Chapter 104 Cooperation
"Depending on the design and difficulty of the craft, they are categorized into superior, mid-range, and inferior products. The inferior products are sold to people with lower spending power, and so on. The price range is 35-100."
Even though Zhong Qiao and his father were mentally prepared, they were still slightly shocked by the amount.
No wonder they do.
They lived a luxurious life and spent money like water in Hong Kong, but when they arrived in the mainland, they were restricted by national policies and their huge wealth was far away from them. They had to start from scratch.
In the past, they would remain calm when hearing numbers of hundreds of thousands or even millions. Now that their quality of life has declined, they are amazed when they hear numbers of only one or two hundred.
You have to know that in those days, the average person's monthly salary was about a few dozen yuan. Zhong Qiao was considered an excellent employee in that factory at the time. He had good skills, but he only earned a monthly salary of over 100 yuan. However, their handicrafts can now be sold for dozens to over 100 yuan each.
If you make money, you can quickly change houses and change to a new environment.
Whatever you think will come true.
Zhong Qiao no longer plans to do business and only wants to stay close to Ji Hebai, his golden thigh.
She suppressed her excitement and said, "I have a lot at home, and I haven't even counted them. Why don't you follow me home and take a look?"
Uncle Ji's face turned red and then white, and then white and then black.
How could this be possible? Their family had already severed ties with the Zhong family, especially Dad and Old Man Zhong, who had been chess friends for many years. After that incident, they had become enemies.
If Old Man Zhong saw this, he would think that he was trying to ease relations with their family. Not to mention if his younger brother found out, he would nag about it for a long time and give him a headache!
Zhong Qiao saw his hesitation and was about to step back and move to another place, but Ji Hebai spoke.
His eyes were always on Zhong Qiao's face.
"Can."
Uncle Ji widened his eyes.
What the hell is this kid talking about? What do you mean by "okay"? He's the elder, and you didn't even ask for his opinion?
Oh, Uncle Ji suddenly remembered that this child was having a quarrel with his younger brother, who was more stubborn than an ox. It seemed that they had been quarreling for many days. In order to join the army, he had been pestering his brother to stay at his house for more than half a month.
He had finally agreed behind his brother's back. If he were to be discovered associating with the Zhong family again, he could imagine Ji's father's expression of "How dare you betray me!"
Uncle Ji Er immediately handed the task to Ji Hebai.
"Hebai, I'll leave this to you." Patting Ji Hebai's shoulder, Uncle Ji smiled, trying his best to show the kindness of an elder, "Uncle Ji will be waiting for your news at home."
After saying this, he ran away as fast as the wind as if there was a ghost chasing him, treating Zhong Qiao and the others as a monster.
Next, of course, I followed Zhong Qiao home.
During this time, Ji Hebai also tactfully asked Zhong Qiao if he wanted to get in his car. His excuses were lame, sometimes saying he was afraid of driving while tired, or that his arms were too short to reach the things in the back seat.
He gave many excuses, which made Mr. Zhong's face look impatient.
Finally, Mr. Zhong stuffed him into the car.
"A grown man is whining like a woman. If we delay any longer, it will be dark."
Ji Hebai had no choice but to return to his usual cold and indifferent appearance.
Mr. Zhong was driving a tricycle and Zhong Qiao was sitting behind him. On the way, she stared at the window of the car in front of her, with many questions in her mind.
Ji Hebai seemed like a different person. When did this start? Zhong Qiao couldn't remember clearly. She only remembered that they first met in the compound.
Ji Hebai always looks so cold, like ice that cannot be melted.
After that, they didn't have any contact.
But now, Ji Hebai seemed to be possessed by a ghost. He treated her abnormally well, and sometimes even gave her an ambiguous illusion.
Zhong Qiao shook his head vigorously, throwing out the messy thoughts in his mind.
There is no possibility for her to be with the Ji family, and even less for her to be with Ji Hebai.
She still has a lot to do. After being reborn, she realized that a man's love is just casual talk. When there is a conflict of interest, he will abandon his wife without hesitation.
Zhong Qiao wants to make more money and protect those people whom he let down in his previous life.
As for Ji Hebai, it should be the same as in his previous life.
No intersection with her.
After a while of random thoughts, I finally got home.
As soon as he got home, Zhong Qiao carefully moved out all the things in the house so that Ji Hebai could see them.
These carvings, in addition to Zhong Qiao's designs, are also the product of Zhong's father's free-spirited creations, so they vary in size and quality depending on the timeframe. But after all, they are sold, so the quality will only be better than those on the market, not worse.
Ji Hebai picked up a few, looked at them again and again, and expressed his approval of Mr. Zhong's craftsmanship.
"My second uncle said the quality was a little low before, but after looking at it, I think it's passable. Plus, with this unique design, the price we offered is well worth it."
He stood up, holding a lion figurine in his hand, and said to Zhong Qiao, "Can I discuss cooperation with you alone?"
Zhong Qiao nodded: "Okay."
The two found a secluded place. Mother Zhong didn't want to disturb them, so she brought a pot of tea and a few plates of cakes before they started talking about business.
Those pastries are naturally common snacks in Suzhou.
Ji Hebai doesn't like sweet food and never moved.
Most girls love sweets, and Zhong Qiao is no exception, so she ate it with relish.
Ji Hebai watched her eat while introducing the factory. Finally, he said, "Zhong Qiao, do you want to cooperate with me?"
He paused, and finally swallowed what was in his heart.
He wanted to say that it was not easy for a woman to live with a child, even with the support of her parents' family. But Ji Hebai was not a fool. After he was kicked out of his home, he also hinted at the situation of Zhong Qiao's family.
When I found out that it was exactly as the person in my dream said, I completely softened my heart.
Two years ago, he thought Zhong Qiao was living a happy life, so he chose to leave.
Two years later, he learned that Zhong Qiao was not happy and chose to come back.
And now, Zhong Qiao is right in front of him, but Ji Hebai doesn't know how to get along with her. After all, they have all grown up.
Zhong Qiao put down the unfinished cake in his hand. He was very happy about the cooperation, but he also began to doubt Ji Hebai and the Ji family.
Everyone eats from the same pot, and many things are not allowed in this era. For example, they can go out and set up stalls, which, to put it seriously, is speculation.
So Zhong Qiao was once worried about what would happen to those handicrafts? If someone with ulterior motives reported them one day, the family would be turned upside down!
Ji Hebai wanted so much at one time, and she was very curious about what kind of business the Ji family was doing.
In my impression, only state-owned enterprises are allowed.
Ji Hebai didn't answer. He chose to avoid the main point and replied: "Zhong Qiao, don't worry, our business is very clean."
Zhong Qiao was silent for a while, then closed his eyes, sighed and nodded, tacitly agreeing to the cooperation.
After discussing the price and cooperation, Zhong Qiao saw Ji Hebai out.
Before leaving, Zhong Qiao asked, "Where should I send the things?"
Ji Hebai had his back to her and spoke in a faint voice.
"The Begonia Courtyard in the East Palace."
Zhong Qiao's mind exploded instantly.
