Chapter 253: Let's go buy some seeds~

He smiled.

'Why don't we just forget it? I was planning to go it alone anyway. The woman who bought my cherries the other day also wanted to cooperate with me. I was thinking that we are old acquaintances after all, and we get along well, so I came to you first.'

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhao's face instantly changed.

Lao Zhao knew that Gu Chen was indeed very capable, but 80% of the shares was no joke.

That would really turn him from the boss into a lackey.

The company would be given away for nothing.

To be honest, he was one hundred percent reluctant.

But if what Gu Chen said could be fulfilled, then the profit would at least increase tenfold!

Even if it was only 20%, he would still be earning twice as much as he was now.

At that time, the company will become a large company, and he will become a shareholder of a large company.

Although reluctant, Lao Zhao is not unreasonable.

He thought about it and said with a determined look, 'How about this, let's try it first. If the company can make a profit of 200,000 yuan a month after a month, I will give you 80% of the shares. If it is 2.5 million yuan, then I will agree to give you 80% of the shares! If it reaches 300,000 yuan, then I will give you 95% of the shares! Let's do the same and go on like this, is that okay?'

Gu Chen If he can do this, then there really is nothing more I can say. In this company, excluding labour costs and various expenses, the amount that ends up in my pocket every month is only 20,000 yuan.

If Gu Chen can increase the profit tenfold, then even if I only get 10% of the shares, it will be the same as the money I currently get.

If he can earn even more, then I can earn an extra 10,000 to 20,000 yuan every month.

Don't look at this 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, it's really a lot. These days, the average salary is only a few hundred yuan.

In the countryside, it's even less, 80, 90, or 100 yuan, and that would be considered amazing.

Gu Chen smiled upon hearing this, 'Okay, let's try it for a month first. I hope you keep your word.'

Lao Zhao was now afraid to give Gu Chen so many shares at once.

To be honest, he was afraid that if he couldn't make any money, he would have to share his hard-earned money.

But if Gu Chen really earns that much, he would be happy to share his money.

However, money is not that easy to share. He has to rent a shop, hire staff, and take care of all sorts of things himself.

If he loses money, the rental fees alone will take up a large part of his income.

In short, there are still risks.

But as the old saying goes, 'Risk-taking is the path to riches.' Risks and benefits coexist. If you want to make money, you have to take risks!

"Okay, then we have a deal!'

Lao Zhao nodded and then looked over at Lao Liu and the others sitting across from him.

'How about this, don't worry about the channels, go and investigate the fruit market first. In the past, we were middlemen, this time, we'll be the suppliers!'

Gu Chen smiled, 'No rush, let's try it first. Let's open five stores first. If the sales are good, we'll open a few more. Huang County is a small county, not like a big city where you can open a dozen stores and they'll all be full. We'd better play it safe.'

Gu Chen was ambitious, but he was also very cautious. Although his fruit was of good quality,

the high price was one thing, but the flow of people was also a very important factor.

So you can't just open too many.

The fun of doing business is that everything is full of unknowns.

Lao Zhao nodded, 'Yes, but all five of these must be on main streets, where there is a lot of footfall.'

Gu Chen pursed her lips.

'Okay, but I think we still need to get some fruit in, like those in season that are cheap. Just go to the villages and collect them. We'll mainly sell the more expensive ones, the high-end ones.'

Even if the taste of those 50-cent-a-pound homegrown fruits is good, they can only sell for one yuan, or at most 1.5 yuan. Such fruits are a waste of space.

Lao Zhao nodded, 'No problem. We definitely need cheap fruits too. Selling only high-end products would limit our customer base too much.'

After all, a large number of people is king. Besides, people who buy cheap fruits may also buy some expensive ones to try them back home.

But if we only sell high-end products, no one will come in at all.

In this regard, Lao Zhao and Gu Chen still reached a consensus.

After chatting for a while, Gu Chen picked up the teacup on the table and drank the last drop of tea. Then he stood up and said, 'Okay, I'll go first.'

Seeing that Gu Chen was leaving, Lao Zhao hurriedly stood up, walked over to his desk, and took out two boxes of high-end packaged tea from the bookcase behind him and handed them to Gu Chen.

'Brother, take this back,'

He had just promised Gu Chen, and although it was a little expensive, it was really not worth mentioning compared to the benefits Gu Chen had brought him.

Gu Chen did not refuse, and smiled as he accepted it, 'Then thank you, Brother Zhao!'

After saying that, he carried the tea leaves out of the door of Jixiang Dry Goods.

At the moment, almost everything that needed to be done had been done.

Now all he had to do was go to the market, not only to buy the vegetables for the day, but also to buy some good fruit seeds.

Since he was going to try, he always had something in his hands.

Anyway, if he couldn't sell it, he would just pull up to the curb with a cart and sell it with a loudspeaker!

He could make money either way!

Thinking this, Gu Chen got into his Santana and drove towards the largest market in Huang County.

The large market had all kinds of things to buy.

Gu Chen walked down the road and after a few steps, he saw an agricultural products store called Xiang Xiang.

The shopfront was the biggest of all the produce shops in the market.

He didn't hesitate to go in.

Lao Nan was a middle-aged woman who was tutoring her son in his homework. When she saw a customer, she stopped scolding and looked over at Gu Chen.

'What would you like?'

'Do you have strawberry seeds?' Gu Chen had thought of selling high-end fruit and coming over in the car, and all he could think of was strawberries!

The proprietress nodded, 'Yes, I have. The best seeds here are ten yuan a pack, the average ones are five yuan, and there are also three yuan ones. You can choose which ones you want.'

As soon as these words came out, Gu Chen instantly beamed.

'Of course I want the best ones. Only good seeds can grow good things.'

The proprietress nodded, 'How many do you want?'

She looked a little pale, obviously still angry about her child's poor math skills.

Gu Chen thought for a moment and said, 'Let's start with ten packs. Oh, and can I get some grape seeds too? Which kind? Sunshine Rose!'

In later life, this type of grape sold for 60 yuan per catty, which was really expensive!

In her previous life, when Tangtang was in the hospital, Gu Chen gritted her teeth and bought a catty of them so that she could eat more fruit!

It was a memory she would never forget!

When she heard the name Sunshine Rose, the shopkeeper was taken aback, and her eyes looked at Gu Chen's face in surprise. 'Are you sure you want it?'

Sunshine Roses are a variety from the Land of the Sun, not cheap to buy, and the survival rate here at the gate is not very good.

Even if they are grown, the taste is not quite the same, and very few people who grow fruit buy this kind of seed!
