As the New Year approaches, Internet cafes have sprung up on the market. After the market is saturated, Internet cafe operators have to start a price war in order to compete for customers.

Zhongjing Street in Baiyun City is one of the components of Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. After Huang Dongheng learned that Li Quanwang, his nephew, had made money by investing in Internet cafes, he tried every means to borrow hundreds of thousands and opened an Internet cafe in an alley of Zhongjing Street. In total,

There are forty machines.

The reason why they originally chose to open an Internet cafe here was because it was in a downtown area, but it was also a basement alley with a lot of people coming and going, but the rent was much cheaper than a store on the first floor facing the street.

When the Internet cafe first opened, business was very good. After all, his was the only Internet cafe within a few hundred meters. The forty machines were basically not idle around the clock.

This made Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong very happy.

But the good times did not last long. They had just opened for more than a month, and an Internet cafe was opened in the store next door, with more than 50 machines.

Another half month later, an Internet cafe opened opposite, with two storefronts and seventy or eighty machines arranged neatly.

Things like electronic products are priced one day at a time. In the past, it cost Huang Dongheng and others more than 10,000 yuan to equip a computer. Now it only costs 7,000 to 8,000 yuan to equip a computer. The cost of opening an Internet cafe is one or two times cheaper than Huang Dongheng's time.

One hundred thousand.

As there are more and more Internet cafes, the price of surfing the Internet is getting lower and lower. One Internet cafe even charges an outrageous price of 20 yuan for a member to stay overnight, and directly presses his colleagues to the ground and rubs them like crazy.

On the counter, Tian Jiahong's abacus rattled loudly, and the expression on his face became increasingly gloomy.

Huang Dongheng was sitting next to him eating instant noodles.

It is now past twelve o'clock in the evening, and there are seven or eight people surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe.

"The business of the Internet cafe is getting worse and worse. Last month, the profit was only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, but this month it is only 50,000 to 60,000 yuan."

Huang Dongheng was also depressed and couldn't help but curse: "There is a computer company called Jianlai Technology that promotes Internet cafe computers everywhere. The boss is really useless. Internet cafes are everywhere, and our business is becoming more and more difficult.

That's right. This kind of person should be taken to target practice."

The reason why these newly opened Internet cafes have the confidence to engage in price wars is because Jianlai Technology's Internet cafe computers have crazy price cuts. Taking an Internet cafe with 100 machines as an example, almost every night and day, the cost of opening a store will be reduced by 10,000 yuan.

money!

At this rate of price reduction, those who open Internet cafes early feel like they are working for this key technology.

The two of them became more and more angry as they talked. Tian Jiahong said with a sad face: "At the current rate of making money, when will we be able to afford a big villa?"

Huang Dongheng was also unhappy. When he thought that the Li Quanwang family he looked down on could actually live in a big villa, his heart felt like it was being roasted by fire. The burning feeling was so uncomfortable.

Tian Jiahong said: "How have you considered the matter that I discussed with you before?"

Huang Dongheng didn't react for a while, and asked with a blank expression: "Which one?"

Tian Jiahong snorted softly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Huang Dongheng.

But then she still said: "Join the Chaoshan Capital Mutual Aid Association. If you join now, you only need to pay 100,000, and you will get 5% interest a month. After one year of joining, you can get the principal back. This is comparable to depositing money in a bank.

Much more cost-effective.”

After all, money was involved, so Huang Dongheng did not dare to agree immediately. Instead, he frowned and asked: "Is this thing reliable?"

Tian Jiahong disagreed: "What's the point? You are just a coward. Is it possible that such a big chamber of commerce just wants to defraud us of the hundred thousand yuan? Do you know what the president and vice president do? They all do it.

They run big businesses such as hotels and export trade, each with assets worth hundreds of millions."

"But this doesn't mean they are reliable. What if they work together to deceive people?"

Huang Dongheng was still undecided. After all, although he had made a lot of money by opening an Internet cafe, he was used to being poor and was afraid of being deceived and going bankrupt.

Tian Jiahong gave Huang Dongheng a hard look and cursed: "You are really worthless! If I hadn't been from Chaoshan, even if we gave money, they wouldn't have wanted it. If we continued to hesitate, when would we move into a big villa?

?”

Huang Dongheng thought of the arrogant faces of Li Quanwang's family, gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Then join the association! Money is a waste anyway, so why not give them money to make money?"

Seeing that Huang Dongheng finally figured it out, Tian Jiahong smiled and said: "That's right. Tomorrow morning you can go to the Chaoshan guild hall at the end of Chunbi Road and find Liang Shuzhen to apply for membership. She seems to be the rotating president this year.

"

"good."

The next morning, Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong arrived at the Chaoshan Guild Hall with a black briefcase containing 100,000 yuan in cash.

Liang Shuzhen is the rotating president of the Chaoshan Capital Mutual Aid Association. She heard that someone wanted to join the mutual aid association. Although the business in the hotel was very busy, she rushed to the Chaoshan Club as quickly as possible and started to contact Huang Dongheng about joining the club.

The reason why Liang Shuzhen is so active now starts from the time she lent money to Wu Qiuping.

Because Wu Qiuping's family was directly "annihilated", the money originally lent was wasted. In order to settle the accounts, those who originally advocated lending money to Wu Qiuping were all furious.

In fact, speaking of it, paying money is just a small matter. After all, there are losses and profits in business, and no one can guarantee that you will make money every time. The key is that this incident is quite bad. The Wu family was wiped out, and many people accused the mutual aid association of failing to review the matter.

Yan Yan raised the risk, so a lot of funds were redeemed, and there were a lot fewer new members. The fund pool suddenly shrank a lot, which was equivalent to shaking the foundation of the mutual aid association. This was the reason why Liang Shuzhen was anxious.

In the negotiation room, hot tea had already been brewed. As soon as Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong came in, Liang Shuzhen said to Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong with a smile: "Welcome. Ms. Tian, ​​you are from Chaoshan, right?"

"

Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong used to have very ordinary small families. Although they looked respectable as small civil servants, their lives were still rough. Later, they opened an Internet cafe and things turned around. Even so, with Liang Shuzhen's kind of business,

Compared with the big boss of the restaurant, he is still very unsatisfactory.

Therefore, Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong were flattered to see Liang Shuzhen being so polite.

"Hello, President Liang."

Tian Jiahong's tone of voice was full of flattery.

"I'm from Chaoshan. I heard that the Chaoshan Mutual Aid Association is recruiting new members recently and the policies are very good, so we wanted to come over and ask."

Liang Shuzhen took out two brochures from the drawer, presented them to the two of them, and said: "Yes, the entry threshold for our mutual aid association was very high before, which invisibly excluded many Chaoshan fellow citizens.

This is not in line with the original intention of our mutual aid association. Therefore, in order to allow more fellow villagers to enjoy the convenience of the mutual aid association and achieve success faster, we have lowered the threshold to a minimum of RMB 100,000 to join."

Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong looked at the brochure very seriously.

There are six threshold levels, the lowest is 100,000 yuan, followed by 500,000, 1 million, 2 million, 5 million, and the highest reaches 10 million yuan.

Each level of membership can enjoy different services.

For example, people like Huang Dongheng and others who join the membership with a minimum of 100,000 yuan can only enjoy the agreed 5% monthly interest, but cannot apply for a loan from the Mutual Aid Association.

To be eligible to borrow money from a mutual aid association, you must jump up two levels, that is, a million-dollar member.

Members above this level are not only eligible to participate in borrowing, but the interest on deposits will also be higher.

Liang Shuzhen continued: "Now that the mutual aid association is open, not only has the entry threshold been lowered, but we have also launched a recommendation activity. After joining the association, you can recommend others to join the mutual aid association. Once successful, we will have rewards of varying amounts."

Hearing that there are rewards for recruiting people, Tian Jiahong's eyes lit up: "If we recruit people, what rewards will there be?"

Liang Shuzhen introduced the two of them and said: "The business of mutual aid associations is very big now, and they need funds very much. If you can recruit people to join the association, you can get 10% of the principal paid by the other party, and then 100% every month."

Two points, get it for one year in a row."

Then he specifically emphasized: "This can be stacked. The more people you bring in, the more generous the rewards will be."

Tian Jiahong thought about it in his mind and suddenly became happy. He said hurriedly: "I will work hard and recommend more people to join the club. When we save enough money, we will come and upgrade! Let's pay 100,000 yuan to join the club today."

"Can."

The two paid the money, went through the formalities, received a membership card, and left with a lot of gratitude.

After walking out of the club, Tian Jiahong remembered the matter of recruiting people to join the club, and said to Huang Dongheng: "Did you hear what happened just now about recruiting people to join the club? You go find Li Quanwang. The Tongxin Internet Cafe he runs has now opened in other cities. It is expanding.

It’s very fast and must be very rich.”

When Huang Dongheng heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and his eyebrows almost knitted together: "Our two families have fallen out, and you still want me to go find him? Do you want me to come and be laughed at by him? No!"

"

Tian Jiahong scolded: "Are you stupid? You have money to make, why do you need face? Can't you humble yourself and beg him? As long as you bring over one million, we can get 100,000 on the spot, and we can get more every month

20,000, which adds up to 340,000! This is free money, how much is your old face worth?"

"All right."

Facing the glaring Tian Jiahong, Huang Dongheng was extremely helpless and had no choice but to agree to go find Li Quanwang.

This morning, Li Quanwang came to school, found Lu Yiming, and said mysteriously: "Mingzi, I have found a way to make a fortune!"

Since Lu Yiming took Li Quanwang away last semester, although Li Quanwang has lived a much more comfortable life, he is also greedy when he sees Lu Yiming getting richer and richer. Unfortunately, he has no business acumen at all and can't even think about it.

Go out and do something to make money. After so long, he finally heard about a way to make money from elsewhere, and he couldn't wait to come to Lu Yi to show off.

Lu Yiming has always thought that Li Quanwang is a salty fish, and in fact it is true. The four words "muddling along" can basically sum up Li Quanwang's life. He never expected that Li Quanwang would find a way to make money one day, and he immediately said with some surprise

: "How to get rich? Tell me."

Li Quanwang then told him about joining the mutual aid association.

His monthly Internet cafe dividends are now stored in a card. Considering his living situation, it doesn't cost much at all. His biggest expense every month is the property fee of the villa.

He once thought about asking his parents to stop buying groceries and live in a villa to enjoy the happiness, but the two of them couldn't stay idle at all.

When money is deposited in a bank, the interest rate is not high, but if you join a mutual aid association, the situation is completely different. The rate of return beats any bank financial product.

On the surface, this is definitely a financial product with a huge yield, and the banks will shed tears after reading it. But in fact, Lu Yiming has been exposed to so many cases of fraud and pyramid schemes, and he knows how unreliable this thing is as soon as he hears it.

You keep an eye on other people’s interest, but they keep an eye on your principal!

"Wangzi."
