"Pfft~!"

There was a soft sound in the quiet courtyard.

In fact, Zhou Bowen had tried very hard to hold it back~ but in the end he still couldn't hold it in.

Fortunately, he turned his head in time, so the jasmine tea in his mouth did not spray onto Chen Li opposite.

"How much more?"

"Two million dollars?"

Zhou Bowen has always regarded himself as a Confucian businessman, so he usually deliberately thinks about his image when dealing with unfamiliar people.

But today, he really couldn't hold himself any longer!

If it was two million Chinese coins, he could actually understand it.

Although the ideal fried chicken restaurant's plate is not big, the potential is there.

If there are investors who are really looking for investment projects, then Ideal Fried Chicken is undoubtedly a good choice.

But investing is not blind!

Although the ideal fried chicken chain has great potential, it is still just a small brand selling fried chicken.

Even though Ideal Fried Chicken has good potential, $2 million is a bit exaggerated.

Not to mention the investment, is the entire Ideal Fried Chicken worth two million dollars now? So.

"Did you sell the ideal fried chicken?"

In Zhou Bowen's view, the ideal fried chicken plate is too small, and even if someone invests, it cannot be priced at two million US dollars.

But there is no need for Chen Li to lie about this kind of thing, because the two shareholders Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli must be notified of this matter.

At this moment, Zhou Bowen really wanted to call his daughter over and ask if Zhou Xiaoli knew about this.

Of course, before that, Zhou Bowen wanted to figure out one more thing.

Is the two million US dollars an investment or a purchase?

Because two million US dollars is not a small number, the only possibility Zhou Bowen can think of is that Chen Li sold the entire Ideal Fried Chicken.

You might even need to go to a chicken farm!

Although in Zhou Bowen's opinion, even the fried chicken restaurant and chicken farm combined are not worth two million US dollars.

But if the two million US dollars is true, then this is probably the only explanation!

But if he really wants to sell ideal fried chicken, Chen Li should inform Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli first, right?

"No~!"

"How could I possibly sell the fried chicken restaurant?"

"It took a lot of effort for me to develop the fried chicken restaurant to its current scale. It is definitely impossible to sell it."

Chen Li put down the teacup in his hand and expressed his position clearly.

"Not sold? But for two million US dollars."

"Based on the current valuation of Ideal Fried Chicken, how many shares are you going to give out?"

"Xiao Chen~! Don't blindly look at the amount when accepting investment."

"If you give away too many shares, you will lose the management rights of the company."

"In this case, you may be kicked out at any time!"

Although Zhou Bowen felt that Chen Li could not understand this truth, he still reminded him.

This is mainly because Chen Li is a young man. When young people face the temptation of money, they choose to ignore risks. This kind of thing is actually not impossible.

After all, that’s two million dollars!

Zhou Bowen claims to be worth billions, but if you asked him to immediately come up with $2 million, he really wouldn't be able to come up with it.

Being engaged in real estate these days sounds very high-end, but in fact, whoever is in this industry knows it.

Zhou Bowen has no shortage of houses, land and even shops, but he really doesn't have much cash.

It’s not that there’s no money, it’s that most of the money is spent on projects.

As far as domestic real estate companies are concerned these days, it can be said that none of them has sufficient cash flow.

There is no way~ Real estate development is indeed very profitable, but the cost of this thing is also there.

This cost is not just the cost of commercial development, but also other invisible expenses. Those things are the most helpless and troublesome.

Two million US dollars may seem like just over ten million at first glance, but this is real cash flow.

With more than 10 million in cash, there is a lot that can be done.

Especially for today's ideal fried chicken restaurant, with this kind of money, it will definitely be even more powerful!

It's a pity that there is no free lunch in the world, and God will not drop the pie.

If someone takes out 2 million US dollars of real money, they must get back more benefits.

And with today's ideal fried chicken, I'm afraid that I have to give all my belongings to the other party, right?

"Well~Thank you Uncle Zhou for reminding me!"

"But this investment will not affect my management rights, because the two million US dollars invested...!"

"I earned it myself."

When Chen Li said this, he was actually not calm. After all, he was a little confused by the million-dollar check that Zhou Bowen took out.

But it was precisely because he was a little confused that Chen Li's tone seemed a bit dull at this moment.

So bland that in Zhou Bowen's eyes, when Chen Li mentioned the two million US dollars at this moment, it seemed a bit of an understatement!

Yundanfengqing and understatement are two different words, but sometimes, the meanings expressed by these two words are quite close.

then

"Gudong~!"

There was no tea in his mouth this time, so Zhou Bowen didn’t need to hold it in~ But this time, Zhou Bowen still swallowed!

In fact, Zhou Bowen at this time seemed a little unfamiliar with the world.

But in fact, it was because Chen Li was so shocked at this moment.

How old is Chen Licai? He has just turned twenty!

At this age, Chen Li was able to create a chain of fried chicken restaurants and a chicken farm, which surprised Zhou Bowen.

As a result, Chen Li now opened his mouth and said that he had transferred two million dollars and it was still US dollars!

Isn’t this bitch nonsense?

Hey, be polite!

Subconsciously, Zhou Bowen almost lost his temper and revealed his true colors!

After reminding himself to pay attention to his image, Zhou Bowen's second reaction was that Chen Li was bragging and he was still a super hotshot!

Given the profitability of Ideal Fried Chicken, it is impossible for Chen Li to make that much money.

And Chen Li was talking about U.S. dollars. That’s not to say that it’s impossible for a fried chicken restaurant to make U.S. dollars. After all, foreigners may go there to spend money, but two million U.S. dollars. That’s bullshit!

The U.S. dollar, according to today’s official exchange rate, is about 1:8.2!

But this is the official exchange rate. In fact, due to the country’s foreign exchange control, this thing has even been speculated to 1:12 privately.

Of course, this kind of behavior is illegal, but it also shows that the US dollar can be regarded as hard currency at this moment.

Two million US dollars! If Chen Li didn't have any background in his family, then the only possible source of this money would probably be from abroad.

But what is Chen Li’s identity? A college student!

Why did a college student earn two million US dollars abroad?

Zhou Bowen's idea actually reflects a problem at this time in 1999: informatization is not transparent enough!

If it were twenty years later, when Yuanzheng and Xiaoma Technology held a press conference, it is estimated that relevant information about Xiaoma Technology would have been directly exposed on the Internet.

At that time, not only the information of Ma Xiaoyun, the head of Xiaoma Technology, will appear on the Internet, but also the information of Chen Li, the major shareholder, will also be checked!

But in 1999, except for those in Internet-related industries, few people paid attention to who the shareholders of Xiaoma Technology were.

After all, this is an era where even a computer bug like the Y2K bug can be hyped as a doomsday crisis. People may be more concerned about whether the Y2K problem itself will be solved.

Just like Zhou Bowen, he had actually seen news in newspapers and media before about the Y2K problem being solved by a domestic technology company.

But in fact, he has not even paid attention to Ma Xiaoyun, the CEO of Xiaoma Technology, let alone Chen Li, who did not appear in these reports.

Therefore, Zhou Bowen did not know that Chen Li was responsible for solving the Y2K problem, nor did he know that Chen Li had made a lot of money abroad.

And Chen Li didn't hide anything about it, because this thing couldn't be hidden at all.

Many people around Chen Li actually knew about this, but what they didn't know was how much money Chen Li made.
