Chapter 571: Five Hundred and Sixty-Six Investment Truths

"Brother Zhu Zi, do you know how much money I can earn a day now?"

Gu Chen asked Wu Dazhu in this way.

Wu Dazhu responded vaguely, "I’ve guessed a bit; it should be in the five figures, right?"

As the bank branch manager, he had a relatively good understanding of money matters.

He had done some calculations on the industries Gu Chen had in his hands.

Even without saying much, earning a five-figure sum daily was definitely possible.

This was also why he hadn’t hesitated to approve two million for Gu Chen before.

Because of Gu Chen’s income, his ability to obtain funds was very strong.

One could say that there were hardly any in Chuan City who were stronger than him.

Even if Gu Chen went bankrupt one day, those industries in his hands would sell for a high price.

Because the income they could generate daily was too high.

Upon hearing Wu Dazhu’s guess, Gu Chen couldn’t help but smile.

He had thought Wu Dazhu would know about his other bank deposits as well.

It seemed that the confidentiality work between the banks was well done.

"My café is now earning over ten thousand a day, and my internet café is creating over forty thousand in revenue every day."

He didn’t mention anything else; he only spoke about these two.

Wu Dazhu gasped when he heard it.

He knew that cafés and internet cafés made money, but he didn’t expect them to earn this much.

"Your costs are this low?" Wu Dazhu asked incredulously.

He knew how much Gu Chen could sell in a day, like how the café could bring in ten thousand a day.

But he had originally thought at least eighty percent was the cost, especially since the coffee sold was so expensive.

But now hearing that Gu Chen could take home over ten thousand,

Didn’t that mean the cost of one cup of coffee was less than one percent!

He was a bit shocked.

"As for this bar, I estimate it makes at least two thousand and above every day."

"It’s just that it needs some investment in the early stages, like renovations. Big Brother Da Zhu, are you interested? If you are, I can pull you in. If you’re not, just pretend I didn’t say anything."

Gu Chen didn’t insist on having Wu Dazhu join in the venture.

If Wu Dazhu wasn’t willing, then so be it.

A profitable business like this, he could manage on his own.

Just then, Wu Dazhu suddenly spoke up, "Hold on, what’s the rush? Let me think about it."

Wu Dazhu saw the anxious look on Gu Chen and was somewhat speechless.

After hearing this, Gu Chen laughed. He found Wu Dazhu’s hesitation quite amusing.

So he didn’t hurry and just sat down, casually picking up the tea to slowly savor it.

Wu Dazhu deliberated seriously for quite a while.

After he had finished contemplating, he looked at Gu Chen very formally.

"How much money do you need now?" he asked Gu Chen.

"Money? I don’t need money," Gu Chen didn’t understand what Wu Dazhu meant.

"You’re short on cash? Aren’t you looking for investment?" Wu Dazhu was taken aback.

Hearing Wu Dazhu’s words, Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh.

"Brother Zhu Zi, coming up with a million at this level is still no problem for me now.

Buying this dance hall would cost six hundred thousand; only a hundred thousand for renovations would already be quite aggressive.

Maybe for hiring staff, advertising, and stocking up on some alcohol, it would not exceed fifty thousand."

Gu Chen had the funds for this.

And even if he didn’t have enough, Gu Chen had ways to raise these funds within a day.

To him, this was not difficult.

In the internet café, Qiwei Vegetarian, and the café, all operated a membership system.

Customers could get better prices or benefits by topping up their membership cards.

This thing could actually allow Gu Chen to raise a large sum of money within a few days.

Especially at Qiwei Vegetarian and the coffee shop, these two places now basically have a fixed clientele.

Those customers would spend money every day, so if there really was a membership card system, they’d definitely sign up for it.

In this regard, Gu Chen was not worried at all.

"You’re not short on money? Then what do you need me to do?" Wu Dazhu was bewildered at this point.

He couldn’t fathom what Gu Chen was thinking.

"Big Brother, just because I’m looking for you doesn’t mean I’m short on cash.

I just think it’d be nice for us to work together, to promote our friendship, you know."

Gu Chen said cheerfully.

After he finished speaking, Wu Dazhu didn’t take his words seriously.

Instead, he started to seriously think things through.

He pondered what he could do to help.

Soon, he realized something.

"Do you need connections?" he asked Gu Chen.

"Right. I need customers; in places like bars, wealthy customers are often the biggest source of income."

Gu Chen also spoke truthfully to him.

Upon hearing this, Wu Dazhu sighed and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes

He said to Gu Chen, "Little Brother Gu, if it’s connections you’re after, I’m afraid I’m really not the man for the job now.

There are some things you don’t know; my connections these days, alas."

He sighed deeply, his face full of sorrow.

"What happened? With your status, meeting people shouldn’t be difficult, right?" Gu Chen asked curiously.

"Half a year ago, I invested in an airline, in the name of Chuan City Bank.

Later, I was fooled by that son of a gun’s sweet talk and even brought him many investors.

Then the bastard just dumped the mess on me.

All those investors were in it because of my face; now that things have gone south, of course, they all came to me."

He spoke with a lot of bitterness, and his eyes were filled with helplessness.

Gu Chen instantly understood what was going on upon hearing this.

It was the aviation investment incident.

He had thought that the investors from other companies had volunteered for the investment.

He didn’t expect that it was Wu Dazhu who had lured those people into buying shares.

Legally speaking, Wu Dazhu actually had no direct involvement.

But from a moral standpoint, Wu Dazhu was in a very tough spot.

"Since then, my friends have withdrawn all their money stored with me, causing me a devastating downfall in an instant.

The higher-ups are pushing me for business, and if I don’t meet the targets, I’ll have to give up my position.

Fortunately, Tian Fu came to me and helped me out.

He vouched for me with those investors in his own name.

Do you know why those three real estate companies are only being dealt with now?"

Wu Dazhu asked Gu Chen.

Gu Chen shook his head after hearing that; he really hadn’t thought about it.

"Because back then, Tian Fu got a lot of friends who had been screwed over by me to invest in those three companies.

To enable them to make back what they had lost, that’s why the handling of those three companies had been delayed!"

After Wu Dazhu said this, Gu Chen felt his scalp tingle.

He really didn’t know there was so much going on behind the scenes.

"For my sake, Tian Fu really put in a lot of effort and cleared the debts of those old friends over the years.

Now your project is meant to cover the hole I left behind."

As he spoke, Wu Dazhu’s face visibly relaxed a lot.
