Brother Shi Er took a deep breath. Actually, he didn't have any special ideas. The production team had implemented a work point system before. In order to earn work points and reduce labor intensity, he got the job of a scorer. But if you really say how much he likes this position, that's definitely not the case.
"Pomegranate, I really don't know what Second Brother likes particularly, but what do you think of Second Brother doing business in the future?"
Brother Shi didn't know who had heard him say, "Business is like a battlefield, where people kill without shedding blood." It was really exciting, and perhaps this would help him regain his passion.
Shi Liu nodded secretly in her heart. Second Brother Shi was very smooth and eloquent, and he was definitely a good businessman. However, he said, "Second Brother, what kind of business are you planning to start? My eldest brother will open a wood carving shop, and my third brother will open a restaurant."
Brother Shi Er remembered that the whitening cream made by the eldest sister was very popular. Those women were really willing to spend money to whiten their skin, and they all kept their mouths shut. Although there were many people buying it, no one was shouting outside. Everyone was afraid of being discovered by the pigeon club.
"Big sister, um... Second brother wants to cooperate with you, it's about that whitening cream..."
After saying this, Second Brother Shi grinned awkwardly. In fact, with the efficacy of the whitening cream, anyone who sold it would make money. He had taken advantage of the eldest sister a little. However, he would definitely give the eldest sister more dividends when the time came, and he would just take some hard work fee.
After school started, Shi Liu was busy studying. As for the whitening cream business, she had handed it over to her mother early on. However, the family only kept one-tenth of the profits. It's fair to say that without this income, the Shi family would have been broke after building their house. As for Shi Liu's share, Su Sanlan worried she'd spend it all, so she helped her save it.
If it wasn't for Second Brother Shi mentioning this, Shi Liu would have forgotten about the whitening cream. One has to admit that Second Brother Shi's mind works very quickly.
"Of course, I was planning to find someone to cooperate with me. It would be great if Second Brother is interested. I also have a beauty secret recipe that I can use in the future."
Shi Erge was immediately delighted. It seemed that the ancient book that Damei found last time was not ordinary. "Damei, thank you, Damei. I will give you 70% of the profits in the future."
Su Sanlan frowned when he heard this and wanted to open his mouth to scold.
Seeing this, Shi Liu quickly smiled and nodded. "How can I get 70% of the profits if I only provide a secret recipe? How about this? I'll pay for the store opening costs, and you just need to be responsible for the management."
The main reason why Second Brother Shi hesitated at the beginning was because he was short of money. Now that the eldest sister solved the problem with just one word, he was really happy. But in this case, how could he have the nerve to ask for a 30% profit.
Su Sanlan couldn't help herself this time: "Shi Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you pay for all the expenses of opening a shop?"
Shi Liu knew that Su Sanlan was doing this for her own good, but she was not short of money. If she really treated her second brother like an ordinary clerk, then that would be against the brother-sister relationship.
"Mom, we're all family, why bother with so much? If my second brother doesn't take good care of the business in the future, you can deal with him later."
Seeing her daughter's determined look, Su Sanlan gave up and said sternly to the second son, "Your sister gave all the money out of love for you. You can't be an ungrateful person. Follow your sister's lead in the future."
She was worried that the second son would not be able to resist the temptation and snatch the daughter's secret recipe. Anyway, there was no way to prove that it belonged to the daughter, so she had to let the second son and his wife know about Shi Liu's efforts.
Shi Erge and his wife naturally didn't know Su Sanlan's plan. Hearing this, they looked at Shi Liu with gratitude.
Mrs. Shi Er said excitedly, "Mom, don't worry, we definitely won't be ungrateful. If the child's father dares to be an ungrateful person, I will..."
"Hmm——" Su Sanlan's eyes were fixed on Mrs. Shi San.
Shi Ersao was so frightened that she shuddered. Why did she just talk nonsense while drunk? Even though the mother-in-law loved the sister-in-law more, when the daughter-in-law and the son were put together, she would definitely like the son more.
Shi Erge glanced at his wife speechlessly. His wife was arrogant when she was proud and dared to say anything: "Mom, don't worry, I will cover the expenses of my eldest sister in the future."
Su Sanlan nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."
Shi Liu was worried that her family might leak the news, so she quickly reminded them, "No documents have been issued yet on this matter, so please don't let anyone know. Just keep it to your family."
Seeing that all the members of the Old Shi family nodded cautiously, Shi Liu continued, "It's still unclear when this will be accomplished. Brothers, don't worry. Just focus on improving yourself."
"Second brother, I will give you a book about business. You must read it carefully." Sometimes, just because your product is good, it won't last long. It also requires the efforts of the operator.
Shi Erge had no objection to this. He had not read much and knew that he had many obvious shortcomings compared to those families with a long history of learning. The eldest sister was the smartest person in the family, and it would never be wrong to listen to her, so he planned to study the books given by the eldest sister carefully before the market opened.
Seeing that his second brother had taken it in, Shi Liu warned him again, "Be careful when you read, don't let outsiders see you."
Second Brother Shi was stunned. It turned out that what his younger sister wanted to give him was a "banned book". However, he didn't think his elder sister would harm him. If he couldn't read it openly, then he could just read it secretly. It wasn't a big deal.
Mentioning "banned books," Su Sanlan thought of the town's Pigeon Club and said mysteriously, "Shi Liu, almost all the members of our commune's Pigeon Club were kicked out!"
Shi Liu really didn't know about this. After she dealt with the gangster who indirectly killed the original owner, she stopped paying attention to the Pigeon Club. She didn't expect that in less than a year, that group of scum would fall.
Suddenly, Shi Liu thought of the last time Deng Yue came to find her. Could it be that those scumbags were related to: "Mom, is this related to what happened a while ago?"
Su Sanlan hadn't expected her daughter to know the inside story. "Yes, they say they're involved in the illegal eating and drinking scheme. All the profiteers in the commune are under their control. Every year, the tributes from those profiteers alone make them very fat."
Brother Shi was on his way to the commune to buy something when he encountered this incident: "That group of people had guns in their hands. When they were arrested, they resisted. One unlucky guy was injured. I heard that his leg was broken."
Mrs. Shi said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, your eldest brother hid quickly when he saw the situation was not good. If he was like that unlucky guy who joined in the fun, he would probably be the one with a limp." She heard that the scum was very close to her man at that time.
Shi Liu was also shocked: "Brother, why didn't you tell me this before? This is so scary."
Su Sanlan shook his head and said, "Why should I tell you? Your elder brother is fine anyway." Then he glared at the eldest couple. He had told them not to tell Shi Liu, but the couple actually let the cat out of the bag.
Seeing this, Shi Liu quickly changed the subject: "You absolutely can't just join in on this kind of fun. I've heard that many people who enjoy the fun have been kidnapped by criminals, and most of them ended up injured." (End of this chapter)
