Chapter 83

Qiu Xiaotian walked away full of depression.

I thought that when he threw out the olive branch of learning painting, as a girl, she would definitely agree to it without hesitation because of her admiration for his extraordinary artistic temperament.

But Zhao Li didn't.

So much so that the last ten minutes of that class were completely spent in an extremely embarrassing atmosphere.

extracurricular activities.

The blush on Zhao Liqiao's face did not fade, not because in front of the whole class, an art teacher who thought she was coquettish could not get off the stage; it was because it had been many years since she had received such attention because of her expertise and excellence in the subject.

"Should I promise him?" It was Wu Tao who asked this question.

Wu Tao answered without asking: "You don't hesitate to use your own dowry to come here, have you ever thought about what will happen in three years' time?"

"I haven't thought about it." Zhao Li simply shook her head.

Wu Tao couldn't help but be speechless, she's really an honest and beautiful girl. "Er, all right. Then I'll tell you the truth, and you don't mind."

Zhao Li nodded vigorously, her pretty face was more serious than ever before.

"Based on your current grades, if you want to be admitted to the second university in three years, you need to work very hard! But if you take the admission route of art specialties, the admission score of the college entrance examination can be 20 points lower than that of the same batch. This, for you, greatly increases hope."

"...More importantly, if you master the ability to draw manga, even if you don't get into university in the future, you can still support yourself with manga."

"Really?" Zhao Li raised her eyebrows lightly, showing strong interest.

"Of course, but the college entrance examination policy for art specialty students needs to be checked again. I don't know the details..."

Before Wu Tao finished speaking, she was interrupted by her: "That's not what I'm talking about, what I'm curious about is that painting can really support me?"

"Yes, I promise I can!"

Zhao Li tilted her head and nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you and learn to draw. But, is Teacher Qiu reliable? After all, he looks too..."

Wu Tao immediately understood what she meant, and said with a broken smile, "You mean he's not serious and reliable, right?"

Seeing her nodding, Wu Tao continued: "It's okay, he's just a bit coquettish. People who engage in art will have a little eccentricity. But you don't have to take the initiative to find him. Don't worry, based on what I know about him, he will come again Looking for you."

...

At noon the next day, Xu Jiawen and Chen Yongli came out of the first store in Dongmen Alley.

He was picking his teeth with his hands, and his expression was still full of meaning.

Chen Yongli said flatteringly: "Brother Wen, did I say this movie is amazing? The figure of the woman in it is just right..."

There was a tacit smirk on the faces of the two of them.

In this era, some unrated films from Hong Kong and Taiwan often flow into the small video halls in the Mainland where there are mixed fish and dragons. Judging by their appearance, it is estimated that this is what they saw just now.

At this moment, Xu Jiawen narrowed his eyes suddenly, watching Wu Tao coming out of the east gate, turning right and heading south, and entered a small shop after walking a few steps.

"I remember that no one in that store has closed down for a long time." Chen Yongli recalled.

"Go, go and have a look."

The two passed by the east gate and walked a few steps, only to find that not only the snack bar listed for transfer had closed down, but also the one next door to it.

And when Wu Tao walked in here majestically, Xu Jiawen's heart moved, could it be that he bought it?

"Brother Wen, are these two stores owned by his family? His family is very rich. It seems that the farmhouse has really made a lot of money." Chen Yongli said this with envy in his tone.

Xu Jiawen said disdainfully: "Even if the farmhouse makes money, what's the use of it? If you invest here, you're just waiting for nothing!"

"No way, Brother Wen, why are you so sure?"

"Think about it, since we were in the first year of high school, how many times have the owners of these two small shops changed?"

Chen Yongli tried hard to remember and said: "I can't remember exactly how many times, but there are at least five or six times."

"So, if you start a snack business here, you will lose one!"

"Brother Wen, what if his family doesn't plan to make snacks?" Chen Yongli asked eagerly.

Xu Jiawen knocked him on the head angrily, "Let's see then."

...

In the snack bar, all the dilapidated facilities were knocked out.

Wu Tao was lying on the table looking at the drawings with Wu Binghua, listening to him renovate the store according to the decoration style of McDonald's.

Just yesterday, Aunt Hua sold all the stores near the three high schools.

Beijiang Middle School has the largest area because it is a two-in-one school. The pavement on the first floor reaches more than 40 square meters, and the second floor plus the corridor is almost the same size.

The father and son were discussing, and Aunt Ma came out of the back kitchen with two meals.

"Master, eat your food while it's hot, I'll add more if it's not enough."

"Thank you, Aunt Ma." Wu Tao took it and thanked him quickly.

"Thank you!" Aunt Ma is Zhao Jinhuai's wife, and she is very enthusiastic.

Wu Binghua set up a construction team, and Zhao Jinhuai, as a big apprentice, was naturally qualified to join. So he gave up the farmhouse to watch diesel generator sets, and followed the construction team to earn a lot of money.

This time when going to the city for renovation, a group of people wanted to eat and drink, so Aunt Ma followed.

Wu Tao also knew about this, so he came over during the meal time to take advantage of the meal.

In the past few days, Aunt Hua has been running around doing various industrial and commercial and tax procedures, so she won't be able to take care of him for a while.

The father and son held a big bowl and started to eat.

While eating, Wu Binghua re-estimated the cost according to his son's request just now, and thought about it: "If you do it according to your idea, the decoration cost will be 20% more."

"It's okay, Dad, money is not a problem." Wu Tao said with a sigh.

"How much money can you earn from opening these three stores? According to me, it will take more than half a year to earn back just the decoration cost."

"Dad, you don't trust your son?"

"It's not that I don't believe you," said Wu Binghua, who is used to wind and rain, "In business, there are always losses and gains. There is also a lot of luck involved, and you can't make a lot of money every time, right? "

Well, that's not much to say.

Wu Tao had no choice but to wave his hand, and said nonchalantly: "You will know when the time comes. Besides, even if I lose money, this small amount of money won't hurt my 'muscles and bones'. Anyway, I have a lot of money now, so I can afford it!"

"Then tell me, how much money did you earn in Jinling's company?"

In fact, Wu Binghua wanted to ask this question last time.

Wu Tao raised his eyes to look at the roof, recalled for a while and said: "Three days ago, when Brother Fei and I reported, there was still about 8 million surplus funds on the company's books."

Wu Binghua choked on his throat immediately after taking a bite of food, and said hoarsely: "How much? 8 million?"

Wu Tao nodded. In the last two weeks, the company's sales have increased by 4 million. In addition to the original 10 million, excluding the preparation budget of the Zhonghai branch, the construction cost of the Yuankang water dispenser assembly plant, and the working capital of the entire Yuankang company, there are at least 800 million yuan. Ten thousand surplus capital.

After the Zhonghai Branch is up and running, Wu Tao believes that the money will soar at a faster rate.
