Rebirth of the 80s

Chapter 64 [No.073] The Booming Computer Game Room

The ordinary middle school in Linxi City began two years ago to let students who did not study well in the third grade voluntarily divert them to various vocational high schools in the next semester. They can graduate after one year and get a junior high school diploma and a vocational high school diploma. They also help to recommend The job, but not very good, is to work as a waiter or doorman in some high-end restaurants and star hotels.

The school did this to increase the enrollment rate, which was understandable, but Xie Wenjun believed that this move would undoubtedly ruin the future of the students. Three years in vocational high school and the like are much better than students who come out in one year. Although the school does not force students to participate in diversion, once such regulations are introduced, students who are poor in learning and playful will not be able to work because of their young age. Sensible people are of course willing to accept it, and they will inevitably regret it when they really step into the society. If this is the case, the school has not fulfilled its due responsibilities to the students.

Xie Wenjun thought of the frowning faces of the college students who were busy in various talent markets in his previous life, and couldn't help worrying about Pippen's future path. Xie Wenjun asked, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"

Pippen looked sad: "I don't know, let's be a waiter too."

Xie Wenjun smiled: "What are you best at?"

Pippen pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I'm the best at playing game consoles."

"Are you interested in computers?"

"Wow, that's great, but..."

Xie Wenjun waved his hand: "Go eat first, and I'll tell you something after eating."

Xie Wenjun took Pippen to a small stall to eat some fried rice, and the two came to the "Fat Cai" computer game room on Chunyu Street. Pippen looked at the prosperous scene of the large computer game room in front of him and said with emotion: "If It would be great if I could come here as a waiter, haha."

Xie Wenjun smiled: "You can come after you finish school, this computer room is opened by my family."

"Wow! No wonder, let me just say, your family is rich and has such a big computer room." Pippen was both surprised and envious.

Why does it matter whether my family has money or not? Pippen seems to be suitable for working at Forbes. Xie Wenjun took Pippen around first and said: "If you are interested, you can use this year to learn computer science , when you graduate, I will introduce you to come here as a net...to help people deal with game problems, maintain computers and so on, okay?"

"Well, I will do it for no money," Pippen danced happily, "I am most interested in these things, and I will definitely be able to learn computers well, you believe me."

"Well, it's settled like this. Anyway, when you have learned well, you can come. If you don't learn well, there is no need to discuss it." Pippen is very smart. You can tell from playing games that Xie Wenjun wants him to learn. It is not bad to learn computer, and then come to the computer room to be a network administrator. First, it can solve Pippen’s employment problem. There are many diverted students. In the absence of manpower in this area, Pippen is a good training target. If there is a problem with the computer, it is not a problem to always point to BJ High-Tech, which hinders development.

Pippen was a little moved: "Xie Wenjun, thank you, we don't know each other very well, I don't know what to say when you help me so much."

"That's easy, learn computer well, and help me well... My family manages the computer room well. How about this, to learn computer, you have to practice on the computer. I will give you an annual card, and you can come here for free within one year. You have You can come when you have time, but you are not allowed to play games, and you can only use it to study computer knowledge.” Xie Wenjun made a weekly card, monthly card and annual card for the old players. The sales of the weekly card and monthly card are good. The annual card was the first one, and it was given away for free.

Pippen patted his chest and assured: "Okay, no problem, you won't die if you don't play the game."

Xie Wenjun nodded and said with a smile, "But today we can play, haha."

The "Fat Cai" computer room still uses manual billing. More than 300 computers are divided into more than 30 districts. Each district has a waiter. The waiter is not only responsible for serving tea and water, but also responsible for timing and collecting money. Being short of public funds by the waiter, Xie Wenjun thought about connecting to a local area network first, and then asked Mr. Xiaochun to make a billing software, but after talking with Lu Daneng, he realized that the cost of connecting more than 300 computers to a local area network is very high, and Xie Wenjun also considered it It is not worthwhile to upgrade the computer frequently, so it is not worth it, so let’s just do it first and wait until the games like Red Alert come out.

Xie Wenjun didn't find Tan Hui, so he asked the waiter to find out that he went to the bar. He said that there was an event in the bar today, and what was Tan Hui's business if there was an event in the bar? So he asked the waiter to find a machine for Pippen to play with, and sent Pippen an annual card made in the computer room to Pippen, telling Pippen to go home after playing enough, and he left first if he had something to do.

The bar is closely adjacent to the computer room. It is the first time for Xie Wenjun to go there at night since it opened. There are a few chattering people sitting in the bar in twos and threes. It's past one o'clock, and it's not golden time yet.

As soon as Xie Wenjun went in, he saw Liu Hua was there too, with his freshly shaved cropped hair flicking, playing poker with Tan Hui and Ma Dekai in the booth.

Xie Wenjun walked over with a straight face, the three of them smiled awkwardly, and Tan Hui asked, "Xiaojun, why are you here?"

"Brother Hui, you actually come here to play poker during working hours? Brother Hua, don't laugh, and you, have you settled your bill today?" Xie Wenjun sat down and asked scoldingly.

"I only came after paying the bill." Liu Hua replied seriously.

"I...I'm not here to help," Tan Hui looked at Ma Dekai and smiled, "Hehe, it was Xiao Kai who said that there are many beauties coming today, so... I also want to join in the fun."

"Hehe, Brother Hua probably came here for this." Xie Wenjun looked at Ma Dekai suspiciously, "Is there any beauty coming? What tricks are you secretly doing? Why don't I know?"

"Oh my God, why don't you know," Ma Dekai said with an aggrieved look on his face, "Didn't you ask me to advertise in the newspaper to recruit beautiful girls who can sing and dance, uh...of course there are boys who will come to our show."

"Oh, that's it." Xie Wenjun nodded.

At the beginning, the positioning of the bar was performing arts, and the stage was already done during the renovation. At the beginning, Xie Wenjun decided to try it out for a period of time to see the effect, so he was not in a hurry to find someone to perform. After this period of operation, it seems The effect was not bad, so Xie Wenjun asked Ma Dekai to recruit some talented people to perform, commonly known as "running field", and paid according to the number of performances. At this time, there were already too many "running fields" in some big city bars. Not yet.
