From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Chapter 139: So, It’s My Fault?

"If we develop according to President Zong’s plan next year and expand to all the second-tier cities, the annual revenue will be at least two hundred million. That’s more than I make from filming variety shows!"

Although Chen He was thriving in the entertainment industry thanks to his family background, his annual income was only in the tens of millions. That was only because he had starred in a few hit TV series; otherwise, the figure would have been even lower.

But now, just by getting on board with Su Chen, a simple franchise deal was letting him rake in a fortune. How could he not be excited?

"So," Su Chen said, turning to look at Chen He, "did Zong Xinyao go over the tax situation with you all?"

Chen He tensed up and quickly explained, "President Zong already spoke to us about it. You can rest assured about the taxes, Mr. Su. I absolutely won’t be the one to drag everyone down!"

He knew the entertainment industry had a bad reputation. Not long ago, news broke about a top star evading taxes. The fallout was terrible, and the star was blacklisted instantly.

He understood what Su Chen was getting at—one rotten apple could spoil the whole barrel.

"Hmm~" Su Chen had only asked casually; he hadn’t expected to frighten Chen He so badly. ’I wonder how Zong Xinyao broke it to them.’

But judging by Chen He’s reaction, the message got across loud and clear!

Young Master Huang, Second Floor!

Sicong led Su Chen into a small private room.

"What’s with all the secrecy?"

The moment they arrived at Young Master Huang, Sicong had sidled up to him, saying he had something to discuss. He even made a point of finding a quiet place; it was obvious he didn’t want Qin Fen and the others to hear.

Sicong didn’t say anything. He rummaged in his down jacket for a moment with his right hand before pulling out a black bank card and handing it to Su Chen.

"This is an anonymous Swiss black card. There’s a hundred million in it. It’s your share of the profits from that batch of aged wine!"

"You can use this card without any worries, whether here or abroad!"

Sicong made sure to explain, so Su Chen wouldn’t think there was anything fishy about it.

Su Chen took the Swiss black card and toyed with it in his hand for a moment before putting it away. "Looks like you really got this wine business off the ground!"

"Of course! You have no idea how hard Qin Fen, Hou Ting, and the others have been working. They’ve already broken into the high-end restaurant market, and this year’s wine has already started selling. Based on the feedback, customers are extremely satisfied with it." Sicong was a little smug; after all, watching a company flourish under his management gave him a sense of accomplishment worth being proud of.

Su Chen suddenly remembered the aged wine Jiangyang had given him. The corners of his mouth curved up as he teased, "Did you give away all the wine aged over forty years as networking gifts?"
