Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 30 You are so unkind
As a leader among cultural figures, Shen Dongxing was embarrassed to ask Cheng Yi about the leasing issue for the second time.

Cheng Yi continued, "I want to rent it myself. What's the price range for this shop?"

Shen Dongxing hesitated for a moment and said, "The rent here is 1 cent. If you really want to rent it, 8 cents is fine."

"That's right..." Shen Dongxing took a deep breath and said, "I won't hide it from you. For some reason, my shop can't survive. In the past few years, more than a dozen businesses have closed down, so no one has been interested in it for more than a year."

Shen Dongxing was very frank. Cheng Yi guessed that the reason why no one rented this shop when he was in school was probably due to Shen Dongxing's frankness.

Cheng Yi asked curiously, "Is this shop your property?"

Shen Dongxing sighed, "Yes, my wife bought it. When the university town was first built, she insisted that the shop on this commercial street would be profitable. I couldn't persuade her, so I sold our house in the city and threw my remaining salary and the university teacher relocation subsidy into it. I finally scraped together 600,000 yuan to buy this shop, but I never expected this to happen."

Quite miserable.

Listening to Shen Dongxing's miserable experience, Cheng Yi felt that this old man had a very difficult life.

He accepted re-employment at retirement age, which obviously means his family is struggling to make ends meet.

The most difficult thing is that even when he was unable to make ends meet, Shen Dongxing never did anything against his principles.

You know, he is the director of the student affairs office of Handong University.

The power of the Student Affairs Office during this period was terrifyingly great.

From admissions to employment to faculty and staff management, student financial aid, university military training, etc., all fall under the jurisdiction of the Student Affairs Office.

Employment alone is an extremely terrifying resource.

Shen Dongxing has been the director of the Student Affairs Office at Handong University for more than ten years. The students who graduated from his department are now employed in almost all walks of life and various ministries.

With just one word from him, it would be easy to rent out the shop, or even sell it at ten times the price.

But Cheng Yi didn't know that the shop belonged to Shen Dongxing until he graduated from university.

"Can I go in and take a look?" Cheng Yi asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Dongxing immediately took out the key and opened the shop door.

The shop has been unused for over a year and has accumulated a lot of dust. The layout of the shop is very reasonable and has all the necessary fire escape routes.

Shen Dongxing took Cheng Yi to look around the first to fourth floors and asked, "What kind of business are you planning to start?"

"I want to open an Internet cafe." Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"Internet cafe?" Shen Dongxing thought for a moment and advised, "Although I really want to rent out the shop, I still want to advise you that there are already three Internet cafes on this commercial street, and they don't seem to be doing very well. You can go to those Internet cafes first and take a look. Who knows, they might change your mind."

Looking at this funny old man, Cheng Yi almost laughed out loud.

At the rate he continues to act, it will be difficult for him to rent out the shop during his lifetime.

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "No need to go and see. I just opened an internet cafe for fun and didn't expect it to be very popular."

"You don't look very old, you should still be studying, right? Which university are you from?" Shen Dongxing subconsciously regarded Cheng Yi as a rich second-generation who had money but nowhere to spend it.

Cheng Yi said honestly: "I should be considered as a Handong University."

"Are you from Handong University?" Shen Dongxing looked at Cheng Yi with a puzzled look.

He can basically recognize the faces of all the students at Handong University.

But he had never met Cheng Yi. Cheng Yi said: "I just got the admission letter and haven't registered yet."

"Oh, I see." When Shen Dongxing heard that Cheng Yi was a freshman at Handong University, he didn't want to rent out the shop anymore.

If people knew that he was making money from students, it would not look good if it got out.

He was about to refuse when he heard Cheng Yi say, "Uncle, I'll rent your shop for 80%."

"Ah?" Shen Dongxing didn't expect Cheng Yi to be so straightforward. For a moment, he didn't know whether to agree or refuse.

Cheng Yi guessed what Shen Dongxing was thinking, so he took out 800 yuan and stuffed it into Shen Dongxing's hand, saying with a smile, "This is the deposit. I'll pay the rest after you finish drafting the contract."

After saying that, Cheng Yi called Du Yusheng and left the shop together.

After a stroll around the commercial street, just as Shen Dongxing said, the business of several Internet cafes in the commercial street is terribly deserted. The advertisement paper posted at the door clearly states 1.5 yuan per hour and yuan for an all-night stay.

This price is already very low.

It is precisely because of the low prices that the Internet cafes can only have an occupancy rate of 20 to 30 percent. These are probably the cash-strapped people who come from dozens of miles away just for the prices.

After strolling around the commercial street for a while, Cheng Yi took out his cell phone and dialed the pager number, first sending a call back message to Zhang Lingyu's pager.

After sending the message, Cheng Yi hailed a tricycle and returned to the Science and Technology Building with Du Yusheng.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the Science and Technology Building, Zhang Lingyu called back.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Zhang Lingyu's clear voice came from the other end of the phone.

Cheng Yi said directly: "I plan to open an Internet cafe in the provincial capital. Come and help me."

"Ah? So sudden?" Zhang Lingyu was obviously a little surprised. She said, "This internet cafe is a huge investment. The money our boss gave you shouldn't be enough, right?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Come and be my network administrator. I will give you 600 yuan a month." Cheng Yi said.

"600? You're not kidding me, are you?" Zhang Lingyu said jokingly, "Then I'm going to resign, right?"

"Yeah." Cheng Yi said: "I won't talk to you anymore, the roaming fee is too expensive."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi was about to speak when Du Yusheng looked down at his watch and shouted, "Boss, I'm going back to the classroom first. I can't be late. I have to leave a good impression on the teacher."

After saying that, Du Yusheng turned around anxiously and ran into the elevator.

Cheng Yi returned to the computer classroom. He looked around but did not see Lin Qingyin.

His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: Oh no, could this girl have been scared away by me?

"Brother, this way." Seeing Cheng Yi walk into the classroom, Shi Lei immediately waved to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi sat next to Shi Lei and asked, "Lin Qingyin didn't come to class?"

Shi Lei said casually, "I advise you not to worry about Lin. She was just called out by a young man with an extraordinary temperament. That young man looks rich or noble. He is probably Lin's boyfriend."

"What?" Cheng Yi slammed the table and jumped up.

Wow, I just went to Handong University Town and my house was robbed?
"Where did they go?" Cheng Yi asked anxiously.

Shi Lei looked at Cheng Yi with disdain and said, "Brother, this is unnecessary, right? Although classmate Lin is very beautiful, she is already taken. It's not very kind of you to do this."
