Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate Chapter 56 : Interested in the Internet Cafe

Chapter 56: Interested in the Internet Cafe

"This internet cafe is for sale?"

Ma Xiaoshuai pointed out: "Look, there's even a notice posted."

Chen Fan turned his head, and indeed there was a notice posted on the pillar nearby.

Curiously, he went over and took a look. The content written on it was very simple.

Because the boss urgently needs money, he has decided to sell the internet cafe at a low price. Interested custors please contact the boss.

A contact number was also provided below.

Chen Fan was a bit puzzled. According to the current market conditions, opening an internet cafe in these few years was basically like owning a money tree.

Especially in the next two years, when gas like 'MU Online', 'Legend of Mir', and 'World of Warcraft' ca online, internet cafes would see a real peak.

Basically, all internet cafes opened during those years made a killing.

At this ti, choosing to sell an internet cafe was definitely an unwise choice.

Could it be that the boss really ran into financial difficulties?

On the way back to school, Chen Fan kept pondering this issue.

He was thinking, what if he took over this internet cafe?

Originally, there was no such option in his business plan.

But now, Yuming has yet to find a suitable buyer.

He couldn't keep waiting forever, he had to find a money-making project.

Opening an internet cafe seed like a good choice too.

Of course, the premise was that he had enough capital to buy the internet cafe.

His current total assets only amounted to a little over fifty thousand, which was definitely not enough.

However, Chen Fan was very curious about how much the boss intended to sell the internet cafe for.

The more he thought about it, the more curious he beca, and even when he lay in bed after lights out at night, this thought kept lingering.

The next day, Chen Fan went alone to the Global Village internet cafe.

He approached the front desk: "I'd like to see your boss."

The front desk girl looked up and glanced at Chen Fan.

"What do you want to see our boss for?"

Chen Fan pointed at the notice by the entrance.

"Your boss wants to sell this internet cafe, right? I want to ask about it."

The front desk girl seed a bit surprised, giving Chen Fan a once-over.

"You're a student, aren't you?"

Chen Fan smiled.

"Who says a student can't buy it?"

The girl paused for a mont, "Wait a sec."

She picked up the desk phone and dialed a number.

After saying a few words on the phone.

"The boss isn't here, he has sothing to take care of outside."

"She said if you're really interested, you can go to Silk Jasmine Tea House in an hour, and our boss will et you there for a discussion."

Chen Fan asked: "Silk Jasmine Tea House is the cafe on West 2nd Road, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, got it. Thanks."

After leaving the internet cafe, Chen Fan took another look at the notice by the entrance, then stepped onto the street, observing the row of roadside buildings in front of him.

He had been thinking about it all night, and Chen Fan felt more and more that this could work.

According to his mories from his past life, Chen Fan recalled that this row of roadside shops would be demolished in two years due to urban developnt.

At that ti, a prosperous comrcial and cultural street would be built here.

Since it's right next to Yunhai University, the shop prices on this street would only increase year by year.

He had the advantage of prior knowledge.

If he bought this shop in advance, of course, Chen Fan's target was not the internet cafe itself.

But rather, the shop that the internet cafe was located in.

After buying it, he could continue running the internet cafe for two years, and then wait for the demolition and compensation.

The money he would make at that ti would definitely be several tis his current investnt.

This deal was absolutely profitable.

The only problem now was how much the boss of Global Village intended to sell for.

And whether the shop that the internet cafe was located in actually belonged to him or not.

There were two specialized classes in the morning, but Chen Fan had already decided not to attend.

He walked directly to Silk Jasmine Tea House on West 2nd Road.

West 2nd Road wasn't far from Yunhai University, about half an hour's walk at most.

As Chen Fan walked, he observed the surrounding environnt, comparing it to the future changes in his mind.

He realized that if he had enough capital, he could purchase so shops or plots of land in advance.

For example, pick out a few old houses in the city center area, or buy a building in advance along the planned subway routes...

When demolition began, he almost wouldn't have to do anything, just wait to receive the compensation money.

Was there any easier way to make money than this?

Chen Fan mused as he walked.

Unfortunately, he didn't have money now.

Of course, there was still ti, he still had enough ti to prepare.

Arriving at Silk Jasmine Tea House more than twenty minutes early, Chen Fan entered and casually took a seat by the window.

A beautiful waitress ca over to ask what he would like to drink.

Chen Fan glanced at the nu, the prices were a bit high.

"Just a glass of warm water please, I'm waiting for soone."

"Okay, please wait."

Chen Fan had taken three sips of water when a woman in her forties walked in.

Her eyes scanned the lounge.

Chen Fan stood up and went over, "Excuse , are you the boss of Global Village?"

"Are you the one who wants to see ?"

The woman looked at Chen Fan in surprise, giving him a once-over, her brow imdiately furrowing.

Feeling like she had been tricked.

Chen Fan gestured an invitation.

The woman hesitated for a mont, but still walked over with a solemn face and sat across from Chen Fan.

Her gaze lingered on Chen Fan for another two glances.

"From the looks of you, you must be a student at Yunhai University, right?"

Chen Fan felt amused in his heart, not surprisingly the boss and employee of the sa shop asked the sa question.

"Yes. I'm a first-year freshman at Yunhai University."

Upon hearing this answer, the last glimr of anticipation on the woman's face vanished.

She instantly beca extrely disappointed.

Chen Fan seed to not notice the change in her expression, smiling as he continued.

"But who says a student can't buy an internet cafe?"

The woman glanced at Chen Fan.

"You really intend to buy my internet cafe?"

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I co here for no reason? I have no interest in coffee."

Chen Fan smiled, "Of course, I'll inquire about your selling price first."

The woman was still full of doubts about Chen Fan, but since he had already co, she waved over a waitress and ordered a cup of coffee.

After the coffee was served, the woman slowly took a sip.

Chen Fan sat across from her, also observing this woman.

From her attire and deanor, to her speech and elegant coffee drinking motions.

It could be judged that this woman had received a good upbringing and education, and her family background must have been quite decent.

Of course, whether she was currently encountering financial difficulties was unknown.

After taking two sips of coffee, the woman finally spoke.

"My shop has only been open for three years, the area is over two hundred square ters, with around eighty computers or so."

"Just the cost of buying the computers was over 500,000, not including the venue fee, renovation fee, various electrical equipnt fees, etc."

"The total cost was almost 600,000 to 700,000."

Chen Fan smiled: "You just said it yourself, this shop was opened three years ago, no matter the computers or equipnt, you can't not calculate the depreciation cost, right?"

"And your renovation and equipnt fees have nothing to do with , even if I take over, I'll need to spend money on renovations myself, I'll also need to hire workers for an additional garbage disposal fee..."

Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Chen Fan with so surprise.

Seemingly not expecting that a university student would be so knowledgeable when discussing business with her.

For a mont, she couldn't help but discard her disdain for Chen Fan.

"You really want to buy it?"

Chen Fan smiled.

"If not, why would I be sitting here talking to you?"

The woman hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly gritted her teeth.

"Alright. If you're really serious about buying, I'll sell it to you for 550,000."
