Chapter 68(1/2)
Become famous in one battle
"President Ye, this is all the income from this martial arts tournament. It has been converted into foreign currencies such as gold and US dollars as per your request. These are the specific accounts. You can take a look!"
A bank manager respectfully handed the accounts to Chen Can.
Chen Can took the account and looked at it carefully.
The figures on this account made Chen Can very satisfied. He did not expect that in a martial arts competition, he not only did not lose money, but also made a huge profit of nearly 400,000.
This is net income after all costs and dividends.
What a damn huge profit, Chen Can couldn’t help but sigh!
Sure enough, the fastest way for capitalists to make money is written in the criminal law. In future generations, the state will never allow private individuals to make such huge profits!
Chen Can put away the account book with satisfaction and then continued to talk to the other party.
"Manager Yuan, I am also planning to sell some properties, can you help me?"
When the manager of the bank opposite heard Chen Can's words, he was stunned and then didn't even think about it.
"Of course, I wonder what properties President Ye wants to sell?"
Chen Can said with a smile.
"I plan to sell most of the Ye family's properties, including the land, which is worth about 800,000 yuan. All the money from the sale will be converted into gold and US dollars. In addition, every month from now on, my pharmaceutical factory's income will be
Please trouble Manager Yuan to exchange it for me!"
Chen Can's words made Manager Yuan across from him stunned for a moment. In this era, land and houses are something that many people have struggled for several lifetimes. The goal of many people's efforts for generations is to buy a few more acres of land and build a few ancestral houses.
.
Very few people sell off their family property, unless they are prodigal sons who really can't survive, but this time Chen Can has become famous thanks to this martial arts competition. Instead of taking the opportunity to buy more family property, he sells off his family property. This makes Manager Yuan confused.
Got it!
Chen Can saw the other party's confused look and then explained with a smile.
"Guanshi Yuan, don't think too much. The purpose of establishing the Chinese Martial Arts Association is to promote Chinese martial arts. In the future, I will run this association all over the world. All this requires money, so I thought about it again and again and decided to sell my family property to provide for the future.
Make plans!”
Chen Can spoke so righteously that he even frightened the manager opposite him.
Nowadays, due to the martial arts tournament, the local business atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. There is no need to worry about renting out the storefront, and of course there is no need to worry about selling it.
Manager Yuan was thinking about this matter in his mind, and after thinking about it, he agreed. After all, there is an agency fee, and he can earn a sum of money.
After Manager Yuan said goodbye, Chen Can happily put away the account book, thinking about how to transfer the money and where to send it to his family in the future.
World War II is coming soon, and there are few real safe places in the world, but there are also many places where there was no war.
For example, there was no war in the Bald Eagle homeland during World War II. Chen Can was thinking about letting some people go to Bald Eagle to take the lead.
With the US dollar and gold, we have a foothold in Bald Eagle, and the next step is to protect ourselves!
Chen Can was thinking about his thoughts, thinking about the Chinese Martial Arts Association he had established, and wondering where its development direction should go.
Now Chen Can's Chinese Martial Arts Association has indeed taken a big step forward. In just one month, the number of people registered has exceeded 1,000.
Each member only needs to pay a membership fee of two yuan per year to obtain membership. Although the money is not much, it represents a qualification!
Most of these people are local martial artists and some martial arts enthusiasts in Foshan, as well as some young people who come here because of their fame.
In short, a large part of these people are currently working for Chen Can. Now the medicines of Foshan Ip Man's Secret Hall have become somewhat famous after being promoted in the competition.
Because the effect is very good, people who have used it say it is good. All major local pharmacies have already put Mizuitang's medicines on sale, and sales are rising steadily.
The procurement, processing, and sales of medicines here all require manpower, so Chen Can selected candidates from the Chinese Martial Arts Association and slowly cultivated the backbone.
Foshan Ip Man's Secret Hall is a sign that Chen Can will use to make money in the future, so Chen Can is naturally prepared to run it well.
Even if war comes in the future, it will still be able to operate underground, so eggs cannot be put in one basket. Chen Can plans to establish branches in other regions in two months.
Chen Can has arranged a large number of manpower to purchase large quantities of medicinal materials from major medicinal material origins in the mainland. Taking advantage of the country's peace in the past two years, he must prepare for the future.
At the same time, Chen Can also rented the land where the martial arts competition was held and built a temporary martial arts training ground there. Every morning, hundreds of people practice martial arts here.
Chen Can also collects martial arts techniques from various schools in the name of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. Although the current results are not great, relying on his financial advantage, he has also collected more than a dozen second- and third-rate ordinary techniques.
Chen Can established a library within the association, and these exercises are available for members to browse.
As the war continues, these skills will basically disappear one after another in the future. Chen Can also tries his best to collect some.
In fact, in this world, Chen Can does not have lofty ideals. He just does whatever he wants. The purpose of establishing his own power is to have a certain ability to protect himself in the future. As for any big plans, he really doesn't have any.
Chen Can's personal fame began to spread far and wide after the martial arts competition ended. The name Foshan Ip Man is now a golden brand in the world!
Almost every once in a while, someone would come to visit from afar. Chen Can was also extremely polite, and after a duel, he defeated the enemy in one or two moves, which attracted praises from everyone.
Foshan was originally the hometown of martial arts, but now it is even more famous. When many people talk about Foshan, they will think of martial arts and kung fu, and even the name Ip Man.
The development of the Chinese Martial Arts Association is in full swing, and most of the students and gym owners from nearby Martial Arts Street have joined.
I have no choice but to join!
In the last martial arts competition, the major gym owners in the martial arts street performed very well. Except for two people who entered the top sixty, no one even entered the top thirty.
This level really disappointed many people. As soon as the competition ended, those students all switched to the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
The owners of the museum were all very miserable, and it seemed that they had no way to survive.
In the end, Chen Can brought these people together and through persuasion and education, made them all voluntarily join the Chinese Martial Arts Association.
Chen Can let their martial arts gym continue to open and set new rules at the same time.
That is to establish a league system. Every week, there are weekly competitions, every month there are monthly competitions, and every quarter there are quarterly competitions. As for the annual competition, it will be the next martial arts tournament.
The Chinese Wushu Association sponsors the top ten each month with bonuses of varying amounts!
As soon as Chen Can made this decision, he attracted a large number of brave and fierce warriors to join, and local martial arts schools responded one after another.
For a time, there were even more people learning martial arts, and even many outsiders rushed to Foshan to learn martial arts!
Chen Can wants to make the local martial arts prevail. When the time comes, as long as someone takes the lead, the local resistance movement will definitely be like a prairie fire and cannot be extinguished!
In order to promote the second martial arts tournament and attract more people to participate, Chen Can announced at the end of the last martial arts tournament that next year's prize money will be greatly increased!
The champion will receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan, the second place will receive 50,000 yuan, the third place will receive 30,000 yuan, the fourth place will receive 20,000 yuan, the fifth place will receive 10,000 yuan, the sixth to tenth place will each receive five thousand yuan, and the eleventh to second place will receive a bonus of RMB 100,000.
Ten, bonus one thousand each!
The amount of bonuses has been increased almost ten times, and the top 20 people have bonuses. With such a generous bonus, Chen Can believes that it will definitely attract the attention of a large number of Chinese martial arts people.
Compared to other incomes, this amount of bonus payout is just a drop in the bucket, because the last one was too hasty and many people were not well prepared. By the time of the second martial arts competition, the handicap methods will be diverse and will definitely attract more people.
Chives bet.
Just thinking about it makes me a little excited!
Chen Can is living a very comfortable life now. He inspects the pharmaceutical factory in the morning, trains some sales staff, checks the quality of the medicines, and then checks the accounts, knowing how much he has earned.
In the afternoon, I inspected major martial arts gyms, and occasionally went to the martial arts venues to warm up in person. Sometimes I also had cordial talks with some visiting martial artists, talking about the friendship between the various sects!
Chen Can had free time in the evening. He occasionally teased the new maid. Under the watchful eye of his wife, he went upstairs to discuss ergonomics and motorized swing kinematics. He had a dreamless night!
This kind of life is simple, fulfilling and boring.
Chen Can knew that days like this would not last long.
He has been paying attention to the international and domestic situation, and now, the timeline in his memory is getting closer and closer.
The land of China has long been watched by various forces, and Foshan is just an inconspicuous little place.
More than half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and it was March of 2016!
Nowadays, the number of people in the Chinese Martial Arts Association has exceeded 3,000, and among them there are many good talents that Chen Can has taken a fancy to, and he has begun to cultivate them carefully.
In addition to some martial arts figures joining, as the reputation grew, some traders and some local families also took the initiative to join in order to find backers.
With the expansion of his network of relationships, Chen Can can now be said to be the largest local force in Foshan.
On the surface, there are pharmaceutical companies earning him a steady stream of profits, but secretly, there are thousands of Chinese martial arts practitioners who want money and people.
Even the government, Li Zhao and a group of Foshan patrol policemen are Chen Can's younger brothers.
Chen Can knew, however, that he was just making trouble in a small place like Foshan, and he was nothing compared to the real big forces.
As time went forward, Chen Can felt more and more pressed for time.
In April, he sent a team of twenty people to Bald Eagle and began to inquire about the situation in Chinatown there.
He planned to establish a branch of the Chinese Martial Arts Association there first, then establish a branch of the Foshan Secret Hall, and finally see if it would be suitable for his family to move there in a year or two.
Not only his family, but also many future members and people related to him will be transferred one after another.
Not just Bald Eagle, Chen Can plans to establish branches and branches all over the world in the next ten years. Again, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Of course, let's take it step by step. At present, both the pharmaceutical factory and the Chinese Martial Arts Association are developing very well. This is where Chen Can's confidence lies.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the second martial arts tournament.
The second martial arts tournament was as popular as Chen Can predicted.
