Chapter 428: Vision

After buying the house, Luo Hong decided to go back.

Before taking the exam, they left their addresses in the prefectural city. When the time came, people from the prefectural government would go to inform their family members who had passed the exam, and the registration procedures for the candidates would also be handled at the local government office at the registered address.

Luo Hong left thirty taels of silver for housekeeper Zhang, asking him to tidy up the house, repair what needed to be done, and do what needed to be done.

The remaining money is the salary of housekeeper Zhang, which is three taels and eight cents a month. Luo Hong did not increase or reduce his salary. Thirty taels should be enough for half a year, and he will bring him the money in the second half of the year.

The day before Luo Hong left, he invited Chen Ziqi and Shen Wanshan to dinner. Since this was a business dinner, he did not bring anyone else.

Although Chen Ziqi's mother is now free from the scumbag, a woman with a child always needs to be able to make a living.

After Shen Wanshan came to the provincial capital, Luo Hong introduced Shen Wanshan to Chen Ziqi.

Chen Ziqi's mother had two dowry shops in the provincial capital, which had been rented out before. After she returned to the provincial capital, she wanted to take them back and start the embroidery business again.

However, she had been away for too long, and the embroidery business in the provincial capital had basically been saturated. Her skills and vision could help her start a good business in the county.

It’s not so easy to return to the state capital.

Therefore, in the half year since she came back, the embroidery workshop's business has been in a state of loss. Chen Ziqi felt very guilty and would copy books or write sketchbooks to make money in addition to studying.

When it comes to picture books, it was Luo Hong who gave him the inspiration. It was only after Luo Hong came to the provincial capital that he discovered that Liu Qianxue's scumbag ex-boyfriend was doing quite well. The Journey to the West comics had been updated to more than 200 volumes, and he should have made a lot of money.

He recommended it to everyone around him, telling them that if they had ideas, they could try writing picture books.

At first, these scholars were self-righteous, but after Luo Hong counselled them several times, they came to understand that money was more important than face. Besides, they all used pseudonyms, so who knew that they were the ones who wrote the picture book.

Chen Ziqi was quite talented. He wrote her mother's story, which was very popular. Of course, he used a pseudonym. The ladies of the prefecture were very inspired by it, which led to fewer marriages between poor scholars and young ladies during that period.

Chen Ziqi made money and was even more grateful to Luo Hong. The two of them were truly friends regardless of age difference.

When Shen Wanshan approached Luo Hong, Luo Hong immediately thought of Chen Ziqi's mother. After all, she was a lady from a big chamber of commerce, so how could she not have some business acumen?

He brought the two parties together and they hit it off immediately.

In addition to the two shops owned by Chen Ziqi's mother, the provincial government rented five more shops, opening a total of seven shops. In the following years, the business was expanded to the surrounding counties and provincial capital.

Of course, it has a lot to do with Chen Ziqi's mother. She borrowed her brother's power, which allowed the fast food store to run so smoothly.

They renegotiated the mode of cooperation. The profits of the 26 new shops opened in the provincial capital were divided among Lin Weizhong, Chen Ziqi and Shen Wanshan. After all, Liu Caixia would give the fast food shops a new food recipe every month.

The development of fast food restaurants is inseparable from these food recipes.

After the three parties agreed on the proportions, the provincial government was mainly responsible for Chen Ziqi's mother, and the accounts of the surrounding county towns and prefectural cities were all settled by the provincial government.

At this point, business in the north and south was back on track.

Shen Wanshan was also preparing to leave. He wanted to expand his fast food business to the entire Zhongzhou. There were also two prefectures on the east and west sides, so he had to go there in person.

Luo Hong brought Lin Keyu, Chen Ziqi and his mother, and Shen Wanshan brought his wife.

The six people were sitting in a private room of the restaurant. As to why they did not go to their own fast food restaurant, it was of course because the fast food restaurant did not have private rooms and only served the middle and lower market business.

Shen Wanshan: "Qing Liuniang, what do you think of my previous proposal? Brother Lin and I sincerely invite you. Forget about the business in Nanshan Prefecture. Next, the business in the east and west prefectures are newly expanded businesses. We sincerely invite you to join us."

Chen Ziqi's mother was the sixth daughter of the Qing family. After becoming a widow, she returned to her parents' home and became the current Liu Niang.

Qing Liuniang: "I have discussed with Ziqi. Since the two elder brothers think highly of Liuniang, I will be embarrassed if I continue to be hesitant. Brother Wanshan, you can do it boldly. I will back you up. The costs will be the same as before. Just tell me how much silver you need and I will send it to you as soon as it is ready. If you need any help when you get there, you can also go to Qingshan Chamber of Commerce. This is the badge my mother gave me. Although my reputation is not very good, they only dare to discuss it in private. They must be accommodating in public."

Shen Wanshan took a coin with a unique pattern printed on it, a green character on the front and an unknown symbol on the back. He didn't ask any questions and just put it away.

"That's great. It's a blessing for us brothers that Sixth Lady can join. In the future, I will set up a headquarters in the state capital and a separate headquarters in Nanshan Prefecture. The accounts of the two headquarters will be settled separately."

In fact, Lin Weizhong was also willing to share the business in Nanshan Prefecture, but Shen Wanshan felt that they did not have too lofty ambitions and just needed to do well in Zhongzhou. At present, they did not want to expand their business to other places, so this was enough. If there were any changes in the future, they could renegotiate at that time.

After all, Lin Weizhong needed money now, and since Shen Wanshan insisted, he had no choice but to accept.

Qing Liuniang was also very happy. Now she had her own things to do, and she was also very happy that her son had a like-minded partner. Although this partner seemed a little old, it did not affect her son's willingness to make friends.

Now that she has such a good business, she feels that there is hope for the future. If her son can get into high school this time, she will be able to stand up straight and have more confidence in her mother's home.

"Uncle Luo, have you found a caravan for your return trip tomorrow? It would be better to find a caravan to travel with."

Luo Hong: "I've found it, it's the same Su Family Business as before, we are already familiar with them. And Sixth Lady, please don't call me uncle, it messes up the generations."

"Yeah, the hierarchy has been messed up for a long time."

Luo Hong knew that etiquette was still very strict at this time, so he simply said, "It's okay, just call me grandpa from now on, don't call me uncle, hahaha."

Qing Liuniang felt bad, and then looked at Lin Keyu, who was as tall as Chen Ziqi. After thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle Luo, you guys can talk about your own things. Sometimes you don't have to care too much about these common names."

Lin Keyu is the younger generation in their family, and it would be more appropriate for her to make friends with Chen Ziqi of the same generation. Except for her poor vision in finding men for herself, she has good vision in other aspects.
