"What good will doing this do you?"
Although Chen Dong's words were incredibly persuasive and he was quite tempted, Yama remained skeptical and did not dispel his doubts.
This cautious nature is precisely his way of surviving.
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong smiled and said, "Of course there are benefits."
"As I just said, you provide the manpower, and I provide the technology and expertise. We split the profits 50/50. That's the official reason."
"The truth is, I am a businessman, and I am only interested in money. I have neither interest in nor want to get involved in the affairs of the underworld."
“But these days, doing business isn’t easy. If you, King Yama, were to get involved, that would be perfect. Even if the profits were less, it would be more reassuring.”
"Besides, how do you know whether my profits have increased or decreased?"
"On the surface, it is true that with your involvement, half of the profits from tea eggs will be taken away, but we can't just look at the present; we need to take a longer-term view."
At this point, Chen Dong paused slightly, first making a 3 gesture towards Yama, and then a 6 gesture.
"I have three stalls selling tea eggs. Together, I can sell up to 3,000 a day."
"With your involvement, there will be six stalls on this basis. So... even if you take half of the profits, my profits will not actually decrease."
"What if there are 9 stalls or 12 stalls?"
Chen Dong didn't say the rest, but it was just a simple math problem.
After a moment's thought, Yama understood.
"Hahaha...Good, good, good!"
King Yama laughed heartily and said "good" three times, his joy barely concealed.
"From now on, don't call me Yama anymore. It sounds too formal. Those are just nicknames given to me by people in the underworld. My real name is Jiang Fei. Just call me Brother Fei."
"Brother Fei!"
Chen Dong then addressed Fei as "Brother Fei," which helped to bridge the gap between the two.
"good!"
King Yama nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "I, Afei, acknowledge you as my brother. From now on, if you need anything, just let me know."
“If I, Ah Fei, were to even frown, I wouldn’t be human.”
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Fei. However, I still have to remind you that we are in business, so please bear with me regarding the training."
"I will gather the brothers tonight, and we will meet tomorrow to discuss the details."
"In that case, Fei-ge, I'll head back now."
Chen Dong outwardly agreed, but inwardly he didn't take it seriously.
The two are only bound together by interests; if something really happens... they can only rely on themselves.
Chen Dong's self-positioning is also very simple.
If you avoid trouble in the short term, you can successfully earn your first pot of gold.
After that, it's a world where birds can fly freely in the sky and fish can leap freely in the sea.
Then.
As Chen Dong left the bungalow, he saw Hua Zi and several of his relatives not far away.
Judging from their anxious expressions...
The group had been standing there for a while.
Chen Dong walked over to the group.
Hua Zi saw Chen Dong and said anxiously.
"Brother Dong, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
"If they dare to make things difficult for you, then so be it, fight them to the death."
As he spoke, Hua Zi brandished the dagger he always carried.
Upon seeing this, Chen Dong's expression instantly turned cold, and he reprimanded him.
"What? You're not even listening to me anymore? You even carry a knife with you; have you thought about the consequences?"
"I......"
"We'll talk about it when we get back. Anyway, it's not a bad thing!"
"oh!"
Hua Zi responded, lowered his head, and obediently followed Chen Dong.
Even so, Chen Dong still felt a warmth in his heart at Hua Zi's actions.
After the group left.
A similar scene was unfolding inside the bungalow.
"Big brother, Chen Dong is gone. I saw a few of his henchmen waiting for him."
"knew."
After pondering for a moment, Yama told Ah Long and Ah Hu what Chen Dong had said to him.
What do you two think about this?
Upon hearing this, Ah Long hurriedly replied.
"Big brother, you don't actually believe what that kid said, do you?"
"Yeah, brother, if such a good thing really happened, would it be our turn?"
Ah Hu chimed in from the side.
The three had known each other for many years and were practically like brothers.
What the two said was exactly what Yama was thinking.
However, having another way to make a living and be able to walk the right path, he was also very willing to give it a try.
If not, and there were no other means of making a living, why would anyone specifically engage in extortion and blackmail?
This thought came to mind.
"This is what Yama instructed."
"Tell all the brothers that tomorrow we'll have Chen Dong give us a training session."
"As for whether it will work, we'll know once we try..."
......
January 13th.
Seven days have passed since I partnered with Yama to sell tea eggs.
Chen Dong used the franchise model from later generations to train them for half a day.
The main purpose is to familiarize them with advertising slogans and how to attract customers.
Even, when necessary, one of them can pose as a customer and be the first to try something new.
In the afternoon, he even took them on a personal demonstration of the entire process of selling tea eggs.
Business was really easy in the 1990s.
Without the disturbances of thugs, every tea egg sold yields a real profit.
The stall was located in a train station with high foot traffic.
In addition, the Spring Festival travel rush has already begun.
