"Uncle Tang, please don't be polite. Just say what you want to say," Er Zhu said.
Seeing the gleam in Old Tang's eyes, Er Zhu knew what he wanted to say. He nodded slightly and helped him to a nearby chair.
"Actually, it's nothing much. I just want to cooperate with you. Although I have many antique shops, I feel they are not enough..."
Looking at his own antique shops on both sides of the road, a hint of helplessness and dissatisfaction flashed in Old Tang's eyes.
In fact, he wanted to buy all the shops on one side, but business had been difficult in recent years, and he hadn't found a suitable partner, which had caused the delay.
"Yes, of course. How many more shops do you plan to expand, Uncle Tang? I can provide the money to buy the shops, and you can provide the goods."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, thinking of the antiques in the Tang family's antique shops. He nodded without hesitation.
Although the Tang family's antique shops were not the largest in Liuzhen, they had a wide variety of antiques, and most of them were genuine. This way, he could not only cultivate himself but also earn money.
"Well... Mr. Wang, I want to buy this row of shops. What do you think?"
Old Tang rubbed his hands and looked at Er Zhu with a smile, extremely nervous.
There were dozens of shops, large and small, on that side, and the total cost was hundreds of millions!
He didn't know if Mr. Wang would agree to such a huge sum...
"A row is too few. Let's buy all the shops on both sides of the road. Uncle Tang, do you have that many antiques?"
Just as Old Tang was in trepidation, Er Zhu unexpectedly said something like this, and Old Tang was stunned on the spot.
It was then that he understood what it meant to be truly rich and powerful!
The shops on both sides combined were worth over a billion!
This sum of money could rival the net worth of a third-rate wealthy family, yet Er Zhu said it so easily!
It was as if it wasn't billions, but tens of thousands!
"Good, good, good, Mr. Wang, thank you. I have plenty of antiques, you don't have to worry about that at all!"
At this moment, Old Tang suddenly came to his senses. He nodded repeatedly, his eyes almost smiling away!
As expected of the richest man in the three cities, so domineering!
Even at the peak of the Tang family's prosperity, they couldn't achieve such a feat!
"Mr. Wang, as for the profit sharing, it will be seven for you and three for me. What do you think?"
Thinking of the billions in banknotes and Er Zhu's strong backing, Old Tang voluntarily gave up his interests, just to befriend Er Zhu and build a good relationship!
"Uncle Tang, you don't have to do that. Let's split it fifty-fifty. After all, I'm quite busy, and you'll still be managing the antique shops."
"Also, Uncle Tang, please don't be polite. Just call me Er Zhu, like you call Grandpa Miao."
Even without activating his Heavenly Eye, Er Zhu had already guessed Old Tang's intentions. He shook his head slightly and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the capital.
The capital was his ultimate destination!
"Okay, Er Zhu, thank you for agreeing to cooperate with Uncle Tang. Uncle Tang will not let you suffer!"
Old Tang was stunned. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said with red eyes and a full of gratitude, "I promise!"
He had been in the business world his whole life and had seen all the vicissitudes of human life, but in the end, it was a young man who saved him!
After chatting for a while longer, Er Zhu returned home. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw many villagers gathered at his doorstep.
"Tsk tsk, Er Zhu has money to burn and doesn't know what to buy. What's the use of buying these old things?"
"Alas, everyone says that people get carried away when they are rich. I thought Er Zhu wouldn't, but I didn't expect him to!"
"Alright, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Er Zhu has his reasons for buying these things."
...
As Er Zhu got out of the car, he heard the villagers discussing, and most of them were mocking.
"Yo, Er Zhu is back. Come and see, your good things have all been delivered!"
Seeing Er Zhu, Villager Wang Sanniang was about to mock him when she suddenly smiled and walked up to him. She especially emphasized the words "good things" loudly, as if she were deliberately saying them for others to hear.
The other villagers instantly looked at Er Zhu, most of them watching the spectacle with amusement.
"Er Zhu, you can't squander your money like this. Listen to Aunt Er and return these things quickly!"
"Yes, I heard that these old objects are easily haunted by demons and evil spirits. Hurry up and return them!"
"Alright, Er Zhu has money and can buy whatever he wants. Even if he buys junk, it's none of your business!"
...
Many villagers kindly advised Er Zhu to return the goods, but a small portion of them still enjoyed watching the show.
"Alright, don't argue. These are antiques. I plan to open an antique shop, so I bought some goods."
Seeing that the villagers on both sides were about to argue, Er Zhu casually made up a reason to fool them.
"Antiques? I've heard of them. They are very expensive. They are things for rich people!"
"Antiques? What are they? Aren't they just old things from the past? Can they be sold for money?"
"Er Zhu, you can't fool us. We are doing this for your own good."
...
As soon as he said this, it triggered various discussions among the villagers. It was obvious that the mocking voices had lessened a lot, replaced by more doubt.
"Well, it's a business that doesn't open for half a year but earns for half a year. Anyway, it's very profitable. Everyone, go back, don't watch here."
Er Zhu nodded slightly and could only simply introduce the antique industry. Hearing Er Zhu say this, although the villagers were half-understanding, they thought of Er Zhu's character and ability, and they returned home one after another.
Those who wanted to watch the show were a bit disappointed, but seeing that most villagers didn't speak, they dared not speak either.
After all, they relied on Er Zhu to make money, and offending Er Zhu would bring them no benefit!
"Mr. Wang, I've explained it to them, but they didn't understand, and that's how it turned out," the truck driver said aggrievedly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
This big boss was a distinguished guest of the boss. If he offended him, his job would be gone!
His family of four depended on him to earn a living. He definitely couldn't be fired!
"Well, I know. Thank you, brother. You can go back now."
Seeing the driver's eyes red with fear, Er Zhu patted his shoulder and pointed towards the door.
He was not someone who liked to make enemies, let alone with such common people?
Besides, if such trivial matters could be considered an offense, he would have nothing else to do but take revenge.
"Okay, boss, you are a good person, and you will surely get rich!"
Hearing Er Zhu say this, the driver was relieved and repeatedly thanked him with clasped hands before leaving Shiliu Village as quickly as possible.
