Li Taiping was taken aback at first, then became pleasantly surprised that Wei Mo was actually willing to continue the deal with him.
Making deals is great; you can earn many times more than a fixed salary. Right now, I really need to continue working with Wei Mo.
He nodded solemnly to Wei Mo before speaking:
"Just tell me what's wrong, little prodigy, and I'll handle it."
Wei Mo stopped wasting words and spoke frankly and directly:
“My Aunt Wang Ling married Li Sanpang, right? He also wants to find a job that pays well, so I want him to get involved in our business.”
"I'm handing him over to you and putting him in charge. Don't worry, this might cause you some trouble, but I'll give you more benefits in the future."
“In future transactions, no matter how many are sold, I will take 1/4 of the total profit, give you 15% and give Li Sanpang 10%.”
"However, I will not contact Li Sanpang directly. After all, I trust you more. I will only contact you regarding the transaction. You need to come up with a reason to decline the rest."
"I won't admit it even to Li Sanpang. Is there a problem with this?"
When Li Taiping heard Wei Mo's words, he was taken aback. He knew that Li Taiping and Wei Mo were only business partners, but Wei Mo's words made it clear that he valued him more.
Li Taiping nodded and quickly promised:
"Don't worry, little prodigy, there's no problem with this. Just have him come to me later. But we're still short of food."
"If we had more refined grains, I believe it would bring greater profits. Also, I'm currently short of funds, and I'd like to increase our transactions. I wonder if that's possible?"
After finishing speaking, Li Taiping scratched his head awkwardly, then continued to instruct Wei Mo:
“Little prodigy, as you know, I used to be all alone, so it didn’t matter how much I earned, as long as it was enough for me to eat and drink. But now the situation is different.”
"I not only have to support myself, but also Chunhua and our three children. So the pressure is quite high. Could we increase the trading volume a bit more?"
Li Taiping didn't mention that it was because Li Sanpao was also involved in the transaction, which made Wei Mo very happy.
He didn't make excuses from others, but only stated his own reasons.
Wei Mo nodded and said to Li Taiping:
"Don't worry, the trading volume in the future can be three times that of now. As long as there is enough gold, I can get enough grain."
"As for the source, just like before, don't ask about it. After all, the less you know, the better for you."
Li Taiping understood this as well and nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, I will never pry into your affairs, and even if something happens, I will take responsibility for it. I won't cause you any trouble."
Wei Mo was genuinely satisfied with such a partner, and he was also aware of Li Taiping's plans.
After all, the land for the house was approved by Grandpa Yu, and some construction has already begun. They are just waiting for the land to be fully developed before they start building the house.
Wei Mo didn't say anything more, nodded to Li Taiping, and then slowly said:
"Then the transactions will continue. I'll keep the grain at my old house. Each time you take some, just bring me the money for the transaction."
Li Taiping nodded excitedly. Then, looking at Wei Mo, who seemed like a little adult, he spoke with an air of maturity beyond his years.
"Brother Li, you should go back and comfort them first. I still need to talk to Sister Zhou Fen about becoming a teacher, and see if she's willing."
Actually, no one in the village went to school. In the years of war and famine, it was good enough to have enough to eat, let alone have time to send children to school.
Therefore, even if one wanted to compete for a teaching position, since no one had the necessary qualifications, the job had to be given to these educated youth.
Upon hearing this, Li Taiping nodded and happily returned to the house to play with his two daughters, Tian Xue and Tian Yue.
To be honest, life in the educated youth compound is really good now, because it's not time to sign up for the main task of going to the countryside yet.
At that time, there were only people who voluntarily went to the countryside to support rural development, so there were very few educated youth. Zhou Fen is now living alone in the women educated youth settlement.
She also knew that Li Taiping was about to move out of the educated youth compound, and soon she would be all alone.
She also considered moving out, but didn't want to get married.
Zhou Fen was naturally strong and powerful, and she was not afraid of working at all. Earning work points was a piece of cake for her.
When Zhou Fen saw Xiao Weimo knocking on her door, she was taken aback at first, and then quickly pulled Xiao Weimo into the room.
In her eyes, even if Wei Mo was a child prodigy, he was still a child, and the only people in the village she had ever interacted with were Wang Zhenhua's family.
So she was especially kind to Wei Mo, and quickly rummaged through the cabinet to find a few pieces of candy, handing them to him:
"What brings you here? Little brat, here's some candy for you."
Seeing Zhou Fen's appearance, Wei Mo couldn't help but recall when he first met Li Xiuxiu and the others, they also used candy to coax him.
Wei Mo chuckled softly and said sweetly:
"Thank you, Sister Zhou Fen. Of course I'm here to tell you something good."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fen was initially confused, then looked at Xiao Weimo with a puzzled expression and asked:
"What good news is it? If it's really good, I'll give you candy."
After she finished speaking, she reached out to pinch Wei Mo's cheek, but Wei Mo dodged her. Wei Mo quickly said from the side:
"Sister Zhou Fen, our village is going to build a primary school, and there are a few teaching positions available. I don't know if you want to take them. After all, if you earn work points as a teacher, you won't have to work anymore and you can easily support yourself."
Zhou Fen never expected that although she could make a living on her own, no one is a fool.
Who would go to the fields to forage for food if they could avoid working? If being a teacher meant having enough to eat, why would anyone choose that path?
She said to Wei Mo with a happy expression:
"Xiao Weimo, really? Can I sign up?"
Wei Mo nodded. Seeing Zhou Fen's expression, he knew she was also interested in the teacher's position. It was understandable, as earning work points in the fields wasn't easy in this era.
Although earning work points wasn't difficult for Zhou Fen, nobody liked going to work. If they had other skills to support themselves, who would want to work under the sun every day?
Wouldn't it be better to sit in the classroom every day and teach these naughty kids? Besides, Zhou Fen especially loves children, so this is exactly what Zhou Fen wanted to do.
After Wei Mo understood, he spoke to her.
"Then Sister Zhou Fen, come to my house with me in a little while and tell my grandpa that we've only decided on Aunt Wang Ling right now, and if we add you, we'll still need two more people."
"The remaining two people may still be selected from the village, but there shouldn't be any problem with your spot."
Zhou Fen was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.
"Okay, okay, then I'll go to your house with you in a bit."
Zhou Fen seemed very excited and immediately wanted to finalize the matter.
Wei Mo noticed her mood, so he and Zhou Fen locked the door of the female educated youth settlement and then walked quickly toward Wei Mo's house.
