“Ah, ah…”
Old Ding looked at the sweet smile of his little girl and was speechless for a moment.
"Dad, what do you think? You still have some private money? Does Mom know?"
Ding Miaomiao continued to ask Lao Ding.
"Ai, Miaomiao, private money, private money, how can we let Auntie Xiaojia know about it? If she knew, would it still be called private money?"
Du Bin came from the side to make a great assist.
"That's right, Dad. It seems Mom doesn't know that you have some private money."
Ding Miaomiao and Du Bin sang the same tune, and Old Ding's face turned green.
"Stop, stop! Miaomiao, look, you like photography now, don't you? So, when you get into college, dad will give you a SLR camera, okay? A better one than Chenchen's! Dad's private money is for your college education!"
Old Ding quickly said to Ding Miaomiao.
"Sister Miaomiao, Canon has released a new SLR camera. I looked at its specifications and I think it's great!"
At this time, Du Chen also joined in the fun.
"Really? Chenchen, if you think it's good, it must be good. Dad, why don't you buy me a Canon SLR camera?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Lao Ding with a smile.
"Du Chen, how much is this camera you mentioned?"
Old Ding was a little nervous, mainly because he was afraid of being tricked by Du Chen.
"It's not much, right? Only four or five thousand?"
When Lao Ding heard the price, he gritted his teeth. Although it was quite expensive, he could still accept it if he endured the pain.
"Chenchen, do I need to buy a lens for my camera? I remember you bought several lenses. Can your Canon lens be used?"
Du Bin didn't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and stabbed Lao Ding again. Lao Ding looked at Du Bin with a knife in his eyes after hearing this.
Du Chen looked at the two of them, lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, almost laughing. It was so funny.
"Du Chen, how much is that lens?"
Old Ding glared at Du Bin, then looked at the leaky cotton-padded jacket and then at himself. Old Ding had no choice but to ask Du Chen with gritted teeth.
"Uncle Ding, there are cheap and expensive lenses! I'll help you choose when the time comes!"
Du Chen finally felt guilty and gave Lao Ding a wink. After all, it was not easy for Lao Ding to hide some private money.
"Miao Miao, I'll give you a shot too!"
On the other side, Du Bin patted his chest and said to Ding Miaomiao.
Lao Ding felt that Du Bin was targeting him.
Comrade Lao Du was driving seriously and did not join in the conversation of the others. He was afraid that he would be hurt by mistake. However, his grinning mouth and the behavior of glancing back from time to time through the rearview mirror revealed that Comrade Lao Du seemed to be very happy.

"Brother Chen, the boss asked me to come over and ask you what we should do next. We've already discussed the water purifier. We've chosen a small water purifier according to your idea. If you think it's okay, the boss can come over and place an order."
Xiami suddenly appeared at the school gate and then suddenly appeared next to Du Chen. Du Chen felt that they were like an underground party meeting, which made Du Chen feel a little funny and embarrassed.
"As long as the water purification equipment is ordered, we can start by building a factory in the village. I'm sure the people in Longcheng will give you their opinions when you go there. What size factory should we build?"
"Well, they've told us everything and given us the blueprints. Their blueprints are for the most basic configuration. So, should we just find someone to start construction?"
Xiami asked Du Chen hesitantly. He was still very worried because he had never done these things before.
"Well, let's find someone to do the construction quickly and try to finish it all before it freezes!"
Du Chen was also a little anxious. After all, this was his first time making such a big investment. In his previous life, he opened a modification shop which started from a small shop and grew step by step to a big shop. This time he was going to expand it to such a big scale right from the start. Du Chen was a little unsure.
"By the way, how much is that water purification device?"
"Ninety thousand! I came back this time to discuss this with you. We only have a verbal agreement with the manufacturer, and the deposit hasn't been paid yet!"
"Oh, the price isn't cheap either! What about the production capacity?"
"They say it's about 3,500 liters of water an hour!"
Xiami remembers these data very clearly.
"A bucket of water is about 20 liters, so that's about 170 buckets of water an hour, which is plenty!"
Du Chen roughly calculated that it was enough for now, but there was no way to tell whether it was enough or not. They didn't have the money to buy more machines. This time he planned to pay 200,000 yuan himself, and Li Dewen might be able to chip in 100,000 yuan. The total investment would be about 30,000 yuan. By then, they would have to buy equipment, buckets, water dispensers, delivery vehicles, and most importantly, the factory building. All of these would cost money. After thinking about it, Du Chen felt a little overwhelmed and even regretted doing this.
"I don't quite understand this. Brother Chen, whatever you think is appropriate is fine."
Xiami didn't comment either, after all, he knew nothing about it.
"You guys should give it some thought. After all, I'm still in school and can't spend all my time on this. I'll be in high school next year, and I'll have even less time then. You can't possibly come to me for everything, right?"
Du Chen said to Xiami.
"What the hell, you should read more books if you have nothing to do. Your brain is useful, so learn more and read more! When you do well, I will give you dividends! From now on, you will be my spokesperson. Do you have the confidence?"
What Du Chen is worried about now is that he is too young and there is no one around him who can help him, so he is also afraid that Li Dewen will stab him in the back, so he can only tie Xiami to his side through interests.
"Don't worry! Brother Chen, I will definitely work hard!"
When Xiami heard Du Chen's words, his face turned red with excitement, not because of trust, but because Du Chen said there would be dividends.
"Well, work hard! Xiami, let me tell you, I'll sign a private agreement with you later. I'll give you 2% of the water plant's profit dividend every year! Your salary will be calculated separately! If the business is good in the future, I'll give you higher profits. You're the only one I can use now!"
"You're usually in charge of production and accounting, and leave sales to Brother Li. After all, Brother Li is a bit better at socializing than you. I hope you can handle the tasks I've assigned to you!"
As he spoke, Du Chen raised his hand and patted Xiami's shoulder. Du Chen had grown a lot in the past two years, and now he could finally pat Xiami's shoulder easily. If it were before, Du Chen would have to jump up to pat Xiami's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, just leave it to me!"
Xiami was really stimulated by the pie that Du Chen painted, and his head felt a little short of oxygen. In comparison, Du Chen was much more generous than Li Dewen.
"Okay, Xiami, then you should work harder! I still have time to guide you now, but my time will become less and less in the future. I hope you can grow up quickly! I hope that by the time I go to college, you can be independent and keep up with my pace!"
