"What kind of business, old things? No, if you have such a good thing, you will definitely not remember me."

"Hey, hey, Zhou Chen, am I this kind of person in your eyes?"

"Then over the years, I have asked you for so many things, but have you ever given them to me? Instead, you took several things from me."

"I took something from you, but I gave you money."

"Is writing an IOU also called giving money?"

"Then I will pay you back afterwards. Besides, you will be my brother-in-law soon. Do you still want to settle old scores with me?"

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Chen waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up and talk, I don't have time to be here with you."

Han Chunming then straightened his expression and said in a low voice: "I have a business recently, which is a batch of goods shipped from Guangdong Province. I plan to eat this batch of goods and then sell it to a shopper I know.

, According to my estimation, this purchase and sale can make at least a 40% profit."

Zhou Chen said: "That's good."

"Of course it's good, but the problem is, I don't have enough funds on hand now. I've borrowed part of it, but it's still short of part, so I came to you."

"Chunming, do you think too highly of me? Whenever you need money, you come to me. Am I a banker?"

Han Chunming smiled sheepishly: "In my eyes, you are the bank. I have never admired anyone. My master is one, and the second one is you. Zhou Chen, brother, I really can't do anything this time.

, I can only come here to beg you, please help me and give me some money."

"How much are you going to borrow?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Three to twenty thousand."

"Twenty thousand? Han Chunming, you are really loud. When you open your mouth, it's twenty thousand. Do you really think of me as a bank?"

Zhou Chen was really shocked by Han Chunming's lion's big mouth. It's 82 years now.

In the 1990s, households worth 10,000 yuan were still the envy of everyone, let alone in 1982. The purchasing power of 20,000 yuan now is almost the same as that of 2 million yuan in 20 or 30 years.

"No more than 20,000."

In fact, he still had 20,000 Zhou Chen, but if he gave it to Han Chunming, he would not have enough money left.

He is used to spending money lavishly. If he doesn't hold some money in his hand, he will feel a little uneasy.

After all, now he needs to spend money to buy antiques, not to mention his plan to buy a huanghuali post box from Su Meng, plus the funds needed to help his sister open a store, which all require money.

Han Chunming said 20,000, but he actually asked tentatively. When Zhou Chen said no, he didn't care.

"That ten thousand really can't be any less, otherwise we won't be able to afford it."

Zhou Chen said: "If it's ten thousand, I can borrow it, but there is no free lunch in the world, you know."

Han Chunming said without saying a word, "Of course, I understand. I will definitely not forget you when I make money. How about 10% interest?"

Zhou Chen gave him a straight look and snorted coldly: "With 10% interest, I might as well go to the bank and deposit it in the bank. I'll lend you 10,000 yuan and pay back 14,000 yuan later."

"Are you kidding me?"

Han Chunming jumped up anxiously and exclaimed: "I only earn this little in total. If I give it all to you, wouldn't it mean that my work was in vain?"

"Stop pretending in front of me. You don't just take my ten thousand, but what about your own capital? Do you think I don't understand what you are doing? In your line of work, the profits you make once or twice are not important. What's important is

The most important thing is to open up connections. Even if my money cannot help you make more money, it can help you expand your connections. This is what is more important to you."

Zhou Chen said calmly and calmly.

Han Chunming said with a sad face: "Brother, we don't bring this kind of food. Even if you eat meat, you have to leave some soup for your brother."

Zhou Chen ignored him and asked, "I'm asking you for the last time, do you want to borrow it or not?"

"borrow."

Han Chunming looked solemn and answered firmly.

Zhou Chen walked into the room, gave Han Chunming 10,000, and got him paper and pen.

"Brothers, let's settle the score clearly."

Needless to say, Zhou Chen didn't need to say this. Han Chunming was not prepared to refuse the debt. He picked up a pen and paper, wrote the IOU neatly, and then happily left with 10,000 yuan.

Investing money in Han Chunming is actually a very good choice, so that he doesn't have to worry and can make good returns.

However, you can't invest too much at one time, otherwise Han Chunming is a bold guy, and if he makes any dangerous business, he will be in trouble.

Moreover, this time Han Chunming used money to do business, which was also a good thing for Zhou Chen. As a result, Han Chunming had no money in his hands.

When Su Meng's father falls ill, even if Han Chunming wants to borrow money, it will definitely be difficult. In this way, he will be more sure to get the huanghuali post box.

Huang Feilong was worthy of being a top student in the Department of Economics at Peking University. With the travel expenses given to him by Zhou Chen, he visited many factories in the cities and counties around Yanjing that met Zhou Chen's conditions and chatted a lot with their managers.

Not to mention, being a Peking University student is really useful. When people heard that Huang Feilong was from Peking University, they were very enthusiastic and promised that if they bought goods from their factory, they would give them the cheapest price.

After running for more than twenty days, Huang Feilong looked darker and thinner, but he was in very good spirits. It seemed that he had gained a lot this time.

He reported to Zhou Chen what he had gained during this period, and said that the small commodity store Zhou Chen mentioned was really taking off, and asked Zhou Chen to let him join.

Zhou Chen did not refuse. He planned to open a store and let his sister Zhou Yi manage the store. Originally, he planned to be responsible for purchasing and shipping goods for a period of time.

But if Huang Feilong joins, it will save him a lot of things, and he can completely leave this part to Huang Feilong.

After living in the same dormitory for several years, Zhou Chen had a fairly clear idea of ​​who Huang Feilong was.

It cannot be said that he is absolutely trustworthy, but under the current circumstances, Huang Feilong still needs to rely on him, so he will definitely listen to him and not have any second thoughts.

As for the future, after the small commodity store opens and operates normally for a period of time, if Huang Feilong no longer wants to work, he can easily find a replacement at that time.

Now that the supplier has had some discussions, Zhou Chen will start looking for a storefront in the next period of time.

Fortunately, he has lived in Yanjing for many years and is very familiar with it. It is not difficult for him to find a door.

In just a few days, he found the facade and then found someone to start decorating it according to his design plan.

While Zhou Chen was busy opening the store, Su Meng's father's condition was finally diagnosed. Coincidentally, he was discovered by Han Chunming in the hospital.

Su Hongwen's illness put the entire Su family into a desperate situation. In order to treat Su Hongwen, they sold almost all the things they could sell at home, but there was still a huge gap between the tens of thousands of yuan in surgical treatment fees.

.

But Su Hongwen's illness really couldn't be delayed. Su Meng, her mother, and grandma were at home, sighing and thinking of solutions.

Liu Xueqin and Su Meng sat on chairs, silent. Grandma Su in the room took out the things she had packed at the bottom of the box and put them on the table.

"Xueqin, these are the rings and bracelets I packed at the bottom of the box. You can sell them."

Liu Xueqin quickly advised: "Mom, this isn't worth much, just keep it."

Grandma Su said anxiously: "You can sell it for a few bucks even if it's not worth anything. There's nothing you can do about it now. If you can scrape together a little bit, it's worth it."

Su Meng felt very sad when she saw her mother and grandmother getting angry because of her father's illness.

"Mom, didn't you say last time that the wooden box that Chunming gave me could be sold for some money? How about we give it a try and sell it to see how much we can get for it."

Liu Xueqin decisively refused: "That's not okay. That's Han Chunming's thing. I asked you to return it to him. But you haven't returned it yet and you still want to sell it. If Han Chunming finds out, you don't know what's going on behind the scenes."

What can you say about us? No."

Su Meng said: "Han Chunming gave it to me, and it is my thing. I am qualified to deal with it. I have the final say whether to sell it or not."

Liu Xueqin still shook her head: "This is not good, we can't do this."

However, Grandma Su was concerned about her son's life and said, "Xueqin, if you don't listen to Su Meng, we won't be able to do anything about it now."

"Right, Mom, you see grandma said so. Even if I sell the wooden box, Chunming won't know as long as you don't tell me."

Although Su Meng was also very reluctant to give up, compared to her father, a wooden box gift was nothing.

Liu Xueqin hesitated and said: "But even if you sell it, it will only be an extra thousand yuan, and the surgery fee is still far behind."

Su Meng said: "Didn't you say that one thousand yuan was just the price offered by that person? Maybe the thing cost more than that at all. We can talk to him and see if he is willing to pay a higher price."

Liu Xueqin said: "But mom doesn't understand this kind of thing."

Su Meng said: "I'm going to talk to him. Mom, don't you have his phone number? Let's call him first and ask him to come out and talk."

"Okay, I'll get you the phone."

…………

Zhou Chen had a busy day and when he got home, he saw Wu Jingui waiting at the door of his house.

"Old Wu, why are you here?"

"Zhou Chen, there's a letter from the Su family. It's a little girl named Su Meng. She said she wants to talk to me about the huanghuali post box."

When Zhou Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay, I've finally waited for this day."

"Come on, Lao Wu, let's go in and talk."

After listening to Wu Jingui's words, Zhou Chen realized that it was Su Meng who wanted to negotiate with Wu Jingui.

"It looks like they want to increase prices as we expected."
