He seemed to see what was on my mind and said, "I know you are a cooperative, so I only want 30% of the profits, and you get 70%."
As soon as he said this, the secretary beside him seemed to have something to say, but the old man waved his hand, signaling him not to speak.
"And I couldn't help but fall into deep thought. The profit share he proposed was quite tempting."
Seeing that I still didn't say anything, the old man said, "I know you suspect I'm losing money by doing this. To tell you the truth, I'm your father. I left your mother before you were born and failed to fulfill my fatherly responsibilities. If I gave you money unilaterally, you wouldn't accept it. I will compensate you by investing, and I will also get a share of the profits. I think you will accept it. Son, I can see that you have a talent for business. With just a little help, you will succeed."
"Since he's talked about it this far, I finally nodded and accepted his suggestion. Girls, you don't mind me not discussing this with you, do you?"
Wang Xiaolan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly, "Oh, how could I have any objection! Originally, this workshop was led by you, and Shanhu and I were just assisting you. Besides, such a good thing has happened to us, I can't contain my joy, so, just follow your arrangements!"
When Zhou Bihua saw that Wang Xiaolan did not raise any objection to what he said, he couldn't help feeling happy.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and continued, "When my father saw that I agreed to his proposal, he immediately gave instructions to his secretary, as if he was afraid I would change my mind, to handle the matters related to purchasing the factory. I have to say, my father's secretary is really a powerful figure! His efficiency is simply astonishing. Look, in just a few days, he actually purchased a large, long-idle old factory in the suburbs of Kyoto. So, it was natural for me to move there. Sister, our agreement will not change."
Wang Xiaolan listened intently to Zhou Bihua's account of the entire incident. She spoke fluently, as if pouring out everything in her heart. When she finished, Wang Xiaolan looked at Zhou Bihua in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Zhou Bihua at this moment was completely different from the one Wang Xiaolan remembered! Recalling the scene when they first met, Zhou Bihua seemed extremely shy and unconfident, always trying to carefully maintain her fragile dignity. However, due to lack of sufficient confidence, she often failed to achieve her goals.
But now, she is not only full of confidence, but also exudes a shrewd and capable temperament in her every move. Especially when she talks about business, her clear logic and quick thinking can't help but attract people's attention.
Seeing her huge transformation, Wang Xiaolan was happy for Zhou Bihua from the bottom of her heart. She knew how difficult it was for her to come this far.
As soon as she arrived in the countryside, she was deceived into marriage and fell into a hostile family. She was tortured by her mother-in-law and her husband's family until she was admitted to university and her admission letter was almost sold by her in-laws. She fought against the unfairness of fate.
Wang Xiaolan smiled, her eyes fell on Zhou Bihua, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of teasing.
She said softly, "Sister Zhou, look at how radiant you are now! You're so different from before! With your father's love and support, your life is getting better and better! I'm really happy for you!"
After saying that, Wang Xiaolan paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about something. Then, she changed the subject and continued, "But, Sister Zhou, I'm afraid our previous agreement will have to be slightly revised!"
Zhou Bihua said, "Does this mean you don't want to work with me anymore? If that's the case, I don't agree."
Wang Xiaolan smiled and said, "I can't take advantage of you. I mean, I can't take so much of this stock. Half is enough, because your father is the main investor now. I just supplied some soybeans and made some suggestions, but I didn't contribute much. As the economy develops, the market will become more and more abundant. By then, soybeans will no longer be a scarce commodity and can be bought everywhere. Besides, I really don't have time to participate in the management of the factory. I may have bigger things to do."
After hearing what Wang Xiaolan said, Zhou Bihua's face instantly darkened. His eyes, which had been gentle at first, became sharp and serious. He stared at her closely and said, "Hmph, stop giving me these useless excuses! Take those soybeans, for example! I've thoroughly checked every market in Kyoto."
"The soybeans sold in the grain and oil store, whether in color, size or texture, can't compare to what you provide. When I was in our village, I used the soybeans grown in our own farm to make fermented tofu, and the taste was far inferior! Even if soybeans sold in the market no longer require coupons in the future, I will definitely not buy a single cent of them! Because only the soybeans you give me can make the delicious fermented tofu that makes people linger."
Wang Xiaolan heard her say this and muttered to herself, "Of course! You know, these soybeans are grown using the spiritual spring water from the space! Not only do they taste delicious, they also have excellent health benefits!"
