Chen Ling said that there was no record in the diary of the reason why the knife loaner came to Chen's house, but she heard from her grandma that it was because it was too mysterious and unbelievable.
Grandpa Chen Ling died early. When he took over the Chen family, Mr. Chen was still very young. He was not as experienced as he is now. He was just a young and frivolous boy, so he suffered a lot when he took over the family business. Mrs. Chen was a woman, so she did not
Knowing this, the subsequent marriage was also because of this.
But the situation did not change much after Mr. Chen married Lin Zhen. The Lin family's help was limited. The Chen family was slowly declining, and the economy was getting worse and worse.
Just when Mr. Chen was in a state of despair, a knife dealer suddenly appeared. His name was Liu Xilin. He came to Chen's house carrying a sack of kitchen knives.
The Chen family has also heard of the legend of the knife-borrower, but it is all an old feudal tradition, and the knife-borrower has almost disappeared in modern times, and no one has ever seen it again.
Mr. Chen originally wanted to drive him away. A few broken kitchen knives are worth a lot of money. Who cares?
But at this time, Liu Xilin made a prediction that housing prices would skyrocket in the next two years. If the prediction did not come true, then this kitchen knife would be given to Mr. Chen.
But once it is realized, Liu Xilin will come back to get the money for the kitchen knife, one million for a kitchen knife, not even a penny less.
After hearing this, Mr. Chen secretly clicked his tongue. This kitchen knife costs one million. Could it be that he is a lunatic? But it was this abnormality that attracted Mr. Chen's attention.
Anyway, the money was given after the fact, so he wouldn't lose anything, and he really wanted to know whether the people who borrowed knives on credit were so accurate in their predictions?
After thinking about it, Mr. Chen asked for a kitchen knife. The kitchen knife was an ordinary kitchen knife, nothing special. Mr. Chen hung it in the kitchen, but it was of no use.
After Liu Xilin disappeared, Mr. Chen invested in real estate. Unexpectedly, the house prices skyrocketed, and the speculation became bigger and bigger. Mr. Chen made a lot of money. Two years later, Liu Xilin appeared on time, and the prophecy was successful. He came to ask for money.
The house prices have risen extremely horribly in the past two years. Mr. Chen has made billions. For him, one million is simply pocket money.
But Mr. Chen is a weirdo. He may be born with the attributes of a laozi. Another point is that he is extremely insidious. He wants to use Liu Xilin as a cash cow, so he didn’t give him the money to buy the knife!
After giving the money, the cash cow ran away. Why would Mr. Chen let him go? He wanted to keep the credit card holder in his hands and slowly use it.
Not only did Mr. Chen not give the money, he also said that he would continue to give the knife on credit and pay it together in the future.
Liu Xilin did not get angry, but reminded Mr. Chen that if he did not pay the money as agreed, he would be punished, and that it was not impossible for him to continue to borrow the knife on credit, but the cost of buying the knife would be doubled!
If his next prediction fails, both kitchen knives will be given to Mr. Chen, but if it comes true, Mr. Chen will give him 10 million.
Two kitchen knives cost 10 million, which is a sky-high price! No matter who this thing falls on, they will probably call him crazy, but Mr. Chen, who has tasted the benefits, knows that this business will not necessarily lose money, and it may also make a lot of money.
The bowl is full.
Mr. Chen agreed directly without thinking. Then he took Liu Xilin a kitchen knife and asked him to predict quickly. He hoped it would be helpful to the business and it would be just like last time.
Liu Xilin asked Mr. Chen to bring him a pen and a map this time. He marked a few locations on it, and then said that he could make a fortune by building stores in these places, and the business would be booming.
After saying that, he left. Mr. Chen looked at the map and found that the locations marked by Liu Xilin were a bit remote. Although they were in the urban area, they were not in a busy city and there were not many people.
Anyone who has ever opened a store knows how important the flow of people is to a store. If you open a store in a remote place, there will be no one left. It will probably close down within a few months. How can you make a fortune?
Mr. Chen had some doubts. Did the person who borrowed the knife cheat him? Because he didn't pay him, so he wanted to retaliate against him? Then he wouldn't be able to get the money even more. Moreover, it had been negotiated just now. He shouldn't go back on his word, right?
Mr. Chen was very confused, but he still chose to trust the credit card person, and he had already thought about it. Opening other stores in these places would definitely be a dead end, and the only way to survive was to open a hotel!
Because people who stay in the hotel come in to sleep and rest, they need a very quiet environment. Such a remote place is just right. Moreover, this place is also part of the urban area, so it is convenient to go anywhere.
Mr. Chen spent about a year building hotels in those places. What made him ecstatic was that the business of the hotel was very good. It was full almost every day. People who wanted to book rooms had to queue up. Mr. Chen once again
He made a lot of money, but the only misfortune was that Lin Zhen gave birth to a daughter at this time, Chen Ling.
Mr. Chen has always wanted a son to inherit the Chen family's legacy. The birth of his first child is a daughter, which is not good news for the Chen family.
But the hotel made a lot of money, and there were several hotels, which made Mr. Chen forget about this sadness. Another two years later, Liu Xilin appeared again, and he came to collect the money from the kitchen knife.
As promised before, two kitchen knives cost 10 million, and Liu Xilin took 10 million.
Although the money earned this time was not as much as real estate speculation, it was far more than 20 million. Paying someone 10 million was really not excessive at all. It even felt less. There was no credit card holder. I guess the Chen family at that time
Everything had collapsed. With Mr. Chen’s ability at that time, even the Lin family could not afford to support him, let alone himself. Mr. Chen’s business ability was slowly honed later.
But without Liu Xilin, the credit card holder, the Chen family would not be what it is today.
But Mr. Chen is born to be a strange old man, and he is also greedy. After these two predictions, Mr. Chen has determined that Liu Xilin is a money tree.
Since he is a cash cow, how could Mr. Chen let him go? It would be a disgrace to the Chen family if he didn't squeeze him dry.
The person who borrowed the knife on credit will leave after taking the money, and it is impossible to make any predictions, so the money to buy the knife must not be given to him!
Mr. Chen was the same as last time. Not only did he refuse to give the money, he also wanted another credit.
This time Liu Xilin was a little angry, but he did not have an attack. Instead, he suppressed it and gave another knife to Mr. Chen on credit. But the price increased again. If the prediction comes true this time, the three knives plus
The total money is 100 million.
Mr. Chen agreed without even thinking about it, because he knew that he could make money back, and in fact, 100 million was nothing.
This time Liu Xilin predicted diamonds, saying that diamonds would become potential stocks in the future and would sell better and better, and in more and more quantities. After saying this, he disappeared again.
Mr. Chen had no doubts and opened several jewelry stores without thinking. In addition to selling diamonds, there were also many jewelry stores.
Like the previous two times, Mr. Chen once again made a lot of money. The Chen family was completely stable in Mr. Chen's hands and even grew a lot.
