Chapter 652. Red wine business
"I know two of my second brother's friends. But they both have a girlfriend. Last I ran into them last time, they greeted me." Zhou Gui Lai said after hearing this.
Then he continued: "Didn't Sister Wu Ni say that she wants to stay in the county citt? Third Aunt wants to find her a partner here. Won't it be a long-distance relationship? It would be easy have problem."
"Girls. If she truly love him, she will definitely be willing to come over. What's more, if the guy like her, then maybe he will go to her side," Lin Qing He said.
"Maybe. It's only work that is a big problem." Zhou Gui Lai pointed out.
"Then look around. Let's talk about it if there is someone suitable." Lin Qing He stated. She changed the topic to Wang Yuan's side: "I heard from your sister Er Ni that your second brother-in-law wants to partner up with you to open a wine shop?"
"Hehe, I just went to Second Brother-in-law's side to sit down and mentioned that. Sister Er Ni already told Mom." Zhou Gui Lai smiled.
"Didn't you want to open a dumpling factory and be the dumpling king?" Lin Qing He looked at him and asked.
Although the cost of opening a dumpling factory was certainly not small, Lin Qing He was willing to support her son on his business venture.
"Opening a dumpling factory can be discussed later. Right now, I want to open a wine shop with my second brother-in-law." Zhou Gui Lai stated.
"Imported ones?" Lin Qing He looked at him.
"En. Second Brother-in-law said that as long as I can contact the importer, he will invest money. We will to split the profit equally." Zhou Gui Lai nodded.
The wine business was pretty good. So far, alcohol was the only business Lin Qing He haven't done of the tobacco, alcohol, and tea. Tobacco and tea were both prosperous.
"If you can really get a formal channel, I will invest in too. How about we also add split it equally?" Lin Qing He jollily suggested.
Zhou Gui Lai grinned: "This is what you said. Mom, it's going to enter my private pocket. Not in the public fund."
"Won't enter public fund." Lin Qing He confirmed.
So Zhou Gui Lai put his heart in it since then. He was someone who had the ability. Since young, he knew how to socialize. With his thin skin, he grasped the legitimate channel for imported wine after nearly a week of heading out early and returning late.
He had called Wang Yuan to drive there together. Wang Yuan was satisfied with it. He bought two boxes first. One for Lin Qing He and one for himself.
As for the investment for the storefront, he directly approved 20,000 yuan for and let Third manage it by himself. He didn't get involved. From then on, he would just get red wine and dividends.
With such a generous and worry-free partner like him, it couldn't be anymore stress-free.
Third went directly to the surrounding universities to recruit staff. Many graduating students have already got jobs assigned to them during this time.
There were some who got assigned good jobs. There were also some who were unwilling to be assigned, because the assigned jobs wasn't tasks they can handle, nor were they their own majors. In addition, the monthly salary from Zhou Gui Lai was really not low. A high salary of one hundred and eighty a month. There was also commission!
But he didn't take on just any college student. He had to look at other people's files. Those without colorful hobbies and interest, he might not accept.
What's more, the family background was questioned.
Because the salary was too high, some people thought it was a scam. The graduation certificate and Bei University student ID were directly placed on the desk. Whoever wanted to check it out, the come!
After checking it out, they were quite impressed. Then they asked about the job. This time, it was the beginning of Third's pressure and assessment.
After going through the selection, Third recruited four graduates in the end.
The starting salary was one hundred and eighty. A commission will be added to this basis. Since he dared to give so much, he wasn't afraid that they wouldn't work hard on selling wine for him.
Because there was no shortage of people for such a job. People may not be able to find such a good job again!
"Although the other place are organized, it is only sounded pretty on the surface. Though our store only have the four of you now, it will definitely be expanded in the future. I'll let you adapt first. Whether you can become part if the management in the future, it depends on your personal abilities." Third said when he brought them over.
The four college graduates were all a little older than him. The youngest was only 20 this year. He entered school late, so he also graduated late.
However, Third was much stronger than them in terms of aura.
The four college students were all from outside, not local of the capital. The local with network generally won't be interested in this employment. And the conditions at their home were better and will tend to slack off more. He didn't consider recruiting locals. The foreigners were fine.
People from other places, who came here to study, saw the prosperity here. If there was a chance, they would reluctant to leave and desire to stay here.
Third had found a dormitory here. A group dormitory, similar to theirs at school. The four lived together, so the conditions weren't superb. Still, it wasn't bad. Just medium level.
"One hundred and eighty a month, plus a commission. I cover the accommodation for you but not the food. You can go out and solve the food by yourself. My benefits are absolutely one of the best, so you have to make me satisfied. If you slack off and muddled through for some wages, there's nothing to discuss." Zhou Gui Lai stated to them.
"We know these. We will certainly not take your salary for nothing." The four of them responded.
"Alright, it's getting late today. You guys clean up by yourself. Afterward get to know the surroundings. Work begin from tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you to go through the renovation work together." Zhou Gui told.
Lin Qing He knew that Third had recruited four college students with high salaries and good benefits. She let him be. It was his own business. Let him decided by himself. The adults didn't need to mix in.
But seeing him go out early and return late every day, Lin Qing He had instructed Auntie Zhao: "Make him another soup and let him drink it before going to bed."
"Okay." Auntie Zhao responded.
When Zhou Gui Lai came back on this day, Aunt Zhao hadn’t slept yet. She told him to go to have some soup: "Madam told me to cook it. Third Young Master, drink it before going to bed."
"Okay." Zhou Gui Lai smiled.
It was corn, carrot and pork ribs soup. After eating, he went to brush his teeth. Then he went back to his room to make plans.
The renovation was complete. They can start buying and selling wine tomorrow. Especially after today. The four college students recruited by him had distributed a lot of red wine promotional lists on the streets and alleys. There will be shop opening ceremony set up.
When the time comes, the family's car and truck will drive over. Also his second brother-in-law's. It will support the store's front.
Thinking of these things, Third fell asleep.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were still awake in their room. While little Mimi was asleep in her cot.
"Third will open for business tomorrow. You have to come with me." Lin Qing He told Zhou Qing Bai.
"He put it into a private account." Zhou Qing Bai didn't want to go. It was laziness.
"Still, he is your son." Lin Qing He gave him a displeased look.
"Alright." Zhou Qing Bai hugged his wife and looked at her face. Fine, he'll go.
Sons were that worthless.
"I know two of my second brother's friends. But they both have a girlfriend. Last I ran into them last time, they greeted me." Zhou Gui Lai said after hearing this.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for changing color scheme again! Lighter background is much much better.
Since Qing Bai got his wife and his daughter, his sons can take a backseat I guess. Thank you for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteThanks God they have LQH as their mother....
ReplyDeleteI saw the comments and i definitely agree. If LQH is anything like the original mother, selfish and self absorbed, the boys would have a hard time. They might think theyre adopted. 😆😆. Thank goodness LQH is not. Third didnt even questioned it, when she joked that theyre adopted.
ReplyDeletedamn ZQB is getting more and more annoying with his 'sons are worthless" mentality
ReplyDeletei don't like the daughter arc of this novel. he's character just downgraded more and more. i used to be just indifferent with him bc he's kind of boring as a character but ever since he found out of their future daughter he's grown from a normal dad to a dad that's kind of a dick. i'm very glad that they didn't get a girl when the three boys were kids.
DeleteThanks for the chapter
ReplyDeleteIt should be father is that worthless. Qing Bai, just disappear, no one will miss you.
ReplyDeleteyeah, qing bai. i can see why you had such bad karma in the original novel. worthless father. be glad lqh loves you.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting angry with the author. Why make the ml such a crappy overly biased das. Would he think his daughter is the same if she did that?
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think authors try to portray ML's as daughter-cons and that they disdain their sons, because of the heavy sexism that is more common. China has had a lot of trouble regarding "sons over daughters" situation and I think some authors do this to the ML's to make them stand out, be more likable to the female audience and so on.
