Chapter 160
Pei Qian saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
It doesn't matter if you touch the fish Internet cafe to make a little money.
The point is, this small amount of money is likely to make all of Pei Qian's efforts in this settlement cycle go to waste!
This cycle is only two short months, and now a month has passed.
Pei Qian has already roughly estimated the profit and loss, and if the surprise cost is included, he can just achieve a loss of several hundred thousand at the time of settlement.
Among them, all Moyu Internet Cafes together lost more than one million yuan, which is a very important part!
If Moyu Internet Cafe really makes money, or just offsets the cost, it will make Pei Qian have more than one million extra funds in the settlement, and it will be too late to spend!
This one million may not seem like much, but it is very likely to turn a good loss into a profit in an instant, which is the most terrible.
Wouldn't that fall short, and all the other projects were all in vain?
Pei Qian's original intention was to make a hodgepodge. The name of the store was "Moyu Internet Cafe". The bar area, book area, small screening hall, catering, etc., were all added around the function of Internet cafes.
In the final analysis, it is to turn Moyu Internet Cafe into an unprofitable Internet cafe.
But I never imagined that the bar area is now crowded, because a resident singer is on fire!
In this way, Moyu Internet Cafe has become Moyu Bar. How can this be done?
This is completely contrary to Pei Qian's original purpose!
How to do it?
Remove the tables and chairs outside the Internet cafe?
No more booze deductions?
Or simply don't have a resident singer in the future?
It's not very good, the name is not right.
Pei Qian asked Ma Yang to remove the display screen and reduce the number of seats outside, which barely makes sense. After all, this is to restore the force of Moyu Internet Cafe.
But going further, it doesn't work.
Completely remove the tables and chairs, and let the customers outside sit?
A good drink is not only beneficial to the revenue of Internet cafes, but also helps to stimulate the enthusiasm of the resident singers. What is the reason to cancel it completely?
These practices are too blunt, easy to cause suspicion, and easy to be warned by the system.
What's more, these are all appearances.
If you want to change all this, the key is to draw money from the bottom of the pot!
What if the tables and chairs outside were removed, and the drinks were cancelled?
These people came to see Chen Lei!
If there is no place to sit, they will stand and listen to music, and the problem will not be solved by then.
Therefore, to solve it, the key is to solve Chen Lei!
"I don't know if this guy has any dreams that I can help fulfill?"
...
At 10 o'clock, the show ends.
Chen Lei bowed and stepped down, and many audience members applauded and cheered.
Ma Yang, Zhang Yuan and the waiters began to see off the guests.
Pei Qian directly pulled Chen Lei to a secluded corner of the Internet cafe and sat down.
Chen Lei had never met Pei Qian. After listening to his self-introduction, he immediately knew that this was the "President Pei" that Ma Yang often mentioned, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Pei Qian asked a few questions about Chen Lei casually, and learned that he didn't go to school after graduating from high school. He was very introverted, and could even be said to be a little autistic.
Chen Lei played music every day at home. He passed by Moyu Internet Cafe by chance and heard someone singing, so he mustered up the courage to apply for a resident singer.
His family was very happy to know that he had found a job, and told him to work hard and get along well with his colleagues.
"You've been in Jingzhou since you were a child, don't you want to see the outside world?"
"If you really want to pursue your music dream, I think you should go to the magic capital, the imperial capital, that's the place to fulfill your dreams."
Pei Qian's words were full of bewitchment.
Chen Lei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why don't you want to? I dream of going to places like the Imperial Capital and the Demonic Capital to have a look!"
"I told others before that I would become a singer, but no one believed me. I know that Jingzhou is too small to accomplish this goal."
"However, the Imperial Capital and the Demonic Capital are too far from home, so my parents will not agree. Moreover, I heard that the living expenses of the Demonic Capital and the Imperial Capital are too high, I am afraid I will starve to death."
Pei Qian was secretly happy.
Since you have a dream, it's easy to say!
What Mr. Pei is best at is fulfilling dreams for others!
Pei Qian smiled and shook his head: "You underestimate yourself too much."
"You don't even know how good you sing! At your level, it's a weapon of mass destruction when you open your voice. Do you know how many little girls are willing to get pregnant for your ears!"
"So, don't underestimate yourself. You will have a better development in a big city. When you return home to Jingzhou, let those classmates and friends who used to look down on you take a good look, and let them envy you!"
Pei Qian's words were still effective, because he saw Chen Lei's eyes twinkle.
A "freak" who is introverted, not particularly good-looking, and who dropped out of school after high school, has always been under pressure from all aspects.
Whether it is parents, classmates, or parents of classmates, it is estimated that Chen Lei is often regarded as a negative teaching material.
How about singing well? In a second-tier city like Jingzhou, there is simply no good platform for him to show.
Chen Lei must be a person who is very eager to be recognized.
Therefore, when he heard the scene described by Pei Qian, Chen Lei was obviously persuaded.
He has long wanted to go to a big city and explore a wider world, hoping that his talent can be recognized by more people.
Looking at what Mr. Pei means now, is he going to provide some material help?
The only thing Chen Lei hesitated now was money.
There is a high commission on the Internet cafe side, and there are many fans who like him. This is Chen Lei's comfort zone, and he doesn't want to move.
When he arrived at the Imperial Capital and Magical Capital, not to mention starting from scratch in an unfamiliar environment, he said that the accommodation and living expenses were not something Chen Lei could afford.
After all, when he gets there, he has no income.
Therefore, Pei Qian must solve this worry for Chen Lei before he can leave with peace of mind.
Pei Qian thought for a while and said, "If you want to go to a big city like Modu and continue to pursue your music dream, I can help you realize your dream."
"Tengda's Feihuang Studio is now in the magic capital. I can transfer you to Feihuang Studio, and then it will be nothing more than asking them to arrange one more person's room and board. You are just hanging on there, you can How do you feel about chasing your musical dreams with confidence?"
One side is the happy life in front of me, the other side is poetry and the distance.
Chen Lei didn't hesitate too much: "Mr. Pei, I... I'm willing!"
...
the next day.
night.
There were still many audiences, but everyone noticed that Chen Lei seemed to be a little absent-minded.
"Outside the pavilion/by the ancient road/the grass is green..."
"Ask you when you're going here/Don't linger when you come..."
Chen Lei was still the same as before. After singing one song followed by another, he just sang without saying a word.
It's just the fans under the stage, but they still heard some problems from his singing.
"Strange, why does it seem to be all about farewell songs tonight?"
"Yeah, it's oddly sentimental..."
"I'll send two more glasses of the Northern Lights."
"Speaking of which, why is that display screen gone?"
"I don't know, but if it's gone, it's gone. It's mainly to support Chen Lei, not to pretend."
Everyone was drinking and chatting as usual, but for some reason, it always felt that the atmosphere today was a bit wrong.
