Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. The roller skating rink had been sold out, and the price was 5,000 yuan more than Du Chen had expected.
On the other hand, Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao also began their hard tutoring life. Comrade Lao Du took some time to go to the school and brought some "local specialties" to the head teacher. By the way, he talked about the fact that Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao did not go to evening self-study classes. When the head teacher heard that Comrade Lao Du had hired a tutor for Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao, he readily agreed that the two no longer had to go to evening self-study classes.
On Sunday, Du Chen took some time out to sit down and have lunch with Li Dewen in order to discuss what to do next.
"Du Chen, the roller skating rink has been sold. How do we divide the money?"
At the dinner table, Li Dewen asked Du Chen.
"I'll take 30,000, and you can decide how to divide the remaining 35,000."
Du Chen thought about it and came up with the simplest and most direct method.
"Okay, I'll arrange it then! Du Chen, today's money sharing is just a side note. I mainly want to ask you if you've found a new project. What should we do next?"
Li Dewen took a sip of his wine and asked Du Chen again. Xiami lowered his head and ate quietly, not expressing any opinions, just listening to the conversation between Li Dewen and Du Chen.
"Brother Li, don't just ask me, do you have any ideas yourself?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen while eating. He also wanted to see if Li Dewen had any other ideas.
"Hey, what ideas do I have? I'm content just to follow you and continue drinking soup. I'm just waiting for your advice!"
Li Dewen knew his own limitations. Although he had some money in his hands, he didn't dare to spend it recklessly. He just waited for Du Chen to take him out to play.
"Now I have some clues, but I need to think about it again. This investment is probably quite large, so I have to make sure everything is safe!"
Du Chen thought about it and decided to give Li Dewen a hint first so that he could be mentally prepared and avoid any dirty thoughts in Li Dewen's mind.
"Oh, how big is this investment? What's the return?"
When Li Dewen heard that the investment was quite large, instead of backing off, he asked Du Chen excitedly. He also understood that large investments would bring high returns. Originally, opening a roller skating rink was just a small business, but he and his subordinates made a lot of money. Moreover, now that Du Chen was talking about a large investment, how much money would he make!
"If I invest, I could probably get 20 or 30! The returns are hard to predict. It might be a little difficult at first, but it won't be any different in the future. Besides, this is a long-term project. If I do it right, I'm guaranteed a 10-year return!"
Du Chen's words were also vague. He refused to say what he was going to do. He just talked about investment and returns in general.
"Du Chen, tell me, you're making me really itchy. What project is it? Tell me!"
Li Dewen felt as if he was being scratched by a cat, so itchy that he didn't even bother to drink his wine and kept asking Du Chen questions.
"Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say for sure about this vague thing right now. Besides, I need to ask around to see if there's any equipment or something like that. Without the equipment I need, everything I say now is nonsense! Just wait a little longer!"
Although Li Dewen was scratching his head anxiously, and Xiami was also listening intently to see if he could get any inside information, Du Chen just refused to give in and said nothing.
"Hey, Du Chen, you're so annoying when you only finish your sentences! It makes me lose the appetite for drinking!"
Li Dewen complained in a grumbling tone.
"Okay, if I can confirm it, I will definitely tell you the first time, but you should prepare the money yourself! Don't say that I won't take you to play when the time comes!"
Li Dewen was feeling itchy and was stuck in between, while Du Chen continued to eat calmly.
"By the way, Brother Li, I haven't asked about it for a long time. How is Kiki's tattoo shop doing now?"
Du Chen suddenly thought of Kiki's tattoo shop that he had invested in. He didn't expect to make much money, but tattooing was his hobby. Although he didn't dare to get a tattoo, it didn't prevent him from appreciating it. He just regarded it as some pocket money.
"You know what, Kiki's got some skills! Business now has to be booked in advance. The roller skating rink just sold out, so Kiki has to find a new shop. He used to save on rent at the roller skating rink, but now he has to pay an extra fee."
"Really? It seems Kiki is quite famous now. Do we still need to make an appointment?"
Du Chen asked with great interest. He hadn't paid attention to these things for a long time since he entered the third year of junior high school. Most of his energy was still focused on studying. Now that they were chatting, he asked a few more questions.
"Hehe, in the gangster circle, Kiki is quite famous. At first, I was the one who introduced some clients to Kiki, and later those gangsters came to him on their own after hearing about him. Kiki basically works from morning till night, tattooing people. Several of our brothers have had their bodies tattooed by Kiki."
"That's right. When I have time one day, I'll talk to Kiki and find him a store that's more like it. And you can tell Kiki not to worry too much. I'll give him some advice then!"
Du Chen suddenly had an idea and thought of the word "leek". Leeks are good, there is always another crop after each one is harvested. If this thing succeeds, he can make a lot of money. Du Chen began to secretly calculate in his mind.
"Xia Mi, why didn't you say a word today? You were just busy eating. Are you hungry or is something on your mind?"
Li Dewen was a little drunk. Looking at Xiami who was silent, he started chatting with her again.
"Boss, I don't have anything to do. I'm just wondering if you and Brother Chen can let the brothers participate in the business this time?"
Xiami thought about it and decided to speak out what was in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Li Dewen looked at Du Chen, wanting to see what Du Chen thought.
"Brother Li, don't look at me. This has nothing to do with me! I will definitely own more than half of the shares this time. After all, the idea is mine, and the bulk of the money is also mine! You guys can handle the rest on your own! I won't be involved!"
Du Chen always likes to say ugly things upfront. Seeing Li Dewen looking at him, Du Chen didn't want to get involved in the affairs between Li Dewen and his younger brother. After stating his bottom line, he let him decide the rest.
After hearing Du Chen's words, Xiami also looked at Li Dewen. He wanted to see what Li Dewen thought.
"What the hell, if Du Chen doesn't object, I certainly won't object either. Besides, I can't afford to play with Du Chen myself. We brothers can discuss it directly when the time comes. Don't worry, there will definitely be money to be made by everyone! Then we can all pay together to continue to cling to Brother Chen's thighs!"
Li Dewen said to Xiami with a smile and even made a joke at the end.
"Okay, listen to your boss! Then we'll all cling to Brother Chen's thighs together!"
