Lao Bai's house was lively for two days in a row.
After the excitement, Lao Bai's family held a family meeting.
The focus of the meeting was around Bai Sanzhuang's career development.
There is no doubt that the life of Lao Bai's family is getting better and better. Now the family has hundreds of taels of silver.
According to the previous discussion of the whole family, Datou will be used as capital for Bai Sanzhuang, and the remaining silver will be used as two parts, one to buy land, and the other to be given to Xiao Fuyuan as a dowry.
First, Bai Banban was worried about whether Bai Sanzhuang would be known as betraying his boss if he left Xu's shop to work alone.
Mrs. Bai said that when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. This is human nature. Bai Sanzhuang has worked hard as a waiter in the past few years and has lived up to the cultivation of Xu's shop. Secondly, after Bai Sanzhuang left the Xu family's shop, he would naturally not be able to engage in the lacquerware business and engage in other livelihoods, so he would not take away the Xu family's job. Furthermore, Bai Sanzhuang cannot work for the Xu family for the rest of his life. Instead of delaying his involvement until later, it is better to leave now so that the Xu family can find someone else.
The white wooden board was speechless for a while and nodded in agreement.
"San Zhuang, my family knows that you have ideas. Although they say they will give you capital, in the end it still depends on your own ideas." Zhen asked San Zhuang what he really thought.
Bai Sanzhuang was very touched by the support from the whole family.
He has helped the Xu family do business in recent years.
My horizons have broadened, and I feel more and more that Nanguan Town is too small and there is too little business to do.
I originally planned to work in a lacquerware shop for a few years. When my family was prosperous, I would first go to Huaicheng to find a job, save some capital, rent a shop and develop slowly.
But a few days ago, He Shun chatted with him about business and mentioned the tea and silk in Sichuan, the spices and rare treasures in Nanyang, and he was a little moved.
In Huaicheng, he also knew clerks from big merchants who traveled all over the country, and he knew that to make a fortune, he had to travel long distances.
It's just that he doesn't have enough capital, otherwise he would also like to take a walk.
He understood He Shun's hint and wanted to lend him the capital, but he was unwilling.
Now his family gave him a few hundred taels of silver, and he wanted to use this money as capital to take a trip to Sichuan without making a big investment to find out the market situation first.
He is confident that with his ability, he will be able to return the family's capital with compound interest.
"I want to go to Sichuan to sell silk." Bai Sanzhuang hesitated and expressed his true thoughts.
"no."
Unexpectedly, Baiban, who had always supported him, flatly refused.
Bai Sanzhuang was a little stunned, shocked by Bai Banban's overreaction, and then asked: "Dad, are you worried about the long journey?"
Also, Shuzhong is thousands of miles away from Huai City, and it would take more than half a year to get there.
The whole family didn't know what kind of place it was.
It's normal for dad to have this reaction.
"No." The white wooden board regained its composure.
Unbeknownst to others, Mrs. Zhen knew what Bai Banban was thinking. Xiao Fuyuan's biological father died in a river where merchants were trading in the middle of Shu, and his body was not found.
Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai looked at each other and slowly said to Bai Sanzhuang: "The climate in Sichuan is different from ours. When your father and I were working in Huaicheng, we heard that many people were not used to going there. You can do it yourself Your father will be worried if you go there."
Old Mrs. Bai also said: "Sanzhuang, how about we open a small shop in the county and start a small business, and take our time. Our business is not to become a rich businessman, just make a living."
Bai Sanzhuang thought for a while, without nodding or shaking his head. If it were the whole shop in the county, he would be a little unwilling.
Little Fuyuan sat next to Mrs. Bai, her big eyes rolling.
For some reason, Bai Sanzhuang felt so blessed that he picked up little Fuyuan and said with a smile: "Sister, do you think I should set up shop in the county or go to Shuzhong?"
Xiaofu's big round eyes rolled around and he said in a sweet voice: "Sichuan."
Bai Banban and Zhen were shocked.
Mrs. Bai's heart moved.
Bai Sanzhuang was very happy. The whole family was accustomed to listening to his sister. Since his sister said that he should go to Shuzhong, the family should not object.
did not expect-
For the first time, Bai Banban did not take his daughter's advice, and his tone became more firm: "You can't go to Shuzhong, even if my sister says it, it won't matter."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
The third brother is a dragon in the business world, and he can only make great achievements in Sichuan.
But how to say this? Xiao Fuyuan couldn't organize the appropriate language, and judging from his father's appearance, he couldn't accept that his third brother was going to Shuzhong.
"Dad..." Bai Sanzhuang couldn't understand why his father was still stubborn even after his sister told him.
Although the Bai brothers don't know much about business, they also know that the entire Huaicheng is afraid that all kinds of businesses will be controlled. If they want to become big, they can only go out and find new ways. Sanzhuang is an ambitious person, so he supports Sanzhuang very much. Strong.
They also didn't understand how the white board that always respected their son's opinions showed their father's authority, which could not be refuted.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little tense.
"Sanzhuang, we'll discuss this later. Anyway, you can't resign from Xu's shop anytime soon." Zhen tried to smooth things over.
"Nai, you have the same idea as dad, don't let me go to Shuzhong?" Bai Sanzhuang looked at Old Mrs. Bai making her final struggle.
Old Mrs. Bai thought about it and agreed with Zhen, saying, "Your mother is right, wait until you resign from the Xu family before making any plans. You can keep the money first."
Mrs. Bai handed a cloth bag to Bai Sanzhuang, and there was a clatter of silver.
Eugene Gui couldn't help but look sideways and stared at the silver.
Old Mrs. Bai sat under the oil lamp, calmed down, and said to her family: "There is something I must tell you. Most of the money in the family was given to Sanzhuang as capital, and I never asked you for your opinion. In business, if you lose money, you will gain. This If the money is lost and everyone has different ideas, it’s best to make it clear now..."
Bai Dazhuang heard the first statement and said: "It's all a family's decision whether to pay compensation or to make profit. I don't have any objection."
Xie Chuntao stood up and echoed: "When the family was in difficulty before, it was the third brother and the second brother who supported us. It is right that all the money should be given to the third brother as capital."
Eugene Gui curled his lips inwardly, Xie Chuntao was used to flattering her elders, even if the grandmother farted, she would say it smelled good.
You also know that in the past, the family was supported by the second wife, but the second wife did not get any money.
The ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum also contribute to the two strong effects.
Mrs. Bai glanced sharply and asked Eugene Gui: "Where are you from the second child's house?"
Eugene Gui smiled slightly and said, "Mistress, what can I think? This money should be given to the third brother to do big business. I also thought that the third brother would make a lot of money, and we would all benefit from it."
That's true, Mrs. Bai nodded.
"Third brother, just feel free to use this capital and go ahead. I am at home. Ten of the students I taught passed the government examination, and their monthly income has increased." Bai Erzhuang patted Bai San. Strong Shoulders said.
Xiao Fuyuan waved his hand and refueled at the right time: "Third brother, make a lot of money."
Bai Panmei, the fourth child, said: "My third brother helped me study, but now I have nothing to repay..."
Bai Sanzhuang interrupted him and said, "What does it mean to have no repayment? Isn't it enough for you to bring glory to your family by being admitted to the Tongsheng School? You can learn from you in the future and don't bear the pressure."
Bai Zhaomei, the fifth child, said: "I want to practice marksmanship with my master and make money for my family like my eldest brother, second brother and third brother."
Dalang and several juniors also waved their fists to support Bai Sanzhuang.
Old Mrs. Bai looked at her family with a face filled with relief. Brothers, friends and brothers were respectful, and the family was like a tightrope.
It is quite a sign that the family is prosperous.
