Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!-Chapter 123 - 106 Straight Away Put It On_2
Chapter 123: Chapter 106 Straight Away Put It On_2
He didn’t know if this photo-taking and check-in trend could really take off, but if it did, it would definitely bring in a pretty penny!
You see, club memberships are an important way for stores to make a quick return on investment!
Besides, some customers come in groups.
Just now, four girls came in, seemingly dorm mates swarming out together.
After discussing for a bit, they chose to — pool funds for a card!
This way, buying Game Coins is more cost-effective, and later on they can take turns holding the exquisitely beautiful membership card to take photos at the store’s entrance.
The nature of this was somewhat like the group-buying trend among wannabe socialites.
But not quite the same.
However, this was exactly the effect Cheng Zhu was going for.
When opening a trendy store, don’t just focus on being posh and making the threshold too high.
You want to meet the girls’ needs for taking photos as much as possible. Once they’ve taken beautiful photos, they’ll naturally post them on various social media platforms, which is equivalent to helping you promote for free.
At the same time, it won’t be too hard on our male compatriots’ wallets since these claw machine arcades often have a lot of couple customers.
“Why make it tough for men?” that’s what Cheng Zhu thought to himself.
“Many business owners are well aware that when couples come in, men tend to not let their women leave empty-handed for reasons such as saving face and will probably catch one or two prizes. So they set the machines to be stingy and the chances extremely low.”
“I don’t really care, I’m all about the volume.”
“Win by foot traffic.” Cheng Zhu had this in mind early on.
He had already mentioned before that the claw machines in his store have a much higher success rate than normal arcades.
This way, for the average guy, it feels more worthwhile, and they can keep their girlfriends happy.
And for the jerks, it lets them believe in a delightful misunderstanding — that they are masters at claw machines!
Okay then, this store can be my chick-magnet shrine!
Don’t doubt it, some jerks would indeed bring different girls to “Youu Come to Play” in a very short time span to show off and win the girls’ favor.
“Do I not understand jerks?”
“You bunch of good-for-nothings, if I don’t take your money, whose should I take?”
I provide the opportunity for you to show off, and of course you should pay me, that’s fair.
Don’t tell me you really think you’re a claw machine master?
…
…
By afternoon, “Youu Come to Play” was bustling to the point of overcrowding.
No way around it, the customer retention rate was high.
Look, as a trendy photo spot, many girls would naturally want to head to those photo spots after playing the claw machines, right?
That means customers would end up spending more time in the store.
Thus, the store was always bursting with activity!
Cheng Zhu glanced over his shop and noticed that among the three roommates, Dong Dong was the biggest sycophant.
Just now, he actively helped two girls open the claw machine’s glass door, rearranged the dolls inside, and placed them in an easier position to grab.
This was indeed the task Cheng Zhu had assigned, but goddamn, were you looking down on people?
You only help the pretty ones! Shamelessly seeking attention!
The girls gave him a polite smile and said, “Thanks, handsome.”
Those four simple words were enough to make him beam idiotically.
As for Liu Feng, he was relatively more pragmatic.
He was genuinely helpful and may have had his own agenda, but definitely not as single-mindedly selfish as Dong Dong.
As for Zheng Qingfeng, his main act was being aloof.
While Dong Dong and Liu Feng could be seen smiling and asking the girls, “Need help?”
This cool and detached fatty hardly said a word and just silently got on with his work.
Oddly enough, because he naturally looked older, many people called him “Boss!”
The other employees all looked quite young; only he looked almost forty, so people naturally mistook him for the boss, assuming the others were the workers.
This made the usually tight-lipped Zheng Qingfeng have to clarify, “The boss is at the front desk.”
This simple statement would often elicit a response like “Ah! That handsome guy is the boss?”
“The boss is kind of handsome!”
“That… does your boss have a girlfriend?”
This led Zheng Qingfeng to gradually realize, “Even if we’re just here to help, it seems girls are out of our league.”
First, you’ve got to be handsome.
Otherwise, they’ll just see you as an ordinary worker.
You’re just a service worker, do you really expect girls to actively add your WeChat?
Damn, this superficial world! When will we hidden gems be recognized!
At this moment, Cheng Zhu had already added 5 girls on his work WeChat.
To put it frankly, one of them was quite attractive, in the same league as the dancing Yao Yina.
But in his eyes now, these moderately pretty girls were just suitable tools for photo-taking.
But you don’t sign up for a membership card and just drool over my body – that’s a bit insincere, isn’t it!
“Wang Wei, come and cover for me,” Cheng Zhu called the staff girl to the front desk.
He had been taking money and dispensing Game Coins to customers, and the sound of coins rattling had been constant; his ears were starting to object.
Cheng Zhu went outside the shop, needing to catch his breath, and also to have a smoke.
But there were also many girls taking pictures at the entrance, making him walk further away to smoke, lest his stylish self accidentally photo-bomb them and inadvertently create a few memes.
Coincidentally, “Elegant Weirdo” Pei Yan, still in his white shirt, happened to pass by pretending to observe the business at “Youu Come to Play.”
Holy moly, the business was so booming it was affecting traffic!
With so many girls taking pictures at the shop entrance, he had to detour around them to avoid appearing in their shots.
“This must amount to several thousand in turnover for the day.”
“It’s just the opening, it’s normal for business to be good,” Pei Yan thought to himself.
He stood at the shop entrance, craning his neck to peer inside for a long time.
He didn’t see Shen Qingning or Lin Lu, nor Cheng Zhu.
Last night, Pei Yan had already noticed the advertisement post on the university bulletin board. Seeing the traditionally aloof Shen Qingning actually helping with the photo shoot and promotion, he felt a bit uneasy.
Pei Yan was even considering whether to contact the board’s moderator to have his advertisement removed.

Cheng Zhu, who was smoking in a corner from a distance, had already noticed him.
“Look at Elegant Weirdo sporting a slick pomade under the sun, shining bright!” he thought to himself.
“Vice Chairman Pei!” Cheng Zhu, holding his cigarette from a distance, suddenly called out, startling Pei Yan.
Pei Yan had no choice but to walk over and greet him, “Cheng, we meet again.”
“Here to play?” Cheng Zhu asked.
“No, just happened to pass by, as you know, our student council’s management is quite concerned about the entrepreneurial projects of regular college students.” Pei Yan had no intention of patronizing the place.
“Oh, is that so? I was actually thinking of giving you a few coins,” Cheng Zhu responded nonchalantly upon hearing he wasn’t there to play.
“No need for such politeness,” Pei Yan could feel his insincerity but, being ever graceful and gentlemanly, he made a courteous remark, “I see business is booming.”
He continued, “There was another small arcade outside school before, also a project closely watched by our student council’s management. If I remember correctly, that place made over 8000 on its first day.”
“Your shop’s smaller, but I reckon it should make a few thousand in a day too, right?”
Looking at him, Cheng Zhu smiled.
He snuffed out his cigarette on the trash can and said, “From morning until now in the afternoon, we’ve indeed only made a few thousand. I just glanced at the tally before coming out, barely 7800.”
“But with the time it took for a smoke, I guess it’s probably broken 8000 now. So, it’s alright!”
