Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

"Of course. We have to make our own company look respectable." Zhou Qi was happy to see him so proud, and asked with a smile, "Boss Ma, have you got the business license?"

"There's no reason why I can't do it if I help. Come and take a look!" Ma Yuan took out a folder and handed it to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi took it and looked at it. The business license read: "Pinliang Shop Trading Co., Ltd., legal representative: Ma Yuancai."

"Mr. Zhou, everything has been settled. Let's go through the follow-up procedures. Also, when will our opening ceremony be held? We need to set a date. You have to notify me in advance. I also have to prepare for the ribbon-cutting!" Ma Yuancai said in succession.

"The sign is already being made and we can open it as soon as it's hung up," Zhou Qi responded.

"Well, not bad!" Ma Yuancai nodded in style, "By the way, what products does our company plan to sell? We must have stock to open the business!"

This time, Cao Qinquan didn't wait for Zhou Qi to speak. He pointed to the warehouse and said helplessly: "What's in there!"

Ma Yuancai looked in that direction.

What's going on? Confused, he took a step and stepped into the warehouse door.

Then, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded. The warehouse was full of apples, it was simply a mountain of fruit.

"Oh my God, Zhou Qi, you're making such a big fuss just to sell apples? Are we opening a company or a fruit stall?" Ma Yuan was completely confused. This didn't match the script he had expected at all. It didn't feel high-end or classy at all.

"Have you ever seen a fruit stall stocked with so many apples?" Zhou Qi asked back.

"So you want to do wholesale? Even if you do wholesale, how much money can you make? You'll have to pay for the rent of such a big place. I see through it. You want to shut down the stall and don't want me to be the 'boss' at all." Ma Yuancai was filled with indignation.

Zhou Qi looked at him like this and was not surprised at all. Many people look down upon some things and think they are useless, but they don't know how many people have made their fortunes by doing these seemingly insignificant businesses.

Zhou Qi put his hand on Ma Yuancai's shoulder and said, "As the legal representative of the company, you naturally don't care about trivial matters like salary. It's not worthy of your status. So, how about giving you some dividends?"

Zhou Qi had indeed helped Ma Yuancai make money before, otherwise he would not have helped him get a business license. Now, he was no longer as skeptical of Zhou Qi's words as he was at the beginning.

"What's the way to make money? Tell me about it."

To put it bluntly, dividends are money. Who wouldn’t be interested?

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. The steel plant has always had good welfare benefits and gifts were given out in previous years. Have you heard of any welfare arrangements this year?" Zhou Qi asked.

"I don't work at the steel mill, and they don't pay me, so why should I care?" Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Apple Mountain and suddenly came to his senses. He quickly slipped away from Zhou Qi's arms, looked at Zhou Qi warily, and asked, "Are you planning to hit on me again?"

"Oh, I'm targeting you. What a rude thing to say." Zhou Qi pointed at the apple mountain and said, "Look carefully, such good apples, are you afraid that you can't sell them? If I say I'll give you a bonus, then I really will."

"What do you mean?" Ma Yuancai asked.

"Come, come." Zhou Qi pulled him closer to the apple mountain, picked up an apple and threw it to him, "This apple is not ordinary, try it first."

Ma Yuancai was not as particular as Cao Qinquan. He just focused on the business and the food and took a big bite.

"Wow, so sweet, big and juicy. They must be expensive." Ma Yuancai commented.

"Boss Ma has good vision!" Zhou Qi praised, "First, let's talk about this apple. What price can it be sold for in the market?"

"These apples look special. They are better than those ordinary-looking ones that cost 70 cents a pound. Is it not too much to price them at one dollar?" Ma Yuancai said.

"Boss Ma, you have a broader vision than me. Our apple market is priced at 90 cents per pound." Zhou Qi patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Talk to your father. No matter how much he sets the price for the factory, I will charge 50 cents per pound at cost. It's such a big factory with hundreds of people. Each person should get at least 20 pounds."

Ma Yuancai's brain was quick, and he understood it immediately. Wumao took apples from the company and sold them at the market price of 70mao at the factory. The apples were of good quality, and although the price was the same, it felt like a bargain, so the factory was more likely to accept it.

Each person carries 20 jin, that's 16,000 jin, and I earn 20 cents per jin, a total of 3,200! 3,200! After working so hard for so many days to collect cotton cloth, I only earn 7,000 or 8,000. With this, I can easily get half of it without any effort.

No wonder Zhou Qi said this was a bonus. How could this profit not be tempting? Including the money he made from collecting cotton cloth, he had made at least 20,000 yuan during this period.

His father, the factory manager, only makes 6,000 yuan a year, but he makes as much in one month as his father does in two years. Now he can talk to his father in a more confident way, his wallet is full, and he doesn't even need to ask for money when he likes a motorcycle.

Zhou Qi didn't need to persuade him, he was sure to make the money. He picked up a bag and put a few apples in it, saying, "I'll take care of this job, but I've made a deal, 50 cents a pound, no higher."

"Mr. Ma, you are the legal representative, but you don't even believe in your own company?" Zhou Qi asked with a smile.

Oh, right! I forgot about that. Ma Yuan was so impatient that he wanted to take the apple back to the factory immediately. He said, "I have to go now. I'll do it right away. Don't be late for the Mid-Autumn Festival benefits."

Zhou Qi looked at Ma Yuancai's impetuous back and knew what was going on. As the saying goes, "The principal is just a figurehead, while the deputy is in charge of the affairs." His father is really good at this. This thing will definitely work.

Zhou Qi suddenly thought of another guy.

Just at this moment, Zhang Gong was pacing over and asked in confusion, "What is Yuancai doing in such a hurry? Is there a fire at home?"

"The fire hasn't started yet, but if you want to make money, you have to be quick..." Zhou Qi responded.

When Zhang Gongzheng heard the words "earn money", his eyes lit up immediately: "What's the way? Have you found another opportunity to make money?"

Zhou Qi had expected him to ask this.

He smiled and put his arm around Zhang Gongzheng's shoulder, saying, "Gongzheng, you seem to be very tired lately, so the company will give you some dividends..."

……

Less than five minutes passed.

Zhang Gongzheng also rushed out of the factory holding an apple, as if his situation was urgent.

Although his father is not the factory director, his words still carry weight, and such good things will naturally lead to some benefits.

"See, what I said before? What you should worry about is not whether you can sell the goods, but whether there are enough goods to sell." Zhou Qi smiled and patted Cao Qinquan on the shoulder, and continued, "You have been busy for a long time, and the company will give you some sweet things."

Before Zhou Qi finished speaking, Cao Qinquan seemed a little nervous: "Brother Qi, I'm not like Yuancai and Gongzheng. I have no chance of getting dividends."

Zhou Qi was delighted when he heard this: "I'm talking about welfare, not dividends. So, the company will give each person four pounds of apples, so that you can take them home for your family to taste. The villagers were quite supportive of us collecting cotton and weaving cloth before, so you can find a car to take it back and give each family two pounds as a token of my appreciation."
