Chapter 340

After bringing up the matter, Liu Guangtian said directly:

"Now, we don't have enough capital, I......"

Jia Zhangshi snapped, "If you lack capital for business, what business are you doing?"

Liu Guangtian: "No, this big container requires a lot of money."

"This is usually done by a few people pooling shares."

"This is a hands‑on matter; I only told you because Bang Geng has no job and because your family wants to earn money."

"Otherwise I'll go ask Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li."

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and asked:

"How much money will your family contribute?"

Liu Guangtian: "We will put up forty percent; see how much your family can contribute. If it's insufficient, I'll ask others."

"Of course, if your family wants to put in more money, that's also fine."

"Because it's not just one big container; there are also small containers, and you can also pool shares with others."

"Anyway, the amount you put in is up to you."

"For a big container, we plan to contribute forty percent."

"The more you put in, the more profit you get; the less you put in, the less profit you get."

"However, let's state it up front: because it's our family's connection, we are the ones introducing it."

"You need to give us ten percent of the profit."

"In other words, if the money you put in earns ten thousand yuan, you owe us one thousand."

"This is the rule of doing business."

Qin Huairu, upon hearing that, fell into thought.

"If we invest all the family's money, it's still not enough."

"It would only amount to about thirty percent."

"However, it's fine to contribute any amount."

Seeing that she remained silent, Bang Geng impatiently said:

"Mom, I think this is just as Uncle Guangtian said—it's a pie falling from the sky."

"Let's take out all our savings."

Jia Zhangshi: "Guangtian, did you also invest all your savings?"

Liu Guangtian: "Of course, this time we decided to ascend in one step; we put all our savings in."

"After all, this is a ten‑thousand‑fold profit business."

"If we miss this village, the shop will be gone."

"As long as we do this deal, we'll be the richest people in the Siheyuan thereafter."

"Xu Damao is not worth mentioning at all."

Qin Huairu asked: "By the way, aren't you planning to let Xu Damao join this time?"

Liu Guangtian: "You should know very well who Xu Damao is."

"We're not confident about his character."

"Besides, my dad has been at odds with him lately; if there's a good opportunity, we certainly wouldn't think of him."

Bang Geng: "Mom, don't hesitate."

Qin Huairu: "Guangtian, how about this: I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

"Let us think it over properly."

Bang Geng: "Mom, what else are you thinking about?"

Jia Zhangshi: "I think giving you ten percent of the profit is too much; five percent is about right."

Liu Guangtian: "That won't do; it's a rule of the business world."

Bang Geng's impatience made Liu Guangtian unwilling to make a concession.

Just now, at Yan Jiecheng's place, he had already made a concession.

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said: "Guangtian, you go first."

"I'll go later to ask your dad."

"Then we'll reconsider, okay?"

Liu Guangtian: "Fine, but be quicker."

"Then I'll leave first."

Having said that, (he) stood up.

Bang Geng also stood up and said:

"Uncle Guangtian, I'll see you out."

Liu Guangtian, upon hearing it, was momentarily stunned.

Bang Geng's attitude is truly unparalleled.

Now he's being exceedingly deferential to himself.

He smiled, nodded, and walked toward the exit.

After seeing him out, Bang Geng closed the house door and then walked to Qin Huairu's side, asking:

"Mom, what are you still considering?"

Qin Huairu: "I always feel this matter isn't......"

"How to put it, it just feels unsafe."

I can't say exactly where it's unsafe.

Bang Geng: "What's unsafe about it?"

If it's because of Liu Guangtian, I also think it's unsafe.

But that's because of Second Elder.

Second Elder has always been more steady.

Jia Zhangshi: "Yeah, although Liu Haizhong isn't a good person, he's still pretty steady in business."

Qin Huairu: "Alright, even if this business has no problem."

But most of this money belongs to Shazhu.

I mean, should we ask Shazhu for his opinion?

Bang Geng: "What's Shazhu's? It's all been given to our family, so it's ours."

Since it's our family's money, we don't need to seek Shazhu's opinion.

What gives him the right, right?

Jia Zhangshi: "Exactly, Shazhu gave it to us, so it's ours."

Shazhu is silly, what's the use of asking him?

He's never been fond of Liu Haizhong; asking him would be pointless, he'll definitely stop it.

By then we'll have missed the chance to make big money.

Qin Huairu: "Let me think again."

I'll go ask Second Elder first.

Bang Geng: "Fine, but I need to tell you first."

I have no job now; if our family doesn't make money, I'll have trouble finding a partner.

If we finish this deal and have money, what kind of woman couldn't I find?

So this also relates to my future happiness.

I hope you consider it carefully.

Jia Zhangshi: "Exactly, Huairu, Bang Geng still can't find a partner, isn't it just because we have no money?"

Let's give it our all this time; anyway, this money is Shazhu's.

If we win, we'll be rich from now on.

Even if we step back ten thousand steps, even if we lose...

Qin Huairu: "Pah pah pah..."

What are you saying, geez.

We haven't even done it yet, and you're already talking about losing.

Jia Zhangshi: "Let me give an example."

I mean, even if...

That's also Shazhu's money; we don't feel bad about it.

Besides, aren't you always worried Shazhu will ask you for the money back?

Let's just do business; when the time comes we'll make a profit overflowing.

We'll also tell Shazhu we lost everything, we're broke.

Bang Geng: "Grandma, you're here again."

Didn't we say it already? This money was given to us by Shazhu, so it's already ours.

It has nothing to do with Shazhu anymore.

We won't give him a single cent.

Qin Huairu: "Alright, I'll first calm down and think it over."

After saying that, Qin Huairu walked toward the inner room.

She actually wanted to go to the inner room to take out the bankbook and see how much money the family has in total.

Of course, she already knows exactly how much money there is.

But she just wants to check if the bankbook is still there, calculate again, and see how much investment would be appropriate.

Of course, before investing, she still needs to first find Liu Haizhong and ask him properly.
