"Du Chen, I'm not sure how many brothers are willing to come out and work. They seem to be quite happy staying at the water plant right now."
Li Dewen said to Du Chen somewhat embarrassedly.
"I also understand that it takes courage to go to a new place and start over. Not everyone is willing to fight for it. I understand that."
Du Chen nodded and said to Li Dewen.
"Du Chen, as long as you understand, I'll go back and ask those brothers if anyone is willing to come out and give it a try. But Du Chen, how many people do you plan to take?"
Li Dewen couldn't guarantee how many of his brothers would be willing to go to Beijing with Du Bin to develop their careers. After all, these brothers were about his age and were all of marriageable age. What would happen if they went to Beijing? They were unfamiliar with the place and had no one to introduce them to. Moreover, it was uncertain whether they could make money.
"It doesn't need to be too many. Two or three people are enough to set up the stall."
Du Chen thought about it and realized that he didn't need too many people at the beginning. Someone could help run errands and set up the stall, so he told Li Dewen that two or three people would be enough.
"Then I guess there won't be any problem."
Li Dewen breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Dewen was worried about this matter. First, he was worried that Du Chen wanted too many people and was afraid that not many brothers would be willing to go to Beijing with Du Chen. After all, it was starting from scratch, unlike now when everyone was staying in the water plant safely.
Secondly, Li Dewen was also worried that Du Chen would focus on the capital and no longer pay attention to the affairs of the water plant. However, Li Dewen had poured too much effort into the water plant, and Li Dewen did not want to see it decline.
"Okay, Brother Li, please take some time to ask the brothers, but there's no rush! It'll take another year or two anyway."
Du Chen said to Li Dewen.
"Okay, I'll ask the brothers as soon as possible."
Li Dewen nodded and agreed.
"Du Chen, do you have any good ideas?"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen again.
"What idea?"
Du Chen was confused and had no idea what Li Dewen wanted to express.
"I mean, are there any other good projects? Can we do some other business together?"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen expectantly, and even Kiki on the side looked at Du Chen curiously, wanting to hear if Du Chen had any good ideas.
"Why, a water plant isn't enough for you to deal with?"
Du Chen looked at Li Dewen and said with amusement.
"Hey, wouldn't it be better if I could make more money?"
Li Dewen said with a smile.
"Then tell me what you think?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen. He really didn't have any good ideas at the moment. He just wanted to help Comrade Lao Du open a 4S store so that Comrade Lao Du could relax and make money in the future.
"Du Chen, what do you think about us opening another roller skating rink?"
Li Dewen asked Du Chen with anticipation.
"Why, you can't forget this line of work!"
Looking at Li Dewen, Du Chen felt very funny. What's going on? Is this the obsession of a gangster?
"Hey, you can stand up right where you fell! And this industry makes money quickly!"
Li Dewen chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Let's put it this way. If you want to open up, let's make it more formal. You also need to find a spokesperson. Don't run it yourself. And you should take care of the necessary things and avoid making it a mess."
Du Chen thought about it and realized that this industry does make money quickly, and the social security has been getting better and better in recent years. There are not so many fights and disturbances like before. As long as the management is strict, we don’t cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble either!
"Spokesperson? Du Chen, what does that mean?"
Li Dewen was a little confused.
"Just like me, stay behind the scenes, and find someone reliable to help you manage it, understand?"
Du Chen explained to Li Dewen.
"Understood!"
Li Dewen immediately understood Du Chen's idea. Even if Du Chen didn't say it, he would do it. He was used to living in the sun, and he didn't want to get himself involved again.
"How about this? Let's go a little bigger this time and build a more formal arcade. We'll have some claw machines, game consoles, and dance machines. We won't have anything like horse racing machines or anything like that that invites gambling. If the roller skating rink isn't working, we'll have to forgo it. This time, we'll mainly target girls and children. What do you think?"
Du Chen and Li Dewen discussed that Li Dewen was becoming more and more mature, and had made a lot of money in recent years. Du Chen felt that his attitude towards Li Dewen needed to change, and he had to give Li Dewen some respect, otherwise sooner or later, their relationship would collapse, which was not what Du Chen wanted to see. After all, Li Dewen was quite competent as a tool.
While Du Chen was discussing this matter with Li Dewen, Li Dewen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Originally, he did whatever Du Chen said. Although his attitude was not tough, he still did not allow himself to question. But today, Du Chen suddenly respected his opinion. Li Dewen felt surprised and uneasy, but also quite happy.
"Du Chen, just do what you say. I'll listen to you!"
Li Dewen thought about it and said to Du Chen.
"Brother Li, you've grown a lot over the past few years. You've changed a lot. I haven't been involved in the management of the water plant in the later period, but haven't you been doing great as usual? So you need to have confidence in yourself and make changes!"
Since Du Chen has decided to change his attitude towards Li Dewen, he doesn't mind being nice to Li Dewen and changing his mindset. Du Chen's experience in opening a store is still sufficient for the time being.
"So, Brother Li, it's great that you have your own ideas now. There's no need to listen to me on everything. If you have any good ideas, we can discuss them together. I will respect your opinions."
Li Dewen was so overwhelmed with emotion after hearing what Du Chen said that he wanted to open his heart to Du Chen. He felt that Du Chen was so nice and believed in him so much.
"Du Chen, it's okay. I know what I am like. I'll do whatever you say!"
Li Dewen said excitedly.
"Hey, Brother Li, you don't have to be like this! Forget it, just change it slowly!"
Du Chen continued to PUA Li Dewen.
"Well, Brother Li, let me explain this to you. It's not that we shouldn't open a roller skating rink. I think, first of all, the venue requirements for a roller skating rink are quite large. And the current profits of roller skating rinks have been so low that these competitors have slashed the prices. If there's even a slight mismanagement, we won't make any money or even lose money, right?"
Du Chen analyzed this problem to Li Dewen bit by bit.
"That's right, Du Chen, you are right!"
"Look, with such a large venue, it would be great if we could do something else. For example, the claw machine I'm talking about now, it only takes a few minutes to make five or ten coins. And the cost? Just a little bit of electricity bill, right?"
Du Chen continued to ask Li Dewen.
"Wait, Du Chen, what kind of claw machine are you talking about? I've never seen one..."
Du Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Kiki.
"Brother Chen, I haven't seen it either..."
