Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Fu Sen
Pondering something, Gu Hongwei continued, "Yaoyao seems to have a shrewd business mind. Buying land in the suburbs before it was developed shows a unique insight."
Now the two lots in the suburbs had multiplied in price several times. The houses built on them were even more valuable.
In other words, if Tong Yao wishes to stop and not think of making more money, she could easily live a comfortable life from the two houses alone, better than ninety percent of the people. If her parents’ house is included, one can only imagine how lavish her life would be.
Speaking of Tong Yao, a smile appeared on Si Chen’s lips, "She does indeed have a business mind. However, she is not suitable for large-scale business as she lacks management experience. She is better suited for quick-money schemes like the land-lot and building houses, or investing."
Before Gu Hongwei could respond, Si Chen continued, "Yaoyao is very smart, she knows where her weaknesses lie."
Gu Hongwei didn’t expect Si Chen to understand Tong Yao so well. He only realized why Tong Yao didn’t expand the tea shop chain and instead invested in land after listening to Si Chen.
Someone who knows how to make money and recognizes their weaknesses to circumvent them impressed Gu Hongwei. He respected Tong Yao more and finally understood why she always insisted on investing if he ever had other ideas.
Presumably, Tong Yao knew that she was not good at managing and expanding large-scale businesses, so she chose to leverage her strengths and cover her weaknesses.
Thinking of this, Gu Hongwei couldn’t help but share an idea about transportation. Si Chen listened attentively and gave several suggestions. The two chatted till late at night, which was Gu Hongwei’s first long conversation with Si Chen. He only realized then that Si Chen also had a deep understanding of businesses.
If Si Chen were not a doctor, he would surely achieve a lot in the business world in the future.
With the reassurance from Si Chen, Gu Hongwei was more confident about his idea. However, due to insufficient funds and the need to improve his plan, Gu Hongwei didn’t plan to implement it immediately.
When Si Chen returned to the room, Tong Yao was already fast asleep. She was smiling sweetly in her sleep. Si Chen got into bed, intending to wait until he got warmer before embracing Tong Yao. But she was like a little lazy cat who immediately curled into his arms, found a comfortable position, and slept soundly.
Si Chen gently kissed her eyebrows and eyes, turned off the bedside lamp, and fell asleep.
Although they went to bed late, Si Chen woke up early. After they freshened up, they went to the breakfast shop they had agreed upon with Fu Sen.
When they arrived, Fu Sen had just arrived. When Tong Yao saw Fu Sen, there was a spark in her eyes. Fu Sen was wearing glasses, his skin was fair, and his features were handsome. He looked about 27 or 28 years old, a very elegant man.
He was completely different from what Tong Yao had imagined. She thought that anyone involved in the trading business would have a rough appearance.
After they greeted each other, Si Chen introduced Fu Sen. When Fu Sen heard who Tong Yao was, he took a few more glances and teased, "No wonder Doctor Si is famously celibate abroad."
Si Chen looked indulgently at Tong Yao and smiled lightly. Then they found a table to sit down and Fu Sen said, "Please get whatever you want for breakfast! We can chat while eating."
The others didn’t mind and got their preferred breakfast. They all sat at a large table. Fu Sen took a sip of soy milk and laughed, "Our local soy milk is the best. I still can’t get used to coffee."
Si Chen nodded, "It’s normal not to get used to it. I can’t either."
Guo Jinnian wondered in his heart, what is coffee?
Gu Hongwei did not say anything. He had not tried it either.
Fu Sen and Si Chen casually chatted before Fu Sen took the initiative to ask about the goods trading. He joked, "Doctor Si, you have a lot of patience. It looks like you called me here for breakfast, not business. If I didn’t bring it up, it seems like you would have forgotten about calling me out."
Si Chen picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth, smiling mildly, "I thought you wanted to have breakfast before discussing."
Fu Sen, "I think we can discuss while eating."
Si Chen nodded and got to the point, "My wife and her friend have a batch of goods from E Country, which includes clothing. Are you interested in taking over?"
Fu Sen immediately understood when he heard about the goods from E Country. However, he did not show much interest, "Doctor Si, you know my style. I hardly do small deals."
His meaning was clear. If he were to take over these goods, first it should be a decent amount, and second, it should be a long term supply. Otherwise, the few hundreds of items would not be worth the trouble for the amount of money he would earn.
"I know." nodded Si Chen, speaking lightly; "I can’t confirm the quantity of this batch of goods now, but it won’t be less than a thousand pieces. There will also be other small items. At least one batch of goods can be supplied every month. Think about it, if you don’t want to take over, it’s okay. I can figure out another way."
Si Chen implied that cooperation would be best, but if it could not happen, he would not insist.
Goods from E Country sell well anywhere with a high profit. Now Si Chen approached Fu Sen just to simplify the process.
Fu Sen’s eyes sparkled at the words, but being a businessman, he quickly hid his emotions and thought for a moment, "Are you sure you can supply a thousand pieces monthly?"
Everyone knew goods from E Country made high profits, but Fu Sen had many investments and had no time for it.
Put another way, during this booming economic period, as long as one found the right path, one could make money from anything. He couldn’t aim for all sorts of money and was limited by his capacities, but if he could directly get goods from someone else, that would be different.
Si Chen took a sip of soy milk and finally said, "You know the situation in E Country. It was recently on the news. Except for unexpected situations, it is no problem to go there once a month. We have a team responsible for this route."
Fu Sen initially thought Si Chen’s side had smuggled back a batch of goods from E Country. He didn’t expect Si Chen to have a team.
Honestly speaking, Fu Sen came this time because he hadn’t seen Si Chen for a long time and wanted to catch up with him. Although they had only met a few times and didn’t have a lot of contact, Fu Sen thought highly of Si Chen. He believed Si Chen would achieve greatly in the medical field in the future. Conveniently, he also loved to make friends. He didn’t expect that Si Chen would surprise him this time.
