"Song Qi, can I ask what you're going to do to Zheng Juan?" Ling Ju was a little nervous. She knew Song Qi was trying to vent her anger, but she didn't want Song Qi's hands to be stained with anything dirty. This could become an invisible bomb that would affect his future.
Song Qi kissed her forehead and said, "Don't worry, I used legal means and channels. I asked her to go to Hainan to pick coconuts. There is a military-civilian cooperation project there, and prisoners can serve their sentences there."
"There's such a project? This is the first time I've heard of it."
"Silly boy, there's still a lot you don't know. Don't worry, I've already spoken to him about this. His forces won't be involved in anything illegal. At most, they'll just be on the fringes and won't affect our family."
"Hey, wait, I have an idea. If Zhen Zhen is Zheng Juan's biological daughter, then they must be related by blood! Do you have a way to collect Zheng Juan's blood?"
Song Qi nodded, "Okay, I'll find someone to arrange it tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go tell Zhen Zhen tomorrow morning. She's been busy in the store lately, and I haven't seen her much these past few days."
"She got up early and went to the store very early, saying that she was very busy during this period. She also came back late after having dinner with Chen Yun in the evening. I guess they were just enjoying some time together."
Song Qi nudged Ling Ju's neck. There was always a special fragrance there that attracted him and he couldn't get rid of it.
"Well, Song Qi, let me tell you about the store's recent profits. Do you want to hear it?"
"you say."
Ling Ju changed her posture and continued, "From the time we opened until now, excluding all the labor, utilities, raw materials, and other miscellaneous expenses, our gross profit in the first month was nearly 3,000 yuan. Of course, the actual gross profit is probably even higher. Our daily sales now remain at around 100 kilograms."
Among them, my second uncle's unit, the Land Bureau, the Tax Bureau, etc., can purchase 100 kilograms every week.
Sales at Sichuan Xiaoxiang are slightly lower, at around 20 bottles (10 kilograms) a day. I understand, however, that Sichuan Xiaoxiang sells at a higher price. My aunt says that's the only way to maintain business for my shop. I offered her 50% of the profits, but she refused, demanding only two bottles of sauce per week.
Starting on the 10th of this month, I'm planning a Spring Festival promotion, lowering prices slightly. By the end of Spring Festival, I'll have recouped all my investment and even made a small profit.
Song Qi calculated, "So your initial investment was about five thousand yuan?"
"Yes, it was less than 5,000 at first. Later, because of the large amount of goods used every day, I bought a small refrigerator. Otherwise, I was afraid that the meat would go bad because of the large amount of meat. It is safer to keep it in the refrigerator."
Song Qi looked at her little face and said, "At first I thought you were just doing this for fun, but I didn't expect you to actually make quite a bit of money. It seems I was right, you do have some business acumen."
"I just watched the pigs run around so much that I gradually got to know what pork tasted like. It's because there was nothing back then, and there was no such thing as a saturated market, that's why it was so easy to make money. If I opened this business forty years later, I'd probably go bankrupt in three months. Haha."
"Is it so severe?"
"Yeah, let's not talk about that. Oh, by the way, I decided to give everyone a raise before the Spring Festival. The store is making a good profit, so I have to be a generous boss. Especially Aunt Zhang, she went there early in the morning and left in the afternoon when she was almost done cleaning up. I think the money she gave her was a bit too little. I'm a Thunder Tiger, I win people over with my virtue. She cares so much about me, so I have to make her happy."
“How much do you plan to raise it to?”
"Well, everyone's salary will increase by ten yuan, and then everyone will receive a red envelope of one hundred yuan as holiday money during the Chinese New Year. Then the holiday will start on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month and end on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Hu Jun and Wu Jian have to go back to Liaoning Province for the New Year. They have to take the train back and then transfer to a bus in the county town to go back to the village. The journey will take more than twenty hours. It's been a long time since they both left Liao Province. Let them have some rest. And Zhen Zhen will definitely go back to Liao Province for the New Year, so she can keep Hu Jun and Wu Jian company."
"It's quite good, the arrangement is very reasonable. The salary is not bad. Just think about how much an officer like me earns a month."
Ling Ju was amused by Song Qi's words. "You can't just count your fixed salary. How much will your dividend be at the end of the year? Last year it was just over 10,000 yuan, and that money hasn't been used yet. I'm spending all the cash I have on hand now. No matter how you look at it, you're richer than me."
Song Qi smiled and said, "What's the point of dividing you and me? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours. I give you my money, so you can spend it however you want. You don't need to ask for my opinion. Since I've already given it all to you, you can spend it as you please."
"Wow, Song Heimian, you're really good. You can say these things easily now."
"Happy wife, happy life."
"Well, Song Qi, I've got one more thing in mind. When the breeding base starts to make a profit, I want my parents to buy a small courtyard in Beijing with the money they earn. That way, when my brother gets married, he'll have his own place to live. And since my dad has always been in charge of the base, I want the money they earn to be in their name. Of course, that's the portion I invested, and Yan Jintang's share will be counted separately."
"I have no opinion on these. I'm not helping, and I'm not qualified to have an opinion. Just make sure you're sure. Of course, if you have any difficulties, you can always tell me. Don't keep difficulties to yourself."
"Don't worry, you don't know me yet, I can't hide anything."
"By the way, my aunt and uncle are going back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow, right? Let's ask them to come over tomorrow. Grandpa and grandma haven't been here for a while. Let's also give Aunt Wang a day off to rest up. We'll call them tomorrow morning. The last time we went to Shanghai, Qian Yue kept saying he wanted to eat the stew my mom made. This little guy has a northern palate."
