Chapter 570: Five hundred and sixty-five, I want that dance hall!

Gu Chen had no choice but to drop the matter.

Wu Dazhu hastened to add a few more words on the side.

"After this money comes down, consider it a subsidy or just working capital left for your company."

"Sometimes, unexpected issues can come up and you might suddenly go over budget, that’s quite normal. You need to prepare yourself in advance and ensure not to delay the project due to financial issues," Wu Dazhu advised Gu Chen.

The reason he issued this warning was because Gu Chen was spending money at an alarmingly fast rate.

The two million in Gu Chen’s hands were spent as quickly as running water.

He also greatly admired Gu Chen’s audacity, as he never hesitated when spending money.

"But recently, that nightclub owned by Liu Dahai is up for auction, he is now so deep in debt that he can’t cover it.

It’s uncertain how much the nightclub will sell for, but I estimate we might get a small share."

Wu Dazhu murmured to Gu Chen at that moment.

When Gu Chen heard that the nightclub was actually being sold, his eyes lit up immediately.

"The nightclub is for sale? How much do they expect it to go for?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

"Hard to say, there aren’t many people willing to buy that place right now. Whoever buys it will need to renovate it completely.

I reckon if it can bring in a little over six hundred thousand, that’d be a lot already.

You don’t know, according to these businessmen, Liu Dahai’s recent mishap has made that nightclub a bad omen for them, way too unlucky."

Wu Dazhu tried to explain briefly to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen heard that it would only cost six hundred thousand.

"I’ll take it for six hundred thousand," he said directly to Wu Dazhu.

Wu Dazhu immediately stopped the words he was about to say.

He then looked at Gu Chen in shock.

"You, you’ll take it?" he asked, somewhat unable to comprehend.

"Yes," Gu Chen nodded his head.

Seeing how serious Gu Chen was, Wu Dazhu couldn’t help saying, "What are you going to do with that place? Open a nightclub?"

"Not a nightclub, a bar," Gu Chen didn’t hide his intentions and said it straight out.

That left Wu Dazhu flabbergasted.

"What is a bar?" he asked, not understanding.

"A bar, it’s a place for drinking," Gu Chen explained to Wu Dazhu through the literal meaning of the word.

After hearing Gu Chen’s explanation, Wu Dazhu’s entire expression froze.

Bar, he knew by the name it was a place for drinking; he just wanted to inquire about what kind it was.

"Little Brother Gu, there’s something I’m not sure if I should say," he spoke with some reluctance.

Gu Chen could almost guess what he was going to say.

"Liu Dahai got locked up because he was involved in that kind of business.

You know, people these days, once they’ve had a bit to drink, they forget who they are.

In the current climate, if someone drinks too much and causes trouble at your place, it’s ultimately not good for you, and it might even implicate your Ping’an Real Estate."

What he said was not much different from what Gu Chen had guessed, which was what he expected Wu Dazhu to say.

However, Gu Chen shook his head with great determination and said, "Don’t worry, Brother Zhu Zi, I have a plan for this."

Is a bar chaotic? Chaotic, Gu Chen could say for sure.

But this business, he truly wanted to do it.

At this moment, Chuan City didn’t have any bars.

This business was truly highly profitable.

In the future, bars would be found all over the streets and alleys.

Mostly it’s refilled fake liquor, which makes even more money.

Gu Chen didn’t intend to resort to such practices; even using just genuine liquor would be enough to make a profit.

Suppose a bottle of whiskey with a wholesale price of two hundred could be paired with snacks that cost less than ten, along with a fruit medley that might look plentiful but actually amounted to less than a pound in total. Such a combination could be put together as a set meal, selling for two thousand without any issue.

If it really doesn’t work out, just adding some toys to the meal deal would suffice.

Wu Dazhu saw how resolute Gu Chen appeared to be, and at that moment, his face only showed hesitation.

He looked at Gu Chen with great concern.

Because he knew there was an underlying issue here.

He also didn’t want Gu Chen to go down the same path as Liu Dahai.

"Little brother, if you’re really set on doing this, as your big brother, I can’t stop you. I have to support you," he said.

"But can you listen to one piece of advice from your brother? Don’t use your name to open this bar."

He said this to Gu Chen, with a sense of helplessness in his voice.

This was almost one of the best ways to avoid risk.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment.

Open the bar under someone else’s name? Whose name?

Under Ji Pianran’s?

Originally, he didn’t have any particular concerns.

But after Old Zhang had spoken, Gu Chen really began to feel wary.

If in the future something were to go wrong, it would be a problem if it involved Ji Pianran.

"Anyway, you think it over carefully, I really don’t want you to follow in Liu Dahai’s footsteps.

Is the bar that profitable? Can’t we just open a restaurant or something?"

Wu Dazhu clearly couldn’t understand why Gu Chen wanted to open a bar.

At that time, Gu Chen directly told him, "It’s very profitable, with daily profits of at least twenty thousand."

After hearing Gu Chen’s words, Wu Dazhu was so frightened he fell off his stool.

He quickly stood up, staring intently at Gu Chen.

"Twenty thousand yuan? How can it earn twenty thousand yuan?" he asked, unable to comprehend.

Gu Chen just shrugged, saying the profit of twenty thousand yuan was an underestimate.

If he were to state a higher number, earning a hundred thousand a day wouldn’t be out of the question.

In the future, a substantial part of internet cafe owners’ earnings would still need to go towards marketing.

But currently, the concept of bar marketing didn’t even exist.

Gu Chen could give them a little, keeping the rest for himself.

That would lead to huge profits!

As the bank president of Chuan City, Wu Dazhu seemed as if he had never seen the world before at that moment.

But Gu Chen roughly understood that it wasn’t the twenty thousand yuan that shocked Wu Dazhu.

It was the fact that he had earned that sum through internet cafes, which he couldn’t grasp.

"Is it really that profitable?" Wu Dazhu asked Gu Chen.

"No less, only more," Gu Chen replied with certainty.

After listening to this, Wu Dazhu fell completely silent.

He said nothing then, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Big Brother Da Zhu, do you want to partner with me?" Gu Chen asked directly at this point.

He wanted to pull Wu Dazhu in on this.

Mainly because of Wu Dazhu’s status, and secondly, Wu Dazhu’s connections.

In places like bars, raking in a lot of money initially depends on those big clients.

Wu Dazhu was bound to know many of Chuan City’s wealthy, which were all his resources.

"Are you sure this is feasible?" Wu Dazhu still asked Gu Chen somewhat uneasily.

He found it too unbelievable. Just selling drinks could make so much money?

He had never heard of such a thing in his life.
