Free Web NovelChapter 1205: Chapter 1207
Gong Ruini and the others went out with a mission; of course, they needed to carefully observe the layout of the mall here.
And then they happened to eat out before returning. For them, it was truly a moment of relaxation.
Meanwhile, Gong Ruzhi was anxiously walking around in circles at home, constantly hoping for Gong Ruini and the others to return.
"Why aren’t they back yet?"
"Didn’t they just go shopping at the mall? How come they went again?"
Gong Ruzhi really didn’t understand the appeal of mall shopping, especially since there were malls back home.
Alas, he could only say that Brother Xu Ran was spoiling his sister too much.
But right now, there are serious matters to attend to—how can they go out?
"Ah, Sister, you’re finally back." Just as Gong Ruzhi was getting increasingly impatient, he finally saw Gong Ruini.
His enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming; actually waiting at the door for her and covered in sweat was a sign he’d been waiting outside for a long time.
What’s the deal? She didn’t seem to be that popular with young guys.
"I heard Auntie has a new project."
"Does it need investment?" Auntie’s factory has been profitable, and Gong Ruzhi was envious. He hadn’t had the chance before, but now that he had, how could he miss it?
Wan Qiweng has a new investment project, how come he didn’t know? Zhao Xuran suspiciously looked at Gong Ruini.
How did he find out? Though Gong Ruini knew this bit of information wouldn’t stay hidden for long, she hoped to keep it under wraps as long as possible.
Unexpectedly, it leaked out so early, and as for how he found out, it’s obvious without even asking—apart from Cai Meina, there’s no one else.
Sigh, her mom’s mouth was a bit too quick, yet she couldn’t blame her for it; otherwise, she’d cry and claim she was wronged.
The problem is, there’s no new investor at all, "Did Mom tell you this business would be run by the original shareholders?"
"The reason for the separation is the concern about potential losses." Of course, if it grows bigger in the future, it’s easier to manage separately.
Ah, losses? No way, growing up she’d always understood business as making money, she’d never encountered the concept of business loss.
"How could there be no losses?" No way, this naive boy hadn’t realized that, but it won’t do, he needs to understand this reality.
Otherwise, if he hears about a business in the future, he’ll blindly rush in—how can that work?
Gong Ruini couldn’t help but worry; this understanding that business always makes money wasn’t unique to Gong Ruzhi.
"You see Brother Guangran even loses money trading stocks, how could there be no losses in business?"
Trading stocks results in losses, but that’s not business, it’s investment.
"Isn’t doing business a form of investment? Especially now knowing Auntie has a new business, if you think it’s a good deal but can’t do it yourself, of course, you’d give money to Auntie and receive your rightful shares."
"This is the same concept as buying stocks on the market, except the stocks you get from Auntie can’t be traded on the stock market."
"If Auntie’s business thrives and makes money, you could receive dividends; if it loses, not only would you get no dividends, you might have to continue investing."
Ah, even after losing money I still have to invest? He felt so pitiful; he just had that little bit of money, where could more come from, "Isn’t the most I get is losing the invested money?"
"Correct, that’s the idea; if everyone refuses to invest, the factory would have to close, and there’ll be no way to recover the investment."
"I need to think about it." Gong Ruzhi felt immense pressure hearing Gong Ruini’s analysis, he needed to carefully consider, as it wasn’t a small amount.
"By the way, Sis, what kind of business is it?" Gong Ruzhi started heading back home quickly, needing to calm down before making a decision.
Suddenly, he realized the most crucial detail was unknown; how could he contemplate further?
Poof, Zhao Xuran was truly amused by Gong Ruzhi, claiming to invest money without even inquiring about the type of business?
This guy just focused on investing and waiting for dividends; his thought process was quite novel.
Zhao Xuran genuinely worried that if Gong Ruzhi discussed business or cooperation with others in the future, he’d end up completely duped.
Really, is he that foolish? He was just facing his family, "I know now, I’ll ask in the future."
Can’t say like that, otherwise, his sister’s sharp tongue would definitely make him suffer.
In the future, this guy might make countless silly mistakes, and with that, Gong Ruini didn’t want to nag him further; sometimes people only learn thoroughly through experience.
"It’s the diaper business." Gong Ruini straightforwardly revealed the new venture.
Ah, what are diapers? Gong Ruzhi didn’t understand, nor did Zhao Xuran.
"They’re like diapers, only more advanced; if you don’t understand, go to the mall and check them out." Gong Ruini wasn’t sure how to explain it, perhaps saying they’re similar to menstrual tools might work?
It’s not yet the time to hire male celebrities for menstrual-gear endorsements.
Going to the mall seems like a waste of time; from her statement, it seems she bought them for Wan Yihong. Since there’s some at home, there’s no need to fuss.
Zhao Xuran purchased with Gong Ruini, though didn’t see the product, he recalled, "Is it the kind that wraps around a baby’s bottom?"
"That’s the one."
About this product, Zhao Xuran never used it, but really wasn’t optimistic, "Expensive, not to mention you can’t reuse it multiple times."
"The most crucial is that it’s not breathable, probably few parents would opt for it."
Previously wondering if they didn’t want new investors, thus saying these things, but now he understood; the business might genuinely flop.
His heart sank; Gong Ruzhi didn’t understand why his sister invested in a venture she knew would lose money.
What to do? He should notify his sister, then hope Auntie would reconsider, it’s not like they aren’t profitable, no need for this losing venture.
"But if newborns’ parents use it at night to ensure a good sleep till morning, do you think diapers can compare?"
"Especially in winter when it prevents kids from soaking constantly, what do you think?"
"Most importantly, washing isn’t needed, in winter with icy water, how many people would wash diapers?"
Zhao Xuran noticed, clearly Ni Zi was fully supporting this product; her initial procurement was likely because she tasted that Wan Qiweng was entering the field.
How could his wife be this calculating? Zhao Xuran admired his wife deeply.
"If investment is needed down the line, look for me."
The shortcomings are glaring, but the advantages are rather significant; perhaps people will indeed opt for this diaper brand.
