Return To 1998

When Xu Tongdao drove back to the Internet cafe, it was already over 10 in the morning.

Today is the first day that his Internet cafe is open, and business may not be very good. For this, he was mentally prepared when he drove to the Internet cafe.

But when he came to the Internet cafe, there were only five or six people surfing the Internet, and he was still a little disappointed.

This popularity is a far cry from the fact that most Internet cafes in his memory had excellent business.

Zheng Qing was sitting inside the cash register, with a cigarette in his hand, and staring at the computer as if playing a game.

Dai Yang also opened a computer near the cash register and was visiting a forum.

The only five or six players were scattered all over the hall. They looked like three or two kittens. When Xu Tongdao entered the door, someone glanced at it, and someone didn't even notice that someone came in.

Zheng Qing at the back of the cash register noticed it. He looked over and saw that it was Xu Tongdao. Zheng Qing smiled and nodded.

Xu Tongdao smiled back, frowned and walked over, walked to Zheng Qing's side, and asked in a low voice, "Has business been so weak this morning?"

Zheng Qing said, "I think it's good. We just opened our business and didn't make any publicity. There are so many people here today. Are you still not satisfied?"

He had never seen the grand occasion of the original space-time Internet cafe, and felt that the business this morning was already very good.

But Tongdao Xu doesn't think so.

Yes!

It was open on the first day of today. At this time, there were five or six players in the store to play. It seems to be pretty good. At least today, the utility bills will definitely be earned.

But this is too far from the business he wants.

However, Zheng Qing's words just reminded him-propaganda.

After all, Internet cafes are a new thing. If you want to promote it, you really should do a little bit of necessary publicity.

"I'll go out for a while and come back in a while!"

As Xu Tongdao spoke, he strode out.

Zheng Qing frowned and said to himself: "I just came back and went out again?"

Not long after Xu Tongdao went out, he came back.

"Why did you go?"

Dai Yang asked curiously.

"Go and order a batch of leaflets and a few posters."

Xu Tongdao answered casually.

When he came back this time, he still carried some vegetables, noodles, and some condiments, which he bought on the way just now and prepared to eat at noon. During the renovation, the kitchen was also simply set up.

With water and electricity, I also bought a liquefied gas stove, and simply bought a set of pots and pans.

It’s impossible to make a big meal, but it’s okay to make a simple meal here.

What made Xu Tongdao frown was that after coming back this time, there were fewer players in the Internet cafe, with only 4 players left.

However, he didn't say anything.

After all, Zheng Qing is not to blame, and Dai Yang is not to be blamed. To blame, he can only be blamed on Xu Tongdao himself. This time the opening was still too hasty. No publicity was done, so a sign was placed in the alley. , It's not much different from Jiang Taigong fishing.

He carried the vegetables, noodles and condiments in his hand into the kitchen and began to make lunch.

Conditions are limited. Today is the first time to use this kitchen. He simply fry two dishes and cook a pot of noodles.

A green pepper shredded pork, a tomato scrambled egg.

With the noodles in the pot, it is simply topped with noodles.

When it was done, he served a bowl himself, and when he went out carrying it, he shouted: "Brother Qing, Teacher Dai! Have dinner! Go and serve it yourself!"

"Ah, good! Come!"

"coming!"

The two agreed and both got up and walked to the kitchen. When they passed by Xu Tongdao, they both looked curiously at the contents of Xu Tongdao's bowl.

"It's noodles? Hey, I like it!" Dai Yang said.

"It's better if you are here, otherwise I can only go out to buy and eat at noon today." This is what Zheng Qing said.

Xu Tongdao smiled, walked behind the cash register, and sat down to eat.

Perhaps because it was lunch time, only one player was still playing with headphones in the Internet cafe at this time.

Misery, just one word.

Xu Tongdao admires himself for being able to open an Internet cafe like this in 1999.

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

He bowed his head and slurred noodles, but he didn't panic in his heart.

A bad start did not shake his confidence in this Internet cafe.

He firmly believes that the business of his Internet cafe will get better, and this is the general trend for at least the next ten years. The Internet era is coming, and no one can stop the booming business of Internet cafes.

He had just filled his mouth with noodles, before he had time to chew and swallow, there was a sound of running footsteps outside the door.

what's the situation?

Xu Tongdao raised his head in amazement. As soon as he raised his head, he saw a young man running into the Internet cafe with excitement, panting and scanning the brand new computers in the Internet cafe. He turned his head and shouted outside the door: "Hey! Hurry up! There are so many computers here, hey, let's play some in the future!"

Before Xu Tongdao could react, two young men and young men ran in outside the door. They were also panting. When they rushed in, they saw that the hall was full of brand-new computers, and both of them were happy. .

"Wow! So many new computers? Great!"

"Grass! If it weren't for Teacher Dai who gave us the discount card this morning and said that there are internet cafes here, I really don't know!"

...

Behind the cashier counter, Xu Tongdao blinked his eyes, and heard one of the young men mentioning "Mr. Dai" in his mouth, and he understood a little bit in his heart.

The three young men strode here and asked as they walked: "Boss! We are Teacher Dai's students. Does the discount card given to us by Teacher Dai really give us a 20% discount on the Internet?"

"Yes! We brought the discount card today, don't believe me!"

One of the boys hurriedly took out a 20-fold card handwritten on hard paper from his trouser pocket.

"Yes, we are all there!"

The other two boys also quickly took out the cards from their bodies.

Xu Tongdao smiled and nodded, "Of course! With this discount card, you will get 20% off when you come online with me in the future!"

"Good! Great!"

"Hey~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then we will definitely come often..."

After being confirmed, the three boys were very happy and took out the money one after another and asked Xu Tongdao to boot them up.

At this time, Xu Tongdao naturally didn't want to eat noodles, and happily collected money, started the machine, and served the three boys.

Before he was finished, Dai Yang came out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles. When he saw the three boys, Dai Yang smiled and greeted Dai Yang. The three boys also greeted Dai Yang quickly.

At this moment, five or six boys and girls walked in quickly outside the door, and their reactions when they entered the door were similar to those of the three boys just now.

Everyone smiled when they saw the new computers in the hall.

Seeing Dai Yang, they also greeted Dai Yang.

Xu Tongdao collected money and turned on these people, and he heard a message from their words-they had just finished class in the morning and had not eaten, so they ran to the Internet.
