Zhou Chen was not surprised by the city's strong support and advocacy on his behalf.
Before the report aired, the TV station director contacted him personally to give him advance notice.
The city intends to establish him as a role model for Fengcheng City, as evidenced by the documentary he was made after winning honors for the city.
He just got the top score in the city again, and then he produced three years' worth of college entrance exam questions and five years' worth of mock exams. The city will naturally seize this opportunity to continue promoting him and creating a model image for him.
Now the entire Fanjia County knows about this.
Zhou Chen's phone kept ringing. Wang Qiang, Zhang Dong, Liu Lei, and even Wu Yuxue were all on the phone, talking about how he had been featured on the city's television station.
Many acquaintances, such as Sun Liancheng, Hu Haibing, Master Xu Laoqi, as well as Li Juan, He Jun, and others, called one after another.
It wasn't until the phone ran out of battery that it finally went completely silent.
the next day,
Lu Ye brought good news: he had signed a cooperation agreement with Xinhua Bookstore, a national chain bookstore, and their past exam papers could be distributed to chain branches across the country.
In addition, Lu Ye collected all the past college entrance examination questions from neighboring provinces, and resolved all copyright issues through negotiation and by paying a certain fee.
With simple formatting and the addition of one or two new sets of past exam questions, the entire set of past exam papers can be quickly put on the market.
Of course, Zhou Chen has to take charge of this.
After all, this is a major selling point of the "Three Years of College Entrance Examination, Five Years of Simulation" set of past exam papers, and many people are drawn to it because of this.
Every high school senior wants to be number one. Zhou Chen, who has achieved the best score in the city, is someone everyone wants to learn from. Naturally, the exam papers he personally created are highly anticipated.
"By the way, Brother Chen, this is the money we've earned these past few days, it totals..."
Lu Ye opened his bag and took out a thick wad of cash.
Looking at the cash in front of him, Lu Ye was filled with unease. If he hadn't experienced it firsthand and seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that selling past exam papers could generate a net profit of over 20,000 to nearly 30,000 yuan in just one week.
This business is incredibly profitable.
Currently, it's only being sold in Fengcheng City. If it were to be rolled out and sold in other cities, how much would it cost?
Lu Ye couldn't imagine it; all he knew was that it was a huge sum of money.
However, seeing Zhou Chen's calm demeanor in the face of all that money, Lu Ye felt somewhat ashamed, as if he had never seen the world before. He should learn more from Zhou Chen's composure.
Unlike Lu Ye, Zhou Chen had seen a lot of money. Let alone a mere 20,000, even 200,000, 2 million, or even 20 million, he wouldn't be moved at all.
"Old Lu, here's fourteen thousand yuan."
Zhou Chen found out the corresponding amount of money and presented it directly to Lu Ye.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you...?"
Lu Ye was stunned.
Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Don't just stand there. This is your share of the profits. We agreed at the beginning that I would take 51% and you would take 49%. This money is what you deserve."
Lu Ye looked at the more than 10,000 yuan in front of him. Was this all he had?
You know, his family couldn't save that much in a year. He only started a business with Zhou Chen, and in just one or two weeks, he earned tens of thousands of yuan.
At this moment, Lu Ye felt like crying.
He thought of his mother, who had saved up for his tuition by working in the fields every day, enduring wind and sun, and suffering from illness, to earn money for him. Now, he could earn money on his own, not only to support himself but also to give his mother a better life.
"Brother Chen..."
Lu Ye could no longer hold back, and tears fell from his eyes.
Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment. Why was he crying? "Old Lu, a man doesn't cry easily. Why are you crying? Do you think I didn't give you enough? I was too lazy to divide those few hundred yuan, so I didn't give them to you. Don't cry, I'll give you the rest, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye quickly waved his hand, "Brother Chen, don't misunderstand. I'm happy because I never thought I could earn so much money one day. You've given me more than enough."
"I knew it! You're not the type to hold grudges. You scared me!" Zhou Chen patted his chest, pretending to breathe a sigh of relief.
Actually, he understood Lu Ye's state of mind.
Because Lu Ye came from a poor family with limited means, yet they still managed to send him to university, Lu Ye felt considerable pressure, fearing that he would disappoint his family's expectations.
Now that I've suddenly made so much money, I can hardly control myself, and my true feelings are showing.
"Old Lu, don't be so pathetic in the future. It's only a little over ten thousand yuan. We're going to make big money in the future. Don't forget that this is only the first phase. The second phase hasn't started yet. In a few days, you'll have another ten thousand yuan in your pocket, no problem. You're the second boss of our company, the face of the company. If outsiders see you like this, they'll laugh at you."
Zhou Chen patted Lu Ye on the shoulder.
Lu Ye wiped his eyes and nodded emphatically, "Brother Chen, I understand. I won't let you down."
Zhou Chen hummed in agreement, but the next second, he frowned.
Because Lu Ye handed the 14,000 back.
"Brother Chen, don't be angry. This money is to pay you back. You lent me so much money to help me before, and now that I'm making money, I have to pay you back."
Lu Ye hadn't forgotten that Zhou Chen had lent him 120,000 yuan to help his mother with her surgery.
Zhou Chen still frowned and didn't speak, but said in a deep voice, "Old Lu, I'm not in a hurry to get back the money I borrowed from you. You can give it to me when you have the money in the future. Have you thought about how you're going to live after you pay me back now? You can be frugal, but Auntie just had surgery not long ago. Don't you want Auntie to eat better? Shouldn't the person who takes care of Auntie show some appreciation?"
Lu Ye opened his mouth, speechless, and then lowered his head.
"So, keep this money for now. Send some home and keep some for yourself. Especially since your clothes don't fit you at all, go buy a new suit. Don't be stingy. This is how we present ourselves. When you go out, you'll represent not only yourself, but also me and our company."
Zhou Chen gave a serious warning.
This time, Lu Ye obediently accepted the money and no longer thought about paying him back first.
When I left Zhou Chen's house
Lu Ye touched the wad of cash in his pocket, his heart filled with gratitude. He was glad to have such a good classmate as Zhou Chen, who helped him make money and do business. If it weren't for Zhou Chen, he might still be worrying about his future job, and he wouldn't even know that his mother was suffering from cancer that could turn into cancer at any time.
Now, everything is moving in a positive direction.
He wanted to record this special day.
then,
Lu Ye posted a status update on QQ Space, along with a picture of 14,000 yuan.
His post quickly sparked discussion among the students in the group.
