Chapter 83: Contribute Money and Effort

"Yes!" Yue Fuli nodded and said, "You have people and I have money, so we can form a partnership. I'll pay, you'll do the work, and we'll split the profits fifty-fifty."

"Fifty-fifty?" Hu Wei was a little surprised. If Yue Fuli had said twenty-eight, or thirty-seven, he wouldn't have been so surprised.

But it's just 50-50.

They only need to put in a little effort to get a 50-50 split, which is a pie in the sky. As men, they have no other skills, but they have a lot of strength.

"That's right, I pay, you do the work, it's fair." Yue Fuli smiled, not thinking Hu Weiwei was taking advantage. She only paid, and everything else depended on Hu Weiwei.

They say that if you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass. If she wants to use Hu Weiwei, then she naturally has to give them more benefits.

There are interests involved, they can make money, and will be more loyal to her.

Of course, she could also give them a loyalty talisman, but there was no need. Her talisman paper was very valuable, and not everyone could have it.

"Are you serious, Miss Yue?" Hu Wei was still a little skeptical. For them, this was a sure win.

"It's more real than real gold." Yue Fuli said with a smile, "Of course, if you have money, you can invest. If that's the case, the profit sharing ratio will have to be calculated separately."

"Miss Yue, you're joking. Even if we have money, it's just a small amount, not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth, let alone invest."

"In that case, let's do as we said just now. I'll pay, you guys will do the work, and we'll split the profits 50-50. To be on the safe side, let's simply sign a contract. What do you think, Hu Wei?"

"Of course." As an official, Hu Wei naturally knew the benefits of a contract. Even though he trusted Yue Fuli, it was still good to have an extra guarantee.

"Then we'll sign a contract during the lunch break."

After thinking about it, Yue Fuli said, "But doing so might slow down the journey. I wonder if there will be any problems."

She didn't know much about this, so she had to ask Hu Wei. If she delayed her trip and Hu Wei and the others were punished because of this, it would be more trouble than good.

"No problem. When we make money, we can buy a horse or a carriage."

Yue Fuli looked at Hu Wei, who was so flexible, and smiled. She actually thought so too, but she didn't say it out loud, for fear that Hu Wei would be pedantic and think that they were prisoners and had to walk.

"Okay, let's do it."

After things were settled, Yue Fuli returned to the team again.

After thinking about it, she found Yue Zhenhe and said to him, "Second uncle, I plan to do business with the officials. If you have money, you can invest."

"You want to do business?" Yue Zhenhe was surprised. He never thought Yue Fuli would be so bold.

They are prisoners now.

It was unheard of that a prisoner would do business with an official on his way to exile.

However, thinking about Yue Fuli's behavior after the Yue family's property was confiscated, Yue Zhenhe felt it was normal. It was obvious that Yue Fuli was not a person who followed the rules.

To be honest, he was a little tempted. However, he had no money, so he could only think about it.

"Yes!" Yue Fuli nodded and said, "Ask the people from your second branch if they want to join us. If they do, we'll sign a contract at noon, and it'll clearly spell out how the profits will be divided. Of course, the more you invest, the more you earn. If you don't invest at all, don't be jealous when we make money."
