Chapter 99 My childhood friend, Chen Tieniu!!
At the banquet, everyone ate, drank, and had a great time.
After discussing it, Chen Le and Zhang Zihao decided to book tickets to return to Tianzhou first.
After hesitating for a while, Chu Yaoyang decided to stay and play for a few days.
Ye Jun reluctantly saw the two men he had just met off at the airport before returning home.
It was already late at night when I got off the plane.
Chen Le declined Hao Ge's kind invitation and chose to return home.
The first thing I did was call my wife to let her know I was safe.
"Honey, I'm back from Shanghai! I made a lot of money this time!"
Chen Le sat on the sofa pouring water, smiling as he spoke.
"Pah, who's your wife... We haven't remarried yet, don't flatter yourself."
On the other end of the phone, Su Xi blushed and scolded playfully.
Chen Le wasn't annoyed and continued to laugh, "Hehe, then I'll keep trying until you call me back, then we'll immediately remarry."
Su Xi snorted and fell silent.
After a while, she whispered, "Oh, and take care of yourself too. Mom asked me to remind you..."
Then, he gave me some advice to smoke and drink less.
Chen Le grinned, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
After all, it's not certain whether these words of advice came from her mother or from Su Xi herself.
Where is Xin Xin?
Chen Le asked.
Su Xi glanced at her daughter, who was having a great time, and whispered, "Xin Xin is still playing with Yue Yue. I need to go and put her to sleep. You should get some rest too."
“She’s gotten so used to staying in her hometown. Since I’m not too busy at work, I’m thinking of letting her stay with her grandparents for a while longer. What do you think?”
"Great, of course I support it."
Chen Le nodded quickly, deeply moved.
No wonder Mom and Dad both love Su Xi, their daughter-in-law.
There was nothing in the countryside, but the reason she didn't leave was because she was worried about not seeing Xin Xin again, which would leave the old couple feeling empty inside.
She truly cared about the elderly couple.
Thinking of this, Chen Le sighed softly. He must persuade his parents as soon as possible and bring them to Tianzhou.
I had mentioned this to the elderly couple before.
But my parents are quite stubborn; they always want to live in the countryside, saying things like "a leaf should return to its roots."
While this idea is simple, it is ultimately inconvenient for children to take care of their children.
Chen Le plans to buy the house first, then do some persuasion and use his granddaughter to lure the elderly couple, and he thinks that will solve the problem.
Su Xi listened to Chen Le's idea and expressed her support, saying she was willing to help persuade the two elders.
"Honey, you are so kind!"
"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"
"I'll have a big surprise for you when you come back!"
Chen Le lay on the bed with a grin on his face and said happily.
"No need... I'm not talking to you anymore."
Su Xi was extremely nervous and quickly hung up the phone.
Chen Le stared intently at his phone, gazing at his wife's call history, reluctant to put it down.
Such a good wife, how could I have treated her like that in my past life!
In this life, he doesn't want to have any regrets. He will make sure that she and his daughter become the happiest people in the world!
God has finally given me a chance.
If we miss this opportunity, what's the point of being worth trillions?
His gaze, fixed on the stars in the night sky, grew increasingly resolute.
……
By the next day,
Chen Le opened his eyes to the bright morning sun, which immediately put him in a good mood.
He stretched and went into the bathroom to wash up.
The phone was placed aside, playing the news.
Meanwhile, as he brushed his teeth, he pondered his next steps in making money.
Suddenly, a news broadcast made his eyes widen.
"Breaking news: River seafood prices have dropped continuously, but there are still no buyers."
"Domestic river seafood prices have plummeted, leading many restaurants to close down."
"Most farmers were unable to make ends meet and stopped raising livestock in mid-month."
"..."
Chen Le narrowed his eyes.
I could smell a business opportunity in this short news article!
Others may not know why river seafood prices have dropped but no one is buying it, but he does!
The reason is simple—consumption has upgraded!
Young people today are influenced by short videos and think that eating river delicacies is low-class.
Seafood is the top choice for the new generation!
Arctic surf clams, sweet shrimp, even king crabs and Australian lobsters...
These are the truly high-end ingredients!
Young people would rather skip three meals than miss a single meal of fresh seafood.
It is this unhealthy consumer mentality that has caused many farmers who raise river fish to lament their plight.
But when young people, especially couples on a date, who would order river fish?
They watched as batches of live river delicacies piled up, unable to be sold.
They can only sell to restaurants and eateries at low prices.
However, the older generation is thrifty and hardly eats these things, which has caused the shops to suffer. The river seafood market has become more difficult to circulate, and the lower the price, the fewer people buy.
On the contrary, seafood prices have soared, and domestic demand has fallen short of supply.
Take the price of swimming crabs as an example. What used to cost 70 yuan per catty has now risen to 150 yuan, more than doubling!
After washing up, Chen Le sighed inwardly, "These food vloggers have ruined everyone's spending habits!"
"However, that accident is about to begin."
"At that time, the seafood market will be severely impacted."
"At that time, the river fish market, which has been suppressed to the point of being unable to raise its head, will also rise again!"
Seize this opportunity while river fish farmers are abandoning the market!
Chen Le was confident that he would become the biggest river seafood king!
He wants to seize control of the entire Tianzhou river seafood market and even export it.
This is a business that guarantees profits.
Earn as much as you can within at least three years!
Thinking of this, Chen Le smiled.
A new plan slowly took shape in my mind.
Just as he was making his next plans, a sudden knock on the door rang out!
"Boom boom boom!"
"Who?"
Chen Le was slightly taken aback, walked out of the bathroom, and asked curiously.
"Lezi! It's me!"
"Have you eaten? I've brought you some food!"
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Erniu?"
Chen Le recognized the voice immediately, and was both surprised and delighted.
The person who came was none other than Chen Tieniu, a childhood friend from Chenjiagou!
However, Chen Le came here to attend university.
Chen Tieniu came to the city to work.
Tie Niu was born with a limp, and his limp was very obvious when he walked.
Because of his physical disability, he has always felt inferior.
After finishing high school, I stopped studying and came to Tianzhou to work hard. At first, I was a food delivery driver.
Having learned how to cook, he decided to open his own fast food restaurant, which allowed him to barely make a living.
When Chen Le was destitute, it was Chen Tieniu who cooked and delivered meals to him.
He knew that Erniu's small restaurant didn't make much money.
Every penny earned is hard-earned money.
In addition, there is a child in the family who needs to go to school.
Two elderly people need to be supported.
Erniu himself wasn't doing well either.
Yet they still managed to come visit me at this time...
Chen Le felt extremely distressed and quickly opened the door.
Outside the door stood a man covered in grease and with messy hair.
However, he had a simple and honest appearance.
He looks like a real man, with a bright white set of teeth.
If it's not Chen Tieniu, then who is it?
"Brother Erniu, come inside and have a seat, take a rest!"
Chen Le looked at the lunchbox in Tie Niu's hand and felt a warmth in his heart. He helped Tie Niu walk to the sofa.
"No, I'm dirty. I'll leave after I bring you the food."
Chen Tieniu shook his head.
