Cui Ying and Hua Shan approached Huang Jingli and Qin Li to discuss the antique business.
Wu Youliang's parents run a business, and they provide the main raw materials for He Tiantian's Sanfengqiao Braised Meat Shop. They have made a lot of money in the past year. With the improvement of living standards, keeping the money in the bank would depreciate, so it is more worthwhile to use it for business.
"Youliang, should we do this business?" Huang Jingli asked hesitantly.
Wu Youliang thought for a moment and said, "Wu Youliang said that an investment of 100,000 yuan would be enough. Our family has 20,000 yuan, so we can invest it and take 20%, and then we'll get dividends. Besides, as for making money, our family has been supplying goods to Sanfengqiao, so we don't lack this money. Opening an antique shop in Huashan means we won't buy fakes, so it should be reliable."
In fact, Huang Jingli also agreed with her husband's opinion.
The family is now making money and living a prosperous life because of doing business with He Tiantian.
If it were just based on her and Wu Youliang's fixed salaries, how could they live such a decent life!
"So you agree?" Huang Jingli asked. "Should I ask Tiantian if she's willing to invest?"
Wu Youliang smiled and said, "Cui Ying's relationship with He Tiantian is worse than her relationship with us. Hua Shan and Cui Ying will also go to He Tiantian. How about this, let's see first, and if He Tiantian is willing, we'll invest."
"Okay." Huang Jingli nodded. "Then we'll wait."
After receiving Cui Ying's message, Qin Li went back and told her family. She then took out 10,000 yuan and said, "My whole family works in government departments. According to regulations, we are not allowed to engage in business. Since there is such a good investment opportunity, I must give it a try."
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Huang Jingli asked. "Doing business is risky, I have to remind you."
Qin Li smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. Even if the shop can't stay open, at least we'll still have goods. With Huashan and your uncle's abilities, they definitely won't receive counterfeit goods. I'm very relieved."
Qin Li was very shrewd and had already figured out the crux of the problem.
Finally, Cui Ying invited Qin Li and Huang Jingli to go to He Tiantian's house together.
"Sweetie, my family wants to open an antique shop. You know, my uncle, Hua Shan, is an expert in these things, so he'll definitely do a great job," Huang Jingli said. "Are you interested?"
He Tiantian looked at her two other friends and asked, "Are you two interested too?"
“I’m interested. I have some spare money, and it won’t generate more money if I just leave it at home. Especially now that I see other people making money in business, and I can’t give up my current job, partnering with someone is the most suitable option,” Qin Li explained. “Besides, Huashan and Professor Cui are professionals; they won’t receive fake products. I trust them.”
"That makes sense." He Tiantian nodded. "Sister Jingli, you want to too?"
"That's what I think too, Tian Tian. Do you think it's profitable?" Huang Jingli asked. If He Tian Tian said yes, she could make a decision immediately.
He Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "Gold is valued in times of chaos, and antiques are valued in times of prosperity. It should be profitable. Sure, I have some money on hand, I can invest, but how much capital do I need to invest?"
Following the agreement she had made with her family, Cui Ying said, "Ten thousand yuan. Qin Li will contribute ten thousand, Jing Li will contribute twenty thousand, my family will contribute twenty thousand, and you will contribute the remaining fifty thousand, taking a 50% share. Jing Li will contribute twenty percent, Qin Li will contribute one percent, and my family will contribute two percent. What do you think?"
"We're all novices and don't have the time, so it's up to your family to run it, right?" He Tiantian asked. If that's the case, giving Cui Yinghua only 20% is a bit too little, considering she's putting in the effort.
“Yes, it’s mainly Brother Huashan who runs the business, and my uncle will also help out,” Cui Ying said. “However, you can send someone to supervise Brother Huashan’s management.”
He Tiantian nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "That's not fair to you!"
"How about this, the proportion of money we contribute remains the same, but I'll contribute 50,000 for 40%, and your family will contribute 20,000, plus you'll provide management and the appraisal for 30%." He Tiantian gave up her shares; she didn't like taking advantage of others.
Huang Jingli was taken aback, but then understood what was going on. She nodded and said, "Yes, Cui Ying, your family has contributed both manpower and money. The previous distribution was indeed a bit unreasonable. Tian Tian's suggestion is better. However, Tian Tian shouldn't have to pay for the 10% share. How about this, Qin Li, your family and I will each contribute 3,000 yuan to Tian Tian as compensation for the 10% share that Tian Tian gave up. Consider it as the three of us giving it to Cui Ying together."
Qin Li listened and thought it made sense, nodding and saying, "Yes, if you calculate it that way, we actually got a few hundred yuan off Tian Tian!"
Huang Jingli smiled and said, "She's rich, so I'll take advantage of her a little. It won't make her poor."
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Cui Ying said, somewhat embarrassed.
“Let’s do it this way!” He Tiantian said. “I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Making money in business is one thing, but we can’t let money ruin our relationship.”
“That’s right,” Huang Jingli said. “I’ll leave the shop to Huashan to manage. I trust you. Do a good job, I’m still waiting for Huashan to make more money for me.”
“Yes!” Qin Li said, “Just thinking about it makes me excited.”
“Cui Ying, go back and have Huashan prepare four copies of the contract. We’ll each have one. Once it’s signed and stamped, it can’t be changed. We’ll do everything according to the rules of business,” He Tiantian reminded her. “Don’t blame me for being so blunt. Before doing business, it’s better to be a little timid first and a little gentleman later. If we’ve all made things clear, there won’t be too many conflicts later.”
"Okay, I'll get back to it and make sure it makes you money," Cui Ying said with a smile, surprised that the task was completed so quickly.
After the three of them finished their meal, Cui Ying couldn't wait to leave.
He Tiantian was also very happy. She never expected that in addition to buying a courtyard and opening a braised meat shop, she could also open an elegant antique shop.
Seeing He Tiantian humming a song while looking at the account book, Huo Yingjie asked curiously, "What's making you happy?"
"Guess!" He Tiantian looked up, "Let's see if you and I are on the same wavelength?"
Huo Yingjie thought for a moment and asked, "Am I more handsome now?"
"Pah!" He Tiantian retorted, "That's not true at all!"
"Just tell me, I can't guess," Huo Yingjie said with a smile, sitting down next to He Tiantian.
He Tiantian then told Huo Yingjie about Cui Ying's visit that day to open an antique shop together.
Huo Yingjie understood; it seemed that Hua Shan, Cui Ying, and the others had already begun their actions.
This is a good starting point.
Huo Yingjie was somewhat looking forward to it.
With Huashan and Cui Ying there, they can theoretically protect Tiantian and the children, which should put Huo Yingjie at ease.
I'm leaving in a few days, so I won't be able to get a check-up yet, but Huo Yingjie knows the situation and isn't worried.
