Chapter 511: Chapter 511: Earning Money to Buy a House
"Here, this is the accounting book." After returning to the room, Zhao Xuran picked up a book from the table and handed it to Gong Ruini.
Accounting book? What’s that? Gong Ruini stared at the accounting book that suddenly appeared in her hands, completely puzzled about the situation.
Accounting book? Originally intending to ignore Zhao Xuran and the others, Zhao Guangran became excited upon hearing about the accounting book.
What about the previous consideration of a cold war or not, that’s not the issue, "Is it the accounting book for selling herbs?"
Accounting book for selling herbs? "Is it all sold?" No way, Gong Ruini was stunned, knowing that before Zhao Gang and the others met with the pharmacy they had agreed on, they were impressed with the quality of the herbs, but didn’t need that much at the moment, which frustrated them.
Although it’s not impossible to sell to the supply and marketing cooperative, indeed Zhao Gang and the others pretended to be in the act and sold some herbs to the cooperative to get some receipts, but they couldn’t sell all to the cooperative, otherwise, how would they make money?
Especially if they send back the payment by mail, who knows how many people would excitedly mail herbs to Beijing, they couldn’t keep not making any profit.
"How much did you earn?" Zhao Guangran was only concerned about how much money their sales made.
"I haven’t calculated, but it should be good." Zhao Gang stuffed this over when they were also discussing how to sell the herbs.
This time, everyone’s inventory isn’t much, but this year everyone will surely work hard to gather herbs, process them, and send them to Beijing; although it will incur some costs, they couldn’t resist Beijing’s high prices, of course, some people wouldn’t mind the trouble.
Zhao Gang has recently been busy finding connections to promote the herbs, just not sure if Zhuge Zhi’s support would make it easier.
Seeing the accounting book in Gong Ruini’s hands, Zhao Guangran really wanted to snatch it away. His elder brother always thought of Gong Ruini in such situations and never considered a brother like him.
Seeing his brother’s anxious look, Zhao Xuran wanted to ask whether Zhao Guangran could sit still and properly calculate this account since this is their money.
The reason for handing the accounting book to Gong Ruini was because they believed this girl would seriously calculate the accounts, unexpected that Zhao Guangran was so impatient.
Gong Ruini didn’t want to check these accounting books. Didn’t they know reading accounting books is tiring? Besides, Zhao Gang should have calculated them. She wasn’t even the first to look at the account book, the money was still in the hands of the parents.
More than checking the books, Gong Ruini was more eager to know when the money would reach their hands.
These days, Gong Ruini had been constantly thinking about when she would have money, so she could start her plans, "You look at it first."
Upon hearing that he was allowed to look first, Zhao Guangran felt happy, "Thank you, Ni Zi, I’ll look then."
Cautiously picking up the account book, he began calculating shortly after. Although he knew their parents had no need to steal their children’s money, it’s about properly clarifying the accounts in a joint business venture, isn’t it?
If things weren’t clear, how would we collaborate in the future, Zhao Guangran seriously started calculating.
"Brother Xu Ran, when will the money be given to us?" Gong Ruini was concerned about this issue. Sigh, her own parents hadn’t mentioned this matter today, it was really excessive.
Gong Ruini was genuinely worried whether their parents, realizing how much money there is, might be hesitant to hand it over, fearing it would be irresponsibly spent after reaching their hands, especially since the adults wanted to buy a house, which required money.
Sorting the money? Even though Zhao Guangran was seriously calculating the money, upon hearing Gong Ruini mention the key issue, how could he continue counting, of course, he was concerned about when they would receive the money.
Zhao Guangran truly felt foolish. Regardless of how much they earned according to the account book, the critical point was for them to get the money; otherwise, everything was just a dream.
Zhao Guangran suddenly flipped the account book to the last page, wanting to see the portion of the earnings calculated for them by their parents.
Careless in his actions, but upon seeing the total profit written at the bottom and the dividends based on each person’s investment ratio, Zhao Guangran was stunned.
"I knew this was profitable, but I didn’t expect it to be this lucrative."
"Earned more than we did by gathering herbs." Zhao Guangran placed his hand on his chest as the figure was simply too shocking.
An amount that could make Zhao Guangran this excited surely wasn’t small, which got the originally composed Zhao Xuran excited too.
Zhao Xuran immediately snatched the account book back and then took a deep breath, "It’s really that much."
"If we can continue doing this every year, wouldn’t we earn even more?" A year or two, even though Zhao Xuran stated it’s impossible to keep earning like this, and the prices might drop in the future, the initial years could be profitable.
After making money, it wouldn’t matter if they didn’t continue in the herb business, just as Ni Zi mentioned, with money, they could buy houses, rent them out, and enjoy a good life.
Zhao Xuran’s words excited Zhao Guangran, "Brother, is it really possible?"
"I’ve thought it through, I want to study well." This wasn’t just some small sum, losing half as a penalty to the elder brother would be significant, Zhao Guangran calculated mentally, entangling his thoughts and emotions.
"Yes, yes, studying well is a must." Gong Ruini glanced at the number, indeed a heart-throbbing figure.
"I think we might be able to buy a small courtyard house by the end of the year." A large or even slightly bigger courtyard might be unthinkable, but a single-entry courtyard could be considered.
Of course, if the courtyard isn’t big, the location must be considered. Gong Ruini’s demands aren’t high, but the house should at least be in a school district so the property’s value would appreciate quickly and could be sold for a good price.
It’s not that she didn’t want to buy a large courtyard, it also requires having money and having someone like Zhuge backing, even though they’ve divided the family, relatives still come by hoping for undeserved things.
Gong Ruini was genuinely worried that once Zhang Lan realized how much they were enjoying life in Beijing, she would freeload, at the very least taking care of Gong Qiang’s family, oh, and Gong Zheng, who had reportedly not been doing well recently.
After failing to get into college, it’s not just that his father-in-law didn’t help him, even Wu Rui took the children back to the main factory, leaving Gong Zheng alone in the branch factory.
Wu Rui claimed to consider the children’s future, but not only Gong Zhuang wouldn’t believe that, even Gong Rui Wen didn’t.
If Gong Zheng could rise, not just being bullied as a lowly staff, but at least reaching a leadership position, the Wu family might not disown him as a son-in-law.
Gong Ruini still remembered Wu Rui, though at that time Gong Dajiang was critically ill leading to his passing, Wu Rui still managed her affairs well, plus she looked quite good, had a well-positioned father, and brothers, even if divorced, Wu Rui’s life might not fare poorly.
Considering this, Gong Ruini was dizzy; originally, they relied on Zhang Lan supporting Gong Zheng, but if even Gong Zheng wasn’t a hope, who knows what shameless acts Zhang Lan might commit.
Although they divided the family, if Zhang Lan insists on causing trouble, what could they do? Even if Gong Tao and the rest didn’t want to see Zhang Lan, they couldn’t simply ignore her.
Thus, the best way was not letting Zhang Lan know their financial status, and as for revealing it after Zhang Lan passed, it wouldn’t matter if Gong Qiang and Gong Zheng knew, unless they could resurrect Zhang Lan and Gong Dajiang, they’d only be driven mad.
