Chapitre 107: Chapter 107 Believe in You
"Definitely!"
Zhou Chen calmly picked up the teapot to pour tea for Wang Liqun.
When the teacup was seven-tenths full, Wang Liqun tapped on the table and continued to ask, "How much can we earn?"
While pouring tea for himself, Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know. It should be quite a lot though."
The mobile phone factory had just started, so he didn't dare to be too certain.
Moreover, if he told Wang Liqun about the expected profits he had in mind, it would only shatter Wang Liqun's worldview.
Wang Liqun licked his lips and asked tentatively, "Why don't I invest in your mobile phone factory instead? The risk of investing in the fishery industry is too high. If your prediction is wrong, we could lose everything."
Zhou Chen said in a composed manner, "I want to be the sole investor in the mobile phone factory. You must invest in the fishery industry. First, it's for making money, and second, it's to recoup the economic losses in HuXiang Province."
Wang Liqun sighed and said, "If things are really as you said, wouldn't we be making money from a national disaster?"
The people would suffer from the cold wave.
Yet they themselves were going to get rich by hoarding fish?
The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched violently. "If this can be considered making money from a national disaster, then someone has to do it!"
No one would believe such an unfounded prediction.
Should he reveal his identity as a reborn person?
He'd probably be sent to a mental hospital!
Taking a step back, the price of the fish he hoarded would be determined according to the market price. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, who would criticize him for making money from a national disaster?
"Alright, I'm in!"
"I'll go back and discuss it with my third sister first. I don't even know if I can persuade her..."
Wang Liqun stood up, holding his wallet.
Zhou Chen also stood up: "I'll see you off!"
The two of them came downstairs, and Wang Liqun got into his car.
Zhou Chen asked with a smile: "Where's your new driver?"
Wang Liqun said casually: "You said there was something wrong with him, so I fired him!"
"I was just guessing. I'm not even sure if it's true or not!"
"I believe you..."
Wang Liqun picked up his sunglasses, put them on, and then started the engine and drove away.
Zhou Chen watched the Mercedes-Benz disappear into the distance, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Wang Liqun was indeed a friend worth getting to know better. If he wanted to make money with Zhou Chen, he had to have complete faith in him.
Although he had doubts about Zhou Chen just now, that was the normal reaction of a regular person.
Zhou Chen went to the bank and transferred one hundred thousand yuan to Lao Zhou's account.
One hundred thousand yuan was quite a lot in 2004.
It could even buy a second-hand house in Jiang County.
Both of his parents were honest people.
If he transferred too much money, they might start overthinking things all day long.
After walking out of the bank, Zhou Chen sent a text message to Lao Zhou.
[Dad, here's 100,000 yuan for you to subsidize the family expenses. You can eat and drink as you like, and it's okay to go traveling. Don't always think about saving money. I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to you every month from now on!]
After sending the message, Zhou Chen hailed a taxi on the roadside: "Master, to Laidi Mobile Phone Factory in Shigu County!"
"Fifteen yuan!"
"Okay, let's go!"
As soon as Zhou Chen got into the taxi, he received a call from Lao Zhou.
He had wanted to reject the call at first, but after thinking about it, he felt it was necessary to explain, so as to prevent Lao Zhou from losing sleep at night.
"Dad..."
"Where did you get that 100,000 yuan from?"
"Didn't you say that the studio could earn twenty to thirty thousand yuan a month? It's been less than ten days since the school started. How could you get so much money?"
Zhou Guangming's tone was full of worry.
Zhou Chen coughed dryly twice and said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, I picked up a painting in an antique store some time ago and sold it for more than 800,000 yuan after reselling it!"
"Eighty... more than 800,000 yuan?"
Zhou Guangming was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold his mobile phone steadily.
He had never seen so much money in his life even though he had worked hard for most of his life.
The deposit in his savings account had always been maintained in three digits.
Now, hearing that Zhou Chen had earned 800,000 yuan, he felt as if he was still asleep.
"Son... you... you're not lying to me, are you?"
Zhou Guangming's mouth was dry and his tongue was tied when he spoke.
That wasn't 80,000 yuan, but 800,000 yuan.
Probably even his eldest brother Zhou Guanghua couldn't come up with that much money.
Zhou Chen knew his father would be shocked, so he explained seriously: "When have I ever lied to you? I said I could get into Jiangzhou University, and didn't I get in?"
Zhou Guangming's throat was dry. He picked up the water glass from the coffee table with a trembling hand and drank some water.
"Old Zhou, are we really not going to work at Shengda?"
He Ying walked in from outside with the freshly washed clothes at this moment. Seeing Old Zhou's hands shaking, she thought something was wrong with his health and was so scared that the washbasin fell to the ground: "Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
"Dad, I have to get back to work now. I earned all that money honestly. Just use it as you like. Don't feel any pressure, okay?"
Hearing his mother's voice, Zhou Chen was afraid that his mother would question him again soon, so he quickly hung up the phone.
He Ying asked nervously: "Is there something wrong with your hands?"
Zhou Guangming shook his head and showed He Ying the text message about the balance change on his phone.
"This... this is..."
He Ying was dumbfounded when she saw the long string of numbers. Then she snatched the phone and started counting.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands..."
"Oh my god, 100,000 yuan?"
"Where did this money come from?"
He Ying stared fixedly at Zhou Guangming.
She finally understood why her husband's hands were shaking.
"It's from our son!"
Zhou Guangming looked worried and then told He Ying what Zhou Chen had just said.
After hearing Zhou Guangming's explanation, He Ying asked with a penetrating gaze, "Do you believe it?"
First, he was lucky in the game and made tens of thousands by selling equipment.
Now he's made eight hundred thousand by picking up a bargain.
Has all the good luck been taken by their son?
Zhou Guangming subconsciously shook his head.
But in the next second, he was as firm as iron: "I believe our son!"
Just as Zhou Chen said, there should be basic trust between father and son.
He Ying sat blankly on the sofa, lowering her head and sighing: "I hope I'm just overthinking it!"
...
On the other side.
After Wang Liqun returned to the Wang Family Mansion, he immediately contacted Wang Shanshan.
On the coffee table in the mansion's garden were placed tea, coffee, and fruit plates.
Wang Shanshan was wearing an elegant purple long dress today.
Next to her was sitting a gentle man with glasses.
This man was Ma Xuebing, Wang Shanshan's high school deskmate, whose nickname was Shaobing.
After graduating from university, with the support of his family, Ma Xuebing opened a winery. Now he is also a billionaire.
Ma Xuebing picked up the teacup and took a gentle sip, then said, "I can invest two hundred million!"
As soon as these words came out, both Wang Liqun and his sister Wang Shanshan looked at Ma Xuebing in surprise.
Wang Liqun had already told the two of them about Zhou Chen asking him to invest in building greenhouse sheds for the fishery business.
Wang Shanshan was still hesitating, but unexpectedly Ma Xuebing was the first to express his stance.
"Shaobing, isn't this too hasty of you?"
"I haven't even made a decision yet!"
Wang Shanshan put down the coffee in her hand and said.
Ma Xuebing pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a slight smile, "Well, I'll invest as much as you do. If you don't invest, then neither will I."
Wang Shanshan looked hesitant and said, "Second Brother, do you really want to take this gamble?"
According to what Zhou Chen said about the winter cold wave and building greenhouse sheds, they would have to invest at least one billion in total.
Investing two hundred million was already her limit. If she was not careful, she could lose everything.
Moreover, the second brother's assets were estimated to be just over two hundred million. He was going to bet all the efforts of these years on this.
"Fortune favors the bold. I believe in that kid Zhou Chen. If he dares to say it, I dare to do it!"
Wang Liqun showed his determination in a firm tone.
Wang Liqun showed his determination in a firm tone.
Seeing that her second brother had made up his mind, Wang Shanshan also said boldly, "Alright, then I'll take this gamble with you. Anyway, we're still young. If it doesn't work out, we can always start all over again!"
Since her second brother, who had always been cautious in the business world, had said so, she couldn't let him look down on her.
Wang Liqun said with a worried look, "Zhou Chen can only invest one hundred million. Even if the three of us each contribute two hundred million, it'll only be around seven hundred million in total. Where are we going to find the remaining three hundred million?"
