"What method? Tell me quickly!"
Su Dahai quickly inquired.
Su Chengguo looked at Su Chenggong thoughtfully, hesitating to speak, waiting for Su Chenggong to offer his solution.
Everyone was looking at Su Chenggong.
Su Chenggong solemnly declared, "Let's open our own processing plant and establish our own sales channel."
Only in this way can we avoid being suppressed by the Gao family.
But this path is undoubtedly difficult.
The first problem we face is the start-up capital.
Starting a factory requires a lot of money: hiring workers, buying equipment, finding factory space—it all costs money.
The family has a substantial amount of money, but it's still far from enough to start a factory.
"Brother, that's why we're called brothers. I just thought of that too."
Su Chengguo smiled, revealing her white teeth.
The two brothers had the same idea: rather than endure the oppression of the Gao family, they might as well find another way out; the world is vast.
The Gao family can bully them here, but what about elsewhere?
Even if the Gao family has a long reach, they can't possibly extend their reach everywhere.
"Opening a factory is no small matter."
Su Dahai looked at his two sons and spoke calmly.
"This is indeed a difficult matter. We won't do it unless absolutely necessary. Brother Liu, we'll have to trouble you again."
Su Chenggong knew that doing business was difficult and that his family had little wealth, so they had to be careful with every step they took. After thinking it over, he decided to talk to the Gao family.
When Liu Shouyu heard Su Chenggong mention opening a factory, he was lost in thought, pondering the feasibility of the plan.
Startled by Su Chenggong's call, Liu Shouyu snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "Just tell me what it is, and I'll help you without hesitation if I can."
"Brother Liu, I'd like to meet with the person in charge of the Gao family. Could you please pass on a message and see if he's willing to see us?"
They only met Gao Feng once.
They hadn't even offended them; it was just a few words exchanged, yet the Gao family acted so ruthlessly.
Perhaps meeting and discussing things in person wouldn't yield good results, but Su Chenggong still wanted to give it a try.
"No problem, I'll pass on the message, but you guys be prepared. I don't think that company is any good. In my opinion, opening a factory is a better idea. If they don't want the fish I buy, so be it, we'll sell them ourselves."
Liu, the fishmonger, patted his chest in agreement, and also approved of Su Chenggong's method.
Su Dahai looked at Liu, the fish collector, with some shock.
Looking at Liu, who was collecting fish, Su Chenggong was filled with emotion. He said seriously, "Brother Liu, the Gao family is after our family. You don't need to..." get involved with us.
At this point, it's best to protect yourself.
Even if Liu the Fish Collector chooses to protect himself, the Su family will understand. After all, Liu the Fish Collector also has a family to support. He has worked so hard to get to where he is now, what if he makes the wrong choice...
Before Su Chenggong could finish speaking, Liu, the fish collector, interrupted him.
Liu, the fishmonger, also put away his smile and said seriously, "Success, I understand. I always act on intuition, and more importantly, I feel at ease. The Gao family can deal with your family today, but it will be someone else's turn tomorrow. There will always be a day when you can't bear it anymore. If they really have the power to control everything, my life as a fishmonger will not get any better. No destruction, no construction. If you open a factory and don't mind me, I want to join in!"
Looking at the Su family, Liu, the fishmonger, had a strong intuition that the Su family was not so easily suppressed.
The Gao family's kick might break their bones.
Moreover, even if he chooses to play it safe, it won't end well in the long run.
The Gao family is petty and ruthless, which will only further squeeze the market. With each layer of exploitation, the fishmonger can only earn less and less money, and eventually he will not be able to continue.
He could clearly distinguish between a risky but promising path and a path where the outcome was predictable.
"Brother Liu, thank you for thinking so highly of us."
Su Chenggong smiled at Liu, the fish collector; being trusted was a gratifying thing.
"Let's first sound out the Gao family's opinion and see if there's any room for negotiation. If not, then we can start preparing to open the factory."
Su Chengguo looked at her family members carefully before speaking.
Everyone nodded firmly in support.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Liu."
Su Chenggong looked at Liu, the fish collector, and said.
Liu, the fishmonger, smiled and nodded: "We're all family, no need to trouble yourself."
"We can't delay dealing with all that fish in the warehouse. Let's ask the villagers to help us clean it and make it into dried goods."
Su Dahai was still thinking about those fish. They needed to be dried and processed as soon as possible, because these things would spoil the longer they were left.
The processing plant has good equipment for preservation, so time is not so tight.
“We’ll hire the women in the village, five yuan a night. If we hire more people, we can get everything ready tonight.”
Liu Xiaohua began by explaining how sorting the fish was a skill every fisherwoman was adept at.
In most families, the men fish and the women clean.
“Okay, then I’ll go to town again, and you guys find someone to handle the fish.”
"I'm going to collect the fish," Liu said immediately.
"Brother Liu, don't rush. You haven't eaten yet, so eat at home first and then go."
Su Chengguo gave Zhou Chunmei a wink.
Zhou Chunmei immediately nodded, and Li Xue followed to help.
Su Dahai called Liu Xiaohua and they went straight out.
Dai Changsheng came to pick up Dai Ping'an, and Su Luo saw him off at the door.
Dai Ping'an gently advised, "Don't worry, Grandpa will take care of the factory's problems. No matter how small the cigarette is, the burnt bits won't go out."
Su Luo quickly shook her head: "Grandpa can't..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm willing to give away my things. Besides, I'm not giving them away for free. I call this an investment. If it makes money later, I'll still have to get this money back. Even brothers should keep clear accounts."
Dai Ping'an stopped Su Luo from refusing. He had witnessed the whole thing and had his own judgment.
A united family, when faced with problems, does not panic or blame each other. They remain calm, clear-headed, and each person quickly finds what they can do. There may be difficulties, but they firmly believe that such wise people can succeed.
His help wasn't selfless; it was an investment.
If the Su family tries to take advantage of this old man, he will not allow it.
Dai Changsheng gave Su Luo a reassuring look, then left with Dai Ping'an.
Su Dahai and Liu Xiaohua first visited Su's family members.
Every household has several women, and they are all willing to do it when they hear about it.
So in less than an hour, forty women gathered and headed toward Liu's fish farm with their tools.
Meanwhile, at the Su family's house, Liu, who had just collected fish, was enjoying a bowl of hot noodles.
Four poached eggs and six fish balls.
"Brother Liu, just make do with this."
Su Chengguo handed chopsticks to Liu, the fishmonger; they had just discussed how to negotiate with the Gao family.
"I'll go right after I finish eating, you don't need to worry about me."
Liu, the fishmonger, picked up his chopsticks and started eating; he was indeed hungry.
"Okay, be careful on the road. We're going to the warehouse to process the fish."
Su Chengguo said without any politeness.
