Chapter 55: Human relations, this is a matter of money
Department store, coffee shop.

Shen Zhang ordered two drinks. Chai Shiyu was already much better, but she gradually became confused under his push.

"You want to invest in my store?"

"Correct."

Shen Zhang crossed his fingers, his expression very serious: "I said I was investing in you to open a store, but actually I wanted to try a new track."

"How much money did you make out there?"

Chai Shiyu felt confused when Shen Zhang suddenly said this to her.

If the incident had not happened on Hunan Road, she would not have considered this matter for the time being.

Because she wanted to save money for another two years and be lazy for two more years.

Once the store is opened, it's like being half tied to it.

And you can't open a shop in partnership. This is the experience she learned from her father. Her father opened a shop before, together with relatives. They had many conflicting ideas. At first, they just quarreled over trivial matters, but later they often quarreled and broke up two years ago.

"To be honest, I've made a lot of money speculating in currencies online. You don't need to pay a penny. I'll pay for it all. So you don't have to worry about the money. Just say yes or no."

“Speculating in currencies?”

"Have you heard of a certain currency? It's similar to that."

"Have heard a little bit."

Chai Shiyu picked up the cup and took a sip, her thoughts racing, before she asked, "You fully funded my store, and I don't need to pay for it, so how much should I take?"

"Fifty percent."

Shen Zhang started to paint a pie again. If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass. Similarly, the source of human motivation comes from pie, or "money": "I will not participate in the management. Of course, I may participate in the operation. You don't need to bear any risks."

"I can get 50% and I'm responsible for everything. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

Chai Shiyu was half-believing and half-doubting. It was like if she bought a lottery ticket and won five million, but no one would believe it if she told others about it.

"If nothing else, I can still come up with a million or so. Do you want to do it?"

"You...how much did you say?"

Chai Shiyu raised her head and stared at him intently, unable to believe it and thinking she had misheard.

"You think I'm kidding you? Didn't I tell you that I made some money from cryptocurrency trading?"

“Is this just a small profit?”

Chai Shiyu didn't know what to say for a moment. She thought it was exaggerated that Shen Zhang earned tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. After all, this kid looked like he had made money recently. But she didn't think too much about it.

"No? What kind of currency is so profitable to speculate on... Gold Coins!"

"Uh... Actually, it's about the same..."

Shen Zhang thought he could be more euphemistic and compare it to an investment. After all, he was trading in real gold coins, and the profit could be seen from it.

Chai Shiyu seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Shen Zhang took the initiative and said, "I know what you want to say. Why do you want to open a store when you can make so much money? It's risky. Besides, I value the development of industry in recent years. If possible, I also want to create a brand in Jinling."

He really wanted to lean towards this aspect. It's not enough to just have money. To make a living in this field, it's not enough to just have money. You also need an identity and background.

To put it bluntly, these things will gradually arise as you come into contact with more people and things, both big and small problems.

Shen Zhang pointed to the shop next to him and said, "I called and asked before. You've seen the customer flow of this store. It costs 120,000 yuan a year, but the contract is for three years..."

Chai Shiyu stared at the flow of customers in the mall through the window. This was incomparable to the street on Hunan Road. Wasn't this the place she had always longed for?

Just as Shen Zhang said, there was no way she could come up with 360,000.

Chai Shiyu smiled and looked at Shen Zhang: "Isn't this the equivalent of giving me money?"

"Are you happy about this?"

"If it's true, I would definitely like it!"

How could she not be happy about such a pie falling from the sky? Only a fool would be unhappy.

But, can such a good thing really happen to her?

"OK."

Shen Zhang was very satisfied with Chai Shiyu's answer: "Let's not talk about other things for now, let's sign the shop first, and then we can talk about other issues. The shops in the mall are too popular, so I guess we have to discuss the price again."

Chai Shiyu pondered for a long time, feeling a little forced, but this place was close to where she lived.

The key is that it doesn't cost her any money, so she wants to give it a try.

"Okay!" She had her own ideas. She decided to wait and see. Shen Zhang would not cheat her...

Right?

Shen Zhang called the manager of the mall, and soon a middle-aged man in a suit and tie with a slicked-back hair walked into the coffee shop. He looked around and locked onto Shen Zhanghou, then walked over with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm He Dong, the manager of the mall."

"Please sit down. What would you like to drink, Manager He?"

“No, no…”

"It's okay, just order your own drink. I don't know what you like."

He Dong didn't bother to exchange pleasantries with him. He ordered a drink and then got down to business: "You're quite young. What kind of store do you plan to invest in?"

"Tea shop."

"A tea shop, a franchise store?"

Shen Zhang put down the cup in his hand: "I guess so. I want to create my own brand. I have been involved in similar projects before, and we are very optimistic about the current young people's market..."

Chai Shiyu next to him was dumbfounded, listening blankly to Shen Zhang's nonsense. Is this still the Shen Zhang she knew?
Or,
She knew nothing about Shen Zhang?
“You want to create your own brand?”

He Dong was a little surprised when he heard this. Whose family's rich and stupid young master wanted to start a business? "We also have branded tea shops here. We hope that more brands will move in and bring more customers to the mall..."

"This location doesn't lack the traffic for this store. I'll sign a three-year contract for 120,000 yuan."

"Brother, this is not about money."

"I'll treat you to a meal at Jinling Hotel some other day. This is settled. If possible, we can sign the contract this afternoon. Manager He, do you think this can be done?"

Shen Zhang slipped the red envelope that he had prepared in his bag long ago to He Dong from under the table. The thick stack of red envelopes was bursting, and it was definitely more than ten thousand.

It’s not a matter of money, it’s just that the money was not given to the other party.

He Dong was startled by Shen Zhang's action. He lowered his head and took a closer look, then exclaimed "Fuck" in his heart. He pretended to push it under the table a few times, but in the end he couldn't resist the thickness.

The matter happened in just three seconds. The next second he took it without any expression. Although he was completely unprepared, it was obvious that he had learned from this experience. He unzipped his pants and stuffed it in, smoothly taking no more than three seconds.

Chai Shiyu was a little surprised and didn't see clearly how much was given. The expressions in the two people's eyes changed.

A rich smile instantly blossomed on He Dong's tense face, like a sunflower running towards the sun.

Shen Zhang was so polite, and if he didn't give him face, he would be ungrateful.

"Boss Shen, since we are so happy about the discussion, let's sign a three-year contract at 120,000 yuan a year. I will provide you with free water and electricity, and give you three months of advertising as a gift. This can be regarded as supporting young people to start their own businesses. If there are no problems, let's go upstairs to my office to discuss it."

He Dong stood up with a smile. It didn't matter who he rented it to.

Since the other party said they want to develop a brand and it complies with the regulations of the mall, we just need to maintain business in the future.

It was the first time that Chai Shiyu intuitively felt the two-sided nature of a person at such a fast speed. The other party even started addressing Shen Zhang as "Mr. Shen". This guy is really shameless.

"Okay, let's go then."

Shen Zhang followed behind with a smile, and turned around to let Chai Shiyu follow.

It’s really all about money.

Society is all about human relationships and social etiquette. If you don't give benefits to others, who will help you?

Although he spent money, Shen Zhang felt very happy.

He felt that the money was well spent, and anything that could be solved with money was not a big deal.

Half an hour later, in the office.

Chai Shiyu felt that the pen in her hand suddenly became heavy, but she still signed her name on the contract firmly, feeling as if there was an extra burden on her shoulders.

[Reminder: The total consumption this time is 360000R, and you will get triple consumption rebate. 1080000R has been transferred to the system account]

When the prompt sounded, Shen Zhang's mouth corners raised.

Running a brand chain is a bottomless pit. Although Chai Shiyu only makes three times as much, her return is long-term, which is more stable and sustainable than Su Feixuan's.
