Cheng Su has never been a content person, really. Whether in her parental family or her in-laws, everyone is well aware of this from her series of tosses and turns over the past few years.
She is restless!
Now, this restless woman is saying she wants to start another business?
"Seafood?" Father Cheng asked, sowhat puzzled. How did she suddenly think of doing this business?
"It’s stuff from the sea?" Father Qi added with a question.
Cheng Su sat down and said, "Seafood dry goods include a lot of things, not just seafood. There are also other animals and plants, but the main focus is things from the sea. Like the braised sea cucumber we ate at the restaurant yesterday, scallops with lettuce, and the braised abalone—these are all dry goods. Also, the dessert, rock sugar bird’s nest, can all be sold at the seafood shop."
"Aren’t these things quite expensive? Where do you get the money to start?" Mother Qi reacted.
Cheng Su already has a restaurant and that Jam Company, and now she says she wants to open a seafood shop. Where does the money co from?
"Small ans small business, big ans big business. At the start, the inventory may be limited. Once the business opens and the capital chain matures, it can expand further." Cheng Su said, "I already have a restaurant, and so of the dry goods for the restaurant are purchased externally. The quality is not great, and they’re expensive. If we have our own seafood shop, at least the supply can be reliable."
Cheng Su had thought it over carefully. Having a restaurant requires so seafood dry goods. Rather than paying others, why not earn it yourself? It saves costs for the restaurant and ensures the seafood shop’s sales.
Moreover, she surely won’t stop at just one small restaurant in the future. From a long-term perspective, she’ll only continue to grow.
Unless, she becos unfortunate in so future financial crisis or economic downturn, then there’s nothing to be done.
"You can do it, but Cheng Su, you have Xiao Qi now, and you haven’t finished your studies. How will you manage this shop? If it were in the sa city, that would be one thing, but Guangcheng and Qing City are so far apart. How will you juggle both?" Father Cheng said a bit sternly: "You can’t rely on a montary interest to do things; you have to consider every aspect."
Father Cheng’s words were like a cold bucket of water poured over Cheng Su, instantly cooling half of her enthusiasm.
But only half.
Cheng Su said, "Dad, not every business requires personal oversight. You can also hire people. If I want to open this shop, I will certainly think it through and carefully make plans."
"Seafood dry goods require a considerable investnt. If the people you hire aren’t reliable, then..."
Cheng Su laughed, "Don’t worry, Cheng Zhi and Third Uncle are both in Guangcheng, aren’t they?"
Father Cheng remained silent.
Mother Qi looked over, pursing her lips, thinking that she was only considering her own family and not even a thought passed for them.
Before she could think more, she heard her continue, "Besides, if Third Uncle and the others are busy, Jianguo is attending university here. His studies aren’t that intense, so he can help keep an eye on things occasionally, check the accounts, and also learn how to do business."
Upon hearing this, Mother Qi’s frown imdiately relaxed, which seed more reasonable.
"At worst, there’s also the Cheng family. If there’s truly a need, you can definitely call on so trustworthy people," Cheng Su said. "It’s just at the beginning, needing a little attention."
This is crucial; at the beginning stages, let’s not ntion decorations, Third Uncle can handle that, but procurent—the initial ti investnt is critical, as she’s now a mother and doesn’t want to be away from her son for too long.
