C117 It's not as simple as you think it is

Towards Xu Yongwei's clear mockery, the mild-mannered Yan Tong was unavoidably a little angry.

However, Zhou Hao merely smiled and said, "Actually, a fast food restaurant is not as simple as you think."

Based on the current situation, just a single branch of the Mrs Zhou Restaurant would have a profit of 1.5 million to 2 million per year, and the profits of "Romance Room" wouldn't be too far off.

Especially since Zhou Hao had Yan Tong and Lu Shiping push out cakes with various festivals as the main theme, it was extremely popular.

As for Zhou Lichang, who managed the hardware construction materials, he could only earn two million a year, which could only be compared to a branch in Mrs Zhou's Restaurant.

However, Zhou Lichang and his wife did not pay much attention, how could they have known that the Mrs Zhou restaurant had already monopolized the Xiang City's fast food market?

Therefore, Xu Yongwei only thought that Zhou Hao was just trying to sound stubborn.

She smiled and said, "Of course it's not simple. I have to go to the market again to bargain with those people who buy chickens and ducks, and I also have to worry from time to time about the landlord to increase the rent. The business of making fast food is truly not simple."

"We don't need to pay rent, we just bought the store." Zhou Hao smiled slightly.

The Mrs Zhou Restaurant and all the branches of the "Romance Room" had been bought directly.

This was because Zhou Hao knew that the value of those locations would increase greatly with the development of Xiang City. Moreover, this way, it wouldn't be so troublesome to submit rent every year.

"Oh, it's quite impressive. What's your 'wife'?

A month should be enough to earn a few thousand dollars. It's much better than when you helped people clean up the dishes in the past. " Xu Yongwei mocked in disdain.

"It's the Mrs Zhou Restaurant." Zhou Hao smiled as he corrected her.

Xu Yongwei wanted to continue but a man sitting on the sofa beside him exclaimed out loud.

"What?" Mrs Zhou Restaurant? Mrs Zhou Restaurant is open by you guys? " This person was a friend of Zhou Lichang's in business.

Zhou Lichang and Xu Yongwei looked at him suspiciously, and Zhou Lichang said: "Brother Chai, do you know that shop?"

"Of course I know." The person that Zhou Lichang called Brother Chai stood up from the sofa.

At this moment, he saw Zhou Hao's face and his expression immediately changed, "You, you are Zhou … Mr Zhou? "

This made Zhou Hao curious, he asked Brother Chai: "You know me?"

"Hehe, Mr Zhou, have you forgotten about me?

Boss Huo and I had dinner with you before, but for a small figure like me, I think Mr Zhou does not have much of an impression of me. " Brother Chai said with a humble smile.

"Boss Huo?" Zhou Hao was startled, but quickly understood, "Oh, it's that Huo Liang guy."

Huo Liang was the owner of the hardware store that Zhou Hao encountered when he opened the first restaurant. At that time, the two of them had even fought over an old grudge.

However, after knowing that Zhou Hao had a close relationship with the Chief of Public Security, Situ Li, Huo Liang immediately gave in. Not only did he give the shop to Zhou Hao for free, he even gave him an additional hundred thousand yuan as compensation.

Huo Liang, who was under the command of that street, openly and secretly looked after the Mrs Zhou's dining hall, preventing the little hoodlums from causing trouble inside.

Later on, when Huo Liang found out that even Xiang City's underling, Wen Xiangdong, was smiling and greeting Zhou Hao, he became even more respectful towards Zhou Hao.

In order to thank him for taking care of Mrs Zhou's dining hall, Zhou Hao had invited him over to eat a few times, causing Huo Liang to feel extremely flattered.

And this Brother Chai was one of Huo Liang's underlings, one of his underlings.

When Zhou Lichang heard Zhou Hao's words, he was also shocked, "Xiao Hao, you know Boss Huo?"

As Huo Liang had a wide reputation in the Xiang City, and built his family by managing hardware, Zhou Lichang had a lot of business dealings with him.

Furthermore, because of Huo Liang's underworld background, Zhou Lichang was also quite respectful towards him.

Now that he heard Zhou Hao address Huo Liang as "that guy", Zhou Lichang was greatly shocked.

At this time, Brother Chai said: "Aiya, I really did not expect that Mr Zhou was actually your nephew.

You don't know, the Mrs Zhou Restaurant has eight stores in our Xiang City, and every store has very good business.

In total, he probably earned tens of millions a year. Also, the Mr Zhou is good friends with our Boss Huo. Our Boss often says that a young hero will appear in the Mr Zhou. "

Hearing Brother Chai's words, Zhou Lichang and Xu Yongwei both stared widely. They never thought that the fast food restaurants that they thought only earned a few thousand every month could earn tens of millions every year.

But what surprised them the most was that Zhou Hao seemed to have a deep relationship with Huo Liang.

"Oh yeah, where's that Huo Liang? I haven't seen him for a while." Zhou Hao asked Brother Chai.

"Oh oh, our boss went to visit Master Dong today.

Oh right, Mr Zhou, when we saw Master Dong, he was talking to our boss about you. He said that it had been a long time since you last went to the Movie City. " Brother Chai said with a smile.

The "Master Dong" he was referring to was none other than Wen Xiangdong.

Zhou Lichang naturally knew about "Master Dong" as well, but he didn't expect that Zhou Hao actually knew someone like Wen Xiangdong.

"He's just joking. How could he really want me to go to the City of Movements? He's not afraid of losing all his money to me." Zhou Hao laughed faintly.

Brother Firewood immediately responded: "Of course, of course. Right now, the people from the underworld all know that Mr Zhou has outstanding gambling skills, and our boss even said that you are our Xiang City's gambling god."

Yan Tong, who was at the side, said: "Xiao Hao, you want to bet money?"

Because Zhou Hao's father, Zhou Liren, was a gambler and had lost all the money the family had left, Yan Tong hated gambling very much.

"Don't worry, mom, I know what I'm doing. I'm not a real gambler." Zhou Hao smiled at Yan Tong.

"It's not good to gamble anyway." Yan Tong shook her head.

However, she also knew that her son was very independent, and he wasn't the type to gamble until his entire family went bankrupt. As for this, she was very at ease.

Zhou Lichang and Xu Yongwei were already completely stunned, Wen Xiangdong could not even win over people like him, but now it seems that Zhou Hao had quite a deep friendship with these "important figures".

"Xiao Hao, I'm feeling anxious so I want to go to the toilet." Yan Tong said.

Xu Yongwei saw that the opportunity was right, and immediately said: "The toilet is over there, let me take you there."

At the same time, Brother Chai also said to Zhou Hao: "Mr Zhou, let's play 'Mace the Great Earth' over there. Let's play together."

"Aren't you afraid of losing all your money to me?" Zhou Hao laughed.

"If it's the Mr Zhou, it would be worth it even if I lost it all." Brother Chai immediately said. Just push Zhou Hao into the gambling house.

She then turned to Zhou Lichang and whispered: "Old Zhou, you're in the wrong. Why haven't you told this brother about your great backer?"

"I... "I …" Zhou Lichang said: "Brother Chai, does Xiao Hao really know Boss Huo and Master Dong?"

"It's more than just knowing each other. Let me tell you, in reality, both our boss and Lord Dong are trying to please your nephew. We're just afraid that he won't give us face." Brother Chai said.

"Also, not only our boss, your nephew is very close with Chief Situ and Mayor Gao.

I also heard that when the Japanese came to our Xiang City, your nephew went with Mayor Gao and the others. Think about what kind of relationship he had with Mayor Gao and the others? "

Zhou Lichang was stunned when he heard it, he never expected that the people Zhou Hao knew were all important figures that he could not get close to.

"I say, you have a nephew like him, do you still need to do business here? Remember, when you get rich in the future, don't forget about me, your brother." Brother Chai said.

Zhou Lichang was frowning deeply. He clearly understood how his family used to treat his and his son.

If Zhou Hao didn't set some obstacles for his to step on, it would already be considered fortunate. But could she still rely on him to support his?

At this time, Brother Chai had already walked over to play cards with Zhou Hao.

Looking at Zhou Hao's back figure and Brother Firewood who was purposely trying to please him, Zhou Lichang clenched his teeth, walked over, and said to Zhou Hao and the others: "Add me, I'll come and play too."

Brother Chai said to another man at his table who was doing fruit wholesale: "Since we, the Mr Zhou are here.

Then let's play the larger game, three thousand yuan as the foundation, a thousand yuan for each card, how about it? "

"But I didn't bring that much cash." Zhou Hao said in a difficult manner.

Brother Chai hastily replied: "It's okay, we don't trust you, Mr Zhou. How about this, how much money do you need?"

Thus, the four of them began their gambling.

"The Three of Diamonds will go first." Brother Chai said.

"Here it comes, three four five six seven." The man who made the fruit wholesale smiled and showed the cards.

Zhou Lichang looked at the three J's in his hands, saw that Zhou Hao and Brother Chai were both looking at him, and said: "I didn't, I did."

Zhou Hao laughed, "I did not, either."

"Then I won't be polite." Brother Chai took out five cards. They were the same flowers as the red peach.

"Hehehe, this is my luck." The man who sold fruit smiled and put down another five cards. It was three five and a pair of six.

Zhou Lichang held back from releasing his three J's. As Zhou Hao's boss, he was afraid that if he revealed his cards, he would stop Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao laughed: This time, I will not let you go. As he spoke, he took out five cards.

Brother Firewood and the man selling the fruits all expressed their intentions to give up, but Zhou Lichang still held his three J s and said with a smile: "I don't have one either."

"Then you three ten won't have any left either, right?" Zhou Hao revealed another five cards.

Zhou Lichang and the other two shook their heads, then Zhou Hao smiled and revealed his two biggest '2', and a 'Plum Blossom 3'. He didn't have any cards left on him.

"Wow, Old Zhou, four times!" Brother Chai looked at the thirteen complete cards in Zhou Lichang's hands.

If he calculated it this way, Zhou Lichang would lose tens of thousands of yuan just for this game.

"It doesn't matter, since Xiao Hao is a member of my family, it's fine if he loses to my family." Zhou Lichang laughed.

Zhou Hao squinted, and looked at Zhou Lichang with a face full of smiles. With his super intuition, he naturally knew that Zhou Lichang had lost to him on purpose.
