Chapter 1294 News on the Yellow River Road, evil guests come to the door
"Youcheng, here are the Walkmans and cassettes I bought for you. There are English cassettes and pop song cassettes. Follow the instructions and learn by yourself."
The night he returned to Shanghai, Huang Youcheng happened to be at home, so Zhou Chen handed the Walkman he bought to Huang Youcheng.
Huang Youcheng happily took the Walkman and tape and shouted happily: "Thank you, brother."
Zhou Chen patted his head: "Why don't you thank me? Let's play with it."
Huang Youcheng immediately happily took the things and left.
Huang Fugui couldn't help nagging: "What are you buying for him? It looks very expensive at first glance. If you have this money, save it."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Isn't it just for spending the money you make? I not only bought it for Youcheng, but also bought you a gift."
He handed the box containing the watch to Huang Degui.
"You kid, why did you buy me something? Seriously."
He said it, but he naturally took it in his hand and opened it. With just one glance, he was dazzled by the golden Rolex.
He stared blankly for twenty seconds without regaining his consciousness.
"Uncle, what do you think of this watch? Do you like it?"
Zhou Chen's voice finally woke Huang Degui up. Huang Degui pointed at his watch and asked, "This must not be cheap, how much does it cost?"
"More than fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars."
"More than fifty thousand?"
Huang Degui's hands trembled and he almost dropped his watch. He hurriedly held it steady with both hands.
"More than 50,000 yuan, Ah Chen. If you buy a watch with more than 50,000 yuan, are you out of your mind?"
Zhou Chen smiled, picked up the watch, and put it on Huang Degui's wrist.
"I don't have any brains. Isn't it just over 50,000 yuan? I made a lot of money when I went to Hong Kong this time. This watch is just the beginning. You can enjoy it when you grow old."
Huang Degui hurriedly tried to take off the watch: "No, no, I don't care how much money you make, I'm just a cook, and I can't afford to wear a watch worth more than 50,000 yuan. It's a waste to give it to me. Take it and return it quickly."
Return the money, it’s more than 50,000 yuan.”
Zhou Chen held Huang Degui's hand and said: "I bought this in Hong Kong. If you ask me to return it, do you want me to make a special trip to Hong Kong again? I can't return it, so you can wear it without worry."
"I won't wear it. If I really can't return it, I'll let you wear it. You can wear it."
He was about to give it to Zhou Chen, but his hand was held down by Zhou Chen, and then Zhou Chen raised his hand.
"What am I wearing? Look at my hands. They are also new. I bought two, one for each of us."
"How much does your watch cost?"
"It's almost the same as you. Uncle, don't think so much. Wear it with peace of mind. I will make money in the future. Not to mention a watch worth more than 50,000 yuan, you can afford it even if it is a watch worth more than 500,000 yuan. So,
Don't think too much, just wear it with peace of mind, this is all out of my filial piety."
"Don't tell me this. I don't dare to wear a watch worth more than 50,000 yuan, and it's still more than 500,000 yuan."
But this time he did not continue to try to take off the watch. Instead, he raised his hand, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully, his eyes full of love.
He has never owned such a good watch in his life, how could he not like it, but the price is really prohibitive for him.
But now Zhou Chen has said so, he is so filial, how could he live up to his child's filial piety.
So, that night, he didn't take off his watch even when he was sleeping. He even put his hands outside when sleeping because he was afraid that he would be unstable and bump into his watch while sleeping, and he didn't dare to move it even if he turned over.
The next morning, the first thing Huang Degui did when he woke up was to look at the watch on his left wrist. He was relieved when he saw that the watch was not damaged.
Even though he knew that the watch was not easy to damage, he still took great care of it. This was paid for with more than 50,000 yuan. When he was washing, he deliberately took off the watch. In short, on this day, he used his left hand less frequently.
many.
When he went to work at Jin Meilin, his colleagues saw his watch. They were all shocked by this Rolex watch and started asking him about it.
Huang Degui also became Jin Meilin's most handsome boy today, but he was still a little restrained. When others asked him how much he paid, he kept it secret.
But there are many rich people on the Yellow River Road. Others only found out the price of his watch after just a little inquiry. After learning the price, colleagues were naturally even more shocked and at the same time became envious and jealous.
Huang Degui, who was tired of being chased and questioned by everyone, finally just said that his nephew bought it for him, but he did not say what Zhou Chen did. He only said that Zhou Chen had made money in business recently, so he bought him the watch.
Although this dispelled everyone's questioning, more people asked him what kind of business Zhou Chen had done, how he had made so much money in just half a year, and whether there was any way out, etc.
wait……
Even Lu Meilin was curious and chatted with Huang Degui for a few words. She was also very curious about what Zhou Chen did to make so much money that he was willing to buy such a good watch for his uncle.
When Zhou Chen left, she didn't think highly of Zhou Chen at all. She felt that Zhou Chen didn't have any special qualities except his good face.
But now it seems that I have made a mistake.
But Huang Degui pushed 625 and said he didn't know, so Lu Meilin was now looking forward to Zhou Chen returning to Huanghe Road, coming to her Jin Meilin's private room for dinner, and then asking questions properly.
After Zhou Chen returned to Shanghai, he went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange again, and then found that he hadn't come back for three months. Dianxiu and Yuyuan Mall had risen again, and Yuyuan Mall directly exceeded the one thousand mark.
The stocks he bought, combined, made a profit of almost 40%.
However, she did not rush to sell them, but continued to keep them, and wanted to collect some more, because she knew that around May next year, these two stocks would reach their highest point, and they would be able to multiply several times by then.
At that time, it was a large sum of money.
Huang Degui was very happy after returning today. He boasted to Zhou Chen about his success in Jin Meilin today, and finally clinked glasses with Zhou Chen with emotion on his face.
"It's all because of you, Ah Chen, that I'm so prosperous today. But what I'm most happy about is not being in the limelight today, but seeing you grow up, which makes me happy from the bottom of my heart. Even if I go down now, I still have the honor to go.
Meet your parents and tell them that I have lived up to their expectations and taught you well."
That night, Huang Degui talked a lot, but Zhou Chen did not interrupt him, cooperated with him, and drank with him until he was drunk, then put him on the bed.
He knew that Huang Degui had been suppressing it for a long time, and when he was happy today, he let it all out. This was a good thing.
Two days later, Zhou Chen took the initiative to tell Huang Degui his thoughts.
"Uncle, you see, I have made money now, and you can start to enjoy a happy life. How about we stop being Jin Meilin's cook?"
Who would have thought that when Huang Degui heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Don't do it? No, it's your business to make money, I can still ask you to support me in old age, not to mention that I am only in my early forties, is it possible to retire now?"
Zhou Chen had already predicted this, so he added: "If you don't want to retire, uncle, then we can be our own bosses."
"Be your own boss?" Huang Degui looked confused.
"Yes, it's not a problem to keep working for others. Uncle, if you are good at craftsmanship, we can open our own restaurant. I will invest and you will be the boss and chef. How about it?"
"this?"
Huang Degui looked hesitant. He had to say that Zhou Chen's proposal made him excited. Who doesn't want to be a boss?
If Zhou Chen said this before, he might have to educate Zhou Chen in turn, but now Zhou Chen is different from before. He doesn't know how much money Zhou Chen has now, but judging from Zhou Chen's lavishness in buying things, he must be making money.
If you have a lot of money, there will definitely be no problem in opening a restaurant.
"But I can only cook and be the boss, can I do that? Forget it. Don't lose the money you earned with great difficulty to me."
Zhou Chen advised again: "Uncle, listen to me, your craftsmanship is really good. If you are worried about losing money, we can start slowly from a young age. We don't have to do it on Huanghe Road. You have more than 20 years of craftsmanship."
, as long as you work hard, you won’t have to worry about running out of business.”
Huang Degui was even more hesitant. In fact, he had thought about opening his own restaurant before, but the risk was too great and he didn't have the capital or courage.
But now Zhou Chen suddenly mentioned it again, which made him feel itchy in his heart.
"Let me think about it, Ah Chen, please let me think about it."
Seeing Huang Degui's attitude, Zhou Chen knew something was right and stopped trying to persuade him.
A few days passed in a flash, and Zhou Chen went to the Shanghai Stock Exchange several times. He was quite disappointed because he did not receive any more electronic vacuum. The stock was rising well, and no one was willing to sell it now.
On the contrary, I bought some stocks of Yuyuan Mall, because although Yuyuan Mall is also rising now, the unit price is no longer low, and some stockholders are not reassured. When they learned that Zhou Chen was willing to buy it at a premium, they sold it.
It's just that the number of stocks received was relatively small, which was far from what Zhou Chen expected.
On the Yellow River Road, there are still bright lights and busy traffic, creating a lively and joyful scene.
Jing Xiu from the cigarette paper shop was chewing melon seeds and watching the people coming and going on the Yellow River Road, squinting his eyes to observe carefully.
Suddenly someone blocked his view.
"Two packs of cigarettes."
Jingxiu looked up and said, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Bao? You haven't been to Huanghe Road for some days."
Abao smiled and said, "I've been a little busy lately. I just happened to come over for dinner today. How about it? Has anything interesting happened on the Yellow River Road recently?"
With that said, he handed two banknotes to Jingxiu. Jingxiu took the banknotes with a smile and handed over two packs of cigarettes.
"There was something really interesting happening on the Yellow River Road recently. Maybe Bao will be interested in it."
"Tell me."
"Jin Meilin's cook, Lao Huang, wore a Rolex worth more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars a few days ago. I heard that his nephew bought it for him. Mr. Bao, you must not know who Lao Huang and his nephew are."
Abao lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked, "What does Lao Huang and his nephew do?"
Jingxiu's voice rose slightly: "What's strange is that I know Lao Huang's nephew. His nephew used to be Jin Meilin's cook. He was brought in by Lao Huang, and he would always come to my place to buy cigarettes. What's even stranger is that
, almost half a year ago, when he came to buy cigarettes from me for the last time, it was a coincidence that Mr. Bao happened to come to Huanghe Road that day. Do you know what he asked me at that time? "
"What?"
Abao is really interested. One and a half years ago, he was just Jin Meilin's cook. Half a year later, he was willing to buy a Rolex worth more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars for his uncle. Let's not mention the filial piety thing. Under what circumstances would a normal person be willing to buy it for his uncle?
More than 50,000 watches.
That will definitely be the time when there is no shortage of more than 50,000 yuan.
"He asked me at that time how long it would take him if he wanted to be as successful as Mr. Bao."
Abao immediately put his cigarette in his hand and said, "Then what was your answer then?"
Jing Xiu sighed: "I said he had a fever at the time, but now it seems that I may have really underestimated him. This Ah Chen may really be getting rich."
"Achen, is this his name?"
"Yes, Ah Chen, Zhou Chen."
"Zhou Chen?"
Abao nodded and said to Jingxiu: "I'm leaving first, thank you."
"Mr. Bao, walk slowly."
After seeing Mr. Bao off, Jingxiu thought of Zhou Chen again, and was inexplicably looking forward to when Zhou Chen would return to Huanghe Road. However, if Zhou Chen really succeeded, he would definitely be very beautiful when he came back.
Huang Degui has been thinking about it since Zhou Chen mentioned to him about opening a restaurant and becoming his own boss. Finally, he determined that Zhou Chen really made a lot of money, so after thinking about it for a while, he finally made the decision
Made a decision.
"Achen, I listen to you. I want to open my own restaurant and be the boss."
Zhou Chen immediately laughed: "Uncle, your choice is wise. When we had no money, we had to work for others to make money, but now that we have money and no shortage of skills, it is time to open a shop and become the boss of our own.
"
Huang Degui gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Okay, I will tell the boss's wife when I go to work tomorrow and ask her to recruit people in advance."
"Okay, if Lu Meilin makes things difficult for you, I can..."
"Don't worry. Although the boss lady sounds mean, she's actually not that bad. When you left, she wasn't doing much either."
Zhou Chen shook his head, his situation was different from Huang Degui's.
He was just an unimportant little chef at that time, but Huang Degui was the head chef. Apart from Lao Wu, the person in charge of the back kitchen, it was Huang Degui. How could Lu Meilin let him go so easily? Even if she really wanted to let him go, she would definitely do it.
There are certain conditions.
Zhou Chen's worry was not unnecessary, because on the third night after he told Huang Degui, Lu Meilin followed Huang Degui to the door, and besides Lu Meilin, there were several people following behind.
As soon as Lu Meilin came in, she chirped at Zhou Chen and shouted: "Achen, Lao Huang said that you made a lot of money, and you were willing to buy him a watch worth more than 50,000 yuan. Why do you still live in such a cornered place?
"
Zhou Chen just glanced at Lu Meilin, and then looked at the people behind her. When he saw one of the lame men, he suddenly had a guess in his heart.
