A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 38 Small Success
Wang's Car Dealership has been in a state of "misfortunes never come singly" recently.

First, 24 illegal vehicles were seized at the beginning, resulting in a loss of about 2000 yuan;

Secondly, the head of the family, Wang Chengyun, was sentenced to three years in prison for allowing his subordinates to beat two drivers to death, and he also lost about 5000 yuan in handling fees and legal fees;
Then, Wang was kidnapped by a robber who stole 5000 yuan in cash.

After all this, Wang's car dealership had lost 12000 yuan, which was nearly a quarter of the family's wealth.

That’s not all, they recently had to sell 20 rickshaws at a low price.

Of course, in the eyes of Mrs. Wang and others, as long as they could send their "enemy" Chen Guangliang in, it would be considered a great revenge.

Here.

Mrs. Wang saw Inspector Gao coming and asked quickly, "Inspector Gao, how are you?"

"Ah," Inspector Gao sighed and continued, "I was fooled! Madam Wang, I originally wanted to lure Chen Guangliang out, but I didn't expect that I would be fooled by him instead!"

Li Yan and others frowned, not knowing how they could be fooled by such a thing, but they all seemed to have a bad premonition.

"Inspector Gao, what did he trick you into doing?"

Inspector Gao took out a contract and said, "This Chen Guangliang said he wanted to buy these cars and tricked me into signing this sales contract. I was careless at the time. Who knew he set a trap in the contract?"

Li Yan quickly took the contract and read it carefully!
"What? Pay 5000 yuan in installments, 500 yuan per month, and pay it off in ten months!"

Everyone was amazed. If that was the case, why didn’t they run the business themselves?

After all, Wang's family is also short of working capital, so they took out twenty rickshaws.

Inspector Gao shook his head with a wry smile, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

After reading the contract, the old housekeeper said, "Inspector Gao, since Chen Guangliang is framing you, you can either arrest him directly or tear up this contract!"

Inspector Gao said, "How can this be possible? The Concession abides by the law. It's written in black and white. You want me to arrest him? It's okay for ordinary people, but Chen Guangliang is now the spokesperson for the Transportation Department and has cooperated with foreigners. How can I arrest him?"

Li Yan almost fainted, thinking that if the boss knew about this, he would be so angry that he would die in prison. Isn't this definitely aiding the enemy?

She said unwillingly, "This car and license plate belong to our Wang's Car Dealership after all. Chief Inspector Gao, can you go get them back?"

Inspector Gao smiled bitterly and said, "It's easier said than done. You signed three copies of the power of attorney, didn't you? To gain Chen Guangliang's trust, I simply gave him one. In other words, he now has both the power of attorney and the contract I signed. How can I go back on my word?"

Li Yan felt his blood boiling because he had personally signed and stamped the letter of authorization.

For a moment, the situation became awkward.

Finally, Inspector Gao couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore, and felt a little guilty. He took the initiative to say, "In a month, the Yangtze River Car Dealership will send 500 yuan, and then every month. If they dare not fulfill their promise during this period, you can come to me and I will definitely take care of it for you. After all, it's only 5000 yuan, so you won't be cheated. Then I'll take my leave!"

"Inspector Gao, take care!"

Watching Inspector Gao leave, the old housekeeper quickly said, "I'll go find Lawyer Lin and see if there's any chance of salvaging this matter."

Yangtze River Car Dealership Base.

60 rickshaw pullers arrived at the first opportunity, many of whom were poached from Wang's rickshaw company, so the rickshaws that were "stolen" were put into operation quickly.

Of the more than 80 rickshaw drivers who originally worked at Wang's Carriage Company, 100% have now joined Changjiang Carriage Company, and Wang's Carriage Company has fallen into a situation where it has cars but no one to rent them.

It cannot be said that the rent of Changjiang Coach Company is cheap, but many coaches come here out of "admiration", and there is also the bad influence of the Wang's Coach Company beating someone to death.

Of course, the number of rickshaw drivers at the Changjiang Coach Company has now reached about 380, far exceeding the number of drivers at the original Wang’s Coach Company.

As for rickshaws, Changjiang Rickshaw Company now has six projects, ABCDEF, with a total of 125 rickshaws, which also exceeds Wang's Rickshaw Company.

Twenty rickshaws filed out of Fangua Lane, and Chen Guangliang returned to his office.

Due to recent rapid growth, his three subordinates were no longer sufficient, so Chen Guangliang decisively called his second uncle and cousin to the base to help. This gave him five subordinates, all paid 15 yuan a month. Chen Guangliang himself earned 25 yuan a month, bringing the total salary for the six of them to 100 yuan.

In addition, the base was too small, and after doubling its size, the monthly rent increased to 15 yuan.

The operating expenses of Changjiang Car Dealership are about 150 yuan a month. Of course, considering the rental income of nearly 3800 yuan a month, this is still kept at a very low proportion, that is, 4%.

In the office, Chen Guangliang sorted out the assets of the six projects:

Project A (3 vehicles, he holds a 33.33% stake): After 2 months and 23 days of operation, the asset value increased from 600 yuan to 820 yuan. Without considering the appreciation of the license plates, he has already made a profit of 35%.

B项目（6辆车，他占29%股权）：运营1个月23天，资产值从1200大洋增加到1500大洋，升值25%。

C项目（12辆车，他占41.6%股权）：运营1个月整，资产值从2400大洋增加到2760大洋，升值15%左右。

Project D (24 vehicles, he holds a 45% stake): Operational duration: days.
Project E (60 vehicles, he holds a 35% stake): Operation time: five days
Project F (20 vehicles, he holds a 45% stake): just started
There are a total of 125 rickshaws, and he holds an average stake of about 39%, which is the entire equity of 49 vehicles.

Today, it is difficult to expand further in the rickshaw business.

Therefore, Chen Guangliang decided to start the "monthly dividend" model for all "six projects" from next month (September), that is, the dividends of the previous month will be distributed from the 9rd to the 3th of each month.

As for himself, he will probably get nearly 1200 yuan every month in the future, and about 9 yuan after 1500 months (Project F is still paying off debts).

This does not include the fact that he will take back the "commodity sales rights", and the estimated monthly income is more than 200 yuan.

In this way, Chen Guangliang can earn 1400 yuan every month.

His personal debt situation is currently 8350 oceans. Including interest, the principal and interest in a year is only 10000 oceans.

It can be paid off in seven months.

Not to mention, he still has 1800 yuan in his hand that he has not used (he only personally contributed 4200 yuan to Project E).

Of course, Chen Guangliang is not in a hurry to repay those loans.

After all, he also wants to expand his business to other industries, such as 'real estate (land)'.

Now that Chen Guangliang has eliminated the potential threat and his own conditions have avoided danger, he borrowed 5000 yuan from Zhou Xinggao (to launder money for him).

In this way, Chen Guangliang now has 6800 oceans at his disposal, and it is time to prepare to buy a piece of land.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Guangliang was not considered a "rich man" at that time, and even seven months later, he could only be considered "slightly rich".

当前陈光良的财富净值，差不多也就4800大洋（40辆车X300元/辆+1800大洋—债务约9000）；
Seven months later, Chen Guangliang's net worth was approximately 18000 yuan (49 cars x 300 yuan each + 1800 yuan for the land). Of course, this is only the case if he doesn't do anything else during the seven months; he will definitely continue to develop his business.

This amount of money is nothing in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Lu Xun, a scholar, could earn 7000 yuan a year. Professor Zhang Qihua's annual income is also around to yuan, not including income from publishing articles.

The annual income of famous doctors and lawyers is conservatively estimated to be no less than 5000 yuan.

In addition, a female textile worker could earn up to 20 oceans, 240 oceans a year, and tens of thousands of oceans in her lifetime.

So, Chen Guangliang can only be considered an ordinary person at this time in Shanghaitan.

Considering the purchasing power of future generations, it can only buy two slightly better houses.

work hard to earn.

Chen Guangliang quickly came up with the idea that in troubled times, having money represents "risk resistance."

If a bald man comes to scrape off the oil, he can withstand it;
If you want to support the war, you can also contribute money;

The most important thing is that you can take more money with you when you run away in the future.
