After making the arrangements, Zhang Wang went to the milk tea shop next door and ordered a drink. As he drank, he observed the situation in the shared phone booth.
While Ruan Guangjian was painting, the phone booth had already gathered a lot of people. Now that the phone booth was officially completed, people could not wait to take photos.
Needless to say, everyone was quite cultured.
Everyone consciously lined up and went to take photos with Modest's painting outside the phone booth.
In the process, some people had planned to join in the fun. However, when they saw the new accessories in the phone booth through the glass, their curiosity was suddenly ignited.
"There seems to be a lot of things inside."
"That looks like a drinks machine. Is it free?"
"You can drink anything you want for ten yuan. What are you thinking? Of course you'll have to pay extra. "
"There's also a capsule machine and two microphones! What do you mean? You can sing inside? "
"What's that thing under the folding seat? I've never seen it before. "
"I think there's more stuff here than before. Everyone, please make way. I want to go in and take a look."
"Hey, hey, hey. We're queuing."
"Split into two lines. We're not queuing for the same thing! You guys take photos and we'll go in to experience it. We won't interfere with each other. "
"What about me who wants to take photos and experience it at the same time …"
After a moment of commotion, the crowd quickly split into two lines.
One line was prepared to take photos with Modest's painting outside. The other line was waiting to enter the phone booth to experience it.
Previously, no one had entered the phone booth because there were too few things in the phone booth. There was nothing much to experience.
However, now that there were more things and the original art outside, more people were willing to go in.
People were judged by appearances. The phone booth was no exception.
The first to enter was still a couple.
After all, it would be strange to enter such a place alone. Not only would they be lonely, but they would also be surrounded by people outside.
After the two of them entered, they happily closed the door and then drew the curtains.
At the same time, the people outside saw the remaining time on the small display: 15 minutes.
That way, the people in the queue would roughly know how long it would be before their turn.
Of course, there were still flaws in this function. For example, it could only know how long it would take for the people in the phone booth to come out, but it could not accurately know how long it would take for the entire queue.
Zhang Wang made a mental note of this. He planned to introduce a function like queuing to take a number or a time estimation function.
In the phone booth, the couple began to explore the little world curiously.
"Eh? Two drinks? I can choose either the hot or cold one?"
"I can even sing for free?"
"Wow, that's only 10 yuan for 15 minutes. It's worth it!"
"There are also twisted eggs … Unfortunately, twisted eggs aren't free."
"What are you thinking about? If the twisted eggs are free, the business will suffer a huge loss."
"Sing one?"
"Can you do it? It's a little embarrassing."
"It's okay. The sound from the mall outside can't be heard at all. That means the soundproofing is pretty good."
At first, the price of 10 yuan for 15 minutes seemed a bit high. However, with so many new functions, it wasn't high anymore. In fact, it was worth it!
To Zhang Wang, there was still profit to be made.
The drinks were only given once. If the customers sang for 15 minutes, they would get two drinks. If they sang for an hour, they would get two drinks. If they were thirsty, they would buy more drinks.
Moreover, the drinks in the beverage machine didn't cost much. Take hot drinks for example. 1,000 grams of instant coffee or milk tea could be made into about 50 cups of 250ml hot drinks. The cost of each cup was only 50 cents. Moreover, the more ingredients they bought, the cheaper it would be.
Even after factoring in the water and electricity bills, they would still make a profit by selling a cup of drinks for two yuan.
Of course, there was no need to force the taste.
Moreover, they could earn some extra money from the twisted eggs.
The two of them picked up the microphones on the table and found a small box with free microphone covers. After entering, they would get two for free. If they wanted to use it again, they would have to pay for it.
The accompaniment sounded, and the two of them started singing.
…
Outside the phone booth, the people in line could vaguely hear the faint sound of music coming from inside.
"Ah? They're really singing? "
"How … how long are they going to sing?"
"F * ck, they're charging again. The remaining time is now half an hour!"
"… Let's go, let's go. How f * cking long do we have to wait?!"
Seeing that the couple was about to enter and that the remaining time on the display screen was starting from half an hour, many people who had wanted to queue up to experience it gave up and dispersed.
However, Zhang Wang, who was sitting in a nearby beverage shop, instantly felt at ease when he saw this scene.
It would not be good if the people who entered came out very quickly. It would mean that the phone booth was not attractive enough to them!
However, now, the first couple was going to sing for half an hour inside. That meant that there was no problem with the shared phone booth's model!
The rest of the phone booths could be produced very quickly. Then, they could be placed in the various shopping malls in Jingzhou.
They were money trees that could generate long-term profits!
Once all twenty shared phone booths were set up and the money earned was recovered, they would report the good news to Boss Pei immediately!
…
…
In the afternoon, a taxi drove from Jingzhou Airport to Shenhua View.
A young man opened the author's platform application on his cell phone and created a new chapter. Then, very skillfully, he typed the words' application for leave 'in the title.
"I'm going to Jingzhou to attend the first online authors' study class organized by Zhongdian Chinese Network. I'm taking a day off.
"Also, asking for votes!"
After typing in one go, the young man put away his cell phone and casually admired the scenery of Jingzhou through the taxi window.
A few minutes later, he took out his cell phone again and opened Zhongdian Chinese Network's application to check the readers' comments under the chapter.
"F * ck, I thought there was an update!"
"The no-show spirit is taking leave again? Count how many times you've taken leave this month? "
"It's not even 3 PM yet. Can't you write at night?"
"Not bad, you're improving. The previous few times were when your classmates got married. I don't know why your classmates got married at the same time. You found a good excuse this time. Keep it up! "
"Taking leave frequently is a sign of a bad ending. Tell me, is this book going to end badly again?!"
"F * ck, no, I've just caught up. You've only written six hundred thousand words. You're a child!"
"Asking for votes on leave? Shameless!"
"Do you see this ticket? Tsk, I won't give it to you even if I tear it!"
The young man smiled slightly as he looked at the indignant comments of the readers. He was already used to it.
Cui Geng, one of the members of Zhongdian Chinese Network's authors' study class. His pen name was' Tentacle Monster Who Writes Hard '. However, this pen name was perfect irony.
Usually, he would update every chapter and take leave depending on his mood. Every time he took leave, he would shamelessly ask for votes.
What's more, he had written two or three books that all ended badly. It could be said that he was famous.
However, every time he started a book, his ideas were especially good. His early rhythm was perfect and captivating. Although the readers scolded him every time, they could only read on helplessly.
Cui Geng sighed silently. "Ai, I'm telling the truth this time. I'm really here for the study class. Why doesn't everyone believe me?"
There were hardworking and lazy web authors. Cui Geng belonged to the kind that was especially lazy.
That was because he had no motivation.
The year he graduated from university, he felt the pressure of material things in the real world for the first time. Therefore, he decided to write web novels to make a living.
In the end, after writing for half a year, his house was demolished.
Cui Geng wandered around for a while and felt empty again. Therefore, he decided to turn over a new leaf and become a new man. This time, he had to write a good book and become a god.
In the end, the other houses in his house were demolished.
Cui Geng often sighed. Life was just like that.
Who would still be in the mood to write books?
Therefore, Cui Geng's current state was to leave everything to fate.
This time, he came to Jingzhou with the intention of traveling.
He did not know what the study class was about, but he immediately signed up when he heard that there was a basic salary and that food and accommodation were provided.
He did not expect to be chosen.
It was probably because there were not many good authors on Zhongdian Chinese Network …
Cui Geng had originally written on Infinite Chinese Network. In the end, not only did the readers know about his bad ending, but even the editors knew about it. Every time he opened his book, many old readers would spit on him.
Helpless, Cui Geng, who did not lack money, decided to change to another platform and let himself go.
Therefore, he accidentally came to Zhongdian Chinese Network, which was relatively friendly to middle-level authors.
"I heard that there are quite a lot of fun places in Jingzhou.
"It's just as well. I can use the study class as an excuse to have fun in Jingzhou for a few days.
"I have a legitimate reason to take leave. The readers can't say anything, right?
"I'm collecting material. What's more, writing is mental work. Playing more can keep my mind clear and happy. That will help me write better content.
"Everyone will definitely understand!"
As he was thinking, he arrived at Shenhua View.
Cui Geng got out of the car and took the elevator to Zhongdian Chinese Network's editorial department.
Someone warmly received him and led him to the guest room.
Before long, Ma Yiqun came to the guest room, and the two of them started chatting.
During their conversation, Cui Geng found out that he was the first author in the study class to come to Jingzhou. That surprised him.
On second thought, he was indeed right. He had just received the invitation yesterday, and he had already arrived today. That was quite fast.
The main reason was that he wanted to use this excuse to take leave earlier. That was why he was so proactive.
After chatting for a while, Ma Yiqun brought a contract over.
"This is the contract for the online literature study class. Everyone has to sign it.
"Take a closer look at some of the details here. If there are no problems, you can sign it.
"There will be some requirements for you, but don't worry. They are all very basic requirements. They will not be too much."
Cui Geng was stunned. "Eh? What's the contract? "
It was quite formal.
