Chapter 244: Two hundred and forty-four he is helping himself_1

"How much are you planning to sell it for?" Ji Guangsheng asked with interest.

"Well, it’s just hit the market, and the price we’ve initially set is one hundred and fifty yuan per box. I’ve heard that the sales are fairly good so far, but we really won’t know the actual results until after a month."

Upon hearing this, Ji Guangsheng frowned and had already thought of another sales method.

That was their own high-end health product store.

The Ji Family used to be very prominent in Sichuan Province, with luxury health clubs and large pharmacies, and they owned quite a few of them.

Especially, the health clubs had become a must-visit place for the wealthy in Sichuan Province.

People didn’t just go there for health purposes, many actually went there to conduct business.

Such packaging, if placed in our own health clubs, wouldn’t need any advertising; it would be the best advertisement itself.

Definitely, many people would be vying to purchase it.

Moreover, Sichuan Province is a large province with a large population and even more wealthy people.

Plus, Haicheng’s goji berries are considered to be a specialty; different regions, different effects, and with proper promotion, we could anticipate good sales volumes.

"Have you considered trying to distribute it in Sichuan Province?" Ji Guangsheng said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s eyebrows twitched. To tell the truth, Sichuan Province was a much larger place than Haicheng.

Just the population flow alone was ten times greater.

If he could get into that market, there would definitely be more buyers.

But he had nothing at all in Sichuan Province and breaking into the market there wouldn’t be easy.

Even securing a space in shopping malls would be a challenge.

He frowned and said, "To be honest, I would like to, but the conditions don’t allow it."

At that, Ji Guangsheng laughed heartily, "You just focus on production, and leave these matters to Uncle Guang to handle."

Gu Chen was, after all, his son-in-law. He had the channels, and Gu Chen had quality products.

With a strong partnership, what’s there to worry about sales?

Wu Shuhui passed the chopsticks to Ji Guangsheng’s hand and smiled at him, "Alright, your health just improved a couple of days ago and you’re already thinking about business."

Some people are indeed different from others; it seems like some come into this world just to make money.

Like Ji Guangsheng, who took over the Ji Family’s business at the age of twenty, had doubled its assets by twenty-five.

It seemed like he was always thinking about making money from the moment he opened his eyes to when he closed them.

Right now, Ji Guangsheng was in a very good mood; he handed chopsticks to Gu Chen, "Come on, eat and we can talk while eating."

Seeing this, Uncle Guang passed another pair of new chopsticks to Ji Guangsheng.

He inwardly sighed at Mr. Ji’s partiality towards Gu Chen.

Having been with the Ji Family for so many years, he had only seen Mr. Ji offer chopsticks to the young miss and the young master, never to an outsider—this was the first time.

Gu Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and picked up the chopsticks. The father and son-in-law started chatting while eating.

"Dad, I’m actually quite happy that you’re willing to help me, but to be honest, I still want to do it on my own," Gu Chen said sincerely.

To be honest, having been reborn, he truly wanted to rely on his own abilities to climb up step by step—he also wanted to see how far his own capabilities could take him.

Upon hearing this, Ji Guangsheng smiled, "What, are you over fifty years old now?"

After finishing his sentence, he put a mouthful of lettuce into his mouth.

This son-in-law of his had just been indirectly joking about him being a kid, and now it seemed, he was the real kid, not taking advantage of such convenient resources.

In business, profit is the main thing; even though he was Gu Chen’s father-in-law, wasn’t Gu Chen’s success equivalent to his daughter’s happiness?

If his daughter was happy, then he was happy too.

They were family, why be so courteous?

Besides, he had a bit of a selfish motive too.

Gu Chen did not heed Ji Guangsheng’s words and looked blankly towards him.

"Bai Guang should have told you why we’ve come to Haicheng," said Ji Guangsheng as he spoke, "The Ji Family isn’t what it used to be. Coming here is partly to keep a low profile and recuperate, and partly because Haicheng has excellent medicinal materials. Being here to personally oversee procurement ensures we get the best resources, which is how we can produce even better medicines."

Ji Guangsheng slowly began to speak as he ate.

He still trusted Gu Chen very much, and in his heart, he already considered him a member of the family.

So, he was very straightforward in what he said.

"Your goji berry products look great, both in terms of packaging and quality. If they are sent back to Chuan City, they’re sure to sell well. That way, you’ll make money too, and the Ji Family’s reputation will climb another rung. Don’t you think this is a win-win situation?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen understood.

The idea from his father-in-law was indeed a good one. If mutual benefits could be gained, leveraging the Ji Family’s channels to promote his products was indeed a good thing.

"Dad, how about this, I’ll give you an additional five percent from the sales?"

A box is seven yuan and fifty cents, so selling ten thousand boxes would amount to seventy-five thousand yuan.

The profit could not be described as anything but optimistic.

Hearing this, Ji Guangsheng’s eyes gleamed.

Truthfully, he was simply lending a hand out of goodwill, and earning a good reputation for himself was an afterthought, but he didn’t expect the young man to offer him a rebate.

This was all money being offered.

His willingness to share his profits showed a remarkable generosity.

"All right then, your intention is good enough for me. Let’s consider this five percent my contribution to the grandchildren’s kindergarten fees," said Ji Guangsheng, his eyes brimming with a smile.

He was indeed an experienced businessman, who, in everyone’s eyes, put money first. But he himself knew that what he truly valued was not money, but genuine sincerity.

Gu Chen, half-joking, said, "Dad, if you don’t agree, then I might have to take this business elsewhere."

He understood the Ji Family’s current situation. Although the proverb goes ’a lean camel is bigger than a horse,’ earning more was naturally better.

Ji Guangsheng had staked all his assets when moving to Haicheng, something Uncle Guang had told him.

So, Gu Chen too hoped for the Ji Family’s turnaround. Although he couldn’t make the Ji Family rich overnight, as long as he was alive, he was determined to help them reclaim everything that belonged to the Ji Family.

Especially Xu Qingmu.

Ji Guangsheng hated him, Ji Pianran disliked him, and Gu Chen, compared to them, harbored an even deeper resentment.

Because that scoundrel had caused his wife such suffering for months, had the audacity to target her parents, and had led to the Ji Family’s current state.

Gu Chen vowed to see the Xu Family bankrupt, or his name wasn’t worth the paper it was written on.

But a gentleman’s revenge is not too late, even after ten years.

He was determined to show Xu Qingmu that the Ji Family was not to be trifled with, and that he, Gu Chen, was even less so!

Ji Guangsheng hadn’t expected the young man to be so persistent. After eating a mouthful of rice and hesitating for a while, he finally said, "All right then."

As a father-in-law, he hadn’t been able to offer his son-in-law much, but it was he who had benefited from the relationship, which honestly made him feel a bit embarrassed.

Seeing Ji Guangsheng agree, Gu Chen laughed heartily, feeling exceptionally good.

He picked up a piece of pinellia from the small bowl of bok choy with his chopsticks and placed it in Ji Guangsheng’s bowl, "Dad, this is good for your health!"

Ji Guangsheng also smiled, touched, his heart and eyes filled with emotion. During the days when his daughter had been lost, the Ji Family had fallen on hard times, and he had been holding on by sheer willpower.

Although the business was handed over to Ji Chu, he still worried, knowing that his son was not really cut out for business.

But now, Gu Chen hadn’t taken over his family business; he just chatted with Ji Guangsheng from time to time, discussed business, and offered suggestions. Suddenly, Ji Guangsheng felt like he could breathe more easily.

It was indeed a marvelous thing.

For a moment, he wished Gu Chen were his own son.

In fact, he wished he had a child just like Gu Chen.
