Maruboshi Kosuke quickly left and returned, holding a thick scroll in his hand. The scroll looked plain and simple on the outside, but its thickness was eye-catching. He respectfully handed the scroll to Senju Chen, and then stepped aside wisely, as if he knew that the following conversation was not suitable for him to intervene.
Senju Chen took the scroll and threw it to Kakuzu on the opposite side. His movements were as casual as if he was throwing a piece of waste paper instead of a confidential document carrying a grand blueprint.
"Here, old man, take a look for yourself. Don't say I lied to you, and don't say I exploited you. This plan is enough to let you know the weight of this 'job'." Senju Chen picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth, looking at Kakuzu leisurely.
Kakuzu took the scroll and held it heavily. He frowned with a trace of disdain in his eyes. In his opinion, what earth-shattering plan could a twelve- or thirteen-year-old kid come up with? It was nothing more than Just some fantasy. What "Food Is Heaven" sounds like is the tackiness of the nouveau riche. He has lived for more than ninety years and has seen too many so-called "geniuses" and "grand plans", but in the end they are just passing clouds.
He opened the scroll casually. The first page was an introduction to "Food Is Heaven" and the current business situation of Capital of Fire. Kakuzu glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly. It must be said that the business of this restaurant is indeed booming, with daily turnover. Both the profit and profit exceeded his expectations. He secretly calculated that if he followed the one percent share mentioned by Senju Chen, he would be able to earn a considerable amount of money in one year. Although it was not as good as his previous "big orders", it was better in terms of stability and... no need to fight or kill.
"Hmph, it's quite interesting." Kakuzu muttered and turned to the second page.
The second page is about the preliminary plan for the expansion of the "Food Is Heaven" branch. The flying handwriting of Senju Chen clearly lists the progress of the Land of Birds branch, as well as the strategic layout of opening branches in the capitals of the four major countries.
Kakuzu's eyes began to become serious. The capitals of the four major countries? This is not something that can be done casually. Those places are extremely repellent to foreign forces, especially after this Shinobi World war, The vigilance among various countries has reached its peak. To gain a foothold there, not only huge financial resources are needed, but also deep background and skills. He glanced at Senju Chen again, this kid... has something.
"It's interesting." Kakuzu's tone is no longer so contemptuous, but still contains some reservations.
He continued to look down, the third page, the fourth page... The text and diagrams on the scroll became more and more dense, and the content became more and more in-depth. From the unified procurement of ingredients, to the standardized training of chefs; from the unified style of store decoration, to the meticulous service process. Every link was extremely thoughtful, and even emergency response plans were listed.
Kakuzu's breathing began to become heavy. How could a kid come up with this? This was clearly a blueprint for a huge business empire that could only be built by an experienced business tycoon! The look in his eyes when he looked at Senju Chen had changed from disdain at the beginning to confusion.
"This... is this really what you wrote?" He couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling.
Senju Chen put down the tea cup and asked with a smile, "What, old man, do you think I don't have this ability?"
Kakuzu choked and did not answer. He continued to scroll down, his hand movements became faster and faster, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
When he saw the last few pages of the scroll, his pupils shrank suddenly and his whole body froze.
"The hotel is just a disguise... an intelligence network..." He muttered, reading the pages several times, and every word was like a nail, piercing deeply into his mind.
"Intelligence network covering the entire Shinobi World!" Kakuzu suddenly raised his head and stared at Senju Chen, his green eyes filled with unbelievable shock and a hint of unspeakable fear.
He had imagined Senju Chen's ambition, perhaps to become the shadow of a village, or to control the power of a country. But he never expected that this young man would actually set his sights on the entire Shinobi World, and in such an incredible way!
Use the "Food Is Heaven" chain hotel to bring together the three religions and nine streams, steal information while drinking and drinking, and establish a huge intelligence network that spans Five Great Nations and even penetrates into every important town!
This... this is simply a genius idea that has never been heard of or seen before!
Moreover, the funds required for this will be a truly astronomical figure!
Just thinking about it, Kakuzu felt his heart (newly replaced) twitching. He had lived for more than ninety years and had been dealing with money all his life. He boasted that his sensitivity to money was unparalleled. But at this moment, when he looked at this plan, the string of zeros that appeared in his mind made him feel dizzy.
"What? Old guy, are you scared?" Senju Chen looked at Kakuzu's reaction, and the smile on his face became even bigger. He picked up the snacks on the table and ate a piece slowly.
"This... this..." Kakuzu was speechless for a long time. His throat was dry, as if he was being strangled by an invisible hand.
"What on earth do you want to do?!" Kakuzu's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of unprecedented solemnity. For the first time, he discovered that he knew nothing about the young man named Senju in front of him.
Senju Chen put down the snack, picked up the teacup, and took a sip with a calm expression. "What do you want to do? Isn't it very clear? Establish an intelligence network covering the entire Shinobi World, and make some money on the way."
"Make... make some money?" Kakuzu's mouth twitched. This kid referred to these gold-eating beasts as "making some money"? This is simply the greatest blasphemy against money!
"This is not as simple as 'making some money'! This requires an astronomical amount of capital investment! You Senju Clan, no matter how rich you are, you can't afford such a squandering!" Kakuzu couldn't help but roared. He felt that his view of money had been impacted like never before.
Senju Chen slowly put down the teacup and looked at Kakuzu with deep eyes. "Oh? You think Senju Clan doesn't have that much money? Do you think I was bragging to you before?"
Kakuzu was stunned. Of course he knew that Senju Clan had a deep foundation, but no matter how deep it was, it would not be easy to support a huge plan of this scale. This was not about opening a few small stores, but extending its tentacles to the entire Shinobi World!
"You... did you say before that I would share one percent of Food Is Heaven's profits?" Kakuzu suddenly thought of something, and the flames of greed ignited in his eyes again. If this plan is true, then the one percent share... that would be enough wealth to make him rich as a country!
