Chapter XXIV
"Lotus, your mother is really amazing, such a big shopping mall, and the business is impressive."
After the meal, on the sofa, Li Chen sighed. He is also in business, of course he knows that it is not easy, especially after knowing that Zhang Li started from scratch, he admires it even more.
"Well, mother is strong, uncle, you are also amazing." Lotus was not polite, Zhang Li's status in his heart was very high.
Li Chen waved his hand and smiled when he heard this, he knew that this was a compliment.
Lotus looked at Dad Li and felt that she should still help. But my own people are soft-spoken, I just don't know if they will listen to it. After thinking about it, he said: "Uncle, uncle, in fact, my family is now involved in other industries, have you ever known about Internet cafes?" ”
Dad Li didn't think much about it when he heard this, he was an honest person and didn't understand these twists and turns.
Li Chen's eyes lit up, he heard the meaning of the lotus, this is to bring us to play! Li Chen didn't know how much money the Lotus family had, but he knew that it was at least hundreds of millions. Such a person wants to take you to play, do you play or not? Immediately, Li Chen said: "I don't know much about Internet cafes, but that kid from my family always goes, and I have also arrested him a few times, Li Liqiang, you come over to me." As he spoke, Li Chen became angry inexplicably, and yelled at Li Liqiang, who was hiding in the corner and pretending to be a dead dog.
"Dad, don't be so loud."
Young man, Li Liqiang also wants to save face, not to mention that his 'brother-in-law' is also there, he rarely mustered up the courage to contradict his father.
"Okay, okay, you always go to the Internet café, right? What is your impression of there? Li Chen also understood his son's thoughts, but the focus of his attention now was obviously not Li Liqiang's mood.
"What's the impression? Uh, it's dirty and messy. It's kind of fun. Li Liqiang said hesitantly.
After listening to this, Li Chen looked at the lotus, and his impression of the Internet café was the same.
Lotus smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle, uncle, it will be the era of the Internet in the future." That's right, the current conditions of Internet cafes are very poor. But didn't you notice? More and more small Internet cafes are popping up quietly, and families are overcrowded, which is the attraction of the Internet. In fact, the Internet has long been integrated with life abroad, and it will be found more rapidly in the future. However, China has not yet developed to the extent of family popularity, so the current Internet café is a real profiteering industry. And my mother's idea is to formalize, not to be as dirty and messy as those small Internet cafes now, and even to allow minors to enter. ”
Several people were obviously stunned when they heard Lotus's words, and their gaze at him changed again, mixed with a hint of admiration.
Lotus didn't know if this admiration was for herself or for her mother, but it was clear that they listened.
Li Chen came back to his senses, looked at his son who was standing stupidly on the side, and said angrily: "You said you, you always play there, you don't know how to fart." He completely forgot that he and Li Liqiang had the same opinion before.
"Lotus, do you have any specific plans for your family?"
Lotus smiled lightly and said: "I have prepared to select a site near the eleventh middle school, and the scale is about more than 200 computers." Environment, health, safety and other aspects will not be the same as the current small Internet café outside. My mother didn't have time to take care of it, so she was going to leave it in the care of my brother-in-law. Then take this as the flagship store, try to make it bigger, and make it a chain model. The best-case scenario is that there are franchises from all over the country. Of course, it's not realistic right now, but that's the goal. ”
After listening to what Lotus said, Li Chen began to calculate the input in his heart. He didn't think about the risks, and he wasn't afraid of losing money. is still the same sentence, Zhang Li's kind of conditions take you to play with a small family, aren't you stupid if you don't play? However, he also understands that this matter is all dependent on Li Jiani, so his brother's side must have more share than himself.
"Lotus, how much is your family doing this?" Li Chen didn't understand, so he asked directly after a moment's struggle.
Lotus was stunned, he really hadn't calculated it before, this kind of thing would normally be handled properly by Zhang Li. But he knew the market, looked down and thought about it, now the configuration of the top computer in the Internet café is about 7,000, and 200 is 1.4 million. The budget of the house is 2 million, counting the decoration and other messes.
"About 4 million, because I am going to buy a house, not rent, so it is a bit much."
Hearing his words, everyone present took a breath of cold air, 4 million? Just an investment in an internet café?
Li Jiani also tilted her head and looked at the lotus blankly, she didn't understand what the concept of 4 million was, and she didn't know how much, but she knew that there must be a lot. There was a little pride in her heart. Watching her boyfriend talk eloquently, she felt that she was too face-saving!
"This"
Li Chen and Dad glanced at each other, with some embarrassment on their faces. Although Lotus said, the reason why so much is invested is because of the flagship store. But if you want to join, it's not hundreds of thousands of people who can stop it.
Lotus noticed Li's father Li Chen's worries, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry." As for what to rest assured, Lotus didn't say anything, but Li Chen understood. He nodded, and said no more. If you really want to participate in this matter, you still have to talk to Zhang Li.
After chatting for a while, the lotus was ready to leave, and she couldn't stay in the house endlessly.
Li Jiani was a little anxious when she saw this, and hurriedly dragged the lotus flower and looked at him wildly.
Lotus reflected, and said to Li's father and mother with some embarrassment: "This, uncle and aunt, will it be okay to let Jiani go to my house to play?" She wanted to see the fireworks and my mom would send her back in the evening. ”
The two of them were a little entangled when they heard this, and in their hearts, they didn't want their girl to go out so late, or to go to their boyfriend's house. But people also said that Zhang Li would send her back, and the two of them also saw Li Jiani's small movements, and she wanted to go to this by herself, so she let Lotus speak.
"Okay, go ahead, come back early."
The two of them were hesitating, but Li Chen agreed, and nodded at the two of them as he spoke.
Seeing this, the two of them didn't bother anymore, and instructed: "Okay, you two pay attention to safety." ”
Li Jiani was happy, nodded with a smile and said, "I know." ”
.
On the street, Li Jiani finally couldn't help but put on the lotus flower's arm, tilted her head to look at him and smirked.
Lotus pinched her little nose funny, and said, "How is it, my performance is okay, right?" ”
"It's okay, let's go quickly, I'll definitely miss me on my birthday."
Li Jiani wrinkled her little nose cutely and urged, she hadn't seen her birthday for a few days.
The lotus is helpless, can't you praise me? But he also knew that the girl was anxious, so he waved his hand and stopped a taxi and went straight to his house.
"By the way, is your mom home?"
Li Jiani snuggled up to the lotus flower and asked, she didn't reject any intimate actions with the lotus flower at all now!
The taxi driver was a man in his 40s, and he thought it was a little funny when he saw a greasy and crooked little couple. Now I was really surprised to hear Li Jiani's words, and I couldn't help but take a look in the rearview mirror, what is the situation? Who is the old driver?
"It's not here, don't worry."
"That's not what I meant."
Li Jiani explained with a little blush, and she also noticed that the driver's uncle seemed to be paying attention to their conversation, and looked at the situation in the rearview mirror from time to time.
The taxi stopped outside the yard, and the old driver watched the two children walk into the villa with a sigh on his face, this is the winner in life, he thought with envy.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard door opening, Birthday hurriedly ran to the door and squatted down to wait for the lotus. It's become a habit for it.
The door opened, and when I looked up on my birthday, it turned out to be my own shovel officer! I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss it very much. Birthday screamed and pounced on him for a hug.
Li Jiani also saw her birthday the moment she opened the door, and she didn't see her for a few days, and her birthday was really visibly fattened with the naked eye. But it's still full of naivety, and it's so cute to sell. Especially the excited performance of her birthday, which made Li Jiani feel that she didn't hurt it in vain.
She hugged her birthday like a child, and muttered, "Good baby, don't think I have it." His eyes were full of joy. The birthday is also double to the face of the coquettish arching in the arms of the girl.
Lotus looked at the scene in front of him with a smile, he was a person who was easy to satisfy, and what he pursued was nothing more than plainness and warmth.
On the sofa, Li Jiani let it lie on her lap and kept touching the birthday dog's head.
Birthday also lay quietly on his stomach, occasionally glanced at the lotus, and then quickly diverted his gaze. Usually the lotus flower will not let it stay on the sofa.
Lotus smiled when she saw the small appearance of the birthday ghost, thinking that a good day is just this day, you can enjoy it!
The lotus stood up and was about to get food for it, and when Birthday saw this, she hurriedly stared at her master, wanting to see what he was going to do. When it found that the owner had picked up his bowl, he was excited about his birthday, and he didn't care about his own shovel officer. With a pop, it rolled over and fell, but fortunately, the sofa was not high, and it had enough fat to be unharmed. But it also made Li Jiani feel distressed.
Birthday shook her head and stood up, and hurriedly ran towards the lotus with short legs, and Li Jiani also followed closely.
Lotus put the small bowl of dog food on the ground, and obediently stared at its bowl with saliva on her birthday, not moving.
Li Jianiqi said: "What is it doing? She saw that her birthday saliva was running down the floor.
The lotus pursed her lips and smiled, "It's waiting for instructions, and I'll let it eat it." Birthday, let's eat! ”
Sure enough, after hearing the command, Birthday buried his head in the small bowl violently, pouted and devoured it.
"Wow, what a birthday!" Li Jiani said in surprise.
Lotus rolled her eyes and thought to herself, obviously I'm amazing, right? It's not right in terms of IQ, it doesn't have an IQ.
