In the vast river of history, many strange figures have emerged, such as the despicable and lewd founding emperor Liu Bang, the gossipy strategist Yang Xiu, and the lecherous Chen Ping. These individuals, possessing certain exceptional abilities, also have some elements that are detestable; however, this does not mean they are incompetent!
Gu Jing is merely a movie enthusiast. Wei Yuan previously did not take this fat man seriously because he thought that apart from movies, there was nothing else in his life. Even running a video store was almost a losing business, and he even looked down on him a bit.
But now he realizes that this fat man has ulterior motives. It turns out Gu Jing is well-versed in the ways of business. He understands that his store's location cannot attract many customers, especially in a city where everyone is busy making a living. Who has so much time to rent video disks? Moreover, with the internet being so developed now, isn't it easy to find any movie online for free?
If he is not mistaken, the fat man's main income should come from using the convenience of the internet to find like-minded people who enjoy audio-visual products and then selling rare video disks, such as concert recordings of certain singers or original movie discs, all of which are priced quite high. Of course, the idea of repairing discs must have come to him after witnessing Wei Yuan's impressive abilities.
"How about it? Think it over. The client side depends on me; you can use your ability to make money while I can earn a little commission. We could even take this opportunity to promote the video store," Gu Jing advised.
This fat man really has a knack for this; in such a short time, he thought of how to utilize Wei Yuan's repairing ability to make money. Wei Yuan could imagine Gu Jing's entire QQ number filled with so many friend groups—a network that took a long time to build up!
After all, real life is not like making movies; there aren't that many lone wolves or people with extraordinary abilities. Even if some individuals accidentally gain extraordinary powers, if they want to establish themselves in society, they often have to follow certain social rules.
Currently, regarding the repairing ability, Wei Yuan is still in an exploratory phase. However, after having this fortuitous encounter, Wei Yuan clearly knows that he cannot continue to be mediocre. Does this mean that in the future, if he wants to achieve something, he will also need a certain social network?
After realizing this point, Wei Yuan did not directly answer the fat man's question but instead asked, "Have you ever thought about developing a real fan club using your friends in these groups? Establishing a dedicated website where these people can share movies, self-produced audio-visual materials, post reviews, interact with fellow fans, and repair treasured video disks—activities like these could attract more people to join. You could even organize events in real life to create a genuine fan club!"
Seeing Gu Jing nodding along as he listened to his words, Wei Yuan continued: "By doing this, we would have our first batch of cohesive online friends. If there are new developments in the future, some of them could help us create momentum. In the stock market, there's a phenomenon known as herd behavior; when the market expands, investors tend to follow along with that expansion and choose greed over caution at times when they should be careful. Real estate developers often start with internal purchases after completing a project and get some insiders to hype it up—it's all based on the same principle!"
After hearing his words, Gu Jing couldn't help but praise him: "You draw inferences from one instance! Mr. Liu is quite impressive; you have great talent."
“Mr. Liu?” Wei Yuan asked curiously.
Could it be Liu Haisheng? Gu Jing confirmed his guess: “It's the director from your school. He came here with a young man during lunch when you went to eat. He couldn't find you, so after chatting for a while, I told him to come back later.”
What could Liu Haisheng want with him at this time? They had just discussed selling books last night, and now he was coming to pick up the goods? If that were the case, this old guy was really too eager!
The two of them discussed this issue again. Wei Yuan initially agreed to Gu Jing's suggestion to help someone with Repairing Discs video tapes, mainly because with his large network of online friends as a guarantee, it could indeed make money. However, given Wei Yuan's current physical condition, he still felt that repairing books and Video Disk tapes was relatively safer. Therefore, the most important task at hand was to strengthen his body as soon as possible!
“Your idea is good, but setting up a website is still quite far off for us. Let's start with some free chat software or other websites and slowly seek development,” Gu Jing said.
Gu Jing had a point; he couldn't just keep repairing some Video Disk tapes forever. If this trend took off and many people came looking for him, he wouldn't be able to handle it all.
After temporarily settling these issues, Wei Yuan handed everything over to Gu Jing to manage. As for whether those needing Video Disk tapes would come directly or send them by mail, that wasn't something he needed to consider. Anyway, he would let Gu Jing gather those people together at one time and then repair and charge for them; that would be enough!
About half an hour later, when Wei Yuan went up to the attic to prepare to bring down the two large boxes of repaired genuine books, he suddenly heard a loud crash from above. It was the sound of iron rods hitting the table. Looking down from the attic, he saw a drunken Chang Wei and three others: Flying Eagle.
“Where is Wei Yuan?” Chang Wei approached and asked Gu Jing.
He must have found out that Wei Yuan was working in this shop. Fueled by drunkenness and anger, he rallied Flying Eagle and the others to come looking for him. It seemed that in his view, if they could make Wei Yuan lose this job and teach him a lesson, it would be a good way to get back at him!
“Who is Wei Yuan? You must have the wrong person,” Gu Jing pretended to be clueless.
“Stop playing dumb with me! I've already found out he's working in your shop. If you don't fire him and hand him over to us today, I'll smash your store!” Chang Wei said arrogantly.
The two people beside Flying Eagle looked at him, and he said with a heavy nasal tone from drinking, "If you don't hand over the person, then I'll smash it!"
【This Fan Club will play a significant role in the future; it is the beginning of Wei Yuan's development. As for what role it will serve, this chapter has already hinted at some aspects. If it's still not clear enough, just keep reading, and you'll understand. The Wolf has always liked to lead the protagonist in different directions, and readers who have seen my previous book know this well. I am confident that everyone will enjoy the upcoming plot, and I hope to write more in the future. Thank you for your continued support!】
