Chapter 185 More Than Expected

The entrance to Mo Yu Internet Cafe was crowded. Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan were so busy inside that they didn't notice Pei Qian outside at all.

Pei Qian, with Assistant Xin, observed silently.

One of the servers recognized Boss Pei and was just about to tell Ma Yang when Pei Qian grabbed him and made a "shush" gesture.

The server immediately understood.

"Boss Pei, are you planning to give Boss Ma a surprise? Got it!"

The server pretended not to see him and continued to work.

Pei Qian felt like he was about to have a heart attack and silently walked around the outside of the internet cafe.

The open space in front of the internet cafe was filled with tables and chairs and sun umbrellas. They were obviously all expensive and quite high-end.

In Ma Yang's mind, he was clearly trying to create a European seaside town feel.

But in Pei Qian's eyes, it was so lively. Was this still my Mo Yu Internet Cafe?

It was simply heartbreaking!

Just as he was about to walk inside, guitar music came from the speakers outside.

The singer began to sing.

The reaction outside wasn't as enthusiastic, after all, they were just passersby who came to listen to the music and weren't so fanatical.

But inside Mo Yu Internet Cafe, especially in the bar area, there was an instant burst of cheers and applause, and the atmosphere was quite lively!

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought someone was holding a concert here!

Pei Qian and Assistant Xin mixed into the crowd and walked inside, finding that the seats in the bar area were already full, and many people were standing.

Many people went straight to the bar, and Pei Qian watched as they handed over two red bills, but only took a drink and left without asking for change.

Then he looked at the stage.

Chen Lei was playing the guitar and singing folk songs. His face was slightly red from shyness, but he wasn't too stage-frightened.

Or perhaps he entered a state of oblivion after he started singing and forgot his stage fright.

On an inconspicuous wall next to him hung a beautiful screen, which was scrolling through what drinks a customer at a certain table had ordered, how much commission Chen Lei received, and a blessing.

Rows of blessings scrolled past, making the atmosphere in the venue even more lively.

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched violently.

He hadn't met Chen Lei, but he could guess from the scene that this was the new resident singer that the internet cafe had hired.

But Pei Qian found it a little difficult to accept these other things.

But Boss Pei was a smart man after all. After a slight turn of his mind, he figured out the general cause and effect.

"A perfectly good Mo Yu Internet Cafe has turned into Mo Yu TV?"

"What's the difference between sending drinks and sending gifts, or swiping rockets?"

"If I had come two days later, wouldn't I have really turned a profit?"

Looking at the rows of scrolling numbers on the display screen, Pei Qian felt a burst of panic. He even saw someone sending ten cocktails in a row, completing a cool screen-swiping effect, directly rewarding five hundred yuan.

Pei Qian didn't think these people were stupid and had too much money, after all, he knew that the local tyrants on the live broadcast platforms would only be more crazy than this in the future. This was just a small matter.

What's more, Chen Lei sang really well, completely worth that much money.

Pei Qian now wanted to ask, who discovered Chen Lei, such a treasure of a singer? Who!

In addition to being depressed, Pei Qian was also secretly glad.

Fortunately, I was thinking about it day and night these past few days and discovered it early.

If I had forgotten about this and kept calculating Mo Yu Internet Cafe as losing 300,000 per month before the settlement, I would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood when the settlement came!

The key is, such a big thing happened, and they didn't even report it to me!

Xin Hailu was also observing, and felt a little emotional.

Not bad, the Mo Yu Internet Cafe, which was still deserted last week, has become vibrant in a week?

If this trend continues, maybe the surrounding shops will also be driven, and then it will enter a virtuous circle!

And the strange thing is, this singer is just singing with his head down, and the atmosphere in the venue is not as lively as a normal bar, but everyone is rewarding very diligently. The drink income tonight will definitely be very considerable.

Boss Pei didn't care about the losses of Mo Yu Internet Cafe before. Did he already anticipate this day?

Assistant Xin still followed silently behind Pei Qian without asking any more questions. After all, this kind of thing was already commonplace.

Pei Qian silently squeezed through the crowd and squeezed over to Ma Yang, who was talking loudly in the corner.

...

Ma Yang was chatting with Zhang Yuan about his future plans.

"I think there is still room for improvement in this flagship store!"

"The current curtain wall can't be opened, which is a bit of a pity. I plan to find a construction team to transform the curtain wall, preferably so that people outside can also feel the atmosphere inside..."

Ma Yang's confidence was bursting, and he felt that his business talent had never been so fully developed.

Zhang Yuan was listening attentively when he suddenly saw Pei Qian behind Ma Yang, his face half-hidden in the shadows under the dim light.

"Boss Pei! Why are you here?" Zhang Yuan quickly greeted him.

Ma Yang was stunned, then turned around and saw Pei Qian with a pale face.

"Oh, Brother Qian?"

"It's a pity, I wanted to give you a surprise, but you found out."

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly. It was indeed this old Ma who was doing things!

"The internet cafe has changed so much, why didn't you tell me?" Pei Qian felt like he had been deceived, and still by his best brother. He was very tired.

Ma Yang was stunned: "Brother Qian, I'm only reporting good news, not bad news! I thought the good news wasn't big enough to bother you!"

Pei Qian: "..."

What the hell is reporting good news and not bad news!

If all my employees were like you, I would be dead!

But Pei Qian couldn't say harsh words to Ma Yang. After all, Old Ma's starting point was good, and it was for the profit of the internet cafe. It would be a bit unkind for Pei Qian to forcibly criticize Ma Yang for destroying the style of Mo Yu Internet Cafe.

In any case, Old Ma fully utilized his pig brain this time and tried his best to make money for Pei Qian.

But why did Pei Qian feel a little angina pectoris...

Could it be that my most loyal confidant is about to leave me?

"Since Boss Pei has already discovered it, then please give us some guidance. What do you think needs to be improved in the internet cafe?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly: "It's all...pretty good."

"But...there is still room for improvement."

"This screen is a bit too tacky. Although your intention is good, it's to allow everyone to see their rewards and write blessings, using this method to satisfy everyone's need to show off."

"But, on the one hand, this screen is constantly refreshing, which is very destructive to the atmosphere. On the other hand, stimulating customers to compare consumption is also inconsistent with the temperament of our internet cafe."

"So I think it's better to cancel it. Customers coming to drink is already the biggest support. Don't compare consumption."

Pei Qian looked like he had great foresight.

Ma Yang looked at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said: "Indeed, what Boss Pei said makes sense! I thought this screen was a bit awkward before, but I couldn't explain exactly where it was awkward."

"Now that I think about it, it's indeed the reason Boss Pei said. It doesn't match the temperament of our internet cafe!"

Ma Yang was a little reluctant: "Then...let's cancel it."

Pei Qian felt a little more at ease. Without this screen, everyone's enthusiasm for rewarding should be slightly reduced...right?

"Also, the tables and chairs outside are too dense! There's no style. You can remove some of them."

"Hmm...that's right." Ma Yang nodded, also feeling that it made sense.

Pei Qian said earnestly: "Old Ma, I am very touched that you are trying so hard to make Mo Yu Internet Cafe profitable."

"But you must remember that profitability is never the first priority for Mo Yu Internet Cafe. The first priority is to shape the image of our Tengda!"

"Okay, Brother Qian, I understand!" Ma Yang nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, we have the same mind. You don't need to say much about these things. I understand!"

Hehe, you understand my ass...

Pei Qian walked away silently resenting.
