In the afternoon, under the leadership of Chen Shi, everyone walked around Shixi Road, but they found that following Chen Shi, walking was much faster than others, and it was not as crowded as it seemed.

Zheng Tong and Chen Jing's faces became more and more shocked, but Liu Cheng was there, so the two of them didn't ask anything. Liu Cheng didn't pay much attention to this, he didn't know much about Chen Shi, and he felt that Chen Shi was a well-informed person in his usual conversations, so he thought it was normal to do so.

In several wholesale places on Shixi Road, Liu Chengdu took some goods according to the suggestions provided by Chen Shi, and also took some fresh and beautiful clothes according to the aesthetic views of the two girls. This time, he took a big risk, and he didn't know the market because he was not familiar with the dress of young people, and he couldn't make up his mind if he wanted to enter the young market.

You must know that although Liu Cheng's original elderly clothing store is not hot, it has a fixed source of customers, and it has a certain reputation in the county.

Chen Shi also admires Liu Cheng very much, if he decided not to have this determination, it would be good if he could fish for three days and dry the net for two days. It is very difficult for a person to take the initiative to change himself, especially before the danger breaks out, at this time the person is in the most comfortable environment, if you want to change, unless you are the kind of person with great perseverance, otherwise, the choice of the average person is to nest in the original comfortable place.

They spent an afternoon helping Liu Cheng buy goods and giving him advice, Liu Cheng was very modest to accept, especially for the situation that Chen Shi told him, so as long as Chen Shi said that the price of this store was cheaper, after verification, it was guaranteed to be 100% correct, and Chen Shi said that the quality of that one was good, and there was absolutely no mistake. In this regard, Liu Cheng was very shocked.

After getting Liu Cheng's goods, in order to express his gratitude, Liu Cheng gave the two girls a set of clothes, which were not expensive, only two or three hundred yuan per set. Originally, my sister Chen Jing resolutely refused, but Chen Shi agreed after some persuasion, as for Zheng Tong, she was a little polite, and then accepted it with peace of mind.

After that, several people went to eat again, this time Liu Cheng said that he had a treat, and Chen Shi did not refuse, in short, the two were friends, and it was no big deal to have a meal. The place where the meal was at noon, or in the original position, just sat down, Liu Chengcheng thought a little and said: "Little brother, I think your restaurant must be very popular when it opens here, you see that there are so many people here, if you can pull one percent of people into the restaurant, then you will make a lot of money." ”

The expansion of the restaurant is necessary, but at this time the funds are insufficient, it should still be in the primitive accumulation stage, and the restaurant has always been in the management of Li Qiu, and he does not know the specific situation, whether he has the ability to open a branch in the city? He was a little skeptical, thinking that it would be possible at least at the end of the year.

Chen Shi said with a smile: "Although there are many people in the city, the housing prices are also high, and the prices are also high, even the money for buying vegetables is more expensive than the county seat, as well as water and electricity, which may be about the same as in the county, right?" He is a pretext, no matter who can think of it, more people business will be good, although the price is high, but the consumption is also high, and the impact of high prices on the operator is not so big, for the consumer will be great, but consumers generally must consume to account for the vast majority, so for the business, the price is a little higher is beneficial.

"Hehe!" Liu Cheng didn't believe his words, and asked him, "Aren't you going to open a branch this time?"

Chen Shi really not, he replied affirmatively: "I'm here to investigate, I'm going to make drinking water, but I don't know where to open a factory, and I don't know if there is a small water plant, if there is a small water plant for sale, then it will be straightforward, but if not, it will be a bit troublesome." Chen Shi was not prepared to hide his purpose, but his sister and Zheng Tong only knew his purpose now, and it was her sister Chen Jing who reacted especially loudly, and she immediately asked in surprise: "Where did you get so much money?" Take a good look at the restaurant, don't eat from the bowl and look at the pot, be steady." ”

"Sister, don't worry, I know it in my heart. He didn't explain his sister carefully, and even if he did, there was no way to explain it now, because his sister was still the mind of that simple rural person, and she would never take the risk of gambling like him.

Sister Chen Jing also has no way to take him, now Chen Shi she is becoming more and more incomprehensible, the younger brother in the past is gone, and the current younger brother has shouldered the heavy responsibility of the whole family, and his actions are often unexpected, but he can often achieve great results, she only secretly prays in her heart, hoping that God will bless this dear brother.

Liu Cheng was very interested in Chen Shi's purpose, and he asked: "Do you want to make drinking water? Don't you know that there is a lot of competition for drinking water on the market now? How much money do you have? I don't doubt you to buy a small water plant, but if you want to really become bigger and sell well all over the country, it is not a problem that can be solved by one or two million, and you will need tens of millions of dollars in advertising alone." ”

Chen Shi said with a smile: "It's man-made, anyway, I don't have anything to do, how can I do it if I don't come out and make a fuss?" I'm still young, even if I fail, there's nothing I can't fight, at most it's a revisit, and I'm sure." ”

Liu Cheng sighed and said: "I'm old, I don't have the spirit of adventure, unlike you, it's just the beginning, I found myself getting more and more timid, if many things were ten years ago, I would have to do it, but now it's getting more and more conservative, just like looking at the things in my hand don't have a little less on the line, no matter how much I don't demand, it's still good to be young!"

Chen Shi shook his head and said: "Who said that Brother Liu has no adventurous spirit? Didn't you give up the clothes for the elderly and change to the clothes for the young? Isn't this risky? You can give up the original harvest in your hand and take risks now, you say that you are old, who believes it?"

Liu Cheng smiled, he poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it all, he said: "Brother, you don't know about the clothing industry, who said that I should give up the market for the elderly?" I just gradually reduce the purchase of elderly clothing, and gradually transform, I am steady, if the young people are not good in the market, I can also come back, my original old customers have not been lost, I found that the purchase of the elderly has not changed, sales have not increased, so I came up with the idea of turning to young people's business, do you think I am really willing to the original small treasury?"

Chen Shi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this, it seems that Liu Cheng is actually an old and cunning guy, of course, this kind of cunning is in business, not against someone, therefore, Chen Shi is not disgusted with this kind of cunning, if he can, he also hopes that he can have this kind of cunning nature, so that he will suffer a lot less in business.

"You can't be conservative, you can only say that you are calculating. Chen Shi praised.

Here it is said that he is good at calculation, not the meaning of scolding, Liu Cheng is also very happy about this, he smiled slightly: "Brother, in business, no calculation is not good, of course, you can't calculate your partners, business partners can only cooperate sincerely, if you calculate, you can succeed at most once, over time, when everyone rejects you, that's when you are unlucky, therefore, you can calculate, but don't calculate your partners." ”

Chen Shizhen said solemnly: "I have been taught, Brother Liu's golden and jade good words!"

Liu Cheng laughed and said: "It's not a good word, it's just that you have lived dozens of years longer than you, and if you live a few more years, you can at least know more people, know more people, and this experience is always a little more." Sometimes success often depends on a little extra experience. ”

Chen Shi nodded in agreement, he can fully understand what Liu Cheng said, and he can understand it, just like now, his heart has lived many years longer than the people of the same year, therefore, compared with the people of the same year, maybe he is inferior in some professions, but compared to this kind of experience in the world, he believes that no one can compare with him.

After that, Liu Cheng solemnly asked Chen Shi about the situation of drinking water, Chen Shi spoke his thoughts very carefully, even the sweet wine said, there was nothing to hide, because now although he came, but he was not optimistic about the project for the time being, first, there was not enough funds, and second, he was not ready, and he came too hastily, so he had some plans to give up.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Cheng heard it, he was very interested and said: "I know a small water plant, and they are interested in selling it, but it is ......." ”

Chen Shi asked eagerly, "But what?"

Liu Cheng said with a wry smile: "Their debts are too high, although it doesn't cost much money to build a water plant, but if you want to pay off your debts, it can't be done in a year or two, and it is said that their debts reach more than 10 million, so they intend to sell." ”

The debt of tens of millions is indeed a large amount, but if Chen Shi's previous ideas can be achieved, it is not without benefits, if you can invite two superstars to endorse, you can play the brand of drinking water, and the sales volume comes out, then it is not difficult to pay off the debt of 1,005, and the difficulty is that Chen Shi does not even have the funds for a small water plant now.

But even so, he asked, "Do you know how much they offer?"

Liu Chengdao: "I heard that if the offer is one million, of course the debt must be repaid, and if the debt is separated, then the price is nine million." ”

Chen Shi was thinking about it, but he didn't have enough money, he didn't have a million in cash, so he only sighed: "It's a pity, I don't have enough funds, I don't have a million." ”

Liu Cheng asked, "How many do you have?" How about our partnership?"
