Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 288 Did you choose this name?

"Hey, old man, what are you practicing? It looks a bit like Ba Duan Jin!"

As soon as Su Chen walked into the middle courtyard, he saw Old Man Xiao exercising in the open space. After observing for a long time, he could not figure out what kind of health-preserving exercises the old man was practicing.

"Hu~" After finishing a set of moves, Mr. Xiao slowly pressed his hands down, exhaled a long breath, picked up the towel on the table and wiped the almost non-existent sweat on his forehead, then looked at Su Chen.

"What Ba Duan Jin? You really don't have any vision at all. I, your grandfather, practice the serious Five Animals Exercises!"

As he spoke, Old Man Xiao also saw the document in Su Chen's hand, so he nodded towards the tea table beside him, motioning him to come over and sit down to talk.

Naturally, Su Chen didn't say anything polite. He walked to the tea table in three or two steps and sat down. He also consciously refilled Mr. Xiao's teacup with hot water before pouring himself a cup.

"Grandpa, is the Five Animal Exercises you mentioned the one passed down by Hua Tuo?" There was a glimmer in Su Chen's eyes. If it was really this thing, he could also learn it.

After all, it is a good thing left by our ancestors. Even Grandpa Xiao is practicing it diligently. It goes without saying that the Five Animal Exercises must be useful.

"Hmm~" Old Man Xiao nodded, picked up the teacup and drank two sips before continuing: "This Five Animal Exercises is quite good. It has a great effect on health preservation. If you are interested, I can teach you!"

"Okay, but I'm not free at the moment. I'll come and learn from you after I'm done with my work!" Su Chen also felt that his physical fitness had been a little slack recently, and he had gained a lot of fat on his belly.

Before, I had thought about exercising with Chen Fei and the others, so that I could develop abdominal muscles and a six-pack, but I only persisted for a few days before giving up and just lying down.

"It's up to you. Just come and see me whenever you are free!" Old Master Xiao said indifferently.

The Five Animal Exercises are not something confidential and there is no need to hide them. It is a good thing that Su Chen is interested in learning them.

He usually practices in the yard by himself. With Su Chen as his "apprentice", it will be more lively.

"Hey, why can't I see Uncle Zhenzhong? He's not still sleeping and hasn't gotten up yet?" Su Chen looked around and asked curiously.

"Zhenzhong, he left a long time ago!"

Su Chen was stunned when he heard this. He had learned a little about Xiao Zhenzhong through Xiao Chen before, and knew what he did. Logically speaking, with his level, he could have rested for ten days or half a month, so how come he returned to his post so soon?

As if seeing the doubt in Su Chen's heart, Old Man Xiao smiled and joked: "It's all your fault!"

"What did I do?" Su Chen pointed at himself in disbelief and immediately rolled his eyes at the old man.

"Old man, you can't frame a good person for no reason. How can it be my good deed? If you don't explain to me, don't blame me for taking all your tea leaves when I leave!"

These words made Old Master Xiao laugh. He raised his right hand and tapped the air several times, then cursed with a smile: "That bastard Xiao Chen stole my treasure and gave it to you, and he hasn't even come to settle the score with you yet."

"It seems that you are thinking about my few tea leaves again. Is this the reason you came here today?"

Hearing this, Su Chen's mouth almost stretched to his ears. To be honest, one of the purposes of his visit today was to get some tea from the old man.

All the tea that Su Chen had taken from the old man before had been almost finished. If he didn't replenish it, he would run out of tea.

"Hehe~ We can talk about the tea leaves later, let's talk about Uncle Zhenzhong's matter. Why did it involve me? I won't take the blame. It can't be because of the bottles of wine that Chen gave me!"

Old Master Xiao rolled his eyes at Su Chen, feeling extremely bitter when he thought of the Lai Mao that he had treasured for many years but had never been willing to drink.

But he was too embarrassed to argue with Su Chen about this, so he could only continue the previous topic, "You really have to take the blame for this. The group of experts that were evacuated from Zheng Island have now been transferred to the area that your uncle Zhenzhong is in charge of!"

"As the highest person in charge of the base, how could he stay at home to rest for so long? It's already good enough that he can come back to rest for two days!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Su Chen's face. He didn't expect that he was really involved in this.

What surprised him was that the project was actually arranged in the northwest. However, when he thought about it carefully, it was normal. After all, only in that vast land could he conduct a more in-depth study of the project.

"Okay, let's not talk about your Uncle Zhenzhong anymore, let's talk about business!" Old Master Xiao's eyes naturally fell on the documents on the table.

Hearing this, Su Chen also put down the teacup in his hand, picked up the document and handed it directly to the old man, "This is a newly registered investment company in Hong Kong. See if there is anything else you need to add."

"If there are no problems, old man, you can arrange personnel to support this company."

Old Master Xiao did not answer Su Chen immediately. Instead, he took out the documents in the file bag and read them carefully. When he saw the company name, a strange expression appeared on his face.

Pointing to the column for the company name, he asked, "Did you come up with this name?"

"Huh?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and quickly leaned his head over. When he saw that the name of the company was Shanghe Investment Co., Ltd., he was a little confused.

If Su Chen remembered correctly, there was no difference in the name of the organization led by them internationally and the name of this newly registered company, there were just some slight differences.

Typical homophones!

"Hehe~ Old man, this shouldn't have any impact!" Su Chen said with a hint of embarrassment, and in his heart he scolded Pei Rang and the Chen family who did this.

There are so many other names you could choose, why did you have to choose this name?

If I use an investment company with this name to invest in a wealthy company, wouldn't it be telling others who I am?
Although everyone knows what is going on behind this, you can't be open about it. You still have to hide it when necessary.

"It's okay. If it was in the past, maybe this name really needs to be studied carefully, but now..." The old man paused deliberately, his eyes fell on Su Chen, and he looked at him seriously for a moment.
Then he continued: "We now have controllable nuclear fusion technology, and we have achieved mass production in lithography machines and chips. We can completely achieve a leap forward in existing technology in a short period of time."

"So we don't have to worry about anything. Moreover, this is also an opportunity to attract some people's attention to the dog owner, leaving us with plenty of time."

Smacking his lips, Su Chen nodded in agreement. He also agreed with what the old man said.

But he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, always feeling that there was a deeper meaning in the old man's words, but he just couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being.

"Okay, since you, old man, said it's okay, then there is no need to make any changes!" Su Chen didn't think much about it. He had taken on this matter before and had already thought about some of the things he would face in the future.

What's more, he believed that the old man would not harm him.

After Mr. Xiao put the documents back into the file bag and put them away properly, he continued, "Now let's talk about the distribution of benefits in the special economic zone!"

"Distribution of benefits?" Su Chen's eyes widened when he heard this. His heart moved, but he looked at Grandpa Xiao with a puzzled expression.

"Aren't you going to be in charge of running the special economic zone in the future? Why are you still thinking of distributing the profits to me?"

Old Master Xiao glared at Su Chen unhappily, "Could it be that in your mind we are the kind of people who take advantage of others and refuse to admit our mistakes?"

"You should know that the land was also given to you by Salman. No matter what purpose he has behind it, it is your asset after all. In addition, you have also made a lot of efforts, so you must share the profits!" Hearing the old man say this, Su Chen simply stopped pretending and asked with a big grin, "Hehe, old man, I wonder how much profit Wan can get?"

"Will it be given to me in one lump sum, or will it be divided according to the annual profits of the special economic zone?"

Even though Mr. Xiao was knowledgeable and experienced, he was unable to react for a while to Su Chen's sudden change.

The person who just said he was not qualified, now turns around and asks me how much I want. Isn't he changing his expression too quickly?

"I didn't realize it before, but you're such a shameless guy. It seems like you've been testing an old man like me from the beginning!" Old Master Xiao scolded with a smile.

He had figured out that Su Chen was a guy who would not show up until he saw the rabbit. He would never show up until he was sure of the benefits.

"Uh~ Old man, you can't tarnish someone's innocence!" Su Chen said with a bitter face, but the next second he changed the subject and brought the topic back to the distribution of profits.

"Old man, let's talk about the profits of the special economic zone!"

"You kid..." Old Master Xiao shook his head helplessly, his expression gradually became serious, and he said seriously: "Based on our research, we finally decided to give you 30% of the gross profit of the special economic zone. What do you think?"

"30%? That's gross profit!!"

Su Chen was so shocked by the information the old man said that he opened his mouth wide.

This is the gross profit, which is the profit including all costs!

Even if it was 30% of the net profit, Su Chen would be very satisfied with the distribution ratio. But if the gross profit was 30%, the profit Su Chen would get could be 50% of the net profit, or even 60%!
This income is a bit scary.

Take the economic and trade cooperation zone established in the Suez Canal a few years ago, for example. Its annual income has reached nearly 10 billion US dollars. If the special economic zone of Gou Da Hu is built, the benefits it will bring will be at least several times that of the Suez Economic and Trade Zone.

After all, the fastest way to make money in the world is through resources, various minerals and energy, and these are the things that the rich have the most of.

A gross profit of 30% means that Su Chen doesn't have to do anything every year and the income is at least tens of billions of US dollars, and this scale will gradually expand with the improvement of the special economic zone.

It can be said that just from the share of profits, Su Chen can earn more money just by lying down than those big companies and groups in the country.

"Old man, you guys are really courageous!" Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.

"Compared to what you have contributed, this is still a little lacking! We will not let you selflessly contribute to the cause by shedding blood and tears. We can only compensate you in these ways!"

Old Master Xiao said with some emotion that this amount of money was nothing compared to the technology Su Chen had contributed. They had also thought about compensating Su Chen in other ways, but this guy just had nothing he needed.

"By the way, the land you mentioned before has also been finalized. However, it is not like what you thought before, that you will be given a piece of land across the country. Instead, we have chosen a second-tier or higher city. Someone will come to hand it over to you later!"

"All is fine, but have someone contact Pei Rang directly for the handover. He will be fully responsible for this matter!"

Su Chen didn't care much about this. His original intention was to consider the employees of the group's subsidiaries located in various locations.

The idea is to build some houses as a reward, to provide a stable home for those outstanding employees who have moved to Beijing, Shanghai and South China.

"You are really skilled in being a hands-off manager!" Old Master Xiao joked with a smile.

After finishing the business, Su Chen started chatting with Grandpa Xiao. It was mainly the old man talking while Su Chen listened.

Before he knew it, it was noon. After Su Chen had a free lunch at Old Man Xiao's place, he left humming a song while carrying a few cans of tea.

But when Su Chen left, the smile on Grandpa Xiao's face faded a little, and he even stood at the door of the main room in the middle courtyard and muttered several words in the direction where Su Chen left.

Faintly one can hear words like bastard, tea leaves, and heartache.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard in Shichahai, Su Chen ran into Pei Rang, who was with a middle-aged man, at the door. They just got out of a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle.

"What a coincidence~ You didn't come here right after dinner!" Su Chen asked with a smile when he saw Pei Rang.

"Hehe~ The boss really has sharp eyes. We rushed here right after lunch!"

"By the way, boss, this is the famous manager Ji Wenbo whom I mentioned to you yesterday!" Pei Rang quickly moved aside to reveal the middle-aged man behind him.

"Boss!" Ji Wenbo called respectfully. Before coming here, he had heard Pei Rang's brief introduction that his boss was unfathomable and he should not look down on him just because he was young.

He didn't pay too much attention to it before. After all, he had met many important figures. But when he saw Su Chen getting off the Hongqi N701, he realized how superficial he had been before.

Su Chen nodded slightly when he heard this, and his eyes naturally fell on the man named Ji Wenbo, sizing up this professional manager who was praised by Pei Rang!

He is not very tall, about 1.75 meters, and a little fat. He looks very amiable. What's interesting is that his hair is particularly thick, without the baldness that is typical of middle-aged men.

"Let's go in and talk. I just happened to get some good tea from the old man. You'll be in for a treat later!"

As Su Chen said this, he walked towards the courtyard. Seeing this, Pei Rang and Ji Wenbo followed closely behind him.

"Don't be surprised no matter what you see later!" Pei Rang whispered to Ji Wenbo.

Ji Wenbo was also confused when he heard this, but when he saw Pei Rang's serious look, he nodded heavily to show that he understood.

Having said that, when Ji Wenbo walked into the front yard and saw the several-meter-long white tiger lying on the ground, he was so frightened that he couldn't move at all, and his legs were shaking slightly.

Fortunately, he didn't scream in panic.

Pei Rang naturally noticed the changes in Ji Wenbo. The reason why he did not tell Ji Wenbo in advance that there was a tiger in the courtyard was that he had two ideas.

First... naturally I wanted to test Ji Wenbo's mental quality and on-the-spot performance, which he has passed.

As for the second one, Pei Rang was also scared when he came yesterday. He also wanted to see what others would feel when they saw this big white tiger.

"It's okay, Fat Tiger is a very obedient guy!"

Pei Rang took Ji Wenbo's arm with a smile and led him towards the central courtyard.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Pei!" Ji Wenbo suppressed the panic in his heart and tried hard to force a smile on his face.

When walking, Ji Wenbo walked directly on the left side of Pei Rang, and he felt a little safe.
