Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 675 - 677: Is This a Discussion?

Gong Ruini and the others were really nervous, after all, it was the most nerve-wracking time of the year.

What, what did you say, it’s the New Year’s money? Please, even though they’re just kids, who really cares about that bit of New Year’s money, it’s not much anyway.

What they care about is the profit sharing from the business, especially after they found out the test papers were selling well, they all went crazy.

Otherwise, they really wouldn’t be motivated to deal with the exam papers. Without any income, who would be so proactive, wouldn’t they just do their own things?

But what’s the point of just knowing the business is good if you don’t know the profit, let alone seeing the money. To say you don’t miss it would be a lie.

Finally, they waited for the day they could get the money, which was pretty quick. Except for Gong Ruzhi, who was still fast asleep, all the kids, including Zhan Banxia, were watching them with big eyes.

Gong Tao found it amusing, "They’ve never been this excited about New Year’s money before."

"Of course, how much is New Year’s money anyway." Zhao Guangran would’ve shouted out and vented his excitement if he wasn’t worried about waking Gong Ruzhi.

"Alright, I know you’re anxious." Gong Tao wanted to joke around a bit more, but the kids were staring at him too intensely, and he couldn’t avoid it.

Since that’s the case, might as well report quickly. Even though he had the data, he still reported all the sales and printing fees.

Gong Ruini was watching carefully, actually wanting to say there was no need to go into so much detail, just tell them how much each person could get would be better. Even though this money would probably be spent quickly,

but even if they could sleep with the money for a few nights, she would still be happy.

Gong Tao quickly finished reading some of the data, "Do you have any questions?"

"No questions, no questions." With so much profit, Gong Ruini and the others had no complaints.

Gong Ruini was very excited. She knew these test papers were quite profitable, but she didn’t expect them to make so much, it really scared her.

Zhao Guangran quickly regained his composure, "Uncle Gong, when will the profit be shared?"

No matter how much is said or how much is earned, it still needs to be shared.

Yes, yes, everyone looked at Gong Tao, just waiting for him to say when they would get the money.

Look, these kids really don’t want to delay the profit sharing for a moment. Gong Tao really didn’t know if he should lecture them about being so money-minded at such a young age, but he held back.

"Before sharing the profit, I have something to discuss with everyone." Gong Tao had originally planned to talk about it in a few days, but it seemed that couldn’t be delayed.

Ah, discuss? Gong Ruini’s heart suddenly leaped, could it be that the adults don’t want to share the profit now that they see how much money there is? If that’s the case, can they still cooperate in the future?

Zhao Guangran’s expression also changed a bit, after all, they had worked really hard, maintaining good grades, constantly producing exams to make money, it was all hard-earned cash.

They never expected that even with such hard-earned money, their parents would be reluctant to miss out, it was truly annoying.

"Ugh." Gong Tao was angry, although no one protested, their eyes really betrayed their thoughts, "Do you think we don’t want to give you the money?"

If Zhao Guangran wasn’t worried about getting scolded by the adults, he’d have jumped out to say how wouldn’t they? But he couldn’t say it, although his eyes could express it.

"What I mean is that we could set up a printing factory so we can earn even more money." Gong Tao explained why he wasn’t planning to share the profit this time.

Setting up a printing factory, Gong Ruini was really surprised. According to their previous thoughts, this business would only last a few more years; no matter how smart they were, they could only come up with so many question types.

Besides, if the business was doing so well now, how could others not notice?

No matter how noble a person is, there would be times when they have to bend to reality, especially if someone claiming to be a top-tier teacher released test papers.

Their test papers were selling well because their grades spoke for themselves, and later on, as some found them useful, the reputation slowly improved. But no matter how good the reputation is, it couldn’t withstand the possibility of teachers trying their hand at it.

Gong Ruini was worried about that now, but she could only think about it in her heart. Would saying too much make this child seem terrifying?

Zhao Xuran thought for a moment, "What if the test papers don’t sell well? Opening a printing factory could be a loss, right?"

In doing this business now, at most, they would lose some money on the current printed books. But if they start a factory, they would have to pay workers, and if there’s no work, they’d have to support these workers, which could lead to a financial shortfall in the long run.

Yes, yes, at critical moments like this, you have to rely on Zhao Xuran. Don’t mind how Zhao Guangran looks impressive, thinking he’s quite capable. Actually, at crucial times, you still have to rely on Zhao Xuran.

This issue, Gong Tao had considered, but he really didn’t have a solution, "The main problem is that the attitude of the printing factory we’ve been working with has changed, acting indifferent to our needs."

"They’ve been demanding price increases too." Gong Tao was really angry, "If we could cooperate, I wouldn’t want to go through this trouble."

Oh, oh, what a hassle, but since the problem had arisen, what could be done? Currently, the test papers’ business was still fairly good, so we couldn’t just give it up now, right?

Zhao Gang spoke up with his opinion, "Actually, after opening the printing factory, Gong and I can go out and look for more business. Worst case, we can talk to Little Wan."

Cai Meina wasn’t very happy about it, as she was worried about how this would make the Wan Family view her brother. You can’t be dating Wan Qiweng while trying to make money off the Wan Family, who would be happy about that?

Seeing his wife wasn’t pleased, Gong Tao immediately stated this would be the last option since the brother-in-law’s family was way less well-off than the Wan Family, and if it wasn’t for Wan Qiweng’s insistence on marrying, where would they get such a good opportunity?

At this moment, the elder sister and brother-in-law should be supporting the brother-in-law, rather than looking to the Wan Family, but they couldn’t really operate at a loss, "At worst, we wouldn’t profit from it then."

"Moreover, I’ve looked into schools; don’t they need to print so many test papers each year or something? I intend to try and see if we can get this for our factory." Zhao Gang thought quickly and targeted a profitable business.

Doing business with schools, it was indeed a great option. Gong Ruini thought if they could really secure that, the factory might actually do well.

"I’ll see if our school has such business opportunities." Zhan Jing wouldn’t be left behind; even though she was a student, thanks to her father and Zhuge Zhi, she knew quite a few professors from schools.

After all, with a situation of small profits but quick turnover, Zhan Jing wasn’t worried they would oppose.

With the adults actively seeking clients and the previous printing factory not being very cooperative, the decision to start a printing factory was happily made. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

After hearing this decision, Zhao Guangran’s little face fell; he had been counting on the profit sharing, but who would care about his feelings?
