The world of film and television begins from childhood

Because of this, he even talked to Zhou Qingqing specifically. Zhou Qingqing said that it wasn’t that she didn’t want to find someone, but that she hadn’t met the right one.

Zhou Chen asked Zhou Qingqing: "How are you thinking about the matter I asked you to consider?"

Zhou Qingqing threw the banana peel into the trash can, sat up straight, and said with a serious expression: "Brother, I have thought it through, let's do it."

Zhou Chen showed a satisfied smile: "It's the right decision. Although you have rights in the supermarket, it's a joint business between Lao Mao and me, so it's not easy for you to get the equity. With Lao Mao and I here, you can continue to rise, but..."

He didn't say anything else, but he knew Zhou Qingqing understood what he meant.

“Leaving the supermarket and rebuilding the company, even though everything starts from scratch, it allows you to better utilize your abilities.”

Zhou Qingqing smiled and said, "Brother, I know you love me the most, but is the cosmetics company you mentioned really that easy to run?"

"Of course. Do you know whose money is easiest to earn? Who is most willing to spend money?"

Zhou Qingqing hesitated for a moment and replied, "Rich people?"

“That’s not wrong, but the answer I want to tell you is, woman.”

"woman?"

"Yes, it is a woman's nature to love beauty. For the sake of beauty, a woman can pay a lot. Even if she is poor, she will find a way to make money as long as it can make her more beautiful."

Zhou Qingqing understood what Zhou Chen meant. She herself was a woman, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Zhou Chen said made sense.

"But cosmetics are not that easy to make. I see that most of the women around me use foreign brands. If we create our own brand, will it be popular? And will it be effective? Women are willing to spend money, but they also want to see the effect before they are willing to spend."

Zhou Chen said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this. I have prepared the secret recipe. As long as you complete the company's framework and preliminary preparations, you can enter the production stage at any time."

He has been a doctor for so many years, but some cosmetic formulas are still not difficult for him. He can make low-end, mid-end and high-end cosmetics.

"I'll give you three million first, and you can prepare it. If you encounter any problems, come and ask me."

"it is good."

Zhou Qingqing has gained a lot of experience over the years, so she can still handle this kind of thing.

Zhou Qingqing is now also decisive and efficient. After discussing with Zhou Chen, she left immediately. She wants to settle the matter at the supermarket first, and then start to set up a cosmetics company.

On this day, Zhou Chen was teaching a class when suddenly the cell phone in his pocket vibrated. He immediately turned off the phone and continued teaching.

It was not until he returned to the office after class that he took out his cell phone and called back.

"Lao Mao, what's the matter? Call me while I'm in class."

"Tonight, Yang Huajian invited us to dinner. He said he had something to discuss, so he asked us to go to Liuquanju."

"Yang Huajian? We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, what does he want from us?"

"I don't know. Anyway, let's go there and tell him his name when we get there."

"Okay, I got it. I'll be there when I get off work."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen continued with the work at hand and stayed until after get off work before leaving school.

Zhou Chen drove to Liuquanju. He thought he arrived early, but when he went to the private room, he found that he was the last to arrive.

"Zhou Chen, you are finally here. We have been waiting for a while."

As soon as they saw Zhou Chen, the three people in the private room stood up. In addition to Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, there was another person whom Zhou Chen also knew. He was their classmate and the same batch of educated youth, Wu Tianhua.

Zhou Chen nodded at them. He was very familiar with Mao Ditu and Yang Huajian, but he had an average relationship with Wu Tianhua.

Yang Huajian saw Zhou Chen's confusion and said with a smile: "I called Wu Tianhua here. I have a lot of business dealings with him now."

After they sat down, Wu Tianhua took the initiative to speak to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, I heard from Yang Huajian that you are still teaching at Peking University?"

Zhou Chen smiled and replied, "Yes."

Mao Tutu said, "Let me tell you, Zhou Chen is now a professor at Peking University. Among our classmates and educated youth, he is definitely ranked first in terms of professional title."

Yang Huajian was surprised and said, "Really? I didn't hear you mention it when we had dinner together last time. You are rising really fast."

"Okay."

"But I really don't understand, with your current wealth, why do you insist on staying in school to teach? Being a professor sounds good, but if you go into business, none of us can compare to you."

Yang Huajian has made a lot of money over the years and his social status has been constantly improving, so he still doesn't quite understand Zhou Chen's idea of ​​giving up a good job as a big boss of a business and insisting on teaching.

Zhou Chen said: "I'm used to it. I've been teaching for ten years. I'm used to the feeling of teaching and educating people. It's just like when you do business, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment when you succeed in a deal. The same is true for me teaching and educating people."

Mao Ditu smiled and said to Yang Huajian: "Yang Huajian, forget it. I have advised him eight hundred times, but he never listened once. It would be strange if you could convince him."

"Ha ha……"

Yang Huajian laughed and stopped persuading them. Instead, he called the waiters and asked them to serve the food immediately.

After the food and drinks were served, the four of them started eating without any hesitation, drinking and chatting about their past days in school and when they joined the team.

It is an essential part for friends to sit together, drink and reminisce about the past, because talking about things that everyone has experienced is easier to resonate with.

Yang Huajian called him and Mao Ditu over today, there must be something going on, but Zhou Chen was very patient and not in a hurry at all. He just waited for Yang Huajian to bring it up.

During this period, Wu Tianhua winked at Yang Huajian several times, but Yang Huajian did not respond and continued to talk to Zhou Chen about irrelevant topics.

The four of them quickly finished two bottles of white wine, and Yang Huajian, who was slightly drunk, finally started talking about business.

"Zhou Chen, Mao Ditu, I called you here today because I have something I want to discuss with you."

When they saw Yang Huajian start talking about business, the other three people in the private room sat up straight and their expressions became serious.

Half a pound of liquor is no big deal for those businessmen like them. Nowadays, basically any boss can drink it.

Mao Tutu glanced at Zhou Chen and saw that Zhou Chen was not ready to speak, so he asked, "Yang Huajian, what's the matter? Just tell me."

Yang Huajian said, "It's a business matter. Wu Tianhua and I got the news that the municipal government has a piece of land ready for bidding. The location of that land is very good. As far as I know, many people are eyeing that land. Wu Tianhua and I want to take that land and develop it together."

Mao Tutu couldn't wait to ask, "Which piece of land? Where is it?"

"at……"

After hearing the location Yang Huajian mentioned, Zhou Chen recalled carefully. He didn't remember the details, but he remembered that the area seemed to be a bustling commercial street later.

Yang Huajian said: "I have studied that place carefully. It is a very good location. I also heard from the grapevine that the district leader seems to be interested in developing that location. So if we can get that piece of land, even if we don't develop it ourselves, we can make a lot of money by selling it. If we develop it ourselves, as long as we can hold on, we will make even more money."

Wu Tianhua also said at this time: "Yang Huajian is right. The two of us have studied that piece of land for a long time and asked people everywhere. It can't be wrong."

Yang Huajian added, "We have been classmates and friends for so many years, so I won't hide it from you. Wu Tianhua and I want to take over that piece of land, but there are too many people eyeing it, and I'm afraid that the funds Wu Tianhua and I combined are far from enough. So I found you two, hoping that you can join us, and the four of us can take over this piece of land together, develop it together, and make money together."

Mao Ditu didn't say anything. Compared with Yang Huajian and Wu Tianhua, he trusted Zhou Chen more. If Zhou Chen was not interested, he would not invest easily.

The reason is very simple. Yang Huajian was unwilling to take him out to play at the beginning. He became rich thanks to Zhou Chen. He admired Zhou Chen's ability and vision very much. He felt that Yang Huajian was far inferior to Zhou Chen in terms of business.

Yang Huajian also realized this. Chenxing Supermarket is very popular now, and because it is in the retail industry, the cash flow is terrifying.

Even though Mao Ditu is only the second largest shareholder of Chenxing Supermarket, his strength is actually not much worse than his.

He valued Mao's map, but he valued Zhou Chen more because he knew how terrifying Zhou Chen's current strength was.

Not to mention Chenxing Supermarket, even Zhoushi Small Commodity Store is very large in scale, and now it has dozens of branches in several urban areas around Yanjing.

With the income from these two industries, Zhou Chen is the strongest among his friends, so when he thinks of funding issues, he thinks of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was very calm. If what Yang Huajian and Wu Tianhua said was true, the land was very large and the price must be amazing.

Although there are many people in China who have become rich by taking advantage of the reform and opening up, the real top rich are still very rare. Many large-scale land developments in China are taken over by foreign capital.

So if there is competition for this land, there will be a lot of competitors.

"Yang Huajian, Wu Tianhua, according to your estimation, how much can we get if we bid for this piece of land?"

Yang Huajian and Wu Tianhua looked at each other and said, "We estimate that it is at least 50 million."

"Ouch."

Mao Ditu was shocked. This number was really scary. You have to know that his current total wealth is still far from this number.

Zhou Chen was not surprised. Instead, he felt it was a bargain. After all, such a large piece of land, in his opinion, would not be expensive even if it doubled, let alone 50 million.

However, he has never invested in real estate in this world so far, and according to his idea, he has no plans to do so.

Because he is really rich now. In the view of Mao Ditu and Yang Huajian, his money is basically earned from supermarkets and small commodity markets.

But in fact, this is only part of it. He still has a lot of money, which he made from fleecing the Hong Kong stock market.

He made a fortune in the stock market crash a few years ago. Although it was not a lot, it was more than what he made from his two industries in recent years.

He didn't dare to make more money, on the one hand because he was afraid of attracting attention, and on the other hand, maybe because it was a parallel world, although there was still a stock market crash, there were still big differences in the details, so he was not successful every time he made a move.

"So how much money are you planning to raise?"

Yang Huajian said, "Eighty million. There are four of us. Each of us will invest twenty million and the shares will be divided equally. What do you think?"

"Twenty million?"

Mao Tutu was startled and said quickly: "Yang Huajian, let me tell you, I can't come up with 20 million."

He has made a lot of money in the past few years, but he has also spent a lot of money. Buying a house, a car, and all kinds of enjoyment all cost money. He doesn't even have 10 million in cash savings now, so where can he get 20 million?

Wu Tianhua said: "I don't have 20 million either, but we can find a way, such as a bank loan, or mortgage, etc. There is always a way."

Mao Tutu hesitated and asked, "Is it too risky to do this?"

Yang Huajian said in a firm tone: "High risk, high return. If we can't get it, we don't have to pay. But if we can get it, the return will be far more than 20 million. This is a business that is guaranteed to make money."

Mao Ditu curled his lips. He did have an adventurous spirit, but what Yang Huajian was talking about was not just a simple adventure, but a gamble of his entire fortune.

If he was alone before, he would definitely agree impulsively, but now he has a wife and children, a happy family. He does not have the courage to give up his good life and gamble everything.

"I think 20 million is too much. How about we add some more people, such as Han Chunming. He is Zhou Chen's brother-in-law now, and his business is also very big. We can let him join us."

Mao's map proposal surprised Zhou Chen and the other two.

However, Yang Huajian said, "Forget about Han Chunming. He can't afford much money right now."

"How to say?"

Although Mao Tutu was asking Yang Huajian, his eyes were on Zhou Chen.

Yang Huajian said: "This kid is now doing a lot of things, running a restaurant, doing real estate, and doing border trade. Let alone 20 million, even if it's 2 million, I don't think he can come up with it in a short time."

He and Han Chunming are old partners. Han Chunming, like him, is also involved in real estate, so he thought of Han Chunming at the beginning.

Unfortunately, after he learned about Han Chunming's financial situation, he had no other ideas.

Zhou Chen nodded at Mao's map. Han Chunming's financial situation was indeed not that good, otherwise he would not have been so desperate to get money from him.

"Zhou Chen, what do you think?" Mao Didi still looked at Zhou Chen.

Under the gaze of the three people, Zhou Chen remained calm and thought seriously for a while.

"Yang Huajian, do you have the specific documents? If you do, give them to me to study and I will give you a reply in two days."

In fact, he didn't really want to participate, but Yang Huajian had already come to him, and it would be too disrespectful if he refused directly.

"The district's documents haven't been released yet, but I can get you a copy. There's no rush anyway, as the bidding for that piece of land will take some time."

"That's great. Have someone send the documents to me and I'll study it as soon as possible. If it really works, I'll definitely invest. Money is not a problem."

Hearing this, Yang Huajian and Wu Tianhua both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Huajian was very familiar with Zhou Chen's strength, and Wu Tianhua also learned about Zhou Chen's strength from Yang Huajian, so if Zhou Chen could join them, their chances of bidding would be greatly improved.

After the discussion, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became much more cheerful, and the four of them began to clink glasses again.

As the dinner was almost over, Yang Huajian brought up another matter that was related to all four of them.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 671: Educated Youth Reunion

"I have discussed with Lao Wu, Lu Hong and others and we are thinking of holding another gathering of educated youth. What do you think?"

Yang Huajian stated his purpose and asked Zhou Chen and Mao Didi.

Mao Tutu shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I don't have any ideas. If you can get everyone together, I will definitely go. I heard that many of our educated youth who went to the countryside to work have done well. It would be good to get everyone together and strengthen their relationships."

"What Mao Tutu said is correct. We also have this plan. Those of us who go into business must know how to utilize resources."

Yang Huajian agreed very much with Mao's words, and he wanted to hold a gathering of educated youth with this in mind.

Zhou Chen laughed, he felt that a big reason why Yang Huajian wanted to show off was because he was quite successful now.

As a man who is vain, cares about face and likes to show off, he certainly needs an occasion like this where he can show off to his heart's content.

Zhou Chen said: "I have no objection, just let me know when the time comes."
