Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 207 - 178 Transfer of Ownership Youu Come to

Chapter 207: Chapter 178: Transfer of Ownership [Youu Come to Play]

Chapter 207: Chapter 178: Transfer of Ownership [Youu Come to Play]

The online doll claw machine arcade “Youu Come to Play” has been doing very steady business recently.

During the National Day holiday, daily sales were over 20,000 every day.

One day it even reached 25,000!

It has to be said, that’s pretty exaggerated.

So just how popular is this arcade now?

Many tourists from other cities make it a point to visit this arcade when they come to Hang City.

For an internet-famous arcade to achieve such success means it has really broken out of its niche.

Cheng Zhu originally estimated that this store would last two months.

But judging from the current momentum, he estimated it might be even…shorter-lived?

That’s because in his view, there was only a finite customer base for this kind of store.

It’s quite possible it might reach its peak even sooner than he had predicted.

Yet he had already started issuing public notices for the transfer of ownership, with plenty of time to spare.

“That saying still holds true, you have to slowly pick out the biggest fool from a bunch of big fools!” That was Cheng Zhu’s objective.

The transfer details could be slowly discussed, gradually negotiated.

He wasn’t in any rush at all.

But since he planned to sell, it was certain that he would want to do so at the peak.

Right now, “Youu Come to Play” was at its most bustling phase, with the highest online presence.

“This moment of prosperity has to be shown to that big sucker!” That was his plan.

And because there was plenty of time for the transfer, he didn’t plan to start blasting the news everywhere just yet.

“Let’s start with the bulletin board of Technology University.”

Cheng Zhu sat in front of the computer and started composing the post.

The reason he used was the one he had thought of earlier.

He let his game startup project take the blame, saying he had a huge financial gap, and the money in his pocket couldn’t fill it all at once, so he had no choice but to transfer ownership of the shop with a heavy heart!

By the way, this was also an opportunity to do some early publicity for his game project.

Besides that, he also put a few screenshots of the daily sales in the post, choosing the days that were above 20,000.

That was a very ordinary move.

But absurdly, he also included a screenshot of the lowest daily turnover since opening, which was still over 10,000.

This was really showing off.

Look at this, our worst day still made over 10,000.

Wow, such a bad business day, eh? Only managed to sell over 10,000 Game Coins, it’s really killing me!

Can’t run it, this shop can’t be run anymore!

Must transfer, must transfer!

Of course, if he hadn’t put up a few pictures of the cash register’s turnover, others might not even believe that the post was actually made by Cheng Zhu.

It also served as self-certification of his identity as the owner.

As soon as the post was published, it could be said to have instantly caused a sensation in the school bulletin board!

The number of comments shot up steadily, and it probably had already started spreading by word of mouth within the school community.

This was big news!

You see, Cheng Zhu himself was the most prominent figure among the new students at Technology University.

And the arcade “Youu Come to Play” was very well-known.

The fact that things had taken such a turn was completely beyond the imagination of many ordinary students.

Different people, of course, had different points of focus.

Some were shocked by the shop’s turnover.

“This one month’s turnover must be five or six hundred thousand! Are profits in this kind of store high or low? Feels like they should be pretty good.”

“Profits must be super high, the dolls cost next to nothing to get in.”

“Damn, be straight with us bro, just tell us how much money you make in a month!”

“This store compared to arcades feels more conscientious, easier to grab dolls, but the profits surely aren’t low.”

“I bet what he makes in a month is more than all my university living expenses for four years combined.”

Of course, amidst the shock, there were inevitably a few show-offs chiming in.

“Pfft, it’s not that much, I thought there would be more money, it’s only a few hundred thousand a month.”

“The line is so long, and that’s all the turnover?”

“What kind of crap is this, seems I overestimated him before.”

The internet is like that; many people, when it comes to money, seem to have no basic concept.

After all, they’re all average internet tycoons, aren’t they?

But it doesn’t matter, these people were definitely not Cheng Zhu’s target audience.

But, you couldn’t say there weren’t a few data nerds who, who knows where they got the energy, actually started to calculate Cheng Zhu’s profit margin with reason and evidence.

The numbers they came up with…naturally were incorrect!

Most of them were people who pretended to know what they didn’t.

However, Cheng Zhu paid special attention to one term in these comments – operational and promotional expenses.

Their thinking was actually not wrong; for such internet-famous stores, a significant portion of the initial investment goes into operational promotion costs.

“Youu Come to Play” was an exception to this.

“But we know the truth in our heart, don’t we.”

“When it comes to transfer, I can tell the sucker about all the promotional expenses I fronted,” Cheng Zhu thought.

At the end of the post, he didn’t specify a clear transfer fee, but wrote, “The transfer fee is a seven-figure number; serious inquiries only.”

He set a high threshold right from the start, to avoid trouble.

But the thing is, one million is also a seven-figure number, and nine million is too.

So, many were still discussing what Cheng Zhu’s psychological price might be.

“I think, for a store like this, using one year’s profits as the transfer fee sounds reasonable, so I’m guessing around three to four million!”

“Rubbish! How much is the cost of his store? It’s clear to see!”

“Which idiot said that? Can it be calculated by cost? I think it won’t be less than two million!”

“To think, just transfer it and several million in hand, Cheng Zhu that damned guy is making a killing!”

Seeing these remarks, Cheng Zhu even began to wonder if people would point at him at campus in the future saying, “That’s him! The guy with millions in his account!”

From a certain point of view, isn’t this more flamboyant than driving a Ferrari to university?

What is this, a post crying poverty? All I can feel between the lines is a face-slapping vibe!

Moreover, as Cheng Zhu anticipated, many started discussing his game project.

Many knew that Cheng Zhu was a new student in the School of Information Science, which was also a frequent topic of discussion.

After all, many have certain stereotypes about computer guys.

Especially some girls, who would never have thought that someone like a male god could emerge from the School of Information Science!

And a person from the School of Information Science wanting to do a game project was normal.

To be exact, if many guys had such ability and conditions, they might also have such ideas.

It’s just, what the hell is this game he’s making that has such a huge financial gap?

Most importantly, how ambitious is he for this game?

To think he would give up “Youu Come to Play,” a business that was making money, to sell it and then invest the money into a game project?

Quite a few people were already discussing it below.

“So just how much is he short on funds?”

“No way, is he planning to work on some major game with a campus team?”

“Idiot, right? Sell a surefire business to invest in a game project? I’ve never heard of many university students who succeeded in gaming.”

“So he must make this game happen, right?”

“Awesome, once the game is out, give me a nudge, suddenly I’m very interested in playing.”

What Cheng Zhu didn’t know was that his game studio’s deputy leader, Wei Bo, also had a friend share this big news with him.

Wei Bo’s first reaction was confusion.

“Wait, since when did our game become such a money burner?”

“Or does the boss have other motives?”

When he saw the transfer post, he was simply dumbfounded, even thought it was a rumor or a scam.

However, the members of the game workshop are not so silly as to go to the bulletin board and say that their game’s production difficulty and cost are not high; that would just be a sign of having their brains kicked by a donkey.

Instead, it wasn’t long before Cheng Zhu received a WeChat message from Lin Lu.

“I saw the post you made on the bulletin board! A classmate sent it to me!”

“I told you a while ago, I was going to transfer this store in a while,” Cheng Zhu said.

“I know, I’m not here to talk to you about that,” Lin Lu replied.

“So what are you here for?”

“I came to ask you how much money you’re short!” Lin Lu replied in a matter-of-fact tone through WeChat.

Obviously, she completely believed the tale Cheng Zhu had concocted about why he was selling the store!

He chuckled and teased her: “What, are you the little rich girl going to finance me?”

“It’s not impossible!” Lin Lu replied, “But my little savings surely can’t fill such a big hole for you.”

Cheng Zhu’s heart softened; he could tell she was genuinely wanting to help.

So he didn’t tease her anymore and said plainly, “Financially there really isn’t too much of a problem, it’s just an excuse for transferring ownership of the shop.”

“Oh, by the way, I do have something I need to talk to you about,” he suddenly remembered something more serious.

“What is it?” Lin Lu was curious.

“I’ve rented a space in a mall to open a shop, and I’m planning to ask your family’s decoration design company again. Madam, don’t forget to ask your family to give me a discount,” he said.

Don’t forget, Lin Lu’s family runs a decoration design company, and it’s one of the best in Hang City.

Old rules, rent a space from Shen Qingning’s family, then get Lin Lu’s family to do the decoration.

My approach is all about sharing the benefits evenly!

“Leave it to me,” Lin Lu replied.

The two of them carried on with one message after another, continuing their warm chat.

Meanwhile, on the train.

Chen Jieyu sat by the window, looking out with a vacant and numb expression.

She felt so exhausted, as if her whole body was incredibly heavy.

She really wanted to return to Hang City now, then take a hot shower and collapse onto the bed, bury her face in the pillow, and just sleep deeply.

At that moment, her phone vibrated slightly with a WeChat message.

Chen Jieyu put on the gold-rimmed glasses she had taken off and unlocked her phone.

It was a message from a female counselor she was on friendly terms with, sharing a post from the school bulletin board.

“Jieyu, this is the shop of that guy from your class, right?” she said.

This counselor had seen the post in her class group, where there was a heated discussion going on.

Chen Jieyu accessed the post and found out that Cheng Zhu was planning to transfer “Youu Come to Play.”

“A huge financial gap for the game project?” Chen Jieyu was stunned.

As the advisor for this project, she and Cheng Zhu had agreed on one thing from the start – don’t fucking come to advise unless necessary.

That’s right, she had only made a few cursory visits, one of which Cheng Zhu had overheard her on the phone, and then he borrowed 50,000 from her.

Therefore, she really didn’t know much about the game project, and was purely a figurehead.

This made the post convey a message to her.

—Mr. Chen, your debtor lord is short on funds now.
