Chapter 1091: Chapter 1093: Recommendation

Gong Zhuang had just returned not long ago when he received a call from his second brother.

The call consisted of just one sentence: "Get to Beijing quickly."

This scared Gong Zhuang half to death; he was just about to ask if something bad had happened.

"If you don’t come, don’t regret it later." Gong Tao didn’t dare to say much on the phone.

Important matters should be discussed in person to avoid any leaks.

Although when they officially start operating, people will follow them, but those will just be tagging along, and this time they must seize the opportunity.

Gong Zhuang was puzzled by Gong Tao’s call but dared not ignore it. Otherwise, he would definitely regret it.

Could it be that his second brother has a new money-making plan? Yes, it must be this.

As long as there’s money to be made, Gong Zhuang’s speed is unparalleled.

If he can’t buy a sleeper ticket, he’ll drive. Anyway, his son knows how to drive, so the father and son took turns driving and managed to get to Beijing in just about twenty hours.

Gong Tao looked at the fatigued Gong Zhuang and was equally shocked, "How did you guys..."

"Second Brother, what’s the good news?" Gong Zhuang knew he looked a mess but that wasn’t a problem; the important thing was making money.

Gong Tao didn’t dare discuss it with Gong Zhuang yet, "Quickly go take a bath, then get some rest."

If something happens due to excitement, how will they handle that? Gong Tao was truly worried.

Gong Zhuang waved his hand, "I’m fine, brother, don’t forget how we traveled overnight to Yangcheng and then came back after buying the goods."

It was even more exhausting back then, "As long as there’s money to be made, it’s worth it."

"You were much younger back then, look at you now, and how long has it been since you endured hardship?" At least back then, Gong Zhuang didn’t have a beer belly.

Gong Tao couldn’t stop staring at Gong Zhuang’s belly, which annoyed the latter.

"Brother, I know I’ve gained weight, stop staring at me." Looking at the partners around him, Gong Zhuang felt good.

But every time he sees Gong Tao and the others, he feels uneasy. Even though they have more money and more social engagements, why is it that none of them have a belly like his? The gap is a bit large.

"Alright, go rest, then we’ll discuss it together tonight."

"By the way, how is the Miao Family?" Gong Tao grabbed Gong Zhuang.

Their families are either relatives living overseas, or they don’t interact much, or the relatives are all shady, how could they invite them along?

What’s the deal with the Miao Family? At first, Gong Zhuang didn’t react, but then he was excited.

"Brother, you’re saying that this business requires manpower and the Miao Family is needed?"

Gong Tao nodded, "But we need to discuss specifics first, then you should ask the Miao Family since we want to earn the major share."

If the Miao Family thinks the profit is low or they are contributing too much effort for little return, then there’s no need to cooperate.

It’s better to remain relatives even if there’s no partnership, rather than end up severing ties.

"Don’t worry, they won’t." Gong Zhuang was confident of this.

"They aren’t stupid, they know who to follow to get the benefits."

"Brother, not everyone is like Gong Qiang and the others."

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked them to manage our hometown industries." Gong Zhuang was willing to vouch for them.

Gong Tao was just listening; guarantees from anyone don’t matter much; the future is what counts.

Gong Zhuang knew Gong Tao might not believe him, but reality would prove it, "Then I’ll go rest, brother."

Then talked to his wife, "Right, second brother, about this business."

"Done well, it’ll be very profitable."

"But before that, we need to go over there and take a look."

"Not here in Beijing?" Hearing this, the business might not even proceed.

"Yes, but it’s close to 90% certain." Over the past couple of days, Gong Tao had researched well and could say that the information they received increased their confidence.

"How come you have no confidence in me?" Gong Tao said, displeased.

Gong Zhuang wouldn’t dare admit that; he could lack confidence in everyone else, but certainly not in Gong Tao, "Brother, I can’t possibly lack confidence in you."

"Brother, my family’s current life is because we believed in you." Gong Zhuang boasted proudly, once Gong Zheng contacted Gong Tao before him.

But what was the result? That guy was too full of himself, and eventually, the second brother ignored him, yet he didn’t realize it was his own fault and blamed the second brother for being unreasonable.

Gong Zhuang could only say that sometimes one reads too much and overestimates oneself, not considering one’s own position.

Because of a house, his eldest son and his current wife were in constant conflict, and he wondered how Gong Zheng would feel knowing about his financial situation—they’d definitely be envious.

"That’s good, take a few days to recharge, then we head off." Gong Tao turned to leave.

They’re all preparing to tackle business matters; the factory needs proper instructions, otherwise the home front might encounter issues.

"How long will we be away?"

"At least half a month, maybe up to a month." Gong Tao estimated longer to ensure certainty.

A month, oh my god, when they went to Yangcheng it didn’t take that long; this must be a big deal!

Gong Zhuang was all smiles; he wasn’t worried about hardship or fatigue, just not making money.

Everyone says his business in Shen City is doing well, but really he’s just making small cash to maintain appearances—he’s long been thinking about branching out for new business channels.

Unexpectedly, his second brother had already planned ahead for him—not bad, truly wonderful.

The second brother truly is his benefactor, "I’ll arrange it right away."

Thanks to listening to his son’s advice earlier and bringing his brother-in-law’s kid close, even if he’s not too experienced, he can still manage. Otherwise, relying solely on his wife, he’d worry if she could handle it.

Gong Zhuang hurried back to his room to discuss the matter with his wife, or else she’d be worried—or suspect he’s up to no good outside.

Moreover, he needed to drop a hint to the brother-in-law’s family; he couldn’t tarnish their reputation, after all, he’d been praising the Miao Family earlier.

If this thing isn’t executed well, would his second brother give him another chance?

Even if the business is lucrative, and it truly is big money, without his second brother and them, Gong Zhuang didn’t think they could manage.

There’s always a chance of getting tricked or scammed, better to follow the second brother for fortune.

Gong Zhuang returned to Gong Jiaming’s residence, immediately calling his wife upon arrival, receiving countless praises from her, then called his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

When calling his father-in-law, it was not only about sharing the good news but also hoping he’d talk to his brother-in-law later and offer some guidance.

Gong Jiaming wasn’t interested in hearing all this; he was busy looking for Gong Ruzhi to tell him about his rough life these days, and incidentally, try to gauge his intentions.
