Chapter 81 Plan ahead
While waiting for the food to be served, Qiao Lixi asked, "Big cousin, do you have any other business besides the restaurant business?" ”
"Yes," said Gu Pingqing, who had been looking for an opportunity to talk to his little cousin, "The three of us brothers have built a wharf and have been operating for a few months, although it is not as good as the business on Chaotianmen's side, but we also have regular customers." My grandfather said that after the year, our wharf will be used exclusively for passenger transportation, and the wharf at Chaotianmen will be used for commercial transportation. ”
Qiao Yixi nodded.
In fact, the wharf of Chaotianmen, passenger transportation and commercial transportation are separated, and my grandfather made this a little more than to give the three cousins a chance to develop, and at the same time, it also systematized the wharf of the Gu family, it seems that the Gu family will continue to develop.
The Gu family's business is not only limited to operating the wharf, but the Gu family was born in the wharf and has dominated Chaotianmen for decades, so when it comes to the Gu family, everyone's first impression is Chaotianmen Wharf.
Over the years, the Gu family has gradually infiltrated other businesses, doing it very low-key, and there is a tendency to make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
"Can I take a stake?" Qiao Yixi asked very directly.
"Little cousin wants to do business?" Gu Pingxin asked.
Qiao Yixi nodded, "I want to do something by myself." ”
"Aunt and Uncle's ......"
"My parents are very supportive, eldest cousin, you also know how deep the water is in Qiao's house. Even if I use my own New Year's money to do business, they will think that my father is pretending to be a public servant and using everyone's money to open a small stove for me. Why should I want them to get involved in my own business? Moreover, I also want to be strong, so strong that I don't have to look at the old witch's face. ”
Several people were slightly stunned, and then reacted to the fact that the "old witch" in Qiao Yixi's mouth referred to Mrs. Qiao.
"Okay, how much silver are Jojo going to take out?" Gu Pingxin had a plan in his heart.
No matter how much silver the little cousin takes, the dividends from the dock are divided into two percent.
This matter will definitely be told to his grandfather and father, according to his estimate, his grandfather will also ask him to take 20% out, and besides, the relationship between his father and his aunt is the best, and he has been talking in their ears since he was a child, and these 20% will definitely not be able to run away. Of course, the most critical point is that he likes his little cousin very much, and in private, several of them know about the situation of the little cousin's family in Qiao's house, so they naturally protect the little cousin.
"I don't have a lot of silver, but I have saved all the money for the New Year's Eve every year, and my eldest cousin helps me calculate how much silver I need. If I don't have a lot of share, just one achievement is enough. When Qiao Lixi said this, she was very unconfident.
She only gives a little silver, and she has to share a 10% dividend, which is indeed thick-skinned enough.
However, she knew that there was hope for this matter, after all, it was easy for her grandfather and two uncles to pass.
If it were according to her own wishes, she would prefer to open a martial arts gym, after all, that is her strength.
However, when eating and drinking are problems, who has the extra money to learn martial arts?
Ordinary people would rather learn a craft, such as carpenter, or blacksmith, why do they learn martial arts?
Defend your home or be a personal bodyguard?
It's so unrealistic.
Still, silver does matter.
Whether it is tearing up his face with the Qiao family in the future, or fighting endlessly with the black suit, without silver, it is difficult to move an inch, and nothing can be done.
"Okay, I'll go back and calculate first, and when we have the accurate number, we'll talk about the rest of the matter." Gu Pingxin is also refreshing, his own business is not so particular, but his brothers also have to settle accounts.
That dock, my grandfather also said, give them a few brothers to play, since it is playing, it is not impossible to bring a little cousin, anyway, after the year, their brothers have other businesses one after another, and they will also bring their little cousin with them when the time comes.
"Let's go to Chaotianmen in the afternoon, little cousin, don't be frightened."
"Isn't it just a dock, is it that powerful?" Qiao Lixi asked deliberately coquettishly.
Even though they were mentally prepared, when the group arrived at Chaotianmen Wharf, Qiao Lixi was indeed shocked.
There is no imaginary heat, everyone is doing their own things in an orderly manner, the workers are busy loading and unloading, the steward and the customer are discussing business matters, and a few people who look like foremen are patrolling their own territory, shouting from time to time.
It's not as noisy as on TV, and I can't wait for the audience to see how hard they work.
yes, that's what it's like to work.
Qiao Lixi looked at the prosperous dock, and a heroic emotion inexplicably rose in her heart.
The people of Yuzhou are like this, everything they do is in a hurry, with a choking smell of chili peppers.
This is a very large wharf, whether it is in ancient times or in modern times, the scale is very large, which shows the ability and strength of the Gu family.
Qiao Lixi took a cursory look.
The terminal is divided into two parts, one for freight and one for passengers.
Passenger transportation is not entirely about transporting people, and the goods consigned by merchants will also be placed in the cabin to save resources.
Qiao Yixi stood on the shore and glanced at it, and in other words, the Gu family was very good.
I really don't know how Qiao Yixi was so stupid before, she didn't use such a good thigh, and she was restrained by Sifang and the old witch.
Over the years, they have taken a lot of good things from her, and it is time to get them back with interest.
"The eldest young master, the second young master, the third young master, Miss Cousin." The steward finally saw a few little people and hurriedly ran over.
"I'll take my cousin around, you're busy with you."
"Yes, young master." The steward responded in his mouth, but how dare he really let these people move around on their own, and called a few assistants to follow a few children.
Taking Qiao Yixi around the dock, Gu Pingxin asked proudly, "Qiaoqiao, what do you think?" ”
"It's much more powerful than the Qiao family."
Although he only looked at the surface, Qiao Yixi quickly came to a conclusion.
The Qiao family is well mixed in Jincheng, but those businesses are basically saturated, otherwise Qiao Xingbang would not have spent so much time developing the market in northern Sichuan.
The Gu family is different.
Regardless of whether it is a merchant or an ordinary person, as long as there is a plan for delivery, receipt, and travel, the business will be delivered to the Gu family, and the business will be properly delivered to the door.
This one alone is several miles away from Qiao's family, where did the old witch get her confidence, and she actually dared to learn from the people in the long house.
Qiao Lixi is no longer entangled in the past, she has more plans waiting for her.
"It deserves to be the first tyrant in western Sichuan."
When the words fell, seeing the strange expressions of several cousins, Qiao Lixi asked, "What, did I say it wrong?" ”
"Jojo, actually...... The Gu family's name of 'No. 1 Ba in Western Sichuan' does not refer to Chaotianmen Wharf. ”
"What's that?"
Several people looked at each other with a smile, very evasive of the question.
Seeing this, Qiao Yixi took the initiative to change the topic, "Second cousin, the eldest cousin has his own restaurant, and you and the third cousin should also have their own business, right?" ”
As the third generation of wealth, the elites among these elites have been strictly cultivated since childhood, and their sensitivity to finance is stronger than that of ordinary people. Business has been instilled since childhood, so to speak, it is something in their bones, and it is even more commonplace to try their skills or something.
"The second brother has his own gold shop, and I have opened a pawnshop." Gu Pingqing couldn't wait to say.
"Fat water doesn't flow to outsiders," Qiao Lixi teased, "Here, the dead pawn sent to the pawnshop will be sent to the second cousin's gold shop to be sold." ”
"Yes, we also think it's very convenient, but we need to be cautious when operating, and the process that should be followed still needs to be followed."
Qiao Yixi understands this.
It's all a business that is not easy to make mistakes or cause trouble, and it's very suitable for a few cousins to try their hands.
"Is there a business Jojo wants to do?" Gu Pingxin held the eldest cousin's shelf and asked thoughtfully.
Qiao Yixi frowned, "I don't have much contact with business matters, so I don't have any ideas, do my cousins have any suggestions?" ”
"If Qiao Qiao wants to try his hand, you can open a few shops on the side of Chaotianmen, first, this is the territory of our Gu family, no one dares to make trouble, and second, with us watching here, you can save trouble. The most important thing for you now is to learn more things, and then collect money, and when you have experience, funds, and your own people, you can toss as much as you want in Jincheng at that time! The old witch can't help you. Jojo, what do you mean? ”
"Big cousin thinks very well, and I think so too."
This sycophant made Gu Pingxin feel very comfortable.
"I'll go back and discuss with my father, and if I have a direction, I'll find a few more cousins to get ideas."
Qiao Lixi has a sense of crisis, it is still unprecedented urgency, she originally wanted to be a rice worm waiting to die, but now look at it, this wish cannot be realized, since this is the case, then simply make it bigger.
With a dark psychology, after Qiao Yixi returned to the Gu family, she secretly found Qiao Xingbang.
"Qiaoqiao, where have you been playing today?" Qiao Xingbang was in a good mood.
When the wife returned to her parents' house, she was in a good mood and her complexion was much better.
Looking at his increasingly ruddy wife, Qiao Xingbang was full of joy.
The relationship between my daughter and a few cousins is also very good, and she is not estranged because she rarely sees each other, and she has more cousins to take care of her, and she will have a little more help in the future. Qiao Lixi has no extra brothers and sisters, she will marry in the future, and when she arrives at her husband's house, if she has anything, she has no extra helpers, even if she fights, she can't find anyone, and she doesn't care about it, and few dare to do it to her master. There are a few cousins to take care of, group beating or something, it's not too easy, the Gu family is tough, he has seen it.
"Well, Dad, Mother, today my cousins and I went to the fish market, and we also went to the snack street to have snacks, and I also went to Chaotianmen Wharf."
"I'm going to Chaotianmen, isn't it shocking." Speaking of her own wharf, Gu Jingshu is also very proud.
Qiao Yixi nodded, "I've never seen such a big pier, there are so many people. ”
"That is, Chaotianmen Wharf is the passage in and out of Shuzhou and Yuzhou, even if the government rebuilds the Shu Road, it is more convenient to enter and exit or water transportation, especially businessmen, almost all choose water transportation. Your uncle has also prepared a painting boat for you, and in two days, we will go and see it together. ”
