Chapter Twelve Arrangements

  "Joint venture, equity joint venture."

  He didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.

  "Joint-stock partnership? Tell me more about it."

  Chen Guanyu, this fat man is indeed a born businessman. Upon hearing Fu Xin say this, he immediately realized something and asked thoughtfully.

  "Hehe, Fatty, speaking of this joint-stock partnership, we'll need your help here." Fu Xin thought to test Chen Guanyu, so he didn't say it directly, but rather gave a hint.

  Chen Guanyu also realized that Fu Xin wanted to test him, and after a moment's thought, he said: "Oh? You mean you're going to partner with the government? You need me, you want to use my old man to get connected?"

  Chen Guanyu finished speaking, and Fu Xin immediately snapped his fingers and said: "Clever, fatty, your ancestors are not to be blamed for doing this. I think you should quit your job at the factory and become a big boss."

  In the end, Fu Xin made a joke. However, even if he didn't say it, Chen Guanyu would still do the same thing in two years.

  Chen Guanyu's ancestors were Jin merchants, and later during the Republic of China era, his ancestors seized the opportunity to heavily fund the current ruling party. In the early days of liberation, his family was a red capitalist.

  Chen Guanyu's great-grandfather was a clever man, he had two sons. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he divided the family into two branches. One branch went abroad to develop, led by Chen Guanyu's father's elder brother. The other branch stayed in the country, led by Chen Guanyu's grandfather and his descendants.

  Chen Guanyu later became a big rich man, and his family's overseas relations are inseparable. Of course, more is that Chen Guanyu was indeed a born businessman.

  It stands to reason that an overseas capitalist would definitely suffer persecution during the great turmoil, but Chen Guanyu's family not only didn't have any trouble, but also developed very well. Perhaps this is inseparable from his family being a red capitalist, which Pei Xin wasn't very clear about.

  "But, New Son, although my old man is the mayor of Yicheng, it's unlikely that he would rashly let us open a store and set a precedent for private enterprise. He might even lose his official position because of this. I think that even if I go home to argue with him, he may not necessarily agree with me." Chen Guanyu thought for a moment before responding.

  "I'm telling you, Fatty, you're not being honest with them. They don't know, but I do, since we grew up together in the same pants. Your family has relatives abroad who are capitalists, so your father's way of thinking can't be that stubborn and conservative. He must support reform and opening up."

  Besides, this reform and opening up is unprecedented, it's like the country is crossing the river by feeling for stones. We're going to open a shop, even though there's no precedent nationwide, why can't we be the first to eat crabs? Once successful, the benefits won't just be limited to you and me, Chen Shu's official career path...” Picking up here, Fu Xin stopped talking, presumably Chen Guanyu also understood.

  "What if it doesn't work?" Chen Guanyu asked with obvious concerns.

  "Haha, dead fatty, don't bother struggling, they don't know, but I do since I've met your parents! Your mother told me that the branch of your family living abroad are red capitalists who make money for the country, so your family is very rich and didn't suffer a bit during the turmoil because your roots are overseas and you have great influence in high places! Don't tell me this isn't true, humph!" Jiang Cheng suddenly interrupted with a "humph".

  "Don't mention the red capitalist, and don't go spreading it around outside either. It's not good for you or me. But, fatty, just be straightforward, are you in or out? Show some guts!" As soon as Jiang Cheng mentioned the red capitalist, Fu Xin felt that this matter was better left unspoken, and immediately reminded him.

  If it can be spread wildly, the previous life would not even vaguely know that little bit, because some red capitalists are often also intelligence personnel, relevant departments, and don't talk nonsense.

  "Alright, I'll do it. Tonight, I'll go persuade my old man. If he doesn't agree, I'll get my mom to scold him and make him kneel on the washboard!" Chen Guanyu's dad was a henpecked husband, which is why Chen Guanyu came up with such a vicious plan.

  "Good! For a better future for all of us, cheers!" Fu Xin poured wine into the bowls of everyone present, then picked up his own bowl and said with great enthusiasm.

  "Alright, let's do it!" Liu Yi and Yang Guo had no objections. They believed that as long as their brothers had meat to eat, they themselves wouldn't go hungry either. Besides, the two of them were already living at the lowest level among the five people.

  One has many siblings and often helps others, one is an orphan who farms, and another wants to repay the kindness of his uncle's family, so their lives are not easy.

  "Alright, things are settled now, but don't be too optimistic yet. The specific operations still need to be carried out by the merchant."

  Among the five of us, three have jobs and one is farming.

  "Right, Xiao Xin, do you have a job now? If not, just join us and we'll pool some money together. You can go do whatever it is, as long as brother has food to eat, brother won't complain."

  Seeing everyone's joy, Liu Yi felt that cold water still needed to be splashed out, otherwise it was just empty talk.

  "Haha, Liu Ge, I've already thought of this." Indeed, Fu Xin had considered this problem last night.

  Seeing the crowd's eager expression, Fu Xin couldn't bear to disappoint them and immediately said: "It's like this, I'm really sorry, but I already have an arrangement." Fu Xin was indeed quite straightforward, directly saying it out loud. If the five of them weren't in a good relationship, who would still be willing to help him after he spoke like that?!

  "After a few days, I may go to Xunyang. On my way back, I met someone on the train who was the vice mayor of Xunyang. For some reason, he gave me a job opportunity and asked me to work at the Xunyang Bicycle Factory."

  At that time, I hadn't thought about opening a store either, so I happily agreed. Obviously, if we opened a store, I could only buy shares. I ruled it out first.

  "Secondly, the jobs of both Fatso and Tangerine are not bad. Initially, they should work first, and only quit when there is a real shortage of people. So they can be ruled out for now."

  "Now it's just Liu Ge and Yang Ge left, I think like this, Liu Ge has a wide range of relationships at home, so, Liu Ge going to be the boss is the most suitable. Moreover, coincidentally, your younger brother doesn't have a job now, you can let him take over the work."

  Brother Yang, you are too introverted. I think you should go out and exercise more. In my vision, our store will open all over the world in the future. So, I want to arrange for Brother Yang to go to Dongguang Province to pick up goods.

  "Also, Liu Ge and Yang Ge, you two have made an effort, so the money for opening the shop should be borne by me, Pang Zi, and Cheng Zi. What do you all think?"
