Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

The next day, Li Xingxing, who had originally planned to go to the bar for entertainment, saw a group of people gathered together and walked forward with some curiosity.

He patted a man on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, what happened here? Why are you all gathered together?"

The man who was called by Li Xingxing replied somewhat unhappily: "Don't bother me, don't you see it's my turn soon!"

Li Xingxing, who was scolded by others, became even more curious, so he asked another person, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

The person who was called had just lost the money in his trouser pocket and was already a little unhappy. He was about to scold Li Xingxing, but suddenly his mind turned and said, "You want to know what's going on inside, right? Give me two 5-cent Hong Kong dollars and I'll tell you."

"This..." Li Xingxing was a little hesitant. He didn't expect that he would have to pay 1 Hong Kong dollar to ask for information, but the shouting from the crowd was too attractive.

So he gritted his teeth, took out two 5-cent coins from his pocket, handed them to the man, and said unhappily, "You can tell me now!"

"Sure, sure." The man took the money and quickly told Li Xingxing about the arcade. Then he turned around and squeezed into the crowd.

He also shouted: "Zhang San, I have money now, let's play another round if you can."

"..." Li Xingxing looked at this scene and became even more curious.

Arcade, table tennis that can be played on TV, is it true?

After Li Xingxing waited for an hour, it was finally his turn.

"This arcade machine is indeed strange, but can it really play table tennis?"

Just when Li Xingxing was confused, the person behind him urged: "Do you want to play or not? If not, let me take over!"

"Just for fun."

Li Xingxing quickly sat down on the seat on the right and put a 5-cent coin into the coin slot.

Seeing Li Xingxing sitting down, the man on the left asked arrogantly: "Boy, do you understand the rules?"

"Big brother, this is my first time playing. Can you tell me the rules?" Li Xingxing said weakly, looking at the burly man on the left.

"Boy, you don't have to be afraid. This bar belongs to our Bamboo Union. As long as you don't cause trouble, no one will dare to do anything to you!"

The burly man Zhang San then asked, "Do you see the joystick next to you?"

"Look... I see." Li Xingxing still regretted coming to play this arcade machine.

"You can control the racket on the screen by turning the joystick to catch and hit the ping-pong ball on it." The burly man Zhang San said and gave a demonstration.

Li Xingxing watched Zhang San manipulate a joystick with his left and right hands, and a pixel ball began to jump, accompanied by a "pang, pang" sound effect.

Suddenly Zhang San stopped. As he lost control, the word "fail" appeared on the right side of the screen.

"Do you know how to play?" The burly man turned and asked Li Xingxing.

"Clear."

"Well, insert the coin then!"

It turns out that Zhang San was actually a person arranged by the bar. No matter whether you want to play or not, as long as he asks, you have to put in coins.

“Oh, oh.”

Li Xingxing felt a little cheated at first, but as he started playing, he suddenly found that this game, which didn’t look that great, was actually quite fun.

Before he knew it, Li Xingxing had played more than 40 games. When he subconsciously took money out of his pocket, he found that the 20 Hong Kong dollars he brought with him had been spent.

"I'm not going to play anymore!"

"It's okay, next one." Zhang San looked at Li Xingxing's expression and didn't say anything. He just spoke directly to the people waiting behind.

When Li Xingxing returned home, the "pang, pang" sound was still in his head.

On the second day, Huang Shan from the Bamboo Union came to Ge Xing's villa.

"Boss Ge, do you know how much our profits increased yesterday?" Huang Shan said excitedly.

"12. A full 12!"

"12, how can it be so much?" Ge Xing was a little surprised. He asked someone to calculate it yesterday. There are 150 arcade machines. Even if there are people working for 15 hours a day, the daily profit will be just a little more. How can it be 12?

"Boss Ge, hurry up and buy some more of those arcade machines. Don't you know how many people are lining up to play them today?"

"No, Huangshan, tell me first, how can you increase the profit by 12?"

"Oh, I forgot to say that." Huang Shan patted his big bald head and said excitedly, "Boss Ge, those people waiting in line can't just sit there and wait, they will definitely spend money in our territory."

"Also, our arcade has been promoted by many people, and many people come to our store just to experience a TV that can play table tennis."

"That's it!"

Just as Ge Xing was thinking, Huang Shan said impatiently: "Boss Ge, don't think about other places, hurry up and order a batch of arcade machines!"

"Yes!" Ge Xing slapped his thigh, thinking that he was getting old and confused. Instead of thinking about so many trivial things, he might as well buy some more arcade machines. That would cost money.

Ge Xing no longer hesitated, picked up the phone beside him and dialed.

"Hello, I'm Manager Meng's secretary."

"I'm Ge Xing from the Helian Association. Please help me find your Manager Meng in Mengcheng."

"OK, just a second."

After a moment, Meng Cheng's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Boss Ge, I'm Meng Cheng."

"Manager Meng, please help me buy 200 more arcade machines."

"No, add 500."

Meng Cheng on the opposite side held his forehead helplessly. He had received several calls today wanting to buy arcade machines.

"Boss Ge, you can add to the purchase, but you also know that our arcade production is limited, and it will take at least a month to deliver."

"One month?" Ge Xing hesitated for a moment and decided immediately, "Manager Meng, please help me place the order. I'll have someone send the deposit to you later."

"Thank you for your trust, Boss Ge. I promise to inform you as soon as I have the goods."

"Thank you, Manager Meng."

After Ge Xing hung up the phone, Huang Shan couldn't wait to ask, "How is Boss Ge? When can we get the goods?"

"The earliest it will be is next month!"

"Ah...it's been so long. Boss Ge, why don't you go talk to Zhang Weiguo in person?"

Ge Xing glared at Huang Shan in anger and cursed, "Idiot, you can see that arcades are so popular. Are the people from other gangs all fools?"

"Do you really think that we have such a good relationship with Zhang Weiguo? Do you really think that he would offend other gangs for us and Liansheng?"

"I...I was just talking." Huang Shan also knew that he had said the wrong thing and could only defend himself in a low voice.

"You... forget it. It's pointless to tell you."

Inside the Flower Planting Group building.

Meng Cheng came to Zhang Weiguo's office with a document.

"Boss, we may be running low on electronic parts. How many sets do you think we should buy this time?"

Zhang Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy some condoms first."

"Boss, isn't this a bit too much?" Meng Cheng was a little hesitant. The price of the set was not low, a full 50 million US dollars!

"It doesn't matter. Just believe in the charm of our arcade machines."

"This...Okay! I understand."
