Chapter 1161: Chapter 1163
"We’re here." At this moment, Gong Ruini and the others realized one thing: Dai Liren was absolutely sticking with them.
Zhao Guangran drove them to a three-story detached house.
"Mom." Wan Yihui, although exhausted and rubbing his eyes repeatedly, was thrilled to see Wan Qiweng.
As soon as the car stopped, he quickly opened the door and jumped out.
"Mom." Wan Yihui, who held back his emotions in the country without crying, couldn’t help but feel excited to see his mom now.
Gong Ruini was excited too, but she had more responsibilities, like checking on Wan Qiweng’s condition.
"Don’t worry, I’ll come back every weekend." Gong Jiaxin whispered beside Gong Ruini.
"Aunt is really careful." Gong Jiaxin admired Wan Qiweng too, "Do you know that she even started a business here?"
Despite coming to the United States to await childbirth, Gong Ruini couldn’t believe Wan Qiweng would just rest quietly; she just didn’t know what business she was starting.
"What kind of business is it?" Gong Ruini was genuinely curious.
"Ginseng, exporting it to China," Gong Jiaxin whispered, "This stuff sells normally in the U.S., but there’s potential back home."
Pushing ginseng? Of course, Gong Ruini knew about it. Although its nutritional value was far inferior to local ginseng, its price was much lower.
When it was first introduced to China, the price was rather high, and Wan Qiweng thought of this.
"I think it’s doable. The yield of local ginseng isn’t high, but the yield of ginseng is, right?" Gong Ruini remembered Zhan Jing once considering planting ginseng.
Later, the plan wasn’t carried out, aside from going to Beijing for university after resuming college entrance exams, it was also because of the many complexities involved in planting ginseng.
"You know about this stuff?" Gong Jiaxin was surprised; Gong Ruini knew everything domestically because she read widely, but how did she know U.S. stuff?
Oops, she goofed up, as this stuff hadn’t been introduced domestically yet. "Well, I was just guessing; if the yield wasn’t high, Aunt wouldn’t consider importing it."
Gong Ruini was startled and kept this matter in mind, as this was the United States, not a place where her previous excuses would work.
"True." Gong Jiaxin hadn’t thought much; she was really just asking casually.
"Though I think it’s not as potent as ginseng," Gong Jiaxin had tried a few ginseng slices, however few.
Hahaha, can ginseng compare to ginseng? "Though both are ginseng, there’s a difference; one is wild, right?"
"Farmed, high yield. By the way, do you think this business can be done?" Gong Jiaxin wouldn’t discuss the efficacy of the ginseng.
These considerations were for professionals; she just wanted to know if the business was feasible.
Of course, it can be done; why not? Even if the business declines later, as long as it opens up and makes money for a dozen years in China, Gong Ruini would be satisfied.
Dai Liren listened to their conversation on the side, at first finding it uninteresting and wanting to wander around.
But realizing it was his first time here, he thought it best to know some rules and help with the luggage, he didn’t wander off, and now he was glad he hadn’t left, as he’d otherwise miss such a good opportunity.
He’d heard from his good buddies that Gong Ruini and her group were particularly industrious, frequently brainstorming money-making ideas.
Dai Liren knew that ever since Chu Ling met Gong Ruini’s group, she had several businesses in hand, but he couldn’t believe it was these kids who created those enterprises.
He thought these ideas came from adults, who put them on Gong Ruini’s group to make them famous.
But now he got it; there was no need for adults to intervene, as they would actively come up with ideas.
"It’s doable; I think we should put this on the agenda soon and strive to finalize it before the year’s end, to get the product into China." Since we’re doing it, let’s quickly enter the market.
Gong Ruini didn’t know when the big ginseng players entered China, but judging by the fact that there was no ginseng domestically, it seemed that no one had eyed this market yet.
Since nobody’s watching, let’s speed up. "By the end of the year, we can do more advertising to let people know about ginseng, and they can give it as gifts."
The Spring Festival is the peak season for gift-giving; ginseng is the best gift for elders or bosses.
Many people think foreign stuff is superior, so let them experience foreign products better.
Wow, look, they just encountered the idea and are already planning how to promote it.
Had I not been listening the whole time, I wouldn’t believe it, thinking about it, "Can I join?"
Haha, he wants to join? Gong Jiaxin glared at Dai Liren in displeasure. Even though his grandfather was Dai Xiangguo, so what? Could he snatch their shares?
Humph, thought overseas there was no Chu Ling, no need to consider her share, didn’t expect someone else would steal the market.
Gong Ruini was also startled, not worried he’d snatch their money but surprised, "You, you, you don’t seem like someone who’d want that kind of money."
What kind of person is he, do they know? "Although I’m on government scholarship abroad, I have to earn my living expenses."
"Even if I can get a scholarship, be a teaching assistant, it doesn’t mean I don’t want to make big money." Dai Liren wasn’t money-shy, as long as it was decent money, he wanted to earn it.
"Don’t you want to include me?" Gong Ruini had no issue; it was the girl on the side who seemed unwilling, acting like he’d steal her money.
Even if this thought occurred, Gong Jiaxin couldn’t foolishly admit it; thinking him not petty doesn’t mean they know his nature.
What if he does turn out petty? "Who dares, who dares."
Dai Liren found Gong Jiaxin amusing, witnessing her unwilling yet forced denial.
"But you have to invest." Gong Ruini was open to collaborating with second and third generations, but insisted, no money, no partnership.
Starting a business yet reluctant to invest isn’t how it works. When the business thrives, he might snatch it away, so she needed precautions.
Investment is necessary, "Rest assured, though I don’t have much money, I’ll contribute what I should," Dai Liren guaranteed.
"Great." With such assurance, Gong Ruini had no objections.
