Chapter 80 Is this what you call explosive?
"It tastes good, but Xinyi's cooking skills are better. Let her cook for you next time."
Zhang Ruoxi stuffed her mouth with food, with a proud look on her face look.
Chen Xi nodded and agreed. Although half of the dishes were spicy, he didn't like spicy food. The rest of the dishes were probably specially made by the other party to take care of his taste. However, the taste Very good indeed.
Hearing Zhang Ruoxi mention Shen Xinyi, Chen Xi couldn't help but turn around and saw Shen Xinyi eating her meal with her head down, but she kept glancing at Zhang Ruoxi from the corner of her eyes, as if to tell her to shut up.
At the dinner table, Zhang Ruoxi kept talking, praising Shen Xinyi's beauty, excellence and good family background, and emphasized that there were many boys pursuing her.
Then she said that Chen Xi was handsome and so on. In short, she meant to let him seize the opportunity.
However, Chen Xi was thinking about his future money-making plans, and the phone call from his father just now gave him a sense of urgency.
As for what Zhang Ruoxi was saying, he didn't listen at all, and only occasionally echoed it.
Shen Xinyi was silent throughout the whole process and only focused on eating. Only she probably knew what was going on in her mind.
After finishing the meal, Chen Xi said goodbye to Zhang Ruoxi and Shen Xinyi and left.
Zhang Ruoxi originally wanted to persuade him to stay a little longer, but seeing that he didn't seem to be in a high mood, she didn't speak.
"Xinyi, I finally called him here, why don't you seize this opportunity? All my hard work was really in vain." Zhang Ruoxi said with some disappointment.
"Humph, scare others away." Shen Xinyi said with a resentful tone.
Her eyes seemed to be able to shoot out lasers and burn Zhang Ruoxi in front of her to ashes.
A few days later, on an auspicious day, Chen Xi officially opened. Previously, Internet cafes had carried out a lot of publicity and attracted many people's attention.
After some renovations, the originally shabby store became unique. The walls were covered with various game posters and all computer equipment was available.
The first floor is the lobby, and the second floor has two private rooms. In addition, several computers and a storage room were temporarily placed on the first floor.
All the layouts are based on the Beyond Internet Cafe in the previous life.
The front desk has set up a recharge business, which not only supports domestic game recharges and equipment purchases, but also increases prices and charges service fees.
However, for international students, these costs are not a problem.
They can live frugally, quit smoking, and even refuse to pick up girls, but if they don't spend money in the game, it will simply kill them.
“Is this the explosive thing you call?”
At Box Hill, some small bosses from China, led by Zhang Guoqiang, came to support Chen Xi.
Chen Xi asked, pointing to the young men holding lion heads in front of him.
"How is it? It's not bad, right? The grand openings here all require lion dance performances, but I spent a lot of effort to invite them. There are many people from Guangdong Province here, and they are very particular about this aspect. If you want to gain a foothold here, you must cater to their preferences."
What Zhang Guoqiang said made sense. Chen Xi naturally understood this truth, so he did not refute, but thanked Zhang Guoqiang, and then Say hello to the bosses around you.
"Young boys are not bad. Is there anyone who can help us in the future."
"Thank you very much."
A bald boss from Guangdong smiled at Chen Xi said that they came to Tu'ao very early and many of them could not speak Mandarin, but Chen Xi had stayed in Tu'ao for a long time and could already understand Cantonese. He expressed his gratitude to that person.
"You're welcome, we are all Chinese and we naturally want to help each other."
"Thank you, boss." Chen Xi respected these people very much because they had deep connections and influence in the area.
Build a good relationship with them and if anything happens in the future, you can seek their support and help.
The lion dance performance kicked off with cheers. Two lion dancers, wearing glittering lion heads, stood majestically on the roadside.
They jumped up nimbly, as if real lions were galloping on the ground.
The audience was attracted by their performance and gasped in admiration.
The lion dancers had a perfect tacit understanding and made the image of the lion lifelike. Chen Xi smiled at Zhang Guoqiang and said: "Haha, I thought you would find some long-legged and big-boobed girls to perform dance at my door, but I didn't expect this."
Zhang Guoqiang He also gave a lewd smile in return , took out a stack of colorful tickets from his pocket, and said with some pride: "Hey, if you like it, I have something that can meet your needs."
His eyes and smile showed some A feeling of malicious intent.
"I'll go, so many tickets? Are you a scalper? Give me some of these good things."
Chen Xi exclaimed, staring closely at the tickets in Zhang Guoqiang's hand.
"Hey, I know you like it, so I'll give you a few." Zhang Guoqiang took out a few tickets and handed them to him.
These are the tickets for SexyPool, a huge striptease show in the city center, along with the usual exhibition of adult products.
It is now 2006, and the scale of the performance can be said to be very large. Men from the entire Mo Village will flock to it, but tickets are hard to get.
Zhang Guoqiang could actually get so many votes. If it weren't for scalpers, Chen Xi really wouldn't believe it.
“Okay.”
“I can’t wait any longer.”
Dongdong and Xiao Ming eagerly looked at the tickets in Chen Xi’s hand, with lustful glints in their eyes .
Looking at the two hungry people, Chen Xi couldn’t help laughing.
He had personally experienced this grand event in his previous life. It was crowded and lively, even more lively than New Year's Eve.
Because of this event, people from other cities will rush to fly in. It can be said that more than half of the men in Tuao and Australia will gather together that day.
Of course, opening a business requires some recharge activities. Except for Internet cafes, Tuao will not do any card processing activities in other places.
He directly brought over a set of recharge activities from domestic Internet cafes.
On the first day of opening, recharge 100 and get 50 yuan, and recharge 200 and get 100 yuan.
Internet cafes are not cheap, with the lowest configuration of the lobby being 3.5 Australian dollars per hour and the private rooms being 5 Australian dollars. Although it is more expensive than the nearby Geto Internet Cafe and Orange, their beautiful environment and brand-new equipment attract many customers.
In the crowd, the proprietress of Geto Internet Cafe stood there with a sullen look on her face.
She walked to Chen Xi's Internet cafe, clenched her fists, and stared at the event poster on the wall.
"Hey, isn't this the boss lady? Are you here to surf the Internet?"
Wang Li was naturally not polite when he saw this woman and asked sarcastically.
"I hope you will go bankrupt soon, let's see how long you can stay proud! My Internet cafe Internet fee is much cheaper than yours."
The proprietress said arrogantly, crossing her arms.
She doesn't have much business acumen, so she naturally thinks that the low price of the Internet fee in her Internet cafe is the biggest advantage, and thinks that it will be easy to defeat this newly opened Internet cafe.
"Haha, it's just you? Let your Internet cafe close down within three months."
Chen Xi looked at the woman in front of him, stretched out three fingers, and said coldly.
This statement is not groundless.
The business of Geto Internet Cafe has never been good. Now that Wang Li and others have quit, the proprietress neither knows how to run a business nor understands games.
When something goes wrong with the machine, she just reboots and has no idea where the game is.
The most important thing is that she barely knows English, and most of the people who come here are ghosts.
Therefore, she was unable to communicate with old customers at all.
Before, Chen Xi had notified those old customers in advance. When they heard that there was a recharge event today, they naturally arrived early.
