Chapter 524 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land

Five billion?

Chen Shuren thought about his savings, which seemed to be only one-tenth of the investment of this large shopping mall?

It seems that Ding Mingbo was right, that is, running an entertainment company in Jizhou is not as profitable as running real estate.

How long did Chen Shuren work to earn five small goals, but Ding Mingbo invested five billion!

I can only say that people are angry when they compare themselves with others!

If Ding Mingbo knew Chen Shuren's thoughts, he would probably be embarrassed.

It is five billion, but it does not mean that he invested five billion.

His real net worth is only twice that of Chen Shuren.

But he is 45 years old!

Only with the help of his father could he get this money in twenty years. What about Chen Shuren?

"Mr. Ding, I'm afraid I can't agree to this with you."

Chen Shuren shook his head.

If it was at the beginning when "Run Together" was not paid attention to by Daxia, Chen Shuren would never refuse to meet a sponsor like Ding Mingbo.

But now, what Chen Shuren has to do is to promote Jizhou, not Ding Mingbo.

Even if you want to make a similar plan, you have to do it in the top few buildings in Jizhou.

If you really want to make a plan for Ding Mingbo's newly opened shopping mall, anyone who is not a fool can see that there is an inside story.

Chen Shuren is not short of money, so there is no need to provoke such trouble.

Hearing Chen Shuren's refusal, Ding Mingbo's smile froze.

5% of 5 billion is not worth it?

Or is he really so principled?

After thinking about it, Ding Mingbo smiled again.

"Haha, I'm abrupt. Let's go to dinner first and talk at the dinner table."

Chen Shuren was willing to eat, but can we talk again?

What to talk about?

But face still needs to be given, even if it is for Zeng Yiwen's care in the past few days.

Not long after, the group of five returned to Mingbo Hotel.

But this time, it was no longer a dinner for mid-level chefs.

"Consultant Chen, I have another friend here too. Let's get to know each other later. He is also an investor in Mingbo Shopping Mall."

Ding Mingbo said with a smile.

Chen Shuren raised his eyebrows.

It seems that Ding Mingbo will not give up until he achieves his goal.

I have to tell him clearly later.

At worst, I can refuse his favor and move to another place.

If that doesn't work, it's not like I can't afford a house.

After entering the private room, Chen Shuren saw an enthusiastic fat man standing up to greet him.

"Oh, this is Consultant Chen! Hello, hello, I'm Cai Chenggong!"

Cai Chenggong shook Chen Shuren's hand and said to Ding Mingbo with a sigh: "A handsome man, he is indeed a handsome man!"

"I have never seen many artists who are better looking than Consultant Chen in Zhongzhou!"

Chen Shuren smiled and nodded: "Boss Cai, you are too kind. Zhongzhou is full of talents. I am nothing."

"Consultant Chen, although I, Cai Chenggong, like to flatter, I am not talking nonsense!"

Cai Chenggong looked serious.

"Really, when we have time, Consultant Chen will know when he goes to Zhongzhou."

Ding Mingbo, who was standing by, saw Cai Chenggong finished speaking, and then asked several people to sit down.

"Okay, okay, sit down first!"

"Xiao Zeng, take out the bottle of wine I saved and let Consultant Chen taste it!"

Cai Chenggong said proudly.

Zeng Yiwen smiled and stood up, ready to get the wine.

But Tang Yingcheng stared at Chen Shuren.

"Oh, Mr. Cai, I don't drink."

"Ah? That's a pity."

Cai Chenggong looked regretful and didn't continue to persuade.

When the dishes were served, Ding Mingbo smiled and said:

"Old Cai was originally from Jizhou, and later settled in Zhongzhou. After the incident in Daxia Hezhou came out, he and I did several projects in Jizhou."

Cai Chenggong heard Ding Mingbo start, so he also took over the conversation.

"I have to say that Old Ding, this business genius, has been buried. If I were to say, if he had been exposed to real estate earlier, he would definitely be one of the top ten figures in Jizhou."

Ding Mingbo waved his hand.

"Old Cai, don't joke too much!"

Chen Shuren watched the two people singing the same tune, and just smiled politely.

At this moment, Shi Lei next to him handed his mobile phone to Chen Shuren.

Chen Shuren was surprised, and he was even more surprised after taking it.

On Shi Lei's mobile phone, it was written: "Brother Shu, this Cai Chenggong is the fat man who left after mocking after getting off the plane that day, that's right!"

Chen Shuren didn't pay attention to the fat man at the beginning, and he didn't remember it as deeply as Shi Lei.

After being reminded at this time, looking at Cai Chenggong's body shape and voice, they are really similar.

Chen Shuren returned the phone to Shi Lei, looked at Cai Chenggong, and said nothing.

Originally, he didn't plan to help Ding Mingbo and Cai Chenggong, and he would not help them when he knew about this.

A person's character can only be seen clearly when they don't know each other and have no conflicts of interest.

If there was no such thing at the airport, even if Chen Shuren didn't agree to this, he would definitely have a good impression of Cai Chenggong.

At this time, Cai Chenggong brought the topic to Chen Shuren.

"By the way, Consultant Chen, I heard that this is your first time in Jizhou?"

"Yes."

"Where are you staying now?"

"At Mingbo Hotel."

Hearing this, Cai Chenggong smiled and said to Ding Mingbo: "Old Ding, you are not righteous. You let Consultant Chen stay in the hotel when he comes?"

Before Ding Mingbo could speak, Cai Chenggong took out a file bag from the seat next to him.

"Consultant Chen, take a look."

Chen Shuren took it and took a look.

Good guy, I have all the documents to prove a villa and two sets of keys.

One bunch should belong to the villa, and the other bunch should be car keys.

"Consultant Chen, you can live in this villa. There is a car in the garage. Ding Mingbo is stingy, but I am not stingy!"

Ding Mingbo pointed at Cai Chenggong with a smile and shook his head.

But his eyes were directed at Chen Shuren.

Chen Shuren had already reinstalled the things.

"Mr. Cai, it's too expensive. I don't dare to ask for this gift from you."

Chen Shuren pushed the thing back.

The smile on Cai Chenggong's face faded a little. After glancing at Ding Mingbo, he pushed the bag to the middle again.

"Consultant Chen, to tell you the truth, I am giving you this villa because I am asking for it from you."

"The Mingbo shopping mall that Lao Ding and I own is about to open, and it needs a strong publicity. I have watched the program "Run Together" and it is very suitable for a shopping mall."

"If you, Consultant Chen, can plan a program, Lao Ding's conditions remain unchanged, and these things will also be yours."

With that said, Cai Chenggong pushed the bag over again.

Chen Shuren looked at this scene and instantly felt that the adult world was too unfriendly, and that the second dimension was better.

"Mr. Cai, thank you for your love of "Run Together", but I can't promise you this, or in other words, even if I promise you, it's useless."

Chen Shuren pointed at it.

"The program has to be sent to the higher authorities for review. If your mall is very famous in Jizhou, then it doesn't matter if I plan a program there."

"But your shopping mall is just a shopping mall that has not yet opened. It cannot be said that it is not famous, but it is not enough to represent Jizhou, right?"

Chen Shuren's words made both Ding Mingbo and Cai Chenggong lose their smiles.

Isn't this bullshit?

If it can represent Jizhou, then use "Run Together" to promote it.

Seeing Chen Shuren's apathetic look, Ding Mingbo still suppressed his displeasure and revealed the matter.

The subsequent meal session was not as lively as the beginning.

Even Chen Shuren felt that there was not enough of this dish.

Is it possible that they still have two tables of food?

One table is said to have been negotiated, and the other table is said to have failed to be negotiated?

Laughing in his heart, Chen Shuren was quite satisfied with his meal.

After eating, Chen Shuren said goodbye and left, preparing to go back to his room.

Before leaving, Chen Shuren said to Cai Chenggong: "Mr. Cai, do you think you are a country bumpkin if you have never been to Zhongzhou?"

Cai Chenggong was stunned for a moment and then replied:

"It doesn't count."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Seeing Chen Shuren and the others leaving, Cai Chenggong looked confused.

"What did he mean when he asked you just now?"

Ding Mingbo looked at Cai Chenggong and said.

"How do I know? I've never been to Zhongzhou. What am I to be a country bumpkin?"

"Then you just said yes?"

"I'm not stupid!"

…

After Chen Shuren returned to the room, Shi Lei started mumbling.

"That old boy is really hypocritical. He said no. That's not what he said at the airport."

Chen Shuren smiled and said: "Haha, people will always protect their own image."

Then Shi Lei sighed.

"But speaking of it, are they really rich? They gave away a house, a car, and shares, all in exchange for one episode of "Run Together"?"

Tang Yingcheng answered: "Then you are looking down on them. Jizhou and Hezhou are on the horizon, and "Run Together" is another program of a big summer nature. This advertisement is not small."

Shi Lei frowned.

"Then I don't feel it's worth it."

Chen Shuren looked at Shi Lei, shook his head and said:

"That's because you don't know how greedy they can be!"

"Do you really think that 5% is so easy to get? When the time comes, will they use my name to promote it? Or will they ask me to do something for them?"

"For example, let the members of "Run Together" advertise their shopping malls one by one?"

"As long as I take that 5%, I will be tied to their boat. I'm afraid they will mention whatever I do in the future."

When Chen Shuren said this, Shi Lei was speechless.

But then, Chen Shuren's words made him understand why Chen Shuren could resist the temptation.

"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if I add some impure things in "Run Together", Daxia will not say anything, but the credibility I have accumulated in Daxia will A lot of it was gone, even empty.”

"What do you think is more important, that villa, car, and 5% of the shares, or is Daxia more important to my senses?"

Chen Shuren raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei thought for a while and then said: "If it were me, money should be the most important thing!"

Chen Shuren rolled his eyes, while Tang Yingcheng laughed out loud.

the next day.

Chen Shuren took the two of them and left, preparing to start their trip to Jizhou.

But what he didn't expect was that a phone call would delay his schedule again.

Not long after Chen Shuren left, Ding Mingbo asked Zeng Yiwen to make an appointment with Chen Shuren.

Yesterday's fortune did not win over Chen Shuren.

So today, I’m going to give it a try.

But when Zeng Yiwen knocked on the door and there was no answer, he asked the front desk and found out that Chen Shuren and the others had checked out!

This operation directly made Ding Mingbo blush.

…

Chen Shuren naturally didn't know what he had missed. At this time, he was having dinner with an old friend.

"Why did you come to Jizhou?"

Chen Shuren looked at Luo Lijin curiously.

When he received the call today, he was also surprised. He did not expect Luo Lijin to be in Jizhou.

"There is a project in Jizhou. I happened to know that you are in Jizhou, so I wanted to meet you."

Luo Lijin looked at Chen Shuren with a smile.

Although the project problem this time was very difficult, when he learned that Chen Shuren was in Jizhou, he still took the time to meet him.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is such an opportunity to enhance feelings. How could you miss it?

"Hey, has your business reached Jizhou?"

Chen Shuren joked.

Speaking of which, he felt that his relationship with Luo Lijin was only average among many friends.

But Luo Lijin was very kind to him.

Whether it's the filming of the God of Cookery, or the investment in kung fu, etc.

But meeting Luo Lijin in Jizhou this time really made Chen Shuren very happy.

Especially after meeting businessmen like Ding Mingbo and Cai Chenggong who only have interests in their eyes, Luo Lijin's appearance is great.

"It's hard to describe in words."

Luo Lijin thought for a while, since they were all his own people, there was nothing bad to say.

"Actually, I came here this time because a project was almost unfinished. I had no choice but to put aside my affairs in Yanzhou and come to Jizhou."

Hearing Luo Lijin's words, the smile on Chen Shuren's face faded.

"Unfinished? No funds?"

Luo Lijin smiled bitterly: "It would be easy to solve if we ran out of funds, but unfortunately not."

Later, Luo Lijin told Chen Shuren about his project.

In general, it was originally planned very well, but after it was built, it couldn't be sold.

The reason for this was not that Luo Lijin had poor vision or that he was deceived.

Luo Lijin’s project is a hotpot city.

It's still the kind of specialty hot pot city built in a place similar to terraces.

At the beginning of the project establishment, Jizhou already had a similar project.

Therefore, it is not considered an innovation and does not involve much risk.

Luo Lijin also showed the design drawing to several designers at that time, and they all said it was very good.

But as I was doing it, somehow, the wind direction in Jizhou suddenly changed.

Hot pot city is no longer popular!

The hot pot city that Luo Lijin used as a reference before saw its business plummet, and now most of it is closed.

Based on this, Luo Lijin's hotpot city project is in trouble.

The hotpot city is ready, but no one wants to open a hotpot restaurant!

You can't. Luo Lijin also wants to set up his own catering company and make hot pot by himself, right?

"In fact, it doesn't matter. After all, the infrastructure is already ready. If we can't build a hotpot city, if we change it, it will be another project."

Listening to Luo Lijin's relaxed words, Chen Shuren shook his head in his heart.

It can't be that simple. If it were like what Luo Lijin said, I'm afraid he wouldn't say it was a mess.

"Where is your project? Anyway, we are going to visit various areas in Jizhou, why not go take a look? Maybe the three of us can give you some advice."

Hearing what Chen Shuren said, Luo Lijin felt warm in his heart.

Originally, he came with the intention of strengthening his relationship, but now, he really wants to make his relationship with Chen Shuren stronger.

"Then go and have a look."
