Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Are You Coming Over?

Tong Yao gathered her spirit and seriously discussed this matter with Si Chen, "Ahchen, if in a couple of years my parents’ house expropriation money comes in and they have no objections, I’d like to invest in Hongwei’s transportation business. What do you think?"

Si Chen thought seriously about it for a while before nodding, "This business does indeed have a lot of potential, but this money from the expropriation is intended for them in their old age. We should discuss it thoroughly, and if they are against it, it’s understandable and you should not insist."

Investing in the transportation industry is not a small sum. If Tong Yaohui disagrees, it is understandable, and it’s unnecessary to cause family discord over this matter.

Tong Yao nodded with a cheerfully, "As long as you are not against it, that’s good. I will speak with our parents. But if they disagree, it does not matter, the profits from the breeding farm and goods flipping businesses over two or three years will still be sizable."

The investment for this business idea is quite substantial. The most critical aspect lies with Si Chen, as long as he did not oppose the matter, this business would benefit generations in the future.

Tong Yao felt that these were opportune times; if she didn’t take the risk and gamble, she would certainly regret it in the future. Hongwei’s business would undoubtedly flourish. Even if she didn’t provide any help, it would still be able to prosper.

In her previous life, Gu Hongwei was a famous tycoon, with numerous industries under his name.

Si Chen nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a knock on the door accompanied Gu Hongwei’s appearance. Si Chen opened the door and Gu Hongwei walked in, with a bundle of documents in his hand. The three of them sat around a table and began discussing the matter.

The discussion lasted until evening. Suddenly, the phone in the hall rang. Tong Yao walked over and picked it up, only to hear the voice of Guo Jinnian from the other end.

"Yaoyao, I have found a suitable warehouse here. The price isn’t incredibly cheap, but the location is excellent. The next time Sister Hu’s shipment arrives, I’ll be able to directly receive the goods at this warehouse. How are you all doing over there? The next time Sister Hu’s shipment arrives, will you be able to handle it?"

There was a hint of excitement in Guo Jinnian’s voice, being in a foreign country, she found everything to be fresh and novel.

Guo Jinnian never expected that she would have the chance to travel abroad; she had bolted to two different countries in the same year which felt like a peak life experience. She enjoyed the thrill of it all and wished to make the most of these opportunities while she was still capable.

Tong Yao did not expect that things would be settled so quickly over there, and she was also somewhat excited. "That’s great! Now that you have sorted things out there, I will contact Manager Fu later to discuss the matter. I think the sooner we kick off, the better." _{𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮}

Guo Jinnian responded, "That’s what I think, too. Everything here is going well. I researched the market, and clothing items are in serous shortage. As long as we bring our goods from back home, they will definitely be in high demand. Sister Hu’s team can be expanded."

But Tong Yao insisted, "We are just starting, it’s better to maintain stability. You should also pay more attention to your safety over there."

After discussing business affairs for a while, Guo Jinnian switched the topic to Guo Miaomiao, "Is Miaomiao behaving? Does she miss me a lot?"

Tong Yao laughed, "Miaomiao is very obedient. I have already moved her to work downstairs. In a few days, I’ll install a telephone in the milk tea shop downstairs. That way, whenever you miss her, you can call her directly."

Hearing that Guo Miaomiao was arranged to stay with them, Guo Jinnian felt a lot relieved, "Among my siblings, Miaomiao is the one I connect most with. My elder sisters are too timid, and don’t even get me started on my brother who was totally spoiled."

Tong Yao cheerfully said, "I also like Miaomiao a lot, she is very sensible. When she gets older, let her find a local boyfriend. In that way, you two sisters can both stay in Kyoto and take care of each other."

Guo Jinnian sighed, "I just worry that she will end up with someone not from here."

Tong Yao suggested, "That wouldn’t be a problem. When we are financially stable, we can also have people marry into our family."

Guo Jinnian thought this was a good idea and immediately filled with energy. She chatted with Tong Yao about different things, and they conversed for a long time. After a while, she finally asked, "Yaoyao, have you picked up the car yet? Is Gu Hongwei’s driving skill okay?"

Tong Yao stifled her laughter, "It’s quite good. We picked up the car today; he went to the breeding farm with Ahchen this morning."

Noticing Gu Hongwei looking at her, Tong Yao said, "Do you want to chat with Hongwei for a bit?"

Guo Jinnian arrogantly responded, "I don’t have much to talk about with him."

Tong Yao knew that Guo Jinnian actually wanted to speak to Gu Hongwei, so she said to Gu Hongwei, "Hongwei, why don’t you come and speak to Jinnian? It’s been a long time since you’ve both talked."

Gu Hongwei took the phone without any hesitation and began his conversation with parental admonishment, "The situation overseas is different from here in our country. Do take care."

Upon hearing Gu Hongwei’s voice, Guo Jinnian was so excited that she started to sweat. But, she retorted forcefully, "Don’t worry! Not just anyone can bully me here. I cut my hair short again, and many people here think I am a boy."

Gu Hongwei paused for a while then suddenly said, "Next month, if I have time, I will go with Sister Hu and see how you are doing."

Upon hearing these words, Guo Jinnian felt stunned, "You are coming over?"

Gu Hongwei responded, "Yes, things here aren’t too busy at the moment."

Guo Jinnian was so excited she almost shouted out loud. She managed to suppress her excitement and replied with an air of arrogance, "Oh, okay! Just inform me when you plan to come, and I can arrange your lodgings in advance."

Gu Hongwei just responded with a simple "Hmm", "Is there anything you want to eat? I can bring it with me."

Guo Jinnian’s eyes lit up, "The steamed buns made by Sister Zheng are delicious."

Gu Hongwei’s face darkened, "Pick something that’s easy to bring. Steamed buns will spoil easily."

The journey on the train takes seven to eight days. By the time they would get there, the steamed buns would have gone bad.

Guo Jinnian contemplated and said disappointedly, "Then let me think. I don’t know what I want to eat right now. Let me call you in a couple of days!"

After finishing, she immediately hung up the phone. Gu Hongwei was stunned by Guo Jinnian’s hurried manner.

Tong Yao had heard the two’s conversation just now. Seeing him hang up the phone, she said, "Since it’s summer, if Jinnian wants to eat Sister Hu’s steamed buns, we can use vacuum packaging to preserve them."

"Vacuum packaging?" Gu Hongwei appeared somewhat uncomfortable, "I normally don’t frequent the markets and I’m not familiar with this kind of product."

Tong Yao seriously said, "Hongwei, when you have time, you should go around the market more. It won’t hurt."

Gu Hongwei also realized this point, "Alright."

As Tong Yao turned her head, she noticed Si Chen was looking at her thoughtfully. She became somewhat puzzled and asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
