← Back to novel The Richest Man: I Really Didn’t Mean to Make Money

#432 · 432 of 449

Fake businessman!

Chen Mo thought happily, and he also realized who to entrust with the responsibility of overseeing the construction of this property project: it was Mei Yun!

With the buff of Mei Yun, combined with the current development situation in East City, his plan to lose money was absolutely foolproof!

After confirming this, Chen Mo turned to look at Mei Yun.

"I've decided. I intend to take over that unfinished building, and I want you to be the person in charge of it."

"President Chen, are you really going to take over that unfinished building? That's really a bit risky!"

Mei Yun said with some concern upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Chen Mo smiled, shook his head, and gently patted Mei Yun on the shoulder.

"Haven't you heard the saying that the higher the risk, the higher the return? So, feel free to go ahead and do it. I believe in you."

"During this period, you handle the renovation matters, and while you're at it, get to know the situation with that unfinished building. When the time is ripe, I will invest in it."

Investing in this unfinished building was a very good plan, but for now, it wasn't something he needed.

As for dealing with this current settlement, it certainly wouldn't make it in time, since the procedures for taking over the unfinished building couldn't be completed in just a few days.

So, for now, he had to arrange for Mei Yun to handle these matters, and when one day the funds were truly excessive, he would directly invest in that unfinished building.

Moreover, according to his planned expectations, building the property project he envisioned would certainly require a huge amount of capital.

Only when there was a day where the System Funds suddenly increased significantly could he invest in that unfinished building.

Mei Yun looked at President Chen's serious expression and understood that President Chen had already made his decision.

"Alright, President Chen, I will look into it carefully."

The vehicle moved slowly and soon arrived at Mingri Group.

Arriving at the top floor and entering the office, Chen Mo directly instructed Shen Rou to prepare a contract for Mei Yun to join Mingri Group.

"Sit down and have some tea."

Chen Mo led Mei Yun to the reception area; as for Mei Yun, this mascot, he naturally had to treat him well.

"Thank you, President Chen."

Mei Yun looked at the tea leaves; it was the same dragon well tea as last time, and he secretly marveled that President Chen had such good taste in life.

The two sat in the reception area and chatted briefly about the apartment and the unfinished building.

Not long after, Shen Rou walked over with two contracts.

Chen Mo took the contracts and then handed them directly to Mei Yun.

"For now, you can only arrange the contract for joining Mingri Group, but once the apartment renovation is finished, we will register a construction company, and then you will be the manager of that construction company."

"Alright, President Chen."

Mei Yun took the contracts without hesitation, briefly looked them over, and after confirming there were no issues, he signed them directly.

From then on, he became a member of Mingri Group.

… In Kyoto, Chen Cong slowly parked the car in the garage of a villa, then walked into the villa's front door with his chest puffed out.

Arriving in front of the villa's door, he pressed his finger on the fingerprint lock, and the door opened instantly.

He changed into a pair of slippers and walked straight inside.

Just as he walked in, he heard the surprised voice of a middle-aged woman.

"Xiao Cong, you're back! Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? I could have made something delicious for you."

Chen Cong looked at his mother's pleasantly surprised face and felt a bit helpless.

"Mom, can you please not call me 'Xiao Cong'? People who don't know might think you're talking about a vegetable."

"Alright, I won't call you that, okay? What do you want to eat, Xiao Cong? Mom will go prepare it for you."

The middle-aged woman smiled gently.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong's expression became even more helpless, and he looked around the Room.

"Where's Dad?"

"Your father is in the study."

"I'll go check."

Chen Cong looked toward the study and walked straight over.

"Xiao Cong, you haven't told me what you want to eat yet."

The middle-aged woman asked with an expectant look.

"Anything except green onions is fine."

After saying this, Chen Cong had already reached the study door, and without knocking, he walked straight in.

Inside the study, a middle-aged man turned around with a dignified expression, looking somewhat sternly at Chen Cong who had entered.

"Haven't I told you before? You need to knock before entering. It's a matter of manners."

"Oh, I know, but you're different, right? Why, do you have something shady in the study, or did you do something to wrong my mom in here?"

Chen Cong pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Don't talk nonsense. If your mother hears that, I won't have a moment of peace for the next few days."

Chen Tianlin looked at the study door and said cautiously.

"Pfft, I think you have a guilty conscience."

"You're the one with the guilty conscience. Don't you know your mother's personality?"

Chen Tianlin said with a helpless expression, then straightened his face and looked seriously at Chen Cong.

"How long do you intend to keep playing around out there?"

"What do you mean 'playing around'? That's called building a career. And regarding the matter with Tianda Cinema, what do you think of my choice? Does that [demon subduing record] have the potential to be a huge hit? The box office has already reached 8 million, with nearly 5 million of that coming from our Tianda Cinema."

Chen Cong shrugged indifferently, then spoke somewhat seriously.

"I came back today to tell you to have Tianda Cinema increase the screenings for [demon subduing record] a bit more. I think it will definitely be a huge hit in the coming period."

"Sure. I've already had people below handle this matter."

Chen Tianlin said without any hesitation.

"Profiteer!"

Upon hearing his father's words, Chen Cong couldn't help but mutter.

A few days ago, in order to get [demon subduing record] screened during prime time at Tianda Cinema, this old man had initially opposed it strongly. If he hadn't used his final resort, he would never have agreed.

Of course, he had also teamed up with his mother.

But now? Before he even had a chance to ask, this old man had already arranged for people to do it.

This was nothing more than seeing the commercial value of [demon subduing record]. A profiteer, definitely a profiteer.

"Isn't that exactly what you needed?"

Chen Tianlin looked at Chen Cong with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"However, that Mingri Group is developing very quickly. It wouldn't be a bad thing for you to befriend them."

"I know that. Since there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Chen Cong felt a bit drained. He had thought that requesting more screenings today would require another strenuous effort, but he hadn't expected it to be so easy.

"Stay for dinner before you go. Your mother misses you."

Chen Tianlin ignored Chen Cong's words and spoke on his own, but his tone was very firm, leaving no Room for refusal.

Seeing this, Chen Cong hesitated for a moment and said calmly.

"Alright!"

… In the office of Shengbai Cinema, a middle-aged man looked at the several members inside the conference Room.

"You've all seen the box office records for [demon subduing record], right? Based on the film's box office growth trend, I judge that this film has a high probability of becoming a blockbuster. Therefore, I have decided to adjust the screenings for [demon subduing record] to prime time. Does anyone have any objections?"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his gaze wandered over the several members in the conference Room one by one.

After a while, seeing that no one objected, he continued.

"Since everyone has no objections, then the matter of the screenings for [demon subduing record] is settled."

At the same time, in cinemas all across the country, similar scenes were playing out in offices almost simultaneously.
