"Du Chen, I'll do whatever you say. I don't have a clue at all right now!"
When Li Dewen heard the opportunity Du Chen mentioned, he immediately asked Du Chen.
"Xiaomi, did you go to test the water quality last time I asked you to?"
Du Chen did not answer Li Dewen's question, but turned to ask Xiami.
"Brother Chen, we did the test, and we laminated the test report just as you said. We also took photos and printed them in color!"
Xiami answered Du Chen's questions honestly and wrote down everything Du Chen told him in a small notebook.
"Okay, Xiaoxia. Remember to prepare those test reports tomorrow. Find some time to make a bigger sign and hang it in the water plant office so people can see the quality of our water!"
Du Chen instructed Xiami.
"Du Chen, you haven't told me what opportunity you'll seize tomorrow!"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'm telling you this: if the village head goes there tomorrow, you can take him around the water purification equipment production area and introduce him to it. In short, just tell him how awesome it is! Then let him see our water quality test report! Tell him how good our water is and how good it is for your health! You can brag, right?"
After taking a bite of the dish, Du Chen taught Li Dewen how to fool people.
"When the time comes, you will represent our company to deliver a batch of water dispensers to the town government. You don't need too many. Just ask around in the more important offices and departments and send water dispensers to some of them. They'll be free!"
Du Chen said to Li Dewen.
"Okay, no problem! I'll send some water dispensers to the township government as you requested!"
Li Dewen agreed readily.
"Hey, Brother Li, you're not going to talk about compensation this time?"
Du Chen teased Li Dewen, remembering that when the roller skating rink just opened with half-price admission, Li Dewen was always reluctant.
"Hey, after studying with you for such a long time, I must have made some progress! And all the money I spent today will be doubled back by then!"
Li Dewen said to Du Chen with a smile.
"Brother Li, you're so good at this. Now you understand everything. Then let's do as we agreed today. When the time comes, we'll send the gifts. What the hell, we'll also send a water dispenser to the village head's house."
Du Chen turned around and said to Xiami.
"I understand, Brother Chen. I will pay attention when the time comes!"
Xiami nodded to show that he understood.
"Brother, Sister Miaomiao, do you have any questions?"
Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao had been listening to the conversation attentively and had hardly touched the food. Du Chen saw that they were indeed curious, so he asked them and promised to explain if they had any questions.
"Chenchen, what water plant are you talking about? And what about the water dispenser?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen curiously.
"Brother, Sister Miaomiao, Brother Li and I invested in a water plant in Shangqiao Village. Next to Shangqiao Village is the Wanquan River. We purify the water from the Wanquan River, filtering out all the impurities and substances that are harmful to the body. Then, after disinfection, we can can it and make large barrels of bottled water. The water dispenser and bottled water are a set. You just plug the bucket directly into the dispenser. If you want hot water, you get hot water. If you want cold water, you get cold water."
Du Chen explained the bottled water dispenser at the water plant to Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao.
"That sounds good, but will anyone buy a water dispenser? I hear it's not cheap, is it?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen curiously again.
"My main target now is not individuals. I am thinking about selling to companies and enterprises first."
Du Chen directly expressed his thoughts to Li Dewen and Xiami.
"Brother Li, the township head is coming tomorrow and you have to get this done! Once you take the first step, the rest will be much easier! There are so many departments and units in the township, they are all ready-made clients! When the time comes, we can spend the money when it's time! Do you understand what I mean?"
Du Chen turned around and said to Li Dewen.
"I guarantee that I'll complete the task. You've already told me the method, and I'll just follow your instructions. I'm sure there won't be any mistakes!"
Li Dewen understood what Du Chen meant, and he really liked his current position. If he were asked to stay in the factory all day, he wouldn't be able to stay there.
"Brother Chen, how do we set the price? We haven't decided how much a bucket of water costs yet! And how do we deliver water from the water dispenser? You should give us some advice!"
Seeing that Li Dewen had made all the arrangements, Xiami was still completely clueless about the matters under his jurisdiction, so he hurriedly asked Du Chen for some advice.
“How much does a bucket of water cost?”
Du Chen thought about it and asked Xiami.
"I calculated the cost. Between the electricity bill and the equipment depreciation, a bucket of water costs about 50 cents!"
Xiami thought for a moment and said to Du Chen.
"What about the water bill? You didn't calculate the water bill?"
Du Chen asked with a frown.
"Du Chen, this is what we're talking about. Didn't we invest in a water plant in Shangqiao Village? My uncle went to the township government and negotiated a deal with them. We'll pay Shangqiao Village 20,000 yuan in management fees every year..."
Li Dewen interrupted at this time.
"Well, I know about this. You told me about it at the time, and I agreed. It has nothing to do with the water bill, right?"
Du Chen continued to ask Li Dewen.
"I'm not sure what happened exactly, but my uncle negotiated with the township government and got a waiver of all water charges for the first year!"
Li Dewen said to Du Chen with some pride.
"What about next?"
Du Chen continued to ask Li Dewen.
"My uncle said that next year's combined management fees will total 50,000! We don't have to worry about the rest!"
Li Dewen told Du Chen the truth. Du Chen frowned when he heard it.
"Brother Li, I don't know what happened and I don't want to know, but you must make sure that nothing will happen to me in the future! Don't worry about this department and that department coming to cause trouble! You have to think about the consequences for me!"
Seeing that Du Chen was serious, Li Dewen thought about it and felt that what Du Chen said made sense, so he nodded seriously and said to Du Chen.
"I understand. I'll take some time to have a good chat with my uncle tomorrow!"
"Brother Li, it's good that you understand! We are doing a legitimate business, and this business is a long-term livelihood. Don't let these little things cause problems later! And remember, you must pay me the taxes you owe. Don't evade taxes!"
Du Chen was afraid that Li Dewen and Xiami would end up in big trouble because of some petty gains, so he had to say the ugly things in advance.
"Understood, Brother Chen. I will definitely keep a record of the accounts!"
Xiami said to Du Chen.
"It's not just a matter of bookkeeping. Let's hire an accountant when the time comes!"
Du Chen thought about it and decided that it would be safer to hire an accountant.
