Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Opening an Internet Cafe

Zhou Xueyi felt a pain in his heart out of anger as he clenched his teeth and opened the file to see the list.

Seeing the names inside, his vision darkened again.

All of them were his confidants!

Zhou Shuyan had even managed to find the list of his confidants!

"Second Uncle, please go handle the relocation of the new office. You might as well get acquainted with the new colleagues," Zhou Shuyan said indifferently, "I still have work to attend to."

Zhou Xueyi, grinding his teeth, silently took the list and left.

Meanwhile, Lu Youxi, after negotiating with the real estate agent and the shop owner, ultimately agreed to purchase the shop for 350,000 yuan.

The owner suggested that it would be preferable to sign the contract before the National Day celebrations and complete the transfer procedures efficiently.

Lu Youxi calculated her finances and found it was about time to sell her stocks.

She informed her roommate and classmates who followed her investment lead.

She planned to sell, and the others could choose as they wished.

This time, no one hesitated; some even feared they might sell too late and hurriedly sold their stocks.

The fact that the stock Lu Youxi bought could rise despite the general instability of the market was rare.

Hence, she didn’t earn as much as the last time.

However, Lu Youxi had invested more capital this time, and with her profits included, she now had 110,000 yuan in cash, which was only enough for the down payment.

For the rest, Lu Youxi would need to take out a loan.

But her current situation clearly did not meet the loan conditions.

Lu Youxi initially thought of asking Liu Yushu to be her guarantor.

As Lu Youxi pondered how to discuss it with Liu Yushu, Zhou Shuyan called, bringing up the topic of her buying a property.

"I don’t know how much money you have on hand, but it’s definitely not enough to buy a house. What do you plan to do?" Zhou Shuyan asked over the phone.

"Given my situation, I can only find a guarantor. I want to try asking my mom to see if it will work," Lu Youxi explained, and if it didn’t, she would find another way.

"I’ll be your guarantor," Zhou Shuyan said. "Auntie might not meet the criteria, especially in terms of a stable income; she probably isn’t suitable."

"Being a guarantor isn’t a trivial matter," Lu Youxi replied seriously. "If I run away, you’d have to shoulder the debt."

"You’re already registered on my family book, does being a guarantor really make that much difference?" Zhou Shuyan chuckled. "Moreover, I can handle the debt. But most importantly, I know you won’t run."

"With your stock trading skills, how could you not pay it back? You’ve already earned what others might not earn in a year within just a month," Zhou Shuyan joked.

After pausing, his voice became serious, "Also, your parents and brother are here; you wouldn’t irresponsibly abandon them and run away. What would they do if you left? Without you, things would become very difficult for them."

"Yes, so there’s no way I would run away," Lu Youxi asserted confidently, "Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you shoulder the debt."

"Zhou Shuyan, you trust me and are willing to help me, I won’t let you regret it," Lu Youxi was moved and then suggested, "How about letting you invest in my business?"

"What?" Zhou Shuyan was surprised.

Many people wanted him to invest, but it was the first time he heard someone planning to let him invest in buying a shop.

"You don’t need to spend money; I’ll give you shares," Lu Youxi explained, "Not of the little shop I’m buying now, but of the company I will establish later. I’ll give you a portion of the shares."

Zhou Shuyan wasn’t surprised that Lu Youxi wanted to start a company; he just didn’t expect her plans to be set in motion so quickly.

She had just bought a shop, and she was already planning to start a company?

"What kind of company do you plan to establish? When?" Zhou Shuyan asked seriously.

Had Zhou Shuyan been in front of Lu Youxi, she would have seen how earnestly he was taking the idea of her starting a company.

"I’ve had this idea for a long time," Lu Youxi briefly shared her plans, "But it cannot be rushed. I plan to secure the shop first to run an Internet café. Once the café is up and running, I’ll start planning to establish the company."

"An Internet café?" Zhou Shuyan hadn’t really asked Lu Youxi what she planned to do with the shop.

"Yes, nowadays most people go to internet cafes to use the internet. The cafes offer fast internet, and not many families own personal computers," Lu Youxi explained, "Moreover, foreign online games are becoming very popular in Hua Country, but household computers and internet speeds may not necessarily support such games. Hence, most hardcore gamers prefer to play in internet cafes."

"Also, though there is an internet café in the university, compared to the total number of students, the number of computers available is just a drop in the bucket. If you want convenience and go to the school’s café, spots can only be secured by those who arrive first. For example, at our university, most students opt to go to cafes outside of school. But currently, the environment in these internet cafes is just mediocre. Many gamers who get carried away end up gaming throughout the night."

"I want to capitalize on this and create a type of internet café that hasn’t been introduced here before," Lu Youxi said. "Luckily, the former landlord partitioned the second floor into smaller rooms, which are slightly too small to serve as hotel rooms but perfect for private gaming rooms in an internet café. With one computer, a toilet, and a small bed, it is enough. The guests can rest on the bed beside them if they get tired."

"To be honest, for visitors to the internet café, every second after they start their session is money. Few would be willing to rest for long. So the small rooms should suffice for the customers," Lu Youxi noted with a laugh.

"On the first floor, there’s the typical large hall of the internet café, with rows of computers. Customers can order food if they feel hungry."

Listening to Lu Youxi, Zhou Shuyan thought the idea was indeed feasible.

Lu Youxi had a great concept.

"Indeed, it could work," Zhou Shuyan nodded in agreement. "This is quite rare among the current internet café environments in Hua Country."

Although Zhou Shuyan’s experience with internet cafes was limited to Hetai Town, the Chengzhou Group also designed and manufactured computers, and computers for internet cafes held a significant market share at the present stage.

Thus, the marketing department had specifically conducted site visits and sampled surveys of internet cafes.

Therefore, Zhou Shuyan had a reasonable understanding.

Zhou Shuyan paused before asking, "What about the company, will it be related to networking?"

"If possible, I’d like to establish a company related to real estate," Lu Youxi said. "I am very optimistic about the future of the property market in Hua Country. If the market develops further, I won’t have the capability to take part in it. But as it stands, I have a fighting chance."

Lu Youxi had her plans, and Zhou Shuyan naturally wouldn’t object.
