Chapter 631: 635 Internet Cafe’s first price reduction

Gu Chen left the Wei Family and didn’t go anywhere else, the first place he went to was the internet cafe.

Upon arriving at the internet cafe, the first thing Gu Chen did was to observe the current situation of the customers inside.

In fact, it was obvious that the number of customers in the internet cafe had decreased significantly compared to that time.

Back then, every single computer in the internet cafe was occupied! But now, it was clear that some computers were already empty.

At this moment, Gu Chen quickly made up his mind.

Continuing to charge the same one yuan a minute as before was definitely not going to work, and even though forty yuan an hour may be relatively cheaper, the majority of people still couldn’t afford such high expenses.

Gu Chen directly said to the network manager, "Starting from tomorrow, our internet cafe will have its first price reduction, after midnight it’ll be fifty cents a minute, twenty yuan an hour."

Gu Chen’s price cut was a direct halving of the previous price.

The network manager was clearly startled upon hearing this, not having expected Gu Chen to slash the prices by so much.

But in reality, was the magnitude of this price reduction actually that significant? Not really; it was fairly standard.

It would only be considered a significant discount if one day the price dropped to three or four yuan an hour.

Even now, there was still room for the twenty yuan an hour rate to decrease further.

After weathering this first wave, the price would directly drop to ten yuan an hour.

By doing this, the internet cafe could still make a hefty profit for at least a little while longer.

When the final stage was reached, Gu Chen had already planned it out.

He would then introduce a membership system and pull in a wave of customer deposits for the internet cafe.

After that, he wouldn’t have to worry about the internet cafe’s situation anymore.

As Gu Chen thought about these things, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted; he found that he was really very clever.

Gu Chen went to the liquor company at the end of the workday but before the staff had left.

After arriving, Gu Chen didn’t do much else, just reviewed the current daily sales volume.

Judging from the current scale, selling ten thousand bottles of liquor a day in Chuan City was truly no problem.

If it continued like this, reaching tens of thousands of yuan in net profit each day was absolutely effortless.

Next to Chuan City was Haicheng, and Gu Chen thought that expanding there wouldn’t be too difficult.

It was another large city with a population comparable to Chuan City’s and not short on people.

Moreover, the competitive pressure there was not small.

As Gu Chen contemplated these issues internally, he didn’t put any pressure on them.

He didn’t ask them to study the spending habits of Haicheng residents after finishing work.

He just took some documents from the company.

If he were to take Haicheng, it would be essential to establish a new company there and then start over with business promotion, but Gu Chen believed that the promotion could easily pick up.

Once the promotion took off, the rest would be much more convenient, with a daily fixed income of tens of thousands of yuan going into his pocket.

In all of China, there were at least a hundred such cities! If all could be taken over,

it goes without saying how much money could be earned in a year.

Seeing that it was already eight o’clock,

Gu Chen stayed at the entrance of the bar for a while, of course, he parked his car outside and did not go in, feeling he didn’t need to.

After watching at the entrance for a while, nothing special happened inside the bar, it was just that the visitors seemed to be increasing every day.

In the end, he didn’t continue his observation but went straight back home.

Upon arriving home, he saw Tiantian doing her homework.

Tangtang, as soon as she saw Gu Chen, acted as if it had been a long time since she last saw him.

She immediately became very affectionate.

"Dad!" The moment she saw Gu Chen, she rushed up to him.

"What’s the matter, missed Dad?" Gu Chen asked her with a smile.

"Dad, you’ve been too busy lately. It’s hard for me to even see you for a day."

Tangtang felt quite aggrieved as she said this to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen also felt a bit guilty when he heard this.

"Don’t worry, after a while, Dad will be able to spend time with you," Gu Chen said to Tangtang.

At this, Tangtang hurriedly continued, "Dad, how come I haven’t seen Uncle Iron Bull recently either?"

She sounded as if she was accusing Gu Chen.

Gu Chen’s face turned slightly awkward when he heard this.

He suddenly felt like he had taken everyone away from around her.

"Uncle Iron Bull has been quite busy with some things with Dad recently. After a while, Dad will have Uncle Iron Bull come to keep you company, okay?" Gu Chen, of course, chose to coddle Tangtang then.

"Okay, but it’d be best if Dad could stay with me," she said, and after finishing her sentence to Gu Chen, he just casually smiled.

"Dad! I want to eat the handmade noodles you make!" she suddenly said to Gu Chen at that moment.

Gu Chen was startled when he heard this. Handmade noodles?

How could he remember that handmade noodles were the last thing Tangtang liked to eat before.

"Alright, Dad will go make them for you," Gu Chen said as he was about to get up to make the noodles.

However, suddenly, he heard Ji Pianran speak, "Aren’t you going to ask if her mom wants some?"

Gu Chen was at a loss for words when he heard this; he felt like the mother and daughter were specifically looking for a bone to pick with him today.

"Alright, alright, my fault, my fault, I’ll go make it for you both," Gu Chen said without being stubborn at all.

After all, he was going straight to make the noodles.

By the time it was past nine at night, Gu Chen had finally finished making the noodles and everything.

After that, the family of three had the rare experience of sitting at the table together to start eating dinner.

"Husband! I have some good news for you." At that moment, Ji Pianran suddenly said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, curious, looked at her.

"What good news?" he asked, puzzled.

"It’s about that functional beverage you told me about last time. Remember, I took it to the company before.

And since then, some people thought it was okay, and some didn’t think much of it.

Today our company did a little experiment. We gathered all our employees.

Then we let them try it out.

Guess what the result was?" she asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen was taken aback, then replied, "How many people agreed?"

"A full ninety-nine percent of the employees all agreed that this functional beverage should be promoted on a large scale! So the company has decided to start mass production of this functional beverage to see if we can make it an instant hit!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen wasn’t really surprised.
