Chapter 403 What does it have to do with him?
"Master, I'm not in a good mood. Shall we go to a brothel?"
Seeing that Chen Changan was not in high spirits, Lao Ma smiled and suggested.
"I'm not in the mood to visit a brothel, let's go to Haidilao and have a hotpot."
Chen Changan sighed, shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, let's go!"
Lao Ma drove the carriage and came to Haidilao with Chen Changan.
Haidilao was packed today like every day, and Xiaoxiang Theater was broadcasting new content, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
The supreme master of the martial arts world, the sword that slays dragons. He commands the world, and no one dares to disobey.
When this voice was heard, countless audiences were moved, and they followed Zhang Wuji's footsteps stupidly, growing up little by little.
Chen Changan had just sat down at Sister Hong's invitation when the door of his box was pushed open.
The man approached slowly with heavy steps. He had a face full of untidy beard. The beard was of different lengths and grew in a disorderly manner, as if it had not been groomed for a long time. There were also some silver threads mixed in it.
His eyes were cold and deep, revealing a sense of fatigue that came from experiencing many vicissitudes of life.
"Chang'an, talk to me." The man sat opposite Chen Chang'an.
Chen Changan was obviously a little surprised when he saw the man's face: "My Lord, what happened? How did he become like this?"
The man who came was none other than Chen Zhan, King of Huainan, who reeked of alcohol.
Chen Zhan didn't wait for Chen Changan's permission and put a piece of beef in his mouth: "I deserve it."
"Oh?"
“The Chu family has taken away my military power through various power struggles. Only the token I gave you is useful.”
Chen Zhan ate heartily and laughed, "Now I finally believe that from the beginning to the end, Chu Yanran has never really been with me. She only has Chen Fusheng in her eyes!"
"Chang'an, I beg you to join the Zhennan Army and fight against Chen Fusheng!"
Chen Changan suddenly burst into laughter. He finally found something that made him happy.
"Why should I join the Zhennan Army?"
"Why should I?"
"Because you are my son!" Chen Zhan roared.
"That's just your wishful thinking. What were you thinking when you signed the separation agreement?"
Chen Changan said disdainfully: "Chen Zhan, didn't I express my intention to join the Zhennan Army two years ago? Who told me to wait until I pass the exam and become the top scorer?"
"Now, the emperor values me, I am rich, and I have young men in the war department. Do you think I will still take your Zhennan Army seriously?"
Chen Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Chang'an, you should know that the number of reckless young men is only 3,000 after all. They can't resist the hundreds of thousands of Zhennan Army!"
"I can't resist, but I can run."
Chen Changan was in a good mood, raised his eyebrows and said: "I will watch Chen Fusheng kill you, this is your destiny."
"As for the other sisters... Chen Hongluo is still with me, but the likes of Chen Qingwan and Chen Qiuyue should have died miserably. They were wasting air when they were alive, and they polluted the land when they died!"
"Chang'an, how did you become like this? Those are your sisters!" Chen Zhan roared.
"How did I become like this? Don't you know?" Chen Changan laughed.
"You were only forced by Chu Yanran. What about me? You, Chu Yanran, Chen Hongluo, Chen Bijun... who hasn't forced me?"
"Jin, I might as well make it clear today. I am in the Huainan Palace and someone wants to poison me!"
"They wish I were dead!"
Chen Zhan's face changed drastically and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Impossible, no one dares to harm you!"
"What's impossible? In your current situation, do I need to lie to you?"
Chen Changan sneered and said, "Instead of wasting time talking to me, you should think about how to control Chen Fusheng's development. With the support of the Chu family, it may be difficult to curb his rise."
"Cutting off his source of income is the right thing to do."
Chen Zhan looked at Chen Changan with suppressed emotion, wanting to say something but uttering nothing.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door and Chen Changan let the person in.
Sister Hong walked in with a thick account book and said, "Master Chen, this is the revenue you asked for... Eh? Do you have any guests? I will report to you later?"
"No need, this is a dead man, you can report anything to me."
Sister Hong shook her head. She naturally knew King Huainan.
But since Chen Changan had already said so, Sister Hong could only report to him truthfully.
"Let's talk about Haidilao first."
"Since we opened, we have been packed with people every day. People here seem to have a special liking for hot pot and will wait no matter how late it is."
"It has been more than half a year since the opening, and the net profit is about 10 million taels of silver."
This was the first time Chen Zhan heard about Chen Changan’s profits, and he was stunned.
You know, the emperor was furious when four million taels of tax silver disappeared in Qingzhou, let alone ten million taels of silver?
It can be said that the profit in these three months is equivalent to the output value of the entire city of Qingzhou!
"Hand over 30% to the royal family, and the remaining 70%..."
Chen Changan thought about it and said, "Give it to Zhou Qiankun and Li Zhaoyao, and let them develop Haidilao in Goguryeo."
Sister Hong was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and shook her head: "I thought they were going to increase production and continue to open branches across the country."
"There is also silver, just give it to them."
"Too."
Sister Hong chuckled and said, "There is also Xiaoxiang Theater, which has been open for more than three months, but due to the limitation of the venue, the profit is only a few million."
"Miss Liu has been discussing with me recently whether we can expand the scale."
"No, if there are too many people, there will be many problems. We will need constables to maintain order, which will increase our investment."
Chen Changan shook his head and refused: "Did Liu Ruge accept the commercial performance?"
Sister Hong was stunned: "What, what is a commercial performance?"
Chen Changan shook his head and said, "Commercial performances are commercial performances."
"After Liu Ruge becomes famous, she will definitely have a lot of fans. The price of a commercial performance will be at least 300,000 yuan."
"And all other actors who participate in the show can accept endorsements. The minimum endorsement fee cannot be less than five million silver dollars. First come, first served."
"Five, five million?" Sister Hong thought this was impossible.
"What? You don't believe me?" Chen Changan smiled.
Sister Hong quickly shook her head: "Master Chen, please stop scaring me. Didn't I not believe you when we were in Jiangdu? But what happened to you later?"
"The actual operation of public transportation has slapped us in the face!"
"Okay, I'll go inform the actors right away."
Sister Hong left after she finished speaking, and Chen Zhan closed his eyes in the box.
Chen Changan, whom he originally thought was a useless person, had spent nearly 20 million silver coins while talking and came up with such a good idea.
Let me ask you, even if Chen Changan and Chen Fusheng switched places, could he do it?
Chen Zhan regrets so much!
Why couldn’t we pay more attention to Chen Changan back then?
"Changan, father..."
"Wait, King Huainan, there seems to be something wrong with your address, right?"
Chen Changan took out the token and placed it on the table for Chen Zhan: "You and I no longer have any relationship. Take this token back. I don't want to get involved in your affairs at all."
"Changan, father, please, can you please talk to me properly?"
Chen Zhan's eyes were red: "I treated you like that back then. Yes, I admit it was my fault, but it was all your mother's fault..."
"She's not my mother!"
"It's all Chu Yanran who protected Chen Fusheng and your sisters!"
"Gossip can melt gold, and constant criticism can destroy a person. What can I do?" Chen Zhan said angrily, "Chang'an, you are already so old, can you understand me?"
"You fart!"
Chen Changan immediately retorted: "You still think I understand you, if I were dead, would you say that?"
"You only regret it because you see that I'm successful now. You value my achievements, not your own flesh and blood!"
"Chen Zhan, I've seen through your whole family a long time ago, get out!"
"Chang'an!"
"You're not going to leave, right?" Chen Changan didn't waste any words with Chen Zhan, "Old Ma!"
"Young Master." Old Ma stood up decisively.
"Please go to the Baidi government office and tell them that a drunk is causing trouble and forcibly breaking into my box. Ask the Baidi prefect to come and take a look and deal with it seriously!"
Lao Ma was a little confused. Why would such a thing alarm the Baidi government?
He can totally handle it.
Seeing that Chen Changan was really angry, Chen Zhan did not dare to say anything more to Chen Changan: "Changan, don't chase me away, I will leave by myself."
"I came here to tell you that the Chu family is very powerful, so be careful!"
"Also, if possible, let your sister go, okay?"
Chen Zhan was naturally talking about Chen Qingwan, and Chen Changan just smiled coldly.
Chen Qingwan brought her own death upon herself, what does it have to do with him?
