"The family has prepared a carriage." Wu Mei said as she got off the carriage.
Wu Mei left the carriage and became quiet again. Li Ran sat in it with a sad expression on her face. Sometimes the feelings between women can be seen in a few words. Wu Mei seemed to be very kind to her. , Wu Mei made a lot of effort out of it, but she is such a woman, she feels a little sympathetic, and also feels a little like a match.
It was also dusk, Li Ran said to the maid outside, "Go back."
The carriage drove slowly away from Dongshi.
Wu Mei came home and saw Gu Qing cooking, she stepped forward and said, "Husband, come here as a concubine."
"No, you have to be busy at home and at the bank, let me do it." Gu Qing skillfully stir-fried the dishes, "By the way, how about the first day of the bank's opening?"
Speaking of this, Wu Mei smiled bitterly and said, "There is no business, and the family is deserted."
"As expected." Gu Qing stir-fried the shredded pork, then added pickles and continued to stir-fry, seeing Wu Mei still standing aside, he said, "Go and sit."
Nodding vigorously, Wu Mei walked back to the living room, things outside were troublesome but the house was still warm.
Gu Xiao secretly took a look at Gu Qing who was busy in the kitchen with a book, seeing that he would not come out for a while, he hurriedly took the book to Wu Mei's side and asked, "Mom, what is circular economy?"
Wu Mei took the book and looked at Gu Xiao pointing at the passage and explained: "This is called a circular economy, which means that natural resources are limited. Under certain circumstances of economic development, there must be room for the environment."
"Oh." Gu Xiao nodded and whispered to Wu Mei, "Mom, I recently thought of a good way to make money, and I must make my father look at me with admiration."
"Okay." Wu Mei smiled.
Wu Mei knew that even though Gu Xiao had done many things worthy of the family's pride, Gu Qing still regarded Gu Xiao as a child, and when she seemed serious to Gu Xiao, she knew that Gu Qing was still very happy in his heart, but he would not show it, just like From Gu Xiao crying to the first father, from the beginning of literacy to writing for the first time, many people say that Gu Qing is different from many people, but in fact, Wu Mei knows that Gu Qing is the same as everyone else, especially as a parent, Gu Qing and others are different. Others are no different.
In the evening, the whole family ate around the dining table. Li Xiang was learning martial arts with Gao Yang recently, and Zhang Yugong was always watching from the sidelines, lest Gao Yang's flying knives hurt the present prince.
Sun Simiao, who had white beard and hair, was sitting in the upper seat. Every time he smiled, his face became more and more wrinkled. Gu Xue would be able to go to the academy in a year, and Gu Ling could already speak. Wu Mei looked at the big family. Laughing, and Gu Qing's scolding words to Gu Xiao, and Sun Simiao's laughter.
"Let's eat." Seeing that Wu Mei didn't move her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish, Gu Qing said, "Try the pickled fish I made."
"I just remembered the days when we were impoverished." Wu Mei whispered.
Chapter 919 The Same Taste
Although the days before were a bit sad, at least there was no need to worry about food and clothing. The whole family had dinner, and Gu Qing sat in the courtyard of the house and listened to Fan Jian telling the progress of the bank.
"Patriarch, there is not much movement from the old princes." Fan Jian said in a low voice, "Why don't the villains go to lobby in person."
"No need." Gu Qing said to Fan Jian with a smile: "These old guys are all smart, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."
Fan Jian smiled and nodded.
Gu Qing also knew in his heart that he could go outside to find a partner, or he could do it by himself. If he wanted to do this business by himself, the burden would be very heavy. The Gu family's trade in various parts of the Central Plains made his family's money flow already burdened. In addition, the income of the Gu family has stabilized now, and the income will also enter a stable period. During this stable period, the Gu family needs to pay a lot of cash to operate the bus business, which will generally break this trend. In a stable period, some adventures should be manageable.
However, the academy still needs to be expanded, and the government encourages childbearing. There are more and more children these years, and the academy has to think about the future, leaving a large sum of money for the academy.
The branch factory in the country of Wa has indeed produced a lot of things, but the goods are not many, there are only a few thousand bottles of perfume, and the glass is just a boatload of glass. Although my own interests are there, they are much less than expected. Coupled with the expenses required by all parties, the cash in hand will be very tight.
In the dead of night, Wu Mei was also looking at the account book at home, and also found this problem, and asked Gu Qing in a low voice: "Can the bus bring a lot of income?"
"No less." Gu Qing sat aside and said to Wu Mei: "Actually, there are quite a lot of resources in the counties and counties around Chang'an, and the roads are still being built farther away. will be bigger."
Wu Mei nodded slightly and said, "According to the current situation, if we do this business on our own, we can enjoy the benefits ourselves, but we have to pay more for the capital."
"Yes." Gu Qing also nodded and said, "Those old princes in the court are very smart, they know that there is a business that can make a lot of money, they know that our Gu family dare not take it alone, and the few of them want to get more from it. Naturally, they will not bring their benefits to them by themselves, waiting for us to give them their benefits."
Wu Mei smiled and said, "It's not how much money you took from them when you were doing maritime trade."
"Then they are making a lot of money now." Gu Qing thought, "These old guys are hard to deal with."
"The concubine has a way." Wu Mei said in a low voice, "In fact, they can also not take out the cash for now, and all the bills will be taken from the bank, just as if they borrowed a large sum of money from the bank, the money Just use it for our Gujia car business."
Thinking about Wu Mei's method, Gu Qing came back to his senses and thought, "Why did I just forget this trick?"
"This way, the predicament of the bank will be broken, and secondly, it can reassure the dukes of the state that when our car starts, they will need to pay and repay the debt to obtain this benefit."
Listening to Wu Mei's words, Gu Qing thought in his heart, "It's really a good way."
The next day, early in the morning.
Fan Jian received the words early and came to Chang'an with several contracts from Gu Qing. The first thing he found was Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Fan Jian with disheveled hair as if he had just woken up, "You are the one who followed Gu Qing, I have heard of you, but I have rarely seen you walking around Chang'an in recent years."
"There are a lot of things going on in the village recently, and I can't get away from it." Fan Jian said, taking out two bottles of perfume and said, "This is given to Mr. Cheng by the owner of the house. I hope you don't dislike it."
After receiving the perfume, Cheng Yaojin sniffed the peppermint smell carefully, his mind suddenly became clear and he said: "The old man is not very fond of this thing, but it is also the boy's wish, why doesn't he take the old man's Bring back the ax."
Fan Jian smiled dryly.
"Okay." Cheng Yaojin put the perfume aside, "If the old man asks more about the axe, I will embarrass you. Gu Qing won't let you come here for no reason. Let's talk about the reason for your visit this time."
"Actually, it's still for the business of the car." Fan Jian said with a smile, "The old man must have seen the car."
"The old man did see it." Cheng Yaojin nodded and said.
"That's it." While speaking, Fan Jian took out a contract, "This is the contract from the Patriarch to Mr. Cheng. If Mr. Cheng is satisfied, just draw and pledge."
Cheng Yaojin stared intently for a long time, "Contractor?"
"That's right, it's the contract." Fan Jian nodded.
Cheng Yaojin read it again and understood the general meaning, "The small characters of Gu Qing are to sell the car to the old man. A bus is [-] guan, and a private car is [-] guan. The price is not low. The use of the car is determined by the Gu family. Chargé d'affaires, the Cheng family is free to choose when to take over."
Fan Jian stood still and did not speak.
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Fan Jian and then at the contract in his hand, "Is Gu Qing's bid too high?"
"It's already fair." Fan Jian continued, "The cost of the car is not low, and a lot of materials have to be manufactured through the Japanese country, so the Gu family's benefit is only [-]%."
"Really?" There was interest in Cheng Yaojin's eyes.
"Indeed." Fan Jian nodded again.
"But my old Cheng's family can't afford so much money, you tell Gu Qing that I don't have any money to give him." Cheng Yaojin continued.
While speaking, Fan Jian still smiled slightly, and took out another contract, "The owner of the house knew that the old man would say that, so he prepared another contract, please have a look."
After reading it, Cheng Yaojin fell into deep thought and said, "The bank paid me the first batch of money for the purchase of the car? The old man owes the bank tens of thousands of coins for no reason? What kind of heart does Gu Qing care about?"
Fan Jian explained again, "This is also the owner's sincerity in order to dispel the old man's doubts."
Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin smiled in surprise, "Well, you Gu Qing has a good plan, if the old man wants to get the benefits of this car, should he return the money to the bank, and the old man I have to continue to pay, and I have a hand, and I admire this kid's business mind."
"However!" Cheng Yaojin continued after changing his words, "I don't need to pledge this contract, and if it's a big deal, I don't need to do business."
