Pei Qian saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
It doesn’t matter if you make a little money at Moyu Internet Cafe.
The key point is that this small amount of money is likely to make all Pei Qian’s hard work in this settlement cycle go to waste!
This cycle lasted only two months, and now one month has passed.
Pei Qian has already roughly estimated the profits and losses. If the surprise expenditure is included, he can just reach a loss of hundreds of thousands at the time of settlement.
Among them, all Moyu Internet cafes together lost more than one million, which is a very important part!
If Moyu Internet Cafe really makes money, or just offsets the costs, it will leave Pei Qian with more than one million extra funds at the time of settlement, which he will not have time to spend!
This million-plus may not seem like much, but it is very likely to turn a good loss into a profit in an instant. This is the most terrible thing.
Wouldn’t it be a failure and all the other projects would be in vain?
Pei Qian’s original intention was to create a hodgepodge. The name of the store was "Moyu Internet Cafe". The bar area, library area, small screening room, catering, etc. were all built around the functions of the Internet cafe. .
In the final analysis, it is to turn Moyu Internet Cafe into an Internet cafe that does not make money.
But I never expected that the bar area would now become the center of attention because a resident singer became famous!
In this way, Moyu Internet Cafe becomes Moyu Bar. How can this be done?
This is completely contrary to Pei Qian’s original purpose!
What to do?
Remove the tables and chairs outside the Internet cafe?
No more drinks commission?
Or simply don’t have resident singers in the future?
It’s not very good, and the name is not justified.
Pei Qian asked Ma Yang to remove the display screen and reduce the number of seats outside, which barely made sense. After all, this was to restore the strong style of Moyu Internet Cafe.
But taking it further is not feasible.
Remove the tables and chairs completely and let the customers outside sit where?
A good commission on drinks is not only beneficial to the revenue of Internet cafes, but also helpful in stimulating the enthusiasm of resident singers. What reason is given to cancel it completely?
These methods are too blunt and can easily arouse suspicion and result in system warnings.
What’s more, these are just appearances.
To change all this, the key is to pull out all the stops!
So what if we remove the tables and chairs outside and cancel the commission on drinks?
This group of people came to see Chen Lei!
There is no place to sit, so they will stand and listen to the music. By then, the problem will still not be solved.
So, to solve it, the key is to solve Chen Lei!
"I wonder if this young man has any dreams that I can help fulfill?"
...
At 10 o'clock, the performance ended.
Chen Lei bowed and left the stage, and many audience members applauded and cheered.
Ma Yang, Zhang Yuan and the waiters began to see off the guests.
Pei Qian directly pulled Chen Lei to a secluded corner of the Internet cafe and sat down.
Chen Lei had never met Pei Qian. After hearing him introduce himself, he immediately knew that this was the "Mr. Pei" that Ma Yang often mentioned, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Pei Qian casually asked a few questions about Chen Lei and learned that he had not gone to school since graduating from high school. He was very introverted and could even be said to be a bit autistic.
Chen Lei plays music every day at home. He happened to pass by Moyu Internet Cafe and heard someone singing, so he plucked up the courage to apply for the position of resident singer.
His family members were very happy to know that he had found a job, and told him to work hard and get along well with his colleagues.
"You have been in Jingzhou since you were a child, don't you want to see the outside world?"
"If you really want to pursue your music dream, I think you should go to the Magic City , Go to the Imperial Capital, that’s where your dreams can come true.”
Pei Qian’s words were full of confusion.
Chen Lei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why don't you want to? In my dreams, I want to visit places like the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital!"
"I used to tell others I said that I would become a singer, but no one believed it. I knew that Jingzhou was too small to achieve this goal."
"But the imperial capital and the magical capital are too far away from home. , my parents will not agree, and I heard that the cost of living in the Magic City and the Imperial City is too high, I am afraid I will starve to death."
Pei Qian was secretly happy.
Since you have a dream, it’s easy to talk about it!
What Mr. Pei is best at is helping others realize their dreams!
Pei Qian smiled and shook his head: "You underestimate yourself."
"You don't even know how good you are at singing! At your level, when you open your voice, it's amazing Weapons of mass destruction, do you know how many little girls are willing to get pregnant for your ears?"
"So, don't belittle yourself, you will have a better future in a big city. Go to Jingzhou and show your classmates and friends who used to look down on you, so that they can’t even envy you!”
Pei Qian’s words were effective because he saw Chen Lei! His eyes sparkled.
A "freak" with an introverted personality, not particularly outstanding appearance, who dropped out of high school and stayed at home, has always been under pressure from all aspects.
Whether it is parents, classmates, or parents of classmates, they probably often regard Chen Lei as a negative example.
So what if the singing sounds good? In a second-tier city like Jingzhou, there is no good platform for him to show off.
Chen Lei must be a person who is very eager to be recognized.
So, Chen Lei was obviously moved when he heard the scene described by Pei Qian.
He has long wanted to goCheck out the big cities and try your luck in a wider world. I hope my talents can be recognized by more people.
Looking at what Mr. Pei means now, is he planning to provide some material help?
The only thing Chen Lei hesitates about now is money.
There are very high commissions at the Internet cafe, and there are many fans who like him. This is Chen Lei's comfort zone, and he doesn't want to move.
After arriving in the Imperial Capital and Magic City, not to mention starting from scratch in a strange environment, Chen Lei couldn't afford the accommodation and living expenses.
After all, when he gets there, he has no income.
So Pei Qian must solve this worry for Chen Lei before he can leave with peace of mind.
Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "If you want to go to a big city like Shanghai and continue to pursue your music dream, I can help you realize your dream."
"Tengda Our subsidiary Feihuang Studio is currently in Shanghai. I can transfer you to Feihuang Studio, and I will just ask them to arrange room and board for one more person. You can rest assured that you will only have a temporary job there. How do you feel about pursuing your musical dream?”
On one side is the happy life in front of you, on the other side is poetry and the distance.
Chen Lei didn't hesitate much: "Mr. Pei, I...I do!"
...
The next day.
Evening.
There were still many spectators, but everyone noticed that Chen Lei seemed to be a little absent-minded.
"Outside the long pavilion/beside the ancient road/the green grass reaches the sky..."
"Ask you when you will be here again/don't wander when you come..."
Chen Lei was still the same as before, singing one song immediately after another, just singing silently without saying a word.
It was just the fans in the audience, but they still heard some problems in his singing.
"Strange, why do tonight's songs seem to be all about farewell?"
"Yeah, it's really sentimental..."
" I'll give you two more glasses of Northern Lights."
"Speaking of which, why is the display gone?"
"I don't know, but it's gone. It's mainly for the sake of it. I don’t support Chen Lei just to show off.”
Everyone was drinking and chatting as usual, but for some reason, they felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere today.
