Shizhou Village, which was Xia Qi's hometown, had undergone earth-shattering changes in the past two months.
On the surface, Stone Boat Village did not seem to have changed much from two to three months ago.
The road was still the same road, and the tree was still the same tree.
However, one could see the difference with a closer look.
In the past, when were there no people in the fields and vegetable fields by the roadside?
In this era's countryside, it was not an exaggeration to say that land was life.
In order to cultivate the land, if you dug a little more of the ridge between the two families, they would still fight. Moreover, it was a common thing.
However, there were almost no people in the fields of Stone Boat Village. There were only elderly people with children.
When they walked into the village, there were almost no young adults to be seen.
Occasionally, he would see them on bicycles or tricycles.
Of course, when they saw that it was Xia Jianhua who brought Xia Qi back, they would stop the car immediately and call him Mr. Xia with a smile. Even the older ones did the same.
It seemed that the title of Second Brother Xia had disappeared from the village in the past two months.
Of course, except for the Xia family's own home.
In their own home, Grandma and Grandpa would still often call him Second Brother.
.....
"Brother, are you sure you want to quit?
Why?
Although the market was the most profitable during the opening period, it was still quite a lot now!
You can earn at least 10,000 yuan a month in these nine cities.”
Riding the tricycle, the young uncle turned around in shock.
After Xia Jianhua and Xia Qi had made their decision yesterday, his father had made a call to his family from Wanqiu before they went home.
Yes, the Xia family now had a phone. It was installed a month ago.
The initial installation fee was 6,000 yuan.
His uncle, father, and little uncle put it together.
At that time, Grandma's heart ached so much that she couldn't eat well while looking at the phone for a few days.
However, every time the phone rang, Grandma would always run over to pick it up.
When Xia Jianhua called him yesterday, he found that his uncle was collecting fish and prawns at home, so he told him not to leave yet and to wait for him to come back today.
He was here to pick up Xia Jianhua and his son today.
However, on the way back, when he asked Xia Jianhua why he didn't want to leave yet, he couldn't stay calm anymore.
Xia Jianhua's voice was the best in the village. After all, Xia Jianhua was the pioneer of this road to wealth.
Sitting at the back of the tricycle, Xia Jianhua supported Xia Qi who was sitting at the side and said with a smile,""Hehe, it's nothing. I just want to go to the big city to take a look. Now that the fish and shrimp market is almost done, I don't want to stay in this business forever. I want to go out and see the bigger world!”
Little uncle instantly fell silent.
The speed of the bike also slowed down.
"Brother, you…Forget it, I don't understand you. Ever since the day you said you resigned, I couldn't understand you.”
Uncle smiled bitterly.
After saying that, he stopped the tricycle.
He took out a cigarette and lit one for himself. Then, he gave another to Xia Jianhua."Then where do you plan to go?
Have you thought of what to do?"
Xia Jianhua took the cigarette, lit it, and said,""I want to go to Shanghai. I want to go to the big city to take a look.
I haven't decided what to do yet, but I want to open a shop.”
Of course, Xia Jianhua would not drive a taxi like Xia Qi in his previous life after the fish and shrimp business ended.
In fact, if he were to say that he was going to drive a taxi, his family members would suspect that Xia Jianhua had lost his mind.
He gave up on the business that could earn ten thousand yuan a month and went to work as a taxi driver that could only earn a few thousand yuan a month.
Yes, being a taxi driver was definitely the hottest job at the moment. But why was he popular? Wasn't it because of his income? Was his income comparable to Xia Jianhua's?
Therefore, this reason could not be used.
"Open a shop?" The young uncle looked at Xia Jianhua and repeated the word.
Xia Jianhua nodded. The fish and shrimp business is not a long-term business. Perhaps you think that the market we opened up can be maintained.
However, what I see is that the competition will become more and more intense. Didn't Big Brother say last month that someone started to snatch business from his territory?
In fact, I have also appeared here this month, in Luzhou.
Now, the market price of fish and prawns in Luzhou was only 5.8 yuan per catty.
But even so, they still gave up 30% of the market.”
"These bastards!" Little uncle cursed hatefully.
However, he could only curse.
This was because there was no other way.
Moreover, they were now clear that as time passed, the fish and shrimp business would become more and more difficult to do in the future. The market that they had already opened up would also be snatched away by others.
This was an unavoidable problem.
This was because this business itself did not have any technical content. As long as someone paid attention to it and targeted it, it would be a price war. Then, they would negotiate. Once they negotiated, they would basically have to give up some territory. Otherwise, it would be a life-and-death struggle, and both sides would not be able to gain anything.
Xia Jianhua looked at his brother-in-law, who was twitching his eyes, and said with a smile,""Alright, it's all within expectations. Let's not talk about this. Now, let's talk about my market. I'm prepared to give it to you and Big Brother.”
"Good!"
Little uncle agreed immediately.
Since Xia Jianhua had decided to go to Shanghai to find another way out, how could his current business end up in the hands of outsiders?
Naturally, he wanted it.
Even his uncle would not refuse, because this was a good thing in itself.
Xia Jianhua's market wasn't small. Even though 30% of Luzhou City was occupied, it didn't matter. The profits were still much higher than his uncle's.
Now that the two of them had a share, the money they earned every month could increase by a large margin.
Of course, they would not take it away directly.
That night, Xia Jianhua told her that his uncle was not home, but his aunt was.
Under the leadership of his grandfather, his uncle, who was represented by his youngest uncle and eldest aunt, took over nine markets of Xia Jianhua.
The price was that Xia Jianhua would have to take out 30% of the profits from the nine markets every month.
Xia Jianhua thought that it was a bit too much to take three floors after he had given up. However, it was actually his uncle's idea. His grandpa agreed, and so did his aunt.
He did not say anything else.
After all, they were still a family. A little more or less would not affect them much. At most, when their fish and shrimp business could not continue, they would ask their son to point them to a new path.
Of course, he was the one who asked his son to lead the way.
Xia Qi should just be an obedient three-year-old kid now!
