Rising from the age of thirty

Chapter 177 Lu Quan is numb

"It's more than one or two sentences. We have time, so let's talk slowly."

Lu Le patted his shoulder.

"Let me take a look at this big guy."

Lu Quan ran around, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

"It's a brand new one. Tell me quickly, how much did it cost?"

I've always heard about Lui Lok's business, but I've never heard about what kind of business he does.

It's only been half a year since we last saw each other. We got together once during the Qingming Festival. There's a saying that goes, "You make a fortune in silence."

"As you said, two million is quite cheap." Lu Le said truthfully. It's not the one that costs more than three million.

Lu Quan: “…”

Listen, what you say is human?

Damn, how many people work hard all their lives and still can’t earn a million.

Why does it sound so easy in Lu Le's mouth?

"Last time, Uncle Yu bought a Camry. I thought he was the most powerful in the village, but I didn't expect...——"

It's funny to think about the time when the brothers had supper together more than half a month ago.

No wonder Lui Lok didn’t come, he’s so low-key.

Without saying a word, he directly picked up the Mercedes-Benz.

“The Camry is pretty good too.”

Lu Quan shook his head: "Only two hundred thousand."

"Oh, my dad has returned to the village. Didn't you hear about it?"

"When is it?"

"Last week."

After Lu Qingguo returned to the village, he drove the car into the field. Then all the men in the village came to lift the car, each holding a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes. Now everyone knew that he bought a Highlander.

Moreover, they didn't know the reason and were all wondering whether Lu Qingguo was being kept by some rich woman.

"Come on in the middle of the day. Come on in. We've got a new air conditioner. Let's chat inside."

Lu Le had been here once before. At that time, there was no air conditioning. There was only a fan in the summer, and the wind it blew was hot and very uncomfortable.

"Why would you be willing to install air conditioning?"

"No way, this summer is too hot."

Lu Le followed him in. The environment inside was pretty good. A large pot was used to stew duck necks, duck feet and the like. A timer showed that it would take half an hour before the food would be ready.

"How many pounds did you stew today?"

"There are fewer these days. It's probably because of the hot weather. Everyone is afraid of getting a sore throat!"

"You might as well find a new job. Your store is run-down and you're going to lose a lot of customers." What Lu Le said was true. Many people don't like run-down stores, even if the food is delicious.

"You're right. When you join the franchise, you are required to renovate the store every three years. I'm short of money. I have worked hard to earn some money, and I want to invest it back? I can't bear to do that!" Lu Quan shook his head. The store only made a little salary, and it wasn't much, which was better than working for a part-time job.

Lui Lok responded: "Yes, the renovation will cost at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, and you don't know if you can save enough in a year."

"I have also thought about changing jobs. This business won't last long. Unless I change places and start over, I don't want to go through all the trouble." Lu Quan shook his head slightly.

The two chatted about family matters. Lu Quan picked a dozen duck feet and duck necks from the pot, cut them into plates, and took out a few bottles of beer from the refrigerator: "Come on, fill your stomach first."

Lui Lok was not polite either.

"Drink it. It's okay to get drunk. Don't sell this pot of yours. I'll pack it up and leave later!!"

Lui Lok didn't even mention money.

Lu Quan was quite generous: "Brother, you can't finish it all by yourself, I'll pack ten kilograms for you, but business still needs to be done, I'll just drink one bottle, and I still need to keep in shape to sell it."

Lu Le: “…”

The two of them don't seem to be on the same channel.

"I mean, I want all of it."

"Brother, are you serious?"

"I'm not kidding."

"Okay, I'll drink it without worry."

Lu Quan can't drink much, only about three or four bottles.

About half an hour later, a man came into the store and respectfully called Lu Le, "Boss." "Xiao Chen, wait a moment, I'll ask the boss to pack it for you and you can take it back to the company."

Xiao Chen nodded: "Okay."

Half an hour ago, he received a message from his boss Lu Le, asking him to come here.

Lu Quan: “???”

It took him a long time to react: "Fuck, he is your employee??"

Lu Le didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, pack it up quickly, you've already started to refuse to drink."

Soon, a pot of braised food was packed and asked Xiao Chen from the company to take it back.

Xiao Chen was stunned throughout the whole process.

Is this your own boss?

"Don't hide it, kid. Tell me quickly, what kind of business do you do and who your employees are?" After sitting down again, Lu Quan couldn't wait to speak.

"It's an investment company with many departments, including factories and media!"

"Fuck, you're awesome."

Lu Quan was surprised.

At this moment, Ding——

Receive 5000 yuan via WeChat.

Lu Quan looked at his phone in confusion, wondering who had sent him five thousand?

"How do you give me money?"

“Braised food!”

"It won't be that much, at most two thousand. Wait a minute, I'll return three thousand to you."

"Come on, this is just some money."

Lu Le shook his head.

With more than 4 billion yuan deposited in the bank, based on the 3% deposit rate, the interest for one day alone is more than 40,000 yuan.

Lu Quan: “…”

"Okay, you have money, go ahead, I won't refuse!!"

Lu Le patted his shoulder and said, "You must be envious. If you work with me, you can also buy a car."

Lu Quan blinked: "How come your tone sounds like a pyramid scheme?"

"Isn't this what happens when a boss paints a rosy picture for his employees?"

“Can you really buy a car?”

Of course Lu Quan was envious. He was 31 years old, but he still drove a second-hand Fit, and he didn't have much savings. He worked as a kitchen worker, and no woman was interested in him. He was still a bachelor.

"Tie Niu has bought a BMW."

"what?"

"Is Tieniu in your company?"

"Yes, he was unemployed at first, so Shitou called him over and we got together."

"It won't be long before you can drive a BMW."

Lu Quan's eyes widened.

"The stone is almost there, but this guy's money needs to be saved. He said he wants to get married."

"I am tempted by what you said, but your company is probably full of talented people. I don't have any special skills, so it would be useless no matter where I go!"

Lu Quan's worries are not unreasonable. Even if Lu Le is his brother, if he cannot bring benefits to the company, what is the difference between him and an ordinary employee?

"How could there not be any? Look at Shitou and Tieniu, are they talented people?"

"Then I'll go over there, what can I do?"

"I need people for many things. I don't feel safe leaving it to other people."

Seeing that Lu Quan was still hesitating, Lu Le continued: "How about I give you a salary of 10,000 yuan? It will solve your worries."

Ten thousand?
After hearing this, Lu Quan widened his eyes and took a breath.

You know, there are not many people in Guangdong who can earn 10,000 yuan a salary. They are either those who do heavy work, skilled workers, or intellectuals and high-paid white-collar workers.

In Lu Le's eyes, ten thousand is just the beginning, just like a stone, it also started with ten thousand, and was given appropriately according to the position. Now two veterans of the company get fifty thousand a month.
