Chapter 712: 707 - A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years

However, he felt that although this matter was unexpected, it was also within reason.

If it had not been for his hatred toward the Qianyang Commerce Association, how could he have possibly come to understand it so deeply?

Just now, as he gritted his teeth in anger, Gu Chen had guessed that he must have some other relationship with the Qianyang Commerce Association.

"So, what you’re trying hard to do now is all for the sake of revenge, right?"

Gu Chen asked what exactly Li Yong wanted to do.

He needed to understand what sort of mentality Li Yong harbored?

Frankly speaking, although the rage in one’s heart can be the source of motivation, it can also lead to errors in judgment due to that anger. He, Li Yong, could afford to make mistakes, but Gu Chen couldn’t.

He had to be extremely cautious with every move he made now, so he needed to figure out whether this Li Yong was reliable or not.

Although he sympathized with Li Yong’s plight, he could not stake all his enterprises on Li Yong’s quest for vengeance.

"Boss Gu, you can rest assured, I understand what you’re thinking. I’m not the kind of person who acts without thinking. I’m very clear about what should be done and what shouldn’t.

What I really want to do now is to prevent more people from being harmed by the Qianyang Commerce Association.

The things that the Qianyang Commerce Association has done are simply too excessive."

At this point, he seemed to understand what Gu Chen was worried about, so he made this promise to Gu Chen directly.

To clarify to Gu Chen that at this moment, he was in a state of clear-headedness, rather than being muddle-headed.

Gu Chen nodded upon hearing this, feeling reassured by his words. He had nothing else to worry about; his only concern was that this guy might become emotionally unstable and cause some trouble.

"Gentlemen, shall we discuss what our next steps should be?"

Old Yuan said from the side.

After saying this, Li Yong couldn’t wait to say, "What we need to do now is quite simple: prepare for the very real possibility of going bankrupt in advance.

For example, for our bar’s suppliers, starting today, we should hurry up and place an order for stock.

Otherwise, if they suddenly monopolize our drinks, then we’re finished.

And for other things, we should make preparations in advance wherever we can."

At this moment, he was very excited, as though he had entered a wartime era.

Gu Chen, however, hesitated after hearing his words. If they went according to what Li Yong said, it would mean a large stockpile of drinks would have to be amassed, which was not easy for Gu Chen to do right now.

First and foremost, it’s worth mentioning that the bar’s drinks were selling for tens of thousands of yuan every day, and how much drink was that?

If he had to maintain normal sales for ten days, he would need at least four hundred thousand yuan to purchase that stock.

And ten days would not be enough—realistically speaking, if he were to stock up, he would need to sustain for a month.

And a month would mean he had to come up with over a million yuan right now.

He, Gu Chen, had that one million yuan, but if he spent it and then the situation turned out differently from what he had anticipated,

for instance, if his bar was suddenly forced to close, then what would he do with all that stored drink? No fool would take over a million yuan’s worth of drinks.

So at this moment, Gu Chen had numerous concerns weighing on his mind.

He did not dare to casually buy so much wine.

"Boss Gu, I think we cannot lose the big picture over small things. We really need to prepare for this. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets. Eventually, the wine will be sold, our bar is right here, and the amount of wine we can sell each day is fixed. We do not need to keep too much, just enough for one month will suffice."

After he had said this, Gu Chen directly asked him, "Do you know how much wine our bar can sell in a day?"

The guy in front of him was taken aback for a moment and then shook his head.

"Let me tell you, our bar sells at least tens of thousands of yuan worth of wine each day. If we were to prepare for one month, it would require nearly two million yuan in costs.

If it doesn’t sell, then all these wines can only rot here at my place."

After Gu Chen had said this, Li Yong was instantly shocked beyond belief.

"The bar can sell that much wine?"

Before, Li Yong thought the bar made just over ten thousand, less than twenty thousand a day.

So he figured they only needed a few hundred thousand yuan at most. He hadn’t expected Gu Chen to sell so much wine every day.

If that were the case, it would mean that Gu Chen would need to have at least a seven-figure sum to maintain his stock.

This risk was indeed much bigger than what he had previously imagined.

After all, if this seven-figure sum was all lost, it would be hard to make it back.

Old Yuan was frowning at this moment, seemingly at a loss and unsure of what to do.

In the end, Li Yong could only say this, "If that’s the case, then the best solution could only be one, and that is to reserve all the spots in the bar in advance.

Or even, we could directly rent the bar out on a temporary lease.

Later, after we have weathered this storm, we can start again. After all, it’s just laying low for a while.

It’s not bankruptcy, so it’s not considered a failure by any means. There’s a saying that ’a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.’

Back then, I was too young and impulsive, and that very night I went to take my revenge on them.

But you should be able to see the consequences I bore. Sometimes, I often regret that I wish I hadn’t been so impulsive back then."

At this moment, Li Yong wasn’t thinking about anything else; he just didn’t want Gu Chen to follow in his footsteps.

For Li Yong, his past was a humiliating Chapter that he deeply regretted, a mistake he truly hoped Gu Chen wouldn’t repeat.

"Is there a possibility that I could take over all the fields of their Qianyang Commerce?"

After Gu Chen said this, both of them were dumbfounded.

"Take over everything? What do you mean? Are you going to buy their stocks?" Li Yong asked, puzzled.

"No, what I mean is, since they have their own networks in every industry, if I were to start a company in every industry, wouldn’t that give us the strength to rival them?"

After Gu Chen had finished speaking, he clearly saw the corners of their mouths twitch.

Meanwhile, the way they looked at Gu Chen was a bit off, as if they were looking at someone with a mental illness.

"Boss Gu, have you been too tired lately?" Old Yuan asked, a bit concerned.
