The family had a very happy dinner. Zhang Delong was also very happy before, but when he accidentally heard that Yuan Fangguo had bought a big villa, he suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, especially when his daughter had mentioned several times on the phone to him before that Yuan Fangmin’s eldest brother Yuan Fangguo didn’t care about anything, and wanted dividends from both the advertising company and the supermarket, which was more than what the couple had worked hard for combined.
Suddenly, his face fell and he was quite dissatisfied with Yuan Fangguo. In Zhang Delong's view, Yuan Fangguo was just a landlord and a capitalist. All the money he earned was from exploiting his daughter.
Yuan Fangguo's family didn't notice the change in Zhang Delong's expression. They were immersed in the laughter and joy of their family gathering in Chengdu.
However, the happier Yuan Fangguo and the others were, the unhappier Zhang Delong became.
After returning home, he pulled his daughter directly to the balcony.
"Is it true that Yuan Fangmin's elder brother bought a villa?" Zhang Delong asked directly.
Zhang Qiuling nodded, "It's true."
"How dare such a person buy a villa?" Zhang Delong gritted his teeth.
"Dad, the eldest brother bought it with the dividend money." Zhang Qiuling said.
"You mean he bought shares?" Although Zhang Delong had a strong sense of small peasant in his mind, he still had some understanding of the shareholding system under the market economy.
“Yes, he has invested.”
"Then your dad will also join one." Zhang Delong said loudly, fearing that Yuan Fangmin couldn't hear him.
Yuan Fangmin really didn't hear it. When Zhang Delong said this, Yuan Fangmin was typing on the keyboard in the study.
"You want to invest too?" Zhang Qiuling couldn't help but frowned.
Zhang Delong nodded and said loudly, "Yes, I want to join too."
"I'm afraid I can't decide this alone." Zhang Qiuling felt a little embarrassed.
"You're the supermarket boss, and your words don't count. Then let me ask you, who has the final say? Is it that Yuan Fangguo?"
"It's not just him, our two families have the final say."
"Then you also have the right to speak and the right to express your opinion. I will join one." Zhang Delong said.
Zhang Qiuling thought for a moment and said, "Then how much do you plan to invest?"
"One hundred thousand." Zhang Delong thought about it and said seriously.
Zhang Qiuling couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this. Her laughter made Zhang Delong look a little confused. "What? One hundred thousand is missing?"
Zhang Qiuling nodded, "Yes, one hundred thousand is too little."
"Then I'll add another 50,000. I can't take out more than that. You know our family's financial situation." Zhang Delong said.
"Dad, stop messing around. I don't think you can get much dividend out of this 150,000 yuan in a year." Zhang Qiuling said with a smile.
"How much can I get?"
"A few tens of thousands of dollars."
"A few tens of thousands will be enough," Zhang Delong said. "I don't care about anything else. You must get this done for me."
"Let me try. Actually, I don't know how much of the shares you can get with your 150,000 yuan." Zhang Qiuling said with an embarrassed look on her face.
Zhang Delong was a little unhappy. "How could you not know how much shares you own? How much did your supermarket invest?"
"At least two or three million." Zhang Qiuling said after thinking about it.
"What? So much?" Zhang Delong was stunned. He had never expected that the supermarket would invest so much.
"Decades of rent, plus renovations and stocking, it's estimated to be at least two million." In fact, Zhang Qiuling herself was not quite sure how much investment this supermarket had, but the couple only invested a few hundred thousand, most of which was put in by the eldest brother.
"Then I'll take as many shares as I can." Zhang Delong said angrily.
Although Zhang Qiuling had a bad temper and was quite petty, she was still much better than the stubborn Zhang Delong. Seeing that he insisted on buying shares, she didn't dare to agree immediately. She could only laugh it off and deal with her father for the time being.
When they returned to the bedroom at night, Zhang Qiuling told Yuan Fangmin about this incident.
When Yuan Fangmin heard this, he immediately became unhappy. "How is this possible? I asked him to give us some money to start a business, but he refused. Now that he sees the supermarket is making money, he wants to buy shares. Not to mention my eldest brother, even I can't agree."
There was actually another main reason why Zhang Qiuling was wary of her father Zhang Delong, and that was that her elder sister Zhang Qiuli had a similar personality to Zhang Delong. If Zhang Delong became a shareholder, based on Zhang Qiuli's personality, she might also want to buy shares. She worked hard to run the supermarket, but she didn't make much money, but these shareholders who were hands-off managers made a lot of money. Naturally, she was unwilling to do that.
"Then you go and convince my dad?" After all, Zhang Qiuling and Zhang Delong are blood-related father and daughter.
"Why don't you go?" Yuan Fangmin said unhappily.
"You know my dad's character. He's much smarter than me. I'm afraid of showing my true colors in front of him," said Zhang Qiuling.
Yuan Fangmin thought for a moment and said, "That's it. If your dad doesn't ask, ignore him. If he does, just say I was just about to tell you about this. The supermarket has more shareholders than just my brother and I. There are several others. We're outnumbered, so those shareholders will definitely object."
Zhang Qiuling couldn't help but clapped her hands when she heard this, and kissed Yuan Fangmin hard on the face, "Hubby, this is a great idea. I didn't realize you were so smart before."
Yuan Fangmin smiled slightly and thought to himself, you and your dad always treat others as fools. Can you see their smart side?
Zhang Qiuling originally wanted to show off Zhang Delong for a few days, but just as she finished talking about this matter with Yuan Fangmin, there was a knock on the door.
"Little girl, come out, Dad has something to tell you."
"You said you haven't asked yet." Yuan Fangmin quickly whispered.
Zhang Qiuling quickly shook her head. "My dad just asked me to come in and ask. If we say this, we definitely won't be able to hide it from him."
"Okay, then let's do as we just said."
Zhang Qiuling nodded and said, "Don't worry, if I can't win the argument, I will pretend to be stupid." After that, Zhang Qiuling walked out.
"How is it?" Zhang Delong narrowed his eyes, and a greedy green light emanated from his eyes.
"What's going on?" Zhang Qiuling pretended to be stupid.
"I asked you to ask about the supermarket shareholding issue." Zhang Delong seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, this is a bit difficult." Zhang Qiuling sighed.
"Why is it complicated? Just tell me who disagrees." Zhang Delong asked directly.
"Dad, it's like this..." Zhang Qiuling moved a chair over and sat down, and began to tell Zhang Delong the story.
As Zhang Delong listened, his expression suddenly changed.
"So troublesome?"
"Yes, so forget it."
"How about I give you this money?" Zhang Delong said suddenly.
