Chapter 489: Four hundred and eighty-nine returning customers!_1

It felt just like clocking in for work, Gu Chen drove Tangtang to school.

After dropping him off, Gu Chen suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since he had given Old Zhang any money.

Moreover, during the last visit, they had agreed to buy a batch of computers, which Gu Chen had also forgotten about.

The main reason was that the internet café was now too busy, and a sudden renovation might be a little troublesome.

However, when he initially rented the place, the area wasn’t small at all, so even if he doubled the number of computer hosts, it wouldn’t be a problem.

As Gu Chen pondered this, he also calculated the remaining Silver Tael he had.

How many computers should he buy this time?

How about eleven more than last time? That would be thirty-one, with one for Old Zhang and the remaining thirty for himself.

Gu Chen felt that the current situation could completely accommodate thirty computers.

Actually, the reasoning was quite simple, the longer the internet café was open, the fewer customers it would have.

At the same time, due to the high prices, many families might only experience it once every few months.

Suddenly, Gu Chen thought of a method.

That was the very common practice of offering memberships in internet cafés!

Of course, the concept of membership was still non-existent in the consciousness of the majority of people.

After all, the era of various memberships and levels hadn’t arrived yet, so the idea of a membership might sound strange.

But if explained simply, it wouldn’t be strange; for instance, if a member recharges one hundred yuan on their membership card, they could get an extra ten yuan and enjoy discounts like 95% or 90% or even lower when using the internet.

This was just one way to attract members.

This thing wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; Gu Chen might earn a little less money.

However, in no time at all, Gu Chen would be able to enjoy real convenience.

On one hand, if users recharged their money in advance, it was tantamount to them starting to consume already.

It was like preemptively using up the amount of money the users would spend over the next period.

Also, having a membership card would increase the customers’ loyalty to the internet café.

Just imagine, if someone spent a hundred yuan to get a card, they would constantly remember they still had money in the internet café and would keep coming back to spend it.

As Gu Chen thought of all this, he pretty much had it figured out.

However, he felt that now was not the time to introduce the concept of the membership card.

Because in the current internet café, even without offering this service to customers, they wouldn’t lose their loyalty.

There were still too many people in Chuan City who hadn’t come to spend money at his internet café.

When the day comes, like if a second or a third internet café appears in Chuan City,

then he could consider using such promotions to deliver a small blow to their business.

Gu Chen had no choice; after all, business is like a battlefield, full of deceit and scheming.

He planned to go to the internet café in the afternoon to give Old Zhang his money.

During the day, the flower shop remained the main focus.

Mr. Guo Rong’s influence was significant.

After experiencing such a peak yesterday, there were surprisingly many people waiting outside the internet café before it opened today.

Needless to say, these people must be Mr. Guo Rong’s fans.

Gu Chen parked his car at the door, then opened the store.

Since all the flowers had been sold out yesterday, there was no floral scent left in the internet café.

But after being infused for so many days, one could indeed still detect a hint of fragrance in the room.

Gu Chen then opened the trunk and moved all the flowers into the shop.

The customers waiting outside the store were very patient and didn’t rush Gu Chen.

Only after Gu Chen had arranged all the flowers did they enter the flower shop.

They were no different from the customers yesterday, mainly asking what flowers Mr. Guo Rong had bought, wanting to buy the same flowers as him.

Today, Gu Chen was well-prepared, so there was an abundance of roses.

The transactions were quick: money in hand, flowers out the door!

So, in just an hour, the customers left happily with their flowers.

Gu Chen felt that it would probably be the same for the rest of the day, from now until about eleven in the morning.

No new customers had come to the flower shop, so Gu Chen surmised that it would likely remain that way for the day.

Although Mr. Guo Rong had a significant influence, today’s craze was not as extreme as in the future.

Gu Chen was certain that even if ten years passed, Mr. Guo Rong’s endorsement could make him rich overnight.

The flowers in the shop would utterly sell out!

But now wasn’t the time, as it still lacked that final touch.

It wasn’t that Mr. Guo Rong’s influence wasn’t adequate, but rather the people’s spending power hadn’t risen yet.

Just as Gu Chen was about to leave, suddenly someone arrived at the entrance of the flower shop.

Gu Chen remembered this person, a customer who had visited yesterday.

He had bought the same type of flowers as Mr. Guo Rong.

The man walked in slowly, his eyes reflecting an incredulous look.

"Boss! Your flowers can really help with sleep!" he said to Gu Chen.

As he spoke, his face was filled with shock, as if he had seen something terrifying if one didn’t know any better.
