Chapter 199: Advice and Plans
"Before coming, I took inventory of our accounts during this period. This account book records the accounts and profits during this period." Gu Qingyu handed the accounts to Zhou Weiguo and others.
"As we agreed before, 10% of the total profit will be left to you, Brother Zhou. I have already deposited the money in the savings account. Now I will give it to you!" As he said that, Gu Qingyu stuffed the passbook he had prepared in advance into Zhou Weiguo's hand.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the account book in his hand, especially the number in the total profit column, and was shocked. According to this calculation, the four of them could share 12,000 yuan.
"This...isn't this too much!" Zhou Weiguo stuttered.
Seeing Zhou Weiguo's anxious look, Gu Qingyu quickly advised, "Brother Zhou, don't refuse. This is what we agreed on in advance!"
At that time, Sun Lei also spoke up to persuade him, "Yes, Brother Zhou! We agreed on this at the beginning, so just accept it with peace of mind."
"In that case, the four of us brothers won't be polite!" Zhou Weiguo picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured a full glass, and said to Gu Qingyu and the others, "Ms. Gu, Lei Zi! Thank you for helping us brothers make a fortune!"
"Old Zhou can't speak, everything is in the wine!" With that, the four of them picked up their glasses and drank it all in one gulp!
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu said politely, "You are so kind! Our safety along the way depends on the four of you. You deserve this money."
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Gu Qingyu took out a thick red envelope from her bag and handed it to Chen Mingzhu.
"Mingzhu, thank you for your hard work during this period. Take this!"
"Wow! Do I have one too?" Chen Mingzhu asked in surprise.
"Then I won't be polite!" Chen Mingzhu said as she reached out to take the red envelope handed over by Gu Qingyu and began to look at it.
Gu Qingyu looked at Chen Mingzhu who was excitedly opening the red envelope, and asked jokingly with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"Haha, I'm so satisfied!" Chen Mingzhu said without any politeness.
Sun Lei smelled the delicious aroma of the food on the table, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. "Alright... stop being so polite to each other. Come and try this palace cuisine and see how it tastes."
Gu Qingyu agreed, "Right, right, right! Come and try this palace dish. It's said to be made by the descendants of the imperial chef!"
Gu Qingyu also picked up his chopsticks to taste the food. As expected of a descendant of the imperial chef, the dish was really well cooked!
For a moment, the dining table was filled with the shadows of flying chopsticks. Everyone was too busy talking to start shoveling food into their mouths!
After a risky meal, everyone slumped back in their chairs, fully satisfied with the food and digesting the satisfaction it brought.
"Oh my, it's worthy of being the legendary imperial dish. It tastes so good, I'm almost stuffed!"
"I'm full too!"
Everyone looked at each other's postures spread out on the chairs and couldn't help laughing. They all looked so similar.
After resting for a while, Gu Qingyu told Zhou Weiguo and others that she and Chen Yuanchao did not plan to continue setting up the stall.
Zhou Weiguo couldn't understand why Gu Qingyu would suddenly give up such a lucrative business, and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Gu, are you really not going to continue?"
"Well, I really gave up... I will focus on my studies from now on!" Gu Qingyu nodded affirmatively.
Gu Qingyu continued to speak to Zhou Weiguo and the other three, "Today's meal is both a celebration and a farewell dinner. I wish you four all the best in the future."
Since Gu Qingyu said so, Zhou Weiguo and the other three had no choice but to accept it. What else could they do?
They have some money now, but without Gu Qingyu's relationship, it would be difficult for them to do business if they were to go out and work on their own.
After eating and drinking, Gu Qingyu and the others went home and parted ways.
On the way back, Sun Lei thought about what Chen Yuanchao and Gu Qingyu had said, and asked Gu Qingyu worriedly, "Qingyu, what are you going to do about Uncle Gu?"
Gu Qingyu heard this and said in a cold tone, "Strike the snake at its weakest point. Since Chen Qingxue was the one behind this, I will naturally start with my two good brothers!"
"I will handle this matter myself, so don't interfere." Gu Qingyu said to Sun Lei.
No matter what, this is a matter between Gu Qingyu and Gu An, and it is not appropriate for Sun Lei to interfere.
"Okay! Having said that, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask me." Sun Lei warned Gu Qingyu worriedly.
Gu Qingyu nodded and thanked Sun Lei for his kindness. "I'm almost home. You should go home early too!"
The two separated near Gu Qingyu's house. Gu Qingyu walked slowly towards her home alone in the moonlight, while thinking in her mind what she should do this time.
The lesson given to the Gu family must be quick, harsh, and accurate, and at the same time, it must not attract everyone's attention to oneself. After all, in this era, personal reputation is still very important.
It’s not worth it to sacrifice my family’s good reputation for these messed up things of the Gu family!
Also, we need to understand the situation of the Lin family. We can't act rashly. If we offend them, it will be bad.
For a family like the Lin family, crushing her is as easy as crushing an ant. Gu Qingyu is unwilling to confront such a family unless it is absolutely necessary.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu couldn't help but hate Gu An and his wife who were causing trouble for her.
Originally, Gu Qingyu wanted to finish the business before school started so that he could have a good rest.
Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. Unexpectedly, Gu An intervened and she encountered this bad luck. It seems that her rest plan has been ruined.
Gu Qingyu rested at home for two days before she recovered. She was about to go out to deal with the affairs of the Gu family, but she didn't expect that after thinking at home for two days, Sun Lei came to Qingyu's courtyard and gave her a big surprise.
"You resigned?" Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei, who was drinking tea leisurely in front of him, in disbelief and asked loudly.
"Well! I just finished all the procedures today!" Sun Lei said proudly as he handed the resignation certificate in his hand to Gu Qingyu.
Gu Qingyu reached out to take it, and looking at the big words "Resignation" on the document and the bright red official seal in the lower right corner, he had to confirm that Sun Lei had really resigned.
"Have you told your family about this?"
Sun Wei immediately became depressed after hearing this. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Uh... I didn't dare to say it!"
Gu Qingyu covered his forehead helplessly after hearing this, "You are really amazing, aren't you afraid that Uncle Sun will break your legs if he finds out?"
"Afraid! So Qingyu, can you take me in for a while?" Sun Lei came in front of Gu Qingyu and asked her cautiously and flatteringly.
What could Gu Qingyu do? After all, it was partly her fault. It would be unreasonable for her not to take Sun Lei in at this time!
"Alright! There are rooms on both the east and west sides. Pick one for yourself!"
Seeing that Gu Qingyu had given in, Sun Lei suddenly became happy again. He patted Gu Qingyu's shoulder with his big hand and said eagerly, "You are worthy of being my boss. You are so righteous!"
Gu Qingyu couldn't stand Sun Lei's smug look, so she warned him, "Come on, you should think about what to do next!"
"Hey, Qingyu, I know you always have a lot of ideas. Can you help me plan the way forward?"
As he was talking, Sun Lei actually wanted to go up and massage her shoulders, which made Gu Qingyu feel sick.
She slapped Sun Lei's outstretched hand away and said sternly to him, "Just sit still on the stool and stop doing these cheesy things!"
Sun Lei wasn't angry even after being hit by Gu Qingyu. He sat down on the stool obediently, then looked at Gu Qingyu eagerly and said, "I'll sit down, Qingyu! Can you tell me now?"
Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei, who was sitting on the stool like an elementary school student, and said helplessly, "I remember you weren't busy at work, and you read the newspaper every day, right?"
"Yeah, every day I just drink tea and read the newspaper. This job is so boring, I can see the end at a glance, so I made up my mind to quit!"
Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei, who was still grumbling about the boredom of his work, and reminded him, "Since you read the newspaper every day, did you notice the recent article in the Industrial and Commercial Daily about Vancouver's first individual business owner obtaining a business license?"
Sun Lei scratched his head and asked in confusion, "It seems to be true, but what does this have to do with me?"
Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei, who was still not understanding, and said with a look of dismay, "Why is it not related?"
"It doesn't matter if we just did some small things before, but now that you've resigned and decided to continue, we have to formalize the operation!"
"Otherwise, even if you make money, someone could report you for tax evasion and send you to jail."
Sun Lei was also shocked when he heard Gu Qingyu say this. He asked unsurely, "Is it that serious?"
Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei, who was still a little bit unconvinced, and had to remind him, "Don't forget, there is still the crime of speculation and profiteering. It's just that the people don't report it now and the officials don't investigate it."
In recent years, many second-generation people like them have been arrested for taking advantage of their parents' power to engage in speculation and profiteering. Now, after hearing what Gu Qingyu said, Sun Lei was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Then...what should I do with this business license?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu did not intend to tell Sun Lei directly what to do. He believed that only after experiencing something personally could he truly gain knowledge.
"You should ask me about this too. Find out for yourself!"
Seeing that Gu Qingyu was angry, Sun Lei didn't dare to ask any more questions. "Oh, don't be angry, I'll go find out what to do later, okay?"
Gu Qingyu nodded at this, and then instructed Sun Lei, "After you go to the industrial and commercial department for consultation, go to the tax department and ask what taxes you will need to pay in the future. Find out everything clearly."
"Also, after the company is established, don't be afraid to spend money. Hire a professional lawyer as a consultant to help you with the review. Got it?"
"I understand, I understand! Anything else?"
Gu Qingyu turned around and almost laughed out of anger. It turned out that Sun Lei took out a notebook from his bag and wrote down everything Gu Qingyu said.
"You are so smart!" Gu Qingyu said sarcastically to the other party.
Sun Lei was not ashamed when he heard this, but proudly said, "A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Aren't I just afraid that I will forget it?"
After these words were spoken, Gu Qingyu was speechless for a while!
"After the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law moved out, my yard became empty. You can clean it up and use it as your company's office."
"As for Zhou Weiguo and others, it depends on your own thoughts!" Gu Qingyu paused here and did not continue.
Zhou Weiguo and others are old subordinates of Sun Lei's father. Whether they should continue to cooperate depends on Sun Lei's own choice. Gu Qingyu is not in a position to give any advice.
Sun Lei stopped writing when he heard this. He understood what Gu Qingyu had not finished saying.
In the previous collaborations, Gu Qingyu gave the other party 10% of the profit for Sun Lei's sake, which was actually a lot of concessions.
If he were to formally establish a company now, he could not divide the shares so simply and crudely.
"I'll ask Brother Zhou and the others about this later. We'll state our conditions upfront. Whether they accept it or not depends on their willingness!"
When Gu Qingyu heard Sun Lei say this, she knew that he had an idea in mind. Seeing this, she didn't say anything more.
After Sun Lei got advice from Gu Qingyu, he began to busy himself with company preparations.
Gu Qingyu was not idle either. She spent a lot of money to hire someone to keep an eye on the two brothers of the Gu family and find out their activities clearly.
We also figured out how these two people got the steel - to put it bluntly, these two people got something for nothing.
They took advantage of Lin Jueming's lover and got the steel plant's share receipts through her. They then spread the word that they had shares to attract those who were in urgent need of materials to buy steel from them, and made a profit by buying low and selling high.
Gu Qingyu took a general look at the matter and felt that it was done in a very crude manner and was full of loopholes. It looked like the beauty was making money through the two Gu brothers.
Gu Qingyu thought about it and decided to tell the Lin family about this matter. Then he wouldn't have to do anything himself, as the Lin family would handle the matter. And the Gu Dongsheng brothers who helped to make money would definitely not end up well!
But which member of the Lin family should this news be told to? Gu Qingyu touched his chin and thought.
Thinking of the news he had heard before, that Lin Jueming's first wife's son seemed to have returned to Beijing for recuperation, Gu Qingyu immediately had an idea - I'll find you, Young Master Lin!
However, she had to first ask someone to find out the whereabouts of Young Master Lin so that she could send the information in her hand to him. Thinking of this, Gu Qingyu went to ask someone for news about Lin Zhao.
Things were starting to look promising, and Gu Qingyu felt much better. Thinking that school was about to start and she hadn't prepared the things she needed for school, she asked Chen Mingzhu to go shopping together.
