rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 197 Emergency Delivery

"How much?"

"Fifteen yuan, can't you afford it?"

In a room with poor lighting, a girl said to Chen Li impatiently.

"Come on~!"

Chen Li thought MMP in his heart and took out fifty yuan with a smile on his face.

He never imagined that accessing the Internet would be so expensive in 1998.

Fifteen yuan an hour, this price is close to that of Internet cafes twenty years later.

But the same fifteen dollars has different meanings in the two eras.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Li looked at the big butt in front of him. He had been exposed to this kind of computer in his previous life, but the monitor was a little larger than the one in front of him.

Basically, by 2002-03, most Internet cafes in China gradually eliminated this kind of big butt and replaced it with LCD monitors.

At this moment, Chen Li actually felt a little regretful, because he found that his idea of ​​opening a fried chicken restaurant was actually wrong.

He should open an Internet cafe!

Fifteen yuan an hour, even if you don’t play games online, it costs six yuan an hour. Is this bitch trying to steal money?

Chen Li looked at the small Internet cafe in front of him with only a dozen computers, and after a rough calculation, he found that the net profit for one day was terrifyingly high.

Okay~ Chen Li admits that he is envious. But envy is useless, because the biggest reason why he does not open an Internet cafe is that he has no money.

Internet cafe licenses are easy to obtain and not expensive these days, but computers are extremely expensive.

Even if it is an assembled machine, the cheapest one these days would cost several thousand dollars to buy.

In addition, Chen Li didn't know much about computers. In his previous life, he had to find someone to help him fix the computer. Every time it broke, he had to find someone to fix it.

Sometimes it's just a minor problem with a memory stick or a loose graphics card, but in the end Chen Li still has to pay the bill.

Okay~! In fact, the biggest reason is that Chen Li doesn’t know that Internet access is so expensive these days.

When he started going to Internet cafes in his previous life, he had already entered the new century, and the cost of surfing the Internet at that time had dropped to two yuan an hour.

And if you become a member, the price can even be as low as one yuan per hour.

If he knew how profitable it was to open an Internet cafe these days, he would have dared to open one even if it only had a few machines.

Anyway, as long as Internet cafes are opened, there will be more and more machines in the Internet cafes within a few months.

"Fuck~! You have no experience!"

In fact, Chen Li knew that the Internet cafe business was very profitable, because he, as someone who had experienced Internet cafes in his previous life, must have known how popular it was.

But first of all, he didn't have that much capital, and secondly, he didn't know that Internet cafes charge so high nowadays, so Chen Li didn't think about it at all.

He also thought about opening an Internet cafe around 2000 after the business of the fried chicken restaurant picked up and he made some money!

This time, Chen Li felt that he was at a loss.

Well~ Facts have proved that even if Chen Li is a reborn person, it does not mean that he can make the best choice.

When people make choices, most people subconsciously choose the one they are more familiar with.

Just like the barbecue restaurant Chen Li opened last year and the fried chicken restaurant he opened this year. Why did he do this? Of course because he didn't have the capital to open a nightclub.

These days, not only does he have no money to open a nightclub, he also doesn't have the connections and resources to open a nightclub.

If Chen Li's family was a wealthy family, he would have to open a barbecue restaurant or a fried chicken restaurant, so he would definitely open a nightclub that he is most familiar with.

I dare not say anything else. Just the nightclub marketing methods in Chen Li’s head, the business is definitely blocked!

But it is a pity that Li Chen's family has no money and no connections, so he can only start from a young age.

From a barbecue stall to a fried chicken restaurant, Chen Li has actually upgraded.

"Hey~! Forget it, write down the Internet cafe and do it when you have a chance later!"

Chen Li shook his head and put away all the things in his mind.

But then Chen Li was dumbfounded again, because he discovered a problem. In September 1998, QQ had not appeared yet?

Okay~! This is an error in Chen Li's memory.

When he came into contact with computers and the Internet in his previous life, both Internet cafes and QQ had already become popular.

As for the development of QQ, Chen Li didn't know that much.

He only remembered that this thing was first called QICQ, but later it was renamed QQ.

But he really didn't know when this thing came out.

He felt that QQ started to become popular around the two years from 1998 to 1999. He really didn't know when exactly it was.

Hey~! Chen Li suddenly had an idea at this moment. It is said that QQ in his previous life was almost sold to others for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chen Li didn't know exactly when.

But since QQ hasn’t appeared yet, it means it will take some time.

If Chen Li has enough funds at that time and directly gives QQ, will there be no Penguin in the future?

"Forget it~!"

Chen Li shook his head again. The Internet was not his strong point. If he had the opportunity to invest in individual stocks, it would definitely be great.

But if he was left to fiddle with it on his own, he would definitely not be the one to make it.

It's not like you can directly manage a company after being reborn. After all, in his previous life, Chen Li was not a technology tycoon or business owner, he was just an ordinary nightclub marketing director.

So, don’t think about those things that are available but not available. If there is an advantage, take advantage of it. If there is no advantage, then do your best to do what you are doing.

Chen Li knew that QQ's development was relatively difficult in the early stage, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as the rumors on the Internet in his previous life.

QQ started with five people and a founding capital of 500,000 yuan, but in this era, how many people can afford so much money?

Chen Li, a reborn person, first offered a buy-one-get-one-free offer while making barbecue, and then gave several marketing plans to Deng Weimin at "cabbage prices."

But how much money did Chen Li get in the end? Even including the small shop, the total was only around 100,000 yuan.

This was because Deng Weimin was extremely optimistic about Chen Li and wanted to kidnap Chen Li aboard the ship.

In his previous life, Brother Ma said that in the early days of QQ's development, they once borrowed money from everywhere to pay for the server.

That's it. How many ordinary people want to borrow it? You must know that as the number of QQ users increased at that time, the cost was not a small sum of money.

A good server costs at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, so you can imagine how much pressure the Penguin Five were under at that time.

But people still persevere, and how many ordinary people can do this?

In addition, when QQ encountered difficulties later, Xiao Ma and others wanted to sell QQ, but if you look at the people he found, they were all big shots in the domestic Internet industry these days.

And if you are an ordinary person, you may not even be able to meet those big bosses face to face.

And the most critical point is that the Five Tigers of Penguin can develop Penguin to the scale of later generations, which does not mean that Chen Li can do it.

Even if he took over QQ and even copied the development trajectory of Penguin in his previous life, people are different.

There are some things that Brother Ma can do, but Chen Li may not be able to do.

Therefore, if Chen Li wants to get some money from QQ and Penguin, the best way is to take advantage of the sluggish development of QQ in the early 2000s to see if he can get a chance to get some money and buy some shares.

.

Because once the millennium reaches the millennium, as long as Penguin succeeds in financing, it will be impossible for Chen Li to do anything.

Therefore, Chen Li needs to find the right opportunity at the right time in order to succeed!

So, this is Chen Li’s idea. As for whether it can come true, let’s leave it to fate!

After all, Ma Xiaomao’s family background is there! No matter how difficult it is for QQ, it is the same as a celebrity saying that he has no money in his card.

When the time comes, whether Brother Xiao Ma and the others will accept Chen Li’s investment may be another matter!

The same principle applies to Ah Li Ma. His family background is not bad, and the house where he started his business was all his own.

You know, Ah Li Ma bought that house for 450,000 yuan.

Anyone who can directly spend so much money to buy a house and start a business these days will definitely not be easily picked off by Chen Li.

Of course, it's hard to say, because with Ah Li's character, he would probably trick Chen Li into joining Ah Li.

After all, that buddy was once regarded as a big swindler and a big liar!

Therefore, today's Chen Li is too lazy to focus on people like Xiao Ma Ge and Ah Li Ma.

Again, if there is an advantage to be taken advantage of, then Chen Li will take advantage of it, but he cannot put the cart before the horse.

It is the last word to start from an industry that you are more familiar with and develop steadily.

So ~ after discovering that QQ had not yet been launched, Chen Li's "first time" online was only for twenty minutes.

During this period, Chen Li tried to see if he could activate the secondary profession of programmer or hacker, but it failed.

Later, Chen Li also visited the most popular chat rooms at present, and in the seemingly inconspicuous web chat room, there might actually be someone who will be a big boss in the future.

But this means nothing to Chen Li, because he believes that sooner or later he will be a big boss in the future.

Okay~! When thinking of this, Chen Li felt somewhat guilty.

Because he knew very well that even if he were to live another life, there would definitely be no problem for him to become a rich man. As for the boss, that was hard to say.

These are all things for later. After Chen Li discovered that QQ did not exist, he lost interest in continuing to surf the Internet.

The main purpose of his visit to the Internet cafe this time is to see if QQ is available. He actually wants to get a five-digit QQ number~ It seems that he can only wait for a while before talking about it.

After surfing the Internet for twenty minutes, Chen Li spent five yuan. After feeling once again that Internet cafes are really profitable these days, Chen Li left the Internet cafe.

Back at the rental house, Chen Li took his suitcase of clothes to the dormitory. As soon as he entered the dormitory, Chen Li heard a "bad news"!

The military training at Yanjing University of Foreign Studies is not conducted in the school, but directly at a military station on the outskirts of Yanjing City.

At that time, Chen Li was dumbfounded. He had always thought that military training was conducted on campus, because almost all the military training he had learned about in his previous life was like this.

I didn’t expect that Yanjing’s university military training would be so fun?

But then, Chen Li heard another piece of good news.

"I heard that I can do target shooting! I don't know how many bullets I can shoot."

Li Jun, a familiar person, not only became familiar with other students in the dormitory, but also became familiar with the counselor.

When he heard the news, Chen Li was stunned. Shooting ~ does this also mean that you can touch a gun?

Uh~ But after the excitement, Chen Li calmed down again.

The reason is also very simple. Even if Chen Li activates a sub-profession during this military training, it will not be very useful in reality unless he joins the army.

Of course, Chen Li doesn't have too many sub-professions, and he will definitely not refuse to activate them.

But now there is a bigger problem in front of him, that is, if he goes to military training, then the originally scheduled opening date of the fried chicken restaurant will be a bit problematic!

Originally, Chen Li set the opening time of the fried chicken restaurant on September 3rd, but now that he is going to military training, he will not be in Weigong Village on the 3rd.

This means that it is impossible for the owner Chen Li to be in the fried chicken restaurant on the day it opens?

This girly thing~ made Chen Li a little depressed.

In fact, this matter is not unsolvable. The worst thing is to wait until Chen Li's military training is over before he can open his business again.

But military training! Half a month! If you don’t do business for half a month, that’s a lot of money!

Moreover, Chen Li has already made preparations to open the store on the 3rd. He has even just printed a lot of flyers and is going to ask Huang Biao and Aunt Song to distribute them!

Chen Li was completely confused now!

But Chen Li had no idea! After all, he had never experienced military training in his previous life. Almost all the military training he knew was from watching some videos circulated on the Internet during the school season.

This is not completely correct, because Chen Li has actually experienced military training. However, the military training for the high school department of Erlong Middle School these days is just three days of simple training on campus.

Therefore, Chen Li never expected that the military training in the university would be so strict from the beginning.

Go directly to the army!

In fact, to be honest, Chen Li was still a little excited. He had never been in the army in his previous life!

He had been trained in military style for many years by his old man since he was a child. In his previous life, he failed to go to college and even almost joined the army.

But due to various reasons, Chen Li finally passed by the military camp.

This time Chen Li had the opportunity to contact the military camp, and he was quite looking forward to it.

Just this fried chicken restaurant

Thinking of this, Chen Li didn't even bother to put the suitcase he brought with him into the cabinet and left the campus again.

As he walked, Chen Li took out his cell phone and dialed Liu Qingqing's pager.

"Hey~! Qingqing~ Where are you going for military training?"

Before Chen Li could reach the fried chicken restaurant, Liu Qingqing's phone called.

"What? Next summer vacation? Why do we need military training when we start school?"

Chen Li was stunned again when he heard that Yan University's military training was actually scheduled for next year's summer vacation.

This was the first time he heard that military training was not held at the beginning of the semester. He had always thought that all universities conducted military training at the beginning of the semester.

"That's it~"

Chen Lili thought for a while and directly informed Liu Qingqing that he was going to military training tomorrow.

"Ah~! What should you do if you open a store on the 3rd?"

Miss Liu has obviously thought of this, after all, Chen Li has been preparing to open the store on the 3rd in recent days.

"Open the store. I'll probably be too late."

"It just so happens that you don't have military training. Can you come over and help me on the 3rd?"

In such a situation, Chen Li had no choice.

After all, if you don't open the store for half a month, the losses will definitely be considerable, so Chen Li decided to open the fried chicken restaurant on the 3rd, but he would definitely be absent from the opening of this first store.

"It's no problem to help. I can bring a few friends to help when the time comes."

Liu Qingqing went out to play with her classmates in the dormitory today. Their girls' dormitory is a six-person dormitory, and Liu Qingqing has made friends with five other friends.

"Okay~ How many of your friends will come over to help you then?"

"In this case, let alone help, you invite them over when the time comes, and the fried chicken restaurant will provide them with a lunch. In addition, each of them will receive a salary of twenty yuan. It will be treated as a part-time job."

"Originally, I was going to ask the guys from our dormitory to go to the store to help that day, but now it's obviously impossible."

"How many can you come over?"

As Chen Li walked, he discussed with Liu Qingqing about opening a store on the 3rd.

When he arrived at the fried chicken restaurant, Huang Biao was cleaning up the store.

The fried chicken shop has been renovated and the corresponding kitchen utensils, freezers, storage cabinets, etc. are all ready.

Currently, fried chicken restaurants only need to wait for the ingredients to arrive before they can actually start business.

But there is something wrong with this ingredient.

After negotiating with Liu Qingqing, Chen Li hung up the phone, leaned against the wall, and pretended to rest, but actually entered the system space.

"System, the task of the chicken farm is completed in one day. When will the ingredients arrive?"

"The system has placed an order with a well-known domestic company, and staff will deliver it to your door tomorrow."

"The system will ensure that the ordered goods meet the host's requirements!"

Perhaps it was because Chen Li had scolded the system in the system space before, so this time the system even gave a special explanation.

However, at this time, Chen Li no longer cared that the price of the system was higher than the dealer's price. Now he just hoped that the ingredients would arrive quickly.

"Can the food be delivered in advance?"

"It would be best if it could be delivered today?"

The ingredients will be delivered today, so Chen Li can familiarize Huang Biao with them in advance, and he can also see the operation of the store with his own eyes.

But if the ingredients don't arrive until tomorrow, then Chen Li probably won't be able to see them.

Moreover, Chen Li actually wanted to see if the person who came to deliver the ingredients was a real person or someone created by the system?

Yes~ Chen Li actually had some doubts about whether the system had set up a broiler farm on its own.

In his previous life, he had read a food novel, and the protagonist in it also had a system.

Every time the protagonist unblocks some ingredients, his system will create a corresponding place for him in reality.

What a winery! A cattle farm!

And the most important point is that there is also a learning space in the system, but the learning space provided by the system is for the protagonist to improve his cooking skills.

"Yes! Emergency delivery, the cost will increase by 5%."

"Fuck~!"

Chen Li couldn't hold it back and cursed in the system space again.

"You're such a fuck, why are you so desperate for money from the system?"

Chen Li was a little confused at the moment, because the system had always paid him money.

From 10 yuan to 10 yuan now, Chen Li has received thousands of yuan in mission rewards from the system.

But since the system was upgraded this time, he felt more and more that the system was raising leeks.

First use small favors and small profits to seduce Chen Li, and then use Chen Li to cut leeks to make big money?

After all, according to Chen Li's vision, he will become a rich man sooner or later. If it is like this time, he will continue to choose the services provided by the system.

So he is a wage earner in the system?

"System? Do you still need to make money?"

In fact, Chen Li didn't understand it. After all, the system was far beyond the scope of thinking and logic.

Logically speaking, compared with something as lofty as a system, a mundane thing like money is not on the same level at all, right?

But the facts are right in front of us. The system is obviously a money-hungry commodity.

“The system charges reasonably!”

The answer given by the system left Chen Li speechless. In fact, he also knew that if the system could guarantee the quality of ingredients as he said, then the price of the system would not be unacceptable.

Although the white-feathered chickens sold by dealers are cheap, domestic white-feathered chickens are really not that safe these days.

The biggest fear for those who make catering is that there is a problem with the ingredients, especially if there are problems such as drug residues in white-feather chicken, it will definitely be a big problem.

This is why Chen Liming knew that the price given by the system was too high, but finally agreed to the price quoted by the system.

Because even according to the system's quotation, Chen Li's profit still falls into the category of huge profits.

After solving the worries about ingredients, Chen Li can safely and boldly start a fried chicken restaurant.

However, he still had a question.

"System, is there someone outside you?"

"Did you use the profits you made from me to support other hosts?"

Chen Li seriously suspected that he was not the only host of this ghost system.

The profits earned by the system from him will be distributed to others as task rewards.

The mission rewards that Chen Li received before may have been earned by the system from others.

"There is only one host in this plane!"

The system's answer was NO, but Chen Li understood it immediately after hearing it. He really guessed it right!

The reason is very simple. The system says that there is only one host in this plane, Chen Li, which means there are other planes.

The last time Chen Li questioned the system, the system mentioned the word "basic plane".

Therefore, Chen Li finally understood why the system wanted to make money.

"System? The more money you make from me, the faster you will advance?"

Chen Li asked the question again, and this time the system gave an affirmative answer.

"yes!"

"Tsk tsk~! You said you are a system with thick eyebrows and big eyes. You said this earlier, do I need to question you so much?"

Sure enough, after hearing the reply given by the system, Chen Li understood.

So at this moment, Chen Li did not hesitate.

"Urgent delivery is urgent delivery. I want to see the ingredients at the fried chicken restaurant before six o'clock today."

"An emergency delivery order has been placed. The ingredients will be delivered before six o'clock. Please confirm it, the host."

"Sure?"

After Chen Li clicked OK, he exited the system space.

"Huang Biao, the ingredients will be delivered in the afternoon."

"I'll bring some people over tonight. You make preparations first. Let's have a trial opening tonight."

"Today? Didn't it say that the ingredients will arrive tomorrow?"

As the "chef" of a fried chicken restaurant, Huang Biao naturally knows when the ingredients will be delivered.

Because according to the original arrangement, Chen Li will hold the opening ceremony and military training at the school tomorrow, and Huang Biao needs to be responsible for handling the ingredients.

"Oh~ By the way, I haven't told you about this yet."

"Fried chicken shop No. 3 is opening! I won't be in the shop. The school has arranged to go to the army for military training. It will take half a month to come back."

"So I can only leave it to you to open the store on the 3rd."

At this moment, Huang Biao felt a little panicked when he heard Chen Li's words. At this moment, he looked at Chen Li and stuttered even when he spoke.

"Brother Li! If you're not here, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Chen Li thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Huang Biao has never been a man of his own. When he was released from detention, his first reaction was to seek refuge with Chen Li.

He used to be a second-rate man, and then he became an apprentice. As a result, Chen Li now wants him to take charge of opening the store. It is absolutely impossible to say that he is not panicking.

For people like Huang Biao, the most suitable way is for someone to tell him what he should do.

"Hmm~! Qingqing will bring someone over to help that day."

Thinking of this, Chen Li also hesitated, because it was obviously impossible for Liu Qingqing to manage a fried chicken restaurant at this moment.

If it were Liu Qingqing twenty years later, let alone a fried chicken restaurant, even a chain fried chicken brand, Liu Qingqing would be able to play well.

But now, Liu Qingqing is just a college student who wants to preside over the opening of a fried chicken restaurant. It is obviously difficult.

"In this case, I'll page Xiao Zhang and ask him to come over."

In fact, Chen Li wanted to call Deng Weimin, but Deng Weimin was the boss of Yanjing Branch of Snow Beer, so asking him to support him was obviously overkill.

Moreover, if the CEO of a large company really comes to Chen Li's fried chicken restaurant, how much of a favor does Chen Li owe?

It is not appropriate to invite Deng Weimin, but it is much better to invite Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang is no longer the Xiao Zhang he was last year. Although I dare not say that he can stand alone, the current Xiao Zhang should have no problem coping with the opening of a fried chicken restaurant.

However, Xiao Zhang is now Mr. Deng’s assistant, so if Chen Ideal wants to borrow Xiao Zhang, he still has to go through Deng Weimin.

So after some entanglement, Chen Li finally called Deng Weimin.

"Brother Deng~Are you busy?"

"Well, I have something to ask you for help."

Chen Li didn't talk nonsense. After answering the phone, he told Deng Weimin about the matter.

"That's it? Just leave the little things to me. When the time comes, I will bring someone to support you."

Although Deng Weimingui is now the boss of Yanjing Branch of Snow Beer, Chen Li is what he considers to be a "noble person".

Even if Chen Li didn't say anything, Deng Weimin was actually planning to go to the fried chicken restaurant to support Chen Li.

After all, who doesn’t have a personal sense of the world?

"No~! Brother Deng, you are busy with your business now. Then you can just lend me Xiao Zhang for a day."

Chen Li quickly refused. Yanjing Beer has started to "counterattack" recently, so Deng Weimin is actually very busy.

Asking Deng Weimin to borrow Xiao Zhang was a solution that Chen Li had to come up with out of necessity. Otherwise, Chen Li would never have asked Deng Weimin to ask for this.

"Okay, don't worry about this. I will make arrangements when the time comes. You can go about your military training with peace of mind. I will take care of the opening of the store for you."

"Brother Deng~!"

"Okay~ okay, this matter is settled. I have something else to do here, so I won't tell you anymore."

Deng Weimin hung up the phone directly, tapping his fingers on his desk, and then picked up the office landline phone.

"Zhang'er, come in."

Soon, Xiao Zhang knocked on the door of Deng Weimin's office.

"Zhang'er, it's like this. Our company's employees have been working very hard recently."

"But I also know that they have been working very hard recently, so I am going to reward the employees of our branch."

"If you do this, please do some statistics and find out how many employees there are in our branch."

"Hmm~! On the 3rd, I will treat all the employees of our branch to eat chicken and fried chicken."

"Please hold on tight to this matter!"

"Okay, Mr. Deng!"

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, but then nodded.

After leaving the office, Xiao Zhang had some guesses in his mind.

When we eat chicken, we eat fried chicken, and it’s still on the 3rd. Tsk~! Mr. Deng is really very optimistic about Boss Chen!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhang decided to do this well. If a basket comes out by then, he will definitely be unable to eat and carry around.

At the same time, Xiao Zhang raised Chen Li's importance in his heart to another level.

Today, he is no longer the somewhat "honest" Xiao Zhang last year. People have to learn to grow.

At this moment, Chen Li received a call immediately after Deng Weimin hung up the phone.

At first, Chen Li thought Deng Weimin had something to say, so he answered the call without even looking at the caller ID.

"Hey, Deng"

"Hey~ is this Boss Chen? This is Shennong Foods."

"Uh~! I am!"

Chen Li quickly took off the phone, looked at the caller ID, and then picked up the phone again and answered it.

"Okay, you ordered a batch of goods from us before, and we are now preparing to deliver them to you. I would like to ask if it is convenient for you there today?"

"Huh? Convenient!"

Chen Li responded casually, but he had already begun to mutter in his heart.

This stupid system, after agreeing to increase the price, it turned out so fast?

"Okay, then we will arrange delivery immediately and it will be delivered to you in about an hour."

"Let me confirm with you again. Your address is No. XX, West Third Ring Road, Haidian District, right?"

"Yes~!"

"Okay, okay! Then we will deliver the goods to you as quickly as possible, please don't worry."

"Okay, thank you, I will wait for you in the store."

Chen Li was speechless after hanging up the phone.

The dog system is indeed a dog system. The treatment with a price increase and the treatment without a price increase are completely two levels.

Moreover, Chen Li had never heard of this Shenlong Food in his previous life!

He does know that there is a Shenlong Automobile Company, and the Shenlong Fukang produced by it is quite popular in Yanjing.

And Chen Li knew very well that there must be no connection between this Shenlong Food and that Shenlong Automobile.

At this moment, Chen Li was a little angry at the lack of information development these days.

If this had happened twenty years later, Chen Li would have looked up relevant information about this Shenlong Food through Baidu on his mobile phone.

But now it is 1998, and Chen Li can only wait for someone from Shenlong Food to come to his door.

"I want to see what this Shenlong Food is about!"

I'm still a bit busy at work today, so I only wrote 8,000 words. I'll just take a look at it. I'll write more after these two days are over.

(End of chapter)
