Chapter III: Decisions (I)

A few days later, in the evening, Lin Wenwen came to the residential area near the construction site of Tianming Building and walked into Wang Chengrong's rented dormitory. Wang Chengrong and Li Gui were watching TV, and hurriedly beckoned Lin Wenwen to sit down on the edge of the bed.

Wang Chengrong's dormitory is deep in the alley, and the building opposite the door is a bread workshop, and there is a nightshade incense at the door of the bread workshop. Nightshade has not yet bloomed and seems to be a bit decayed. The evening breeze carries the aroma of bread rolls into the room, filling the room with a mouth-watering aroma.

Lin Wenwen's face was very melancholy, and he was very irritable. Li Gui looked at Lin Wenwen and asked a little excitedly: "Jingwen, why are you always depressed?"

Lin Wenwen didn't say a word, and sighed. Wang Chengrong looked at Lin Wenwen and secretly concluded that he wanted Irene, so he turned to Li Gui and said, "Don't ask knowingly, sprinkle salt on the wound!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Li Gui puzzled.

"You still ask knowingly, do you really not understand?" Wang Chengrong replied with a question.

"I don't understand, I never pretend to be garlic!" Li Gui said a little excitedly.

"Yes, yes...... Let's not say it again!" Wang Chengrong stammered, secretly worried that Lin Wenwen would be sad.

"Don't make any noise, I don't want Irene!" Lin Wenwen interjected depressedly.

"Duplicity. Wang Chengrong said.

"Hmm...... The scriptures are duplicitous, and they are worried that we will quarrel!" Li Gui said thoughtfully.

"Scripture, let the past pass, don't affect Erin's future life!" Wang Chengrong changed the subject.

"Yes, yes...... Let's work together to make money, and in the future, you will find more than ten women, 'Erin No. 1', 'Erin No. 2', 'Erin No. 3'...... Where you sleep every night must be decided by lot!" Li Gui said quickly.

"Li Gui, don't joke nonsense, the scriptures are sad!" Wang Chengrong interjected and said seriously.

"Hey...... I want to make the scriptures happy, so I'm joking like this!" Li Gui said helplessly.

"It doesn't have to be this way!" Lin Wenwen interjected.

"You...... Are you happy?" Wang Chengrong turned to Lin Wenwen and asked.

Lin Wenwen didn't say anything, and nodded again and again. Wang Chengrong thought for a moment and said calmly: "I feel that you are pretending to be strong, which will make you even more uncomfortable!"

"I didn't pretend, I don't know how Erin is now!" Lin Wenwen said depressedly.

"You...... You can't be strong, so you don't have to pretend, right?" Wang Chengrong asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, yes...... That's it, how could I not think of it?" Li Gui said.

"Scripture, don't affect Erin's future life for you!" Wang Chengrong said with concern.

"Don't think about it so much, you should think more about how to make money!" Li Gui said with a smile.

"You only know money, money, money...... Don't let the money crush you another day!" Wang Chengrong turned to Li Gui and said a little excitedly.

"Haha! Letting money crush to death is the happiest way to die in the world, don't you know?" Li Gui said mischievously.

"I want to change careers, do you want to?" asked Lin Wenwen interjected.

"Well, I think. Li Gui hurriedly nodded and replied.

"I want to, but I don't want to. Wang Chengrong followed.

"If you want to think, if you don't want it, you don't want to, you don't talk nonsense!" Li Gui said a little excitedly.

"You all want to change careers, I don't think it matters if you want to, the important thing is that you have to follow you!" Wang Chengrong said calmly.

"Yes, yes...... Our relationship is an impregnable wall!" Li Gui said happily.

"What do you say you are going to change?" asked Lin Wenwen calmly.

"Haha! Being a 'chicken head' is the most profitable!" Li Gui replied jokingly.

"You're looking for death, you want to mess up ideas!" Wang Chengrong said a little excitedly.

"Or else...... Let's disguise ourselves as the 'Three Musketeers of Songlin' and go around to do chivalrous deeds!" Li Gui said jokingly.

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes, be serious!" Wang Chengrong said excitedly.

"It's not an idea to be serious, you can think slowly!" Li Gui said with a smile.

"Let's open a supermarket together!" Lin Wenwen interjected.

"Well, I think it's better to open a restaurant!" Wang Chengrong said thoughtfully.

"I don't have an idea, I can only contribute!" Li Gui said with a smile.

"You can't just contribute, it's better to open a supermarket or a restaurant?" Wang Chengrong hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, don't ask me these annoying questions!" Li Gui replied with a smile.

"Scripture, what do you think?" Wang Chengrong turned to Lin Verse and asked.

"I think it's better to open a supermarket. Lin replied.

"Haha! Come to play, come to play...... Let's draw lots!" Li Gui interjected happily and said.

"You can't live without drawing lots, right?" Wang Chengrong hurriedly asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, we are all iron-beaten men, why can't we live?" Li Gui replied with a question.

"Okay, okay...... I'm just talking, I have to admit that the scriptures are better than me!" Wang Chengrong nodded again and again.

"You...... Do you also accept to open a supermarket?" Li Gui asked thoughtfully.

"Almost!" replied Wang Chengrong.

"It's better to draw lots and decide, and then do it right away!" Lin Wenwen interjected.

"Yes, yes...... It's fairer to draw lots!" Li Gui followed.

"We can't do it right away, this project must be done!" Wang Chengrong said calmly.

"It won't take long for this project to be capped, and we will leave a small number of workers to do the picking, parapet...... You can get out first!" Lin said.

"Our contracted steel workers have just made progress, should we give up? What should we do with these workers?" Wang Chengrong asked thoughtfully.

"Give up, give up, the workers will naturally disband, don't want mother-in-law and mother-in-law!" Li Gui replied excitedly.

"Well, don't you all feel pity?" asked Wang Chengrong calmly.

"Leave two workers as helpers. Lin said in a changing subject.

"How many people do we need, how much do we need to invest, how big a supermarket do we open, where do we want to open ...... You all come and hear it!" Li Gui said a little impatiently.

"In City A, more than 1,000 square meters, money and people don't know!" Lin Wenwen said.

"Haha! None of us have ever opened a supermarket, so how do we know how much money we need to invest in a 1,000-square-meter supermarket?" asked Li Gui with a wry smile.

"I have a distant relative who is running a small shop, and I heard that the shop is 60 square meters, with a total investment of about 30,000 yuan. We open a 1,000-square-meter supermarket, so we should know how much money we need to invest based on the area!" Wang Chengrong replied calmly.

"It takes half a million yuan. Lin Wenwen said calmly.

"Can it be accurate by area?" asked Li Gui suspiciously.

"Almost!" replied Lin Wenwen.

"You all say okay, I have nothing to say, where to get 500,000 yuan?" Li Gui changed the subject and asked.

"Well, how much money can we make after we finish this project?" Wang Chengrong turned to Lin Wenwen and asked.

"No more than 400,000 yuan!" Lin Wenwen replied expressionlessly.

"Haha! It's a miracle that we make so much money doing this project!" Li Gui said happily.

"Well, this project is really good, I didn't expect to make so much money!" Wang Chengrong said.

"This credit is all due to the scriptures, he knows how to manage the workers very well!" Li Gui said with a smile.

"It's a pity that we disbanded the workers!" Wang Chengrong said earnestly.

"We changed careers, we can't help it. Lin Wenwen said.

"Li Gui, we did the Pacific Hotel project in F City, and we earned 60,000 yuan, and we lent it all to your relative, can we get it back now?" asked Wang Chengrong as he changed the subject.

"Haha! I didn't say the specific date of repayment, I need money to ask him for it!" Li Gui replied with a smile.

"Well, no problem, right?" asked Wang Chengrong.

"I promise that there is no problem, I will talk about it when I ask for money, and I will take it back within a few days!" Li Gui replied confidently.

"These are about 500,000 yuan, let's borrow a little more!" Wang Chengrong said thoughtfully.

"I say more than 1,000 square meters, including 5,000 square meters. Lin Wenwen said.

"You...... Crazy?" asked Li Gui a little excitedly.

"A 5,000-square-meter supermarket needs to invest 2.5 million yuan, and we don't have that much money!" Wang Chengrong said calmly.

"Haha! Not to mention two and a half million yuan, don't get dizzy!" Li Gui said with a wry smile.

"Even if the calculation by area is not accurate, there is a certain basis!" Wang Chengrong said.

"If you extrapolate according to the area, then the investment in a 5,000-square-meter supermarket will add another 1 million yuan, and the investment in a 1,000-square-meter supermarket will add another 100,000 yuan, which may be about the same!" Li Gui said with a smile.

"Haha! We only have more than 400,000 yuan, so it's useless to talk nonsense!" Wang Chengrong said with a wry smile.

"We are all looking for someone to borrow money, plus the more than 400,000 yuan, we can open as many supermarkets as we have!" Li Gui hurriedly said.

"That's it!" Lin interjected.

"How much can you borrow?" Wang Chengrong asked.

"I ...... Borrow up to 100,000 yuan!" Li Gui replied helplessly.

"It's no problem for me to borrow 300,000 yuan, but the annual interest rate is 12%!" Wang Chengrong said calmly.

"Nowadays, there are few loans without interest, and the annual interest rate on my borrowing money is also 12%!" Li Gui said.

"Scripture, how much can you borrow?" Wang Chengrong turned to Lin Verse and asked.

"No more than 200,000 yuan!" replied Lin Wenwen.

"We can borrow up to 600,000 yuan, and we can only open a supermarket of about 2,000 square meters!" Li Gui said calmly.

"It's okay to be as old as you are!" Wang Chengrong said.

"How many people do you think a 2,000-square-meter supermarket needs?" asked Li Gui as he changed the subject.

"I don't know!" Wang Chengrong shook his head and replied.
