Chapter 584: Five hundred and seventy-nine must pay money.

Gu Chen truly didn’t know the truth of the matter, it wasn’t Wei Tianfu who had betrayed Wu Dazhu.

On the contrary, it was Wei Tianfu who was helping Wu Dazhu.

Every time Gu Chen thought about the words Liu Dahai had said to him, he became filled with anger.

Luckily, he had gone to find Wei Tianfu in time.

Otherwise, he feared that he would have really fallen into this trap.

"Little Brother Gu, I’m afraid this business deal might not work out," Wu Dazhu shook his head.

He currently had no such connections.

His old friends no longer had the same trust in him, Wu Dazhu, as before.

Many had even stopped contacting him.

"No worries, we can take it step by step.

Maybe by that time, the bar’s patrons could directly become customers of our Chuan City Bank," Gu Chen said to Wu Dazhu.

"But I can’t just invest empty-handed," Wu Dazhu shook his head again.

Gu Chen wasn’t short of money, and besides money, he had nothing else to offer Gu Chen.

At this point, Gu Chen thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, in the future the money for stocking the bar with drinks, we split seventy-thirty, you give thirty percent, I’ll give seventy.

The profits from the bar will also be split seventy-thirty, you take thirty percent, I take seventy."

He said this to Wu Dazhu.

Wu Dazhu felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this.

Such an investment felt like he was trying to freeload off someone else’s business.

"No, no, no, if you buy that dance hall, your initial investment will definitely be more than mine.

How about this, we split the cost of stocking drinks sixty-forty, I’ll put in forty percent, you put in sixty.

The profits, we can do as you said, I’ll take thirty percent, you take seventy," Wu Dazhu voluntarily proposed to take on a larger share of the investment.

Seeing this, Gu Chen didn’t continue to insist.

The partnership between the two was thus completely confirmed at this time.

According to what Wu Dazhu said, the dance hall was going to start the auction tomorrow.

He immediately went to find Old Zhang.

Old Zhang was currently busy dealing with various matters within the company.

The scale of the company was growing larger and larger.

They had not stopped recruiting during this period.

After the three companies closed down, there was already a large number of unemployed people in the market.

According to Gu Chen, that meant keeping the elite troops and disregarding the ordinary ones.

Moreover, there were requirements for these top-notch employees.

The first was that they could not work with the same mindset they had at their previous three companies.

If they did, they would be fired immediately!

When Gu Chen arrived at the company, many people who passed by would greet him with a "Director Gu."

Nobody was unaware of Gu Chen’s name, after all, he had already appeared on television.

Gu Chen made his way to the seventh floor, which housed the offices and the conference room.

Upon reaching this floor, Gu Chen looked for Old Zhang.

Eventually, he found Old Zhang in the conference room.

Old Zhang was currently in the midst of a meeting with the management team.

Gu Chen stood at the door, and soon someone noticed him.

Following the gaze of others, Old Zhang turned to look at the door, and seeing Gu Chen, he quickly stood up and went to open the door for him.

"Director Gu, please come in. We are currently discussing the redevelopment of old residential areas," Old Zhang said after he had learned quite a bit from reading books on how to lead teams in a company.

So, he was very clear in explaining to Gu Chen what the meeting was about.

"I haven’t interrupted you, have I?" Gu Chen asked with a smile as he entered.

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang quickly shook his head, "How could it be an interruption."

"All right, then continue your meeting. Director Zhang, come to my office later," Gu Chen said not calling Old Zhang by his name to not undermine his authority.

"Okay," Old Zhang knew that if Gu Chen sought him out, it was certainly for something important.

However, before Gu Chen left, he turned back to Old Zhang and the management team to give one more piece of advice.

"Don’t work too hard, everyone. The renovation isn’t that troublesome, just ensure quality and safety," he said.

"Thank you, Director Gu."

"Thank you, Director Gu."

...

Gu Chen had been waiting in his office for almost ten minutes or so.

Then, Old Zhang knocked on the door from outside and came in.

"Director Gu."

After entering, he sat down opposite Gu Chen.

Gu Chen poured him a glass of water and took the opportunity to say, "Don’t worry too much lately, look how much hair you’ve lost."

Old Zhang laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Right now, he had no mind to care about his thinning hair.

"The day after tomorrow, our company is going to attend the signing event. Come with me," Gu Chen said to Old Zhang.

Old Zhang nodded in understanding after hearing this.

Then, Gu Chen brought up another matter.

"I’ve been planning to open a bar lately, something similar to a dance hall.

But as you know, getting the word out isn’t great at the moment.

So, I’m thinking of buying the dance hall and then you rent it, running the bar under your name."

This time, Gu Chen was straightforward with Old Zhang, not beating around the bush.

Old Zhang was initially stunned.

But after just a few seconds, Old Zhang very confidently said, "Okay, what do I need to do?"

He didn’t even ask what kind of place this bar was.

It seemed he wasn’t worried at all that Gu Chen might cheat him.

"I’ll tell you tomorrow," Gu Chen said.

"Okay, I’ll wait for your call tomorrow."

With the matter settled, everything was ready.

Gu Chen hadn’t expected Old Zhang to agree so readily.

He had thought Old Zhang would at least ask what the bar was all about, among other things.

But Old Zhang didn’t ask; he seemed completely unconcerned.

Gu Chen could feel that Old Zhang had full trust in him.

In turn, Gu Chen also had a lot of trust in Old Zhang.

After all, running the bar under Old Zhang’s name meant that the bar would belong to him.

If there were any disputes later, it would be very troublesome.

After sorting out these matters, Gu Chen checked on his current finances.

He had to come up with the six hundred thousand for the auction tomorrow.

First, he visited the internet café.

From the beginning until now, the internet café had been operating for nearly fifty days.

Currently, there was over eight hundred thousand inside the café.

This was all profit earned.

Gu Chen directly took the money, planning to use it for tomorrow’s auction.

Afterward, Gu Chen drove home.

When he got home, he quickly brewed some medicine and took it to Xiao Meng.

After delivering the medicine, Gu Chen returned home to start cooking.

With eight people to feed every day, the rice and flour in the house were used up very quickly.

For their appetite, cooking rice every day required making four "inner cores," and sometimes a few extra steamed buns were necessary to make sure everyone could eat their fill.

That was the only way to ensure they had enough to eat.

By evening, all of them had come back.

Gu Chen had the meal already prepared.

Everything was normal.

But after dinner, Gu Chen had something to discuss with the six of them.
