Gu Shouxin's idea was that he should manage things himself, and that he couldn't just rely on the Li family for everything else, only for production.
Cai Xiaolian felt that if she had more control, the profits would be greater. However, the Li family was a century-old business, and although Madam Li was in charge of the business, if her family wanted to interfere, there would inevitably be opposition.
Gu Nian is quite laid-back; she only cares about production, and she's not good at sales.
After listening to her parents and sister's words, Gu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Our family can't make packaging, and the Li family can't make products, so we can have one person in charge of packaging and the other in charge of products. We won't cooperate with the Li family's business; we'll cooperate with Li Muyan, who can make packaging. The Li family only has one male heir, and the family business will eventually be handed over to him, but he hasn't taken over yet. He can have his own business. Even if he does take over in the end, he can still have private property outside of the Li family!"
“Li Muyan produces the bottles, we produce the shampoo; Li Muyan produces the lip balm tubes, we produce the lip balm. Our technology is more important because the bottles and lip balm tubes can be replaced by others, but our shampoo and lip balm are exclusive and unique. Therefore, if we cooperate with Li Muyan, we can take 60% or 70%, and Li Muyan can take 40% or 30%. Then we can sell the finished products to the Li family business, isn't that enough?”
"Also, as Father, Mother, and Sister mentioned before, we're not opening a shop because Father's situation isn't stable yet. If we open a shop in Qingzhou, and Father passes the exam next year, we might have to go with him. It's better to wait until Father is more stable before we open the shop. So, when we cooperate with the Li Family Business, we need to specify that the contract is signed annually. Once we have our own shop, we can negotiate the price."
The three time travelers looked at Gu Xin in surprise.
Gu Xin blinked and said weakly, "Can't I say it?"
Gu Shouxin smiled and said, "Okay!"
Cai Xiaolian pinched Gu Xin's cheek: "I didn't teach you for nothing, your brain is even more flexible than mine."
Gu Nian also gave a thumbs up: "My Xin Xin is awesome!"
Gu Xin giggled foolishly: "Hehehe~"
The three time travelers also laughed.
Afterwards, the family discussed it again according to Gu Xin's suggestion, and finally decided that there was no rush, and they would talk to Madam Li about it when she brought the bottles and jars next time.
...
In late March, Gu Sangu returned to her parents' home.
She usually goes back to her parents' home once every month or two, and her third uncle always accompanies her.
This time, she specifically chose to come back after her sister-in-law had gone to visit relatives at her uncle's house, because she was afraid that her sister-in-law would embarrass herself if she came back with her.
Anyway, once they got here, her sister-in-law's eyes seemed to be glued to Zhou Yuan, and she just couldn't see his impatience and disdain.
Every time Gu Sangu returned to her parents' home, she brought back a large bag of white rice, ensuring that the old house never lacked rice.
"Dad, you're getting better and better! It seems you're very happy that Second Brother is studying! Second Brother is truly a great contributor to our family!" Upon returning home, Gu Sangu saw Grandpa Gu weeding in the vegetable garden and happily went up to him.
"The third one is back!" Grandpa Gu stood up and looked at his daughter with a smile.
“Third Aunt, what you said is absolutely right. Isn’t the second son a great hero? Unlike you, every time you come back with your brother-in-law, you make Dad angry!” Zhang said, holding her child as she stood at the door of the main hall.
