Chapter 33: Ren Tingting's decision
Before Duan Qianxing could speak, Ren Tingting hurriedly changed the topic, "Uncle, let's sit down and talk, regarding the sale of the industry, we have to come up with a charter as soon as possible." β
Ren Fu just asked casually, but he didn't insist, and after sitting down, he said straight to the point, "Tingting, you have to think clearly, those industries are all your father's hard work back, if you sell them easily, ......"
Ren Tingting pursed her lips, "I've thought about it, now I'm the only one in the family, I'm alone, and the industry is too scattered, which is bound to be taken advantage of by those competitors, so it's better to shrink the strength first and focus on the development of Renjia Town." β
She had never been in contact with the Ren family's business, and it was not easy to think of this layer.
Ren Fu nodded as soon as he groaned, but at this time, Qian Xing said, "Tingting, it's very rare that you can think of this, but have you thought about it, Renjia Town is just a small town at best, and putting all the Ren family's business in the town is too narrow, and if it goes on like this, it will only die slowly." β
Ren Tingting was stunned when she heard this, but Ren Fu's eyes lit up, "Young man, you are very far-sighted." β
Although Ren Tingting didn't quite understand it, when she heard her uncle praise him like this, she couldn't help but look slightly happy, "Brother Duan, what do you say you should do?"
Duan Qianxing didn't answer and asked, "What is the Ren family's business?"
Ren Tingting thought for a while, "There are a lot, and the main ones that make money are cloth villages, rice grain, jewelry, rouge gouache, restaurants, and ...... There are also several brothels and smoke houses. β
Speaking of the back, his face flushed slightly, in fact, the last two are the main sources of income, and the other businesses are basically half-dead.
Duan Qianxing was silent after hearing this.
Ren Zhuzhu sneered when she saw this, "Hey, if you can't say it, don't waste time, obviously you don't understand anything, and you have to fill the garlic!"
"Zhuzhu," Ren Fu glared at her slightly, "Don't be rude." β
Ren Tingting was not happy, "No one asked you to wait, and besides, he didn't call him 'hey', you should call him 'brother-in-law'." β
"Brother-in-law?" Ren Zhuzhu sneered, "You want me to recognize him as a 'brother-in-law' in the next life." β
"You ......"
Seeing that the second daughter was about to quarrel, Ren Fu hurriedly stopped, "Okay, okay, you two were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, you should be as close as sisters, how can you quarrel endlessly as soon as you meet, Zhuzhu, you too, this young man is Tingting's fiancΓ©, shouldn't you call him 'brother-in-law'?
Speaking of the back, the tone has become heavier and heavier.
Ren Tingting glanced at Ren Zhuzhu proudly.
Ren Zhuzhu flattened her mouth aggrievedly, but seeing her father's stern look, she had to reluctantly step forward and call, "Brother-in-law." β
"Huh?" Duan Qianxing came back to his senses and couldn't help but be stunned, "You're calling me?"
Ren Zhuzhu snorted heavily and sat back on the sofa.
Duan Qianxing's face was a little embarrassed, and Ren Tingting spoke up, "Brother Duan, what were you thinking just now?"
Duan Qianxing muttered, "Tingting, now that the war is in chaos, the most profitable business is cloth and rice grain, and the most valuable things are jewelry and gold, so I think you can leave these three businesses as the main development direction in the future, and other industries can be abandoned, but there is one point, the land should be kept." β
What he said is not entirely correct, there are two kinds of most profitable and profitable businesses in this era, namely weapons and opium, but the former is controlled by the major warlords, and the latter is a harmful thing, and it requires a certain strength to do it, the Ren family is at best a squire landlord, where can he afford to do that kind of business, even if he can do it, he will not let Ren Tingting touch it.
Ren Tingting frowned slightly after hearing this, "But among all the businesses in my family, the cloth village and rice grain are the worst, and the jewelry business is barely passable, if only these three are left, I am afraid it will get worse and worse." β
"Did you hear it, I thought you had some clever plan, and you had a bad idea!" Ren Zhuzhu immediately mocked when she seized the opportunity.
Ren Fu frowned and didn't speak, but it obviously meant the same thing.
Duan Qianxing ignored the gazes of the two, and just winked at Ren Tingting, "Do you believe me?"
Ren Tingting was stunned and nodded slightly, "Of course I believe you, otherwise who else can I trust." β
"That's it, just do what I say. β
"Hey, you ......" Ren Zhuzhu was about to speak, Ren Fu glared at her, she immediately shut up, she would rather not speak than call him brother-in-law.
Ren Fu looked at Duan Qianxing, "Young man, your surname is Duan?"
Duan Qianxing nodded, "Duan Qianxing." β
"Qianxing," Ren Fu considered his words, "can you tell me what you think?"
Duan Qianxing smiled meaningfully, "Don't say, don't say." β
Rao is Ren Fu's excellent cultivation, and he also gave birth to a little anger at this moment, "Qianxing, you have to understand one thing, even if you marry Tingting in the future, the Ren family is also helmed by her, you can give advice, but you can't interfere, let alone influence Tingting's decision." β
The meaning of the words is as if you are saying that you are just an outsider who comes to the door, and it is okay to give advice, but don't meddle in the affairs of the Ren family with your own identity.
As soon as Duan Qianxing heard this, he instantly became angry, and said coldly, "With all due respect, I can't look down on the Ren family's property, and it is not the turn of outsiders to point fingers at me and Tingting." β
Ren Fu was so angry that he almost jumped up, and pointed at him with a trembling hand, "You...... You ......"
Ren Zhuzhu was stunned for a moment, and a gloating smile flashed on her face.
Duan Qianxing clasped his hands to his chest and said leisurely, "Uncle should pay attention to his body, don't be unable to lift it in one breath, it will be a tragedy if you follow in the footsteps of Master Ren." β
As soon as these words came out, Ren Zhuzhu couldn't laugh anymore, and she stared at him in a daze, as if she was looking at a monster.
"Vertical, vertical, I don't know how to lift......" Ren Fu scolded angrily, got up and walked away.
"Uncle, uncle......" Ren Tingting hurriedly shouted twice, chased until the door, and Ren Fu walked away without looking back.
"Daddy......" Ren Zhuzhu hurriedly followed, but suddenly paused before going out, and glanced back at Duan Qianxing, "You really have a kind." β
After the father and daughter left, only Ren Tingting and Duan Qianxing were left in the hall.
Old God Duan Qianxing was sitting there, as if nothing had happened.
Ren Tingting was a little angry, glaring at him faintly, "Now that you are satisfied, the uncle is angry with you." β
Duan Qianxing spread his hands helplessly, "How did I know that his qi is so narrow, just go, clean." β
"You still say!" Ren Tingting saw that he didn't take it seriously at all, and became more and more annoyed, "After Dad left, I only had a few relatives left, and my uncle was the closest one, and now I am also angry with you, do you want me to be alone in the future?"
Speaking of the back, the eye sockets are slightly red.
Duan Qianxing immediately surrendered, pulled her over, hugged her on his lap, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Where did you start with this, isn't it me the one you dearest to?"
"This ...... How is this the same!" Ren Tingting slapped his hand away, and then added in a low voice, "If you don't marry me, you can only be regarded as the person I love." β
Duan Qianxing had no choice but to comfort, "It's the same to marry in the future, okay, don't cry, it's a big deal to wait for the old man's anger to disappear, I will personally come to the door to apologize, this will be okay." β
"That's pretty much it. Ren Tingting's face softened, and she gently leaned on his chest, "Don't take what Uncle said before, if you marry me in the future, the Ren family's property will be my dowry, and you can do whatever you want." β
If Ren Fa heard this, he was afraid that he would jump out of the coffin board in anger, no, to be precise, it should be ashes flying.
Duan Qianxing's heart warmed, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile, "You, since I said that I don't want your family property, then I won't take a penny, do you think I will be angry because of your uncle's words, I deliberately took him away." β
"Why?" Ren Tingting was stunned.
Duan Qianxing explained, "That old man ......"
"Don't call him old man, you have to call him uncle!" Ren Tingting interrupted him angrily.
"Your uncle......"
"It's our uncle!"
"Yes, yes, what are you talking about," Duan Qianxing said helplessly, "Uncle, he obviously sees that it was a stupid decision for you to sell your property, but he doesn't mention the pros and cons, if I guess correctly, the property you sold will be acquired by him, right?"
"Indeed, yes," Ren Tingting nodded, and then spit out her tongue with a slightly red face, "Is my decision really stupid?"
Duan Qianxing couldn't bear to hit her, and said more tactfully, "Actually, it's not very stupid, when you take over such a big family business for the first time, the first thing you want to think about is not to forge ahead, but to keep this foundation, which is already rare." β
Ren Tingting gave him a blank look, "If you want to hit me, just say it, why beat around the bush, it's not that I can't stand it." β
Duan Qianxing smiled, "Aren't I reluctant." β
"Go, and you'll say sweet things. Ren Tingting snorted and said, "Then why do you say that there are only those three kinds of business?"
Duan Qianxing muttered, "The most fundamental reason why your family's cloth village and rice grain can't be made is that the channel is too narrow. β
"Uh, what do you mean by a channel?"
"You think, this Renjia town, including several surrounding towns, is remote, and everyone's clothes and rice are self-sufficient, how can your family's rice and grain be sold. β
Ren Tingting suddenly said, "That's true." β
Duan Qianxing continued, "You should look a little farther and expand the channels, now is the time of war, rice and cloth are urgently needed, and they will definitely sell very well, but ......"
"But what?"
"But if you want to open up the market, you have to take certain risks, first of all, the existing industry of the Ren family will definitely hurt your bones, and secondly, you will deal with all kinds of people, including warlords and bandits, which is what I am most worried about. β
Ren Tingting was silent for a moment and looked at him deeply, "I'm not afraid." β
Duan Qianxing sighed, "Actually, as long as you keep this family business, it's enough, and you won't be able to eat it in three lifetimes." β
Ren Tingting sneered, "Didn't you just say that you didn't look down on this bit of family property?"
"I ......," Duan Qianxing was speechless, "I don't want you to take risks." β
Ren Tingting's heart was sweet, "I'll be careful." β
"That ......" Duan Qianxing was about to say something, but suddenly a hint of color flashed on his face, "Tingting, I'll go out and come back to you in a while." β
