Gu Zhang thought for a moment, "There are actually many people, and they can be trusted. Your eldest uncle is an honest man, but your eldest uncle is illiterate."
"The village chief - uh, it's the sixth uncle's house, where gold and silver are born. They are all literate and reliable."
Gu Fei glanced at Chen, "Dad, going to sea is a dangerous thing. We are all relatives, so I'm afraid-"
Gu Zhang waved his hand, "I understand what you mean. , But you don't understand that we people all trade our lives for money."
"We don't care about the risks, as long as we can make money."
"My father wants to give them a hand, and secondly, he only has his own relatives. I'm relieved."
Gu Fei nodded. There are risks in going to sea, but it doesn't mean that you will die. Besides, high risks also mean high rewards.
Gu Zhang looked at Gu Fei and said, "If you really decide to buy a boat, don't go out to sea for the first time. Dad will take a few people with you."
Gu Fei's face changed slightly, "Dad, is it dangerous to go to sea? , I'd better go."
Mrs. Chen said anxiously from the side: "You are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go, our family has enough money now, I couldn't even think about it in this day, why do we have to do such dangerous things!"
"As long as the whole family eats glutinous rice together, I'm willing to do it."
Gu Zhang shook his head, "You don't understand."
It's true that the little rich will be content, but when the opportunity that can change the fate of the entire family is placed in front of you, No matter how big the risk is, it's worth it.
His daughter had the opportunity right in front of him, but he didn't even have the courage to do it?
Gu Fei waved his hand, "Dad, let's discuss this later. We haven't bought the boat yet."
"I'll go to the city later. Dad and I will take people to these shops to have a look. Don't do anything yet. Just Tell them they have changed their owners."
"Then buy some literate or smart boys and train them first so that no one will be available later."
Gu Zhang nodded and sighed, "Our family's foundation is still too weak."
Suddenly there was a shop and land, but not even a useful steward.
Usually I think I have many sons, but when it comes time to use them, there is only one Erlang left.
Fortunately, they have been taught to read since childhood, otherwise they would have been blinded.
The family discussed it roughly, but Chen's objections were ineffective. Seeing Gu Zhang and Gu Fei insisting on going their own way, Chen almost cried.
Gu Fei hugged her mother and said, "Mom, don't worry too much. Nothing will happen."
What can Chen do? Gu Zhang and Gu Fei are both beyond her control.
After appeasing Mrs. Chen, Gu Fei and Gu Zhang took Erlang's car into the city again.
The three of them went to look around the three shops owned by Butler Wu. One was a grain and oil shop, one sold rouge and gouache, and the other was a silver shop. The silver shop was on Furong Street, not far from the inn.
Gu Zhang came out with the house deed, explained his identity, and called these people to the inn.
These people heard yesterday that Butler Wu was beaten to death and his home was ransacked.
They were just the shopkeepers hired by Butler Wu, and they felt very uneasy for a while. They estimated that the new owner was either the master of the palace, or someone related to several masters, and he didn't know whether they would be allowed to continue working.
Gu Fei and Gu Zhang checked the accounts for the past month and found that they had not taken care of the previous ones. Seeing that there were no problems in the accounts and that they had made a lot of money, Gu Fei said: "This shop, since the shopkeepers are very good at managing it. Okay, let's continue like this. We'll pay the bills once a month. I'll add 10% to the wages Butler Wu pays. Just take good care of the shop from now on."
