Chapter 114 Tang Mingli shamelessly indulged in money-grubbing again.
When Tang Mingli and Fu Ci arrived, Li Zhengdao was already waiting for them in the private room.
Seeing Fu Ci push the door open and come in, she hurriedly stood up: "You're finally here... Oh, sister-in-law is here too?"
Upon seeing Tang Mingli, Li Zhengdao immediately changed his tone.
It's not that I don't welcome you, it's just that I have important business to discuss with you today.
Having worked together for so long, how could Fu Ci not understand Li Zhengdao?
Seeing this, he explained, "It's alright, Mingli knows what's going on."
Tang Mingli, who knew what was going on, was full of questions.
Does she know?
If knowing this is necessary to have this meal, then let's just assume she knows.
So she smiled at Li Zhengdao in agreement with Fu Ci's words.
Li Zhengdao breathed a sigh of relief and said frankly, "Hey, I thought you deliberately brought your sister-in-law along because you didn't want to talk to me about business."
Fu Ci asked him, "Am I that kind of person?"
Moreover, their cooperation still exists.
Even if he wanted to shift his focus to Shenzhen, he couldn't just abandon things here.
The two men had naturally gotten into the conversation and were chatting away without even realizing it.
Tang Mingli thought anxiously to herself, "We haven't ordered yet. Shouldn't we order first before we talk business?"
But seeing that the two were talking so enthusiastically, she didn't want to interrupt.
Anyway, it's not impossible to eat breakfast and then wait a bit longer.
To distract herself, Tang Mingli listened attentively to their conversation.
Hearing this, I was truly taken aback.
Originally, the two had basically reached an agreement by the end of last year, and Fu Ci would gradually hand over the reins of things here, while Li Zhengdao would continue to do it on his own.
And that's exactly what they did; Li Zhengdao gradually went from struggling to becoming more at ease.
So, before the end of the year, the two decided to properly calculate and divide the previous profits, and officially dissolve their partnership.
However, the accident happened on Lunar New Year's Eve.
Li Zhengdao's mother fell down.
They thought it was just a fall, but after only one night, the situation suddenly became serious, and they were rushed to the hospital.
Tang Mingli sighed softly upon hearing this.
The elderly are indeed more susceptible to falls.
Many people who were perfectly healthy experienced a sharp decline in their physical condition after a fall.
Because his elderly mother is in poor health, Li Zhengdao is afraid he won't be able to devote as much time to work as before.
He also knew that it had been agreed before that Fu Ci had basically relinquished control, and that once the profits were split after the New Year, the clothing wholesale business here would be his alone.
They started from scratch together and put in a lot of effort to get to where they are today.
Just when things were looking up, Fu Ci gave him all the results. To be honest, he got a good deal.
But there was really nothing he could do about such an accident.
He didn't really want to ask Fu to resign, as it would be a bit like moral blackmail. But if he really chose to shoulder the burden alone at this point, the business they had built together might just be ruined.
"...I can only earn a few thousand yuan a year, I really can't bear to do it."
Tang Mingli was so anxious she almost asked, "How many thousands is that?"
Two or three thousand is still several thousand, and eight or nine thousand is still several thousand.
However, he immediately remembered what Fu Ci had told him about how much money he would receive this year, and he immediately understood how much Li Zhengdao meant by several thousand.
The price cannot be lower than eight or nine thousand.
Even if the two of them split it equally, it's still a lot of money.
Fu Ci is indeed a man of great ambition; when faced with such readily available benefits, he decisively gave them up.
Anyway, she couldn't do it.
With a monthly income of five to six thousand, and based on future development trends, the clothing wholesale industry, even the lowest-end model, can generate profits for ten to twenty years.
Even if it's only 5,000 a year, it'll be 100,000 in 20
Then, use the money earned to make other investments, generating more money and making a fortune. Then, before the real estate boom arrives two thousand years later, use all your savings to buy more houses, sell them all at the peak, and make a killing like those unscrupulous capitalists.
I dare not imagine how much wealth I could accumulate through this series of operations.
Just thinking about it, Tang Mingli felt like she was about to become a billionaire.
She became a wealthy woman not because of her husband or his family, but because of herself.
Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.
Is this the pleasure of daydreaming?
Tang Mingli was lost in her daydream, so engrossed in her thoughts that when she heard Li Zhengdao say that if all else failed, Fu Ci could introduce her to a reliable business partner, she blurted out, "I'm quite reliable..."
After she said it, she was completely stunned.
Pah! You dead mouth! Do you only start spouting nonsense when you're starving?
It's all because she dreamt too much of being a billionaire, making her forget for a moment that she was meant to enjoy a life of luxury.
Fu Ci and Li Zhengdao were both shocked by Tang Mingli's words.
Especially the resignation.
No one knew better than him how lazy his wife was... no, how content she was.
How can someone who feels uncomfortable if they lose an hour of sleep endure the hardships of wholesale work?
So he quickly said to Li Zhengdao, "She's joking."
Li Zhengdao smiled too; he guessed so.
The sister-in-law must have thought their conversation was too serious, so she made a joke to ease the tension.
But it does work.
At least Li Zhengdao knew he couldn't keep dumping all the pressure on Fu Ci.
He stopped the conversation at the right moment, slapped his forehead and said, "Look at me, I've been sitting here for so long and I haven't even ordered yet."
When the topic of ordering food came up, Tang Mingli perked up again, nodding in agreement: "We can talk while we eat."
After saying that, he realized that his words had revealed his true nature, so he quickly added to comfort Li Zheng, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a solution to this."
Fu Ci agreed, "Let's eat and talk, and discuss it slowly."
But how should they discuss it? He had no idea.
If things in Shenzhen hadn't already progressed to a third of their completion, he might have been able to slow down and take care of things here as well.
But things in Shenzhen were already set in motion, like an arrow on a bowstring, and couldn't be stopped.
This is really giving me a headache.
Things in Shenzhen can't stop, and it's foreseeable that this year will be even busier than last year, so he can't possibly handle everything in Guangcheng. But with Li Zhengdao's mother in this situation, it would be too heartless of him to ignore it.
After ordering the food, a depressed Li Zhengdao asked for a bottle of wine.
After a few drinks, his emotions became even more uncontrollable.
He confided to Fu Ci, "To be honest, I estimate that this year's turnover can double again."
If you flip it over, does that mean each person can get 10,000?
Tang Mingli has shamefully fallen for money again.
In the early 1980s, what did it mean to earn 10,000 yuan a year?
Tang Mingli quickly stopped herself from thinking any further, otherwise she feared she would not only be obsessed with money, but also fall into a money hole.
But when she saw the plate of steamed buns the waiter brought out, six meat-filled buns, which only cost a few cents, she couldn't help but start calculating the value of 10,000 RMB.
horrible!
That's terrifying!
In the early 1980s, an annual income of 10,000 yuan should have been enough to make you feel very comfortable.
It seems like that deadpan mouth is about to get out of control again!
