Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 118 This Woman's Name is Su Duo

But now, Cheng Yi does not have the ability to create a portal website. Let alone creating a portal website, he has been stumbling for many days even in creating a simple forum.

If he wants to create a portal website, he cannot do it alone. It has little to do with programming technology. There are too many things involved, such as content integration, technical challenges, user program optimization, etc. It requires a complete team to do it.

Relying on one person? Forget it.

It was not until the evening that Cheng Yi created the official website of Momo Internet Cafe.

The official website is simply divided into four sections: corporate culture, corporate news, corporate products and corporate cooperation.

He recalled the brainwashing literature he had learned from Amway, filling it up with corporate culture in a lavish manner, piling in all the noble and lofty nouns he knew, with the main purpose of stimulating the reader's emotions.

After building up the corporate culture, Cheng Yi filled in the corporate products. In addition to traditional Internet cafes, he focused on describing the university computer room promotion plan, code-named: 1225.

1225 is the number of universities in 2001. According to the plan, Momo Internet Cafe will adhere to the lofty concept of allowing college students to embrace the Internet and promote the informatization of universities across the country. It plans to place a computer room free of charge in 1225 universities across the country and announce that it will be free of charge forever.

Today, the program has been piloted in 18 universities including Handong University, Handong University of Finance and Economics, Handong Art College, and Handong Agricultural University, and has achieved complete success, receiving high praise and compliments from school leaders.

Cheng Yi followed the crowd and said all this, and was very satisfied with the results. Regardless of how much the plan could be finally executed, given their lofty ideals and noble spirit of dedication, it wouldn't be too much to apply for a license for a national chain of Internet cafes next year, right?

Think about the ten companies that obtained chain Internet cafe licenses in 2003. Except for the state-owned enterprises, the rest were worse than the other. Before 2010, six of them had gone bankrupt. It was really disappointing and miserable.

As for the high praise from the school leaders, it will be inevitable to invite a few of them to come over for tea and take photos.

In this era, there are not so many messy rules. For many things, as long as one person starts it, others will rush to do it.

After all, anything is allowed unless prohibited by law.

A national chain of Internet cafes license is what Cheng Yi is working towards. From the very beginning, he has been working towards this goal.

Moreover, he has to get this done before March next year.

If the application is approved, everyone will be happy. If the application is not approved, he will plan to tear his face off and turn the table over, turn the Internet cafe into a membership service center, and directly announce that it will be free forever, so that all his peers will follow suit and doom the industry, which will cause a major reshuffle.

As long as the merchant franchise can be steadily promoted, he will be profitable even if the Internet cafe is permanently free. As for whether it will lead to the elimination of the Internet cafe industry or cause many Internet cafe practitioners to go bankrupt, that is not within his consideration.

He is a businessman, not a saint.

If a leader is too soft-hearted, he will be bullied by his subordinates. If an entrepreneur is too soft-hearted, he will be digging his own grave.

A man who hates small things is not a gentleman, and a man who is not cruel is not a man.

If an entrepreneur cannot do these ten things, it will be a dead end!
Before he could finish editing the information for the website, there was a knock on his door.

"Come in." Cheng Yi stood up and stretched.

Zhang Lingyu pushed the door open and came in, holding a document and said, "Master, the list of the top 64 has been compiled."

"Let me see." Cheng Yi took the document and read it carefully. Zhang Lingyu followed his instructions and marked the locations of the top 64 teams very clearly.

There are 17 teams formed by outsiders and 47 teams formed by locals.

The names of the teams formed by locals are mostly promotional in nature.

Places like Feiyang Internet Cafe, Jisu Internet Cafe, Xijiao Hotel, Meimei Hair Salon, Baima Club, etc. probably hired so many experts at high prices just in the hope of being on the list this time and showing off in front of millions of folks.

As for the names of the teams formed by outsiders, most of them carry a hint of nostalgia, such as "Stars Light Up", "The Sound of Waves Still", and "Cold to the End"...

"Well, Editor-in-Chief Zhao Gang is waiting. Please email him the electronic version and ask them to quickly prepare the version so that we can publish the announcement tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go post it now."

After Zhang Lingyu left, Cheng Yi carefully looked at the list in his hand again. As long as they made it into the top 64, their strength was not weak.

This time, it seems that two teams are eyeing the finals.

Two teams from Feiyang Internet Cafe entered the top 64, and three teams from Huaxing Electronics entered the top 64.

The fact that more than two teams have entered the top 64 shows that they have undergone very rigorous training and are aiming for the finals from the start.

However, whether or not one can reach the semi-finals actually has little to do with the number of participating teams, and there is some element of luck involved.

After all, luck is also part of strength.

"Oh, if I send the list to Toutiao forum now, Toutiao will probably explode in popularity tonight. It's a pity that I can't snatch the first report from Jingzhou Daily." Cheng Yi resisted the urge to send the list to the forum and began to arrange preparations for tomorrow.

Starting from the round of 64, every game will be recorded in full.

At that time, someone will need to be sent into every game to act as a third-party spectator, and then use the in-game screen recording function to record the entire process.

Fortunately, what Internet cafes lack the least nowadays is network administrators, and there are beautiful girls around every day.

To be on the safe side, after dinner, Cheng Yi gathered them together and began to teach them step by step how to record the screen in the game.

The next morning, Zhao Gang hurried over with eight reporters. Zhao Gang now controlled the internet sector and had a team of elite officers under him. As soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, when does the lottery start?"

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "The draw will start at 64 o'clock this morning. I called the top teams last night."

"How many games are there today?"

"There are eight divisions in total. After the draw this morning, we will hold the matches for Divisions 32 and this afternoon," Cheng Yi said. "We will strive to finalize the top teams within two days."

"Okay, then I'll stay in the commercial street for the next few days." Zhao Gang laughed and said, "I didn't sleep well last night."

Zhao Gang turned around and ordered, "Spread out in a moment and take clear photos of the drawing, capturing every angle."

"Okay, editor-in-chief." Eight reporters responded immediately.

At around nine o'clock, all the major teams arrived one after another.

This time it was more of a fashion show than a lottery session.

It's okay for those wild teams, they just come with their two arms and a head hanging, but the teams with sponsors have a bit of a grand show. Many team owners are all dressed up and attend the event. Not only do they bring their own photographers, but some even have secretaries with them.

No one wants to miss this rare opportunity to show their face.

"Haha, Boss Liu, your team also qualified?"

"What you said is true. Your boss Chen has already qualified. How can I not seize the opportunity?"

"I heard that Boss Zhao's team was eliminated in the points tournament."

"That stingy old man, it's normal to eliminate him. The network administrators under him only make 150 yuan a month. Who else should we eliminate if not him? Unlike our Xiehui Internet Cafe, the network administrators are paid 450 yuan a month."

"Good man, you're really generous. Giving those little brats 450, won't it burn them out? They can't spend it all with 300."

The first floor of the internet cafe had become a buffet for all the major internet cafe owners in Jingzhou City. The list of teams that qualified this time included 21 local internet cafes. At this moment, a Bluebird sedan and a Santana sedan pulled up to the entrance of the internet cafe.

The car door opened, and Zhou Rongjun and Li Bing, both in suits, got out of the car with three young men.

"Zhou Rongjun is here."

"Isn't that Li Baoliang's son next to him?"

"Yeah, I can tell at first glance that he's really handsome."

"Nonsense, sons take after their mothers, daughters after their fathers. Li Baoliang's wife looks like a celebrity, so how could his son be ugly?"

As soon as they saw Zhou Rongjun and Li Bing, everyone started talking.

Amidst everyone's discussion, Zhou Rongjun, with a hint of arrogance on his face, walked into the Internet cafe with Li Bing and others.

"Boss Zhou, you're the last one to appear, haha."

"Hello, Boss Zhou."

A group of Internet cafe owners immediately greeted him. Feiyang Internet Cafe is the largest Internet cafe in the central district of Jingzhou City, and Zhou Rongjun is very famous in the industry.

Zhou Rongjun smiled and nodded at them, saying, "Not bad, your teams have all qualified."

"We barely made it through, it was all luck. We can't compare to Boss Zhou. With both teams making it through, the championship is a sure thing this time."

"I heard that Boss Zhou paid a lot of money to hire some super experts from other places. Are they the guys behind?"

Several Internet cafe owners who were familiar with Zhou Rongjun started to get close to him.

Zhou Rongjun smiled and said, "I can't say for sure about the championship, but runner-up shouldn't be a problem."

"You're too modest. Boss Zhou's biggest shortcoming is his modesty."

"Yes, people with strength are humble." There was an endless stream of compliments from the surroundings.

For businessmen like them, flattery is free. Of course they'll flatter whenever they can. As for face... if you want face, why the hell are you in business? Go get a civil service degree.

Cheng Yi and Zhao Gang sat in the reception room on the first floor, watching with great interest.

Zhao Gang laughed and said, "It's really interesting. It's like watching a miniature version of Jianghu Fengyunlu."

"It will be more interesting after the competition starts." Cheng Yi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Zhao Gang.

The two were sipping tea when a Toyota Camry stopped in an open space not far from the Internet cafe. The door opened and four girls got out.

The angle at which Cheng Yi and Zhao Gang were standing allowed them to see the parking space diagonally.

Seeing the four girls getting off the bus, Cheng Yi was stunned and said, "She's participating in the competition too?"

Zhao Gang was surprised and asked, "Why? You know her?"

"I'm not familiar with her. I rented a shop from her." Cheng Yi smiled.

Zhao Gang sighed, "Her name is Su Duo, and her father is the only individual shareholder of the Handong Hotel."

"Handong Hotel?" Cheng Yi was shocked when he heard that.

Handong Hotel is the most famous hotel in Handong Province, without a doubt. Whether it is a major conference in the province or city or an annual meeting of a famous company, Handong Hotel is almost the first choice.

Until 2024, the Handong Hotel had not undergone star certification, but in the eyes of everyone in Handong Province, the Handong Hotel was the top hotel. Star-rated hotels like the Sheraton Hotel could not compare with the Handong Hotel in terms of influence.

"But I heard that this girl is very troublesome and has done many outrageous things." Zhao Gang smiled bitterly and said, "You'd better not mess with her."

"Am I crazy? Why would I mess with her? Do I look like the kind of person who would cause trouble?" Cheng Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Is she married?"

"Marry? Haha." Zhao Gang lowered his voice and said, "I heard that she is a lesbian."

"Shit, is this true?" Cheng Yi's eyes flashed with gossip.

What media people love most is gossip.

"I heard it from someone," Zhao Gang said seriously. "Last year, she graduated from the University of Hong Kong, and her family arranged a blind date for her. The man she was dating was the son of a wealthy family. Guess what happened?"

"What else can happen? At most we'll just break up." Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Hey, that would be great." Zhao Gang said, "Let me be clear, I just heard it."

"I heard that the young man had a girlfriend at the time, but he met Su Duo just to save his family's reputation. He never expected that Su Duo would steal his girlfriend away. This happened last year, and it was a hot topic in their circle."

Looking at Zhao Gang's gossipy look, Cheng Yi really wanted to suggest that he become an entertainment reporter.

What's the connection? It sounds like a fabrication.

As he was speaking, Su Duo walked in with three girls.

Seeing that there were female players, the Internet cafe owners all looked at them in confusion.

Su Duo chewed bubble gum, looking nonchalant. She glanced at the group of internet cafe owners smoking, a flicker of disgust in her eyes, and couldn't help shouting, "When is the lottery? Is there anyone alive... Oh my god."

Before Su Duo could finish her words, she saw Zhenzhen wearing a maid outfit.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked over in a few steps and said, "Little sister, where did you buy this dress?"

Su Duo's behavior scared Zhenzhen. If Su Duo was not also a girl, she would have thought she had met a hooligan.

Zhenzhen paused for a moment and said, "This is our work uniform."

"Work clothes? Are they real?" Su Duo raised her hand and touched Zhenzhen's chest, saying, "They even come with bra pads?"

"Ah, you, what are you doing?" Zhenzhen, who was attacked on the chest, was so scared that she took two steps back.

Su Duo laughed in a frivolous way and said, "I am also a woman, why are you reacting so strongly? I just want to see the material of your clothes. If you feel that you have suffered a loss, I will let you touch it back. Come on."

After Su Duo finished speaking, he thrust his chest forward.

"..." In the member reception room, Cheng Yi was completely numb.

Isn't this a real female hooligan? It seems that when I met her in the store, she was still very restrained.

Zhao Gang looked at Cheng Yi with a smug look, as if to say: See, I didn't lie to you, did I?
