Back To 2005

Brother, it's quite expensive to eat here.

Looking at the Blue Sky Coffee on the top floor, Zhou Shun, who was feeling a little depressed, still couldn't help but sigh.

Although he has never eaten here, he has heard many people mention it.

Come to Blue Sky Cafe to eat. A cup of coffee costs hundreds, and steaks start at three to five hundred. The per capita consumption is more than 500. It is considered the most expensive coffee shop in Lizhou.

Even though he and his girlfriend's combined income is not low, they have never eaten here once.

On the contrary, he proposed to eat here on his girlfriend's birthday, but her girlfriend changed it to the cheap and high-quality Cross-Strait Coffee not far away on the grounds of saving money.

Don't worry, I'm treating you today.

After smiling, Zhou Anan took the lead in walking to the elevator in front.

Because the first floor has been rented to a state-owned bank, the only access to the upper floors is a foyer and elevator room that occupies a relatively small area.

Good afternoon, Mr. Zhou. The box has been prepared for you. Please come with me.

The manager of the Blue Sky Coffee Shop, who had been notified long ago, was waiting at the elevator entrance to respectfully guide the other party to the box.

It's time to serve.

After sitting down, Zhou Anan said to the female manager.

Okay, please wait a moment.

Within two minutes, three hot steaks were delivered quickly, along with coffee, fruit, and snacks.

With a card like this, it would be impossible to afford it without Xiao Qian.

Eat.

After all the waiters left, Zhou Anan asked everyone to start eating without saying anything else.

When eating, it is better not to talk about unhappy topics, so as not to affect everyone's appetite.

Until everyone had almost finished eating, Zhou Anan took a sip of warm milk and started talking about the previous topic: If you are allowed to win, how much do you think is enough?

Brother, I definitely won't play anymore. I really just passed by yesterday and didn't mean to go out to play.

Speaking of this topic, Zhou Shun quickly shook his head and explained.

It's okay, let me tell you, I won't scold you. How much do you think you can win before you feel comfortable and won't go there again?

Without paying attention to the other party's explanation, Zhou Anan continued, without any intention of educating the other party.

The other party is an adult and has been working for several years, so lessons are of no use.

Well, it might be enough to win back the previous one.

Facing his cousin's eyes, Zhou Shun lowered his head and expressed the true thoughts in his mind.

This is just a small request. Is the 150,000 yuan your parents borrowed to build a house enough? Anyway, you have to win more than ten or two hundred thousand. It's best to buy a house in the city, right?

Raising her eyebrows, Zhou Anan mercilessly exposed the false rhetoric.

Wanting to win even after winning back your capital is basically the mentality of players who play slot machines. As a result, there are many people who are tricked and lose all their money.

In the next few years, more advanced and bad websites will emerge one after another on the Internet, which will bankrupt many people who have no determination.

I

Hearing his cousin's words, Zhou Shun opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.

In fact, he did think so.

Earning 500 a day, 15,000 a month, or 200,000 a year.

Tell me, how much is the building under our feet worth?

Without continuing to ask, Zhou Anan suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

This should cost tens of millions, right?

Suddenly hearing such a strange question, Zhou Shun thought for a while and gave the vague data based on the concepts in his mind.

He has never bought a house in the city, so he doesn't know the specific house price at all, but such a big building must cost tens of millions.

60 million. According to the increase in house prices in Lizhou this year, the price of this house will exceed 100 million by the end of the year.

As the owner, Zhou Anan naturally knew the specific price of this building. After telling it, he did not forget to add: I bought this building.

What?

His mind was a little hard to turn around. Zhou Shun opened his eyes wide and asked in shock: Brother, you said this building belongs to you?

What, don't believe it? Come with me.

Zhou Anan was not surprised by his cousin's surprised look, nor did he explain too much. He stood up with a smile and walked out.

During this period, he took a high look at his cousin's girlfriend who was surprised but responded quickly.

Women are always more attentive than men in some areas. Maybe the other party has guessed it before.

Brother, we haven't paid yet?

No, this is a franchise store opened by me. You can come here for free in the future.

They led their cousin to the elevator. Zhou Anan, who was about to enter, heard his cousin's words and explained, then took them to the top floor.

In the hall on the top floor, looking at the luxurious decoration and the rockery and flowing water outside the glass wall, both Zhou Shun and Qian Yuqin had a dreamy feeling.

They have never seen such a luxurious house. It is half a floor in size and has more than half a floor in the sky. It is simply a mansion that they have never dreamed of.

How much does this house cost?

Want something to drink?

Opening the refrigerator and looking at the drinks with very new production dates, Zhou Anan casually asked his two cousins ​​who were looking around.

I want a bottle of water.

I'll just give you a bottle of water.

Coming back to their senses by their cousin's shouts, Zhou and Shun walked over to catch the mineral water. They didn't know what to say for a moment.

Do you think you can earn such a house by playing that slot machine?

At this time, Zhou Anan repeated the previous question again.

How is that possible? I don't think I can even afford to buy a toilet.

Regarding this point, Zhou Shun shook his head repeatedly and answered with great certainty.

When he saw a house like his cousin's, the idea that he could make more money after earning 500 yuan seemed to disappear.

Just this house, including all the net worth of the arcade owner and those who play slot machines, cannot afford it.

Just think about it clearly. If you feel that your current salary can no longer satisfy you, then you can open a franchise store like Li Bin and others, and the money you earn will be your own.

Without any more long nonsense, Zhou Anan directly gave the other party a choice.

If he remembered correctly, last year the store manager Zhou Shun received a salary bonus of RMB 70,000 to RMB 80,000, which was considered a high salary in a small county like Lizhou.

However, compared to Li Bin who opened the second Gangji franchise store in Wuzhou, there is definitely a gap.

When a person can earn more wealth and hold tens or even millions of liquid funds, then the original obsession of winning or losing a few hundred yuan in gambling becomes a dispensable extra thing.

It is better to teach a person to fish than to teach him to fish. Zhou Anan does not think that directly giving the other party a large amount of money can change the other party's mind. Getting something for nothing will make the other party sink deeper and deeper.

Only the wealth you have earned through hard work will be cherished.

Think about it for yourself first, and don't rush to answer me. Yuqin, I didn't think highly of you before. You must know the reason why. However, you did a pretty good job this time. In this way, you can go to Lizhou Audi 4S store Lifting a car should be regarded as a reward for you.

Seeing that his cousin was still hesitant, Zhou Anan did not urge him, but turned to his cousin's girlfriend.

He had not been optimistic about his cousin's out-of-town girlfriend before, partly because of her family background and previous job, and partly because she might not be willing to accompany his cousin to endure hardships due to her outstanding appearance.

From the current point of view, everything the other party has done is quite acceptable. The cousin really needs such a thoughtful girlfriend to control him, so he, as a cousin, will not interfere too much.

Brother, can I not have an Audi car? I want to change my request.

After hearing what his cousin said, Qian Yuqin struggled internally for two seconds before bravely speaking out.
