Chapter 217 US Dollars
Ask weakly, can you ask for a monthly ticket or a reward?
Lin Hong found his elder brother Zhang Cheng in private and asked him how much money he had borrowed from others in order to prepare for the opening of the Xingyi Taoist Museum this time.
Zhang Cheng looked at him strangely and said, "Why are you asking this?"
"Tell me how much you borrowed first."
"Not much, a total of 80,000 US dollars, but now it has cost about half of it. It is mainly the rental department of this factory, and we can save it in other aspects. I borrowed most of the money from my friends, and the other part was borrowed from the students, relying on the character that my Lao Zhang had accumulated in Faraway over the years.
Speaking of the problem of money, Zhang Cheng was a little confused.
As the saying goes, "a penny can't defeat a hero," many people disdain him in their hearts, but they can't do anything without this white thing.
Originally, people who practice martial arts rely on this ability to make money. What can be done is nothing more than walking darts, nursing homes, teaching grounds and selling arts. Now the profession of darts has completely disappeared, leaving only nursing homes, teaching grounds and performing arts.
Among these three professions, teaching is the most ideal way out. Although you may not be able to get rich, after all, you are a teacher and respected. If the disciple has a promising position, his status in the world can still rise.
The nursing home, that is, the person who needs a bodyguard, is either rich or noble. Although it may make a lot of money, the risk is extremely great, and sometimes you may not be used to what the employer does. It may be the most helpless choice to seriously study the art with the values of wanting to be chivalrous and righteousness. You have Renren didn't say anything, but also lost the face of his grandfather and was despised by his peers. People who practice martial arts are originally energetic and have a very good face. If they really don't have the law, and don't want to do some illegal and criminal things, they will never be engaged in this industry.
Zhang Cheng can open a martial arts school, which is already a very good career choice.
When he came to the United States, he came to the United States alone because he met a foreign martial arts enthusiast in China and was willing to invest in him.
His master also wanted to arrange for him to enter the army, but his nature was relatively detached, and he could not stay in the army at all. In the past, he focused on martial arts, and his cultural knowledge did not pass at all. Except for his good skills, he really had no other skills.
In a person's life, you will always meet one or two noble people. They will play a vital role in the development of your life. Guan Mei will see if you can seize these opportunities.
That American is Zhang Cheng's nobleman. Although he withdrew his capital later, Zhang Cheng is still very grateful to him, because the other party is willing to take money to support him in opening a martial arts school. Although he eventually closed down, he has accumulated valuable experience. This is his wealth. He has never been a fool who knows nothing but works hard. The boy, to this day, he can open the martial arts school with his own ability.
Although this money is also borrowed, it is also a proof of ability, isn't it?
"Only $80,000? A little less..."
80,000 US dollars, which is more than 400,000 yuan converted into RMB. In China, for most people, it is already an amount that can't be earned in a lifetime. But Lin Hong is no longer the poor boy he used to be. His vision has increased many times than before.
"Less?" Zhang Cheng sighed, "It's a lot. It's not easy to raise this amount!"
He raised these 80,000 dollars for several months before he raised it.
"I have to calculate every expenditure carefully now. The opening ceremony and banquet have made me a little petty, but there is nothing I can do. Everyone knows that my current economic situation is not good, and I can understand it. As for the publicity of Xingyi Daoguan, it can only be slowly passed on by the mouth of the students.
The free boxing teaching in the park in the past few months is not without harvest. The first batch of students were recruited from the park. After practicing, they felt that our Xingyi boxing was good, so they made up their mind to come and learn.
Inspired by the park, Xingyi Daoguan launched a "free three-day trial" activity this time. Everyone can come here to learn Xingyi Dao for free. If you think it's good, you can decide whether to pay for it.
There are too many places to spend money at the beginning of the martial arts school. At the beginning, more than half of the capital department in hand was invested. If there was no tuition income, they could only last for three months at most.
For the sake of safety, Zhang Cheng is trying to find someone to invest. After all, it is not easy to achieve a balance of payments. Three months is too short.
Moreover, he changed the meaning of Xingyidao this time, and many places need to spend money to realize his ideas, such as customizing specific training equipment, buying lockers, etc.
"Brother, if you need it, I still have some money on hand..."
Zhang Cheng immediately smiled with relief when he heard the words. He hugged Lin Hong's shoulder and said, "Brother, I appreciate your kindness. This is not a problem that can be solved with hundreds or thousands of yuan. I'm very happy that you have this heart! I will think of a way. Don't worry, since the Xingyi Taoist Museum is open, I will definitely stick to it!"
Zhang Cheng also knows something about Lin Hong's family. Although his mother is in Beijing, how much money can she pay? It's very good to send him to study abroad.
"Big brother, I mean seriously."
Lin Hong knew that his words were difficult to believe, but he did want to help the eldest brother. Instead of asking him to borrow money, it was better to invest in him. Anyway, he also recognized his idea of opening a Taoist hall, and firmly believed that the eldest brother would succeed in the end.
Lin Hong did not invest in the opening of the martial arts hall, he invested in people.
What's more, he put some of the money in his hand in the bank to eat interest, and he doesn't plan to do anything else for the time being.
"Oh?" Seeing Lin Hong's serious face, Zhang Cheng suddenly became curious, so he asked, "How much money can you take out?"
"How much do you need?" Lin Hong asked.
"Of course, the more the better."
"Is 500,000 enough? If it's not enough, one million is enough, dollars!" Lin Hong said very proudly, and finally he focused on the word "dollar" later.
"Hahaha..."
Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing.
"Brother, I thought you didn't have humorous cells... Haha..."
Lin Hong was anxious: "Big brother, if you laugh again, I won't invest. It's useless to cry and beg me!"
Zhang Cheng was stunned: "Are you sure you're not kidding?"
"Of course!" Lin Hong said helplessly, "500,000, or one million, you can say whatever you want, I can transfer it to your account today."
Zhang Cheng suddenly stopped talking. He stared at Lin Hong for a long time. After making sure that the other party was not joking, he asked, "Where did the money come from?" Did your mother give it to you?
"No, I earned it myself. Don't care where you come from. Anyway, you just have to take the money.
"No, how can I rest assured if you don't tell me how you got here?" The look on Zhang Cheng's face became serious.
500,000 or a million?
His little brother said it so lightly.
In order to raise the initial capital of 100,000 US dollars, he didn't know how much effort he spent, and his hair was almost gray.
In fact, Lin Hong's matter has been in his heart for a long time. He originally wanted to tell his mother about it, but he didn't have a chance to say it. He wanted to tell his father, but he couldn't get through to him. As for the master, in the end, he was still rich. He was a little stubborn in some aspects. If he didn't explain it clearly, he thought that he had done something wrong and made money.
Who would have thought that the circuit diagrams he drew could sell for more than 10 million US dollars? No one believed it. Lin Hong himself still felt a little in the clouds.
"Actually, this matter is also very simple. I sold an electronic patent a while ago." Lin Hong said frankly.
"Patent?"
Zhang Cheng was stunned. He was also very strange to this matter and had never heard of it.
"It's equivalent to a surge of invention. If you invent this thing, it belongs to you. If others want to use this technology, they have to give you money."
"Come on! It's a high-tech thing. No wonder it's valuable!"
Hearing this, he felt that he understood.
"Tsk, brother, now you've sent it! Sure enough, being educated is the king. How old are you? That's... By the way, what kind of patent did you sell? How much did you sell?
He remembered the tone that Lin Hong had just said, and it seemed that he had sold more than one million dollars.
"A total of 12 million has been sold."
"Five me! What did you say? Twelve million?!"
Zhang Cheng almost thought he had heard it wrong. He confirmed it again and was shocked.
What technology is so valuable? It sold for more than 10 million yuan!
This is money that others can't earn in their lifetimes!
Zhang Cheng immediately hugged Lin Hong: "Brother, my good brother, it turns out that you have become a multimillionaire without saying a sound! How much did you just say to invest? Yes, one million dollars! Haha, with your million dollars, I am absolutely confident that I will open the Xingyi Taoist Hall all over the world!"
After hearing the news, Zhang Cheng was so happy that he couldn't wait to hold Lin Hong and kiss him a few times.
"Two million yuan divided by five, which means that your patent has been sold for more than two million dollars in total... Is your family clear about that? They agreed that you would invest one million dollars in my martial arts school?
Zhang Cheng suddenly thought of another question. After all, Lin Hong is still a child. When it comes to such a large amount of things, his parents must nod, otherwise there may be unnecessary misunderstandings.
"This... They don't know about it yet, but I think they will agree. In addition, you misunderstood. What I said is 12 million, not RMB, but US dollars.
"Of course, they need to agree... Wait! What did you say? Twelve million...dollars?"
Seeing Lin Hong nodding, Zhang Cheng was completely shocked. He only felt buzzing in his ear and always showed back "dollar...dollar...dollar..."
