After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

five billion?
Chen Shuren thought about his own savings, it seemed that it was only one tenth of the investment in this large shopping mall?

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

It took Chen Shuren a long time to earn five small goals, but Ding Mingbo invested 5 billion in one go!

I can only say that comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!

If Ding Mingbo knew what Chen Shuren was thinking, it would probably be a bit embarrassing.

It is said to be 5 billion, but it does not mean that he invested 5 billion.

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

But he is 45 years old!
It was only with the help of his father that he was able to get this money in twenty years. What about Chen Shuren?

"Boss Ding, I'm afraid I can't promise you this."

Chen Shuren shook his head.

If it was at the beginning, when "Run Together" had not been noticed by Daxia, Chen Shuren would definitely not refuse a sponsor like Ding Mingbo.

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

Even if we want to carry out a similar plan, we have to do it among the top buildings in Jizhou.

If you really want to plan for Ding Mingbo’s newly opened shopping mall, anyone who is not a fool can see that there is something fishy going on.

Chen Shuren is not short of money, so there is no need for him to get into trouble.

When Ding Mingbo heard Chen Shuren’s refusal, his smile froze.

You don’t even care about 5% of billion?

Or are you really that principled?
After thinking about it, Ding Mingbo smiled again.

"Haha, I'm so abrupt. Let's go eat first and then talk at the table."

Chen Shuren was willing to have dinner, but could he continue chatting?

What to talk about?
But face still needs to be given, even if it is just for Zeng Yiwen's care over 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.

"Advisor 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 looks like Ding Mingbo will not give up until he achieves his goal.

I'll have to tell him clearly later.

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

If all else fails, it’s not like you can’t afford a house.

After entering the private room, Chen Shuren saw a warm-hearted fat man standing up to greet him.

"Hey, this must be Consultant Chen! Hello, I'm Cai Chenggong!"

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

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

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

"Advisor Chen, although I, Cai Chenggong, like to flatter people, I'm not saying anything nonsense!"

Cai Chenggong looked very serious.

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

Ding Mingbo, who was standing by, saw Cai Chenggong finish speaking, and then asked everyone to sit down.

"Okay, okay, sit down first!"

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

Cai Chenggong said proudly.

Zeng Yiwen stood up with a smile and prepared to get the wine.

As a result, Tang Yingcheng stared at Chen Shuren.

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

"Ah? That's a pity."

Cai Chenggong looked regretful and did not continue to persuade him.

When the dishes were served, Ding Mingbo said with a smile:

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

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

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

Ding Mingbo waved his hand.

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

Chen Shuren looked at the two of them singing the same tune and just smiled politely.

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

Chen Shuren was surprised, and even more surprised after he took it and looked at it.

On Shi Lei's phone, it was written: "Brother Shu, this Cai Chenggong is the fat guy who left after mocking me that day when he got off the plane, that's right!"

Chen Shuren didn't pay attention to the fat man at first, nor did he remember him as clearly as Shi Lei did.

Now that I was reminded of this, and looking at Cai Chenggong's body shape and voice again, they are really similar.

Chen Shuren returned the phone to Shi Lei and looked at Cai Chenggong without saying anything.

Originally, he had no intention of helping Ding Mingbo and Cai Chenggong, and now that he knew about this, he naturally would not help them.

A person's character can be best seen when the two parties do not know each other and have no conflict of interest.

If it weren't for the incident at the airport, even if Chen Shuren didn't agree to this matter, he would definitely have a good impression of Tsai Chenggong.

At this moment, Cai Chenggong turned the topic to Chen Shuren.

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

"Correct."

"So where do you live now?"

"It's at the Mingbo Hotel."

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

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

"Advisor Chen, take a look."

Chen Shuren took it and took a look.

Wow, all kinds of documents and proof of a villa, and two sets of keys.

One bunch should be the keys to the villa, and the other one is the car key.

"Advisor Chen, you can live in this villa. There's even a car in the garage. Ding Mingbo is stingy, but I'm not!"

Ding Mingbo smiled, pointed at Cai Chenggong and shook his head.

But his eyes were directed towards Chen Shuren.

Chen Shuren had already repacked his things by now.

"Boss Cai, this gift is too expensive. I don't dare to accept it."

Chen Shuren pushed the thing back.

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

"Advisor Chen, to be honest, I'm giving you this villa because I need a favor from you."

"The Mingbo Shopping Mall that Lao Ding and I own is about to open, and we need a strong wave of publicity. I've seen the show "Run Together", and it's very suitable for a shopping mall."

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

As he said that, Cai Chenggong pushed the bag over again.

When Chen Shuren saw this scene, he instantly felt that the adult world was too unfriendly and that the two-dimensional world was better.

"Mr. Cai, thank you for your love for "Run Together", but I can't promise you this. Or rather, even if I promise you, it's useless."

Chen Shuren pointed upwards.

"The program needs to be sent to the higher authorities for review. If your shopping mall is very famous in Jizhou, then it's okay for me to plan a program there."

"But your mall is just a mall that hasn't opened yet. It can be said to be famous, but it can't reach the level of representing Jizhou, right?"

Chen Shuren's words made Ding Mingbo and Cai Chenggong lose their smiles. Isn't this just bullshit?

If it can represent Jizhou, then use "Run Together" for promotion.

Seeing Chen Shuren's stubborn look, Ding Mingbo suppressed his unhappiness and let the matter go.

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

Even Chen Shuren felt that the dish was not served enough.

Could it be that they have two more tables of food?
One table says the deal was concluded, while the other says it was not concluded?

Chen Shuren laughed in his heart, but he was quite satisfied with the meal.

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

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

Cai Chenggong was stunned for a moment before replying:
"Not counting."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Cai Chenggong looked confused as he watched Chen Shuren and the other two leave.

"What did he mean by that question you asked just now?"

Ding Mingbo looked at Cai Chenggong and said.

"How should I know? If you haven't been to Zhongzhou, what else can you be but a bumpkin?"

"So you just said yes?"

"I'm not stupid!"

……

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

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

Chen Shuren laughed and said, "Haha, people always want to protect their image."

Then Shi Lei sighed.

"But speaking of it, they are really rich. They gave away houses, cars, and shares, all in exchange for one episode of 'Run Together'?"

Tang Yingcheng continued, "Then you underestimate them. Jizhou and Hezhou are in sight, and "Run Together" is a Daxia-style program. This advertisement is not small."

Shi Lei frowned.

“Then I don’t think it’s worth it.”

Chen Shuren looked at Shi Lei and shook his head.

"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 for their shopping malls one by one?"

"As long as I take that 5%, I will be tied to their boat, and they will probably complain about everything I do in the future."

When Chen Shuren said this, Shi Lei was already shocked.

But what Chen Shuren said next 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 to "Run Together", Da Xia won't say anything, but the credit I have accumulated in Da Xia will be greatly reduced, or even wiped out."

"Tell me, which is more important, a villa, a car, or 5% of the shares, or Da Xia's feelings for me?"

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

Shi Lei thought about it, and then said: "If it were me, money would be more important!"

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

the next day.

Chen Shuren took the two of them away and prepared to start their journey to Jizhou.

But what he didn't expect was that a phone call delayed his trip again.

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

Yesterday’s fortune did not take down Chen Shuren.

So today, I'm going to try the color.

But when Zeng Yiwen knocked on the door and no one answered, he asked the front desk and found out that Chen Shuren and his friends had checked out!

This action made Ding Mingbo's face turn black.

……

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.

He was also surprised when he received the call today. He didn't expect Luo Lijin to be in Jizhou.

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

Luo Lijin looked at Chen Shuren with a smile.

Although the project issues were very tricky, when he learned that Chen Shuren was in Jizhou, he still took time to meet him.

How could you miss the opportunity to enhance your relationship by meeting an old friend in a foreign land?

"Oh, your business has spread to 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 quite nice to him.

Whether it is 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 care about profits, the appearance of Luo Lijin is great.

"It's hard to describe in words."

Luo Lijin thought about it and decided that since they were all family members, there was nothing wrong with talking about it.

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

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

"Unfinished? No funding?"

Luo Lijin smiled bitterly: "If there is no funding, it would be easy to solve, but unfortunately it is not the case."

Afterwards, Luo Lijin told Chen Shuren about the situation of his project.

In general, the original plan was very good, but after it was produced, it couldn't be sold.

The reason for this is not that Luo Lijin has poor vision or was deceived.

Luo Lijin's project is a hot pot restaurant.

It’s a special hotpot restaurant set up in a place similar to terraced fields.

When the project was first launched, Jizhou already had similar projects.

So it is not an innovation and there is not much risk.

Luo Lijin also showed the design drawings to several designers at the time, and they all said they were very good.

But as they were doing this, somehow the wind direction in Jizhou suddenly changed.

Hotpot City is no longer popular!

The hotpot restaurant that Luo Lijin had used as a reference had seen its business plummet, and most of its stores are now closed.

Based on this, Luo Lijin's hot pot city project fell into a dilemma.

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

It’s impossible that Luo Lijin would set up his own catering company and make hotpot, right?
"It's not a big deal, after all, the infrastructure is already in place. If we can't build a hotpot restaurant, we can just make some changes and turn it into another project."

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

It's not that simple. If it was really as Luo Lijin said, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said it had a bad ending.

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

Hearing Chen Shuren say this, Luo Lijin felt warm in his heart.

Originally, he came here with the intention of improving their relationship, but now, he really wants to have an even stronger relationship with Chen Shuren.

"Then go have a look."
