Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 252 This World is Crazy (Part )
Cheng Yi was also silently praying for Huang Wenrong in his heart.

Helping Huang Wenrong find his daughter was his dream in his previous life and also his dream in this life.

In his previous life, Huang Wenrong had been searching for his daughter for more than 20 years. Finding his daughter was the hope that kept him alive. For him, no news about his daughter meant good news.

But now?

When the illegal Internet cafes spread all over the country, if Huang Wenrong found a clue, if his daughter was no longer alive, given Huang Wenrong's personality, he would definitely not be able to survive alone.

Cheng Yi shook his head, dispelling all the unlucky thoughts in his mind.

He handed the newspaper to Du Yusheng and Zhang Lingyu and said, "I have a suggestion for you. You two should develop the habit of reading newspapers. Policies are changing so frequently these days, and many business opportunities and information are reflected in the news broadcasts and newspapers."

Du Yusheng and Zhang Lingyu glanced at the location of Cheng Yi's finger. Du Yusheng asked in surprise, "Westward Journey Online has entered a free public beta? What kind of game is this?"

Zhang Lingyu was also a little surprised and said, "Look at the introduction at the bottom. This is invested by Tianqin Group."

"Oh my god, this Tianqin Group is too rich, isn't it?" Du Yusheng murmured, "Their offensive is wave after wave."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "That's why I asked you to read the newspaper. If you don't read the newspaper, do you know these things? From now on, your daily task is to read the newspaper first, one morning paper and one evening paper. After reading the newspaper, you can do other things."

"Yes." Du Yusheng and Zhang Lingyu responded immediately.

Du Yusheng said, "Boss, if we don't have Westward Journey Online, don't we have any advantages at all?"

"Don't underestimate yourself." Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Not all games can reach the level of legend."

Cheng Yi was just about to teach Du Yusheng and Zhang Lingyu some business tips when his cell phone rang urgently.

The call was from Chen Yafang.

"Minister Chen, what advice do you have?" Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Hurry, check the news, it will be announced soon." Chen Yafang said excitedly.

"News?" Cheng Yiteng stood up and rushed to the VIP room. He quickly turned on the LCD TV in the VIP room and jumped to channel one.

On TV, the host announced in a resounding voice, "Today, the National Information Industry Association officially promulgated the 'Implementation Plan for Ensuring the Healthy and Stable Development of the Internet Cafe Industry.' This plan focuses on three key areas: development and innovation, standards and norms, and chain management. This marks the official entry of the once dirty, chaotic, and poorly maintained internet cafe industry into a new phase..."

"You must seize this opportunity!" At this time, Chen Zhi also received a call from Zhao Wenxia. Zhao Wenxia said excitedly, "I just got news from Yanjing. The National Information Industry Association is about to issue three chain internet cafe licenses. Once you get the licenses, you only need to report to open internet cafes nationwide. This is absolutely great news for your Tianqin Group."

"Three? I'm afraid we won't get them." Chen Zhi said, "They'll probably be gone before we even leave Yanjing City."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic. This chain internet cafe license is a hot potato. I'm afraid not many companies dare to get involved in this." Zhao Wenxia said: "If you plan to apply, send me some information and I'll ask a friend to submit it for you. Although I can't help you deal with Cheng Yi, I can still help to the best of my ability."

"it is good."

Cheng Yi had already prepared very complete application materials for the chain Internet cafe license. He combined the electronic reading room and the university computer room to create a decent image for a new Internet cafe.

He carefully checked the application materials several times and sent it to the email address provided on the official website of the National Information Industry Association.

This time, only three companies are being selected to serve as pilot units for chain internet cafe licenses. The entire process from registration to the announcement of results will only take half a month.

In the past half month, they have to complete two major tasks: screening the list and conducting visits and inspections. From a time perspective, it is already very tight.

The reason why the time is so tight is mainly because the rectification of the Internet cafe industry is not a big deal, and they don’t take it too seriously, so they choose to cut the Gordian knot and just tinker with a few companies that they like and let them give it a try.

There are two application thresholds: one is a technology company with a registered capital of 5000 million, and the other is an enterprise included in the government's key support list.

Momo Group has met both of these standards.

In the few days after submitting the report, Cheng Yi had no mood to do anything. This feeling was just like when he first submitted his resume.

A little bit worried about gains and losses.

On the fifth day, a strange phone call came in: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Cheng Yi?"

"Yes!" Cheng Yi responded immediately.

"I'm from the Fifth Group of the Internet Cafe Research Office of the National Information Industry Association. We've reviewed and approved your company's materials, and it's on our top ten shortlist. We're planning to conduct an on-site investigation tomorrow. Is that convenient for you?"

"convenient."

"Well, there's another group in Jingzhou City that passed the pre-selection, called the Tianqin Group. Do you know it?"

"know."

"Okay, we will conduct a field investigation on your two companies together tomorrow." After saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

finally come!

Cheng Yi suddenly became excited.

At the same time, Chen Zhi also received the same call.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Cheng Yi drove to the international airport.

As soon as he walked into Gate 3 of the domestic arrivals station, he saw a familiar figure.

Chen Zhi.

Seeing Cheng Yi, Chen Zhi was very enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Boss Cheng, you are here to greet the research team as well, right?"

"Yes, our chairman has become autistic because of your suppression. He feels ashamed to meet you, so he had to send me." Cheng Yi smiled embarrassedly.

Chen Zhi's heart moved, and he said, "Boss Cheng, although our first fight was a little unpleasant, and you also gave me a lot of trouble, in my eyes, you are one of the few people I can admire."

Chen Zhi's tone was very sincere, and it didn't sound like he was just being polite.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm a little flattered by what you said."

Chen Zhi laughed and said, "I'm just speaking from my heart. If we weren't in different camps, I really want to make friends with you."

Chen Zhi changed the subject and said, "Boss Cheng, now that our two companies have reached this point, we must be both seriously injured. We're fine, with many industries supporting us. But if your Momo Internet Cafe loses its income, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive, right?" Cheng Yi understood what Chen Zhi meant and said, "Boss Chen, I want to ask our chairman if he has any plans to transfer the group, right?"

"It's so comfortable to communicate with a smart person like Boss Cheng." Chen Zhi smiled and said, "The battle between our two companies has basically come to an end. Instead of fighting to the death with us, why don't you sit down and talk about this matter."

"How do you want to talk?" Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Want to eat us?"

Chen Zhi said, "We can invest in your group. I'm willing to pay 60 million yuan for % of your shares. You can choose to cash out and leave, or you can stay and run the group. I promise not to interfere."

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I will definitely convey your thoughts to our chairman."

"Then thank you for your concern, Boss Cheng. If we could really get together, I would definitely become your sworn brother!" Chen Zhi laughed heartily. "I still firmly believe that if the two of us join forces, no one in the Chinese internet cafe industry would be a match for us."

Cheng Yi had a polite smile on his face and didn't say anything else.

At present, the Internet cafe industry in Jingzhou City has once again been dominated by Tianqin Internet Cafe. Tianqin Internet Cafe's strategy of mutual destruction would be a headache for anyone, especially someone like Chen Zhi, who has three cities providing financial support behind him. Even if Jingzhou City loses money for a year, Chen Zhi can probably afford it.

But these are not problems. Cheng Yi already has a plan in mind. As long as he successfully obtains the license for the Internet cafe chain, he will directly steal from Chen Zhi's house.

The city with the highest revenue from Tianqin Internet Cafes is Yantai City, followed by Lianyun City, and finally Huaiyang City.

The Internet cafes in these three cities are making a lot of money. Each city has tens of thousands of computers, almost all of which are full, and the Internet access fee is still two yuan per hour!
The revenue from these tens of thousands of computers must be paid as a 30% service fee to Tianqin Internet Cafe every month.

This means that each city has to pay more than 10 million every month!
If you want to destroy the Tianqin Internet cafe system in Handong Province, you must cut off its food supply and make it unable to take care of itself.

As he was speaking, Chen Wenyu, president of the Jingzhou Information Industry Association, walked in quickly. Seeing Cheng Yi and Chen Zhi, Chen Wenyu was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Oh, President Cheng, President Chen, you two are here too."

"Hello, President Chen." Cheng Yi and Chen Zhi responded quickly.

Chen Wenyu walked over and shook hands with the two men, saying with emotion, "You two are both rising stars in the business world of Jingzhou City. The higher-ups have chosen your two companies this time. They truly have a keen eye for talent."

"President Chen, you're too kind." Cheng Yi said modestly, "A worker like me can't compare with Mr. Chen."

"No, no, Boss Cheng's vision and planning ability are far beyond my reach." Chen Zhi also said modestly.

The two were being modest when Chen Wenyu's expression suddenly changed. He said, "Here they are. That's Team Leader Wang."

Following Chen Wenyu's gaze, a middle-aged man in a neat suit, accompanied by a man and a woman, came into the sight of Cheng Yi and Chen Zhi.

Wang Que, deputy director of the Secretariat of the National Information Industry Association, is half a level lower than Chen Wenyu in terms of rank, but they are incomparable in terms of power.

Chen Wenyu quickly walked over and said with a smile, "Team Leader Wang, welcome, welcome."

Wang Que forced a smile from his serious expression. He shook hands with Chen Wenyu and said, "President Chen, right?"

"Yes." Chen Wenyu was very humble, as if he was accepting instruction.

Wang Que said, "I'm sorry to ask you to come along. The main reason is that there are two candidate companies shortlisted in Jingzhou City this time, so I can only ask you to come and help with the service."

"Team Leader Wang, you're too polite." Chen Wenyu said with a smile, "Even if none of our companies were shortlisted, I would still come to greet you when you come to Jingzhou City."

Wang Que didn't seem to like compliments. He nodded indifferently, looked at Cheng Yi and Chen Zhi, and said, "Who of you is the head of Tianqin Group?"

"Yes." Chen Zhi quickly responded, ran over to shake hands with Wang Que, and said with a smile: "Team Leader Wang, I am the president of Tianqin Group, my name is Chen Zhi."

"Yeah." Wang Que looked at Cheng Yi again and asked, "You are the person in charge of Momo Group, right?"

"Yes, hello, Team Leader Wang." Cheng Yi introduced himself simply: "My name is Cheng Yi."

Wang Que looked down at the time and said, "It's only half past nine now. Let's go to Momo Group first, and then go to Tianqin Group in the afternoon."

Chen Wenyu smiled and said, "Team Leader Wang, actually the internet cafe of Tianqin Group and the internet cafe of Momo Group are next to each other. We can watch it together."

"Oh? Together?" Wang Que asked in surprise, "Could it be that their two families are in a cooperative relationship?"

Chen Wenyu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It can be considered a competitive relationship."

Wang Que was slightly surprised. He looked at Cheng Yi and Chen Zhi and said, "I really didn't realize that you two don't look like competitors, but more like partners."

Cheng Yi and Chen Zhi both laughed.

Soon, Wang Que got on Chen Wenyu's car and rushed to the largest street in Jingzhou City, Zhushan District Pedestrian Street.

In the pedestrian street of Zhushan District, there are two top-notch branches of Momo Internet Cafe and Tianqin Internet Cafe.

The number of computers in these two branches has reached 600, which is considered the main battlefield for the battle between the two major groups.

Since they have accepted the survey, they naturally have to show their best side.

Soon, they arrived at the parking area of ​​Zhushan District Pedestrian Street.

After parking the car, Chen Wenyu smiled and said, "Team Leader Wang, look over there. On the left is the Momo Group's business, and on the right is the Tianqin Group's business."

"Hmm..." Wang Que nodded slowly, looking at the title of 'Momo Electronic Reading Room' with some curiosity, and asked, "Why is Momo Group's business called an electronic reading room?"

Cheng Yi quickly introduced: "Team Leader Wang, we don't just want to run an internet cafe, we want to build a culture. It's an inevitable trend for all people to embrace the internet, so we..."

Cheng Yi gave a eloquent introduction as they walked, and it was not until Wang Que walked into Momo Internet Cafe that he explained the current concept and layout of Momo Internet Cafe clearly.

Wang Que looked around the deserted internet cafe with only a few dozen people in front of him and said, "Why is your business so bad?"

"Team Leader Wang, this electronic reading room is actually our group's bold attempt at a new concept internet cafe. Making money is secondary. We mainly want to use this method to explore the future of internet cafes, such as how to prevent minors from accessing the internet and how to prevent young people from becoming addicted to online games..."

Hearing Cheng Yi babble all kinds of insincere words, Chen Zhi beside him couldn't help but laugh out loud.

A guy who runs an internet cafe actually talked about the future of internet cafes?
A person who runs an online game is actually criticizing online games?

Haha... This world is so crazy that even jackals can talk about the safety of little white rabbits.
