Hot Pot was still steaming, but Private Room was quiet for a few seconds.
This amount of information was so huge that Zhou Xiaowen forgot to joke for a moment.
"Acquisition... to acquire Haoyu?" Zhou Xiaowen stammered, "How much will it cost?"
Zhao Chen did not answer the specific number, just said:
"Their family's situation is quite complicated. Capital Chain has been shut down, the project has been suspended, banks have withdrawn loans, and creditors have blocked the door every day.
His father is restricted from leaving the country and takes his sister everywhere with him every day."
He paused:
"His sister came to me today just because she wanted me to take over."
Li Jing asked in a low voice:
"Then... did you agree?"
Zhao Chen shook his head:
"Not yet. To evaluate."
Chen Shuhua pushed up his glasses and said in a complicated tone:
"Chen Hao... He used to be the monitor, Student Union Cadre, a man of the hour in the school."
Zhou Xiaowen answered:
"That's right! I remember when I was a freshman, he was so famous, and he would be followed by a group of younger brothers wherever he went.
At that time, Zhiyi was chased so fiercely that he sent flowers and milk tea downstairs to our dormitory every day."
Shen Zhiyi lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Of course she remembers those memories.
Just after my freshman year, Chen Hao stuck to me like a piece of brown candy.
He is everywhere, including class president elections, student union activities, and New Life parties.
Sending flowers, milk tea, and playing guitar downstairs in the dormitory made everyone famous.
She was very annoyed at that time.
But it's just annoying.
Now that she heard the news about his family's bankruptcy, she felt no joy, but just a little... unexplainably complicated.
"He is not worthy of our Zhiyi! Only Chairman Zhao can be worthy of Zhiyi." Li Jing smiled lightly.
Zhou Xiaowen glanced at Zhao Chen, covered his mouth and smiled:
"Indeed, Chairman Zhao is not only very charming, but also young and rich. None of the ten Chen Hao can compare with her."
Chen Shuhua A rare piece of gossip:
"I remember that Chen Hao also made trouble for Zhao Chen?"
Zhao Chen leaned on the back of the chair and spoke in a very calm tone:
"I looked for it."
Zhou Xiaowen came over:
"Then now that his family is bankrupt, why don't you step on it? At least you can take revenge!"
Her eyes were bright and she had an expression that said, "Say quickly and you will go."
Zhao Chen glanced at her and smiled:
"No need."
Zhou Xiaowen was stunned for a moment:
"No need? He was so arrogant back then, weren't you angry?"
Zhao Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip:
"What's the use of being angry?"
He paused:
"And he has paid the price."
He did not say that Chen Wei took the initiative to send Chen Hao abroad in order to make this deal happen.
There is no need to let them know those things.
Zhou Xiaowen tilted his head and looked at him, as if he was studying some new species:
"Zhao Zong, you are really strange. You can step on me, but you don't."
Chen Shuhua said:
"This is called pattern."
Li Jing nodded:
"Yes, yes, the pattern!"
Zhao Chen smiled and shook his head:
"What kind of pattern is it? I'm just not interested."
He looked out the window and his eyes fell on the familiar street:
"Whatever situation he is in now has nothing to do with me. I am busy with my own affairs, so how can I have time to take care of him."
Zhou Xiaowen nodded thoughtfully.
Then she suddenly slapped her thigh:
"That's right! Bitcoin! Bitcoin has gone crazy during this period. Look, it's really what you said."
She took out her phone, tapped her fingers a few times quickly, and then pointed the screen in front of Zhao Chen:
"Look! The highest number in August is almost 5,000 US Dollar!"
Zhao Chen glanced down.
Up to 4817 US Dollar.
He nodded:
"It's going up pretty well."
Zhou Xiaowen eyes widened:
"Not bad? That's not bad?! When you bought it for us, it was only 910 US Dollar. Now it's almost 5,000! It's more than five times higher!"
She pressed her fingers quickly on the calculator:
"910 to 4800, an increase of 427%! We invested 600,000 at that time, Double Leverage...Double Leverage..."
Chen Shuhua answered:
"The principal is equivalent to 1.2 million, an increase of 427%, and the income is..."
She raised her head:
"About 5.12 million."
Li Jing took a breath of cold air:
"Five, more than five million?"
Zhou Xiaowen jumped up first:
"Five million! Oh my God! I've never seen so much money in my life!"
She rushed over and hugged Shen Zhiyi:
"Zhiyi! Empress of the Palace! From today on, you are my biological sister!
No, no, no, you are my mother! I, Zhou Xiaowen, am determined to follow you for the rest of my life!"
Shen Zhiyi was so shaken by her that she felt dizzy, but she couldn't help but smile.
Li Jing's eyes are red:
"The original 120,000, half a year later... now it has become more than one million..."
Chen Shuhua pushed up his glasses, his fingers still trembling slightly:
"More than five million, none of us have 20%, Zhiyi West 10%... Twenty percent have more than one million..."
Zhou Xiaowen suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Zhao Chen:
"Zhao Zong, can you take out this money?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Yes. If necessary, let Chen Xi help you operate it. But it is not recommended to sell it now."
Zhou Xiaowen Put your hands together:
"Chairman Zhao, I listen to you! I have decided that I will be your side room for the rest of my life! No one can stop me!"
Chen Shuhua is a rare joke:
"Xiaowen, if you want to be a concubine, you must first ask the main palace empress if she agrees."
Zhou Xiaowen immediately looked at Shen Zhiyi with a flattering look on his face:
"Honorable Empress, please accept me! I promise not to compete for favor, be jealous, or take your place!
You eat meat and I drink soup, you eat ribs and I lick the plate!"
Shen Zhiyi is angry and funny:
"Can you be of some use?"
Zhou Xiaowen is plausible:
"Can the income be used as food? Can it be exchanged for money? No! But your Zhao Chen can! So I hug Chairman Zhao tightly!"
Li Jing covered his mouth and smiled:
"Xiaowen, there is something wrong with your values."
Zhou Xiaowen is clear and confident:
"This is reality! Think about it, if we invested 600,000 in the beginning, how much would we have left now if we were investing in stocks ourselves?
You may even lose your principal! Follow Zhao Zong, and 600,000 will become more than 5 million! Isn't this better than making a profit?"
Chen Shuhua is a rare nod:
"That's the truth."
Zhou Xiaowen is proud:
"So, what's wrong with being a side room? You can make money just by lying down!"
Shen Zhiyi reached out and hit her:
"Still talking nonsense!"
Zhou Xiaowen ducked away, laughing so hard.
Li Jing and Chen Shuhua don't say it, but in fact they don't understand in their hearts that if they spend their whole lives working hard and fighting, it will not be better than being a "concubine".
Life is like this, choice is greater than effort.
If Shen Zhiyi chooses Chen Hao, it will be a different story.
No one would say these words, but they all knew it.
Zhao Chen watched them making trouble, and the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper.
Outside the window, the early autumn sunset shines into Private Room, dyeing everything a warm orange color.
The soup in the pot is still boiling, and the belly is still rolling.
Figures of more than five million were spinning in their minds, but this meal was not about money.
It's these people, these laughter, this evening.
Here, he can temporarily forget Henglong, forget Haoyu, and forget Blackstone.
Here is his charging station.
After leaving here, he is the Henglong Chairman who can decide the fate of Haoyu Construction and the fate of Chen Wei.
