It was unknown if Yang Kai had been so bored recently that he slapped his head and thought of this idea.
"Brother An, don't doubt me. I've observed that the Internet café around the university is the most popular. It's all students who go online. If we go late, there won't be any computers left! Moreover, with the two of us together, the funds are completely enough. There's no technical difficulty. I've calculated that renting a shop for about 80,000 yuan a year and buying the computers…"
Yang Kai thought that Li An did not believe him, so he rambled on and told him his grand plan and concept.
Li An recalled their experience playing games in the Internet café in the past two days and immediately felt that this was a bad idea that Yang Kai could think of. However, opening an Internet café was clearly unreliable, so he interrupted him.
"Young Master Kai, Young Master Kai, listen to Daddy… No, don't look at me like that. What I mean is, listen to me. There's no future in opening an Internet café." Li An saw that the expression on Yang Kai's face was not good and hurriedly changed his words.
"How is there no future?" Yang Kai looked unhappy as if Li An did not understand him as his best brother.
"Listen to me." Li An explained, "The business of the Internet café is good now, but I don't know if you've discovered it, but this thing has already begun to decline, especially around the university city. Now that smartphones are becoming more and more developed, mobile games are also becoming more and more fun. In the future, probably no one will go to the Internet café. In a year or two, the Internet cafés around the university city will probably close down."
Li An was telling the truth. He still remembered that when he first entered university, the Internet café was indeed relatively popular. However, in his second year, business had already begun to decline. In his third year, a few Internet cafés had even closed.
In that case, his return to five years ago was not useless. At the very least, there were some places where he had foresight.
Yang Kai could not refute and said angrily, "Then what do you suggest?"
Opening a cheap club would make it impossible for all the boys to resist… cough, cough, cough.
Li An casually said, "It's not bad to open a bread and milk tea shop, right?"
Yang Kai thought carefully, then suddenly slapped the table, scaring Li An.
"Alright, we'll do as you say. Let's open a bakery!"
Li An leaned back again. "I was just saying. Are you serious?!"
"That's right. Could it be that you think I'm joking?" Yang Kai glared at him. This burly man was very intimidating.
Li An took a sip of the tea to calm himself down. Then, he said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Just open one."
In any case, money fell from the sky. It was not a big deal to go crazy with Yang Kai every time. Moreover, on careful thought, opening a bakery might not earn him money, but it should not be a loss. Young people liked this thing, but the price might be cheaper around the university city.
"Alright, cheers, we're partners!" Yang Kai was overjoyed and raised his cup.
Li An touched him and was a little worried.
As the saying went, don't do business with your brothers.
He was afraid that there would be a conflict of interest in the future that would change their relationship.
However, looking at Yang Kai's passionate expression, it was useless to say anything now. He could only pay more attention in the future.
"Alright, I'll leave this to Brother An!" After drinking a cup, Yang Kai smiled and said.
Li An leaned back for the third time. "What do you mean by leave it to me? You're quite the hands-off boss?"
"No way!" Li An said firmly. What a joke. He still wanted to hand everything to Yang Kai. He only needed to pay.
"Damn, good brother, why are you arguing with me?!" Yang Kai's eyes widened as he tried to threaten Li An.
Li An crossed his arms and sneered, "Haha."
Yang Kai could not hand over the workload and immediately said in embarrassment, "Then let's distribute the work. Everyone will be responsible for half, okay?"
Li An nodded. This was fair.
Next, the two of them ate Japanese food and discussed what to prepare.
Firstly, they had to rent a shop around the university city. It was best to be closer to East River University. This way, it would be convenient for the two of them to run to the shop in the future. Next, they had to renovate it and apply for a business license. Perhaps they had to get a food safety and hygiene certificate. Then, they had to hire a pastry chef and waiter. Lastly, they had to buy raw materials.
In terms of raw materials, the two of them had the same opinion. The cost was secondary, but the important thing was that the quality had to be passable.
After sorting out his thoughts, Yang Kai thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll suffer a little. I'll rent a shop and take care of the renovation and supplies. Then, you'll be responsible for hiring people and doing those miscellaneous things like applying for a license. How about it?"
Applying for a license was considered a miscellaneous task, huh?
Li An glanced at him and could guess what he was thinking.
He could probably ask his father's channels to obtain these things, and it would be more convenient. However, no matter what Li An chose, he did not have an easy solution, so he nodded indifferently. "Sure!"
"Alright, it's settled then!" Yang Kai was overjoyed. As if relieved, he smiled and ate a piece of tempura.
Li An looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Tell me the truth. Why did you suddenly think of starting a business?"
Yang Kai's hand that was holding the stick paused, and then he smiled bitterly, "Brother An, you saw through me. This is my father's idea. He set a mission for me to create a career during my university years."
Li An nodded in understanding.
Then, Yang Kai expressed that if his father had not asked him to listen to Li An, he would definitely have insisted on opening an Internet café.
However, at this point, Li An looked at Yang Kai thoughtfully.
Since this was a mission given to him by his father, then…
Perhaps he could not borrow the strength of his family and might very well let him deal with it himself in the end. Otherwise, if he took care of everything, what was the point of training?
"How about this? We'll set up a company first and invest half of the money each. The money for your rental and raw materials will be paid from here. Also, how about we invest a million each and make up for it later?" Li An said.
Yang Kai waved his hand and said generously, "Why are you so calculative with me? I'll pay two million as long as I can complete the mission!"
Li An stopped him and said seriously, "No, when it comes to benefits, brothers should settle accounts clearly. I don't want us to have a conflict because of future disputes."
Yang Kai nodded in a daze. Li An suspected that he did not understand.
After an important matter was settled, Yang Kai's appetite improved greatly. He ate for nothing and went to the Internet café to play games again. In the end, he went to the hotel to talk to two girls.
After all, he could not rush it now.
