Chapter 195 Discussing a Business Partnership with Manager Su
Shui Sheng thought for a moment and then said, "I'll bring my mother and live with everyone. We'll have to pay for her food and lodging. Qingchuan, Xiaotang, if the shop doesn't make money, you can deduct it from my wages. If we can make more money, don't raise my wages. I'm already very satisfied with my current wages. I don't think I can find such high wages anywhere else, let alone in the surrounding villages, towns, or counties."
Just kidding, houses in the county are so expensive! It would be a huge expense for him and his mother to eat and live there. If he works there, he can bring his mother to live with him. It's such a good thing, I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing it. If he asks for a raise, that would be heartless.
He is grateful and will repay kindness, but he cannot do things that are never satisfied.
"No, ptooey, how could it not make money? It's bound to make money! Look at my jinxed mouth..." He suddenly realized that he had already said something unlucky before even renting the shop. He was really brainless.
Lin Qingchuan said, “One thing at a time. Food and lodging are separate matters. If we all live together, it’s just a matter of having one or two more bowls of rice. If our business grows bigger and bigger, we should raise everyone’s wages.”
Shui Sheng grinned from ear to ear, feeling full of energy, as if he suddenly had inexhaustible strength.
He sighed, "Fine, I'm sticking with you guys for the rest of my life. I'll make money with you and live a good life."
Lin Xiaotang covered her mouth and laughed, "Everyone, let's live a good life together with me and Dad. Let's try to have extra money every month and meat to eat every meal."
Everyone laughed when they saw Lin Xiaotang, a seven-year-old girl, speaking like an adult.
Lin Xiaotang's face suddenly turned red, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Oh dear, everyone, stop laughing. Tell me what you think of my idea, is it feasible?"
Shui Sheng was the first to support, saying, "It's feasible, it's feasible. Xiao Tang's ideas are never bad. I trust you completely. If we work with you and your father, we'll definitely make a fortune together."
The Liu sisters immediately nodded in agreement, "We have no objections. Wherever you say we should go, we'll go. As long as we can make money, we'll follow along!"
Xiao Jiu, who had been silent all along, lowered her head and said with a heavy heart, "I have no objection. I'll go wherever you go."
After all, he was bought by Xiaotang and Uncle Qingchuan, so he shouldn't have the right to voice his opinions. Ever since he was bought back to the Lin family, they have never treated him like a servant. Even Uncle Shuisheng and Aunt Cai'er treat him like family and take good care of him.
Xiaoyu, who was engrossed in eating with her head buried in her bowl, her cheeks bulging, mumbled, "Yay! Let's move to the county and eat meat every day..."
Everyone laughed because she was so cute and all they could think about was food.
Xiaoyu straightened up a little shyly and muttered to herself, "Isn't it good to eat meat every day? But meat is really delicious."
Liu Cai'er picked up a piece of meat and put it in Xiao Yu's bowl. She said gently, "My dear Yu'er, even the most delicious food can't be eaten every day. If you eat it every day, you'll get tired of it soon. Then you'll have had enough."
Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, "Auntie, I'll remember."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Lin Xiaotang smiled and said, "Since everyone agrees and no one objects, then it's settled. My father and I will take some time to look at shops, and as long as we have enough money, we'll rent them immediately."
Everyone answered together, "Okay, we'll do whatever you and your dad decide."
Everyone ate while discussing, and the lunch was spent in laughter and cheerful conversation.
With the matter of renting a shop in Dushui County settled, there are two more important things to do. One is to visit Xue Zhiyuan at the Xue family's door and ask him to help make connections to acquire his brother-in-law's restaurant in Wucheng. The other is to discuss with Manager Su the matter of opening a braised pig's trotter shop in Dushui County.
After all, they have been supplying braised pig trotters to Wanhe Restaurant. If they were to open a braised pig leg shop in the county, it would inevitably compete for customers. If they didn't make that arrangement in advance, Manager Su would definitely think they were untrustworthy.
Lin Xiaotang was torn between visiting Uncle Xue first or going to Manager Su to discuss it.
But no matter what, both things must be done, and neither can fail.
She asked, "Father, do you think we should go find Manager Su first, or visit Uncle Xue first?"
"Let's find Manager Su first. We need to talk to him about opening a shop together. After all, we're using the same recipe to braise pig's trotters. If he minds that we only talk to him after we've already rented the shop, he'll definitely be unhappy. We'll rent the shop after we've reached an agreement with him."
Lin Xiaotang felt that her father had considered things very thoroughly. Her father was indeed the son of a scholar. Although he had never attended school, he was slowly changing and becoming more and more outstanding.
She smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to Dad this time. Let's go find Manager Yao first, and when Manager Su returns, he'll send someone to inform us."
The father and daughter went to Yunlai Restaurant, hoping to get help from Manager Yao, but unexpectedly, Manager Su was actually in the restaurant.
Lin Qingchuan smiled and said, "Manager Su, how have you been? We're so glad to run into you at the restaurant today. We've really come to the right place."
Lin Xiaotang sweetly called out "Second Uncle," and then said with a smile, "My father and I have a new business to do. Would you be interested in listening to it and discussing a collaboration with us?"
A new deal?
Talk about cooperation?
This little girl is really something. In just one year, she moved to town with her father, mother, and sister, and they've made a great living.
He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Xiao Tang, you and Brother Qingchuan have a new business deal to do, why did you suddenly think of telling me?"
"This..." Lin Qingchuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Lin Xiaotang smiled and said, "Second Uncle, this business is indispensable to you. Would you like to join as a shareholder?"
What the hell?
To acquire shares?
Does Xiaotang mean... "You want me to do business with you?"
"Second Uncle is indeed very intelligent, he understands things very quickly. I want you to join us in doing business, but you only need to invest a portion of the money. My father will lead everyone to work together, and you'll get a share of the profits when the shop makes a profit. How about that?"
Lin Xiaotang stared intently at Manager Su, as if afraid he would refuse. Her clear, bright eyes made it impossible for anyone to refuse her.
Shopkeeper Su thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it first. By the way, what kind of business do you want to do, and where do you want to do it?"
Lin Xiaotang said somewhat awkwardly, "I want to open a braised pig's trotters shop in Dushui County. Will my second uncle mind?"
what?
They're going to Dushui County to open a braised pig's trotters shop.
Can his Wanhe Restaurant continue to sell braised pig's trotters?
"Xiao Tang, since you're opening a braised pig's trotters shop, are you not planning to supply Wanhe Restaurant anymore?" Manager Su frowned slightly and continued, "Selling the same thing in the same place is probably not a good idea. After all, if two companies sell the same thing, they will definitely compete for business."
Lin Xiaotang quickly waved her hand to explain, "No, Uncle, you misunderstood. Our braised pig's trotters shop doesn't stop us from supplying Wanhe Restaurant. Moreover, when we choose a location to rent a shop, we will definitely avoid Wanhe Restaurant and not open on the same street as them."
