Early the next morning, Gu the second brother and Second Sister-in-law Gu brought Gu Min to Gu’s mother to wait for Brother Gu’s family.
As soon as they saw Brother Gu and Sister-in-law coming over, they quickly stood up to wait for them to co over.
Sister-in-law noticed their deanor and knew that they must be here because of yesterday’s incident.
"Brother and Sister-in-law, Hong i went ho yesterday and talked to . We’ve discussed it too, please take us along with you and our spouses."
As they approached, Gu the second brother quickly spoke up.
"My wife and I have also thought it over. As long as you two are willing, we will join, but we need to be clear upfront. We’re siblings, but everything needs to be clear in business. There are profits and losses. If there’s a loss, please don’t bla us."
Brother Gu had thought about this for a long ti since Sister-in-law talked to him about it.
He was worried that if the business failed, their sibling relationship would be strained.
"Brother, we understand this. If what you said really happens, we’d continue living as we are now, and we would never bla you."
Gu the second brother quickly assured him.
Second Sister-in-law Gu kept nodding beside him.
"Okay, as long as you’re sure, then after finishing our current work, let’s quickly put together a set of dowries."
Brother Gu was decisive when it ca to action.
Since they decided to do it, it was important to plan early.
"Alright, Brother, just let us know what you and Sister-in-law want us to do."
Brother Gu nodded.
Gu’s mother ca out of the kitchen and saw them standing at the courtyard gate.
"Hurry up and co in, why are you standing there? Breakfast is ready, let’s eat and then get to work."
She invited them all inside to eat breakfast.
After Brother Gu and Gu the second brother finished their tasks, they both turned away so incoming work by finding excuses.
They left only the non-urgent tasks.
They both worked tirelessly at ho and completed the dowries in a week.
Because these were for sale, they paid extra attention to detail.
After applying a coat of paint on them, another week passed.
They hired a car to transport the finished pieces to Gu Yi’s place, and the next day was New Year’s Day.
As they unloaded the items, they caused quite a stir.
The Gu Family Brothers’ craftsmanship was impressive, and they were finished with a festive red paint.
Visitors at Gu Yi’s shop were curious and asked about them.
Gu Yi explained that these were for sale and were a complete set of dowries.
She laughed and asked them to help introduce custors.
Brother Gu and Gu the second brother shared the tasks.
Brother Gu stayed to sell the items, initially thinking of asking Gu Yi to help with the sales.
But after considering it, knowing Gu Yi’s shop was already busy, it was decided that Brother Gu would stay instead.
With nothing else pressing, Gu the second brother continued with his other work.
On the day they moved the goods, Gu Yi gathered her two brothers.
"Brother, Second Brother, it’s great that you’re doing this together, but we need to set so rules first."
Gu Yi finished, and Brother Gu and Gu the second brother gave her a confused look.
"Rules?"
"Yes, like deciding who makes the goods, who sells them, how to divide the money, and what to do if business isn’t good, you need to discuss these things thoroughly."
Gu Yi looked at her brothers, knowing they hadn’t thought that far ahead.
"Hearing you say that, it’s true. We’ve just impulsively jumped into it. Yiyi, you know quite a bit now."
Brother Gu found Gu Yi’s words reasonable.
They carefully discussed the details, seeking Gu Yi’s opinion on many aspects.
Regarding production and sales, Gu Yi’s final suggestion was to take orders and sell.
Use the finished item as a sample and prepare another set at ho.
People would place orders, and then they would go back to produce them.
The prepared set was for custors who needed it urgently.
If business wasn’t going well, one person would stay here, and the other would continue with other work.
From now on, all earnings would be shared equally, considered as their joint inco.
Of course, those who stayed and swapped places could also be Sister-in-law or Second Sister-in-law.
At night, the items were stored in Gu Yi’s shop, and the person stayed over there.
In a few days, indeed, soone inquired about dowries.
A man in his fifties ca over.
Because the wedding was set urgently, and the daughter was to be married by the end of the year, they hadn’t started preparing the dowries yet.
Having heard that there were ready-made ones here, he ca over to take a look.
After seeing them, he was satisfied, and Brother Gu beca hopeful, thinking his opening sale was coming.
But in the end, the man said he needed to discuss it with his wife and left.
This left Brother Gu disappointed and in low spirits for the rest of the day.
Gu Yi noticed and quickly comforted her brother.
"Brother, business can’t be rushed. We can only ensure the quality of our products. Whether custors like them sotis depends on luck."
"Yes, I understand, but I was really hoping for a sale today. Am I not cut out for business?"
With the items not selling and unable to work at ho, all he could do was stay here.
A few days passed without a single sale, making him anxious.
Brother Gu felt discouraged and looked at Gu Yi.
"Brother, don’t lose heart so quickly; you just started. It will get better with ti."
Gu Yi knew he was anxious, but there was no other option but to wait.
Seeing Gu Yi frowning, Brother Gu quickly consoled her.
"It’s okay, Brother was just speaking his mind. Don’t worry about it, our products are that good, they’re bound to sell."
"Yes, indeed."
Gu Yi also smiled at her brother.
Surprisingly, two days later, the gentleman brought his wife over.
His wife was also satisfied and imdiately ordered a set.
They paid the deposit on the spot, and Brother Gu promised ho delivery.
They gave Brother Gu their ho address and set a delivery date before leaving.
"Yiyi, Yiyi, we did it, we did it."
Brother Gu was ecstatic and rushed to show Gu Yi the deposit.
"Brother, congratulations, this is just the beginning, business will only get better, but we must ensure quality."
Gu Yi was genuinely happy for her brother.
Since then, even if anxious, Brother Gu no longer showed it in front of her to avoid her worrying.
Finally, a good start.
"I’ll head back, and let your sister-in-law co over to stay here in the afternoon. I need to hurry back to finish the order."
This set of dowries was priced at 328 dollars for good fortune, and after costs, the profit was split between the two families, which was much better than earning wages from others.
