Chapter 191 will definitely sell well.

On Friday night, Chen Cheng took a trip to Wilderness.

Customized membership cards have been produced, a members-only area has been set up in the booths, Zhao Siyan has printed new business cards for public relations managers, and the store's member landline has been officially activated.

The store had a surplus of several hundred thousand yuan during the National Day holiday, and business continued to be good afterward. The store had sufficient funds in its accounts. Su Zishan had also spoken with Su Ziqiang and ordered a brand new Buick commercial vehicle from the dealer.

Chen Cheng thought the Buick GL8 was ugly as hell these days, but there were almost no decent business vehicles to choose from in China right now, so there wasn't much else to choose from.

The store took stock of its employees who could drive: waiters, DJs, lighting technicians, and bartenders—none of them had a driver's license.

However, the fourth brother and his two younger brothers all passed the exams.

The fourth brother and his two underlings had no problem with the designated driver and commercial vehicle pick-up and drop-off services, but Chen Cheng still wanted to select a few clever ones from the waiters to take them to get their driver's licenses.

So Chen Cheng spoke with Su Zishan and devised a benefit plan for learning to drive.

The selected young men can first pay for their own driving lessons. Currently, the Jeep class at the driving school costs only 700 yuan and the Santana class costs only 900 yuan, which is quite cheap. Chen Cheng plans to have them all enroll in the Santana class, and then reimburse them for the cost of learning to drive on a monthly basis for the next six months, which means an extra 150 yuan in their monthly salary.

Once they get their driver's licenses, they will occasionally take on driving duties, so their basic salary will increase by 150.

The main reason for doing this is to retain employees and prevent anyone from leaving after getting their driver's license. These days, you can't stop anyone from resigning unless you use money to keep them in check.

The three selected boys were overjoyed. The company was paying for their driving lessons, and they would even get a raise after completing the course. Who would refuse such a good deal?

Moreover, the difficulty of learning to drive now is not even one-tenth of what it will be twenty years from now, because the test is not yet electronic. If you are just about right, you can pass with a wave of your hand.

Chen Cheng heard from Lao Si that the reversing and parking maneuvers in the test were even done with bamboo poles. As long as you didn't break the bamboo poles, you could basically pass.

Once you go to the driving school, they will arrange two days of theory classes and first aid classes. After that, you can take the written test for Subject 1.

After passing the written test (Theory Test 1), you can start practicing driving. Once you've mastered reversing, parallel parking, and hill starts, you can schedule your final road test.

In Lao Si's words, the road test is so simple that even a dog could pass if a steamed bun was tied to the steering wheel. After getting in the car, you shift gears and start driving, from first gear to fifth gear. As soon as you engage fifth gear, the examiner will ask you to pull over. You just need to keep downshifting until you finally pull over and stop the car. That's how you pass.

If you're quick, you can learn and get your certificate in just over ten days.

Hearing that the process was so simple, Chen Cheng was a little itchy to try it out, so he also planned to sign up. He wouldn't need to practice driving much, since he was a 20-year veteran driver and getting a driver's license would be a piece of cake.

Chen Cheng arranged everything for Su Zishan in the Wilderness, while Su Zishan, carrying her laptop and drawing tablet, stayed in the office drawing for Chen Cheng's campus show. The two helped each other and cooperated well.

After making the arrangements, Chen Cheng took his leave.

I had just stepped out of the Wilderness Gate when I received a phone call from an unknown number.

On the phone, a woman politely asked, "Hello, is this Mr. Chen from Jietong Taxi?"

Chen Cheng was a little curious. He had never revealed to anyone that he was the owner of Jietong Taxi, nor had he left the contact information of the company selling the property. So he went to Wuchuren alone and asked, "Who are you?"

The other person smiled and said, "My surname is Qi. Mr. Lin gave me your phone number."

Chen Cheng was somewhat surprised. Why was Lin Zhenbang helping him make connections?

The other party then said, "I called mainly to ask if Mr. Chen has any plans to sell the Jietong Taxi fleet as a package? I'm willing to offer a reasonable price, and we can arrange a cash transaction anytime."

Chen Cheng noticed a slight southern accent in the other person's Mandarin, concluding that the person was most likely from Wencheng. So, he asked curiously, "What price can you offer now?"

The other party said, "The actual transaction price this afternoon has reached 140,000. I am a straightforward person in business. Mr. Chen happens to have a lot of quotas. If Mr. Chen can make a move today, I can buy them at 145,000 each."

Chen Cheng asked her, "What if I add another forty individual quotas, making it a package deal of eighty? What price would you offer?"

The other party asked in surprise, "Mr. Chen has so many quotas?"

After saying that, she came to her senses and asked, "The person who suddenly started collecting vehicle registration quotas on a large scale after returning from the National Day holiday must be General Manager Chen, right?"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "It's me, Mr. Qi. You know about this?"

The other party didn't try to hide anything, and said with a smile, "We started ahead of schedule because of Mr. Chen's actions. I'm curious how Mr. Chen knew that the price of the quota would definitely rise? Did Mr. Chen know that we were coming?"

Chen Cheng said, "I felt that the price of the indicator was obviously undervalued at the time due to market panic, and there was an opportunity to buy at the bottom."

The other party believed Chen Cheng's explanation. After all, they were always very united. They were here to make money, so they wouldn't tip off the people here. It seemed that Chen Cheng had made the right bet.

So, after thinking for a moment, she said, "How about this, Mr. Chen? The price of individual quotas is already a bit higher than that of company quotas. If you give me all eighty quotas, I'll increase the price by five thousand per quota, making it 150,000!"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "President Qi, I can't quite accept this price yet, but I'll write down your phone number. If you want to sell, please contact President Lin as soon as possible."

The other party was somewhat disappointed, but still advised, "Mr. Chen, I know that the indicators have been rising well recently, but in business, it's all about securing profits. As long as you agree, Mr. Chen, we can liquidate the company today. Based on the purchase price, you'll earn 100,000 per indicator, and 80 indicators will earn you 8 million."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Cashing out is definitely going to happen, but it certainly won't be today. If President Qi is really interested in my company, we can talk again next month. I'll be ready to make my move then." The other party sighed softly, "Alright then, President Chen, let's contact each other again in a while. If you change your mind in the meantime, you can contact me anytime."

"it is good."

Chen Cheng hung up the phone and thought to himself that although the highest price he could get in his previous life was a little over 200,000, that price was probably not the target price for people in Wencheng.

If I remember correctly, the price was originally soaring, but it started to decline after the starting price was adjusted. This was a black swan event for Wenzhou residents. If it weren't for this, their expectations would probably have been even higher, and they might have kept speculating until it reached 300,000 yuan before cashing out and leaving.

This means that people in Wenzhou will only start shipping their goods when the quota reaches or approaches 300,000.

My tentative selling price of 195,000 is probably still in the stage where Wencheng people are accumulating shares and driving up the price, continuing to lure more buyers.

Therefore, if they were to sell all their properties at a price of 195,000 yuan per square meter, the people of Wenzhou would definitely buy them without hesitation.

Simply put, there's no worry about selling them.

Back at school, Chen Cheng didn't go to his dormitory, but went straight to the second floor of a Sichuan restaurant.

When he got downstairs, he received another call from an unfamiliar landline.

The call connected, and Wu Haoyang's voice came from the other end: "Chen Cheng, this is Wu Haoyang."

Chen Cheng asked him, "Why haven't you called me these past few days? How is Auntie doing?"

Wu Haoyang's voice was somewhat dejected and hoarse as he said, "I've been queuing up for all sorts of tests these past few days. Some tests take more than half a month to get done, and I only managed to get them done by hiring a scalper to cut in line. The results only came out today. I saw a doctor this afternoon, and he said it is indeed cirrhosis of the liver, and there are already complications, so I need to be hospitalized for treatment."

Chen Cheng then asked, "Has the doctor admitted him to the hospital?"

"Received."

Wu Haoyang said, "I'll go to complete the hospital admission procedures first thing tomorrow morning."

Chen Cheng comforted him, saying, "Cirrhosis is difficult to treat, but if it is well controlled, the survival period should be relatively long. Now you can actively treat it. Even if the situation becomes serious in a few years, there is still the option of liver transplantation."

Wu Haoyang couldn't help but exclaim, "Chen Cheng, how come you know everything? It's basically the same as what the doctor said..."

Chen Cheng said, "I also read some popular science articles in books."

As he spoke, he thought to himself: He was a middle-aged man in his forties, and both of his elders had some flaws.

Some are chronic diseases requiring lifelong medication, while others are acute or even severe illnesses.

I often have to help others register for appointments, contact specialists, and pull strings to get tests done and hospitalized as soon as possible.

The more you worry about things, the more you naturally understand in this area.

In his previous life, Wu Haoyang's mother died of liver cancer a few years later. Now that she is only in the cirrhosis stage, as long as she receives active treatment, her survival period can be greatly improved.

Wu Haoyang said with some relief, "The doctor also said that it was fortunate that we made an appointment and had a systematic examination. Otherwise, if it had continued like this, it would have developed into severe cirrhosis in a year or two, and might even have developed liver cancer. At that time, no amount of money would have helped."

He said gratefully, "Chen Cheng, thank you so much for reminding me and lending me so much money!"

Chen Cheng said calmly, "Don't be so polite. Your aunt's health is the most important thing. Do you still need money right now?"

Wu Haoyang said, "My dad borrowed some money from relatives. There's still 10,000 yuan left from the one you lent me before. Let's prepare 20,000 yuan for hospitalization first. If that's not enough, we'll figure out a way."

Chen Cheng said, "If you don't have enough money, just tell me and I'll help you find a way."

Chen Cheng didn't take on too much of this kind of thing.

The reason I lent Wu Haoyang 10,000 yuan earlier was to give him a say and decision-making power in taking his mother to see a doctor, so as not to delay the diagnosis.

Now we've moved into the treatment phase, and the first phase of assistance has been successfully completed.

As for the subsequent treatment, their family will have to figure out a solution on their own first.

Of course, I won't really stop here. If I really find myself in a dilemma, I certainly won't sit idly by.

Wu Haoyang sighed and said, "It should be alright for now. The doctor said it won't cost much at this stage. The main thing is to prepare for a liver transplant in eight to ten years."

“I think I need to do what Zhao Siyan did and find a job as soon as possible to earn some extra money. If my mom needs a liver transplant in the future, the surgery will cost at least 200,000 yuan, and that's assuming I can donate part of my liver to her. Otherwise, I don’t think even 300,000 yuan would be enough…”

Chen Cheng comforted him, "Finding a job is not bad. At least you can get some experience. If you need any help, just let me know. When your aunt is admitted to the hospital, tell me the department and ward number so I can go visit her."

For Chen Cheng, he didn't feel bad at all about his good brother working.

After all, he had been reborn and still had to work at a disco, so what did it matter if he suffered a little for his own mother?
