Although excited, Qin remained calm. She was just playing around, which was different from running a gambling den.
Moreover, not everyone who knows how to play these games can run a casino. Just because she knows how to play doesn't mean she knows how to manage one. Besides, in her mind, casinos are smoky and chaotic places, and she doesn't know if she can adapt to them.
"Maybe I just got lucky. Besides, I don't know what I need to be careful about when opening a casino. Right now, I just want to take good care of my child."
She spoke calmly, seemingly trying to calm others down, but actually trying to calm herself down as well, since she knew better than anyone how intense her desire to make a name for herself was.
She would be more excited than anyone else if she could open a casino and run it herself.
The problem is whether she can handle the business, whether she can run the gambling den well, and whether she can prevent everyone from losing money.
Most importantly, gambling dens can easily ruin a lot of people if she's not careful. If she really wants to open up, she needs to find a way to prevent these things from happening.
You can play around with it, but don't get addicted, and definitely don't play until you're bankrupt.
Especially since Lu Baichuan's current status is extraordinary, his relatives must be careful in their actions so as not to tarnish his reputation. Naturally, they have to consider things more than others.
"Second sister-in-law is right. A casino isn't something you can just open on a whim. The relationships behind it are incredibly complicated. Even if you were to open one, you'd have to do a thorough investigation first. I've been thinking about opening a jewelry and jade shop anyway. Let's go take a look together after the New Year!"
Lu Guilan seized the opportunity to speak up, explaining that this was something she and her husband had discussed over the past few days.
Although she felt sorry for her husband going to the grasslands because it was dangerous, he insisted on going, and she couldn't stop him, so she could only go along with him.
"Hmm? So you guys all want to go it alone?"
He Jiuniang blinked, pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected that everyone in her family was so ambitious, not stopping at one place, but constantly exploring and moving forward.
"Hehe, I also see that there is indeed a market for jewelry. I'm planning to find a shop in the prefectural city. There are many wealthy people there, so business should be good. Sister-in-law, do you want to invest some money together?"
Lu Guilan didn't ask Shen Shi, because Shen Shi had already decided to work with her. Besides, they were sisters-in-law, and the Zhang brothers both had to travel to the grasslands, so their sources of goods were the same. It would be more convenient for the two families to manage things together.
Of course, this is not a long-term solution. The reason why the two companies started together is that they do not yet know the market situation. Once they have a good understanding of the market, the two companies will still operate separately, like the Lu brothers, each doing their own thing and helping each other, but they do not need to be involved together all the time. They will meet at the top.
Since Lu Guilan asked this question, it meant that she had already made plans. He Jiuniang was very supportive and said, "Of course! I told my brother-in-law before that I would invest in it for you. The high-ranking officials and nobles in the prefectural city and the capital like these gems and spices. You can definitely make a fortune. You can do it with peace of mind."
If it were when they first arrived in Jingzhou, He Jiuniang wouldn't have dared to say such a thing. At that time, the Lu family hadn't seen much of the world and didn't have any special skills. It was impossible to let them do it on their own; He Jiuniang would probably have to do it herself.
But things are different now. Everyone has grown up quickly and is now capable of standing on their own, so she doesn't need to worry about them too much.
Seeing He Jiuniang agree so readily, the others also agreed immediately. No one would miss such a good opportunity to make money. Anyway, they had spare money at home, so it was better to use it to make more money than to leave it at home.
Sun was intrigued and said, "I'll invest some too, since I'm just idling around anyway."
Firstly, it can support my daughter's career, and secondly, it can earn me some money. Why not?
The women settled the matter while playing mahjong, and the men weren't idle either. Lu Lao Er listened to everyone's words and learned about his family's plan to open a gambling den.
Although his wife managed to brush him off, he knew she was really interested. If he were capable, he would still want to help her make it happen. He himself was useless, and he couldn't let his wife suffer as well.
He secretly asked Lu Baichuan, "Third brother, do you think this is reliable?"
Lu Baichuan thought about it carefully and said, "It's feasible, but it won't be easy to do it well. It will inevitably offend some people. Also, many things need to be handled well so as not to leave any room for criticism."
Running a gambling den inevitably involves encountering some shady tactics, which can cause serious trouble if not handled properly. However, Lu Baichuan believed that his second brother and sister-in-law would definitely be able to handle it well.
Although his second brother wasn't very talkative, he was very meticulous in his work. He suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing for his second brother and his wife to open a gambling den; it could be considered another kind of growth.
Lu Lao Er nodded and said, "Well, if you say it's a good idea, then I'll go and take a look after the New Year. If we can open a gambling den in the prefectural city, it will be more convenient for our family to meet."
Lu Lao Er naturally also needs to take care of these assets in the fields, but he doesn't need to check on them every day. He only needs to check on them every three or four days. He can just run around more often when necessary.
The important thing is to stay with the children. He always felt that Youya and Jiezi weren't as close to him since they came back this time.
You can't make money and then become estranged from your children.
There are also his two elderly parents at home, who currently live in the prefectural city. As their son, he should be by their side to fulfill his filial duties, and not always leave them to his younger brother's family.
Lu Baichuan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, as he hadn't told his family that he was going to the capital to take up his post after the New Year.
When I discussed it with my wife before, we said we would tell her on New Year's Eve as a surprise for the family. But now it seems like it's not such a surprise after all.
The eldest brother, second brother, and younger sister have always been following in their footsteps, but he seems to be moving a little too fast.
I just don't know how the parents and the group of kids will choose when the time comes.
Although the children would certainly make better progress by going to school and doing business in the capital, they could not neglect their parents. If they went to the capital, they would have even fewer opportunities to see their parents.
It seems I'll need to discuss the specifics with my wife later, so as not to disappoint everyone.
That night, while lying in bed, Lu Baichuan brought up the matter. He Jiuniang was a bit sleepy from playing mahjong and didn't want to talk about it at all. She turned over and said, "I've already thought it through. I'll tell you when the time comes, and you can just listen. Go to sleep, I'm so tired. I still have to teach my second sister-in-law and the others other ways to play tomorrow!"
She could see Qin's determination to build a career, so she agreed to teach her other games to see if she really had the talent. The others were also very curious, so they agreed to get up early the next day to start playing.
Lu Baichuan: ...
He felt that he was becoming less and less important to his wife.
After he came back, he was either busy eating melons or playing mahjong, and he would get impatient if you talked to him for a few minutes.
So, love can disappear, right?
