Chapter 738: High-profit industry, La Dabao becomes a shareholder

"Dabao, do you want to start a business with me?"

Duan Jiabao was stunned when he heard this suddenly. However, he was very confused when he saw Chen An's serious expression. "Brother Chen, please stop teasing me. I am not cut out for business. I think being your assistant is more suitable for me."

Seeing Duan Jiabao's expression, Chen An smiled and said, "One cannot be blindly confident, nor can one overly deny oneself. If one has not tried something, how can one know that it will not work?"

"Brother Chen, are you running out of money recently? I still have some. If it's not enough, you can ask my parents for some."

Silly girl, Chen An waved his hand to signal her to listen to him.

"Dabao, the domestic game market has been growing in recent years. Even many colleges and universities have established e-sports clubs. In addition, most of the popular games on the market are competitive. It is foreseeable that e-sports will be very popular in the next few years."

"With the booming market, there are many business opportunities. When young people play games together, the first choice is definitely Internet cafes. In the next few years, this will definitely be a high-yield business for investment. Are you interested in becoming a shareholder of my new company?"

Duan Jiabao didn't expect that Brother Chen actually wanted to open an Internet cafe. She had only been there to play around and didn't really know much about it. As for whether this business could make money, she didn't know, but if Brother Chen said it could make money, then it must make money...

"Brother Chen, I will listen to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do. If you need any money, I will find a way to prepare it."

Well, Chen An exclaimed, what a good guy, she is indeed a girl with a love affair. Her main characteristic is that she is obedient, doesn’t ask anything, and is willing to help count the money after being sold.

"So, Dabao, I'll assign you a task before the New Year. Find someone to conduct a market survey of Internet cafes in the city, including unit prices, traffic volume, etc., and compile a report for me..."

"Ah? Brother Chen, am I the only one here?" Duan Jiabao was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that this job was not too difficult, but there were too many places in the Magic City. She would be too busy even if she didn't sleep for 24 hours a day.

"Use your brain. If you don't have enough people, you can pay to hire someone else. Besides, the owner and the network administrator know the situation of an Internet cafe best. If you use your superpowers, this won't be a small problem. I'll transfer tens of thousands to you as funding..."

Duan Jiabao stuck out his tongue. The question he just asked was indeed a bit silly.

"Brother Chen, can I let Xiaoguo come with me?"

Chen An couldn't help but feel curious, "Doesn't she have a job?"

"Xiao Guo had some minor conflicts with her boss and has now resigned. There is no recruitment at the end of the year, so I want to let her earn some money."

Well, it seems that the leader who went against the grain still couldn't escape Jiang Xiaoguo's hammer of justice.

"I'll leave this matter to you. I just want the results. As for the investment, I plan to invest 50 million first. How much you want to invest depends on your own situation."

Upon hearing this number, Duan Jiabao's eyes widened. Fifty million, and it was just an initial investment. This showed that Brother Chen was extremely optimistic about the future of this industry. Duan Jiabao didn't care much about how much money he could make from the investment. What he cared about was that his idol took the initiative to invite him to invest.

This means that my status in the male god's heart has been significantly improved. He has even started to seek benefits for his little assistant. Oh no, no, no, I must take it seriously and make considerable investments. I must withdraw my New Year's money in advance until I am 40, and the same goes for my pocket money.

After sorting out the odds and ends, I can get about 5-6 million. It seems that this amount is still a little short. If it doesn't work, I can borrow Duan Zhenyu's pocket money first and mortgage the house to the bank. In this way, I can get more than 10 million. Is this worthy of my male god?...

Looking at Duan Jiabao who was in a trance and counting on his fingers, thinking about something, Chen An poured himself a cup of tea and did not disturb the girl.

Chen An only thought of this industry after Nansun mentioned it to him last night.

In his previous life, Chen An met by chance a tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of millions. It was during a casual conversation that he learned about the huge profits in this industry.

That big brother made his fortune by running an Internet cafe, and later he invested in Internet cafes. Almost all the larger Internet cafes in the local area and surrounding areas were his. Later he invested in e-sports clubs and made a lot of money.

We had known each other for 20 years at that time, and only then did I realize that from 10 to 18, the seemingly insignificant Internet cafe industry had profits that were not worse than real estate, and even had more advantages, and there were not so many unnecessary troubles.

For an area with a good location and high traffic, the investment can be recovered in eight to ten months, while for an inferior location, it can be recovered in twelve to fourteen months.

The upgrade of Internet cafes usually takes about two years, which means the annual profit is 60%, which has surpassed countless physical industries and is even more profitable than loan sharking.

Moreover, compared with physical industries such as catering, the Internet cafe industry is a light asset investment with quick cost recovery. It also has a relatively simple model that is easy to replicate and multiply quickly, making it a pure cash cow.

Moreover, with the acceleration of domestic infrastructure construction, especially network construction, games will become one of the indispensable means of entertainment in people's lives. The future development of the e-sports industry is also an inevitable trend.

Many competitive games have hundreds of millions of users, and some even have hundreds of millions of players worldwide. This is such a huge pie, and all those clubs are making a lot of money. There is no reason for them to leave the pie uneaten.

In the future, the chain of Internet cafes and the club can complement each other, and the huge amount of traffic owned by the club is also what Chen An needs very much. E-commerce is all about traffic, and he can also sign some excellent game anchors and develop in a diversified way.

Instead of wasting energy competing with the old foxes who control the traditional industries, it is better to make the pie bigger yourself and strive to be the one who shares it.

After Dabao left, Chen An thought for a while and decided to set up a new company. After all, running an Internet cafe would take at least three months, whether it was completing formalities or selecting a site, decoration and design, etc. During this period, there was plenty of time to complete the design of the recruitment software.

Let Sun Nan handle the matter, and as for the name of the company, let's call it Antarctic Star. Chen An couldn't help but smile when he thought of the night when they first met. In less than a year, she's almost become a mother.
