Chapter 759: Ready For Business (2)

Gu Fangting was rather surprised. She suddenly felt less stressed!

Gu Fangting trusted her older cousin implicitly. She felt that Gu Qingyao was much more capable. If Gu Qingyao had not told her and her mother that they must study to prepare for the future, she would not have continued her studies and would never have gone to university.

So she held Gu Qingyaos hand and poured out her woes.

Older Cousin, right now Im only running a small restaurant, but business is quite good. I want to expand, but its the middle of winter, so its hard to get ingredients. Even though there are many small food stalls in the alleys, they are mostly run by farmers selling the small amounts that their families cannot finish. There is too little variety, especially in winter. What should I do?

And theres even less meat!

Gu Fangting said worriedly.

Gu Qingyao could solve this problem.

How large a business are you thinking of? Can you estimate the number of ingredients you need every day?

Gu Fangting said, Im not planning to run a big business, just a small restaurant, with a floor area of about a hundred square meters. I wont need much food every day, maybe about a hundred kilograms! Variety is more crucial. My restaurant cant just be selling cabbages and carrots every day!

It was winter now, and it was true that there were too few ingredients. Even though there were now roadside stalls, they were mostly selling things like carrots and cabbages.

Gu Qingyao smiled. Ill help you solve your ingredient problem. Let me go and look up some contacts. Ill let you know the location in two days when everything is confirmed. After that, you can ask someone to buy the ingredients at regular intervals. They have all kinds of ingredients, so I guarantee you will have a wide variety to choose from.

Gu Fangting was stunned. Really? Do they have meat?

Yes! All kinds of meat. They definitely will have more of the common meats like pork. They have plenty of beef, chicken, duck, fish, prawns and mutton. Yours is a small restaurant, so you will certainly have ample choice.

Gu Fangtings eyes shone. Really? My G.o.d, Older Cousin, how do you know such capable people? How did he get hold of such things?

Gu Qingyao laughed. In todays circ.u.mstances, it is troublesome to obtain these things but not impossible. You just go about your business. Ill let you know the actual location in two days.

Great! Thank you, Older Cousin!

Jiang Xun immediately said, Older Sister Gu, dont forget me. I need ingredients too!

Gu Qingyao raised her brows. Arent you in business with Ting Ting?

Gu Fangting laughed. No, although we help each other, our shops are separate. He has his, and I have mine. But theyre about the same size. Were just feeling our way around right now.

Gu Qingyao smiled. Not bad, both of you have your own careers and are helping each other to progress. Thats very good.

She said to Jiang Xun, Ill include a share for you. When I confirm the location, I will let you know. I guarantee you will have enough ingredients.

Jiang Xun smiled rather foolishly. Thank you, Older Sister Gu!

Gu Qingyao did not walk with them for too long since she was just out here to take a look. The two of them continued to examine storefronts. They had identified one but wanted to make some comparisons.

Gu Qingyao watched their departing figures. She felt that the time was right.

She had plenty of ingredients in her inters.p.a.ce!

She had been busy these six years overseas. Besides dabbling in many businesses, she had added many resources to her inters.p.a.ce.

She knew that she would run many businesses after she returned to China, so she had begun preparing long ago. Every time she did business overseas, she would use her old methods to purchase resources whenever it was convenient. She looked for large farms that were doing poorly and bought ingredients in bulk from them.
