Chapter 284: Choosing a Location for the Club
The bar was smashed again.
And it was the bar that was registered under his own name.
This was already the second time the bar had been smashed this month.
If it wasn't intentionally targeting him, Zhao Longqi himself didn't believe it.
He first suspected Chen Fan, because Chen Fan had the motive to do so.
But his subordinates told him that the ones who smashed the bar were a group of half-grown kids, and they might even be underage.
Hearing this, Zhao Longqi was puzzled again.
Could he have guessed wrong?
Anyway, no matter who it was, daring to ride on his head was simply tired of living.
Zhao Longqi directly issued an underworld order of pursuit, ordering all the gang leaders to take action, and they must capture those culprits in the shortest time possible.
A bar called Glorious Years opened in the city, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.
During the day, there was not much business in the bar, except for the waitresses, and only a few young men were playing cards in the upstairs lounge.
Tian Ji was puffing on a cigarette while standing on the balcony with Guo Shuai.
"The money has been sent to them, and I've told them that they must stay out for at least half a year before coming back."
Guo Shuai nodded and looked at Tian Ji curiously.
"Do you know a lot of kids like that?"
Tian Ji grinned: "I grew up in the shantytown since I was a kid, I know too many kids like that."
"They don't have money to go to school, or they just don't love studying, so they dropped out of school early and roamed the streets, and they don't have any skills, so they can only make a living by drifting around."
Guo Shuai nodded: "Then find a few more people, and we'll continue next week."
Tian Ji was taken aback: "You still want to go and smash Zhao's shops?"
"Brother, let me say this, I don't think what we're doing is useful. At most, it just annoys them."
"The Zhao family is not an ordinary family, they're involved in both legal and illegal businesses. If they find out that it's us causing trouble, we'll be in big trouble."
Guo Shuai was expressionless: "I just want to annoy them."
"My strength is very small now, so I can only use this method to annoy them. But when I have enough strength one day, I will definitely uproot the Zhao family's power bit by bit."
After saying this, Guo Shuai reminded him again: "When you find people, add an extra layer of insurance, get a few middlemen, so that even if something happens, it can't be traced back to us."
Tian Ji nodded, "I understand."
Seeing Tian Ji making a phone call beside him, Guo Shuai looked downstairs, thinking in his mind whether he should find an opportunity to deal a severe blow to Zhao Longqi, who kept causing trouble for Chen Fan.
In his view, Chen Fan is now a businessman, and there are some things he can't do, so he himself needs to help him handle this matter.
Guo Shuai was very clear about his position, which was to become Chen Fan's right-hand man, or even a hidden dagger.
This was the reason why he chose to walk this path.
......
Because of the demolition of the Star Sky Internet Cafe, Ding Dian kept nagging Chen Fan all day today.
In Ding Dian's words, she had never seen anyone who could step on dog poop twice in a row.
This could only prove that Chen Fan had great luck, and this was definitely a huge advantage in business.
Ding Dian felt very admiring and calculated an account for Chen Fan.
After the demolition of the Star Sky Internet Cafe, with the building demolition compensation and business compensation, Chen Fan could get at least 30 to 40 million yuan.
With this money, Chen Fan could open several internet cafes of the same scale in any part of Yunhai City.
When she first met Chen Fan, this guy was still an entrepreneur who had to discuss conditions with her to save on decoration costs and calculate every penny.
But in just one year, Chen Fan's wealth had experienced explosive growth.
This speed was absolutely one in a million even if you looked across the entire country.
Especially those employees who followed Chen Fan, it wasn't until today that they suddenly realized that this young man who always wore cheap jeans and t-shirts was already a billionaire.
Chen Fan didn't care about what others thought. Today's meeting was mainly to discuss the location for the club.
During these days, Ding Dian had conducted investigations and selected a total of four locations.
Since Chen Fan had clearly stated before that he would not consider building the club on the two plots of land he had exchanged, the four locations Ding Dian picked were all within the Yunhai District.
Two were near the city center, and two were in the suburbs.
At the meeting, Chen Fan first rejected the two locations in the city center.
In his opinion, the locations in the city center were precious, and the area was too small, which was not conducive to the future development of the club.
The remaining two plots of land were in the suburbs, one in the east and one in the west.
The location in the east was quite interesting because it used to be a vocational school, but after the school was merged, this old campus became vacant.
Ding Dian did her job seriously, not only providing detailed blueprints but also taking photos on-site.
Chen Fan stared at the photos for a long time, seemingly showing great interest.
"Where is this place?"
"In the development zone, about twenty minutes' drive from the city center."
Chen Fan nodded, "This place is not bad. I need to go and take a look on-site when I have time."
Ding Dian couldn't help but ask, "Why wait? Let's go today."
"No, I have something to do today."
Chen Fan stood up with a smile and instructed Ding Dian, "You can try to contact them first and probe their asking price."
Ding Dian felt a bit helpless, "I feel like you're even busier than before after the club closed."
Chen Fan just smiled without explaining and said, "I'm leaving it to you."
After leaving the studio, Chen Fan took a taxi directly to the university town.
He didn't go to the school or the First Encounter Internet Cafe in the university town. Instead, Chen Fan waited for more than half an hour at a cafe nearby.
Finally, at 5:30 in the afternoon, the person he was supposed to meet arrived.
A tall, middle-aged man.
As soon as this person entered the cafe, Chen Fan knew this was the person he was supposed to meet.
He quickly stood up and waved, and when the other party saw Chen Fan, he strode over.
It wasn't until he came up close that Chen Fan noticed this person was really tall, at least 1.9 meters in height. He was big and strong, and when he walked up, he looked like a wall.
"Officer Pang?" Chen Fan greeted him with a smile.
"You're the one who made an appointment with me?" The middle-aged man frowned, seemingly not expecting the person who made an appointment with him to be so young.
"Yes, it's me. I'm Chen Fan." Chen Fan smiled and extended his right hand.
However, the other party didn't shake hands but simply pulled over a chair and sat down casually opposite him.
"What's your relationship with Fang Ling?"
Pang Longhai went straight to the point and stared at Chen Fan as soon as he sat down.
"College classmate," Chen Fan answered without hesitation.
This answer surprised Pang Longhai. Before coming, he had considered various possibilities, but he didn't expect this answer.
"Are you close with her?"
Chen Fan smiled and replied, "We're not in the same department. She's my senior."
After staring at Chen Fan for a couple of seconds and confirming that he wasn't lying, Pang Longhai's expression relaxed a bit.
"So, she gave you my name card, meaning you want to see me?"
"Tell me, what trouble have you run into?"
At this point, Pang Longhai added a sentence while looking at Chen Fan.
"Let me say this upfront, even though you know Fang Ling, I'm not the kind of person who helps with just any request, you know what I mean, right?"
