At 8 o'clock in the evening.

There was heavy snow like goose feathers floating in the sky, and the ground was covered with silver and white.

Wen Shuo, Lin Bo, and five old members of the Longzhixin Computer Society walked out of the "Ximen Shabu" store and laughed. This morning, they pulled thirty computers into the store, and these experts helped to unload, install, and wiring. In the afternoon, they debugged the status of the machine in the store, installed software, enhanced systems, etc., and worked until the evening before they were completed.

Among the five, three senior undergraduates and two graduate students are engaged in related work in Zhongguancun, so these jobs are very beautiful and there can be said to be no mistakes.

According to the previous agreement, Wen Shuo took out 300 yuan, and each of the old members could get 60. In the past, the salary of 60 yuan a day is not small, but for these computer professionals who are in short supply and have work experience, it is not too much. Fortunately, everyone was planning to help free of charge because of the reputation of Wen Shuo and Yang Jingbin. When the work was finished, you pushed me and got the money, but never thought that Wen Shuo didn't say anything and couldn't refuse to take them to the "Ximen Shabu" and took them to the "Ximen Shabu".

The total cost was more than 400.

Wen Shuo was so eloquent during the meal, and he showed so generously that he really made his brothers eat and drink so warmly that he could not recognize his lord on the spot. One of the guys named Zuo Yuqing was so drunk that he wanted to quit his job in a company in Zhongguancun and turned to Wen Shuo's Internet cafe. He even asked for his salary. No need to be too much, just 1,000 yuan a month, and the guys wanted to do it smoothly!

Wen Shuo was so excited that he almost agreed to sign the contract on the spot. This is an expert...

But he held back.

It’s not that I can’t bear to spend a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan, but that I can’t take it seriously after drinking. After Zuo Yuxiu sobered up, everyone couldn’t stand it.

Seeing Lin Bo and the others away, Wen Shuo rode the tricycle in the snow and returned to the Internet cafe.

Under the dim street light, he stood at the door, looking up at the hot pot restaurant sign that had not been removed yet - tomorrow, the person who made the sign will come, and has already made an appointment to make it; tomorrow, he will go to the telecommunications department to urge him, where he has paid the expensive initial installation fee for the DDN dedicated line and has forced a set of corresponding equipment.

So far, the messy expenses and the careful calculation and savings of the fat man’s money in the cracks in the door have indeed not exceeded 400,000!

But after the Internet cafe is opened, there will be quite high expenses - a monthly DDN dedicated line rental fee of more than 5,000 yuan; it is estimated that there will be 2,000 yuan of electricity bills per month. Together with all kinds of expenses in industrial and commercial and urban management, it will also cost less than 1,000 yuan per month...

Moreover, employees are required.

Because Wen Shuo is a pure layman in computers, and while running an Internet cafe, he cannot delay his studies.

It’s not in Wen Shuo’s mind that he really thinks that academics are much more important than making money by opening an Internet cafe, and he doesn’t have that high love. The key is that he knows very well that he wants to open an Internet cafe and wants the Internet cafe to make profits as soon as possible, make more profits, and make long-term profits. He needs the identity of a freshman student at the School of Archaeology and Arts of Peking University, because this identity can allow him to obtain many resources from channels invisibly.

Before you achieve absolute success in your Internet cafe career, wasting your studies would be equivalent to cutting off your own channels and digging your own reputation.

Tired!

Wen Shuo took out the key and opened the door and went in. He turned on the lights. Looking at the neatly arranged computers and desks and chairs, he felt an inexplicable urge to be excited. In less than half a year, I started from scratch and made such a big deal!

I will call tomorrow and ask my mother to go to Beijing quickly!

Check out the store!

This is the Internet cafe opened by her son in Beijing, outside the gate of Beijing University. He invested hundreds of thousands of yuan and had to spend more than 10,000 yuan a month!

Yes, that's it!

The fat man felt that showing off and showing off was a technical job: he sighed and said how much money he had to spend every month was more low-key, but more high-end than saying how much money he had earned in a month!

The reason is simple. It is a fixed number to say how much money you earn in a month. But if you say how much you need to spend every month, although it is also a fixed number, in the listener's mind, your income will be infinitely magnified: "Look, this guy's monthly expenditure is more than the money we earn in a year, then his monthly income will definitely be as much, maybe as much! He is still worried, probably because he is afraid that we will borrow money..."

Just when Wen Shuo couldn't help but feel proud, a loud knock on the door came from behind.

He turned his head to look and saw that Huang Jianzhi, wearing a thick black down coat, leather high-tube cotton boots and cotton gloves, was standing outside the door while stomping her feet, raising her hand to knock off the snow on her body, then took off her mask and hoodie, and pushed open the door and smiled.

"Qin Zhi, it's so late, why are you still coming out?" Wen Shuo shouted angrily.

"Well, when I was having dinner with my classmates, I saw you and Lin Bo and the others going to Ximen Shabu. I think you may drink, but it may not be the time to eat." Huang Qinzhi said with a smile: "So, I'll come to the store to take a look."

"This thought is worthy of praise!" Wen Shuo glanced around the room and said, "I will go find someone tomorrow and install the roller shutter door, which is more safe."

Huang Qinzhi nodded and paced indoors to look at every computer, desk and chair.

It's really a sense of accomplishment.

"I spent more than 400 more meal tonight." Wen Shuo followed her and said, "I haven't had time to write it on the account book yet. You go to the inner room to check the account book? You have been too busy these days, and the money is spent like a waterfall pouring water down..."

"No, I believe you." Huang Qinzhi said casually.

Wen Shuo pulled a chair and sat down, stretched his waist hard, and said, "I greeted Lin Bo tonight and asked him to help him choose a few professional skills. He has not worked for a while and has a down-to-earth member to work here. The salary has not been finalized. I estimate that each person will have at least 500 to 600 yuan, and it will take three or four people."

"Well, you decide."

"Hey, do you really want to be a hand-off manager? This made me decide, and that would believe me..." Wen Shuo said with a bitter face: "I've been exhausted these days."

Huang Qinzhi stopped, looked at Wen Shuo with a smile, and said, "I promised before that you and I will manage the public account together, and the expenses of the Internet cafe are all here. Now, I suddenly have another idea. Your investment in the Internet cafe is relatively higher, so you can raise 2,000 yuan from the public account every month as your salary. How about it?"

"No," Wen Shuo immediately raised his thumbs up with a smile, and then said with a frown: "No, no, I have one more item of expenditure, so the book will not be beautiful. So, you and I have a fixed salary of 300 yuan a month."

Huang Qinzhi smiled with her lips pursed and did not comment.

After a while of silence, Huang Qinzhi suddenly said, "During this period, you have become a different person, and I feel very curious."

"What?" Wen Shuo said in surprise.

"That day, you told me that Lin Bo and the others wanted to help you with the initial computer installation work for free, but you insisted on giving them three hundred yuan in salary. I can understand this. You may not want to owe them favors, but why do you want to invite them to dinner?" Speaking of this, Huang Qinzhi emphasized again: "I'm not accusing you of wasting it, but, well... I'm curious, with your personality, you should save as much as you can."

Wen Shuo curled his lips and said with a bitter face: "Because Lin Bo and the others are too proud, even if I gave them 300 yuan in salary, they psychologically and in my psychology, I still feel that they have helped me a lot. Human favors are the least valuable, but they are the most valuable, and I don't like to owe favors to others. The relationship with Lin Bo and the others is far from being as good as human favors. Therefore, I will slap them 300 yuan, and then ask them to be generous. Guess what? They should feel that they owe me now... At least, when they think about it occasionally, they will no longer think that they have helped me a lot today."

"I understand." Huang Qinzhiruo nodded thoughtfully and said softly: "Don't you think you are too utilitarian and too inhumane?"

"Emotion is actually the same as human feelings. It is the most valuable and the least valuable." Wen Shuo sighed and said with a little emotion: "I admit that in my heart, whether it is Li Yang or Lin Bo, they do not regard them as friends at all. There is only the concept of 'useful' and 'useless'. But people, there is an old saying that it is good. Over time, people's hearts will naturally be cultivated. What should not be have. Fortunately, I didn't think about this at the beginning, so I won't feel lost. If both sides really have friendship in the future, the mentality of dealing with things is another matter."

Huang Qinzhi tilted her head, stared at Wen Shuo with her eyebrows frowning, and said seriously: "I doubt, do people like you have friends? Or, in your heart, do you really have friends?"

Wen Shuo was stunned, lowered his head and thought about it seriously, then nodded and said, "Yes, several."

"Why are you hesitating?" Huang Qinzhi chased after him.

"Because I'm thinking." Wen Shuo said very naturally: "A person as stingy as me, who is willing to pay for helping someone without hesitation at critical moments. Then, he must be my real friend."

Huang Qinzhi nodded: "Am I counted?"

"..." Wen Shuo was stunned - what kind of friend are you? You will be my wife in the future. We are in love and family affection, and it has nothing to do with friendship.

Now?

Now he is a business partner, a partner on the road to getting married, starting a family and having children...

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask such boring questions." Huang Qinzhi said sincerely, her cheeks flushed slightly - with her personality, she never liked to ask such childish questions that obviously force the other party to answer them satisfactorily, but just now, she blurted out in a strange way, and then looked at Wen Shuo's hesitant expression, and she felt a little sad and sad.

Unexpectedly, in this fat man's heart, I was not qualified to be friends.

Just a partner and a shareholder.

So a little girl's anger arises in her heart - I don't treat you as a friend yet, hum!

The fat man hesitated for a while, his eyelids drooped, his white and fat cheeks flushed, and he whispered shyly: "I, I think we... no, no, it's my hope, it's not right, it should be that I'm not satisfied with the current relationship..."

"Hmm?" Huang Qinzhi's pretty face was stern.

"I didn't say anything!" The fat man raised his hands and surrendered.
