Guan Qiu, who was just about to leave, turned on the machine again and went to the surfing area upstairs.

Just now, I heard the fat and big-eared Internet cafe owner complain that the Cultural Bureau came to urge them to apply for a certificate again, and he suddenly remembered something.

In mid-2002, a major safety accident was caused by a man-made fire in an Internet cafe in Yanjing, killing dozens of people and seriously injuring more than a dozen people.

It was after this that the country's supervision of Internet cafes became increasingly strict, and it began to crack down on black Internet cafes that operate without licenses. The prices of Internet cafe business licenses soared sharply.

Guan Qiu clearly remembered one thing: In early 2003, a person from the Cultural Bureau asked the Scarecrow Internet Cafe to apply for a business license, but the boss did not apply because he had to pay more than 1,000 yuan.

At that time, the boss said to the people from the Cultural Bureau: "If anyone else doesn't do it, why do you want me to do it?"

Soon SARS came and the matter was left alone.

When SARS passed, the Cultural Bureau came to urge him several times, but the boss just refused.

In December 2003, Lucheng Cultural Bureau began to completely rectify the Internet cafe industry. Internet cafes that had incomplete certificates and licenses, inconsistent fire and sanitation conditions, and failed to meet the software and hardware facilities, were successively closed.

Finally, the boss of the company reacted in time and asked someone to find a relationship. He spent about 20,000 yuan to get the license.

As the Internet cafe licenses become more and more difficult to handle. For example, Lucheng, at this time, all licenses can be obtained without costing 2,000 yuan; by the middle of next year, one license alone can be sold for 200,000 to 300,000 yuan.

The owner of the Scarecrow Internet Cafe sold the Internet cafe at that time. He sold 60 bad machines and one license for 400,000 yuan. This was what the owner who bought the Internet cafe told him in person.

The license of 20,000 yuan was obtained, and it made 300,000 yuan with the machine. At that time, the Scarecrow boss was so happy that he took the money to another black Internet cafe. He thought a gust of wind from above would pass.

But he soon regretted it. The gust of wind lasted for four years. I remember that his Internet cafe was closed every day and had to "code" when entering the door, and it went bankrupt not long after.

The price of Lucheng Internet cafe licenses has been rising steadily, 400,000, 500,000, and 600,000, and even reached nearly 1 million yuan per ticket at one time. The boss regretted it and his intestines were blue.

But now, this is an opportunity for him.

In 2003, Lucheng's economy has not recovered in full, and it is a county-level city, and its policy implementation has been slow. As long as you stock up on some licenses before the policy is tightened at the end of the year, you can sell it in May next year and quickly decide. Use the money you earn to borrow more than a dozen houses to buy in the prosperous areas in the future, and realize your wish to be a landlord in your previous life.

Then, in the middle, you will do other side jobs and wait for the opportunity to get rich with peace of mind.

As for treating Internet cafes as a money tree and a long flow of water, he never thought about it.

Not to mention that the hardware facilities requirements for Internet cafes are becoming more and more stringent in the future, it will be very troublesome to operate such entertainment venues. After the policy is strict, various departments such as public security, fire protection, industry and commerce, and taxation will use various names such as inspection fees, management fees, and review fees to fight for the autumn wind, which will be exhausted.

As long as he has the capital and has more ways to make money, he will not hang himself on a rope!

...

Guan Qiu searched carefully online and quickly found the relevant news. The incident happened in the early morning of June 16 last year.

As time goes by, Guan Qiu searched again and soon found the recent relevant policies of the Lucheng government: it is necessary to strengthen the training of the quality of Internet cafe practitioners, and to rectify relevant Internet cafes that do not meet the conditions within a time limit...

"Remediation within a time limit" rather than "suspension of business rectification" and "banning", which made Guan Qiu breathe a sigh of relief.

After looking at the time, the document notice was released at the beginning of this month, indicating that the above is in the guidance stage and has not yet begun to strictly enforce the law. Time is tight.

Guan Qiu got off the plane directly.

When he left the door, a wave of heat came towards him, but Guan Qiu had no idea and was thinking about the Internet cafe license in his mind.

If you make a fortune in vain, you can’t play with it, so you can only make a big fortune with a small fortune.

But the problem is that it is not that easy to get an Internet cafe license. You have to have a business place, buy machines, buy tables, chairs, benches, pull dedicated lines, unified Internet cafe management procedures, etc., all of which cost money!

Based on his experience in his previous life, rent, tables, chairs, and dedicated lines are easy to say, but 10,000 yuan is enough to handle it. Anyway, he mainly wants to make money by decks, and he doesn't really have to rely on Internet cafes to make money, so the location and environment of Internet cafes doesn't matter, and he doesn't even have to lose.

The main reason is that the machine is more troublesome.

Even if you buy a computer that is about to be scrapped and deal with inspection, it costs at least 1,000-1,200 yuan to a set on the second-hand market. According to the minimum requirement of 30 units for "regular Internet cafes", it costs at least 30,000 yuan here.

If you have all done, you will have to pay 40,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 yuan in advance. The prepayment will be 80,000 yuan, and the principal will be at least 400,000 yuan.

400,000, he doesn't even have 4000 on him now.

"Money, money..."

Guan Qiu scratched his head all the way, passed a hotel outside the residential area, went in and asked about the price, and after spending an overnight stay of 100, he immediately left and changed to a hotel with air conditioning for 50 yuan.

I was about to take a shower, but when I saw that I didn’t bring my clothes, I went out to buy a summer suit and shoes.

150 yuan is gone again.

When he took a shower and lay on the bed, he scratched his head and went to find money. For some reason, Guan Qiu suddenly burst into laughter again as if he had an epiphany.

Rome was not built in one day. It’s a big deal to be anxious on the first day of rebirth. At worst, you don’t need to get an Internet cafe license plate and do something else and still have a lot of money. Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?

sleep!

…………

In 2003, compared with the spotless roads in later generations, unified planning shops and rows of tall buildings, Lucheng City Center has less elegance and more down-to-earth leisure and calmness.

Since it is Saturday, there are many people going to the city center to have a lot of shopping. At 9 o'clock in the morning, several commercial streets with horizontal and vertical hooks near Renmin Road were already crowded.

At 9:10, a taxi was parked at the door of an antique noodle shop diagonally opposite the old mall. The door opened and a girl wearing a baseball cap, a printed white T-shirt + mid-waist striped skirt, and white canvas shoes walked out.

Under the girl's baseball cap is a refreshing and clean oval face, big eyes, blushing cheeks, and white skin as white as fat. When you pinch it, you can get water.

At this moment, headphones were stuffed in his ears, and one end of the headphone cable was connected to the black canvas bag in his hand, exuding a youthful and lively atmosphere. The passing men frequently turned their heads and watched.

After getting out of the car, the girl quickly walked into the noodle shop. After ordering something at the front desk, she found an empty seat to sit down, and then took out a Samsung flip phone from her bag and started sending messages.

After a while, the girl might have been in the message. She picked up her cell phone and looked at it. Her cheeks bulged under the brim of her hat and said angrily: "I actually asked me to wait for you. Is it really intolerable!"

Five minutes later, the waiter came over with noodles. At this moment, the girl saw a motorcycle parked at the door. The boy wearing a T-shirt and big shorts at the back of the car came down to pay for the payment, and then quickly went up the steps.

For some reason, the girl subconsciously felt that the other party was the one she had to wait for.

The girl took out her cell phone and took off the battery panel, then lowered her head and pretended to eat noodles. Yu Guang secretly observed the other party.

I saw the boy who came in and glanced around the store. When the other person looked at her, she immediately lowered her head and ate noodles.

Immediately afterwards, the boy sent a text message with Xiao Lingtong and then called again.

After no results, I found a seat to sit down, said something to the waiter and waited there.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

About ten minutes later, the boy took out his cell phone and looked at it, called again, and then got up and prepared to leave.
Chapter completed!
