Xia Xian was tricked into marriage; her husband died shortly after she married him. Soft-hearted, she then married his younger brother, accepting the tradition of simultaneously serving both branch...
Chapter 287 I'll do whatever you say
"When we make money, we will definitely not forget your kindness!"
"Yeah yeah!"
Mrs. Xia Dasao and Mrs. Xia Ersao also agreed.
What you said today is still a reasonable thing to say.
Father Xia and Lei Juan were quite satisfied, so they looked at Xia Xian. They were all family, so if they could help each other, they should definitely help each other. Only when everyone is well will things be truly well.
Xia Xian had known for a long time that they would definitely come to her again, and today she finally told them, and what she said today was indeed sensible. She said that they would finally learn to do business on their own instead of asking her for money. After all, they were siblings, so Xia Xian would naturally not refuse to help them.
"If you are interested in doing business, I will teach you. However, this also depends on your own understanding. Even if I teach you step by step, you may not succeed. One of you may succeed and the other may fail. If this happens, what if you have conflicts again?"
"You two companies are both doing business, so you must do different businesses to avoid competition. This is the only way to do business. But if one of you makes money and the other loses money, will you blame me? You will say that I did it on purpose, but in fact I don't know which one can make more money and which one can make money with us."
"It's also possible that both of you can make money, but one of you is good at business and the other one is not, so you don't make money. Will the one who doesn't make money push the problem onto me?"
"I don't have the time to deal with your emotions. I have a family now, Zhao Zhao isn't a kid anymore, and Quan Ruifeng and I are very busy. Even if we are siblings, I can't always devote myself to you without regrets, let alone being blamed for my efforts."
Xia Xian will help them, but she has to make things clear in advance.
She told them everything that might happen, just to get their promise.
What Xia Xian said made sense. This is human nature, but anyone with a conscience would not do such a thing. After listening to it, Brother Xia and Brother Xia thought about it seriously and then made a promise to Xia Xian.
"Making money is also a matter of luck. As long as you teach us the method, it is up to us whether we succeed or not. We can't blame you if we lose money later."
"But if one of us succeeds and the other fails, it will definitely feel unfair, but that cannot be blamed on you, only on myself. It is impossible not to be envious or jealous, so I think we can do this. Our two families do business together. No matter who makes money, as long as one makes money and the other loses, we can give 10% of the profit to the other. It's still a little money, and we won't be too jealous of each other after getting some money."
Big Brother Xia's eyes turned, and he immediately came up with this good idea, which was equivalent to tying him and the second brother's family together. Anyway, Xia Xian was now worried about the inconsistency in the development of the two families, which would lead to psychological imbalance, brothers turning against each other, and blaming her. So, why not try to make the two families more balanced and develop together.
This should be okay, right?
"Second brother, do you agree?"
"Agree, big brother. What you said makes sense. This way, no matter who makes a profit or a loss, we can all share the money."
Second Brother Xia readily agreed, and First Brother Xia and Second Sister-in-law Xia had no objections. The four of them reached a high degree of unity today and had no objections at all.
"Then you have to write it down in black and white, so that you won't regret it later."
Deputy Xia and Lei Juan thought this was a good idea, so they reminded them to leave a written receipt.
Anyway, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. That's how it is.
"Then you should think carefully about whether the 10% profit sharing will last for one or two years or for a lifetime."
"Once it's written down and signed, it will have legal effect. To make it legal and reasonable, you can give each other some capital when doing business, which is equivalent to investing in the company, and you can share the 10% profit."
Xia Xian now has a clearer understanding of these things, and tries her best to make sure there are no loopholes in their actions, to prevent herself from regretting it in the future and taking advantage of loopholes to go back on her word.
"Two years?"
"Five years, sign this agreement every five years. If any of you disagree and feel that the money given to the other party is too much, you only need to endure it for five years. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement after five years, the agreement will expire and become invalid. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves."
Xia Xian proposed a time period, five years, which was neither too long nor too short. Even if it meant taking money from her own brothers, it should be enough.
"Do you have any objections?"
Xia Xian asked a few people.
"No, no, I'll do whatever you say!"
"Yes, yes, yes. We'll all listen to Xiaoxian. You have experience, so we'll listen to you!"
The eldest brother Xia smiled and the second brother nodded rapidly. They were lucky enough to have Xia Xian point them in the right direction. They did not dare to have too many opinions and just did whatever Xia Xian said with a very good attitude.
Xia Xian expressed satisfaction with their attitude today. If it had been done earlier, it would not have taken so long and there would not have been a need to waste these past few years.
"Okay, then I'll think about what you should do. Actually, there are opportunities to make a fortune in anything you do now. As long as you are bold, speak louder, and don't treat your guests the same way as your enemies, you will generally be fine."
"You can sell clothes. You can't lose money selling clothes anywhere. There is demand for clothes everywhere. I am familiar with the factory. When I buy clothes for myself, I can also buy some extra and send them to you. This way, the price you get will be lower."
"Food is the most important thing for people. The food business is also very good, even if it is just simple noodles. However, people here prefer to eat rice, so it is better to open a small restaurant. However, you need to cook delicious food. If you can't cook, you have to hire a chef. But since you are just starting out, I suggest you start by setting up a street stall and selling boxed lunches. If you sell boxed lunches, you should make small profits but quick turnover. Sell them at the factory gate. As long as the food tastes good and is affordable, there will be many people buying it."
"There are many other businesses. You can think about what you want to do first and then tell me. I will help you with some advice to see if it will work."
Xia Xian immediately gave three paths. You can choose other paths as well. As long as you are honest and hardworking, you will generally be right.
But when Boss Xia and the second Boss Xia heard about this, they all wanted to do the clothing business. It was for no other reason than that with Xia Xian's help, she could send the goods back to them!
So several people blurted out!
“I want to sell clothes!”
“I want to sell clothes too!”
"I said it first!"
"I said it first!"
We just agreed not to compete with each other, but now we are competing with each other. We are all eyeing the clothing business. But actually, if it comes to clothing, as long as we don't open stores too close to each other or set up stalls separately, it should be fine.
Xia Xian thought about it, raised her hand to signal them to be quiet, and after they calmed down, she spoke slowly.
"Since you all want to sell clothes, then how much capital do you have? Give it to me. I will mail some clothes to you later. You can use them to set up stalls first to see if you have the ability to do it. Sell them and see if you are suitable for this. If you want to sell clothes, you have to be more open-minded and bold. Otherwise, people would rather go far away to buy from others than come to you."
