Du Chen was not surprised by what Li Dewen had found out about his family's business. As for the neighbors and friends in the living area who had a good relationship with his parents, everyone vaguely knew that he had given them a lot of advice.
Moreover, Du Chen's parents never thought of hiding this matter. Instead, they proudly showed off some of Du Chen's ideas to those around them, so Du Chen was not surprised at all when he heard the news.
"So, Brother Li, do you have any ideas?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen again.
"Du Chen, you're much better than us little hooligans, so I'd like to ask you for a favor. Do you have any good ideas to help us?"
Li Dewen's original idea was to ask Du Chen for some money to spend, but the more he investigated, the more he felt that a one-time deal would be too much of a loss. It would be better to ask Du Chen to help him come up with an idea. If there was a deal, he would have money every day, unlike now, when he makes money here and there, with no tomorrow.
"You want me to help you find a business, right?"
"Well, that's best!"
Li Dewen said to Du Chen.
Du Chen lowered his head and thought for a while. The simplest way was to give Li Dewen an idea, but Du Chen was afraid that the other party would pester him again in the future. It would be troublesome if he got involved with such a person.
"Do you have any ideas of your own?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen what he thought again.
"To be honest, I have no idea. We can't do a good job, and we don't want to do a bad job..."
As Li Dewen spoke, he lowered his head. He felt a little ashamed. Anyone who heard what he said would feel that he was shameless.
Du Chen did not laugh at Li Dewen. In fact, everyone had the same idea, but the conditions did not allow it.
"Brother Li, let me ask you, what kind of shops are there on this street? I haven't really walked around it yet."
From the perspective of Li Dewen and his group, the only possible career path was entertainment, and this was a suitable field for a group of hooligans like them. So Du Chen wanted to know what kind of business this street had, so he could offer some advice.
"This street? There are billiard halls, video halls, game halls, and some tobacco shops. The game halls are the most popular, and there are only two billiard halls. There's not much else."
Li Dewen didn't even think about it and just opened his mouth to answer. He walked around this street every day, so he naturally knew what this street was about.
"oh!"
Du Chen suddenly thought that a roller skating rink seemed to be quite suitable for the other party. Apart from the requirement of a larger venue, the other investments were negligible compared to game halls and billiard halls.
"Brother Li, how much money can you brothers come up with?"
Du Chen asked the other party the most crucial question: why do you need capital? It depends on how much money the other party can raise.
"Ah, we did some calculations the other day, and to be honest, we don't have much money!"
When it comes to the issue of funds, Li Dewen is a little embarrassed to speak, and he can't say how much money they have after hesitating for a long time.
"So how much is a small amount of money?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen again.
"About three...three thousand..."
Li Dewen said it with some embarrassment, and Du Chen grinned when he heard the number of three thousand yuan. This amount of money was not enough.
"Brother Li, you're kidding me, right? Just three thousand?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen again without giving up.
"Almost, almost three thousand!"
As a result, Li Dewen's words made Du Chen shut up immediately. Well, after talking for so long, it was still not enough for three thousand yuan!
"Brother Li, how about you guys go out and work for six months or a year to save some money?"
Du Chen was silent for a long time and gave Li Dewen an idea.
"Du Chen, I know the money is a bit low! Can you think of a solution?"
Li Dewen is really shameless. Since he has already said it, he has to let Du Chen give him some good advice today.
"What's the matter, Brother Li? Do you want me to pay you? You're really calculating!"
Du Chen's first reaction was that Li Dewen was trying to get something for nothing and was here to trick him, so his tone became cold and he stopped smiling at him.
"No, no, Du Chen, you misunderstood me. I really don't have that idea!"
When Li Dewen saw Du Chen looking at him expressionlessly, he immediately became nervous. It was not because he was afraid of Du Chen, a little kid, but because he was afraid that Du Chen would not give him any advice. He was counting on Du Chen to show him a way to make money.
"Brother Li, what do you mean?"
Du Chen still looked at Li Dewen expressionlessly. He wanted to see what Li Dewen was trying to do.
"Du Chen, what do you want us to do? How much money will it cost? Let me have an idea. I'll also find a way to borrow money!"
Li Dewen quickly expressed his thoughts. If he continued to bother Du Chen, he would really be blocking his way.
"Okay, I'll trust you this time, Brother Li. I'll tell you my idea, but whether you can do it or not depends on you!"
Du Chen thought about it and decided that since he was not going to get involved in the other party's affairs, he might as well tell the other party his thoughts directly to prevent Li Dewen from always thinking about him.
"Okay, okay, Du Chen, you say!"
Li Dewen said to Du Chen happily.
"Okay, Brother Li, let's be frank. I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm also timid. It's okay for me to give you advice, but don't involve me in what happens next!"
Du Chen's words were very blunt. That was why he didn't want to have anything to do with people like Li Dewen.
"Du Chen, I understand what you mean and your concerns, but we're not exactly gangsters. We're just street urchins, at best small-time thugs."
"We don't have any big ambitions. We just want to have enough food and clothing better than the average person. And we're sure no trouble will come to you, so don't worry!"
Li Dewen patted his chest and said to Du Chen.
"Let's talk about this later! First, let me tell you the idea I have for you!"
"Okay, okay. Go ahead!"
"What I mean is, why don't you build a roller skating rink? You can have fun on your own when you have nothing to do, and you can make some money at the same time. It's exactly what you want!"
"Okay, okay, that's a good idea! Go on, if you have anything else to say!"
Li Dewen excitedly said to Du Chen when he heard the roller skating rink that he had also played roller skates twice. At present, there is no place dedicated to roller skating rinks in the city. Everyone just finds a flat ground to skate and have fun, but it has not yet become large-scale.
"Next, I'm going to ask you how much money you have. Buying roller skates in bulk doesn't cost much, but your venue has to be big, right? It has to be at least a thousand square meters. Otherwise, no one will be able to play freely, and it'll be dangerous if there are too many people!"
Du Chen carefully explained to Li Dewen the precautions of the roller skating rink.
"There are no other problems. I think you can handle those troubles on your own. There is no need for me to remind you!"
