Chapter 153 Get Support
Zhang Zijun poured himself and Zhang Jingtong a glass of water, took two sips and said, "I just think Haishi is quite interesting, more fun than Kyoto."
Zhang Jingtong's temples jumped when he heard the word "fun". Gu Erhui was a good girl, she shouldn't be led astray by him. Suppressing his inner worry, he asked, "What did you play?"
Zhang Zijun glanced at his father, knowing what he was thinking, and said, "What can we do? Erhui and the others went to Hai City to investigate supermarkets. She probably wants to open one."
Zhang Jingtong was stunned. He knew about the supermarket in Hai City. Not only had it been reported in the newspapers, but his secretary had also told him about the supermarket there. Now that reform and opening up had begun, economic development was the most important achievement for local officials like them.
Economic development must, of course, be integrated with people's livelihoods. Currently, the most pressing livelihood issue nationwide is the issue of supply and demand. As officials in charge, we must not only focus on production and meet people's demand for products, but also ensure that purchasing is convenient for them.
The current way of buying things with coupons at the supply and marketing cooperatives is really inconvenient and also restricts people's desire to buy. If people have no purchasing power, how can the economy develop?
Zhang Jingtong thought a lot at the same time. After a while, he asked Zhang Zijun, "Is the Gu family really going to open a supermarket?"
Opening a clothing store wouldn't have a big impact, but opening a supermarket would be a different matter. It would solve the huge problem of people's purchasing difficulties, so it needed to be taken seriously. If the Gu family really wanted to open a supermarket and succeeded, the impact would be huge, and they needed support.
Of course, he also has to see whether the Gu family has the ability.
Zhang Zijun didn't know that his father had thought about the national economy and people's livelihood in just a moment. He said, "I think Erhui is very interested, but I don't know what her father thinks. Her father went to Shenzhen."
Zhang Jingtong hummed and took the matter to heart. He then asked, "How are you and Erhui getting along? Can you settle down?"
Zhang Zijun didn't say anything. Zhang Jingtong knew what he meant. She wasn't completely attracted to him yet. After a moment's thought, he said, "When you're with a girl, you shouldn't throw tantrums all the time. Show more of your strengths and those of our family."
He doesn't have many personal advantages, but his family's advantages can still make up for it.
"I know." Zhang Zijun said.
Seeing how Erhui spoke to him that day, he didn't lose his temper.
Zhang Jingtong hummed again, remembering what Zhang Zijun said about Ye Chi and the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and asked again: "Is it true that Ye Chi is not favored?"
Zhang Zijun was so proud of this. Look, Ye Chi, who was praised by everyone, was rejected, but he was about to go out with Er Hui. What did this mean? It meant that he was better than Ye Chi!
This kind of thing cannot be known to others. It will be bad for Ye Chi and Gu Yimin's reputation, otherwise he will definitely let everyone know.
"She really wasn't liked. Erhui said it herself." Zhang Zijun said.
If Gu Erhui knew that he was talking nonsense like this, she would definitely spit in his face. When did she say that her elder sister didn't like Ye Chi? She just said that her elder sister had nothing to do with Ye Chi.
Zhang Jingtong couldn't help but look up to the Gu family after hearing his words. Even though Ye Chi's family was somewhat shady, his excellence was undeniable. Many families in Kyoto wanted to marry into the Ye family, but the Gu family didn't dare to enter the marriage, and instead rejected Ye Chi.
What does this mean? It means that the Gu family is clear-headed and not profit-driven.
So he was more optimistic about the Gu family.
"When will you return to Kyoto?" Zhang Jingtong asked Zhang Zijun again.
Zhang Zijun lazily leaned against the sofa, thought for a while and said, "Just these two days."
He wanted to stay in Lizhou for a few more days, to spend more time with Erhui, but he had to go back and get things done. Erhui had only the idea of opening a supermarket, and she'd already worked out all the details. He'd only been talking about his foreign trade company. If he didn't get things done when he got back, Erhui would definitely look down on him.
"Go back and work hard. You can't be worse than a girl." Zhang Jingtong said.
Zhang Zijun hummed and poked his father wherever it hurt.
Zhang Zijun returned to Kyoto two days later and told Gu Erhui to call her every few days, and Gu Erhui agreed. After he left, Gu Erhui continued to work on her supermarket plan. Three days later, Gu Jianguo returned with a batch of autumn clothes and some fruit from Shenzhen.
The two new employees started working, and Gu Xueqiang also returned. After they packed up the goods, Gu Erhui talked to Gu Jianguo about the supermarket and showed him the business plan she had made.
Gu Jianguo took a look at it. Gu Erhui's writing was detailed and clear, and he understood it immediately. Then he listened to Gu Erhui's detailed account of the situation at the Haishi Supermarket and said, "We need to discuss this matter carefully."
Gu Jianguo's willingness to invest more than a decade of savings in a business shows he has the guts to do it. As long as the supermarket project is feasible, he thinks it's not impossible.
After dinner, the family sat together to discuss the supermarket. Gu Siqing, Gu Erhui, and Gu Yimin all thought the supermarket was feasible. Wang Yueju didn't express her opinion. She hadn't been to Hai City and didn't know the specific situation there.
Gu Jianguo thought about opening a supermarket and said, "I'll go to Hai City and take a look at the situation."
Gu Jianguo did what he said and bought a train ticket to Shenzhen the next day. On the third day, he took the train to Haishi. Seeing the situation of Haishi supermarket and the prosperous business in Haishi, Gu Jianguo felt that his current business was indeed a small business.
Capital is confidence. When Gu Jianguo had only 2,200 yuan in his hand, he was thinking about how to build a house frugally. Even when he took all his family capital to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, he was in a gambling mood.
Now he can easily spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house in Kyoto. With so much capital in his hands and the knowledge and vision he has gained from doing business, he cannot be satisfied with his current business.
Back in Lizhou, Sanjing happened to be back from school, so the family sat down for a meeting. The topic was whether to open a supermarket.
It was Gu Siqing who first suggested opening a supermarket. She expressed her opinion first: "First of all, I agree. We all know how difficult it is for people to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things nowadays. Not only are there long queues, but there are also monthly limits, not to mention the need for special tickets. I think if we open a supermarket, business should be very good."
After she expressed her opinion, Gu Erhui said, "I agree, but this is different from just selling clothes. We need to be fully prepared."
Gu Yimin also said: "I agree. Anyway, I will do whatever you ask me to do when the time comes."
Seeing that the three of them had spoken, Gu Sanjing looked around and said, "I agree too. From what you said, there should be a lot of delicious food in the supermarket."
Everyone: ""
"You all agree, so I agree too." Wang Yueju said. Anyway, she just needs to guard the rear.
Seeing that his wife and daughter both agreed, Gu Jianguo finally made the decision, "Okay, then we'll decide and open a supermarket."
