Chapter 92 Then, I'll take you to open a room

  Thank you very much "Xuan Yuan Yun" shoes for 130 VIP tickets!!!

  This brother internet cafe branch, once opened, will have two floors and be equipped with at least over a hundred machines. If it operates for 24 hours a day, without saying more, an average of 12 hours of usage per machine can be achieved. With membership fees of 1.5 yuan per hour, each machine can generate 18 yuan in revenue during its 12 operating hours, and one hundred machines can generate 1800 yuan. This is the most conservative estimate, meaning that at least this much revenue can be generated every day. This does not include income from drinks, snacks, and non-member usage.

  One day 1800, one month is 54,000 yuan. Ten percent of that is 5,400 yuan. That means every month Liu Wanchuan gets at least this much money. To think about it, Liu Wanchuan is still a high school student and now it's 2005! Money is really valuable! The amount he gets in one month is equivalent to the total income of his parents for two or three months!

  This profit is by no means a small sum!

  "No way! Absolutely not!" Liu Wanchuan waved his hand hastily after a brief moment of distraction, "Lin Ge, the brothers want to take an equal share, can't make exceptions. I'm still like Liangzi and the others, 5% is enough for me!"

  Lorraine smiled and shook her head, gently patting Liu Wanchuan's shoulder: "Xiao Chuan, don't refuse. To be honest, among the five brothers, you are the most mature and have the most worries. I'll give you 10% of the shares, although it's materialistic, but it's a recognition of your attitude towards doing things. This world is fair, you get what you pay for, this 10% share is what you deserve. Don't worry, Liangzi and the others respect you, they won't have any opinions."

  "But..." Liu Wanchuan wanted to say something more.

  "No more excuses." Lorin waved his hand, his expression serious. "From now on, I'll have many things to instruct you to do, and your tasks will be more than the other four. If you don't accept, it won't be good for me to give you assignments in the future either. Can't have me doing everything myself, can I? After all, I only have half a year left before I go to Yanjing, and from then on, this place will have to rely entirely on you."

  Liu Wanchuan didn't say anything else, he just opened his mouth and looked at Lin Ge's serious expression that brooked no argument, and finally swallowed the words back into his belly. Luo Lin had said as much, if he still refused, it would really be impolite.

  "Don't worry, Lin Ge, I will do a good job." Liu Wanchuan said with a firm expression.

  Lorraine patted Liu Wanchuan's shoulder again: "Just make a good show of it and don't embarrass yourself."

  "En!!" Liu Wanchuan nodded heavily.

  In the Luo family, there is the Luo Group, this giant mountain, which will eventually become his personal assets in the future, so he doesn't care about this little money. He is very clear that in this era, talent is far more important than some minor material income. When he decided to open an internet cafe and bar around the school, it was to cultivate Liu Wanchuan and a few other young brothers. Now it may not be apparent, but after a few years, it will be discovered that these investments are nothing compared to the returns that will be gained in the future.

  At noon, Lorraine invited Blue Orchid to have lunch together, and then they parted ways. She went alone to a bar in the Hutong alley, but found Liu Wanchuan's figure again.

  "Xiao Chuan, weren't you at Xin Internet Cafe just now? How did you end up here?" Luo Lin asked as he walked into the bar.

  At this time, Liu Wanchuan was sitting at the bar, flipping through some accounts. He looked up and saw Luo Lin walking towards him, smiling and saying: "Just had lunch, the internet cafe's decoration is fine, so I came here to check yesterday night's business account... by the way, Brother Lin have you eaten lunch?"

  "I've eaten." Lorraine nodded, walked up and casually flipped through the accounts under Liu Wanchuan's hands, and couldn't help but nod. No wonder many nouveau riche choose to open bars, it turns out this is a highly profitable industry. However... ordinary people really don't have the skills to open a bar, after all, this isn't some small capital romantic bar, the guests they receive are mostly social thugs with low quality, if there's no strong backstage support, it won't last long, once you offend someone, they'll come and smash the store every few days, that's when you'll be out of business.

  However, in the Pian Er Chuang area, Luo Lin and Lang Hu's relationship is quite strong, so this biggest problem isn't a problem at all. Generally speaking, customers who come here to have fun, who doesn't know about Pian Er Chuang Wolf Dog Brother and Black Glove Xiao Lin Brother? In this society, no matter what age you are, as long as you're ruthless enough and have a deep enough background, you're the boss!

  Those who are willing to tip here are mostly social young people, and they are also willing to spend money, so their income is naturally considerable.

  "Brother, opening a bar is just about making money." Liu Wanchuan couldn't help but sigh at Luolin.

  Lorraine smiled: "In our era, the entertainment and leisure industry makes the most money, not just bars. Later on, as you gain more experience, you'll discover more ways to make a profit. Now, while you're still in school, I've provided these conditions for you guys, so pay attention, learn, and think more often. Actually, I'm not worried about you or Jiatong, who has good intuition, but I am worried about Liangzi and the other three, so teach them well later on."

  "Okay, don't worry Lin Ge, I know."

  …………

  After sitting in the bar for a while, around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lorrain returned home and sat alone in the living room with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette. His eyes followed the slowly rising white mist to gaze at the ceiling, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking thoughtful.

  Lorraine sat silently at home for an entire afternoon without saying a word.

  In the depths of winter, night fell early, and by five or six o'clock, the sky had already completely darkened. Lorraine glanced at her watch and realized the timing was just right, so she gave Jiang Yan a call. Soon, a cheerful voice came from the other end: "Hello, you've finally remembered to call me?"

  Lorraine smiled: "Hehe, Yan sister, you're in a good mood? Have you apologized to your uncle and aunt?"

  "Don't worry, I've already apologized...” Jiang Yan smiled happily, seemingly having a pleasant conversation with her parents. "Dad and mom have promised me they won't pressure me anymore. However, they said that if I still haven't found a good boyfriend by the time I'm 26, they'll arrange another blind date for me, and then I'll be in trouble."

  "Heh heh, what did you say?" Lorraine asked.

  "Guess?" The usually cold and elegant Jiang Yan was actually teasing herself.

  Luo Lin hesitated for a moment before blurting out: "I don't guess."

  "Cut, you're really boring." Jiang Yan sighed in disappointment and turned to the topic at hand, "Say, how do you plan to arrange things?"

  Lu Lian immediately knew that Jiang Yan was talking about gathering evidence for the crime of embezzling millions, and didn't drag on other topics. He quickly said: "You come directly to my house to find me, I'll tell you about the specific plan, and it's almost time to go to Caesar's Palace."

  "Okay."

  She hung up the phone and hastily changed into what she thought was her most beautiful outfit, simply tidying up her hair before heading out.

  Lao Jiang and his wife saw Jiang Yan's hurried appearance, and asked in surprise: "Huh? Yan Yan? We're about to have dinner soon, where are you going?"

  Jiang Yan's figure, who was about to open the door, paused for a moment, turned her head and smiled: "Hmm... that... there are some trivial cases in the bureau that I need to deal with, so I might be back a bit later."

  "Huh? Aren't you on vacation?"

  Before her parents could finish speaking, Jiang Yan had already opened the door and quickly slipped out.

  "Hey? Eh...... This kid, hasn't even finished speaking and already left...... Sigh, if Yan could put half of the effort she puts into work into her emotions, I reckon she would have been married by now." Jiang Dad shook his head in dismay.

  Jiang's mother watched her daughter leave, recalling the unrestrained smile on her face as she departed. She pondered for a moment before turning around with a chuckle and saying to Jiang's father: "Old Jiang... after all these years in officialdom, you still don't have this much discernment?"

  "What's wrong?" Jiang Dad asked in surprise.

  "Your daughter looks like this, how can she be rushing to work? Obviously, she's going on a date with someone!" Jiang Mom said with a joyful smile.

  "What?" Mr. Jiang's face suddenly lit up with a hint of joy, "Really? How did you figure it out?"

  "Don't forget, I was young too. When I secretly ran out of the house to meet you on a date back then, I looked like this too." Jiang's mom said with a glance at Jiang's dad, her tone somewhat nostalgic.

  "Come on, I haven't seen you smile so brightly in years."

  "That's because you're old, if you were still as handsome as when you were young, I would laugh so hard every day. ... Look at you now, your face is full of wrinkles, and the crow's feet around your eyes are so deep that they could pinch a mosquito to death."

  "You're a feisty old lady, with a sharp tongue, just like someone much younger."

  The old couple's quarrel skills, at this time Jiang Yan downstairs had already intercepted a taxi and rushed in.

  "Where to, miss?" the driver asked, turning his head back.

  "Go to Jingxiang Garden."

  "Alright!"

  Vroom! —— A gas pedal underfoot, the taxi sped away quickly.

  …………

  Soon, Jiang Yan arrived at the door of Luo Lin's house, stretched out her hand and pressed the doorbell. As soon as it rang twice, the door was opened, and Luo Lin's smiling face appeared before Jiang Yan's eyes.

  "Sister Yan, it's cold outside, come in quickly."

  "Uh-huh."

  After entering the house, Jiang Yan casually took off her high-heeled leather boots and changed into a pair of slippers. Her white down jacket was hung on the clothes rack, and her tall figure was wrapped in a tight-fitting white sweater and light blue jeans, outlining a smooth and seductive S-curve. She walked naturally to Luolin's side, plopped herself down on the sofa, and gazed at him with a pair of cold and beautiful eyes: "Speak up, little genius, when are you planning to take action, and how do you plan to do it?"

  Luo Lin directly got to the point: "It's simple, first of all, we need to enter Caesar's Palace as a couple, so that I can get in with just my VIP card. To apply for a VIP card, you need to register your ID, but you're an on-duty police officer from the criminal police brigade, and your identity can't be exposed, so you can't apply for a VIP card. Is there any problem with this?"

  Jiang Yan thought for a moment and nodded calmly, "What's the big deal? It's not like we have a choice. Given my special identity, I'll just have to suffer through pretending to be your girlfriend this once."

  Lorraine's expression turned serious as she continued, "Then we'll enter the underground casino beneath Caesar's Palace."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Then, we need to stay until around eight o'clock in the evening before leaving, because that's when Wan Baiwan starts working. We entered the casino a bit early just to avoid being suspected, you understand?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Then I'll take you to open a room."

  "Hmm... Hmm??!!"
