"Qin Chuan, what exactly is going on?"
Seeing the extremely urgent situation, Ye Huai'an rushed directly in front of Qin Chuan, grabbed his arm, and asked in a low voice.
He knew very well the feelings Zhong Dongyao had for his sister. If they couldn't clear things up tonight, it would be completely hopeless in the future, and their friendship might even be damaged because of it.
"Brother Huai'an, I... I happened to be overheard by Sister Meiyun when I called you!"
Qin Chuan also noticed Zhong Dongyao's不对劲 (bù duì jìn - not right, unusual) expression; it was clear the situation had gotten out of hand. He quickly explained.
"She directly kidnapped me here and didn't let me communicate with you at all. Even this bathhouse was found by Sister Meiyun for us!"
Ye Huai'an: "..."
He had been wondering why Qin Chuan said he was looking for a high-end club and ended up finding a bathhouse. So it was all because of his sister.
"You, how could you be so careless!"
Ye Huai'an chided Qin Chuan, who felt very guilty. If this trivial matter ruined his relationship with Zhong Dongyao, it would be a complete loss.
From now on, he would have to be more careful when doing such things...
"Sister, you've clearly misunderstood!"
Ye Huai'an quickly signaled to Qin Chuan, then ran to Ye Meiyun and started to placate her.
"It's true that the three of us said we were coming out to have fun tonight, but it's definitely not what you're imagining!"
Ye Meiyun crossed her arms, her face a cold sneer, clearly with an attitude of 'you can say whatever you want, and if I believe your nonsense, I'll take your name.'
Seeing this, Qin Chuan quickly ran over to help explain: "Sister Yun, I've told you many times in the car that it's really not what you think tonight."
"This is all because Brother Yao helped us a lot today, and I wanted to properly thank him."
"Also, Brother Yao seemed very interested in real estate matters after meeting me today. The three of us agreed to discuss this while eating and drinking tonight!"
"Brother Yao, you tell her, don't you?"
Qin Chuan shouted at the still dazed Zhong Dongyao.
Zhong Dongyao finally came back to his senses and nodded vigorously: "Yes! Our main focus tonight is actually discussing how to do business together."
"After all, I heard from Huai'an that his current dealings in second-hand houses and land are all learned from Qin Chuan. So I've been thinking about contacting Qin Chuan to see if there's any suitable business for me, to make a little money!"
Zhong Dongyao's reaction was very sharp, and he quickly followed Qin Chuan's words.
This was indeed the truth; he genuinely had such intentions.
Ye Meiyun, whose expression had been cold, began to thaw as she heard this explanation.
"The three of you are really here to discuss business?"
"Of course! Otherwise, what could three grown men gather together for, if not for being gay!"
Ye Huai'an's words were shocking.
As expected, he received a slap on the back of his head. A blush rose on Ye Meiyun's cold face as she reprimanded him: "What are you saying!"
"You're not a child anymore, and instead of learning something good, you're picking up those rogue behaviors. Do you believe I'll report you to your parents when I get home!"
Ye Huai'an licked his face and smiled apologetically: "Good sister, please don't! I hate my parents' nagging the most!"
"Sister Yun, Brother Yao, how about this, we don't go to any high-end clubs tonight!"
Qin Chuan said: "When I came in just now, I noticed there's a very good roadside food stall nearby. Why don't the four of us go there for some barbecue and change of taste?"
"Eating in restaurants all day, I'm almost sick of the dishes!"
Zhong Dongyao nodded immediately upon hearing this: "I think this is a good idea, roadside stalls are great!"
"Then let's go quickly!"
Ye Huai'an was even more adept at handling the situation. He immediately pushed Ye Meiyun's shoulders with both hands, and the four of them walked out of the bathhouse together.
A few minutes later, the four found the roadside stall and chose a private room to sit in.
To show that they had no ill intentions tonight, within a few minutes of sitting down, the three of them, cooperating with each other, quickly steered the conversation to business.
Qin Chuan subtly asked Ye Huai'an if he could tell Zhong Dongyao about the proposal for Zhongguancun. Ye Huai'an thought about it and nodded.
Zhongguancun was a mixed bag, with all sorts of people. It would be very difficult for him alone to build an electronics market, and he was severely underfunded. He indeed needed a powerful partner, and Zhong Dongyao was a suitable candidate!
Soon, Qin Chuan recounted everything he had seen and heard in Zhongguancun. With more people present this time, he spoke in greater detail.
He even included a clear comparison of the current domestic technology market with that of foreign countries.
From small electronic components, it extended to various advanced electronic products, such as mobile phones, computers, smart homes, etc., and then to the vast prospects of the future internet and large-scale high-tech fields...
Qin Chuan's thinking was clear, and his speech was outstanding, thoroughly captivating Ye Meiyun, Ye Huai'an, and Zhong Dongyao.
"If we compare foreign technological achievements with domestic ones, then foreign countries are like adults today, while China's technological development is like a toddler just learning to walk!"
"Everything is just beginning, and the future development prospects are boundless!"
Qin Chuan said with great conviction.
"In terms of technology, we don't have much professional talent, and we don't understand it ourselves, so let's put it aside for now!"
"But this doesn't affect our ability to make money!"
As he said this, a powerful ambition suddenly erupted from Qin Chuan's eyes, a strong desire for money and fame.
"For any industry to develop, it must have a vast foundation, including technology and market."
"If we don't understand technology, we won't touch it, because it requires high professional knowledge. But we can use our abilities to get as much of the market into our own hands as possible."
"And Zhongguancun is currently the most suitable place for us to make a fortune,"
Qin Chuan's tone was very firm.
"I have already surveyed this place. Deep within the bustling area is a place with uneven terrain, dilapidated buildings, and frequent theft incidents, with very poor security."
"If we can build a dazzling, luxurious skyscraper amidst this decay, and attract many large enterprises and merchants, then the annual rent alone will make us roll in money!"
"I even think that the Beijing government will make great plans for this area in the future. By then, the value of land and buildings in Zhongguancun will soar even higher. Even if we choose to do nothing for the rest of our lives, we'll have more money than we can spend!"
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, the entire private room was filled only with heavy breathing.
Whether it was Ye Meiyun, Ye Huai'an, or Zhong Dongyao, they were all completely stunned by the scene Qin Chuan described, and their eyes were all shining brightly.
