Chapter 401: Developing the Wine Enterprise
So far, Gong Qiyu has raised a sum of money in his hands, although it is not a considerable amount, but in the current situation, they are very satisfied, at least they can use this money to do something.
After getting this money, he immediately found Ye Ningbai to discuss how to use the money in his hand, "This money may not be much for us, but we can think about how to make good use of it." "
Ye Ningbai was happy for him, but she had no clue how to use this money, "What are you going to do?" She was going to ask Gong Qiyu's opinion.
"I don't have an idea yet." For a while, Gong Qiyu didn't think of a good plan, so he had to propose to keep the money first, "I think it's better to put it first, and then think of a better way in a few days." "
Ye Ningbai also agreed with his approach, and she nodded in agreement, "Since there is nothing lacking and there is no hurry now, let's put it first." "
Since Ye Ningbai had no objections, the two of them decided to take the money and put it in the safe first, and put on the password lock, and at this time, the doorbell rang from downstairs with a ding dong.
"Anyone else visiting here at this time?" Hearing the doorbell, Gong Qiyu couldn't help but feel puzzled, he hadn't notified anyone around him since he came out of the palace house, and it was really strange that someone would come to visit him within a few days.
The guests outside the door seemed to be in a hurry, and the doorbell rang a few times in a row, and Li Xun, who was downstairs, knew that the guests couldn't wait for Gong Qihui and others to come down, so he first responded, "It's here." Then he went up and opened the door.
With the hurried doorbell, she also quickened her pace and hurriedly opened the door, and she could feel that the guests who visited must have something very anxious to see Gong Qixi, otherwise she would not have rang the doorbell several times in a row.
As soon as the door opened, the first thing he saw was a Westerner in a neat suit, and behind him stood several men in black with serious expressions, each of whom had no smile on his face, except for a Westerner in a military uniform.
"Uh...."Although he knew that the other party was a Westerner, Li Xun, who didn't know anything about English, had to ask stubbornly, "Which one?" "
After he saw Li Xun come out, he also politely took off his top hat and greeted her in fluent Mandarin, "Hello, I'm Edward, I came all the way to find Admiral Gong Qixi, is he there?" "
"You look for Young Master Gong Qixi, he is inside, you guys come in first." After learning that the person the other party was looking for was Gong Qixi, she politely asked him to come to the hall first.
The man in the suit who identified himself as Edward nodded. "You're waiting for me here."
Turning around and following Li Xun in, before entering, he also ordered a few black-clothed men behind him to stand outside the door and wait.
Although he has been a servant in a military family for a long time, this Westerner in front of him makes Li Xun always feel that something is wrong, and now Gong Qiyu is no longer a general, since he knows that the young master who used to be a general still comes to the door, he must also be a soldier in the army.
Li Xun, who was a servant, didn't say much, she led Mr. Edward to the hall and sat down, and after a while, Gong Qiyu and Ye Ning, who came down from upstairs, also noticed the guest in the hall.
Seeing the two coming down from upstairs, Li Xun informed Gong Qiyu that there was a guest. "Young Master, a Mr. Edward is looking for you."
"Edward?" Gong Qixi's first reaction after hearing the name was beyond Li Xun's expectations, and it seemed that he was not familiar with this visiting guest.
Edward, who had his back to Gong Qixi, turned around, he was very excited after seeing Gong Qixi, and he stepped forward to hold Gong Qihui's shoulder. "When I finally saw you, I knew that you had left the palace family."
Edward's sudden enthusiasm frightened Ye Ningbai on the side, she had never learned from Gong Qiyu's mouth that he knew a Westerner, and he seemed to be very familiar.
Because Mr. Edward was no stranger to Mandarin, Ye Ningbai deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in Gong Qiyu's ear, "I haven't heard that you know a Westerner." "
Not to mention Ye Ningbai, Gong Qiyu had no impression of the Westerner in front of him, and he pushed Edward's hand away. "Excuse me, but this gentleman are you?"
After Gong Qixi's question, Edward felt that his behavior was a little abrupt. "Rude Admiral Palace, have you forgotten me?"
Hearing Mr. Edward say this, Gong Qihui vaguely felt as if he had seen him somewhere, and when the other party took off his hat, Gong Qihui remembered that Edward was a wounded man he had saved when he was out of the team.
"It's you?!" Recalling that the wounded man he had saved was completely incompatible with the suit-clad Edward in front of him, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"You're completely different from what you were back then."
After Edward's statement, I learned that because of the war, Edward, who was accidentally shot by a bullet, met Gong Qihui in a panic, and when there was a shortage of military doctors, Gong Qihui volunteered to go to the battlefield to save many people.
He had the impression that there were too many wounded at that time, and Edward was one of them, and the most profound thing was that Edward gave him a foreign currency as a thank you gift, so he vaguely felt that Edward was very familiar.
"Then I went back to Portugal and bought an estate to produce wine, and the business grew and now I have wholesale wines all over the world." Edward only knew that he was now a wine merchant, "I happened to be here on a business trip to discuss business, and I heard the news of the Admiral. "
Unexpectedly, Edward made a special visit, and Gong Qixi, who had already left the army, told him the news of his departure. "I'm no longer a general, you can just call me Gong Qiyu."
"Really?" He was very surprised to hear the news that Gong Qiyu had left the army.
After inquiry, he learned that Gong Qihui had not yet made the next step, so he proposed to let Gong Qihui try it and cooperate with him to enter a batch of red wine.
"This one works."
Gong Qihui, who was disrupted by his words, thought that Edward's suggestion could be tried, and since his father had given him a large sum of money before he left, he planned to use it to start a business from scratch.
He looked at Ye Ningbai, who was sitting beside him, and was about to ask her what her opinion was. "What do you think of this as ......?"
Without waiting for Gong Qiyu to finish speaking, Ye Ningbai saw through his thoughts, and she nodded. "I'm behind you no matter what."
"Thank you." Now that Gong Qihui has left the palace family and has a woman and children by his side, of course he has to plan for the next road, for himself and for his family, starting a business, but this road can be the best choice for him.
"What are you thinking about?" Edward asked for their opinions again.
And this time, because of Edward's visit, Gong Qiyu plans to do the wine industry. "Okay, I can give it a try."
I had never been exposed to this knowledge before, and I only knew a little about red wine, but now it might be smoother to have Edward, a wine merchant, by his side to assist in things.
After that, Edward signed a contract with Gong Qihui, and the two reached an agreement to cooperate, and in the next few days, Edward would often visit and discuss red wine with Gong Qihui, because Gong Qihui also made a special trip to Portugal.
Portugal.
They were accompanied by Ye Ningbai, and after arriving in Portugal, the three of them got on Edward's private plane and came to his private estate. "This is where I make my wine."
"Look, there's a lot of cattle there." This time Ye Ningbai was an eye-opener, in addition to Edward's private manor, there were also pastures next door that raised a lot of cattle and sheep.
Edward asked the workers working on the manor to lead them in for a tour, and also tasted several different vintages of red wine, Gong Qihui was also very satisfied, and finally through Edward bought a large number of fine red wines. Because of the relationship between the two, renting a wine cellar to Gong Qiyu is also very cost-effective.
For the sake of this red wine company, Gong Qihuigen did not have any time to stay in Portugal for a while, otherwise it would be rare to go abroad with Ye Ningbai and not enjoy the local scenery.
Because of the time difference, he noticed that Ye Ningbai was also tired, so he instructed intimately. "You rest for a while, board the plane at night, and leave to call you."
Ye Ningbai, who was lying on the bed, heard Gong Qihui's warm words in a hazy way, and smiled from the heart, seeing Ye Ningbai's unconscious smirk, Gong Qihui couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth. "Fool."
"At present, there is no problem with the supply of red wine, the rest is the cost of the wine cellar, and you have paid enough for the red wine, and the rest of the money has to be set aside as a precaution."
Edward also understood his difficulties, and after returning to China, he rented a very cost-effective wine cellar and a fairly eye-catching storefront, but he still had to pay a rent to the landlord every month.
"Thank you so much Edward, you really helped me a lot." It was only a short month to arrange this, and within a month Edward was right to help him, and he didn't stop running around.
In order to find more partners to fund, he also encountered the nobles who made it difficult for Gong Qixi, and Gong Qihui, who left the army, has always been regarded as a laughing stock by people with intentions.
But no matter how many times he touched the nail, the cold eyes of others ignored him, but as long as he thought that the hope of the family was in his body, he knew that he couldn't fall, whenever he wanted to give up, as long as Ye Ningbai's smile appeared in his mind, he would cheer up and prepare for the battle.
That night, Ye Ningbai passed by the study and saw Gong Qiyu sitting in front of the computer and bothering about the affairs of the wine company, and he was very distressed. "It's so late, still looking at the papers."
In order to let him concentrate on his work, she didn't go in for fear of disturbing him to deal with the documents, until the early hours of the morning, Ye Ningbai came to the study again and saw Gong Qiyu lying on the desk Go back to the bedroom and take a quilt to drape behind his back.
She gently stroked his hair. "I'm tired like this."
Seeing him lying on his stomach like a mountain of papers, she stopped by to help him clean up.
For her, silently paying these behind Gong Qixuan's back is insignificant in comparison, and the decoration of the store is also supervised by Ye Ningbai, after all, Gong Qihui is too busy, Ye Ningbai will often take Gong Ruixuan to stare at the decoration of the store and watch the workers move wine.
Although the life of a family of three is simple at present, Ye Ningbai is full of confidence in the future, she always believes that as long as this store is built, it will definitely be bitter.
