Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother

Chapter 49: 043 Envious Gu Rao!_2
 

“`

“The best internet cafes can earn over a hundred thousand a month.”

“Actually, I used to run an internet cafe in a rather remote location.”

“That place was just newly planned as an Economic Development Zone, basically desolate.”

“Still, I managed to get the internet cafe up and running.”

“I could make about twenty thousand a month.”

His words, spoken and unspoken, were all about showcasing his earning potential.

Unfortunately, it was of little use to Rao Shi Yun; her attention was all on how to help this kid from her family.”

“Brother Wang, you’d better just tell us how to help Guai Guai’s internet cafe get started.”

Gu Wanzhou urged as well.

Wang Shengli originally wanted to posture a bit to show off his financial strength.

But under the urging of Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun,

he had no choice but to talk business.

“Young man, you better remember what your uncle is about to tell you.”

“If your internet cafe wants to come back from the dead, you can only rely on Marketing.”

“Uncle knows a bit about this stuff.”

“If you listen completely to what your uncle says, there’s this slim chance.”

Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun listened with some confusion.

Li Zhiyan continued, “What you’re talking about is Marketing, market marketing, right?”

Rao Shi Yun and Gu Wanzhou involuntarily turned towards Li Zhiyan.

This kid knows this too?

Gu Wanzhou remembered when Li Zhiyan had talked about the subprime crisis.

He’s really knowledgeable!

“Xiao Yan, market marketing means advertising, right?”

“Roughly speaking, marketing requires professionals who know how to strategize, such talent must possess the ability to explore how businesses can meet market demand, seeking ways to manage and innovate business models and other market principles, with the ultimate goal of satisfying customer needs and adapting to the modern market economy.”

“I think, Uncle probably wants to talk to me about this.”

Amazement flickered in the beautiful eyes of Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun.

Li Zhiyan really knows everything!

Wang Shengli subtly felt something was amiss.

“Yes, that’s it.”

“You better listen closely to what uncle is about to tell you next.”

Next, Wang Shengli began to offer Li Zhiyan advice and strategies.

And after a few drinks, an emboldened Wang Shengli started to spout nonsense, still trying to demonstrate his wit and financial acumen.

Such as hiring several women in ultra-short skirts to attract customers.

Listening to Wang Shengli’s words, Rao Shi Yun’s heart sank.

Hiring beauties, given the size of Brotherhood Internet Cafe, it simply couldn’t afford the labor costs.

Besides, she noticed that Brotherhood Internet Cafe already had two internet supervisors and a store manager.

Li Zhiyan was likely already losing money every month.

Her disdain for Wang Shengli was now maxed out; it seemed that Xiao Yan’s internet cafe really had no chance to revive.

The remote location coupled with poor computers were enough to seal its fate.

Feeling a measure of pity, she held Li Zhiyan’s hand under the table and gently comforted him; Rao Shi Yun found it very distressing.

A slippery sensation came through; Li Zhiyan once again thought of seeking Auntie Rao’s tongue.

But he knew it was not possible anymore.

Gu Wanzhou also noticed that under the table, Rao Shi Yun held Li Zhiyan’s hand.

Frustrated, she reached for Li Zhiyan’s other hand.

Thus, the hands of Li Zhiyan were monopolized by two stunningly beautiful mature women.

Li Zhiyan sensed an inexplicable tension in the air.

Both women had significant reservations about letting him take the lead.

Yet, they were both jealously competing on impulse.

What on earth had happened recently?

Li Zhiyan didn’t know that it was all because of Li Meifeng constantly stirring things up with her provocative talk, which made the women feel sour whenever they saw the other get close to Li Zhiyan.

The following time, Wang Shengli kept offering suggestions on how to revive the internet cafe, and Zhang Hongbin also thought he had some good ideas; the two men chattered away for a solid hour.

Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan had been fondling the hands of the two aunties under the table for an hour.

…

In the afternoon, when the group returned to Brotherhood Internet Cafe, it was already past one o’clock.

At this point, Wang Shengli felt very good about himself and continued to expound on how to refurbish the internet cafe.

Rao Shi Yun couldn’t be bothered to listen to Wang Shengli’s drivel anymore and whispered, “Xiao Yan, let Auntie invest in your internet cafe. If it makes money, just give Auntie a share, I still have some money on hand.”

She wanted to relieve some of Li Zhiyan’s pressure.

If it lost money, she’d consider it her own loss; who made her fond of the kid?

If only he would agree to be her godson; then she wouldn’t have all these inexplicable entanglements.

What a pity…

“`

Gu Wanzhou was also unwilling to show weakness. Her heart ached for Li Zhiyan, knowing that his internet cafe was doomed to lose money. She shouldn’t have believed his words back then and should have resolutely stopped him from buying this internet cafe!

“Xiao Yan, Auntie also wants to buy a share.”

The war between the two women was silent and breathless, but they had already begun to compete in the shadows.

At that moment, dozens of kids started streaming into the cafe one after another.

Li Zhiyan knew that the system’s marketing had started to take effect.

The business of the internet cafe had exploded!

“Attendant, a machine for ten yuan!”

“I want to reserve a machine for the whole afternoon!”

“Open a twenty yuan machine!”

“Three bottles of Coke, attendant!”

The previously quiet internet cafe became incredibly lively in an instant.

And people kept rushing in from afar!

This bustling scene left Li Shiyu somewhat dumbfounded.

Brother Yan is awesome! He said business would pick up, and suddenly so many people came!

The attendants, who had nothing to do, suddenly found themselves in a flurry of activity.

As each customer got on a machine, the noise level in the cafe grew louder and more chaotic.

Li Zhiyan really liked this atmosphere; it was full of youthful energy.

“How is this possible…”

Li Meifeng was truly taken aback as she watched more and more people pour in. She racked her brains but couldn’t figure out

how Li Zhiyan had managed to turn around an internet cafe that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

And in the following fifteen minutes,

the cafe turned into a complete madhouse!

The first floor was so packed it couldn’t fit any more people.

The remaining customers had no choice but to go upstairs.

Zhang Hongbin inwardly cursed, realizing this wasn’t good. He never expected this weirdo to be able to revive even such an internet cafe.

Gu Wanzhou wouldn’t be impressed by this and then lie there pregnant with his child.

He had hoped to use this opportunity to gain a favorable impression from Gu Wanzhou.

He wanted a chance to sleep with such a prime mature woman, but now he had not only failed to impress, he had become a clown.

But now…

At the age of 18, he really could have made Gu Wanzhou pregnant six or seven times in one night.

Wang Shengli’s face grew hot with embarrassment, wishing he could flee the scene immediately.

All the strategizing from the past hour had turned into a joke!

The key was that the kid had always just smiled and agreed with him. If he’d known he was this capable, he wouldn’t have made a fool of himself.

…

“Xiao Yan, what’s going on? Why are there so many people?”

Surprise and disbelief filled Gu Wanzhou’s beautiful eyes.

This internet cafe was destined to fail on every level.

But Li Zhiyan had managed to turn it around!

She simply couldn’t understand how he did it in her heart.

At that moment, Li Zhiyan also started to explain earnestly.

This task was related to his twenty thousand cash bonus, so he couldn’t be careless. Anyway, he just needed to follow the system’s prompts to speak, and the twenty thousand yuan might as well be free money.

“Aunt Gu.”

“I rewrote the network management system.”

“I’ve added a lot of features, such as a personal disk, account memory, and game loading optimization, among others.”

Gu Wanzhou’s heart was filled with astonishment and delight at the same time. Li Zhiyan really had so much talent.

The heavy stone in Rao Shi Yun’s heart finally settled.

“Xiao Yan, just writing a program can’t bring in so many people all at once.”

Rao Shi Yun, recalling that Li Zhiyan could also program and speak French, couldn’t help but feel immense admiration.

“Yes, Aunt Gu, I’ve been preparing for this for the past few days.”

“Given its remote location, we could only rely on marketing and word of mouth.”

“For this, I designed a special recharge system.”

“Specifically to increase customer loyalty.”

“And I used dispersed advertising to spread the word among nearby target customers.”

“It spread from one communication network to another.”

“From points to lines, from lines to surfaces, creating an information cocoon around the Brotherhood Internet Cafe.”

Rao Shi Yun asked curiously, “Xiao Yan, what does ‘information cocoon’ mean?”

She had never heard of this concept before!

This kid really knew everything!

Gu Wanzhou was incredibly unsettled inside. Li Zhiyan could even design the internet cafe system himself!

Li Zhiyan continued to explain: “Information cocoon is a concept proposed four years ago by American scholar Cass Sunstein.”
