Chapter 185
Qiao Jiahui's family made comparisons and chose the bicycle business among many businesses.
Because the gross profit margin of bicycles can reach 50% or even 60%.
This is already very high.
But now Jiang Meishu told him, could there be a higher one?
Jiang Meishu smiled mysteriously. "Jiahui, I can tell you don't understand the power of women. There's an old saying that goes, 'The easiest money to make in this world is from women and children.'"
"And these clothes are considered women's. Then there are those for the elderly, children, and men. So, I'm asking you, compared to bicycles, do clothes have a wider sales audience?"
Don't look down on those who sell clothes.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Clothes are in front.
Qiao Jiahui frowned, "How much can a piece of clothing sell for?"
Young Master Qiao looks down upon the clothing business.
Jiang Meishu didn't want to talk to him anymore. This guy was a rich second-generation, but why was he so stupid when it came to doing business?
She simply changed the subject, "If I invest in the Li Garment Factory, can you get someone to protect us?"
"At least we can't let Director Li from the Street Office mess with our garment factory."
"I won't let you protect me in vain. Every year—" She glanced at Li Wenjuan, who understood immediately, "Five thousand."
Jiang Meishu said, "Well, I'll give you 5,000 yuan a year as protection money."
Compared to giving out shares, protection fees are obviously lower.
However, this also excludes Qiao Jiahui, who is indeed a very good entry point.
Rich, powerful and well-connected.
Qiao Jiahui was a little unconvinced, "Don't try to fool me, the garment factory can only give me 5,000 yuan in protection fees a year? Are you kidding me?"
His Hongtai hasn't made 5,000 yuan yet and is still making a loss.
Although Qiao Jiahui is a rich young man, he only has money for investment, and his pocket money is only 500 yuan a month.
Very little.
The Qiao family has strict family traditions and can invest in houses and cars as they please, but when it comes to pocket money, they are afraid that the younger generations will learn bad habits, so they don’t give much.
Of course, this is not much compared to rich people. For ordinary people, 500 yuan of pocket money a month is equivalent to their annual income.
No eating or drinking.
Jiang Meishu, "Qiao Jiahui."
She yelled, "What's the gross profit margin on bicycles?"
"Fifty, sixty at most."
Jiang Meishu went to see Li Wenjuan and asked, "Tell him, what is the gross profit margin of the clothes?"
Li Wenjuan hesitated, "It varies from 50% to 200%."
"What?"
Qiao Jiahui was shocked, and then he subconsciously retorted, "That's impossible."
Li Wenjuan hummed, "I took over the garment factory a year and a half ago and bought a thousand-square-foot house in Central and Mong Kok, Hong Kong."
Qiao Jiahui, “…”
Qiao Jiahui, “…”
He knew very well how much housing prices were in Hong Kong.
He has been out gaining experience for three years, and not only has he not bought a house himself, he has also invested all his original capital for starting a business.
So, Qiao Jiahui really didn’t believe it.
He asked suspiciously, "Didn't your family buy it for you?" He had three houses in his name, but they were all given to him by his family.
Li Wenjuan smiled bitterly, "I have a stepmother. I took the garment factory from my stepmother and my biological father. Do you think they will give me subsidies?"
Qiao Jiahui was shocked after hearing this. "Bullshit."
"Even if you were placed in the Li family in Hong Kong, you would be able to survive." In Qiao Jiahui's opinion, a combative person like Li Wenjuan is perfectly suitable for being put into the internal fighting of wealthy families.
She is absolutely outstanding in every way!
The kind that can strangle a scumbag father to death!
Li Wenjuan admitted, "I was desperate, so my father surrendered. But he's doing well now, and I've built up the garment factory. To be honest, I won't be able to compete with him again."
"So I need outside help."
"Mr. Qiao, if you are willing to join the Li Garment Factory, I am willing to give you 30% of the shares. The same goes for Miss Jiang."
"You two will each take 30%, and I'll take 40%."
"I want absolute control."
Although she has given up her rights and interests, the main body still belongs to her.
Qiao Jiahui was a little moved.
Jiang Meishu felt that Li Wenjuan had suffered a loss, "Why don't you give up the Li Garment Factory and start over?"
"That way you'll have complete control of the garment factory, and you'll also be able to get rid of that scumbag dad of yours."
Li Wenjuan shook her head. "The Li's Garment Factory sign was passed down from my grandmother's generation. I can't throw it away."
If she could escape, she would have left long ago.
But I can't leave.
There are always things in life that people care about besides money.
Li Wenjuan cared about the signboard left by her ancestors, at least it would not be destroyed in her hands.
Jiang Meishu understood now. She sighed and said, "I have no problem. I just want to know how much I need to invest for a 30% stake."
Li Wenjuan thought for a moment, "It cost less than 300 yuan to build the Li Garment Factory. Now, with the workers, machines, and profits, we can make over 100,000 yuan a year."
When Qiao Jiahui heard this, he spit out the water he had been drinking. "Tell me, how much profit does your garment factory make?"
Li Wenjuan was a little confused. She replied, "A conservative estimate is over 100,000. What's wrong?"
Qiao Jiahui wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Liang Qiurun beside him. "Brother Qiurun, I feel like all the profitable businesses in the world are being taken away by others."
He's a money-loser.
Always doing business that loses money.
The bicycle factory is his third business venture.
Liang Qiurun was quite open-minded. He said calmly, "If Hongtai does well in the future, the profits will be quite high. There's no need to belittle yourself."
After one week at Hongtai, he had almost completely figured out Hongtai's foundation.
Although the newly built factory is making some losses, it is much easier to operate than the old meat processing plant, which is an old factory with old accounts, old people and old rules.
When working at the meat processing plant, Liang Qiurun had to be extremely energetic and work overtime every day to solve those old problems.
Problems can be solved, but people are difficult to solve.
Liang Qiurun can change problems, but he cannot change people, just like this reform.
People are the root of the problem. The past welfare benefits and the practice of slacking off and getting paid have made everyone accustomed to it.
They do not accept reform or change. They would rather wait for things to rot and become smelly and be streamlined in the future than change the status quo.
But Hongtai does not have these problems.
The factory is a new one.
People are new.
The same goes for those workers. The longest time they have worked there is only one and a half years. For Liang Qiurun, these are easy to solve.
So, he is really confident about Hongtai's profitability.
He is even more confident than the boss Qiao Jiahui.
After Qiao Jiahui finished listening, he looked at Liang Qiurun, then at Li Wenjuan, and said, "What a bullshit."
"You are all so arrogant."
They are all so amazing.
No, it should be said that the people around him are so powerful that he looks like a waste.
"Then..." Qiao Jiahui hesitated, "Brother Qiurun, do you think I should invest in this garment factory?"
Liang Qiurun looked at Qiao Jiahui like this and sighed, "Invest."
"My lover is in there, I won't cheat you."
He suddenly understood why he was so worried when he met Old Joe fishing on the beach the last time he went to Hong Kong.
Having such a son makes him very worried.
At this moment, Liang Qiurun actually felt that Liang Rui was quite outstanding.
Liang Qiurun, who was in class far away, sneezed and thought he was catching a cold. Little did he know that his father was complaining about him.
After listening to Liang Qiurun's advice, Qiao Jiahui did not hesitate and said, "Then I will invest."
"Boss Li, roughly how much money should each person invest?"
Li Wenjuan said, "I'll take 100,000 as the base. I'll take 40%, and you two will each take 30,000."
When Qiao Jiahui heard that 30,000 was not a lot, of course this was equivalent to an investment.
"Then I'll call my dad and ask him to transfer some money to me." He turned and looked at Liang Qiurun with his dog eyes. "But, Brother Qiurun, you have to help me prove that I'm using this money for investment, not for a life of luxury."
Even though Qiao Jiahui is 24 years old, he still does not have the right to control large sums of money in the Qiao family.
But Liang Qiurun has it.
This is such a sad thing.
Liang Qiurun hummed, "Let me tell you."
"Lao Liang."
Jiang Meishu hesitated, "We don't have that much money."
She had saved more than 110,000 yuan at the beginning, and this time she invested 100,000 yuan in Hongtai, leaving her with more than 10,000 yuan.
It's still some distance away from the 30,000 that Li Wenjuan mentioned.
Liang Qiurun, "I'll find a way."
"ah?"
Jiang Meishu didn't understand where he got the idea from. After all, in Jiang Meishu's eyes, Liang Qiurun didn't even have five dollars on him.
Because all the money is with her.
"Forget it, don't look for anyone else. I'll go find someone to borrow it from."
Jiang Meishu turned around and hung up the phone with Jiang Meilan, deliberately avoiding Liang Qiurun, "Sister, how much money do you have? Can you lend me some?"
Jiang Meilan coughed lightly and asked Wang Limei to call Aunt Li out to chat. Then she lowered her voice and asked, "How much do you want?"
Jiang Meishu did not hide it, "I found an opportunity and planned to invest in the Li's Garment Factory. I only have 13,000 yuan in my hand."
Jiang Meilan didn't ask her where the remaining money went.
As a sister, I still trust her.
If her sister said she only had 13,000 yuan on her, then she was counting all the money she had.
"I need to save money for business, at least 8,000."
"I estimate that we can withdraw 11,000, which is the limit."
She even included the money from her family's braised pork offal stall.
Jiang Meishu said, "Enough is enough."
"I'll think of other solutions."
However, before Jiang Meishu could come up with a solution, Liang Rui called her in the evening and started to scold her, "Jiang Meilan, don't you consider me one of your own?"
Jiang Meishu was a little amused and asked, "Why do you say that?"
She knew Liang Rui's character, and whenever he called her by her full name like that, he must be angry.
Liang Rui, "I heard someone say you're short of money?"
"You're short of money, but you don't come to me and Liang Feng. Don't you know we have money?"
Jiang Meishu said frankly, "I'm sorry, how can an elder ask a younger person to borrow money?"
"Sorry, what the hell." Liang Rui was so angry that he cursed, "You still don't treat me as one of your own."
He was so angry that he wanted to hang up the phone, but then he remembered that he hadn't done anything important.
"I still have 8,500 here," he said. "I gave the remaining 3,000 to Shen Zhanlie. That's the money he's going to use to purchase goods. If it's not enough, I'll go get the money back. I won't be involved in this business anymore."
He got a little over 10,000 yuan last time, but later on, he had to purchase goods, keep the goods in stock, and pay for tuition and living expenses. He even used the money he had on him to honor Liang's mother and Wang Limei after Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun left.
It’s just that Jiang Meishu didn’t know about these things.
Jiang Meishu was moved when she heard this, "Liang Rui, thank you."
This child is very useful at the critical moment.
Liang Rui felt a little uncomfortable, "Without you, I wouldn't be able to save so much money."
"By the way, what business are you doing this time? Can you take me with you?"
This kid is very smart.
When he saw that Jiang Meishu wanted so much money this time, he could guess with his toes that this was definitely a big deal.
Jiang Meishu shook her head. "I can't take him with me. It was just a coincidence that I became a shareholder. It was by luck that Boss Li let me join."
It would be inappropriate to call someone else over, so she called Liang Rui. She had to call her sister instead.
But Qiao Jiahui is different.
They need to rely on Qiao Jiahui's power and also need Qiao Jiahui's reputation, as they will sell clothes to Hong Kong in the future.
Liang Rui wasn't disappointed after hearing this. He was just envious. "You actually bought shares in the Li Garment Factory?"
Liang Rui, a freshman in high school, often went to Jiangnan Fang's university. He borrowed Jiangnan Fang's library card and went to the library to read economics books.
These books are rarely available outside, but they can be found in the library of HKUST.
It can be said that the economic knowledge Liang Rui absorbed in such a short period of time was even more than what he learned in his high school textbooks.
Of course, the main thing is interest.
Jiang Meishu was also surprised, "You actually know the word 'shares'?"
In her opinion, high school textbooks should not teach these things.
Liang Rui snorted, "I not only know about shares, I also know that limited stocks will appreciate in value."
"Comrade Jiang, tell me, our society restricts everything. Will all these things increase in value in the future?"
This kid is very smart and can draw inferences from one instance.
Jiang Meishu was startled after hearing this, "Liang Rui, is there anyone with you?"
Liang Rui took a look and said, "No, Liang Feng went out to sell things, and my grandma hasn't come back from her walk yet, so I'm the only one at home."
He made a long-distance call, so I wonder how much his phone bill will be this month.
Can he afford it?
Jiang Meishu breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't say that again, at least not outside."
Liang Rui's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly, "I was right, wasn't I?"
When he was reading economics, he found this sentence interesting: restrictions will inevitably lead to appreciation.
Now there are restrictions on housing and supplies.
Does this mean that it will appreciate in value in the future?
Jiang Meishu hummed, "Come over during the summer vacation, and I'll explain it to you."
"But now." Her tone became more serious. "Liang Rui, you just need to take a look at it now. You can't express any opinions outside."
"Your current goal is to study hard and get into a good university."
Liang Rui naturally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Meishu did some calculations. She had 10,000 to 30,000 yuan, her sister borrowed 11,000 yuan, and Liang Rui had 8,500 yuan.
The total amount is more than 30,000.
Jiang Meishu didn't ask for that much, and finally borrowed 8,500 from Liang Rui and a few thousand from her sister.
The main reason is that Liang Rui is a student and currently has few places to spend money. Her sister Shen Zhanlie resigned and is doing business full-time, so she naturally has a lot of working capital.
The three parties came together.
In just two days, Jiang Meishu handed over 30,000 yuan to Li Wenjuan. At the same time, Qiao Jiahui also gave the money for investment.
However, what surprised Qiao Jiahui was, "Sister-in-law, how come you are so rich?"
He still had to ask his father for the 30,000 yuan. With Liang Qiurun's testimony, his father asked the finance department to send him the 30,000 yuan.
But what about Jiang Meishu?
She said she was going to borrow money, and in just two days, she had the money. Qiao Jiahui is no longer the same Qiao Jiahui who first came to the mainland.
He had been in Guangzhou for a long time, so he naturally knew that fifty cents was enough for an ordinary person's daily living expenses.
As for the 30,000 yuan, that is money that an ordinary person cannot earn in his entire life.
Jiang Meishu glanced at him and said, "Yes, that's me."
"Unlike you," she sighed, jealously. "You can just make a phone call and open your mouth and you'll have money."
Qiao Jiahui said, "I was scolded, and I was scolded to bits."
Jiang Meishu said sourly, "I'm so envious. Just getting scolded can earn you 30,000 yuan."
Qiao Jiahui was so angry that he turned to look at Liang Qiurun, "Brother Qiurun, please take care of her."
Liang Qiurun was helpless, "She is the one who takes care of me in our family."
Qiao Jiahui, “…”
This life is unbearable.
He paid the money and left without asking about the follow-up. Jiang Meishu was left to clean up his mess, but she wasn't angry. She just liked this kind of partner: a simple person with lots of money and few problems.
Jiang Meishu asked Liang Qiurun to go back and get busy, while she discussed the follow-up matters with Li Wenjuan, and the two parties signed a contract.
She invested 30,000 yuan, which is 30 percent.
Looking at the contract, Jiang Meishu took another copy and said, "I'll bring it to Qiao Jiahui later and ask him to sign it."
Li Wenjuan hummed, "Remind him to say hello up there."
"So that my father won't embarrass me again."
Jiang Meishu asked, "How do I fight?"
She has never done such a thing.
Li Wenjuan thought for a moment and asked, "How about asking him to come and support us?"
Qiao Jiahui, who had left with Liang Qiurun, couldn't help but sneeze, "Brother Qiurun, your wife must be plotting against me."
"Absolutely."
Liang Qiurun's forehead twitched, "Don't swear."
Qiao Jiahui uttered an "oh" and said after a while, "Why do I feel like you're even stricter than my dad?"
"How about I stop asking you to call me Qiu Run Brother and call me Qiu Run Dad instead?"
Is this a good or bad thing?
Liang Qiurun raised his eyelids and said, "If you are not afraid of being beaten to death by Lao Qiao, then just shout."
Qiao Jiahui shrank his neck.
Liang Qiurun was annoyed by his noise, so he asked, "Have you signed the contract? Are you coming with me?"
Qiao Jiahui then remembered that he had only given the money and had not signed a contract. He slapped his head and said, "No."
Liang Qiurun, "..."
The stupid son of a landlord must be Qiao Jiahui.
He sighed, "Go sign the contract." He seemed to be more thoughtful than Qiao Jiahui, "Also, think about how to get involved and protect the Liang Garment Factory."
Qiao Jiahui was about to leave with him, but he said dejectedly, "Oh."
He was then driven back to the Li Garment Factory.
Jiang Meishu and Li Wenjuan were discussing something when Qiao Jiahui came back. She casually said, "You're back just in time. Come in and sign this contract."
Qiao Jiahui took the contract, glanced at it casually, and then quickly signed his name.
That glance definitely didn't last more than three seconds.
Jiang Meishu endured it again and again, "Aren't you afraid that this is a contract to sell your body?"
Qiao Jiahui, "Ah?"
"You want to buy my body?"
"Don't you think I'm useless?"
These three questions confused Jiang Meishu. Isn't there someone like Qiao Jiahui in this world?
Jiang Meishu took a deep breath and smiled, "How can you be useless? Aren't all your organs intact? I'll sell you to Myanmar. You're a treasure from head to toe."
Qiao Jiahui, “…”
Qiao Jiahui immediately began to look through the contract. Fortunately, he had graduated from junior high school, otherwise he would not even be able to understand the contract.
After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister-in-law, stop trying to scare me."
Jiang Meishu didn't really want to talk to him, but she had to say, "Sister Wenjuan and I have discussed this and want you to do it in a more ostentatious way, preferably so that Lao Li can know about it right away."
Qiao Jiahui tilted his head, "Show off?"
"Shall I perform a lion dance for him?"
He had learned it specially for his grandfather's birthday and he danced quite well.
Jiang Meishu, "..."
She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Qiao Jiahui, be serious."
When she first met him, she thought Qiao Jiahui was a very good rich second-generation.
After getting to know him, she felt that Qiao Jiahui was a fool.
Qiao Jiahui felt wronged, "I'm serious."
"I'll hire a lion dance troupe and perform it all the way from the Li Garment Factory to where your father works."
"This way, not only will your father know that I, Qiao Jiahui, am protecting the garment factory, but everyone on Gaudi Street will know too."
"If they dare to attack the Li Garment Factory again, they should also consider my reputation as Qiao Jiahui."
Don't look at him as a fool.
When planting lotus flowers, he was really ruthless.
Jiang Meishu and Li Wenjuan looked at each other and found that this method seemed to be really feasible?
"Wouldn't that be too ostentatious?"
Doesn't this announce to the whole world that the Li Garment Factory is under the protection of the Qiao family?
Qiao Jiahui was speechless, "Didn't you want to show off a little?"
"It seems so."
Li Wenjuan thought for a moment and said, "Just do as Young Master Qiao said."
Li Wenjuan has always respected Qiao Jiahui. No one who knows the Qiao family's background will look down on Qiao Jiahui.
Of course, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun are exceptions. They both have an indescribable feeling towards Qiao Jiahui.
It’s not that I look down on you.
It’s not really that I value it.
It's more like looking at the stupid son of a landlord.
Hearing that she agreed, Qiao Jiahui immediately said to Jiang Meishu proudly, "Sister-in-law, look, even Boss Li agrees."
Jiang Meishu said, "Okay."
"Then you will be responsible for swaggering."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Qiao Jiahui smiled proudly, "I don't know anything else, but showing off is a skill I was born with."
Jiang Meishu hummed twice, and Qiao Jiahui was a little dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Li Wenjuan noticed something and immediately asked, "Do you want to see the monthly account books?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they were recognized by Qiao Jiahui and Jiang Meishu.
Li Wenjuan handed over the account book, "This is half a year's income."
Jiang Meishu looked down and saw the number above.
Jiang Meishu, “!”
Oh my god, I’m rich!
