Back to the 70s: My Childhood Sweetheart Spoils Me Rotten-Chapter 783 - 785: The Formula Costs Money

Cai Ming and the others were worried that once the news spread, the Wei Family would create small obstacles for them.

But until they left, no one played any tricks on them.

Not only did no one play tricks, but a bank even proactively approached them and was willing to provide a loan.

"Did we worry for nothing?" Zhao Guangran looked puzzled.

Cai Ming sat in his chair, equally puzzled, "If it were in Beijing, I wouldn’t be surprised if a bank took the initiative to approach us."

"But isn’t it a good thing that the bank is willing to lend?" Gong Zhuang didn’t understand why everyone present seemed to have a problematic expression.

Gong Ruini glanced at Gong Zhuang, "What if it’s a trap?"

It’s not unheard of for someone to borrow money from a bank and then disappear or find ways not to repay it.

But they wanted to do business, and if their reputation was ruined, it would be incredibly difficult to rise again.

"We just have to repay the money," Gong Zhuang thought it was simple, "Besides, we are a foreign-funded company, and making a big fuss wouldn’t be good."

Exactly, Cai Ming slapped his own head, this factory was his, but it was also a foreign-funded factory, if someone really wanted to make trouble, it wouldn’t be him who would have to deal with it.

"And labor is cheap, we can sell our products outside," Zhao Xuran suggested, "Aren’t a lot of factories selling their products outside?"

"That’s to be discussed after we find a way, it would be great if we could explore outside," Cai Ming wasn’t foolish, those people came here to set up factories, was it truly just for the so-called roots?

For business people, roots need to be considered, but making money is a bigger priority, and domestic labor is cheap.

"Let’s take things slowly, we also don’t know what’s best to do now." Cai Ming, despite having many ideas, knew they needed to take it step by step, without rushing.

"First, secure the land, as long as we start the factory, there’s nothing to worry about. Ni Zi, didn’t you say before you wanted to set up a food processing factory, what do you think about starting it now?"

Cai Ming frequently traveled for work, and he deeply experienced the food conditions on trains.

Previously, he didn’t have this idea because he was too busy at the time, but now with such a good opportunity, how could he miss it?

Ah, start the factory now? Gong Ruini was surprised, "Wasn’t this not considered currently?"

"It’s worth considering now; the food on the train for business trips is terrible," Cai Ming suggested a plan, getting more convinced it was a good idea.

"We can spot opportunities, so can others, maybe they’ve already started, we can’t lag behind for too long."

Cai Ming was a man of his word, "And we’ll continue to use the identity of Hong Kong-funded enterprises to set up the factory."

Ha, "Those people wish we’d get tangled in, so let’s just start a few more factories and occupy more land."

"If the products are good, we might promote them outside," Cai Ming got excited just thinking about it, "In Beijing alone, I think we can sell quite a bit."

Looking at an excited Cai Ming, Gong Ruini didn’t know what to say, in any industry, sometimes entering early can gain an advantage.

"Done," Zhao Xuran thought for a moment and agreed, "We can also start making marinated foods."

"Alright, it’s settled. Oh, Brother, ask Sister-in-law to join us later, we need to discuss the profit-sharing," Cai Ming remembered that the Miao Family had initially given them some recipes.

Although the recipe had been improved later, the Miao Family couldn’t be bypassed.

When Gong Zhuang heard that Cai Ming wanted to set up a food processing factory, he was moved; in these times, regardless of the industry, food and drink are always good ventures.

Gong Zhuang wanted to get involved but didn’t know Cai Ming and the others’ plans, so he stayed silent, thankfully Cai Ming remembered them, "I’ll have Cuihua go to Beijing right away."

"Uncle, it’s best to ask the Miao Family’s opinion on this matter," Although the Miao Family had given them the recipe initially without saying much, their opinion couldn’t be ignored.

Before, it was just small-scale actions to earn some pocket money, so they took it. But now, with the potential to earn big money, what if the profit is hefty, and the older couple of the Miao Family have no opinion, but what about their descendants?

At the very least, wouldn’t Miao Cuihua have some objections? Gong Ruini wouldn’t let the relationship sour over a little money.

Why ask the Miao Family? "This was given to your aunt," Gong Zhuang’s first reaction was that involving the Miao Family wouldn’t be good.

"It was given to Aunt, then Aunt gave it to us, but now we’re starting a factory, which means making big money. While the elders are still around, some rules should be established."

"Actually, we could buy it," Zhao Xuran thought it unnecessary to give them shares. Their families had always collaborated, and they knew each other’s temperaments well.

Add suddenly a Miao Family member, how would that be calculated, Zhao Xuran wasn’t keen on the idea.

Gong Zhuang was also quite apprehensive; in the long term, equity is naturally more advantageous, as it guarantees continuous returns as long as the factory exists. However, Zhao Xuran probably wasn’t very happy about it.

"I’ll call my wife to check," this matter needed the Miao Family to decide. Even though he had a good standing in the Miao Family now as a son-in-law, he couldn’t make this decision.

Zhao Guangran felt that Gong Ruini was overthinking, as Gong Zhuang stepped out to make the call, "Are you stupid?"

If you use the recipe for shares, you wouldn’t need to spend a penny, just wait at home for the dividends; this was like taking money.

Zhao Guangran wasn’t keen on this idea. Before he refrained from speaking to avoid internal conflicts from erupting.

Ha, calling her stupid? Gong Ruini didn’t want to engage with this guy. It might feel like she was being a bit foolish now, but ignoring the issue could become a big problem sooner or later; it was just uncertain when it would occur.

Once the Miao Family makes a choice, wanting to change their mind later would be hard.

Gong Jiaming and Sister Gong Jiaxin huddled quietly on the side, unsure of what to say now; both sides were relatives, offending either wouldn’t be good.

"Shut up." This foolish younger brother, even if you thought Ni Zi silly, don’t say it in front of Gong Jiaming’s siblings; it would be awkward for them.

"Again with the silence! This was clearly stirred up by Ni Zi, didn’t even Uncle Gong think about it?" Zhao Guangran genuinely felt indignant, but he had to endure it.

"You see, they offered something, if we don’t make money, then using it as it is wouldn’t matter, but now we are to profit, would you be willing to trade places?"

Of course not, Zhao Guangran actually wanted to say, he wouldn’t naively put the recipe out there, who knows when it might be needed for money-making.

But he couldn’t say this because the person he regarded as a fool was Gong Jiaming’s grandmother’s family.

Not long after, Gong Zhuang returned to the room, "Once Cuihua has arranged things, she’ll head to Beijing and let us know the Miao Family’s decision."

"Ni Zi, your aunt wanted me to thank you." Regardless of which method the Miao Family chose, this was something Gong Ruini helped them strive for, and Gong Zhuang had to thank Gong Ruini.

Having someone understand finally made Gong Ruini feel much better; otherwise, being labeled a fool wouldn’t sit well with anyone.
