The Prodigal Son: I Can Foresee the Future

Lin Ming was speaking in a serious tone.

But in Shaoyang's eyes, he looked so unserious.

"According to my understanding of you, if you are still the same guy as you were ten years ago, then what you are saying now is all nonsense!"

Shaoyang glared at Lin Ming, and then looked at Chen Jia again.

"And you, I remember you were a very dignified girl, and you generally didn't like to joke around. How come you have changed after marrying this guy?"

"Love the house and the dog!"

Chen Jia pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Besides, what does this have to do with being dignified? Do I have to keep a cold face and say nothing? That's what dignified means?"

"That's not what I meant..."

Shaoyang muttered.

Then he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, I know you two have good intentions. I am very happy that you can use your connections to help me find Xiao Ning's whereabouts. As for the rest, I am afraid that money cannot solve it, so don't get involved."

"Money may not solve all problems, but it can solve a large part of them!"

Lin Ming snapped his fingers: "You know, Brother Shao, I am a businessman. I will not ignore any industry that can make money. The catering industry itself is one of the national economic pillars. How can I miss it?"

"Lin Ming, do you really think I am stupid?"

Shao Yang snorted coldly: "The catering industry is indeed one of the national economic pillars, but it should be divided into catering, okay? I only have a small pickled fish store. What can you do if you turn it into a national chain? I am afraid it is not as good as a drop in the bucket of your pharmaceutical company!"

"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to take me!" Lin Ming said with grievance.

"Get lost!"

Shaoyang sighed deeply: "I know you two are kind-hearted, but..."

"Get lost!"

Chen Jia stood up suddenly: "I'm really impressed. You're panting even when I told you you're fat!"

"You don't want to take us with you? Are you afraid that we won't share our earnings with you?"

"What does it matter? Anyway, we're living very comfortably now. You can't find a wife, so it's none of our business!"

"Let Xiao Ning suffer in her hometown!"

"When I find her later, I'll tell her that we're willing to invest in Shaoyang and have the confidence to make this pickled fish restaurant a success. But you... Shaoyang must ignore her for your broken face!"

"Life is like this. If you miss this woman, there will be another one waiting for you."

"It's the same with Xiao Ning. She just finds a man to marry. She will cook for him and wash clothes for him in the future. She may have to look at his face."

"As for happiness or not, it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, no one in this world cares about her life or death. She just lives numbly."

After hearing these words, Shaoyang's face turned red. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to refute.

"5 million, is it enough?" Lin Ming suddenly asked.

"What 5 million?" Shaoyang asked subconsciously.

"Open a store like this."

Lin Ming looked at Shao Yang: "Instead of partnering with others, it's better to partner with me. I'll pay the money, you'll provide the manpower and the formula, and we'll split the profits 50-50."

"This is not appropriate!"

Shao Yang immediately refused: "If you only invest 50,000 or 100,000, then my formula is really worth half of the shares, but if you say 5 million, it's definitely impossible!"

"I'm not just talking about this 5 million."

Lin Ming explained: "Look, in Landao City, every inch of land is worth a lot of money. A similar store can only be sold for 20 years. The rent is hundreds of thousands. If it is bigger, it may cost millions. "

"Don't underestimate the food and beverage industry like pickled fish. Douyin is so powerful now, and there are all kinds of links. In addition to my company and connections, if the store is small, it really can't accommodate such a large flow of customers."

"Apart from the store rent, there are also store decoration, waiter wages, and the cost of getting goods, etc. These may cost another one or two hundred thousand."

"That doesn't cost 5 million!" Shao Yang interrupted.

"If you don't need it, just put it on the store's account. Am I afraid that you will embezzle it?"

Lin Ming rolled his eyes at Shao Yang: "You said, if we let my sister-in-law come back as the manager of this store, with her ability, she will definitely be able to run it very well, right?"

Shao Yang was slightly startled.

I immediately looked up at Lin Ming with a complicated look on his face.

"She is indeed a very capable woman, but she just hasn't encountered a good opportunity."

"Hahaha, I agree with you!"

Lin Ming patted Shao Yang's shoulder: "Then let's make a deal. Starting tomorrow, you will start preparing for the store and the funding.You can use it as you like. I won't interfere with any store management issues. Just wait until the end of the year to share the profits!"

Shaoyang took a deep breath: "What if you lose money?"

"If you lose money, just use it for drinking!"

Shaoyang: "..."

5 million for drinking?

Only a guy of Lin Ming's level would say it so calmly.

In fact, Lin Ming really didn't plan to enter the catering industry.

It is true that the catering industry is the economic pillar of the country,

but if you want to say how profitable it is, it is not necessarily true.

Among all the highly profitable industries in the world, the catering industry is basically not related, which can be seen from the rich list.

Among so many top rich people, how many are in the catering industry?

Only the two people from Haidilao can be regarded as completely saving the hot pot industry.

But their net worth is only a few hundred billion!

If Lin Ming really wants to get into the quagmire of catering, then the ability to predict the future is given to him by God for free!

It is no exaggeration to say that Lin Ming only considers 5 million as paying back for the free meals he ate in Shaoyang all those years.

The key is his own internet celebrity effect, plus so many employees in the group, and Shaoyang's unique pickled fish recipe.

With a little publicity, it is impossible to lose money at the very least, right?

Even if we take a step back -

Even if we give employees such a meal every three or five days, it is enough to completely revitalize the store!

...

Around 9 o'clock in the evening.

Chen Jia stood up and put on a mask.

"It's time to leave."

"Are you leaving now?"

Shaoyang stood up with a reluctant look on his face.

"Don't pretend, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future! "

Lin Ming patted Shao Yang's shoulder: "Brother Shao, to be honest, I'm really happy to see you again. I thought you had returned to your hometown a long time ago!"

"I'm waiting for your investment!" Shao Yang said half-jokingly.

"Okay, let's join hands and create brilliance together!"

Lin Ming laughed loudly, and then walked downstairs with Chen Jia.

What a coincidence.

As soon as he came downstairs, he ran into Zhao Yandong and others who were about to go out.
