Zhao Gang was dumbfounded. He knew that his eldest son and Gong Ruini sought him and Gong Tao out for a reason.
But Zhao Gang never expected the two kids to co up with such an idea. Although it hasn’t been executed, if really operated, it’s not difficult and could easily open up the market.
"Taozi, what do you think of this idea?" Zhao Gang snapped back to reality and saw his friend Gong Tao also in shock, which made Zhao Gang feel better.
At least he wasn’t the only one who was dumbfounded. At least he had a friend with him, but it also depended on how Gong Tao saw it.
Gong Tao wiped his face. Although he wanted to laugh, he really couldn’t bring himself to, "Why do I feel like we’re just a couple of fools? How co we never thought of this?"
Gong Tao felt quite uncomfortable about it. Usually, kids rely on their parents, but not in his family. Instead, the children took care of the parents.
Not only are they sensible, but they also think about how to make money. Talking about it would definitely make many people envious.
"Yeah." Just from the tone, you could tell his friend was supportive, "So what do we do?"
"Go for it, definitely." Gong Tao had made up his mind. In these tis, being without money is not an option, and if this plan really takes off, it’s not guaranteed to lose money.
"We can’t compare to those large state-owned enterprises. All notable units now are state-owned companies, and without strong connections, all these orders go to state-owned printing factories."
Zhao Gang and his friends have persisted for so long, only securing a few clients because the orders were small and the state-owned printing factories weren’t interested. But did Zhao Gang and his friends really want to continue playing small-ti like this?
Right now, many new problem sets have co out on the market, and although their own exercises are selling well, it’s not as good as before, and who knows when these items might stop selling.
The best thod is to find a better profit point for the printing factory before that day cos. It’s easy to think about, but actually executing it is not at all simple.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have thought over it so much without finding a suitable opportunity, but now that they have the route planned, it’s about how to execute it.
Gong Tao believes that when it cos to execution, his initiative is top-notch, "Then we’ll first print Spring Festival couplets, fortune characters, and so calendars."
"Just print fewer calendars." After all, it’s a trial run, and they can’t invest too much. What if it fails?
"As for Spring Festival couplets, we can produce more." If they don’t sell this year, they can be sold next year.
Gong Ruini feels that Zhao Gang is a bit timid, but it’s understandable since no one knows what the future holds, and it’s impossible to invest too much money.
"I think we should wait until the end of the year to talk about it. For now, we should prepare the templates." Gong Tao fears the ability of outsiders to imitate.
"Yes, definitely." Zhao Gang is also apprehensive, "Once the templates are engraved, they’ll be kept at Uncle Zhuge’s place."
Once they’ve prepared the materials, "By November, we’ll go full steam ahead, and co December, we’ll surprise them."
"This ti we’ll start with simpler ones, and then next year we’ll produce more complex ones. In any case, each year the couplets we produce will be better and better." Zhao Gang kept murmuring.
"They like to copy, huh? I wonder how they’ll copy this ti. We intend to make sure they don’t make any profit." Zhao Gang said, implying that if they want to copy, let them suffer a big loss.
"Exactly." Gong Tao was also quite annoyed with them. Before, there was no way to deal with them, but now it’s different. Such a good opportunity can’t be missed.
Gong Tao thought about it. He can handle making templates, but designing them isn’t his forte, "Ni Zi, take advantage of the fact that Jia Ming and the others aren’t here in the next few days and co up with a few designs, so I can make the templates."
Ah, it’s so rushed. Gong Ruini reluctantly agreed to co up with so designs. Sigh, to push her old dad like this, it seems the old man’s mood hasn’t been good lately.
"Dad, are you still going to the Northeast?" Seeing Gong Tao’s look, he probably won’t go to the Northeast.
"I’m not going. Your mom will take Xiao Zhi over there. Although he was born in Beijing, Northeast is his root." Life at ho will get better and better, but the little son needs to know that the past wasn’t easy, and today’s good life is the result of everyone’s hard work.
The Northeast is Xiao Zhi’s root, and also their root... Gong Ruini looked at Gong Tao in surprise. You should know he always used to talk about how their hotown was. How co now he’s letting Xiao Zhi rember his roots, what’s going on?
"Our hotown only brings trouble. The reason our family’s life is getting better is all thanks to our efforts in the Northeast." Gong Tao said the hotown is still ho, but it doesn’t require much attention.
"And your brother was born in Beijing, with not many playmates around. I’m really worried he’ll turn out like Ni Zi." A quiet girl is fine, but if it’s a boy, Gong Tao is really worried.
What’s wrong with being like her, Gong Ruini was dissatisfied, "I’m so well-behaved."
"I can even co up with ways to make money."
"What’s wrong with ?"
Hmph, Gong Ruini was totally discontented, and Zhao Guangran, getting caught in the crossfire, was used to it, but she wouldn’t take the hit.
Seeing his daughter’s displeasure, what could Gong Tao say, "I just think it’s better for boys to be more robust, Ni Zi, you’re too quiet."
Hmm, that’s a nice way to put it, being quiet. Gong Ruini felt slightly appeased, "Don’t worry, when the ti cos, send your brother to kindergarten, and he definitely won’t be quiet."
Sotis Hua Miaozhu helps look after the child here. How can an elderly lady take care of children properly? As for the parents, although they say they won’t be too biased or spoil Gong Ruizhi, they unconsciously think the child is young and shouldn’t do anything dangerous.
With all these restrictions, not letting him go out, even if he wants to be robust, he wouldn’t know how. But when he goes to Zhuge Zhi’s house, and is with them, Gong Ruini guarantees he definitely won’t be quiet.
"Ah, let him interact more with Ban Xia and the others." Thinking of the kids at Zhuge Zhi’s, Gong Tao didn’t want to say anything in front of Zhao Gang to avoid making Zhao Gang feel bad, but as a father, he still wanted to ntion it.
Zhao Guangran, that troublemaker, has already caused enough trouble. He couldn’t possibly drag his own child down too. Otherwise, they’d really be crying.
"Yes, yes." Zhao Gang wasn’t angry at all, "That boy Guangran is no good."
Poor Zhao Guangran, who has always been thinking of getting along well with Gong Ruizhi and taking him under his wing, but seeing the intentions of the two elders, they absolutely wouldn’t let him have much contact with Gong Ruizhi.
Not knowing how Zhao Guangran would feel after knowing Zhao Gang’s decision, it’s really sothing to look forward to.
