Chapter 181 Applying for Shareholding
After finishing their meal, Jiang Chao went to wash the dishes. Yun Xia coaxed Aunt Wu for a long time before finally making her happy. After repeatedly assuring her, the matter was truly over. Then, she took Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai back to her room to sleep.
The next day, because she was worried, Feng Jingling stayed at home. When Bai Ye came over with his briefcase, he was a little surprised to see that the two people who had been running around all day yesterday were also there.
"Tell me, what exactly did you two do yesterday?" the boy asked fiercely, hands on his hips.
"You two...didn't you tell your family?"
Yunxia sighed and recounted everything she had done the day before, which made the husky furious.
"Well, you two are something else, doing something so big and keeping it a secret... Um, count me in, I've got money, a huge secret stash of cash that even my parents don't know about!"
"Weren't you planning to keep it and make a name for yourself in the stock market?" Ever since the college entrance exam, he's been nagging me all day long, claiming that once I went to Tianjin, I would rely on my own abilities to make a fortune in the stock market.
"Hehe, what if we lose money? We need to be prepared to cover it up in advance!" After saying that, she plopped down next to Jiang Chao, her bright eyes looking at the girl with anticipation.
"Big brother, let's put your suggestion aside for now and hear what Bai Ye has to say first."
Instantly, all eyes focused on Bai Ye. He coughed lightly and stated his plan, "We're leasing 200 mu of land for 10 years, at 20 yuan per mu per year, for a total cost of 40,000 yuan. There are two options: one is to invest based on your expertise, receiving a 10% share, including the peony seedlings; the other is to share the land rent, with you responsible for seedling cultivation and technical training, and me responsible for daily management and subsequent harvesting and sales, splitting the profits 50/50. Yunxia, it's up to you which option you prefer!"
The latter paid 20,000 yuan more in land rent than the former, but the share of profits received skyrocketed. However, it also carried the risk of failure. After some consideration, Yunxia decided to take a gamble. "I choose the second option. With your personality, the contract is probably already prepared!"
"Yunxia understands me best!"
After speaking, he took out the contract from his briefcase. The girl took it and carefully read it line by line. Finally, she found a pen, pressed her fingerprint on it, signed her name, and then took out 20,000 yuan, handed it to Bai Ye, and asked him to count it on the spot.
"Little Butterfly, what about me?" Seeing that everything had settled down and she still hadn't gotten her turn, Feng Jingling asked anxiously.
Don't worry, I won't forget you!
After Bai Ye left, Yun Xia pulled the two aside to discuss cooperation matters.
"I'll put in 10,000 yuan, and I just need 10% of the profits. Huh... why are you hitting me?"
"Just put in the money, do nothing, and be a hands-off boss better than anyone else. I'll put in 10,000, and I'll take 2% of the profits from yours!"
In total, that's only 1% of the total profit. I never expected him to make such a concession. "2% is too low. So, based on my profit, I'll give you 5%, and the same goes for you, big brother."
The result was far from what was expected, but not bad either. Feng Jingling nodded solemnly.
"Wait a minute, Ah Chao, where did you get 10,000 yuan? We live and eat together, but I've never seen him working a part-time job!"
"Heh heh! So you're allowed to have your own secret stash of money?"
Yes, every time Jiang Chao helped Yunxia with her work, he would receive a share of the profits. Jiang Chao accepted the money without hesitation, so the girl felt no guilt and would ask him to help her with her work again next time!
The depressed husky took the bank card and went out to withdraw money, while Jiang Chao simply lifted the blankets, took out 10,000 yuan from the bed frame, and handed it directly to the girl.
"Is it safe to keep the money here?" Yunxia liked the feeling of counting money, and with her personal space by her side, she rarely went to the bank to deposit money.
"I'm not stupid, I just withdrew the money a few days ago!"
"Oh, so you'd been planning to get involved in the peony cultivation business all along!"
"Of course, who wouldn't want to be the boss, right, Xiaobai?"
The white cat crouching to the side tilted its head, its eyes filled with confusion, when it heard someone call its name.
Xiaobai: Are you going to give me dried fish?
The mischievous little black cat was running around the room like crazy, occasionally swatting at someone's trouser leg with its claws. It wouldn't stop even when glared at, until the girl used the trick of luring it with dried fish, at which point it swung its tail and came over to snatch the food.
"Hey, since you're not home, Xiao Hei has become even more unruly. Nothing anyone says works; the only thing I can do is coax him with dried fish!"
"It's all your fault for spoiling it. If you ask me, just give it a good beating, and it'll behave!"
"Heh, the strongest king, if we really want to make a move, are you willing to?"
He still keeps the black cat plush toy he once gave her. On weekends, he often goes to the market to buy some chicken breast, cooks it, shreds it, and adds dried fish to make cat food. It's clear that he loves cats from the bottom of his heart.
Unfortunately, the two cats were not up to the task. Little Black loved to sneak up on people. Books were covered with its claw marks, countless trouser legs were ruined, and even pure cotton curtains were torn to shreds. The scene was so beautifully described as artistic creation.
As for Xiaobai, it's a bit silly and clueless. It loves to squat to the side, tilting its head to look at people, but as soon as it gets close, it immediately wags its tail and runs away in a flash, much to the chagrin of a certain sharp-tongued person who wanted to pet the cat.
"Heh heh, I can't be bothered with you, I'm going to chop wood!"
After saying that, he got up, dusted off his clothes, walked into the courtyard, and with a swift stroke of his axe, split the dry wood in two with a crack. The girl leaned against the threshold, cracking melon seeds, watching him work with great pleasure.
Before long, Feng Jingling returned and handed 10,000 yuan to the girl, saying, "Even between close siblings, accounts should be settled clearly. After you've counted it all, we'll eat a big watermelon."
Yunxia's hands moved as fast as a money counting machine. After counting, she sat on the steps, gazing at the white clouds in the sky, and munching on a large watermelon.
Tianjin is far away, and the train journey takes more than ten hours. At dawn on the 7th, before daybreak, at Jiangcheng Railway Station.
"Lingling, these are sausages cooked by your godmother, and this is a package of fried dough sticks. You can eat them directly when you're hungry."
"Master, don't worry, An'an is very self-disciplined and practices drawing every day. I'll draw for you when you come back for the New Year."
"Big brother, your skin has become much whiter in just 5 days. Keep applying the ointment I gave you. If your classmates snatch up one bottle, keep one in your bed. Those guys aren't so classy as to dare to go through other people's beds, are they?"
"No need to worry, we've used regular face cream as a cover. If they dare to try anything funny, we'll turn on them."
Jiang Chao understood the feeling of conflict in the dormitory very well. Hearing this, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think twice before you act, but that doesn't mean you have to be timid. When you're out in the world, you have to know how to protect yourself."
As the boy listened, tears welled up in his eyes. "Don't worry, I grew up in a big family. I'm at least 800 to 1000 people, how could I let others bully me? Next time you come back, call ahead. If you want any gifts, just tell me. It's almost time, I'm going upstairs now."
After saying that, afraid that she would actually shed tears, she picked up her suitcase, turned around and went into the carriage. The group stood outside the yellow line, watching the train drive away.
