Chapter 81 Although the Sun Shine, Leave Not Your Cloak at Home
While waiting for the dishes to arrive, Qiao Yunxi asked, “Big cousin, do you have any other business other than the restaurant business?”
“Yes,” said Gu Pingqing, who had been looking for an opportunity to talk to her cousin. “The three of us built a dock and operated it for a few months. Although it’s not comparable to Chaotian Gate’s business, we have regular customers. Grandfather said that after, our dock will be used for passenger transportation and Chaotian Gate’s dock will be used for commercial transportation.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded.
Actually, the dock at Chaotian Gate was separated from the passenger and commercial transportation. Grandfather had done this to give the three cousins a chance to develop. At the same time, he had also systematized the dock in Gu Family. It seemed that Gu Family still needed to continue to develop.
The Gu Clan’s business was not limited to operating the docks. However, the Gu Clan came from the docks and had dominated the Chaotian Gate for decades. Therefore, when mentioning the Gu Clan, everyone’s first impression was that the Chaotian Gate dock.
Over the years, the Gu Clan gradually infiltrated into other businesses, and they kept a low profile, showing a tendency to make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
“Can I buy shares?” Qiao Yunxi asked straightforwardly.
“Little cousin wants to do business?” Gu Pingxin asked.
Qiao Yunxi nodded. “I want to do something myself.”
“Auntie and uncle …”
“My parents are very supportive of me, big cousin, you know how deep the water in Qiao Family is. Even if I used my lucky money to do business, they would think that my father had used everyone’s money to open a small kitchen for me. At that time, my brothers and sisters might even have a piece of the pie if they didn’t say anything. Why would my own business involve them? “Furthermore, I want to be strong, so strong that I don’t need to look at Old hag’s expression.”
The few of them were slightly stunned, and they immediately realized that the “Qiao Yunxi” in Old hag’s mouth was referring to Old Madame Qiao.
“Alright, how much money is Qiao Qiao going to take out?” Gu Pingxin had a grudge in his heart.
No matter how much money the little cousin took, the dock dividend would be given to her.
This matter would definitely be told to grandfather and father. According to his estimation, grandfather would also ask him to take out 20%. Moreover, father and aunt had the best relationship. They had been whispering about this in their ears since childhood. These 20% would definitely not escape. Of course, the most important thing was that he liked Little Cousin very much. In private, the few of them knew about Little Cousin’s family’s situation in Qiao Family, so they naturally protected Little Cousin.
“I don’t have a lot of silver, but I’ve saved up all the New Year’s money every year. Big cousin, help me calculate how much money I need. If I don’t have a large share, I’ll only need one achievement.” When Qiao Yunxi said this, he was very unconfident.
She only offered a little silver and wanted to share out 10% of the dividend. She was indeed thick-skinned.
However, she knew that this matter was likely to be hopeful. After all, it was easy for her grandfather and her two uncles to pass.
If she followed her own wishes, she would be more willing to open a dojo. After all, that was her specialty.
However, in a situation where eating and drinking were problematic, who had the extra money to learn martial arts?
Ordinary people would rather learn a trade, such as carpentry, or blacksmith, why learn martial arts?
Protect the country or be a personal bodyguard?
It’s too unrealistic.
However, silver was very important.
Regardless of whether it was a fight with Qiao Family in the future, or a fight with the black condom, without money, it would be impossible to move a single step, and there was nothing he could do.
“Alright, I’ll go back and calculate first. With the accuracy, we’ll talk about the rest.” Gu Pingxin was also straightforward. He didn’t pay much attention to his own business, but his own brothers had to settle accounts openly.
Grandfather also said that he would give them some fun at the dock. Since it was for fun, it wasn’t impossible for them to bring their little cousins along. After all, they would have other businesses one after another. At that time, they would also bring their little cousins along with them.
“We’ll go to Chaotian Gate this afternoon. Little cousin, don’t be frightened.”
“Isn’t it just a dock? Isn’t it that powerful?” Qiao Yunxi purposely asked coquettishly.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Qiao Xi was truly shocked when the group arrived at Chaotian Gate Pier.
There was no imaginary heat. Everyone was doing their own things in an orderly manner. The workers were busy loading and unloading goods. The steward was discussing business matters with the customers. A few people who looked like foremen patrolled their own territory and occasionally shouted.
It’s not as noisy as it is on TV. I wish the audience could see how hard they work.
Yeah, that’s what it looks like to work.
Qiao Xi looked at the prosperous dock and felt a sense of heroism in her heart.
The people of Yuzhou were just like this. Everything they did was full of wind and fire, bringing with it a pungent smell of chili pepper.
This was a very large dock. Whether it was in ancient times or in modern times, its scale was very large. It could be seen the Gu Clan’s ability and strength.
Qiao Yunxi glanced at it roughly.
The dock is divided into two parts, one is cargo and the other is passenger.
Passenger transport was not entirely for people. Goods consigned by merchants would also be placed in the cabin to save resources.
Qiao Xi stood on the shore and took a look. In other words, the Gu Clan was very awesome.
I really don’t know why Qiao Yunxi was so stupid in the past. He didn’t use such a good thigh and was restrained by Fourth Fang and Old hag.
Over the years, they had taken a lot of good things from her hands, and it was time to take them back with interest.
“Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Third Young Master, Cousin Young Miss.” The steward finally saw a few little people and hurriedly ran over.
“I’ll show my cousin around. You can do your job.”
“Yes, Eldest Young Master.” The steward answered, but how dare he really let these people walk by themselves, and called a few assistants to follow the children.
After taking Qiao Yunxi around the dock, Gu Pingxin proudly asked, “Qiao Qiao, what do you think?”
“Much more powerful than the Qiao Clan.”
Although she only looked at the surface, Qiao Xi quickly came to a conclusion.
Qiao Family was doing well in Jincheng, but those businesses were basically saturated. Otherwise, Qiao Xingbang wouldn’t have spent so much time exploring the market in northern Sichuan.
Gu Family is different.
Regardless of whether it was merchants or ordinary people, as long as they had plans to ship, receive, or travel, the business would be sent to Gu Family, and the business would be properly delivered to their homes.
Just this one person was several miles away from the Qiao Clan. Where did the old witch get the confidence to actually dare to compare notes with someone from the Changfang Clan?
Qiao Xi did not dwell on the past. She had more plans waiting for her.
“As expected of the number one tyrant in western Sichuan.”
After saying that, Qiao Xi saw the strange expressions on the faces of her cousins and asked, “What, did I say wrong?”
“Qiao Qiao, actually … Gu Family’s title of ‘Number One Tyrant in West Sichuan’ does not refer to Chaotian Gate Wharf.”
“What’s that?”
The few of them looked at each other with embarrassed smiles, avoiding this question.
Seeing this, Qiao Yunxi took the initiative to change the topic. “Second cousin, big cousin has his own restaurant. Where are you and third cousin? They should have their own business, right?”
As a rich third generation, the elites of these elites were all strictly nurtured from a young age, and their sensitivity to finance was more than a little bit stronger than that of ordinary people. Business was instilled into them from a young age. It could be said that it was something in their bones. Small-scale tests of their skills were even more common.
“Second brother has his own golden shop, and I have my own pawnshop.” Gu Pingqing said impatiently.
“Fat water doesn’t flow out of outsiders’ fields,” Qiao Yunxi teased. “This way, the pawnshop will die, and that way, the second cousin’s golden shop will be sold.”
“Right, we also feel that this is very easy. However, we need to be more cautious when operating it. We still need to follow the process.”
Qiao Yunxi knew that.
It was a business that wasn’t easy to make mistakes or cause trouble, so it was very suitable for a few cousins to try it out.
“Is there any business that Qiao Qiao wants to do?” Gu Pingxin asked thoughtfully as he held up his big cousin’s airs.
Qiao Xi frowned, “I don’t have much contact with business matters, so I don’t have any ideas. Do you have any suggestions, cousins?”
“Qiao Qiao, if you want to try, you can open a few shops in Chaotian Gate. First, this is our Gu Family territory, no one dares to cause trouble. Second, with us here to watch, you can save trouble. Right now, the most important thing for you is to learn more and get rich. When you have experience, money, and people of your own, you can do whatever you want in Jincheng at that time! Old hag can’t do anything to you. “Qiao Qiao, what do you mean?”
“Big cousin is very thoughtful. That’s what I think too.”
This flattery made Gu Pingxin feel very comfortable.
“I’ll go back and discuss with Daddy. Once I have a direction, I’ll find a few more cousins to make a decision.”
Qiao Xi had a sense of crisis, but it was still an unprecedented urgency. Originally, she wanted to be a rice worm waiting to be eaten and killed, but now, she saw that this wish could not be fulfilled. Since that was the case, she decided to make it bigger.
With a gloomy heart, Qiao Yunxi returned to Gu Family and secretly stabbed Qiao Xingbang.
“Qiao Qiao, where have you been today?” Qiao Xingbang was in a good mood.
When his wife returned to his mother’s house, she felt very comfortable and her complexion became much better.
Qiao Xingbang’s heart was filled with joy as he looked at his wife who was getting redder and redder.
The relationship between her daughter and her cousins was also very good. She did not alienate herself because she rarely met her cousins. With a few more cousins taking care of her, she would be more helpful in the future. Qiao Yunxi did not have any extra siblings. In the future, he would get married. When he arrived at his husband’s house, he did not have any extra helpers. Even if he fought, he would not be able to find anyone. Forget about the servants. Few of them dared to attack his master. With a few cousins taking care of him and fighting in groups, it wasn’t easy at all. He had seen Gu Family’s strength before.
“Mm, Father, Mother, my cousins and I went to the fish market today. We even went to the snack street to eat some snacks. I also went to Chaotianmen Wharf.”
“I went to the Chaotian Sect. Isn’t it shocking?” Speaking of her own dock, Gu Jingshu was also very proud.
Qiao Xi nodded. “I’ve never seen such a big dock before. There are so many people.”
‘”That’s right. Chaotianmen Wharf is the passage between Shu Prefecture and Yu Prefecture. Even if the government rebuilt the Shu Road, it would be easier to enter and exit by water. Especially for merchants. Almost all of them choose to go by water. Your eldest uncle also prepared a boat for you. In two days, we’ll go take a look together.”
