Chapter 506 507. Production
Bai Jinglie pointed to the sky and said, "If the share above is reduced suddenly, I will still ask about it.
You also know that I am completely dependent on him now. If I don’t do the job at hand well, many things in the future will be difficult to say. "
Gu Wenheng pondered for a moment, "But there are risks in my maritime trade. If something goes wrong, won't you be held responsible?
You'd better let me know about this matter first, so as to avoid embarrassment later."
"Are you so unsure?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head. "Who dares to guarantee you this?"
Jin Qianqian sat quietly aside but rolled her eyes in her heart. From the tone of her voice, it seemed like she was trying to make a guaranteed profit. How could this be possible?
Bai Jinglie, "Then I wonder if Brother Gu has any other way to make our glass workshop more profitable."
Gu Wenheng, "Does your Highness think that my brain is omnipotent? I put a lot of effort into making that glass mirror last time. How is it possible..."
Bai Jinglie is so greedy, he is planning to take advantage of him again
"...I am also anxious. It's okay, Brother Gu, you can think about it more when you have time. I will only invest a small part in the maritime trade. I have a large number of people to support, and I can't afford to take out too much cash."
Gu Wenheng felt a little regretful at this moment. Why did he write him that letter before?
Jin Qianqian moved her hands and said, "Put in as much as you can. Let's all pool our money together and see if we can get one more merchant ship."
She originally wanted to refuse directly, but this Master Bai had helped them a lot before, so it was not a good idea to say something final.
"I wonder how much sister-in-law Gu has invested this time?" Bai Jinglie did not dare to underestimate Jin Qianqian. He already knew that most of the decisions regarding maritime trade were made by Jin Qianqian.
Jin Qianqian, "I am the one taking the lead in this matter, so I have to pay more. I have already invested most of the money I have earned in the past few years. This is a desperate battle for me."
Who can tell whether it is good or bad? It is better to say the ugly words first.
Although Bai Jinglie didn't know the exact number, he had a rough idea after hearing what he said, "Is this too risky?"
Jin Qianqian, "High risk brings high rewards, how do you know if you don't try?
Moreover, this is a trade route that no one has ever traveled before. If it really succeeds, it would be nice to be the leader.”
Bai Jinglie smiled bitterly. He found that he was indeed a little indecisive and no longer had the drive he had in previous years.
Touching the beard on his chin, am I really getting old?
They were all the same age, so why did he feel that he had aged a lot? He didn't have that fighting spirit anymore?
Gu Wenheng, "Sir, I really don't force you to do this. I wrote you a letter just to ask if you are interested.
The risks here are indeed quite high, and you are right to think about it. Today happens to be the day when my wife's shop opens, so let's not talk about that for now. Come, let's have a drink."
Bai Jinglie picked up the cup in his hand and said, "My sister-in-law is really capable. With just one soap, you have expanded your business to all parts of the country. I should toast you a glass."
…
The next day, Bai Jinglie went to the shipyard to take a look, and then he made up his mind to take out 100,000 taels of silver notes, "No matter if it succeeds or not, I'll take the gamble."
Jin Qianqian: "..."Why don't you take it back?

Gaoling Village
"Why hasn't the doctor come yet?" Xie Ruyi walked to the door again, "Le Jia, go and see what's wrong with your second brother. It's so late, and the doctor hasn't been called yet."
Gu Lejia, "Mom, how can it be so fast? From here to the next village, it takes an hour to go back and forth. Even if it's the donkey cart driven by my second brother, it still takes some time.
Besides, if Doctor Liu goes out to see patients, this..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh," Xie Ruyi glared at Gu Lejia, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Your second sister-in-law has to suffer this, and it's not your wife who caused it. If she hadn't secretly done something bad before, your second sister-in-law wouldn't have had a difficult delivery. You are here to make sarcastic remarks. Where is your conscience?"
Gu Lejia, "Mom, you've been blaming me for such a trivial matter for several months. Can't I make up for it by being busy with Song Shi these past few months?"
"What do you mean by resisting?" Xie Ruyi felt that he needed to find an outlet to vent his anger, otherwise the air stuck in his chest would be blocked. "I'll just let you do more work, what's wrong?
I tell you, if nothing happens to my eldest grandson, I will..."
"Okay, stop making trouble here." As soon as Gu Yuanjin came back, he heard his wife's fierce voice, "Is the midwife here?"
"She had already gone in, but she said the fetus was in an abnormal position, so we had to make preparations.
I have asked Le Di to find a doctor, but the doctor hasn't come yet." Seeing the head of the family coming back, Xie Ruyi seemed to have found his backbone.
"Which doctor do you want him to see? Would it be Doctor Liu from the next village?"
"That's him."
Gu Yuanjin, "You are so confused. He can only treat headaches and hot feet. He can treat ordinary wounds. For matters of life and death, you should go to the town or county. You are wasting time."
Gu Yuanjin turned around and walked out directly. Xie Ruyi immediately became anxious, "With such a big thing happening at home, where are you going?"
"Where else to go? I'll go to town and get the doctor.
Go find mom right away, and get some of your brothers and sisters over, they all have experience and might be able to help."
Xie Ruyi then slapped her thigh. She was so anxious that she forgot that she could have a few helpers at home.
She slapped Gu Lejia who was still standing there, "Don't stay here, go call your aunts over and tell them that your second sister-in-law is about to give birth."
No matter how unwilling Gu Lejia was, he could only leave with his head down.
Xie Ruyi was still worried, so she ran to the door of the delivery room, said a few words, and hurried towards Li Cuicui's room.
Li Cuicui was sitting in the yard at the moment, peeling the green beans she had just picked, and chatting with Mrs. Song, "Today we're going to use these green beans to stir-fry a dish of meat. Chuncao and Chunya both like to eat them."
Gu Dashi crossed his legs and said, "You are the only one who treats them like treasures. When they grow up, you will have to pay for their dowry. I don't know how an old woman like you can do business at a loss. Wouldn't it be better to keep the money for yourself?"
Li Cuicui didn't even raise her head. "I live and work according to my conscience. It's better to give it to my descendants than to give it to others."
"Isn't it funny that you're like this every time? You start making sarcastic comments as soon as you start talking.
These are all things from the past, and you don’t mind talking about them again.” Gu Dashi felt that he was going to have trouble getting through this day.
