100: Chapter 100 Useless Cat? NO! This is the Winner Among Cats

Back in the car, Chen Sheng thought for a moment, took out his phone, opened the browser, and typed in "Lu Xiaorong". The search results startled him.

Founder of XX Technology Co., Ltd., investor...

Looking at the photo provided online, Chen Sheng only wanted to say one thing: "Woc!"

This was no mere wealthy lady; this was a powerhouse fighter jet.

Suddenly, he felt a bit envious of the useless cat.

The useless cat reminded him of Gunther IV, the German Shepherd abroad that inherited $80 million. Most importantly, while the estate was managed by a trust, with the help of "human fund experts," it continued to appreciate, the snowball growing larger and larger, finally reaching a scale of 2.5 billion.

It was simply a case of humans not being as good as dogs.

So...

This was no useless cat; this was undeniably a winner among cats.

Chen Sheng used his slightly trembling hands to take out a cigarette pack and lit one for himself. At this moment, he needed nicotine to calm his surging emotions.

After finishing the cigarette, Chen Sheng carefully placed the business card into the interlayer of the car's rearview mirror.

This was a networking resource. Although he couldn't use it now, what about the future?

After storing the business card, Chen Sheng took a few deep breaths, restarted the car, and headed straight to the university town commercial street.

Meeting with the shop owner at the commercial street, with both parties eager to speed up the process, things progressed at an extraordinary pace.

Arriving at "A Small Shop", the shop owner took the initiative to show Chen Sheng the cash register records.

After checking, it was indeed as the shop owner said: the monthly profit was around ten thousand, though based on 24-hour operation.

Then, the shop owner told Chen Sheng about all the various supply channels, and even during this process, answered all of novice Chen Sheng's questions, such as how to restock and how to compare prices, providing his own summarized experience.

After explaining the matters of the shop, the shop owner contacted the Landlord. Once the Landlord arrived, the shop owner, the Landlord, and Chen Sheng signed the lease agreement again.

The term of this contract was five years, with rent paid annually, allowing for an annual rent increase of 2% - 5%.

However, in the final additional clause, a point was noted: the rent increase must comply with the market and could not be increased without cause. At the same time, the tenant must be notified 1-3 months in advance before the increase.

Party B (the tenant) had the right to refuse, and if the contract was terminated early due to the increase, Party A (the Landlord) could not demand liquidated damages in any way.

At the same time, Party A (the Landlord) could not terminate the contract without cause during the contract period; otherwise, they would need to compensate Party B (the tenant) for all losses caused during the shop relocation.

The contract was a template, but the additional clauses were written by hand at Chen Sheng's insistence. He wanted to tell the mercenary-looking Landlord in this way that although he looked young, he was definitely not to be trifled with.

This was very important in today's world.

After signing the tripartite agreement, it was nearly time to get off work, so the transfer of ownership had to be left for the next day.

Having agreed on a time with the shop owner, Chen Sheng drove straight home.

It wasn't that he didn't think about picking up An Xiaonuan from work; it was just that with Shu City's evening rush hour, rather than driving into it, it was better to go to the vegetable market, buy groceries, and cook a meal at home so that An Xiaonuan could feel the warmth of home as soon as she returned.

So today, Chen Sheng prepared yam and pork rib soup, adding a few goji berries—this was for replenishing Qi—as well as pickled pepper pork liver, which was for replenishing blood, and finally a stir-fried green vegetable, which was for a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, ensuring nutritional balance.

Sure enough, when An Xiaonuan returned home, the three dishes received countless praises.

Such as likes, compliments, hugs, and even passionate kisses...

...

The next day.

Because he had agreed with the shop owner to handle the transfer in the morning, Chen Sheng didn't drive An Xiaonuan to work today. After watching An Xiaonuan leave, Chen Sheng quickly opened the system panel.

host: Chen Sheng

Level: Level 1

Upgrade Experience: 59/100

Unread Intelligence: 3

He rubbed his hands until they were warm before clicking on the unread intelligence.

【Intelligence 1: The price of gold will continue to rise over the next half month, with the total price exceeding 760 yuan per gram.】

"What the heck?" Chen Sheng slapped his thigh hard. "It's still rising?!"

Thinking back to when Mother Chen had her birthday, he bought her a gold bracelet, and the price at that time was only two hundred-something per gram.

Of course, he didn't slap his thigh because he thought of the gold bracelet he bought for his mother, but because of the gold bracelet he sold a while ago; the market price was only 500-something per gram at the time, and the buyback price was only 480 yuan per gram. "This is a huge loss."

Chen Sheng picked up his phone, opened the browser, and searched for the gold price of the day. Seeing that the current gold price was less than six hundred, his eyes lit up.

With a profit margin of over one hundred, it would be a crime against heaven not to take advantage of this.

Chen Sheng walked quickly to the balcony. At this moment, he also needed a cigarette to calm his surging heart. After calming down, he looked at the second piece of intelligence.

【Intelligence 2: Today, outside the XX Foreign Trade Logistics Sorting Center in the Northern Logistics Park of the city, there is a stall selling unclaimed express delivery blind boxes. Inside one of the express blind boxes, there is an unopened first generation phone that no one has claimed, with a commodity value of about 70,000-100,000 ¥.】

【Note 1: This intelligence is valid until 17:00 on the 29th; it will automatically expire after this time.】

"Woc! The ancestor of the kidney phone." Chen Sheng instinctively supported his waist with his hand.

Although he had no interest in the "kidney phone" himself, the name was legendary, and too many stories were left online for the iPhone 4 back then.

However, it had to be admitted that the Phone series truly opened up the domestic market with the iPhone 4.

But the fact that there was a first generation phone in the country, still unopened, and in a blind box, was a bit beyond his expectations.

He could only sigh that there was a small probability of getting good things from blind boxes.

Looking down, Chen Sheng read the last piece of intelligence for today.

【Intelligence 3: Today, in the greenery under Building 3 of Beixing City in Dafeng District, there is a discarded Labubu doll. Inside the doll is hidden a Longines Elegant series watch with a market value of about 10,000.

The doll was a surprise prepared by the top-ranked fan of a female streamer with 300,000 followers, specifically after he had deep, friendly exchanges with her. The female streamer did not know that the watch was hidden inside the doll; she disliked the gift from the top-ranked fan for being cheap and discarded it casually after he left.】

【Note 1: This intelligence is valid until 10:21 on the 29th; it will automatically expire after this time.】

After reading this intelligence, Chen Sheng lit another cigarette. "Sigh~"

This sigh wasn't for the top-ranked fan, but for the previous "simp" who gave the female streamer flowers and hid a bracelet inside.

Look, they both gave gifts to the female streamer, both hid them, and both were discarded by her, but the top-ranked fan got to "eat the meat," while the simp got nothing.

Of course, this sigh was also for himself, because the intelligence deadline was 10:21, but he had already agreed to meet the shop owner this morning to handle the transfer procedures.

The times conflicted, and he could only choose one.

After finishing the cigarette, he made up his mind. Compared to a Longines watch worth about 10,000, the shop transfer involving 100,000 was clearly more important. He could only leave this watch to its destined owner.

"Sigh~" Chen Sheng couldn't help but sigh again.

Closing the system panel, Chen Sheng shook his head and walked into the bathroom.

After washing up and changing into a suit, Chen Sheng turned back into that business elite. He drove to the Administration for Industry and Commerce where he had agreed to meet the shop owner and spent the whole morning completing all the procedures for the shop transfer. At the same time, Chen Sheng also submitted an application for the change of the shop name.

The original shop name was "A Small Shop". Chen Sheng found it awkward to read, so he changed it to "A Small Shop Here". Although it was only a one-character change, it immediately felt smoother, didn't it?

After completing all the procedures, the two of them finished the final process of paying money and handing over the shop in the Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The shop owner handed the remaining documents in his hand, such as the tobacco and alcohol retail license, to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng then transferred 100,000 to the account provided by the shop owner via the bank app.

"I've been in retail for several years, and suddenly I've transferred it. For a moment..." While waiting for the funds to arrive, the shop owner said with emotion: "Boss Chen, if... I mean if one day you don't want to run this convenience store anymore, please give me a call. I... if I can, I think I will take it back."

"No problem! If that day really comes, I will definitely call you."

Receiving Chen Sheng's promise, the shop owner said solemnly: "Thank you!"
