Chapter 62 Being Fooled

June 25th, Friday evening.

The singing still echoed in Moyu Internet Cafe, but the tables and chairs below were all empty, with only two or three people coming to drink.

The singer sang listlessly, and the audience listened drowsily.

Ma Yang looked worried.

What should he do!

As the surrounding stores' offensives became more and more fierce, the traffic to Moyu Internet Cafe became less and less.

Although there were singers performing at night, the other bars around not only had singers, but also offered discounts on all drinks!

Those bars were crowded and lively, and many of Moyu Internet Cafe's old customers had defected.

After all, most people go to bars to play and socialize, and few want to drink alone in a deserted environment, especially since this place is also expensive.

Although this new resident singer sings pretty well, he is far inferior to Chen Lei's level, so naturally he can't attract any customers.

The fewer people there were, the less motivated he was; the less motivated he was, the less heartfelt he sang, gradually falling into a vicious cycle.

"Brother Qian told me not to do anything."

"But, I feel so empty inside..."

Ma Yang drank alone, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Moyu Internet Cafe continued to lose money, Moyu Takeout showed no signs of improving, and now it was raining on a leaky roof, which made him feel very self-doubtful.

At a table in the corner of the Internet cafe, Li Shi sipped a cocktail, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

Sure enough, they were just a bunch of young people. Fighting with me? They're still too tender.

Fuhui Capital had already invested in many local Jingzhou industries and had a considerable influence.

Spending a little money, uniting with the surrounding stores near Moyu Internet Cafe to carry out some activities, the stores gained attention and traffic, and incidentally suppressed Moyu Internet Cafe, so that Fuhui Capital's investment could be smoother.

This was a win-win for Li Shi and the nearby stores.

Li Shi had been undercover at Moyu Internet Cafe for a long time, and had already roughly figured out the structure here.

That very young President Pei was the big boss behind Moyu Internet Cafe, but he was relatively stubborn, very headstrong, probably the type who wouldn't listen to advice, so he had to be approached slowly.

This Zhang Yuan was said to be the regional manager, but his relationship with President Pei was not very close; he was more responsible for the specific operation of the Internet cafe.

The key was to focus on this long face. (Referring to Ma Yang)

This Ma Yang seemed to have a very close relationship with President Pei, and he also seemed to be not very bright, the type that was easily fooled.

First, get this long face under control, and as long as you fool him, then use him to gradually influence President Pei, and great things can be accomplished.

Now, it was hard to say what President Pei's state was, after all, he hadn't come to Moyu Internet Cafe in the past two days; but looking at the state of this long face, he should be unable to hold on any longer.

Li Shi's calculations were very good; he still wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

After all, this kind of thing that keeps burning money can't always be done. The main thing was to attack the mind.

As long as the people at Moyu Internet Cafe were made to question the profitability of the business model, and then he offered timely help, extending a helping hand at the right time...

Then, this investment would be a sure thing.

Li Shi held his glass and went straight to sit opposite Ma Yang.

Ma Yang was feeling depressed, and was stunned when he saw the slightly weathered face of Li Shi.

What did this mean?

There were no beauties at his table, what was he planning to do?

Could it be... did these rich people have special fetishes???

Ma Yang didn't know what to say for a moment, and just silently moved his cup back, away from Li Shi.

Li Shi didn't know that Ma Yang's inner thoughts were so rich, and thought he was instinctively wary of him.

"President Ma, hello, let me introduce myself. I am Li Shi, the CEO of Fuhui Capital."

Li Shi confidently handed over a business card: "Actually, I'm a regular customer here. I don't know if President Ma is interested in discussing cooperation?"

Discovering that the other party was not after his looks, Ma Yang felt relieved, carefully took the business card, and examined it carefully in the dim light.

Li Shi: "..."

He found that this President Ma didn't seem to know about Fuhui Capital...

Li Shi was a little frantic.

That didn't make sense, did it?

Fuhui Capital was very famous in the Jingzhou local investment circle, wasn't it?

Judging from Ma Yang's perfunctory expression, he simply didn't know what Fuhui Capital could bring to Moyu Internet Cafe.

Fortunately, Li Shi had fought many battles and had rich experience. Since Ma Yang didn't understand anything, he would go straight to the point.

This kind of novice who doesn't understand anything is the easiest to fool.

Li Shi took two sips of his wine, fully activated his aura as a successful person, and introduced the cooperation plan to Ma Yang in a calm and all-knowing tone.

In short, Fuhui Capital would invest in Moyu Internet Cafe, and use its rich experience to "guide" the operation of the Internet cafe. Everyone would make money together, and promote the Moyu Internet Cafe model to the whole country as soon as possible...

In short, he casually drew a perfect pie.

Ma Yang's eyes gradually brightened, and he was moved!

After all, Li Shi was a successful person, and his clothes and conversation were very unusual, a world apart from the low-level tactics of those pyramid schemers and insurance salesmen.

Moreover, every word he said hit the nail on the head, perfectly solving Ma Yang's current pain point, which was the profitability of Moyu Internet Cafe!

Now that Moyu Internet Cafe was going downhill, Zhang Yuan couldn't provide a good solution, and Pei Qian had been acting mysteriously, which made Ma Yang feel uneasy.

Li Shi casually threw out a few profitable models for Internet cafes, and fooled Ma Yang.

Li Shi saw Ma Yang's reaction in his eyes, and he knew that he had succeeded.

"It's unexpectedly smooth."

Next, all he had to do was wait for the fish to take the bait.

After Li Shi finished speaking, Ma Yang looked excited, and it could be seen that he was full of longing for the blueprint described by Li Shi.

However, he didn't agree immediately.

"President Li, your proposal is very good. But... I still have to ask my leader for instructions."

Ma Yang hadn't forgotten that Pei Qian still had the final say on the Internet cafe's affairs.

Li Shi was prepared for this, and smiled, "Of course."

Now that the words had been spoken, it was not good to say too much.

Li Shi was sure that Ma Yang had been completely convinced by him. As long as this long face could persistently whisper sweet nothings into Pei Qian's ear... no, blow in his ear, it would always have some effect.

He wasn't worried about Pei Qian's suspicion. This was also a means of combining soft and hard tactics.

...

"Brother Qian, that's pretty much the situation! If we accept Fuhui Capital's investment, can we turn losses into profits?"

On the phone, Ma Yang's voice was still a little excited.

Pei Qian laughed inwardly.

Ma Yang was really easy to fool.

However, Pei Qian was not angry. After all, in his opinion, this was one of Ma Yang's strengths as an employee.

It seemed that Ma Yang was completely brainwashed by this President Li of Fuhui Capital, but it didn't matter. Pei Qian could wash him clean again in a few words.

"Old Ma, you've been deceived."

On the phone, Ma Yang was obviously stunned.

"Brother Qian, what do you mean by that?"

Pei Qian chuckled: "Actually, this Fuhui Capital had already called Assistant Xin a few days ago. They wanted to invest in Moyu Internet Cafe, but I refused."

Ma Yang was a little puzzled: "Why refuse? Brother Qian, he's giving us a lot of money to invest, and everyone can make money together. Isn't that a good thing?"

Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.

This President Li obviously thought Ma Yang was easy to fool, so he wanted to find a breakthrough from him.

In the final analysis, he still hadn't given up the idea of investing in Moyu Internet Cafe.
