Chapter 205 Federation of Industry and Commerce
Zhang Zijun felt that he had made the right decision to come to Ye Chi. Look, there was a solution.
"Did Gu Yimin tell you about the family's money division?" Zhang Zijun felt that Ye Chi had helped him a lot, and there were some things he should remind him of, so he said:
"Because Gu Xiaosi's book earned over 60,000 yuan, Uncle Gu divided the money among all four children to be fair. Then they all want to buy houses. Do you want to buy one? I found two houses next to each other, and Erhui and I plan to buy them. If you buy them, I will find two more houses next to each other so that we can live more conveniently in the future."
Ye Chi lowered his eyes. Gu Yimin hadn't told him about this. However, it seemed that Gu Erhui had asked Zhang Zijun to find a house before telling him about the Gu family's money division.
"We won't live outside in the future," Ye Chi said, "If we want to buy a house, I can find one myself."
Zhang Zijun suddenly realized that he had forgotten that Ye Chi must live in the military compound. If he gets a higher position in the future, he won't be able to live outside even if he wants to. Ye Chi's father is in this situation now.
Besides, the military compound is one of the power centers in Kyoto and a symbol of status, so Ye Chi naturally has to live there.
"Okay, if there's anything I can help you with in the future, just tell me." Zhang Zijun said as he stood up and was about to leave. Ye Chi sent him to the gate of the military camp before returning to the dormitory.
The Gu family was unaware of Ye Chi and Zhang Zijun's plans, and their lives continued as normal. The supermarket's business was booming, primarily because, despite its small size, it had a wide selection of items, making it convenient for customers to shop. No tickets were required, the staff were friendly, and they even offered returns and exchanges.
As word of mouth spread, the supermarket was packed with customers every day. Gu Jianguo began to think about opening a second store. Having already successfully opened one store, opening another one would be much easier.
While Gu Jianguo was discussing opening a second store with his family, a man claiming to be from the provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce came to visit. He briefly explained the history and development of the Federation and its current role, concluding with, "Your Guangming Supermarket has brought great convenience to the residents of this city. After discussion, we have decided to invite you to join our Federation."
This was the first time Gu Jianguo had heard of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. He wasn't sure whether to agree or not, so he said, "I'll think about it."
After all, it is not a state-owned unit, so I don’t know if it is a scam.
Hearing him say this, the person from the Federation of Industry and Commerce paused, then smiled and said, "Okay, you think about it. If you agree, come to my company and I'll help you with the application process. My name is Wu Cheng."
This is the first time that the Federation of Industry and Commerce has taken the initiative to invite me, and some people even said they would consider it.
"good."
Gu Jianguo politely sent the man away and told the family about the incident when they were having lunch together at noon.
Gu Siqing didn't say anything after hearing this. Anyway, her father would find out what the Federation of Industry and Commerce was all about once he asked around, and he would definitely join after knowing it.
Sure enough, after dinner, Gu Yimin called Ye Chi to ask about the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Ye Chi was more reliable in such matters.
Although Ye Chi was a soldier and not a businessman, he knew about the Federation of Industry and Commerce. He told Gu Yimin, "Although the Federation of Industry and Commerce is not a state-owned enterprise, the state attaches great importance to it. The Federation of Industry and Commerce can participate in certain national economic decisions. Joining the Federation of Industry and Commerce has only advantages and no disadvantages."
"Now that you put it that way, we know what to do." Gu Yimin said with a smile.
"Do you believe what I say?" Ye Chi asked with a smile.
Gu Yimin asked him back: "What do you think?"
Ye Chi chuckled softly, "Of course I'm trustworthy." Then he asked about taking the college entrance exam: "Which school do you want to go to? Do you have a goal now?"
"I haven't been to school for many years, so my foundation is a bit weak. I'm lucky enough if I can get into a junior college." Gu Yimin said.
"You're already great. You're positive, motivated, and diligent. These are the most valuable qualities."
His voice was serious, and Gu Yimin felt warmed by his words, and smiled with pursed lips. Then he said, "I'll find you some study materials and ask a professor from Kyoto University to draw up some key points."
Of course, the teachers he found were all the best high school teachers in Kyoto, and university professors were very likely to be involved in setting the college entrance examination papers.
This is not cheating. After all, he doesn't know who will write the exam papers next year. He just wants the professors who have written the college entrance examination papers or may be involved in writing the papers to give some key knowledge points.
Gu Yimin knew without hesitation that it was not easy to find those teachers and professors, but she really needed them, so she did not refuse.
"Thank you!" she said sincerely.
"There's no need to talk about this between us," Ye Chi said, "What kind of school do you want to apply to?"
"I want to study finance." This was the result of Gu Yimin's careful consideration. She had also discussed it with Gu Jianguo and Gu Erhui, and they all thought finance would be the best choice for her. As the family business grew, she felt more at ease knowing that the finances were under her control.
"I'm going to ask someone which school is good for finance majors."
Gu Yimin hummed, "I'll mail your gift today, but it's not handmade." She wanted to knit a set of sweaters and trousers for Ye Chi, just like Gu Erhui did. But she had to study hard and didn't have that much time.
"Save the gift you made by yourself for later. Studying is important now." Ye Chi said with a smile. He was already very happy to have a gift. He didn't care whether it was made by himself or not.
Gu Yimin: "Okay."
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. Gu Yimin went out to tell her family what Ye Chi had told her about the Federation of Industry and Commerce.
"Okay, I'll apply to join tomorrow." Gu Jianguo naturally believed in Ye Chi.
In the afternoon, Gu Yimin sent away a lighter that he had asked someone to buy for Ye Chi.
The next day, Gu Jianguo went to the Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce to apply for membership. There were a series of procedures involved, and by the time they were all done, it was already noon. He invited Wu Cheng, who had been at his house the previous day, to dinner.
The two ate and talked, and Gu Jianguo learned a lot about the Federation of Industry and Commerce from Wu Cheng. Finally, Wu Cheng said, "Boss Gu, your business is pretty good now, why don't you register a company? A lot of things will be easier if you register a company."
Gu Jianguo took his words to heart. He naturally knew about the company. Didn't Zhang Zijun open a company? But what was the difference between a company and a business like him?
After returning home, he studied it and after figuring it out, with the unanimous consent of his family, he started to register a company, named Guangming.
The company registration process was a bit tedious, and Gu Jianguo was busy for many days. Then he started planning to open a new store, Gu Erhui was busy managing the supermarket, and Wang Yueju took over the clothing store. The whole family was busy.
But I am very happy because I am busy with hope and the future.
