Join?
Chen Jixing blinked and asked, "What do you mean? Let her join the partnership? Take half of the shares?"
"Yes." Zhu Siya nodded and whispered, "I think my little sister has a very good business sense. She knows where to buy something to make the most money."
Chen Jixing chuckled and shook his head: "You are talking too much. She is just smarter than us and has a higher education than us."
"Isn't that enough?" Zhu Siya asked with a smile, "You are all from the same family, and you all know that there are crabs on that island. At most, you know to bring some back and steam them when you pass by. Why didn't you think of bringing all of them back and shipping them to the provincial capital to sell?"
Forehead?
Chen Jixing was slightly embarrassed, but still unwilling to admit that he was too bad.
"The provincial capital is too far away, and the tractor takes a long time to drive... and usually no one dares to go up to the island, and no one knows there are so many big crabs there. Such big ones are really rare, so they can only sell for so much. There will be no chance in the future! At least not in the next two or three years, because some crabs of that size take seven or eight years, or even ten years to grow to that size."
Zhu Siya glanced at him with a smile, and immediately grasped the key point.
"And then? Why do you have so many excuses? You know it, your brothers know it, your dad knows it, but why didn't any of you make any arrangements? The big crabs will be gone in a few years, but Lingling has already made the money."
Chen Jixing was defeated and whispered: "Well, I have to admit that I still have a way."
Not to mention other things, if there was a mistake in that link alone, they would not be able to make any money.
First of all, we must have a boat-driving expert like my dad, otherwise we won’t be able to get close to the island.
Thirdly, there must be sufficient manpower to help tie the crabs to ensure that the crabs can be quickly delivered to the provincial capital while still fresh.
In addition, the tractor cannot run fast, so a driver like Gu Qi is needed to transport the crabs to the provincial capital in a timely manner.
In addition, Ma Dali had been to the provincial capital to sell things secretly, and was very familiar with the market there, so he could ensure that the crabs were sold smoothly one by one.
"Moreover, the day she picked was also special." Chen Jixing analyzed: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone just goes to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and few stay to eat. The second day of the Lunar New Year is different. Every household has an older or younger daughter returning to her parents' home, and the family will inevitably have to entertain them with traditional meat and traditional vegetables. If you can buy some traditional meat or traditional seafood at this time, you won't mind if it's a little more expensive."
Zhu Siya chuckled: "So, although selling crabs may seem simple, I have arranged it in an orderly and comprehensive manner - is this what the idiom means?"
"Yeah." Chen Jixing nodded.
Zhu Siya held his hand and said with a smile: "I can see that Lingling is a genius in business. With a genius sister like her, we must cooperate with her."
Chen Jixing rolled his eyes and asked, "So, Lingling suggested that we make embroidery and sell it abroad - did you finally agree?"
"I agree!" Zhu Siya said coquettishly, "Didn't you say that you've been thinking about it for a few days but still have no idea? Lingling's idea should be better, let's listen to her."
Chen Jixing smiled: "I think so too."
"But we need her to invest." Zhu Siya reminded: "Let her help--"
Chen Jixing couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this: "Lingling has to go to college, get married, and take care of a small family. Maybe she still has time to help us."
"Ask her!" Zhu Siya said confidently, "As long as there's money to be made, Lingling will be interested. If you don't believe me, go find her and I'll tell her in person."
Chen Jixing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even if we don't tell her now, if we need her help, we only need to shout and she will come soon."
"No." Zhu Siya emphasized: "I don't want her to help with the work, I want to cooperate with her. We will go to the factory site, and she will help build the factory. At first, we will run it together, and we will share the profits together, and in the end, it will be 50-50."
Chen Jixing hesitated, his eyes evasive.
"This is a big deal, we can't make a rash decision. We haven't even started yet, so there's no need to be so anxious - right? Let's ask Ling Ling later."
Zhu Siya swept his hand away and jumped out of bed.
"Ling Ling is here right now. I'll go talk to her right away!"
Chen Jixing was shocked and hurriedly hugged her.
"No, no, no! I can't tell you... I can't tell you for now! Wait for a while, there's no rush."
Zhu Siya looked at him suspiciously and reached out to pinch his cheek.
"Old Four, what are you doing? Aren't you the one who loves Ling Ling the most?"
Chen Jixing smiled bitterly: "I... yes, I have always loved her the most. If it was just a matter between us two siblings, then of course there is nothing to say and we can do whatever we want. But - but there are more than just my little sister and I in the family!"
Zhu Siya was confused and asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean?"
Chen Jixing let go of his lover and lazily fell on the bed.
"Xiaoya, how many brothers are there in my family? If I only choose my little sister as my partner, how should I explain it to the other brothers?"
Zhu Siya was confused and asked, "What does it have to do with them? I'm looking for Lingling because I like her business skills and intelligence. Your other brothers don't know how to fish, right?"
Chen Jixing waved his hand and said, "No, you misunderstood. Look at Lingling, she takes everything into consideration, is impartial, and tries to consider the feelings of other family members, so that there won't be any conflicts. For example, the day before yesterday, my fifth sister-in-law didn't go to the island because she was pregnant, but she helped at home. So, my younger sister still gave her a share of the money. You are different, you didn't help from beginning to end, so she can't give. When there are many people, you have to consider the feelings of others."
"... not giving it to me?" Zhu Siya asked suspiciously, "Is it to take other people's feelings into consideration? Who? Other sisters-in-law?"
"Yes." Chen Jixing nodded. "Our ancestors said more than 2,000 years ago that we should not worry about having too little but about having unequal distribution. That is, we should not be afraid of not having anything, but we should be fair and just when distributing it. Like last night, those who deserved more got the same amount, and those who shouldn't have gotten nothing. If my younger sister does this, the other sisters-in-law will feel it is fair."
When my younger sister was making money, she never forgot her relatives around her, whether they were from her mother's family or her husband's family, she took care of them all.
No matter who worked more or less, those who helped would get the same share. Those who didn't work would get nothing.
No one had any objection to her dividing it this way. Instead, everyone was very happy.
Zhu Siya finally reacted and asked, "So, you think we have to invite your other brothers to join us? How is that possible? We don't even know what to do ourselves - your brothers don't know either. To do business, you have to find someone who knows the business, or someone who has money. People who know the business have the skills, and people with money can help with investment. Your brother and sister-in-law don't understand this business, right? They... don't necessarily have money. Since we have nothing, why should we cooperate with them?"
Chen Jixing shook his head: "Even so, we still have to ask. If they don't want it, we can go find Lingling and ask."
"Do you still want to ask?" Zhu Siya muttered, "What if they want it? What should I do? I won't agree!"
Chen Jixing curled his lips and said, "We live in a big family, and sometimes we have to take care of a lot of things, otherwise the relationship between relatives and grandchildren will be easily damaged. To be honest, my brothers and I, including my younger sister, don't care about anything and won't care too much, but I still have a few sisters-in-law."
"What's wrong with them?" Zhu Siya still didn't quite understand.
Chen Jixing laughed softly and teased, "They are just like you. They all come from different families and have had different lengths of contact. For example, you and your fifth sister-in-law, you often dislike each other and secretly compete with each other. My fifth brother and I are both our parents' children. We grew up wearing the same pants. How could we be like this!"
Zhu Siya pouted: "...Okay, then go ask. But you have to make it clear that this is my business and I'm the one investing the money, not you."
"I know." Chen Jixing smiled and said, "I'll ask them one by one. My little sister is the youngest, so I'll ask her last."
"just in case……"
"There's no such thing as a surprise. If you want to do it, my brothers won't agree. I've asked, if you can really make money in the future, even if the sisters-in-law are jealous, they won't say anything."
"Uh-huh."
