Chapter 5 Mother's Perseverance
Lin Feng bit the bullet and entered the door.
"Hey, Xiaofeng, why are you here? Hurry up, hurry up, what do you drink? I remember you like to drink Coke, I'll buy it for you." The mother was surprised when Lin Feng came in, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. More of a surprise.
Lin Feng knew why his mother was so surprised. Before the rebirth, including the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival, Lin Feng had only come to his mother's house three times, and the only three times were when his mother called in advance to make an appointment. Lin Feng couldn't help but go. Lin Feng knew that this made his mother uncomfortable, but Lin Feng just didn't want to go. One is that Lin Feng has always had some opinions on his mother leaving his father; the other is that he is very resistant to the stepfather that his mother looked for, although he is also very good to himself.
But today he came uninvited for money, which made Lin Feng feel more guilty.
"Okay, Mom, I don't want to drink, I'm here to find you something." Lin Feng stopped his mother. Before the rebirth, I was ignorant, and after the rebirth, I can't be so ignorant, and it will be more important.
"Then I'll pour you some water." Mother hurriedly poured a glass of water from the teapot on the side.
"Mom, I..." Looking at his mother's aging face, Lin Feng suddenly couldn't open his mouth, and he couldn't say anything about borrowing money. In the next ten years, in order to save enough wife's book for herself, her mother became black and thin, but she never understood her mother's hardships before her rebirth, and instead ignored her mother's contribution to herself.
Maybe he was reborn this time to pay off his debts. ——Lin Feng suddenly had this idea in his mind.
"What's the matter, just say something, and I will do what I can for you." Seeing that Lin Feng hesitated, his mother put the teacup in Lin Feng's hand.
"Uh, Mom, I...I want to borrow...money from you." After Lin Feng finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at his mother in shame. In the past, Lin Feng was very ashamed that he didn't come to the door once for many years, and borrowed money when he came.
"How much?" the mother asked.
"1...15,000 yuan." Lin Feng said hesitantly.
"So much?" Mother was startled, and subconsciously held Lin Feng's hand, "Did you cause some trouble outside?"
"No, I didn't cause any trouble." Lin Feng shook his head, "I want to borrow money to open an Internet cafe." Speaking of Internet cafes, Lin Feng's confidence came back. and concerned.
"Open an Internet cafe?" My mother had never heard of this new word, so she asked Lin Feng carefully before she figured out what an Internet cafe was.
"No, what will you do if you lose money? You will have no money in the future when you get married." After figuring out what the Internet cafe was, her mother's attitude was as predicted by Lin Feng, and she refused directly without thinking about it.
"Mom, I won't lose. The next ten years will be dominated by Internet cafes. After entering the 21st century, it will be the age of computers and the Internet..." Lin Feng's words were interrupted by his mother again.
"I don't understand any of this, I just ask you what to do if you lose money? I saved so much money for you, it's for your marriage, not for you to mess around with." Mother insisted on getting married, not at all. Let go, "You will be in your twenties in a few years, and you have no money to get married. What do you use to marry someone?"
Lin Feng didn't expect his mother to take his marriage so seriously. After thinking about it, he said, "Mom, don't worry, you will never lose money. Otherwise, even if I borrow it from you, I can pay you back in half a year."
"Borrow? Do I still need you to pay back the money? I saved the money for you, and it was originally yours. But this is for your future marriage. If you spend it like this, where can I save it for you? Get married." His mother's words made Lin Feng both embarrassed and sentimental. But no matter what, Lin Feng must borrow the money.
After a long time in Lin Feng Mushroom and various market prospect analysis, she almost didn't tell the secret of her rebirth, her mother finally loosened up a bit.
"Okay, just trust me once, this time I will definitely make money. And this job is too bad. With 400 yuan a month, I can't make money even if I am old." Lin Feng's efforts finally made his mother relax.
"You must be able to make money?" Lin Feng knew.
The mother is hoping that she can give her some confidence. After all, this money was saved by my mother every day by setting up a street stall.
"Well, don't worry, you can definitely make money. When you make money, I'll buy you a house." Lin Feng also felt guilty, and used the money from his mother's street stall to invest... Fortunately, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. And after making money, I must buy a house that belongs to my mother completely.
"I don't want your money. It's your ability to make money. I can make money to support myself. As long as you don't lose money, I'll be thankful." The mother shook her head, but her tone softened in the end.
"Okay, then you can be careful yourself and refer to it more." Only mothers are good in the world. How could mothers not help their sons? Of course, I was still a little worried. After thinking about it, my mother continued, "In this way, you and I will Let's go and see the shops and facades together."
"Well, okay." Lin Feng also knew that he was not proficient in this area, and having his mother's help would indeed save a lot of trouble.
With his father and mother's 15,000 yuan each, a total of 30,000 yuan, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The address of the computer room, Lin Feng decided to choose the Liaoyuan Community not far from his home. This community has a large population, and it is relatively close to the No. 9 Middle School. It is an excellent choice to open an Internet cafe here.
After choosing a 10-square-meter shop with his mother, Lin Feng entrusted his mother with the business license. No way, Lin Feng was not sure if he would slap some officials in the face if he continued to scoff at those officials. Isn't it just one business license, and you need to go to dozens of places to get so many seals.
Fortunately, buying a computer was a breeze for Lin Feng. He knows the trend of computers in the next ten years and knows how to choose the most cost-effective computer.
Celeron 433, *M memory, 6.4G hard drive, voodoo graphics card, this is the most cost-effective configuration now.
However, this configuration seems to be too bad for Lin Feng after the rebirth. After all, he used AMD dual-core 3600+, 2G memory, X800 graphics card, and 200G hard drive before the rebirth, which is completely incomparable with the current configuration. When Lin Feng matched the computer, he couldn't help thinking, if he could bring that computer back to the present, I don't know what would happen!
Maybe this computer can sell for more than a million dollars!
Fortunately, although the three computers currently equipped are bad, but in 1999, they were mainstream configurations, and they could run games such as Diablo, Immortal Sword, Swordsman Romance, StarCraft, and Age of Empires smoothly. . The only thing that makes Lin Feng regret is that in Chu City, dial-up is still used to access the Internet, and there are not many game resources to download on the Internet. If you want to install the game, you must buy a CD. Fortunately, the proliferation of pirated CDs, 10 yuan a piece.
However, it is a cheap pirated CD of 10 yuan, which also makes Lin Feng feel distressed. After getting used to the free lunch, he spent 10 yuan to buy a game to play, which really made Lin Feng feel a little distressed. Especially after 10 years, these black-hearted vendors who sell pirated CDs, under the impact of the Internet free lunch, only sell a CD for 3 yuan, and it is a DVD. Now a VCD disc is sold for 10 yuan, I have to say that these pirated disc dealers have black hearts and huge profits.
Maybe I can also sell computer pirated CDs. ——Lin Feng thought about it carefully and thought it was quite feasible. The prosperous days of pirated CD-ROM dealers in Chu City still have at least 7 years left. In the past seven years, the profit of a pirated CD has been more than 7 yuan. According to Lin Feng's observation, a pirated CD dealer with a good location sells at least about 200 copies a day. This is definitely a huge profit, and it almost makes Lin Feng jealous. to return the computer to sell pirated CDs.
But after thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to open a computer room first as planned, and then turn it into an Internet cafe. Once the Internet cafes take shape, the money will flow into their pockets like water. Although pirated optical disc dealers are making money now, their profits are only so great. No matter how good the storefront is, they can only sell so many copies a day. And from time to time, there will be actions to crack down on piracy. If you are caught, you will lose all your money.
In comparison, Internet cafes are more promising and more stable.
