37: 37th Chapter: Shocking 37: 37th Chapter: Shocking Shocked, Li Dajiang sat on the sofa and remained silent for a long ti.
“Brother Chen, I must tell you, the divination you did was truly divine!”
After a while, he spoke up with a bitter expression on his face.
Upon returning from Tai Island, Li Dajiang and two good friends planned to set up a shoe factory together in Haizhu City, Yuedong.
The machinery had been purchased and the factory had been under construction for so ti, expected to be completed within a month at most.
However, at this point, Li Dajiang and his two friends started having disagreents due to different business philosophies.
His friends believed that the economy of the Yanhuang Empire was booming and were optimistic about the market here, intending to manage their own branded shoes.
Li Dajiang, however, felt that at the beginning, they should not aim too high; at the current stage, their factory should mainly focus on OEM manufacturing.
Neither side was necessarily right or wrong in their business philosophy; each had their own logic.
What Li Dajiang found most difficult to accept was that a brand shoe OEM contract he had painstakingly negotiated was outright rejected by his two friends!
Because of this, he had a huge quarrel with the two friends, making things very unpleasant!
After completely falling out, those two joined forces, and Li Dajiang completely lost his say in the factory, being almost marginalized!
Most of his wealth had been invested in that shoe factory.
Should he split with those business partners now?
Owning only about thirty percent of the shares in the factory, what assets could Li Dajiang get?
At most, he might be able to take so machinery.
Starting anew and building another shoe factory was not feasible as he lacked the funds.
Without a factory, there was nowhere to store the machinery he might pull out, and he certainly couldn’t just ship it all back to Tai Island!
Continue as is?
All his money was tied up in the factory, and he couldn’t manage anything.
Would they make a profit or loss in a year?
It was at the rcy of the others.
Now already at odds with those two like fire and water, how could Li Dajiang trust them?
Because of these issues, he had been incredibly frustrated recently!
Returning to Liuyuan County, in addition to fulfilling his father’s last wishes and trying to find his mother’s remains to properly bury them, Li Dajiang also wanted to take a break.
What was his current situation like?
Aside from himself, it was impossible for any outsider here to know.
Young ones like Chen Hai, their background could be easily checked.
He couldn’t possibly be soone sent by Li Dajiang’s two business partners.
In that case, the words he had just spoken were indeed based on the results of his divination.
That’s why Li Dajiang was so shocked and astounded!
“Brother Chen, you just said that my business isn’t yet hopeless, that there’s still room for redy!”
“Do you have any good suggestions regarding this?”
Li Dajiang asked again.
Previously, his deanor had been rather playful, but now, looking at Chen Hai, his eyes showed much more respect.
Chen Hai smiled silently, simply taking a cigarette from the box on the coffee table and lighting it for himself.
He had kindly co over to help Li Dajiang, but this guy hadn’t stopped doubting him, giving him cold looks.
He wasn’t a particularly magnanimous person; despite his constant smile, if not for the aim of making money, he would have likely left long ago—why else would he still stay in this place!
Having done the divination, although he seed calm, the feeling of weakness that emanated from his soul had left him extrely tired, his entire being close to falling into a deep sleep.
Now, he was rely forcing himself to stay alert.
After such a great expense to perform the divination, how could Chen Hai possibly just give the results to Li Dajiang for free?
That was simply not possible.
However, Li Dajiang was a clever man.
Seeing Chen Hai’s appearance, he imdiately understood the implicit aning.
“Look at my mory!” he slapped his forehead and greeted Chen Hai, “Brother Chen, wait a mont!”
After saying these words, he stood up and walked towards a bedroom on the side.
It was only a minute or two before he returned, holding a thick kraft paper envelope in his hand.
“This is the previously agreed five thousand yuan compensation.
You can count it first!”
After placing the kraft paper envelope in front of Chen Hai, Li Dajiang picked up the hotel’s internal phone near the sofa, connected to the front desk, and started to arrange a room for Chen Hai.
Although his current situation wasn’t very good, what he lacked wasn’t a small amount of money, but a large sum.
In Liuyuan County, millionaires might be rare, but for Li Dajiang, a few thousand or hundred truly wasn’t much.
Inside the kraft paper envelope, the thick stack of hundred-yuan bills with a corner peeking out made Chen Hai’s eyes light up, and he secretly swallowed several tis.
However, to maintain the appearance of a wise man, one must show restraint.
The act of counting money in front of Li Dajiang was sothing he ultimately refrained from doing.
“Boss Li, as a businessman, you should know that harmony brings wealth, and being too rigid with business partners isn’t good in the long run!”
“Sotis, only after you take a step back will you truly realize that the world is vast and wide beyond!”
“Additionally, let leave you with one last piece of advice, encountering gold brings danger, while encountering wood brings prosperity.”
“Think over these words carefully.
If you can fully comprehend them, the crisis will naturally be resolved.”
Li Dajiang was quick to give the money, so Chen Hai naturally stopped holding back any secrets.
His words seed ambiguous, but that was the rule in their line of divination.
After all, being too explicit about certain things was not beneficial.
In divination and fortune-telling, they could only predict the general trends of events.
As for specific details, there were too many variables.
The more explicitly one spoke, the more likely they were to make mistakes!
“Encountering gold brings danger, while encountering wood brings prosperity?”
“I’ll rember that, Brother Chen.
If the situation really does get resolved, I’ll definitely reward you generously!”
Li Dajiang nodded and promised.
At his age, he obviously wasn’t untouched by divination and fortune-telling.
In his view, Chen Hai had already made himself quite clear, and he naturally wouldn’t push for more detailed explanations!
“Boss Li, performing this divination has significantly drained my vitality.”
“I’ll take my leave now and won’t impose any further!”
Seeing Li Dajiang across from him with furrowed brows, seemingly deep in thought, Chen Hai stood up and called out.
His steps were floaty, and he almost toppled over.
“Hai, are you okay?
Is everything alright?” Sun Jinzhong quickly walked over to Chen Hai, steadying him while asking with concern.
“It’s nothing, a few days of rest will do!” Chen Hai nodded and replied.
He had encountered this situation before and was experienced in dealing with it.
“Brother Chen, I’ve arranged a room for you.
It’s right on this floor, room 8301.
You can get the key card from the floor attendant!”
Li Dajiang also quickly stood up.
Seeing Chen Hai’s pale complexion and his difficulty even standing, it was naturally not appropriate for him to keep him longer.
“Alright, Boss Li, you go ahead with your work.
If there is anything I can help with, just let know!”
Chen Hai gave a courteous reply, picked up the kraft paper envelope from the coffee table, and slipped it into his pocket.
Then, with the support of Sun Jinzhong, he slowly walked towards the guest room door.
