Chapter 1092: Chapter 1094: Go Big and Strong

After Gong Ruini heard the news from Zhao Xuran, she understood they would surely be interested.

In the previous life, many people made money by being middlemen like this. In this life, with their own ample capital and early information, they should seize a good share.

The only issue remains the old problem of insufficient manpower.

It’s not that there’s no manpower; they could find one or two people outside, but can they be trusted?

"Rest assured, the Miao Family will send people." Seeing the worried look on Gong Ruini’s face, Zhao Xuran signaled her not to worry.

Oh, the Miao Family will send people? "Aren’t they busy with their farm?" Gong Ruini remembered hearing that their son was busy with the farm during the New Year.

"How much future does a farm have? Just hire some people when needed."

"Prior, Uncle couldn’t intervene, otherwise Gong Qiang would have made a fuss." Zhao Xuran recalled the happy look on Gong Zhuang’s face before.

"If Gong Qiang knew, he would definitely cause a commotion." He had just caused trouble for his son, but unfortunately, neither Gong Tao nor Gong Zhuang paid him any attention.

Gong Xiaoyu is just someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. If he were truly capable, would Gong Zhuang not support him for a good reputation?

"When do you plan to set off then?" With the manpower ready, Gong Ruini thought departure would be soon.

Zhao Xuran waved his finger, "I’m not setting off."

Initially, Zhao Xuran intended to set off together, but there were many things awaiting his attention in Beijing, in case something went wrong and couldn’t be handled.

Staying here? Shouldn’t he be going out? "Going out would make people think we’re fighting; otherwise, why would you be angry enough to go abroad."

This way, at least she could go out and wander around a bit; otherwise, staying home all day felt really unpleasant.

Is she trying to chase him away? Zhao Xuran felt quite hurt, as he was staying for her sake, "You heartless little one."

"I’m not heartless. Look, if you leave, how will others perceive it?"

"Wouldn’t they feel it’s because of a big disagreement between us?" The more Gong Ruini thought about it, the more she felt the stagnant situation in Beijing was related to Zhao Xuran staying.

Everyone knows this guy is resourceful, yet when it comes to harm, he’s also quite swift. Once he leaves, many won’t be so cautious.

Once they stop being cautious, there’ll be more areas to take action, and Gong Ruini was confident she could deal with the opposition.

"You must trust me."

"If things get worse, isn’t there still big brother? As long as Chu Ling is involved, those people will think twice before acting."

The more Gong Ruini thought, the more she felt Zhao Xuran’s reluctance to leave showed mistrust in her, leading to dissatisfaction with work.

This was a serious problem, and her gaze towards Zhao Xuran became odd. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Seeing his wife’s discontent, Zhao Xuran had no choice but to surrender.

"Alright, alright, I’ll leave. Okay?" Actually, Zhao Xuran was somewhat worried about whether Gong Tao and the others could manage.

"Then I’ll also contact the factories on the way." If this route is verified, the business will need to start arranging.

"Factory? Don’t we already have factories?" They have a food factory and a clothing factory; isn’t this a good chance to dispatch goods?

Why let others profit when they could earn themselves? Gong Ruini didn’t understand why Zhao Xuran wanted to let resources flow out.

Zhao Xuran certainly wanted to make more money himself, "The production isn’t enough."

"If this is a long-term business, we can expand production, but what if it’s short-term?" Zhao Xuran worried if they found out about the business, others would surely find out too.

Nowadays, those in business have sharp ears; once they notice something odd, they’ll definitely cling on and snatch the business.

Gong Ruini couldn’t tell Zhao Xuran to proceed boldly, even if business lasts eight or nine years.

She wasn’t a witch. How could she persuade people without any groundwork?

"If we could get in touch with the upper or middle tier on the other side, that would be great." Gong Ruini recalled some fan fiction she had read before.

Remembering it mentioned the protagonist forming connections with some middle-tier folks on the other side, leading to logistics by train carloads.

Though it felt rather fantastical, thinking deeply, it made sense. A certain adept person exchanging planes with carloads of food and daily necessities.

If that adept person could manage, there’s no reason they couldn’t.

In establishing contact with middle-tier people, Zhao Xuran considered Gong Ruini’s suggestion seriously. If they wanted to expand the business, this was the best approach.

Otherwise, dealing only with small-time middlemen wouldn’t yield much volume and would easily attract unwanted attention.

"This way we’d have it easier, and even if profits aren’t high, as long as cash flow remains brisk, we can earn more." Wholesale may sound low-profit, but with high turnover, the earnings are definitely significant.

The more Zhao Xuran thought, the more excited he became, eager to thank Gong Ruini profusely.

But there was more pressing business to attend to—discussing the matter with Zhao Gang and others.

Just as Zhao Xuran ran a few steps, he returned.

What was going on? Could something have been forgotten? But no matter how big the issue, nothing mattered more than discussing how to earn money.

Grabbing Gong Ruini by the hand, Zhao Xuran said, "Let’s go say it together."

If this turned out well, Ni Zi also deserved some recognition.

Gong Ruini definitely didn’t want to take the spotlight; her insight came from being a time traveler, knowing more and able to hint here and there.

But once her advantage faded, she’d appear ordinary—she didn’t want to face disappointed looks.

So besides working on leveling up her abilities, she couldn’t be too overt for now. Otherwise, when scrutinized, it’d be hard to explain later.

"No way." Her husband was too modest. "You should claim credit for your achievements."

She didn’t want to push it, but the pressure would only grow in the future.

No matter how much Gong Ruini shied away from fame, under Zhao Xuran’s insistence, she really had no choice but to go along.

Reluctantly, she followed Zhao Xuran to find Zhao Gang and the others, sharing her thoughts again.

With Zhao Xuran adding supplementary explanations, he pondered why Ni Zi, who had spoken so fluently in the yard earlier, appeared disjointed here.

What was this? Was she trying to let him have the spotlight, not wanting to steal credit?

Zhao Xuran was curious, but first, this issue needed settling so they could establish a clear direction for their northern trip.

"Well?" Zhao Xuran looked at Zhao Gang and them.

Well? Did this still require asking? Zhao Gang was ecstatic.

"Awesome, Ni Zi! How did your little brain think of so much?" If everything went smoothly, they’d definitely manage this exquisitely.

No matter how many rushed in later wanting a share of the pie, so what? They’d find no way to unsettle their position.

Zhao Gang grew more excited by the minute, very pleased with Gong Ruini.
