Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Mei had some free time a while ago, so she gave Xia He driving lessons every day. Since Xia He had nothing to do as well, she might as well learn something. Once she knew how to drive, she could go anywhere she wanted.
At the same time, Qiao Mei did that so that Xia He could come out for a breather. Otherwise, she would become depressed if she stayed by Xu Lan’s side every day. Xu Lan did not believe anyone now except Qiao Mei. Only Qiao Mei could bring Xia He away from Xu Lan’s side.
Xia He drove Qiao Mei’s car and headed to Xia Wen’s workplace. She waited there until Xia Wen ended his meeting, then she grabbed him and hurriedly ran back to his office, saying, “I want to start a business! A big business!”
“Why are you here to look for me if you want to start a business? Just go ahead,” Xia Wen said to Xia He confusedly.
Xia He relayed Qiao Mei’s idea to Xia Wen and he was stunned for quite a while before he smiled and said, “Only she can think of such a complicated thing.
You definitely can’t come up with such an idea.”
“You’re right! How can she have so many ideas! I can’t think of anything at all! Quick, help me think of a way. I have to settle all these things by tomorrow and start doing business the day after tomorrow! The critical period is those first few days of school. I can’t let go of this opportunity! If I miss it, I’ll have to wait until next year!” Xia He said anxiously.
Xia Wen had contacts in many factories. He called the person-in-charge at those factories to ask for a quotation. Those people all wanted to be nice to Xia Wen, so the quotes he received were lower than what Xia He had received from her own contacts. In addition, the quantity they could supply was also a lot more. Xia Wen then negotiated with an unknown small photo studio to do a collaboration with them.
Xia He did not have the ability to open a shop yet. It was best for her to work with an existing photo studio for now. Xia He just needed to share the profits with them every month.
The business started well and Xia He even hired many photographers. Overnight, many people flocked to the main entrances of the various schools to take photos. Everyone wanted to take more photos to keep as mementos.
Even though the current practice was to go to the photo studio to take photos, everyone preferred to have their photos taken at the school gate to keep as a memento. They had to study hard for so many years to get into their preferred school. It did not matter even if it was more expensive to take photos at the main entrance. If they missed this chance, they would not have another chance to do it. They were more than willing to nav the higher price.
Such a profitable business instantly attracted the attention of the other players in the industry, but they did not have the ability to do the same even if they wanted to. Cameras were so expensive, so who could buy so many in one go? Only the offspring from those prominent families in the capital could do something like this.
Xia He and Xia Wen decided that they would take 30% of the profits each and give the remaining 40% to Qiao Mei. It was useless even if Qiao Mei rejected them. If Qiao Mei did not agree to it, then there was no point in doing this business. Qiao Mei had no choice but to accept the arrangement.
Xia Wen had never participated in such ventures in the past, but things were different for him now. He had MO Zhu now and he did not want her to live a hard life with him. The MO family only had this one daughter and MO Zhu had lived in a big courtyard house since young. Xia Wen did not want MO Zhu to have to move to his small house after marrying him.
He wanted to buy a similar siheyuan courtyard house near Qiao Mei’s house so that he could visit Xia Fan and Xia Xing often. Since Xia He was also living nearby, it was easier for everyone to get together during the new year.
Xiang Chen also heard about this new venture from Xia Wen and was a little tempted, so he quietly came to have a discussion with Qiao Mei the next day.
“Cousin-in-law, help me. I also want to earn big bucks like Eldest Cousin and Second Cousin. Give me some pointers and tell me what I can do to make more money,” Xiang Chen begged.
“Does your mother know about this? I seem to remember that your family wants you to continue with your studies. If I bring you into a business venture, Aunt and Uncle-in-law will definitely kill me when they find out!” Qiao Mei said.
“That won’t happen! I’ll make sure my parents don’t know!” Xiang Chen said.
“Why… why do you want to make more money? Don’t you make enough money reselling those small items in the south?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“Cousin-in-law, how do you know that I’m reselling things!” Xiang Chen said to Qiao Mei in surprise.
Qiao Mei had discovered it by accident. She had wanted to expand her business to the southern part of the country, so she asked Yao Nian to find out more information about a few cities in the south as well as the gossip about the various prominent families there. She did not expect to find out that Xiang Chen was running a small business there..
