Night.

Ji Cheng picked a Chinese restaurant specializing in tourist business to invite him to eat, the dishes were more authentic, except for Zhu Licheng and his son, who were invited, all the people who accompanied him went.

He considered that the matter between his father and Qin Xiaohui could not be known by his mother, so Ji Chengcheng greeted Zhu Licheng and Zhu Siguo before entering the table.

A table full of hometown dishes.

The old mother looked at Zhu Licheng and Zhu Siguo curiously, and asked, "Mr. Zhu, how did you and our Lao Ji meet?" ”

Ji Cheng saw it clearly, and his father's face suddenly became nervous.

Zhu Licheng's mental state is still not very good, after all, he just took the black diamond away, and it is impossible to recover so quickly, but he is very angry when he speaks, "Oh, I used to be pen pals with Lao Ji for a while, and we both mistakenly thought that the other party was a woman, and I almost swore an oath." ”

"Poof!"

"Haha!"

"Ouch, patriotic, isn't it true?"

Mom, Master Cheng, Manager Li and others were all happy.

Lao Ji obviously didn't expect Zhu Licheng to break the siege for him in such a form, and made up a nonsense sentence angrily and funny, "That's the case, thanks to the fact that we found out each other's identities early, otherwise it would really not have ended." ”

The mother was also amused, pursed her lips and looked at her husband next to her, obviously not expecting that Lao Ji, who had lived together for more than 20 years and nearly 30 years, still had this black history.

Maybe it was because Zhu Licheng's words amused everyone, and the atmosphere of the banquet became hot.

Even Zhen Guoliu, who usually looks so serious, made a few jokes at this time.

During this period, Ji Cheng didn't say anything, just smiled and accompanied the wine.

Gradually, in the second half of the feast, everyone was full and sat there chatting.

Ji Cheng took advantage of everyone's talk, took out a contract drawn up by looking for a law firm in the afternoon from his briefcase and handed it to Zhu Siguo, "Xiao Zhu, look at the contract." ”

"What contract?" Zhu Licheng asked curiously.

Lao Ji and his mother also looked over.

Ji Cheng took advantage of Zhu Siguo's response to accept the contract and explained to a few people: "I plan to open a pawn company here in the beautiful country, specializing in the acquisition of our Chinese antiques, as well as watches, jewelry, and other things that are commonly used all over the world, and multiple supply channels for ancient and modern art companies, but I am not very familiar with the beautiful country, so I thought of asking Xiao Zhu to be a partner to help me." ”

Master Cheng and Cheng Hailin knew the situation early, so naturally there was no surprise.

Lao Ji and his mother didn't say anything when they heard that Ji Cheng was looking for someone to "help", after all, from Ji Cheng's words, it sounded like he had a request for help.

Zhu Li is quite kind as an adult, as soon as he heard that Ji Cheng wanted to ask Zhu Siguo for help, although it was very difficult to hear about it, and it may not please him, he still said as soon as possible: "Siguo, your eldest brother Ji will agree if you ask you for help, anyway, you are not usually too busy, just find something to do." ”

Zhu Siguo couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Dad, Brother Ji said polite words, do you really think he asked me for help?" He's giving me a favor, or a big one, can I just say yes? ”

Zhu Li, who is older in this time and space, has become more kind, perhaps related to the subtle influence of Qin Xiaohui's marriage, he sighed when he heard it, "No merit, Xiao Ji, how can we benefit from you for no reason?" ”

Mom seemed to look at Lao Ji with some understanding.

Lao Ji kept staring at Ji Cheng and talking to Zhu Licheng and Zhu Siguo, but he didn't notice that his wife's eyes were strange.

Ji Cheng smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, how could it be that you are benefiting me for no reason?" Didn't I just say it, I'm not familiar with the beautiful country, and the main business is also in the country, and there must always be acquaintances to help me in the beautiful country opening pawn company, and I really ask Siguo for help. ”

Zhu Siguo's personality was relatively calm, and he said: "I'll look at the contract first." ”

Zhu Licheng didn't pay attention to his son, but he was still very polite over there.

Ji Cheng also replied with a few words, he talked about cooperation from the beginning with the idea of compensating Zhu Siguo, and naturally it was impossible to do anything in the contract, on the contrary, the terms were more favorable to Zhu Siguo.

Of course, the control is still in your own hands, and this is also very clear in the contract.

After a while, Zhu Siguo raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Ji, please forgive me for taking the liberty of agreeing to such cooperation." ”

"What did the boy say?" Zhu Licheng reprimanded.

Zhu Siguo shouted: "Dad, it's not that I refuse to help Brother Ji, it's that if I agree, it's really too much of a advantage for him, he writes very clearly in the contract, he plans to invest 10 million US dollars to set up a pawn company, and as a result, I don't need a penny to give 20% of the shares, doesn't this mean that I will give me 2 million US dollars for nothing!" ”

Zhu Licheng was stunned, "Huh? Really? ”

"Why?" Zhu Siguo sighed and said: "Brother Ji told me before that his ancient and modern art company is operating very well in Huaxia, and even this autumn auction has suppressed Xiangjiang Fubi in terms of total turnover, and if he opens a pawn company in the beautiful country, most of the things acquired will be supplied to the ancient and modern art company, which means that the pawn company is basically unlikely to have the possibility of losing money, so that he will give me a lot of dividend money every year, you say that I can sign such a cheap contract?" ”

After hearing this, Mom's eyes became more strange when she looked at Dad, and she even nodded to herself a little thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhu Licheng looked at Ji Cheng busily, "Xiao Ji, this is not good, we will take advantage of you too much." ”

Ji Cheng saw that the father and son were so loyal and honest, and he was even more apologetic for taking away the priceless jewelry, and insisted: "This cooperation has money and strength, so why take advantage of it?" ”

"Brother Ji, it's not impossible for you to want me to be a partner, unless you promise me a condition." Zhu Siguo said seriously, and didn't give Ji Cheng a chance to speak, "What about me, in addition to opening a few second-hand shops, there are also some shops for rent, if you want to open a pawn company, I can provide a place, don't say much, more than a dozen community shops can still provide, and they don't charge a penny of rent, if you promise me, sign the contract, if you don't agree, forget it." ”

Rent for shops in New York is expensive.

In the case of a major business district, the average price per square foot ranges from $279 to $2,389 per month, with one square foot roughly equal to 0.093 square meters, or 0.1, or $2,790 to $23,890 per square meter in a major business district.

Of course, Ji Cheng does not need to rent expensive shops in the main business district to do pawn business, he only needs shops next to the community, and this price will be much cheaper.

But no matter how cheap it is, it can't be cheaper, after all, this is New York, so how expensive are the other shops?

For example, before Ji Cheng came, he saw a 300-square-foot nail salon for rent for $5,500 a month, and he also saw a 1,200-square-foot neighborhood shop for rent for $19,000 a month.

According to the pawn shop of 50 square meters, Ji Cheng will spend about 80000 US dollars per pawn shop every month, or 100,000 US dollars a year.

This is still the rent of a pawn shop, and it is definitely impossible for him to open a pawn shop when he opens a pawn shop, if he opens a dozen pawn shops, the rent will be millions a year.

And what is the value of Ji Cheng's shares to Zhu Siguo? Two million dollars!

It means that if someone rents ten shops to him, he will return the capital to him in two years.

How could Ji Cheng agree, he vetoed without hesitation: "No, it's like this, I'm taking advantage of you." ”

"I can't take advantage of you either." Zhu Si National Road.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Master Cheng came forward to mediate, "Eh, boss, Mr. Xiao Zhu, people talk about cooperation with their own advantages, you two are good, rush to give each other benefits?" In my opinion, do you want to give in and the boss will pay the rent, but since the boss gave Mr. Xiao Zhu 20% of the shares, wouldn't it be okay to deduct 20% of the rent? In this way, everyone takes advantage of it, and none of them take advantage, do you think this can be done? ”

Ji Chengyi heard that this idea was good, "I don't think there's a problem, what do you think, Brother Xiaozhu?" ”

Zhu Siguo smiled when he heard this, "I think it's feasible." ”

Ji Cheng saw that the intention was agreed, and said with a smile: "Then sign the contract?" ”

Zhu Siguo said politely: "Okay, thank you Brother Ji for taking me rich." ”

Ji Cheng smiled, and said in his heart that this Xiao Zhu is very kind.

In a sense, he is indeed bringing Zhu Siguo to make a fortune, after all, there is no shortage of sales channels after the pawnshop opens, and he can basically make a steady profit without losing money.

But in terms of rent, Zhu Siguo can reduce about 200,000 US dollars per year on his side, and in ten years, the two million US dollars that Ji Cheng invested in Zhu Siguo will come back, which is still under the premise that the market rent remains unchanged.

In fact, the rent will only get more and more expensive, and in the final analysis, Ji Cheng will take advantage.

However, if the pawn company's performance is good and the annual dividend exceeds 200,000 US dollars, then Zhu Siguo basically not only does not have any losses, but on the contrary, he can make more money, in the final analysis, it is Ji Cheng who promotes him.

Ji Cheng took more than a dozen pieces of jewelry worth more than 100 million US dollars, so naturally he would not be reluctant to do so.

Soon, Zhu Siguo signed the contract.

Ji Cheng also signed his name, he was very satisfied with it, on the one hand, he could repay the debt of conscience, on the other hand, he really didn't expect Zhu Siguo to be willing to take out more than a dozen community shops to pawn shop places, rent reduction or not is a trivial matter, mainly saving him time to find a shop.

After signing the contract, Ji Cheng looked at Cheng Hailin, "Hailin, I think you can speak well, in the future, you will be responsible for the pawn for me here in the beautiful country, and I will give you a general manager, do you personally think this thing will work?" ”

Cheng Hailin didn't expect to be entrusted with such a heavy task by Ji Cheng, and he was suddenly a little flattered and unconfident, "Boss, I'm ...... I've never presided over such a big situation, do you want to find someone else to do this? ”

Ji Cheng said with a smile: "It's just you, I'm more at ease with you." ”

Well, this is true, after all, Cheng Hailin is the son of Master Cheng, if Cheng Hailin really dares to do something that damages the company behind his back, he is not the only one who is unlucky, Master Cheng will also be implicated, plus Cheng Hailin is deeply rooted in Master Cheng's true heritage, whether it is in antiques and jewelry, his attainments are not comparable to ordinary people.

Under such a premise, Cheng Hailin is naturally the best choice for Ji Cheng to stay in the beautiful country to manage the pawn company.

In fact, there is another reason, Cheng Hailin talks too much, such a person stays by his side and is noisy, but in business, maybe it will have a certain miraculous effect, after all, business depends on talking, and being able to speak will have a great advantage.

Gradually, the night deepened.

A few people were still very drunk.

Ji Cheng proposed to end the banquet, and everyone walked outside while chatting.

He went to the counter to check out, and his eyes inadvertently saw his parents who were walking and chatting not far away, and he didn't care at first, just glanced at it.

My mother asked, "Patriotic, do you have something to hide from me?" ”

Lao Ji's face tightened, "No, why did you suddenly ask that?" ”

My mother snorted, "I think your relationship with that old Zhu is a little wrong." ”

Lao Ji was sweating profusely and said, "What's wrong?" Don't think about it, okay? ”

Mom narrowed her eyes, "It's all like this, you still want to hide it from me?" If you have a normal relationship with that Lao Zhu, will your son spend so much money to cooperate with someone else's son? ”

Ji Cheng couldn't help but be humble for a while, he didn't expect his mother's sense of smell to be so sensitive, and he actually felt the matter between his father and Qin Xiaohui, you must know that he was in the know, not only did he help his father hide it from his mother, but he also instigated his father to find Zhu Licheng, if his mother knew that he would not be scolded to death?

Lao Ji couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to admit it head-on, "Okay, in fact, that's how it ......."

Before she finished speaking, her mother's eyes widened, and she patted her thigh and said, "I know!" I knew that you had a comradeship with that old Zhu! ”

Lao Ji almost took a mouthful of old blood.

Ji Cheng's eyes also darkened when he heard it, Nima, I thought you knew what happened between my father and Qin Xiaohui, and you thought my father and Lao Zhu were doing it?

……

Night.

While everyone was asleep, Ji Cheng came to the villa and prepared to start a plan to brush energy.

He spent a lot of energy in order to be able to smoothly brush the energy to obtain this house, and this was finally obtained, so he must brush the maximum energy value well.

The master bedroom of the villa, inside the room.

Ji Cheng was lying on the bed without any futon, and first turned on the system to take a look at the maximum energy value.

Previously, the maximum energy value had increased to nine thousand and twenty-two points, and then he performed two more full load normal crossings, and the current energy maximum value was fourteen thousand and ninety-six.

"Whew, the growth of energy in modern society is a little slower, although it is not full, but it is no problem for empty people to cross, go back to the eighties and then travel back with a full load, and the energy will naturally increase more."

Ji Cheng thought about it and clicked on the crossing.

Swipe the floor and go back to the bedroom of the Space-Time Villa in the 80s.

Ji Cheng opened it and looked at the energy value, because it was the empty man who crossed the energy to increase by three points, he pursed his lips with some disgust, "Only this energy has increased?" Let's see how much it grows at full load. ”

He has a bit of a lot of "black powder" in this time and space, and the energy provided by the killing intent value alone reaches 300,000 points every ten minutes.

No, as soon as ten minutes passed, the energy gauge was filled up in an instant.

Suddenly, Ji Cheng noticed a peculiar place, that is, the heart rate energy changed from three to four.

Hey?

Wasn't it three before?

Ji Cheng remembered very clearly, first of all, Aniston provided himself with a little heart rate energy, followed by Qin Xiaohui in this time and space, and then there was another point that he guessed last time that it might be Annie. One of Rocky or Madonna, but now it's four?

He probably understood something.

I'm afraid that because he and Madonna ran very well that night and conquered each other, so Madonna's heart provided energy, which can be analyzed from his understanding of Madonna's deeds, such as Madonna and Rodman, originally Madonna may have seen Rodman strong and wanted to play, who knew that Rodman was very strong, but the next day Madonna was crazy about the rebounding monster.

His performance that night was definitely much better than Rodman's, after all, Ji Cheng had unlimited physical strength before he released some kind of energy in the eighties, and he was not as good as many people in terms of ferocity and short-term explosiveness, but in terms of staying power, I'm sorry, it's still that sentence, everyone here is happy.

Naturally, it seems that it is not uncommon for Ji Cheng to conquer Madonna with his performance in one night.

He was a little ridiculous, "I didn't pay attention to the natural energy growth of the system before, and I almost missed this information, hmm, Madonna actually had a heart for me?" It seems that the buddy is very attractive. ”

Although being heart-warming does not mean falling in love, it may make a peerless prodigal girl like Madonna heartbroken, and it is still something to be proud of when you say it.

Ji Cheng was a little proud for a while, and then concentrated all his mental power on the energy value.

He first went to the underground warehouse to find a lot of heavy things and put them into the system space, reaching a full load state, and then returned to the bedroom, and once again lay on the bed to cross.

Brush.

Back to modern society.

Or lie on the bed in the corresponding bedroom.

Ji Cheng hurriedly opened the system to check and found that the maximum energy value had increased from the previous 14,100 to 17,625.

"! It rose by more than three thousand at a time? After this energy maximum becomes more, brush it once, and the energy will increase too much, right? ”

Increasing more than 3,000 energy at a time is equivalent to allowing him to go back three minutes more time at one time!

If he goes back in time to the casino, he may not be able to become an invincible gambler in a short time!

Ji Cheng remembered that Atlantic City didn't seem to be too far from New York, did he find an opportunity to go there and make some money by going back in time?

Well, I'll talk about this later, let's continue to farm energy first.

Ji Cheng paid attention to the system again, but it was a pity that his energy naturally grew a little slowly in modern society, and he only increased a few points in ten minutes.

He waited a full hour to get enough energy to cross the empty body, and took advantage of this free time to get out of the system and throw it into the basement, otherwise the energy value would not be enough, and there would be no way to travel back to the eighties.

After finishing his work, Ji Cheng clicked on the time travel again and returned to the time and space of the eighties.

Then he went to the basement warehouse and found a lot of stuff to fill the load of the system space.

In the 80s, the energy value of space-time increased rapidly.

It will be full in ten minutes.

Back in the modern world, the maximum amount of energy has increased to 22,000 points and 35 points.

After waiting for another hour, Ji Cheng crossed again.

This night, he was busy traveling through the two time and space to brush energy, but unfortunately the energy value growth in modern society was too slow, and he only crossed five or six times with a full load for most of the night.

When the first rays of sunlight in the early morning were projected through the cracks in the window, Ji Cheng, who was exhausted after a busy night's work, looked at the energy gauge showing the maximum energy of forty-three thousand and fifty-seven points, and the whole person almost went crazy with joy.

"Value! It's worth it to get this house down! I increased my energy maximum by more than 30,000 points in one night, which is too much to step on! ”

Ji Cheng's eyebrows fluttered happily, now that the maximum energy value has reached more than forty-three thousand, it means that he can go back in time for forty-three minutes, if he goes to the casino to gamble, he will not be able to win?

The God of Gamblers?

No!

In the future, the name of the God of Gambling should be Ji Cheng!
