Liu Guoqing and Wen Zhichao, brothers-in-law, had a lot of common topics back then. It seems that anyone who likes a pair of sisters must have good taste.
The two of them talked all the way, discussing topics ranging from whether it was better to have a daughter or a boy to how to find a storefront.
After finding a hotel to stay in at night, Wen Zhichao went to help Liu Guoqing find a storefront the next day. He went to many places. Wen Zhichao was quite familiar with the provincial capital, after all, he had been there before. However, he felt that the provincial capital was not at all comparable to Guangzhou, and its business level was a little too backward.
The two of them searched for several days before, at the suggestion of Wen Zhichao, they found a storefront in a good location. Of course, the price was much lower than in Guangzhou.
Let Liu Guoqing talk to the landlord himself, and Wen Zhichao took his wife and daughter to visit his former brothers.
Some of the brothers were doing well, some were not, and they all asked Wen Zhichao how he was doing. Wen Zhichao was a bit more modest, saying he was doing OK in Guangzhou and running a factory. They were immediately envious. Running a factory meant being your own boss! These people had dared to engage in speculation and profiteering during those special ten years, let alone now. They couldn't wait to try their luck too!
In the end, many people wanted to follow Wen Zhichao. After thinking about it, Wen Zhichao felt that it was not unacceptable. These brothers were people who had hung out together before, and they knew what kind of people they were. They were not those ne'er-do-well relatives, and they had some abilities. Maybe they could really help.
Xia Ruzheng had nothing to say about this. After all, they were all Wen Zhichao's brothers, so he just had to make sure he had the right people. Although Wen Zhichao had his share of misjudgments (like the landlord), anyone who could become his brother couldn't be that bad, right?
Although all the brothers want to go, they all have families now, unlike the past when they were single and could feed their whole family as long as they were well fed, so some of them have gradually lost the enthusiasm they had back then.
Wen Zhichao left his factory's phone number with a few people. When everyone saw it, they were surprised. He could even afford to use the phone. He must be a real big boss!
After staying in the provincial capital for a few days, Wen Zhichao prepared to go to Guangzhou. Liu Guoqing went home to pack up and also wanted to go to Guangzhou to pick up the goods.
It is not easy to do business nowadays. Long-distance transportation is not so developed. You cannot find someone to bring goods to you just by paying money, so this route needs to be opened up slowly.
Another reason is that Liu Guoqing also wanted to see how his sister and brother-in-law's factory was doing now, to see if there was any future for it.
The three of them arrived in Guangzhou together. Fortunately, there were two bedrooms at home. The smaller one had been cleaned up and was planned to be used as the baby's bedroom when she was older. Now that Liu Guoqing was here, it was just in time.
Liu Guoqing looked at the yard and was surprised to hear that the monthly rent was less than 20 yuan. He had already been informed by Wen Zhichao about the prices of goods and housing in Guangdong.
"The landlord is a very kind person. He doesn't rely on this to make money. He just wants to find a peaceful family to be neighbors. That's why we got a good deal."
When Liu Guoqing heard that there were university professors and old artists living across the street, he was so surprised that he couldn't help but drop his lips. It's rare to find a college student nowadays, let alone a university professor, who is a teacher in a university!
Wen Zhichao took Liu Guoqing to visit his factory. Now there are more than 20 people in it. Under the management of Awang and Haisheng, everything is in good order. I heard that even department stores buy goods from his brother-in-law. Liu Guoqing admires him very much. He didn't expect his brother-in-law to be such a capable person!
"We are brothers-in-law. If your family is doing well, Zhengzheng and I will be happy too, so the price I'm giving you is 2.5 yuan per piece, which is basically the cost price."
In fact, Liu Guoqing's cost was not much. If Xia Ruqian had not made up her mind to do business and took out her dowry money, he would not have been able to open a store!
"Thank you so much, brother-in-law!" Liu Guoqing was very grateful. He had learned more from Wen Zhichao these days than he had learned in his entire life.
Wen Zhichao knew that the provincial capital was not as trendy as Guangzhou, so he asked Liu Guoqing to buy older and cheaper styles. Your products are good, but the prices are high. People who don’t know the value of the goods will think it’s not worth it, and your business will not be able to continue.
"I'll try to find someone here who can run long distances to bring the goods to you. If I can't find anyone, you'll have to run back and forth."
"Thank you so much, brother-in-law!"
"We're family, why be polite!"
Wen Zhichao felt relieved that Liu Guoqing didn't take what he did for granted. Unlike his annoying relatives, who tried to build relationships with him in a roundabout way, fearing that he wouldn't give them benefits, his parents also wanted to save face. After all, it was their son's money, so they didn't feel bad about it.
Liu Guoqing stayed for three days before returning with a large shipment of goods. He had no choice but to do it himself if he couldn't find a long-distance transporter to help him. It would be better to get more at once. Xia Ruzheng felt that his brother-in-law was really suffering. His brother-in-law, who could carry 300 to 400 kilograms of clothes, was bent over by the weight of the clothes.
The couple sent Liu Guoqing to the train. On the way home, Wen Zhichao said, "This Guoqing has endured quite a bit of hardship. Qianqian didn't make a mistake in choosing him back then."
Xia Ruzheng took his hand and said, "Yes, we sisters have good vision and luck."
Wen Zhichao smiled proudly. This was his wife's roundabout way of praising him!
Even though Xia Ruqian gave them her dowry and Xia Ruzheng lent them money, and even some of the goods were She's, it was still very difficult for Xia Ruqian and her husband to get started. The couple lived in the store in the provincial capital, and they set up a tent behind the store to cook their meals, and had to move the food in at night.
