Volume 1: Reborn in the 80s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 67 Two Uncles and a Drama
Jiang Tian was able to discover this business opportunity not because she saw it on the news broadcast, but because she heard it from Wang Chunjuan.
Wang Chunjuan has a lot of connections in the provincial road area. Whenever her good sisters come across something good, they will call her to go and get the bargain together.
Just like the pair of small leather shoes her mother wore, buying them from the cart driver was half the price of buying them from the supply and marketing cooperative.
After the two families became familiar with each other, she also ate Xinjiang raisins, dried apricots, black plums, which were not available in their town, and various snacks that she could not name at Wang Chunjuan's house.
Some were bought by Wang Chunjuan herself and the driver, and some were given to her by others.
"Grandpa, this is what I think. After my noodle shop opens, if business is good, there will definitely be a lot of drivers who will stop by our noodle shop to eat."
"Once we get familiar with each other, when the eldest uncle and the second uncle need any source of goods, we can just say hello to these cart drivers."
"I heard that those who drive big trucks travel all year round. If we ask a few more people, even if one out of ten can help us bring the goods over, it will be more cost-effective than hiring a truck to do it ourselves, right?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard his second uncle slam the table hard.
“That’s exactly the truth!”
Jiang Tian was startled.
Uncle Hu was slapped twice by his aunt.
"Keep your voice down! You'll scare Tiantian."
Hu Jianjun waved his hand carelessly: "Don't worry, our Tiantian is not a three-year-old child, she can't be scared."
Grandpa Hu thought about it carefully and decisively sent the children back to sleep.
"Tiantian, stay and have a meeting!"
This was the first time that Jiang Tian witnessed the Hu family’s high efficiency in making money.
Grandpa Hu first asked his daughter how big the piece of land she bought on the provincial road was and how much it cost.
Hu Qiongfang explained it carefully, thought about it, and added:
"Sister Chunjuan told me that I found this piece of land by accident, and the owner was in a hurry to sell it."
“Normally, if you want to buy such a large piece of land near the provincial road, it would cost at least 2,000 yuan.”
"Adding the certificate, entertaining guests and giving gifts, it will cost three to five hundred yuan."
Grandpa Hu nodded and said that they could afford the money.
Grandma Hu was not an ordinary housewife. While Grandpa Hu was out there "expanding territory", she was mainly responsible for stabilizing the rear.
While both daughters-in-law were present, she also raised a question -
"Old man, this is related to the business that will make money in the future. Let's be frank. The eldest and second brother have already separated. Whether we are in partnership or doing our own business, you have to have an explanation."
Grandpa Hu looked at his two sons and left the decision to them.
"Your mother and I are old and don't want to bother with this anymore. You two brothers should discuss this business among yourselves. It's up to you whether you want to work together or do your own thing."
"There is just one thing. You need to give me an explanation. This way of making money was thought up by your niece. In the future, when you ask the cart drivers for sources of goods, you will have to rely on Fangfang's noodle shop. When you two make money, don't forget Fangfang and Tiantian."
What you said!
Second uncle Hu Jianjun almost wanted to roll his eyes at his father.
The old man has had this bad temper all his life, and it sounds like he and his elder brother don't love their younger sister.
If I hadn't considered your reputation, I would have gone to the Jiang family to bring my sister back long ago, okay?
Uncle Hu Jianguo smiled innocently: "When we make money, why don't we take my younger sister with us to share the money?"
Hu Qiongfang refused to take the money.
"According to what Tiantian said, I will wait for people to come to the store to eat noodles and ask casually. If they have a way to help us bring things, I will directly bring them to Big Brother's store. It's just a matter of a few words. Why should I share the money?"
While Hu Qiongfang was speaking, the two sisters-in-law began to wink at their sister-in-law.
Maybe it was because the two aunts and sisters-in-law had not been in contact for more than ten years and they didn't have enough tacit understanding. Hu Qiongfang failed to receive the hints from her two sisters-in-law. Sure enough, before she finished speaking, she was beaten by Grandpa Hu and Grandma Hu.
Grandpa Hu glared at his daughter and said, "When relatives do business together, what they fear most is people like you being so clingy. If you don't make things clear at the beginning, if something goes wrong later, losing money is a small matter, but if the relationship between you two siblings is ruined, no amount of money can replace it!"
Grandma Hu also scolded: "I thought you had improved in the past ten years, but I didn't expect you to be so unclear in doing things. Well, I think you are not cut out to manage business, let your daughter speak!"
After saying that, he waved at Jiang Tian and showed a kind smile.
"Tiantian, come and talk to your two uncles."
Jiang Tian had been acting weird and cute in front of her mother, but she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived at her grandfather's house, she was exposed by her grandmother.
You are really my grandma!
Her mother had just been criticized by her grandfather for being "sloppy in doing things", and Jiang Tian didn't dare to continue acting stupid in front of these two great gods.
"Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, this is what I think. Although this business sounds like it can make money, no one can guarantee whether it can make money."
"So I thought, why don't the three of us work together first?"
"My mom is in charge of finding truck drivers and contacting suppliers. My uncles have to buy land and build houses, and they also have to collect and sell goods. They invest much more than our family. Since my grandparents said that relatives should settle accounts clearly, how about this? We take 5% of the monthly profit of this store, which is considered to be some errand money for my mom, and the rest can be divided among you, uncle and second uncle."
Hu Qiongfang had no idea how much this 5% was. The number 5 sounded small, and she estimated that it would only be a few dozen yuan per month. She nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
However, my eldest and second uncles disagreed and insisted on giving my sister 10% of the profit.
Grandma Hu slapped them all back.
"Just listen to Tiantian! If you think the money is too much, why don't you give Tiantian and Chengcheng a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year? That way, you can make up for the loss."
That's a good idea.
Hu Jianguo has calmed down.
Hu Jianjun secretly rolled his eyes in his heart.
His brother's brain is hopeless in this life, and he can only wait for reincarnation in the next life to get a good brain again.
They can give big red envelopes to Tiantian and Chengcheng, so won’t my little sister give a bigger one in return?
Sure enough, if I want to support my sister's family, I have to rely on him.
Hu Jianjun thought about it and mentioned something to Hu Qiongfang.
"Fangfang, now that you've moved to the provincial highway, I'm afraid you won't have time to plant your vegetable garden and dry land at home."
" However , I see someone from our village has married into your village. I'll go ask for you in the next few days. If someone is willing to exchange land, we can exchange your land with them. In the future, let your second sister-in-law help grow some vegetables, and you won't have to spend money to buy vegetables when you open a noodle shop."
