Chapter 397 The four little devils have always been of one mind.
After Zhuang Tunan finished speaking, he looked at Pengfei and Xiaoting. The three of them exchanged glances in the air, understood each other, and nodded in unison.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them spoke in unison. "Mom and Dad, Uncle and Aunt, we have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Chaoying was already mentally going through the plot; this time period should be when Tu Nan, Dong Zhe, and Peng Fei wanted to do business.
But now Pengfei has gone to university instead of becoming a bus driver. Things seem to have changed. Could it still be related to doing business?
As he pondered this, he straightened up by holding onto the sofa and looked at the three mischievous monkeys in front of him.
"Go ahead and speak, your mother and I are listening."
As the eldest brother, Zhuang Tunan naturally spoke first. "Dad, Mom, Pengfei, Dongzhe, Xiaoting, and I want to start a business. Pengfei was the first to come up with this idea. But I've thought about it carefully for half a month and I think it's feasible and has great potential."
Zhuang Chaoying frowned; it seemed the plot was still developing according to the main storyline.
“Tu Nan, after all, you are a married man. Does Wan Shu agree? This is not a small matter, and we must respect her opinion.”
Tu Nan quickly explained, "Mom, Dad, Wan Shu knows about this. She's very supportive and even gave me all the money she had as capital."
Upon hearing that Tu Nan, Peng Fei, and Xiao Ting were going to do business, Huang Ling instinctively stood up, clutching her stomach. "Xiao Ting, are you coming too?"
Seeing her mother's anxious expression, Xiaoting quickly waved her hand. "Mom, I'm not going. I'll invest in my brother's business. We sold plastic bags together before and saved up quite a bit of money. I'll give it all to my brother so he can start his own business."
Hearing this, Huang Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoting is a girl. If she goes with them, they don't have a business license and can only operate secretly. Not only will she have to endure the wind and sun, but she might also have to sleep outside. The bandits on the road are very rampant. If something happens, it will be terrible.
Thinking this, she looked at Tu Nan and Peng Fei again.
“You two are a graduate student and an undergraduate, respectively. What if you get caught buying and selling illegal goods? You're both still in school. If this gets on your records, your future will be ruined. And if you encounter highway robbers on the road, you won't be able to sell your goods.”
Seeing this, Zhuang Tunan quickly stood up, helped his mother back to sit on the sofa, and then sat down between his parents.
"Mom, Dad, if what you say is true, then how did so many middlemen become millionaires? Don't you think that makes sense?"
"That doesn't seem to be wrong."
Huang Ling frowned. "Most of the people with 10,000 yuan in assets these days are individual business owners who buy and sell stocks, but they're operating legally. If we don't have the necessary permits, the risk is just too great."
Zhuang Chaoying sat to the side, her mind racing with calculations.
Pengfei can't get a transport vehicle if he's not a driver. As for the truck, he can borrow one from the factory. Although Qian Jin said last time that Pengfei can drive, we don't know how good Pengfei's driving skills are, whether he has a driver's license, or whether we need to borrow another driver from the factory.
Thinking this, he winked at Tu Nan and the other two. "Yes, your mother is right, doing business is risky. But as the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. We may not be the first to try something new, but we can at least have a taste of what's good for us."
Huang Ling turned her head and looked at him: "Zhuang Chaoying, are you on my side or the children's side?"
"Ah Ling, don't rush," Zhuang Chaoying said with a smile, trying to comfort her. "It's not too late to make a decision after listening to the children's thoughts."
With his father's support, Zhuang Tunan perked up and quickly poured out the plan he had been conceiving for a long time.
“Dad, Mom, this is what I’m thinking. Dongzhe’s relatives do business in the coastal areas of Fujian Province. Dongzhe said they can get small appliances and clothing at low prices, and then we can bring them back to Suzhou and towns in Ontario to sell. We’ve already discussed it, and Dongzhe is very supportive of my idea. The enthusiasm for buying in towns is no less than in the city, so these things will definitely sell well.”
Pengfei nodded in agreement and added.
“Uncle, Aunt, what my brother said is true. Uncle Qian’s truck fleet got home appliances, rice, oil and salt at prices that weren’t even the lowest. They still made a lot of money. If we can really get low-priced appliances, we’ll definitely make a fortune. There’s a lot of demand in the market right now. As long as our products are good and the prices are reasonable, we won’t have to worry about selling them.”
Zhuang Chaoying listened, then looked at Xiaoting and Pengfei.
Dongzhe is definitely fully supporting Tunan; those four kids are always of one mind.
Even when Tu Nan went to steal, Dong Zhe would help keep watch, and Peng Fei would help hand him a wrench.
However, Pengfei's words do make sense. If this deal can be done, the profits will definitely be considerable.
"We'll give you our final answer tomorrow after the four of us adults have discussed it. After all, this is not a small matter and we need to consider it carefully."
Zhuang Tunan secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Judging from his father's tone, the matter was basically on track.
With his three children at home, Zhuang Chaoying felt much more relaxed. The chores at home were shared by them, and he was able to have more time for writing.
. . . . . . . .
Across from Zhuang Chaoying's house, Lin Dongzhe stood in front of the television. Song Ying came out of the kitchen, still holding a freshly peeled orange peel in her hand. Seeing Lin Dongzhe blocking the television, she pointed at him. "Lin Dongzhe, move aside. We can discuss business matters tomorrow. Don't block the television."
Seeing his mother's angry expression, Lin Dongzhe dared not say anything more. He quickly stepped aside, obediently sat down on the chair next to her, stared at his mother with his big eyes, and tried to persuade her again.
“Mom, Pengfei, Tunan, and I have all thought it through. This business is definitely going to be a success. We can get low-priced goods, and the rural market is huge. We’re sure to make money.”
Song Ying placed the orange peel on the table and sat down.
"Lin Dongzhe, doing business isn't that easy. Look at the trade fair your dad's factory is holding. Your Aunt Huang and I have to act as shills. Your dad has been working so hard in the research lab that he's lost a lot of hair. Do you think it's that easy?"
Lin Wufeng sat next to Song Ying and, taking advantage of her inattention, secretly gestured to Lin Dongzhe, signaling him not to rush.
At the same time, he said, "Yes, your mother is right. Doing business is not easy. Let's discuss it with your Aunt Huang and Uncle Zhuang tomorrow. We need to think about it carefully."
Lin Dongzhe immediately understood his father's gesture and secretly returned the gesture, indicating that he understood as well.
As Song Ying was speaking, she caught a glimpse of the father and son making a fuss right under her nose out of the corner of her eye. She pointed at them and stood up.
"Lin Wufeng, you're just spoiling him. I'm going back to my room." With that, she turned and walked angrily towards her room.
