When the car arrived in front of the courtyard, Xue Chen saw Erniu playing wildly in the courtyard. She held a water pipe for watering, held the water outlet, and used it as a water gun to spray the gray balls.

The gray ball was sprayed all over, and then it shook its body violently, and the water droplets were thrown all over the sky. When it was illuminated by the sun, it formed a beautiful rainbow. Erniu, who was splashed all over, also giggled happily.

The car stopped, and Erniu and Huiqiu rushed up at the same time. One hugged his waist, and the other put his front legs on his shoulders. They stuck out their tongues to lick him. He could only hide by shaking his head.

open.

Returning to his bedroom, Xue Chen took a quick shower, put on fresh clothes, stretched out, and lay on the bed comfortably, feeling so comfortable.

After dinner, he sat on the sofa in the living room and watched cartoons with Erniu.

Jiang Huilan, who had finished cleaning the kitchen, walked out and casually talked about some recent events in Haicheng City: "The city has not been peaceful recently. There have been several break-ins and thefts. I heard that two gold shops were lost.

Hundreds of thousands."

"Did you catch the thief?" Xue Chen held Hui Qiu's head with one hand and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"I don't know the specifics. It seems that he hasn't been caught. One of the parents in the kindergarten parent group is the manager of one of the gold stores. It's been a week since he mentioned this, and he hasn't been caught yet."

Xue Chen nodded indifferently, but he admired this thief a little. He was able to steal two gold stores in succession without being caught. He was quite capable.

He saw Erniu watching cartoons with her eyes wide open, and asked if she was on holiday.

"Well, I should be in the first grade of elementary school at the beginning of school."

"Have you contacted the school?"

"We've found it, Guanghua Primary School."

The two of them were chatting casually, and they didn't know when the cartoon had finished playing. When they watched Erniu again, they fell asleep on the sofa.

…

When Xue Chen came to the door of the store, he saw Wang Dongren at the door, and another person standing on the ladder, who seemed to be installing a camera on the door of the store.

He was a little strange. The store had already installed a camera. Why did he press it again? It was still broken and it was being repaired.

When he parked the car and got out of the car, Wang Dong turned around and saw him, and immediately let out an ouch: "I thought your boy was abducted by some beautiful woman and became her son-in-law. He has been out for so long before coming back."

Xue Chen looked up and saw that he was right, they were installing new cameras: "What are you doing? Installing so many cameras?"

"Hey, what do you think we can do, guard against thieves? You don't know, thieves are so rampant now, we have to guard against them." Wang Dong grinned, "You go in first, wait for the camera to be installed

, I’ll talk to you later.”

Xue Chen entered the store, and soon Wang Dong's voice of thanks came from downstairs.

"Thank you, Master Wang."

Then, the stairs creaked and people climbed up to the second floor. First, they poured a cup of herbal tea, drank it down, and then sat down.

"Didn't you ask me why I installed surveillance cameras? It's because there have been a lot of thefts recently. You may not believe it. Three gold stores were stolen, five supermarkets were stolen, and Cai Yuanming's antique store was stolen.

It was stolen, but fortunately all that was lost were the bargains displayed in the lobby. There were also clothing stores and delicatessens, let’s not mention them. I couldn’t even count them. There must be twenty small ones anyway.”

Xue Chen was drinking tea. When he heard what Wang Dong said, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it: "So many?" Yesterday, he heard Jiang Huilan talk about the theft, but it didn't seem to be that serious.

"Hey, what I said can still be false. This is what Officer Liu Qingshuang told me yesterday. She came to the store specially and told me to be careful about theft, so I installed a surveillance camera just to prevent theft.

I want those thieves to give up and stop trying to attack our store. Not to mention, Officer Liu is really interesting and came to remind me, Zizhen, you are so sincere." After saying this, he winked.

Xue Chen ignored his joke, but was a little interested in the theft. Twenty thefts occurred in a row, which was really unusual, and there were so many places where it was difficult to steal, such as golden classics and antique shops.

"No one has been caught yet?"

"Hey, what can I say if I've been caught? It's fair to say that this thief did have a few brushes. He stole from up to three houses in one night. The police all over the street are looking for people, especially those who have a history of stealing and have been released recently.

Those in jail are being investigated one by one, but I haven’t heard of anyone being arrested yet.”

"Even in order to avoid panic in the society, the police have concealed a lot, so many people only know that a few thefts have occurred recently, but do not know the specific number of thefts."

The more he heard Wang Dong say this, the more incredible Xue Chen felt: "The places where they were stolen were monitored, right? Have the suspects been photographed?"

"This... I don't know. I'm not a policeman. How could I possibly see the surveillance." Wang Dong scratched his head, "Hey, it doesn't matter anymore. Where have you been during this time? I thought you were being arrested."

He went to a remote mountain village and became a door-to-door son-in-law."

Xue Chen glanced at Wang Dong: "There is a lot of farm work in the mountains, and it is not easy to be a door-to-door son-in-law. You have to be fat and strong, so I think it is enough for you to become a door-to-door son-in-law."

Wang Dong chuckled: "It is said that beauties come out of Chaimen. If the girl from the mountains looks like a flower, I would really like to be your son-in-law. It's a pity that I already have a wife now, so I'd better wait."

In the next life."

Shaking his head, Xue Chen was completely defeated by Fatty Wang's shamelessness.

"By the way, I have something serious to tell you." Xue Chen thought about it in his mind.

Wang Dong looked over: "Business? What's the matter?"

"I have hired a professional manager to take charge of all the stores. He may come to Yunzhou Province in a few days to let you know."

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment and muttered the words "professional manager" in his mouth, seeming very confused.

"Professional managers are used to help with management, but why do you suddenly think of doing this? Are they useful? I think Yang'an and Sunan are both very good. There is no problem with the operators.

ah."

"The current situation is different from the past. In the past, there were only four stores, and we could just manage them casually. As long as there were no big problems, it would be fine. But now there are 11 stores, so we need to carry out comprehensive management."

He recounted what Qu Liancheng said, sharing resources, exchanging what we have, and working together to make progress.

Suddenly, Wang Dong raised his buttocks, stretched out his hand, and touched his forehead when he wasn't paying attention. After touching it, he touched himself again.

"You don't have a fever either, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"Damn!" Xue Chen was still wondering why Wang Dong suddenly reached out and touched his head. It turned out to be to see if he had a fever. "You just have a fever."

"You don't have a fever. Why don't you think of people as numbers? Come on, tell me again. Four is four and eleven is eleven. Don't get confused. There is a difference of seven in the middle."

Seeing Wang Dong reciting the tongue twister, Xue Chen was amused: "I know eleven minus four is seven, so you don't have to call me! That's right, I recently got seven antique stores."

Wang Dong still had a confused expression: "I got seven antique stores? What do you mean I got it? Bought it?"

"It's not a purchase, it's an exchange for other conditions. You don't need to know the details. Just know that there are now eleven stores and there will be a professional manager to manage them."

Seeing Xue Chen say this, Wang Dong pursed his lips thoughtfully and finally understood that he was not joking.

"Seven stores, so many?"

Wang Dong felt that the four stores now were already very impressive. It had only been less than two years, but now seven more stores suddenly appeared, and the number jumped directly to eleven stores. How could he not be surprised?

"Where are the seven stores? What's the situation? Could it be that they were about to close down, and then they were roped in by you as a junkyard and packed up to get them?"

Wang Dong himself knows how difficult it is to open an antique store that can make a good profit, because he was shocked by the hardships. Looking back now, he still cried bitterly when he first established this store. It was really dark.

What a day.

"I'm not a rag picker." Xue Chen was speechless. "The conditions of these seven stores are pretty good. The profits of two or three of them should be similar to here. The others are slightly worse, but they all have good profits.

"

"So, now it has become 11 excellent chain stores? That's not right. I talk about it on many forums every day, but I have never heard of this."

"That's because few people know about this matter. Moreover, the names of the seven stores will not be changed for the time being. Of course, they will not attract attention. You know Shengshi Antique Store."

"Nonsense, of course you know. We opened one here last year. The manager surnamed Mao is not a good person. Moreover, Shengshi Antique Store has more than twenty stores across the country. As long as you are a fan of antiques,

, who doesn’t know it?”

"The seven stores that I got are the stores of Shengshi Antique Store." Xue Chen took out the paper with the addresses of the seven stores and showed it to the wide-eyed Wang Dong.

"This..." Looking at the seven stores distributed in various cities, Wang Dong was stunned for a long time. These seven stores are all chain stores of Shengshi Antiques and are in operation. According to normal transactions, at least one store must sell

20 million, maybe 150 million for seven stores.

Moreover, this is still a conservative estimate. If you join a store like the one below, you won't be able to sell it easily for 20 million or 50 million. If you make a profit of 10 million a year, you can make 50 million in five years. Why sell it?
