Stay Home Daddy: I Was Reborn After My Daughter Passed Away
Chapter 569: Five hundred and sixty-four, this isn’t a printing press for money.

Chapter 569: Five hundred and sixty-four, this isn’t a printing press for money.

Looking at his unwavering gaze, Gu Chen was moved by him.

After finishing the hot pot, there wasn’t much else to do for today.

There would be a signing ceremony seven days later.

That was when he, on behalf of his company, would sign the contract with Wei Tianfu.

Once the contract was signed, the cooperation would be set in stone, beyond the reach of change by anyone.

The following seven days were also the time for him to prepare well.

Previously, Wei Tianfu had never mentioned renovating those neighborhoods.

It caught him off guard.

In front of so many people, Wei Tianfu had made his statement, and the work had to be done.

To reconstruct so many neighborhoods would require a considerable sum...

Chuan City Bank.

Regarding the matter of money, he of course needed to have a good talk with Wu Dazhu.

And while at it, ask how he should go about dealing with this issue.

Wu Dazhu poured Gu Chen a cup of hot tea.

Then, maintaining his professional smile, he cheerfully asked Gu Chen, "Director Gu, what brings you here today?"

"It’s about the money."

As soon as Gu Chen stated this, Wu Dazhu’s face tensed up.

The next second, his mouth twitched a couple of times.

He looked at Gu Chen somewhat incredulously.

"Money? Has that million been spent already? Director Gu, you really burn through money fast. Though this is a bank, it’s not a mint."

He was somewhat startled by the speed at which Gu Chen spent money.

He had just taken a million from here not long ago, and now he was here again talking about money issues.

"It’s not about that million," Gu Chen said.

Not that million? Then what was it about? Wu Dazhu looked at him puzzled.

But Gu Chen soon revealed the reason for his visit.

"I mainly want to know, Brother Wei mentioned rebuilding the neighborhoods, so where will the money for that come from?"

After Gu Chen finished speaking, Wu Dazhu let out a sigh of relief.

He had thought Gu Chen was really there to ask him for money.

Turns out it was just to inquire about this matter.

He decisively assured Gu Chen, "Little Brother Gu, don’t worry about this. About this money, come to me in five days and I guarantee you a big surprise."

In five days? A surprise?

Can you explain to me what a surprise means?

Gu Chen had wanted to ask more, but seeing Wu Dazhu basking in the joy of keeping him in suspense, he decided not to pry any further.

"Then I’ll have to trouble Big Brother Da Zhu."

After speaking, Gu Chen got up and left.

Wu Dazhu, left behind in the office, stared blankly at the departing figure of Gu Chen.

He was completely dumbfounded.

That’s it? Not even inquiring about the surprise?

He hadn’t expected Gu Chen to lack even the slightest bit of curiosity.

It made him feel almost like a fool, a bit embarrassingly so.

Gu Chen, already departed, truly didn’t care for whatever surprise there might be.

For him, as long as there were no issues with the finances, that was enough.

Otherwise, he would have to reach into his own pocket.

In the card from Chuan City Bank, only a million was left now.

Gu Chen wouldn’t grimace at spending it, but the thought of dipping into his own earned money caused him some distress.

However, he also planned to tally up just how much money he still had in the near future.

Combining all his enterprises, the net profit generated daily was close to a hundred thousand yuan.

Ever since half a month ago, Gu Chen had not gone to consolidate those funds.

Especially with the internet café, from the first day of business to today, he had not gone to the café to withdraw his share of the earnings.

Similarly with the coffee shop, the bills had piled up like a small mountain, yet Gu Chen hadn’t dealt with them.

The final act was the Xiao Bai wine.

The first batch of one hundred thousand bottles sold out.

From the second batch of three hundred thousand bottles, there were fewer than fifty thousand bottles left in stock.

Now, Gu Chen was on his way to the factory to get production started on the third batch of Xiao Bai wine.

After arriving at the factory, he placed an order for the third batch, a total of six hundred thousand bottles.

Calculating the cost, it came to a total of one million yuan.

Gu Chen directly used one million from Chuan City Bank to cover the cost.

Now, the money in Chuan City Bank had been completely spent by him.

However, he wasn’t worried; after all, it was to subsidize himself, he’d replenish wherever he desired.

If there really was a problem with the funds, he could come up with two million yuan if needed, and he’d just top it up again himself.

In the blink of an eye, five days flew by.

During these five days, Gu Chen had hired five new employees at the Xiao Bai wine company, all of them for the copywriting team.

The Xiao Bai wine company was thriving, with a stable daily shipment of around fifteen thousand bottles, give or take.

This meant that the daily net profit, after deducting all costs, was about eighty-seven thousand yuan.

The internet café made forty thousand a day, the coffee shop thirteen thousand, Qiwei Vegetarian five thousand, and the florist four thousand.

All these income streams combined meant the current daily earnings could reach nearly one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.

Yet, the internet café was no longer as booming as in the beginning.

The hype had gradually declined over this month-plus period.

Essentially, everyone who wanted to try the computers had done so.

The remaining people would not come at the current prices.

Today, Gu Chen went to find Wu Dazhu.

The promised surprise was also to be revealed today.

When he arrived at his office, he saw Wu Dazhu, radiant with excitement, sitting there humming a tune and snacking on dried fruits.

Upon seeing Gu Chen, he urged him to sit down quickly.

"Little Brother, you’ve come at just the right time, the matter has just been settled," Wu Dazhu said to him with a chuckle.

Gu Chen didn’t know what matter he was referring to.

A question that should have been asked five days ago, Gu Chen was only asking now, "What’s the surprise?"

Wu Dazhu’s mouth twitched.

But eventually, he said indifferently, "The issue with the money has been completely resolved."

"Moon Star Real Estate, Green Sky Real Estate, Tianyun Real Estate. After these three companies were shut down, all the funds within the companies were reclaimed.

A total of thirty-four million and twenty-thousand yuan was recovered, subtracting the cost of rebuilding those districts and the compensation paid to those residents.

The remaining funds could be about twenty-three million yuan.

However, out of these twenty-three million, we could get about five million in the end," Wu Dazhu told Gu Chen.

Gu Chen’s expression went from shock to speechlessness bit by bit.

"Why is it that out of so much money, we’re only left with five million in the end?" he asked.

After he asked this question, Wu Dazhu’s eyes bulged.

"So many people in Chuan City are waiting for their livelihood, there’s a need for money everywhere, and now that we finally have some funds, it’s only right to take care of all the unfinished business," he said.

"And besides, getting a share of five million is the largest cut."

Wu Dazhu felt helpless; he hadn’t expected Gu Chen to not understand the significance of this sum of money.

"Let me tell you, those who got a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, they’re already considered fortunate. What we have here is a hefty sum, something they can’t even envy," he explained.
