"Student Du Chen, I couldn't have imagined it either!"
After thinking for a while, Xiami raised his head and said to Du Chen in embarrassment.
Du Chen looked at Li Dewen and Xiami, thought for a while, and then said to them.
"Then you guys think about it! It's getting late today, and we've talked a lot, so I have to go home first!"
"Du Chen, wait a little longer, it's still early!"
Li Dewen looked at his watch and said to Du Chen.
"There's a parent-teacher conference this afternoon. My parents should be leaving soon, so I have to hurry back too!"
"How about this, Du Chen, this is our first time doing business too. Just tell us what you think. We're completely confused right now!"
Li Dewen spoke directly to Du Chen. He really couldn't understand all the twists and turns. Xiami nodded beside him. Seeing Li Dewen speak so directly, Du Chen thought for a moment and said to Li Dewen.
"Come on, sit down and let me talk to you briefly. Since you're planning to ask me to join you, if you can really run a good business and avoid causing trouble, I will also cooperate with you wholeheartedly! Since we cooperate, it will definitely make money for everyone!"
"Running an entertainment venue like a roller skating rink makes money pretty quickly. You can't charge by the hour at a roller skating rink. It's hard to handle so many people, so we just charge a lump sum. You can play as long as you want. Even if you have to stay at the roller skating rink all day long, we'll accept it!"
"Wouldn't that be a bit of a loss?"
Li Dewen said somewhat unwillingly.
"Brother, listen to what classmate Du Chen has to say first!"
Xiami interrupted Li Dewen quickly. He was listening intently, and with the boss's brain capacity, he didn't understand a thing!
Du Chen looked at Xiami with appreciation, then glared at Li Dewen.
"Let's not talk too much. Ten dollars per person, and there can be twenty to thirty people playing at the roller skating rink every day. How much do you think you can make in a year?"
"Ten yuan per person, twenty people would be two hundred yuan, a month..."
Li Dewen was counting on his fingers, while on the other side, Xiami had already figured it out.
"That's 72,000 a year!"
"What! Seventy-two thousand! That's so much!"
Li Dewen was shocked when he heard the price of 72,000.
"You haven't even factored in the workers' wages, water, and electricity bills!"
"Including me, there are ten people in total. If each person gets 500 yuan a month, that's 60,000 yuan a year! That only leaves 12,000 yuan!"
The more Li Dewen thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a disadvantage. He wanted to just give each person 400, but when he saw the expectant eyes of the younger brothers around him, he swallowed his words.
"This is just the minimum standard, and I have other ways to attract customers, which I definitely can't tell you now! So, how do we split the money?"
Du Chen said to Li Dewen calmly that opening a roller skating rink would definitely earn more than 70,000 yuan a year, so the profit would only be more than 10,000 yuan, so it would be better to go out and work.
"Du Chen, just tell me directly. The more you try to calculate, the more confused I become!"
Li Dewen said to Du Chen with a bitter face, while Xiami beside him seemed to be thinking about something.
"Forget it, forget it. I'll just say it straight! I'm investing 17,000. In the first year, I want a return of 80,000, including principal and interest! In the second year, I want a 35% net profit, and then every year thereafter, it will decrease by 5% until it reaches 10% and then it stops decreasing!"
What Du Chen said scared Li Dewen and Xiami. This was too scary. You have to know that this was 80,000, not 800 yuan!
"Du Chen, isn't this a bit too high?"
Li Dewen spoke to Du Chen with a sad face, and the younger brothers beside him also looked at Du Chen viciously. If their boss had not said anything, they would have started to beat Du Chen up long ago.
"Brother Li, I won't waste my time with you. I'll be frank. I have a reason for asking for 80,000! Think about it for yourselves!"
Du Chen didn't care about the vicious looks from Li Dewen's brothers around him. Instead, he picked up the Jianlibao and continued drinking.
"Could Du Chen be a little..."
"Boss, wait a minute, I want to ask Du Chen!"
At this time, Xiami suddenly interrupted.
"Okay, ask!"
Li Dewen took out a cigarette and lit it. He was confused now, so he decided to just leave it to Xiami who had a better brain.
"Student Du Chen, I want to hear your honest opinion. What do you estimate the annual net profit of the roller skating rink to be? I'm worried that the ten of us will have to pay you out of pocket to raise the 80,000 yuan!"
This is the problem Xiami is worried about now. They are not afraid of working for a year for nothing, but they are afraid that they will still owe Du Chen money after working for a year. After all, they have been the weaker party since the beginning of the negotiations.
"I won't tell you my estimate right now, and I don't dare to say how much you can earn, but 500 yuan a month for the ten of you shouldn't be a problem, which means 6,000 yuan per person a year!"
Du Chen said to Xiami with great confidence, and everyone on the side looked at Du Chen in surprise. According to Du Chen's calculation, the annual income of the roller skating rink must be at least 140,000. How is this possible?
"Student Du Chen, can you guarantee that each of us can earn 6,000 yuan a year?"
Xiami asked Du Chen, wanting a definite answer!
"You already said that business has its ups and downs. I definitely won't guarantee you six thousand dollars a year!"
Du Chen's rogue behavior made Xiami, who had always been relatively calm, feel a little itchy, not to mention the group of younger brothers around him.
"Student Du Chen, although we need your help, cooperation can only be based on mutual recognition, mutual respect, and fairness!"
Xiami couldn't help but say to Du Chen with emotion.
"Well, what the hell, you said that paragraph very well! Go on, then tell me what you think!"
After hearing what Xiami just said, Du Chen couldn't help but praise him.
"Okay, classmate Du Chen, since you agree with what I just said, then I will speak frankly!"
Du Chen nodded and signaled the other party to continue.
"Student Du Chen, I've already told you that we need your help, but we have to be fair, right? You said you want 80,000 yuan in returns for the first year, including principal and interest! Fine! We accept that! You said you can't guarantee us each a 6,000 yuan annual income, fine! We accept that too! So what can you guarantee? You can't just play dumb and not make any promises, and then we'll all be in your debt, right?"
Xiami said to Du Chen with a little emotion.
"Okay, I understand what you mean. What? You're saying that once we sign the agreement, it's all in my favor. If I lose money later, you'll still have to make up for the 80,000 yuan I lost, right?"
“Yeah, that’s right!”
"How about this, you asked me to give you some guarantees? No problem, let's sign a bet agreement! It depends on whether you dare to gamble!"
Du Chen said to Li Dewen and Xiami with a smile.
