Gao Yunong continued to turn backwards, and this time he was relieved.

The new content span in this diary is much larger than before.

In the past, new content usually happened within a month.

But this time, it actually collapsed for a few months. I don’t know if this is because of the ‘upgrading’ of his family’s financial situation.

【May 25, 2000 The weather is sunny】

[After a long night of traveling and traveling, I took Chen Guanghan, Yang Yimin and Zhang Hanguang out of Yingcheng Railway Station]

[Looking at Sakura City bathed in the morning light, the three young men were very happy]

[Breathing the fresh air of Sakura City, I feel particularly comfortable]

[Although it is only my second time to come to this city, I also like this city very much]

[Unlike the heavy temperament of Beijing, this city is more avant-garde and modern]

[I have been to this city before when I applied for an Internet cafe license, so I am barely familiar with this city]

[But it was limited to some main streets. After coming out of the station, I took three young men to Nanjing Road]

[We found a hotel near here to stay first. In the next few days, our task is to sweep the streets]

[Looking for a store suitable for opening an Internet cafe, and at the same time understanding the Internet cafe market in Yingcheng]

[Today I assigned tasks to a few young men. Chen Guanghan and Yang Yimin are a group. They are responsible for sweeping Puxi]

[And I will take Zhang Hanguang to sweep Pudong. The task is a bit heavy. After coming out of the hotel, we will go straight to the areas we are responsible for.]

[I was also surprised when I came to Pudong. I often saw this place on TV news before]

[On TV, this place looks like a high-end international city]

[But after I came here, I realized that this place was completely different from what I saw on TV. Now the whole Pudong is a big construction site]

[Except for the landmark building area along the river, construction is going on everywhere else]

Gao Yunong was also stunned when he saw this. In his impression, Yingcheng was a prosperous magical city.

Especially the river view along the Pudong River is a world-class skyline, but why did dad say this is a big construction site?

When I looked at the date in my dad's diary again, I felt relieved.

It has only been two thousand years, and Pudong has only been a special zone for a few years and is in the stage of large-scale development.

The iconic high-rise buildings in Pudong will not be completed until several years later.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but get a little excited. If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that there was a lot of potential for the Pudong market?

But dad doesn’t seem to see it that way.

[This area seems very lively, but in my opinion, it is not suitable for opening an Internet cafe]

[At least this is the case for now, because most of the residential areas here are under development]

[This means that the population has not grown yet, and the market capacity is limited. If you invest here at this time, you may get trapped.]

[So after spending a whole day here, I couldn’t choose a suitable store to open a store]

[The area near Lujiazui is relatively well developed, but the store prices are relatively expensive]

[The environment of this magical city is completely different from that of the capital. This is the most economically developed city in the country]

[The first Internet cafe in China was opened in this city. I heard that when it first opened, it cost 20 yuan an hour]

[And the price of retail houses here is also more expensive than in Beijing. In Beijing, the price of retail houses in Wudaokou is only 7,000 square meters.]

[The most expensive Chaoyang Yansha is only over 8,000 yuan, but the retail price of a house in a better area of ​​Yingcheng can easily reach 15,000 yuan]

[The house price of stores in general areas is 12,300 yuan. The cost of opening a store here is much higher than in the capital]

When Gao Yunong saw this, he couldn't help but frown.

He knew that the housing prices in Yingcheng were very expensive, but he really didn't expect that the housing prices here were already so expensive twenty years ago?

But when I thought about it again, I felt relieved, because my father said this was a retail room.

In that era, the price of commercial housing was indeed higher than that of residential housing, especially in Sakura City, the first economic city.

[I returned to the hotel in the evening and met with Chen Guanghan and Yang Yimin]

[We found a famous snack from a certain province, vegetable rice and bone soup, outside the hotel, and chatted about today’s situation while eating]

[After they set off in the morning, they headed west along Nanjing Road, first arriving at the Jing'an Temple area]

[Later I went to Xuhui, which are relatively mature business districts in Yingcheng. The feedback they gave me was this]

[In these places, the commercial facilities are relatively mature, but there are already Internet cafes involved, and the most important thing is that the housing prices are also very expensive]

[Whether you are buying a store or renting, the price is about double that in Beijing]

[And in these core commercial areas, there are also many Internet cafes, ranging in size from large to small.]

[The big ones can have hundreds of machines, and the small ones can have dozens of machines]

[If we want to open Internet cafes in these areas, I'm afraid it will be very difficult]

Seeing this, Gao Yunong's brows couldn't help but tighten even more.

It seems that the idea of ​​asking my father to open Internet cafes all over the country is too simple.

Yingcheng is the first city in China to open Internet cafes. Why is there a shortage of Internet cafes here?

Those traditional good locations are probably already occupied by local practitioners.

At this time, it was really difficult to let dad fight in.

[However, the two young men did not gain anything at all]

[They told me that they went to the Civil Aviation District and the Babao Old Street business district there, and there seemed to be opportunities at the moment]

[The other thing is the University Town in Qianjiang, which they also think is good, you can try it]

[Because many universities are building new campuses there]

[And a place like that is the most suitable for us to run an Internet cafe business]

[I have never been to these places before, I plan to go with them tomorrow to have a look]

Seeing this, Gao Yunong couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Speaking of Sakura City, he also knew it very well, because after graduating from college, he joined an Internet company.

It was my first long-term business trip, and the place I went to was Sakura City.

The team he joined at that time worked overtime in Yingcheng for half a year in order to catch up on orders.

During that time, he took a quick tour of Yingcheng. He had been to all the famous business districts in Yingcheng.

For example, in the Babao Business District, the core area is the Babao Old Street.

It is an old-style street with a history of hundreds of years, but it is actually a renovated street with a strong commercial atmosphere.

As for the Jinjiang University Town, he also went to play basketball. There were a lot of people at that time and it was very lively.

But I just don’t know whether these places were suitable for opening Internet cafes twenty years ago.

【May 26, 2000 The weather is sunny】

[I woke up at six o'clock in the morning, and then I couldn't fall back to sleep]

[At seven o'clock, Xiao Chen and others woke up one after another]

[We got on the bus and set off. At eight o'clock in the morning, we arrived at Babao Old Street]

[I took a walk here. Compared with Lujiazui, Jing'an and Xuhui, which I went to yesterday, I feel like they are completely in two different worlds]

[If it is a prosperous big city, then this is a large rural area. I can even see farmland in the distance]

Seeing this, Gao Yunong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

No wonder the people of Yingcheng have such a strong chain of contempt. Why would they rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong?

At that time, when he heard someone talking about it, he thought it was a joke.
