"I plan to send two more to the government." Chi Sihai was not a pedantic person.
The most important things in doing business are flexibility and integrity.
If you lack either of these two points, you will find it difficult to achieve great things.
Aunt Chi nodded: "Yes, as long as you know what's going on."
Chi Sihai said, "Mom, our house is small, and I can't just pile up the wood everywhere. So I'm thinking of renting a more spacious yard in town specifically for making these things."
"You've only made a little money, and you're already renting out a yard?"
Aunt Chi was a little worried.
Don't end up losing money instead of making it.
The elders are always cautious and lack courage.
"Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. By the way, this ten taels of silver is for Tangtang, and this five taels is for you, Father and Mother. From now on, I will give half of the money I earn to my younger sister, twenty percent to Father and Mother, and the remaining thirty percent to myself."
These words were clearly something Chi Sihai had thought of long ago.
Even if they are siblings, they can't just take advantage of each other, right?
Hearing this, Aunt Chi smiled broadly: "Oh dear, it's only right that you give some to your sister. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been able to make these things. But your father and I don't need to give you anything. We're happy as long as you're doing well."
"Well, you don't need to give too much to your sister. Your father and I don't want ours; just give your sister 30%. Save the rest for Wulang. He'll need money for his own wedding later."
Listening to his mother subtly nagging him about getting married, Chi Sihai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
There was no response.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll go check out the yard then."
Chi Sihai didn't dwell on this point.
Once he has enough money, he can give it to his parents and sister.
"Okay, go ahead."
Chi Tang returned shortly after Chi Sihai left.
Upon seeing the ten taels of silver, Chi Tang instantly beamed with joy: "Oh my, I love my Si Dede the most!"
Ten taels of silver!
The chubby little girl was unceremoniously put into the space.
She still needs start-up capital to make soap.
"You have so many favorite people, girl." Aunt Chi also hid the five taels of silver, without trying to hide it from her daughter.
Chi Tang took a bottle of water from the refrigerator in the small courtyard, sipped it, and then asked, "Mother, how's Fourth Brother's hand-cranked fan coming along? And the ice chest too."
Both of these are summer essentials!
She only remembered a few days ago that this is perfect for summer!
"Your fourth brother said to study the hand-cranked fan first. He's made some progress. There's no time for the ice chest this year, so we'll do it next year."
He plans to rent a courtyard to specialize in selling these things. He also needs to teach apprentices how to make fan carts and research hand-cranked fans himself, so he doesn't have the time.
That's right, Chi Sihai has already taken on two apprentices.
One of them is Shiro.
Silang really didn't want to study, and after pleading with his family several times, they finally agreed to let him stop going to school.
However, he is also required to at least learn some words so that he can read letters normally.
Later, when Shiro saw Chi Sihai making a fan-shaped car, he became very interested and, with occasional guidance from Chi Sihai, he almost made two small chairs himself!
So later, they simply had Shiro become Chi Sihai's apprentice.
Another apprentice was Tian Niangzi's son, who was twelve years old and at the age when he learned things quickly and still had some strength.
Therefore, Chi Sihai now entrusts the management of many fan-made vehicles to Tian Niangzi's son, Tian Laibao.
Tian Laibao is focused, diligent, and hardworking, and learns quickly, but he lacks interpersonal skills. Therefore, when someone orders a custom-made fan truck, Chi Sihai still has to entertain him.
In this respect, Shiro is much better than Tian Laibao.
"Oh, making hand-cranked fans is pretty good. You can make a lot of money that way."
Chi Tang nodded.
Now that the weather is hot, only a few families can afford ice, so hand-cranked fans are sure to make money!
After all, hand-cranked fans are inexpensive, and if you add ice, they will be even cooler!
Therefore, both the rich and the poor are willing to buy it.
"How are things going with your and Ya-jie's procedures?"
Aunt Chi really didn't expect this.
The first person in the family to open a shop and start a business was actually her daughter, who was only a little over one year old!
Well, it's a partnership, I suppose.
Huo Yajie provided the money, manpower, and shop space, while her daughter offered the ideas.
The profits are split 50/50.
"It's almost done, we just need to wait for the renovation to be finished."
Because Chi Tang considers herself a modern person, her aesthetic sense may not align with that of ancient people, so Miss Huo Yajie was put in charge of the renovation.
The young lady is so happy now, busy with decorating and arranging everything every day...
She would occasionally say something like, "Let's have a grand opening sale! There will be discounts for the first three days."
Or maybe a half membership card would offer discounts.
How much do you deposit, how much do you get as a bonus?
As soon as these words were spoken, Miss Huo Yajie immediately perfected them!
She really didn't expect that the young lady was so smart, understanding things so quickly.
"Tsk tsk, you two think you can really open a soap shop? ...Hey, Tangtang, since you're already opening a shop, why don't you put one of the hand-cranked fans your fourth brother makes there? Or have your third brother sell popcorn in your shop, so he won't have to walk around the streets every day and get all tired."
It's hot now.
The third son has visibly lost weight and gotten darker.
However, I felt more energetic.
Chi Tang refused in her childish voice: "How can you lump those together?"
