Chapter 501 How about we three share a family tree?
"Having said that, I still feel uneasy."
"Just put your mind at ease. I will always be your great-granddaughter. I will respect you and take care of you in your old age." Ye Qianning knew that Gu Jia was stubborn and could only coax her.
As expected, Old Gu laughed upon hearing this: "The little girl is indeed very pleasing to me. Zhan Yi has returned to the Zhan family, so I will move in tomorrow. Such a large mansion cannot do without an adult."
"No need. There are many concubines in the mansion. Besides, no one dares to cause trouble in the general's mansion since the emperor issued the imperial decree." Madam Zhan was frightened because of Xifengying's matter.
Ye Qianning was afraid that she would do something rebellious in the future, which would make her even more worried, so she found a reason to let Zhan Yi and his wife return to the Zhan family.
It’s better not to let them know many things.
"No, I haven't seen you for half a month. I have to stay longer."
"All right."
Mr. Gu was very satisfied.
Gu Shuo didn't speak again. Even if he said ten sentences now, they would not be as effective as the little girl's.
If you want to persuade someone about the family tree, you have to ask the little girl.
"Why are you all gathered together today?" Qian Fu smiled as he glanced at the few people.
"Some business matters." Gu Shuo said.
"Business? With Nan Yuan?"
"Um."
"As for Nanyuan, I heard from Fan Ji that it's not easy to make a living there right now. Have you thought it through?"
"Yes, and the King of Nanyuan wants to raise the price of aquatic products."
"Although Nanyuan is poor, it doesn't mean that people will buy it just by paying some money. It's better not to lower the price too much." Qian Fu is very familiar with the Nanyuan generation.
Upon hearing that his grandson was going to trade with Nanyuan, Old Gu agreed: "When doing business, you have to be open and honest. Nanyuan is where the little girl grew up. The climate and soil nurtured such a beautiful girl. If you raise the price, just raise it a bit. Don't be so stingy."
“…”
"The price is twenty copper coins per pound."
“Twenty just... twenty?” Qian Fu was surprised.
Mr. Gu was also stunned. Twenty copper coins for Nanyuan to buy seafood?
Gu Shuo nodded.
"Grandson, if you really have a lot of money, why not give some to your grandfather? Grandpa doesn't have much money left." Old Gu spoke with a sharp tone.
Gu Shuo: “…”
"Twenty copper coins and they're still trying to raise the price? Does the King of Nanyuan not understand the current situation in his own country?"
Twenty copper coins. The aquatic fish from Beili normally sells for only twenty-five copper coins.
Nanyuan aquatic products are considered expensive at ten copper coins in the local area, and usually they cannot be sold for eight copper coins.
Twenty copper coins per pound and you still want to raise the price?
Are you sick?
"So this business has been put on hold for the time being."
"We have to bet on it. Twenty copper coins per pound. The journey from Shang to Nanyuan is so long, and including transportation, there is no profit at all. It's better not to do this business." Qian Fu was very pessimistic.
Qian Fanji has been busy dealing with the Gu family's affairs recently and has not noticed his business dealings with Nan Yuan.
Without having to think, you know whose attention it is.
She must have been fully prepared for what she wanted to do.
"Nanyuan Aquatic Products has caught up with Beili. After all these operations, a lot of family property will be lost. What are you thinking about?" Old Gu snorted angrily, wishing he could point at Gu Shuo's face.
Gu Shuo did not refute.
"Grandpa, I started this business, so Boss Gu is not to blame." Ye Qianning also let others take the blame.
Gu Lao lowered his head: "You?"
"Um."
"You...little girl, if you want to trade with Nanyuan, Grandfather will help you with some advice. You won't make any money from aquatic products that cost twenty copper coins."
