382: Chapter 376: Splitting the Money 382: Chapter 376: Splitting the Money 100 million Xiangjiang dollars had already reached Chen Hai’s account.
Since the money had arrived, he naturally wouldn’t stay at Wang Dehui’s mansion any longer.
Before three in the afternoon, he had already returned to the Regent Hotel.
The first thing he did was call his men to gather in his room.
“Boss, that money…” Bir Xiaohang started, his eyes burning with intensity as he broached the subject.
Chen Hai’s visit to Wang Dehui was well known to them.
Had the payment they agreed upon with Gong Ruixin arrived?
Now that Chen Hai was back, Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian were naturally eager to hear a definite answer from him.
“They, as a couple, are quite reliable!”
“After I went to their place and chatted with them for a bit, I brought up the matter of the payment.”
“Wang Dehui only hesitated slightly before he called the bank immediately to transfer the money into my account!”
Chen Hai nodded and responded with a smile.
With such a large sum in his account, even he was in a very good mood, his face wearing a few genuine smiles.
“This is 100 million Xiangjiang dollars, we’re rich, we’ve really struck it rich!”
“The millionaires here in Xiangjiang are truly extravagant.
When they say 100 million, it means 100 million; the transfer was so clean and decisive.”
“No wonder there are always fierce criminals around here; the money is just too easy to make!”
…
Having confirmed the arrival of the money from the boss, Chen Hai, all his subordinates were beyond excited.
Especially Bai Xiaohang, who was continuously exclaiming and genuinely started hopping around with excitement.
Seeing his manner, had he not been following Chen Hai and now wanted to be a good man, he might have been tempted and hesitated to commit a few crimes.
It took several minutes before everyone’s stirred emotions began to settle.
“Boss, how should we distribute this money?”
After exchanging looks for a while, Tian Mingjian finally raised the question.
“What do you guys think would be a fair distribution of this money?” Instead of answering directly, Chen Hai threw the question back at them.
After getting the money from Wang Dehui and Gong Yuxin’s mansion and returning to the hotel, he had immediately gathered his men, intending to discuss how to distribute the money.
Last time, when he took Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang to Hao River, the eight million they acquired was split among them, with each getting over two million.
This time, however, the job had landed them a whopping 100 million.
With such a large amount to distribute, the money each subordinate would receive couldn’t possibly be less than last time.
After all, for this big deal, the crooks who died at the hands of Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang numbered in the twenties to thirties.
While thinking this, Chen Hai felt it was more appropriate to ask his men’s opinions before making a final decision on the distribution.
“It’s thanks to the boss’s capability that we landed this deal!”
“Without the detailed information he provided us, it wouldn’t have been so easy to deal with those kidnappers.”
“To put it bluntly, even without us, just by finding a few others to help, the boss could have easily handled the situation.”
“Having the chance to come to Xiangjiang to make a fortune is our luck, it’s the boss giving us benefits!”
“The boss should take the larger share of this money, don’t you guys think?”
After whispering among themselves for a while, Tian Mingjian was the first to speak up, suggesting.
“Brother Jian, if the boss takes the larger share, who are we to object!”
“Without the boss stepping in, when that guy Wang was kidnapped on the fishing boat, we almost capsized.”
“We may have done quite a few jobs, but actually, what we do is just the trivial parts.”
“The really tough tasks, the boss has already smoothed them out for us ahead of time!”
Scratching the back of his head, Bai Xiaohang chuckled in agreement.
“Without the boss, I’d still be in prison right now!”
“Back in our hometown, things have only improved a bit in the last two years.
A few years ago, being a millionaire was very rare.”
“If I had a hundred thousand or eighty thousand in my pocket and went back to my hometown, I might just become the richest in the village!”
Smiling naively, Uncle Baoshan continued.
He was someone truly grateful.
If he hadn’t met Chen Hai, even after being released from prison, he could only go back to farming in his village without knowing what he could do to survive!
When life is tough and even basic food and clothing are hard to guarantee.
He might’ve impulsively stepped onto a path of no return, doing something that would outrage heaven and earth.
Like now, his children were already living without worries about food and clothing.
They were not only studying in Capital City, but they had also secured Capital City residency!
He was very aware that his current happiness was all brought to him by his boss, Chen Hai.
Though this one hundred million Xiangjiang currency was not a small amount, did it matter if he got a little more or less?
Bai Baoshan truly didn’t care that much…
“Don’t look at me, I know exactly where I stand,” he declared.
“To put it unpleasantly, I’m just a nobody, just messing around behind everyone else!”
“This trip to Xiangjiang, the boss didn’t abandon me back in Capital City, and I’m already satisfied.”
“As for the money, however it’s distributed, I have no opinions!”
In the end, Xiang Dong, with a clear self-awareness, shrugged his shoulders and grinned, stating his position.
“Boss, this sum of money, you definitely should take the larger share.”
“Exactly how it should be distributed, that’s for you to arrange.”
“The fact that you’re willing to bring us to Xiangjiang to make a fortune is already a privilege you’ve extended to us.”
“With your nature, Boss, you definitely won’t treat us poorly.
No matter how you distribute it, we have no opinions, right everyone?”
With a chuckle, Tian Mingjian continued.
Once he started speaking, he immediately garnered everyone’s agreement.
To speak of it, coming to Xiangjiang this time, even if Chen Hai hadn’t yet distributed any money, the few of them had already made quite substantial gains.
Like a couple of days ago, Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang made a million.
Xiang Dong and Bai Baoshan hadn’t done anything; they just drank and chatted in the hotel and watched TV for a bit, yet each of them ended up with one hundred thousand Xiangjiang currency.
Soon stepping into 1995, although being a millionaire was no longer rare, one hundred or eighty thousand was still considerable money.
For them, this trip to Xiangjiang was already worth it.
“Just the advertising fees for Peach Blossom Wine Industry will require thirty million!”
“The resort being built in Capital City is on hold because of a lack of funds.”
“There are many places where I, your boss, need money.
Out of this hundred million Xiangjiang currency, I will take eighty million, and the remaining twenty million will be divided among you.”
“What do you think about this proposal?”
Frowning and after a brief silence, Chen Hai tentatively spoke.
“No objections, definitely no objections.
Twenty million, divided equally, each of us could get five million!”
“Five million Xiangjiang currency, converted to Yanhuang currency, is almost six million.”
“This much money, I don’t even know how to spend it!”
“Uncle Baoshan, Dong, I’ve talked to you two about buying a yacht, how about we chip in and get one for some fun?” Bai Xiaohang was the first to speak up, nodding repeatedly with a beaming face.
He seemed unable to forget about the yacht, and once he heard they could get five million, he tentatively spoke up again, enticing Xiang Dong and Bai Baoshan.
“I’d rather follow the boss’s example, buying more courtyards to stock up!”
“If you guys really buy a yacht, I’ll definitely come over to hang out when I have time,” Tian Mingjian chuckled.
Thinking back, just a few hundred or thousand used to be a lot of money for him.
Ever since he had followed their boss, he was now getting hundreds of thousands at a time; such a life was something he never dared to imagine before.
“Brother Jian, that’s not very generous of you.
If we do buy a yacht, don’t think about getting on board if you’re not investing!” Bai Xiaohang gave Tian Mingjian a side-eye and jokingly scolded.
Of course, this was all in jest.
To be honest, he wasn’t even clear about how much a yacht cost, but he thought, with several million, buying a small yacht should be enough!
“Once we get the money, we’re definitely buying houses and courtyards.”
“Xiaohang, if you buy a yacht, we’ll definitely support you in spirit!”
Bai Baoshan and Xiang Dong both couldn’t stop grinning, joking along with Bai Xiaohang.
Not many people would complain about having too much money.
Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian were still somewhat better off, as they had already made a fortune with Chen Hai in Hao River before.
Bai Baoshan and Xiang Dong, however, were following Chen Hai for the first time.
Thinking that they could each get several million, they both felt like they were dreaming, their mouths gaping open unceasingly.
They were all aware of how formidable their own boss was, and such skills were something they couldn’t even hope to learn.
As for Chen Hai taking eighty million, they all found it natural and definitely had no objections.
