Chapter 641: Chapter 641 is a piece for doing business

The next day, Luo Qiao visited Huo Yuhao’s current office for the first time. She had not expected that Huo Yuhao had already grown the business so much, now boasting five Green Affinity branches.

And next to each Green Affinity, there was a grain and oil store and a daily necessities store. He had roughly seventy to eighty people on staff, and just for deliveries alone, there were more than a dozen vehicles. Because now, it wasn’t only about delivering vegetables to the stores, but many high-end restaurants in Ji City also used their vegetables and grains.

When Huo Yuhao saw Luo Qiao arrive, he had the accountant bring over the ledger and asked, "Sister Luo, when are you going back to Capital City?"

Luo Qiao didn’t rush to look through the ledger, "I’ll return in a few days. I’m counting on you for this side of things. Don’t neglect your night school studies. Whatever you do in the future, make sure it’s stable and don’t spread yourself too thin. And about the people you hire, character is even more important than their abilities."

Huo Yuhao was a capable person, a year younger than Luo Qiao, yet he was running the business incredibly well, taking good care of his grandmother, mother, and sister. Over the years, his uncle had not missed a chance to take advantage, but Huo Yuhao was a tough man.

After laying down the law a few times, the opportunistic uncle and aunt no longer dared to show up at his door. Huo Yuhao had issued a fierce warning: if they bothered him again, he would demand they return everything they had taken over the years.

Huo Yuhao said, "Now it’s basically stable. I have an idea and wanted to discuss it with you."

Luo Qiao said, "Go ahead."

Huo Yuhao continued, "Sister Luo, what do you think about the prospects of the home appliance industry?"

Luo Qiao responded to Huo Yuhao’s question, "Did you catch wind of something?"

Huo Yuhao said, "A friend told me a while back that Changjiang Road is due for redevelopment and refurbishment. Remember my recent trip south? I felt the changes there were really significant, and I think Ji City will also rapidly develop. I’m very optimistic about the home appliance industry.

So considering Green Affinity is already stable and we have a sizable profit in our accounts, I was thinking, if there’s an opportunity to rent or buy on that side, we could take a store and start a home appliance sales center."

Luo Qiao nodded, "This is a good idea. People’s lives are improving, and home appliances will soon be in every household. This business has potential."

Encouraged by the support, Huo Yuhao said, "Alright, since you agree, I’ll start working on it as soon as there’s news. But we might not be able to disburse dividends at the end of the year; all the money will have to be reinvested."

Luo Qiao replied, "I’m not in urgent need of money, but if you’re planning to open a store, you should start preparing in advance. You’ll need to visit the manufacturers down south beforehand. Ideally, get the provincial distributorship so you can engage in both wholesale and retail."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao stood up excitedly, "Why didn’t I think of that? You’re right, Sister Luo."

Then he added, "But this way, just the cost of the goods would be substantial, and we might not have enough in our account."

Luo Qiao advised, "We can’t aim to be the provincial distributor for all brands. Pick a few with good reputations. You can negotiate with the manufacturers for delivery before payment. If you can’t get a forty-five-day credit term, at least aim for a month. That would reduce the pressure."

After hearing Luo Qiao’s suggestions, Huo Yuhao was rubbing his hands together in excitement, saying, "I’ll take another trip down south in a few days and really scope out the market."

Luo Qiao knew Huo Yuhao was prudent in his work and had nothing to worry about. She remarked, "This home appliance project was your idea. When it takes off, we need to have a separate set of books for it. We’ll need to reallocate the shares. After all, I’m just investing, not participating in management. You’ll be running everything."

Huo Yuhao said, "Sister Luo, that’s really unnecessary. If it weren’t for your initial support, I’d still be a small stall owner in the vegetable market. Even though I suggested this first, you know much more than I do. Even if I handle the specifics, it’s always with your guidance."

Luo Qiao responded, "We’ll talk about this once you get things going. Remember, make sure you do thorough research to be well-informed."

Luo Qiao reached out, picked up the ledger, and flipped through it. She was impressed by Huo Yuhao’s business acumen; in such a short amount of time, the profits were truly substantial.
