Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 107 Tea Restaurant

"What? Five million?"

Before dinner the next day, the second sister-in-law secretly informed everyone of her guess while Da Lao Guang Xianglan was still not back. She thought that Da Lao Guang did not win 500 yuan yesterday, but 5 million yuan.

"I went to the site to investigate today. I counted the necklace that my eldest sister-in-law wore yesterday." The second sister-in-law went to the jewelry store today to look at a necklace that was exactly the same as Xianglan's. "One hundred ten-piece diamonds and fifteen twenty-piece optimized South African diamonds cost thirty-eight thousand Chinese yuan."

The second sister-in-law continued to express her views to everyone, "Think about it, a person's spending power can buy a 50,000 yuan diamond necklace, which can't be eaten or drunk, it's just a decoration. From such spending power, we can infer that his family must be very wealthy. Uncle Yao, you also said that you would give money to him to open a tea restaurant, but he doesn't care at all."

"No wonder the boss acted out of character last night, not at all like his usual frugal self." A-Zu nodded, thinking it made sense, "Someone gave money to open a shop for me. If it were me, I would be disrespectful to the bank if I hesitated for a second. The boss was able to resist such temptation, so he must have a lot of money."

"I don't believe it." The mother knows her son best. The mother disagreed and said, "I know Guang best. He is not the kind of person who hides things." A Yao held the same view. "I don't believe it either. The boss has the least concept of private property. He used to share his good things with everyone."

"Wait a minute, Ayao, what did he give you when you were a child?" asked the second sister-in-law.

"That's a lot, apples, maltose, cloud cakes." A Yao counted them one by one, and the second sister-in-law interrupted impatiently: "Okay, okay, apple cloud cakes and other things, right? If it were me, it would be more than just sharing them with you, I would go around the streets to distribute them. How much can those cloud cakes be worth? Ask your boss to share his wife's diamond necklace and see if he is still so generous."

"That's true." The old man was also convinced by his second sister-in-law. "What Ah Chan said makes sense. Could it be that Ah Guang got rich and didn't dare to say it?"

"What's there to be afraid of saying?" asked the second brother.

"As we are discussing this privately now, does he dare to say it?" Kang Qirui rebuked everyone, and then said: "Even if the boss really won five million, so what? Do you have to tell us if you have money? Then how much money do you have, sister-in-law? Tell us too."

Uh. The second sister-in-law was speechless immediately. One reason was that she could tell that Kang Qirui was really angry, and the other was that how could she tell everyone how much money she had. When Kang Qirui was about to speak, Da Lao Guang and Xiang Lan came back, "Why are you all in the dining room? Are you having a meeting?" Da Lao Guang asked in confusion.

No one dared to speak, but Kang Qirui said directly: "They were talking about how much wealth you have. They said you have earned five million."

"Ah?" The boss was shocked and his voice was shaking. "Don't talk nonsense, didn't I say it yesterday, it was only 500 yuan. How come it became 5 million yuan after being spread around?"

Seeing that Kang Qirui spoke directly, the second sister-in-law didn't hide it anymore. She pointed at the necklace Xianglan was wearing and said, "Sister-in-law, I've seen this necklace. It costs 50,000 yuan. Didn't you win 5 million to buy such an expensive necklace for your wife? Even if you are willing, you don't have that much money."

"Hahahaha." Big Brother Guang laughed, "You mean this necklace? I bought it at a boutique, it's only over a hundred dollars. If you don't believe me, give me two hundred dollars and I'll buy you one tomorrow." "Yes, yes, I bought it at a boutique, if you want it, I don't want any money, I'll give it to you." Xianglan was still so simple. The second sister-in-law believed it now. No matter how simple a person is, he would not give away something worth 50,000 dollars. It can only be because it is really worth more than a hundred dollars.

Alas, except for Kang Qirui, everyone was very disappointed. It was another fake winning. "Okay, okay, look at your miserable appearance, stop dreaming, it's most important to be down-to-earth." The mother scolded, and then said, "By the way, Aunt Fen from the United States will come back to visit tomorrow, who of you is free to pick her up?"

Everyone looked at each other for a while and no one spoke. After a while, A-Zu said, "Didn't Third Sister-in-law go to America with Old Dou's mother last time? Third Sister-in-law went too. She's the only one who knows Aunt Fen."

A-Zu's suggestion was indeed quite reasonable, but Sachiko said apologetically: "I can't do it tomorrow. Tomorrow is the 15th. We have to settle accounts in the company. We are very busy."

"Then A Zong will go." The old woman made the decision. Er Lao had no choice but to agree with tears in his eyes.

After dinner, Kang Qirui came to Lao Guang's room and asked, "Lao, what do you think of the tea restaurant I mentioned yesterday?" Then he turned to Xiang Lan and said, "What about sister-in-law? Do you have confidence?"

"A Rui, if you want to open a tea restaurant, we can go and work for you, but we can't be the boss. We can't afford to pay you much, and we can't take advantage of you for nothing." The boss said that it was okay to open a tea restaurant, but he would only accept work as a worker.

"Yes, Uncle Yao, we are different from Uncle San and his wife. They can invest money, but we have no money so we just take shares." Xianglan is as stubborn as Da Laoguang and believes that only those who invest money can be considered the boss.

Kang Qirui knew that he couldn't persuade the big brothers Guang and Xianglan to accept technical and management investments, so he had to ask: "How much money do you have? Sister-in-law, your salary has always been pretty good. You should have saved some money, right?" Kang Qirui knew Xianglan's salary. She used to be a salesperson and later a store manager, and her income was pretty good.

"The most we can take out now is just over 30,000, which is definitely not enough to open a tea restaurant. So we'd better just work for you." As the mother said, the boss Guang is not a person who hides things, and he directly told Kang Qirui his wealth when he was asked.

Kang Qirui was speechless, not because Lao Guang had little wealth, but because he was obsessed with working. He had no choice but to analyze for Lao Guang: "To open a tea restaurant, you need to invest about 10 yuan in the early stage. If you contribute 10 yuan, I can give you % of the shares. This shareholding ratio is not only based on how much money you contribute, but also on how much work you do. You know me, I don't have time to do it. At most, I will invest some time in the early stage to open the store with you, and I will not be in charge later. So your % of the shares is a combination of money and work."

The boss just looked at Xianglan and scratched his head to show that he didn't understand. Xianglan tentatively said, "I roughly understand what you said. You mean you pay money but don't work, and we pay money and work, so we can't just look at how much money we spend, we have to look at both together, right?"

"That's right, that's what I mean." Kang Qirui nodded, thinking that as a store manager for half a year, he is much smarter than the boss. It is a wise choice to let Xianglan be the store manager instead of the boss. "Then it's settled. Sister-in-law will go back tomorrow and resign with Yongfang, and then take on a new store manager this month. The boss and I will be responsible for finding a store."

In fact, Kang Qirui had already decided on the storefront, and he would just rent the storefront of Ruhao Tea Restaurant in the original storyline, as the location was very good. Then Kang Qirui went to Ayao and Erlao's rooms one after another, and talked to them about the tea restaurant.

Niu gave A Zong a check for 38 yuan, and he eventually held 60% of the shares. In other words, it was about 60 yuan.
