156: Don't buy shares.
No one cared about Chen Ziqi’s thoughts.
This gathering was for Qian Ziyong, he was the focus.
Chen Jingfu said, “Laodi, you came to Shen City without even calling me, that’s not right!”
“I heard you plan to open a game company in Shen City and need to rent an office?”
Everyone was very curious about this.
They all knew that Qian Ziyong started with supermarkets, then got into Hot Pot Restaurants, and later Milk Tea.
If Qian Ziyong’s previous businesses were all related to food.
Then opening a game company, the leap was quite significant.
Zhao Kaixuan, “Professional Mage,” curiously asked, “The game industry is very competitive now, it’s a bit difficult to make money in this line of work.”
“Do you have some novel idea? Why do you want to open a game company?”
Qian Ziyong shook his head, “No novel ideas, I’m just very interested in games, so I want to open a company to play around.”
Could he tell everyone that he heard game company employees like to slack off, so he specifically opened a game company just to hire employees to slack off?
Of course not.
Zhao Kaixuan smiled, “Although I understand games, I don’t know anything about opening a game company.”
“I’m a very poor person, I have nothing but a lot of money.”
“I wonder if Brother Qian is short on money? I’ll invest twenty million to play around!”
Chen Jingfu said, “The economy has been very sluggish recently, and money is getting harder to earn each year. We don’t even know where to invest the money we have now.”
“Brother Qian, I’ll invest thirty million!”
Sun Youan said, “Brother Qian’s new company is opening, I should support it somehow, how about fifty million!”
Others also spoke up, wanting to invest money. Qian Ziyong quickly shook his head, picked up his drink, and stood up:
“Big brothers, I also know nothing about opening a game company.”
“I’m just interested in this industry and want to open one to play around!”
“I don’t plan to manage it myself; I’ll just hand it over to my subordinates and not bother with it anymore!”
“It’s just a hobby business; how can I take money from you big brothers?”
“Thank you for your support, big brothers. I toast this glass to your care. I’ll drink it all, you all do as you please!”
After speaking, Qian Ziyong drained his drink in one gulp.
The big brothers were also very obliging and didn’t mind that Qian Ziyong was drinking a beverage. They all raised their glasses and drank them dry.
The few men exchanged glances, unsure whether Qian Ziyong was truly opening it just for fun, or if he intended to formally enter the industry.
The girls nearby dared not interject, curiously stealing glances at Qian Ziyong.
So much money, adding up to over a hundred million, and Qian Ziyong actually refused!
How many people struggle to raise investments, willing to do anything just for money!
But when Qian Ziyong heard that a few people wanted to invest, it was as if they were trying to steal his money, and he refused with such impatience!
Truly a big boss, he didn’t even want a hundred million.
Sun Youan thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, “Look at me, I’m not being considerate at all!”
“Brother Qian, I have two million worth of Liquor Stocks, they’re just sitting there with me. I heard you like them, so take the Liquor Stocks with you when you leave later!”
Everyone else also reacted.
They all expressed that they had Liquor Stocks, some a million, some two million.
Upon hearing that everyone wanted to give him Liquor Stocks, Qian Ziyong’s expression changed.
If he agreed to their offer, he could get all that Liquor Stocks for free!
He suppressed his excitement, feeling very anxious.
When the game company started, he wanted his employees to slack off. If these big brothers all invested money...
What if they came to the company, saw the employees not working, and urged them to work?
He couldn’t possibly stop the employees and tell them not to work, could he?
Letting employees slack off could only be done secretly, creating the best conditions for them to slack off.
But it couldn’t be done openly.
Otherwise, it would arouse suspicion!
So, absolutely no shares could be taken in the game company.
But Qian Ziyong really wanted those Liquor Stocks!
The Liquor Stocks they were giving him, the least was one million, the most was two million, adding up to almost ten million.
If he accepted these Liquor Stocks, he would truly be a millionaire.
Sun Youan saw the struggle on Qian Ziyong’s face.
He smiled and said to the girls beside him, “There’s an audio-visual room downstairs. It’s boring for you to listen to us big men talk business here.”
“Go watch movies or sing. I’ve already told the waiter that all expenses will be charged to my account!”
“Order whatever you want to drink or eat.”
“Xiaoyun, please help me look after them.”
The girls all smiled and stood up, said goodbye to everyone, and left hand in hand.
They knew that serious matters were about to be discussed, and it wasn’t appropriate for them to stay there.
After the women left, Chen Jingfu could no longer hold back and asked, “Brother Qian, what’s going on with the Milk Tea Shop?”
“Do you have some plan?”
Hearing this, Qian Ziyong was a bit confused, “Wh-what do you mean?”
Chen Jingfu said, “I heard Liu Gaoda say that you don’t care about Qingyue Milk Tea at all!”
“You told me before that you opened a chain Milk Tea Shop to deal with Qingyue Milk Tea, but you don’t care about Qingyue Milk Tea’s situation at all.”
“It’s obvious that you don’t care about Qingyue Milk Tea at all. You are playing a big game of chess and are going to give the world a surprise!”
“Do you think I guessed correctly?”
Correct?
Of course not!
What is all this about?
What big game of chess? He didn’t understand at all!
Qian Ziyong now wished he could slap himself.
Careless!
Indeed, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
He really didn’t care much about Qingyue Milk Tea.
He just wanted Bingmi Milk Tea to lose him money.
And dealing with Qingyue Milk Tea was just an excuse.
Precisely because he didn’t care about Qingyue Milk Tea, when he called Liu Gaoda, he didn’t even ask about Qingyue Milk Tea’s situation.
Chen Jingfu noticed it!
Now, how to explain?
These big brothers were all shrewd; if he told too obvious a lie, anyone could see that he was trying to fool them.
Did he still want those Liquor Stocks or not?
“Yes… yes…” Qian Ziyong could only go along with Sun Youan’s words, his mind racing, thinking about how to round out the lie.
Sun Youan beside him laughed loudly, “I knew it! With Brother Qian’s character, how could he recklessly seek revenge just because of a few words from the other party?”
“Brother Qian is using a feint.”
“But Laodi, you even kept Sun Youan and me in the dark. That’s too ruthless.”
“Good thing we found out.”
Everyone understood Qian Ziyong’s deeds and knew that his methods were very clever.
His business acumen was simply unfathomable.
They also knew that in Han City, someone demanded money from him, but Qian Ziyong used a slight trick and directly imprisoned the other party.
During this process, the cohesion of the Feihuang employees and the customers’ trust in Feihuang astonished them even more.
The more they understood Qian Ziyong, the more they admired his business talent.
Everyone knew a lot about Bingmi Milk Tea, it was now the most popular Milk Tea Shop in all of Shen City, if not the only one.
Hearing that Qian Ziyong was playing a big game of chess, they were all curious about his astonishing plan.
Chen Jingfu directly asked, “Laodi, what’s your plan for Bingmi Milk Tea?”
Qian Ziyong scratched his head; he hadn’t come up with a good excuse yet.
“Loss… profit?” Qian Ziyong stammered.
Upon hearing ‘profit,’ Chen Jingfu burst into laughter, excitedly slapping the table:
“I knew your ultimate goal in opening a Milk Tea Shop was to make money!”
“And to make a lot of money!”
Sun Youan immediately decided, “I want to invest.”
