Chapter 26 0025 [Both Brother and Sister Are Tricked]

When he heard that they were going to talk about dividends, Yang Yuhui immediately shut up and looked at Tao Chenggang with anticipation.

Of course he wanted to join in.

Tao Chenggang asked, "How much do you want to share?"

Chen Guiliang said, "I want a 28% dividend. My cousin and Brother Yang must also join in. You can discuss how to divide it among yourselves."

Tao Chenggang burst out laughing.

He has completely understood Chen Guiliang's thoughts.

After all this fuss, developing a free game is just a prelude. They're just trying to raise money to invest in private servers by making money out of nothing!

Tao Chenggang carefully reviewed the entire process——

That is, Chen Guiliang had paid tens of thousands of yuan without paying a cent, and even confiscated the remaining tens of thousands. Now, he's using the money he gave him to partner with him on a private server. He's been asked to pay twice, hasn't seen any profit, and is still in debt to Chen Guiliang.

He also has to thank Chen Guiliang for helping him make money, and he doesn't feel any disgust or resentment towards him!
Chen Guiliang brought his cousin Feng Tao in just to provide another insurance policy to prevent Tao Chenggang from tampering with the dividends.

Ugh.

This guy is smarter than a ghost.

Tao Chenggang couldn't help but ask, "If I don't want to develop the game myself and don't buy your free-to-play concept, will you just partner with me to create a private server? And only take a small cut of the profits?"

"Yes, because of that situation, I don't have the capital to invest, so it's impossible for me to ask for too much private server dividends." Chen Guiliang told the truth.

Tao Chenggang looked at Yang Yuhui's eager expression and sighed, "I'm not so mean as to fall out with your uncle over a private server, and even fall out with Yang Yuhui, losing two friends at once. Little brother, I can't believe you're just a high school student."

"He's a top student from No. 2 Middle School." Chen Guiliang said.

Tao Chenggang sighed: "Even the top students from Peking University and Tsinghua University don't have as many tricks as you!"

He took out his cell phone and placed it in front of Chen Guiliang: "Call your uncle yourself, so that you won't be accused of lying to you again."

Feng Tao had a good business today, with one order in the morning and one in the afternoon.

He was helping a client choose configurations when he pulled out his phone and answered, "Hello... Guiliang. Did you really sell that set?"

"It's sold. I'm calling you from Mr. Tao's phone."

"You're really amazing. I never expected that."

"I want to work with Mr. Tao and Brother Yang to create a private server for Legend, the kind that can make a lot of money. You can join us too."

"I'll just forget about it and focus on selling computers."

"You can easily invest a few thousand dollars and get your money back in a few days."

"Don't be funny."

"Let Mr. Tao tell you."

Chen Guiliang handed the phone to Tao Chenggang.

Tao Chenggang got straight to the point: "Feng Tao, just invest a few thousand, otherwise your nephew won't trust me. Yang Yuhui also wants to join. You two are the fuse. Your nephew is afraid that I will steal his money when I distribute the dividends."

Yang Yuhui called out from the side, "Feng Laoer, come along! Your nephew is awesome!"

"Okay, I'll invest 2000 yuan." Feng Tao didn't refuse again. It was just a gesture to invest a little.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Chenggang asked with a smile, "Are you relieved now?"

Chen Guiliang poured the wine and raised his glass: "A toast to Mr. Tao and Brother Yang. I wish us great prosperity!"

"Easy to say."

Tao Chenggang raised his head and drank it all in one gulp: "I will contact the experts tonight to set up a private server. Those guys are night owls."

Yang Yuhui also drank it happily and patted Chen Guiliang's shoulder enthusiastically.

Chen Guiliang said, "After this drink, I'll go to the bank and transfer money to Mr. Tao. How much should I invest?"

"You don't have to pay. It will be deducted from the balance owed to you. Just wait to receive the 28% dividend." Tao Chenggang has completely figured it out and no longer wants to delay Chen Guiliang with the balance of tens of thousands of yuan.

There's no need to write contracts or IOUs.

Just verbally agree on how to distribute the dividends.

Private servers are illegal to begin with. If things get out of hand, will we even have to go to court? It all depends on mutual trust.

After drinking, Tao Chenggang insisted on driving Chen Guiliang home.

There were no designated drivers those days, and Tao Chenggang didn't have a driver either. Chen Guiliang was so scared that he kept declining, saying that he still wanted to stroll around the city.

Watching Tao Chenggang driving away drunk, Chen Guiliang could only wish him well and hope he would not get into a car accident.

He still relies on this person to make money!
But after driving the car two blocks away, Tao Chenggang pulled over to smoke a cigarette to sober up.

When the cold wind blew, Tao Chenggang became much more sober.

He felt a little impulsive today, but he did not regret it. He never regretted anything he did.

Taking out the A4 sheets and digging out his lunch notes, Tao Chenggang read over and over again. The more he read, the more he felt that there was a way to make money, and that making games would definitely be profitable.

That alternative private server can also make money, which is just right for accumulating more funds for developing games.

This high school student has a sharp mind; I'll have to find a way to win him over in the future. "Brother Gang, please take me back to the studio," Yang Yuhui said with a playful smile.

Tao Chenggang asked, "What do you think of Chen Guiliang?"

Yang Yuhui gave a thumbs up: "Very smart and capable, he will definitely be a big boss in the future."

Tao Chenggang said: "Don't go back to the studio, go to my house first to discuss the details of making private clothes."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Yang Yuhui started making the call.

Among those internet-addicted teenagers in the studio, you can eventually find one or two with quick brains.

Yang Yuhui has been training assistants, usually just throwing trivial matters to them. This time when he partners with the private server, he also wants to bring his assistant in to play games with the rich.

These days, drunk driving is so common that I drove all the way home without any traffic police stopping to check.

Tao Chenggang lay down on the sofa as soon as he entered the door, and Yang Yuhui ran to pour him tea. It seemed that the host and guest were confused.

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

"elder brother!"

Before Yang Yuhui finished pouring the tea, he heard the doorbell ring and ran to open the door, saying with a smile, "Little sister Xue."

"Hello, Brother Potato."

Tao Xue greeted him crisply, then ran inside and sat next to her brother: "When I heard the door close, I knew you were back."

Their family originally lived in a house allocated by the factory.

Later, when Tao Chenggang became wealthy, he bought two new houses next to each other, one for his parents and sister, and the other for himself.

"Are there guests at home? I seemed to hear some sound just now." Tao Chenggang asked.

Tao Xue smiled and said, "I'm here to propose marriage to you again. It seems she's the niece of Director Liu from the factory."

Hearing this, Tao Chenggang was speechless.

Ever since I found out he'd become rich, I'd been approached every now and then by people trying to be my matchmaker. Most of the time, I couldn't turn them down, so I had to take the time to meet them because my parents weren't retired yet, and I had to give face to certain people at the factory.

Tao Chenggang had known Director Liu's niece before. She was short and plump, and had several noticeable moles on her face.

Tao Xue joked with her brother: "She has a bachelor's degree and I heard she works for a foreign company. Her uncle is a leader of a state-owned enterprise. She is more than a match for a college graduate like you."

"Children should stay out of the way when it comes to adults' affairs." Tao Chenggang said depressedly.

Tao Xue said with a smile, "We've already made an agreement, real adults. When that woman comes home for the New Year, I'll ask you out for a meeting. Maybe I can even help you with your business."

"Don't talk about that."

Tao Chenggang quickly interrupted: "There's a guy named Chen Guiliang, a student at the County No. 2 Middle School. Have you heard of him?"

"You know him?" Tao Xue asked in surprise.

"You know him too?" Tao Chenggang asked.

"This guy is really bad," Tao Xue recounted the book-buying incident in detail. "I was in physical education class that day and went to buy ice cream with my roommate. When we came back, we saw someone selling books at a stall... It was so infuriating. I ran to Class 1, Grade 3, looking for Zhang Wei, but there was no one with that name."

Yang Yuhui, sitting nearby, slapped his arm on the sofa and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, that's something he could do. He's so good at deceiving people."

Tao Xue asked, "How come you all know him?"

Yang Yuhui said: "Chen Guiliang cheated Brother Gang out of 100,000 yuan today."

"One hundred thousand?"

Tao Xue's eyes widened in shock, but then she gloated and said with a grin, "Brother, you've actually been deceived too."

Tao Chenggang said angrily, "What are you laughing at? Hearing that your own brother was defrauded of money, shouldn't you be filled with righteous indignation and share the same hatred for the enemy?"

"I'm very angry, very angry!" Tao Xue said as she puffed out her cheeks and raised her hands into fists, looking like a Pikachu that was accumulating anger.

"Ugh."

Tao Chenggang said: "It's not really a scam. I'm very happy to pay this money."

Tao Xue smiled and said, "Even though he used a fake name to trick me into buying books, I don't hate him. Those books contain his annotations and notes, which are very rewarding to read."

Yang Yuhui thought: These brother and sister have been tricked and are being taken advantage of. Chen Guiliang is truly amazing.

"By the way, Chen Guiliang has a nickname called Chen Daxia. He is very famous in the senior year of high school..." Tao Xue began to tell the glorious deeds of Chen Guiliang.

Tao Chenggang listened carefully and actually heard a hint of his own shadow.

My sister chattered for a long time, and Tao Chenggang said to Yang Yuhui: "Call Feng Tao and ask him to come over for dinner tonight so that we can discuss the private server business together."

……

At this moment, Chen Guiliang was strolling on the street and found a phone bar. He ran in and called his parents.

My parents, who have been hiding from and paying off debts for seven years, can finally go home.
