Chapter 716: 711, also need an invitation?

"This doesn’t even include your current revenue from Ping’an Real Estate. If we take into account the profits you can generate from it, earning a nine-figure sum per year should be no problem for you."

As he said this, Xiao Wang beside him was instantly dumbstruck.

He looked at Gu Chen with eyes full of disbelief. Earning six figures in a day, nine figures in a year – was this even humanly possible?

Xiao Wang had never imagined Gu Chen to be so capable, nor that he could earn so much money every day.

In that moment, he seemed to understand why Gu Chen was so ambitious. It turned out he really did have the financial means.

"However, Gu Chen, I must remind you of the saying ’grasping for too much leads to losing all.’ For us, taking a small loss is not a big deal.

We didn’t come here to declare war. If they are only taking a slender profit, we can let that go, right? We don’t need to end up in a situation where both the fish dies and the net splits.

At the very least, it’s not the right time for us now.

Even if we wait and delay a little longer, one day in Haicheng,

even just in Chuan City, if we can secure our own territory, that will be enough.

So Gu Chen, if their demands are really not too excessive this time, we could actually consider, think about whether or not to agree to them."

Old Yuan said this with a heavy heart to Gu Chen, all these words were spoken for Gu Chen’s benefit.

Gu Chen, of course, understood the meaning behind his words. Put simply, Old Yuan hoped he would yield a little.

But deep in his heart, Gu Chen didn’t want to yield even one step; in fact, he was even eager to advance further and test the waters.

However, he also knew that now was not the time to be impatient. If he acted too hastily, it could very likely backfire on him.

"Alright, I get it. If their demands are not too excessive, it’s not out of the question, but if they are indeed too unreasonable, then there’s nothing to discuss," Gu Chen said.

With Gu Chen’s words, Old Yuan could finally rest assured.

He had no other choice; he understood Gu Chen’s personality all too well. He really suspected that if he didn’t say anything, Gu Chen would very likely face off against them.

If regret came at that time, it would be too late, and he could not allow such a thing to happen under his watch.

"Speaking of which, Gu Chen, I almost forgot to ask, did you notify Ping’an Real Estate before coming here?"

Old Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked Gu Chen.

"I’ve given them a heads up. I told them to talk with the suppliers in advance and sign a few more contracts," Gu Chen replied.

Gu Chen would naturally make the necessary preparations. Everything else could pause, but Ping’an Real Estate absolutely could not. If work there stopped, it would be a big deal.

"You’ve done well. It’s indeed important to notify them. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

However, I think Qi Yang won’t be that foolish. After all, this is a Wei Family project.

He should recognize the Wei Family and would not, because of you, provoke the Wei Family. Provoking them would bring him more harm than good," Old Yuan added.

Gu Chen knew this very well in his heart. He was aware that this person wouldn’t dare to provoke the Wei Family. In fact, he didn’t need to make too many preparations.

After all, this was a matter between him and Wei Tianfu. If this person provoked Wei Tianfu because of him, Gu Chen believed that Wei Tianfu would not let him off lightly.

More crucially, with his capability, facing off against Wei Tianfu was futile. As long as Tian Fu remained in Chuan City, he would have no way to contend with Wei Tianfu.

The three of them just sat in the hotel and chatted casually, ranging from the far south to the distant north.

From ordinary street stalls to today’s five-star hotels, they discussed a variety of topics during their conversation.

Old Yuan mentioned that he dreamed of owning a hotel like this one.

Gu Chen was still very interested when he heard about it; hotels are quite profitable after all.

Even if he invested now, it wouldn’t be a loss in the future, and even if there were losses, they wouldn’t amount to much.

However, he wondered whether to lease or to buy one outright, as the latter option would likely lead to an increase in property value over time.

That way, the hotel wouldn’t suffer too severe losses.

Of course, regarding the matter of property prices, Gu Chen had no intention of discussing this with Old Yuan.

He simply told Old Yuan that if one day he wanted to open a hotel and lacked the funds, he could always come to him, as he could provide a certain amount of financial support.

Time passed, and it was almost 2:30 in the afternoon.

The invitation from the Tian Fu Commerce Association was about to come to fruition.

Gu Chen and his two companions left the hotel and took Xiao Wang’s car to the hotel they had booked.

In high school, Old Yuan had repeatedly warned Gu Chen.

"Make sure you don’t start a fight, absolutely do not start a fight, unless it’s unavoidable, starting a fight would be troublesome!"

He was afraid that with Gu Chen’s temperament, a few words would lead to giving Tian Fu a sucker punch.

If Gu Chen threw that punch and didn’t get into trouble, it would mean he was extremely lucky.

At that time, not a single person at the event would let Gu Chen leave easily.

Not to mention whether physical force was needed to subdue Gu Chen, just the burden he would have to bear after leaving, would be fatal for him.

For the current Gu Chen, bearing such burdens would be virtually impossible.

After listening, he nodded but still spoke with a helpless tone—as if he felt dependent and uncomfortable.

Upon arrival outside the hotel, they saw a lively scene with numerous luxury cars.

It was clear to see some local Haicheng ’leopard’ license plates present there.

The scene looked incredibly dominant, as if all of Haicheng’s prominent figures had arrived.

Outside the hotel, numerous security personnel were checking, creating an atmosphere where it seemed no one without membership qualifications could enter.

When people arrived by car, security staff immediately approached.

A security officer knocked on the window, and Xiao Wang lowered it a bit.

Then they heard the security officer’s voice, "Do you have an invitation to enter, sir?"

He was asking Gu Chen.

Gu Chen frowned upon hearing this, puzzled by what he meant. He hadn’t received an invitation; he was directly invited over the phone.

"Sorry, I don’t have an invitation. Someone called to invite us," Gu Chen said at that moment.

However, the security officer shook his head after hearing this.

"I’m sorry to inform you, but without an invitation, entry is not permitted; this applies to everyone," he responded without expression.

There was no hint of mockery in the security officer’s demeanor, probably because Xiao Wang’s car was also worth hundreds of thousands.

Clearly, they were not the type to come for a free meal; they should be business owners from Haicheng.
