Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 68 Cousin, Your Cousin Will Help You Manage the Family Business 7

Hua Wenhao arrived at Magistrate Hua's courtyard.

The girl, Chenyan, was holding a white cat. The cat was nestled lazily in the person's arms, enjoying its owner's massage.

Seemingly unaware of Hua Wenhao's arrival, she was only focused on the white cat in her arms.

Hua Wenhao withdrew his gaze and went to the outside of his father's study.

"Father, I request an audience."

"Come in."

Hua Wenhao pushed open the door and entered. "Father, Mother is seriously injured and can't get out of bed now."

"Don't mention that poisonous woman to me. I spared her life for Yan'er's sake. If you can't get out of bed, then stay in your room. Don't come out again."

"Father!" Hua Wenhao exclaimed in surprise. Had his father truly and completely abandoned his mother?

"I don't think you're cut out for studying. Didn't you say you wanted to open a shop and do business? I agree, go ahead."

Hua Wenhao was once again stunned by the words.

Is Dad going to give up on him?

Was it because his half-brother was praised by the teacher? Or was he, like his mother, going to give way to the child of the outsider, Shenyan?

When he returned home from Jiangnan last time, he mentioned that prices were high there, and the same things would cost twice as much.

Later, my father was worried about how to entertain his colleagues, which would cost a lot of money.

He told his father that he could open a shop and earn some money.

His father scolded him on the spot.

The social hierarchy is scholar, farmer, artisan, merchant. His father is a county magistrate, yet he's being asked to open a shop—this is an insult to him.

The day ended with him being severely scolded by his father.

Unexpectedly, his father now wants him to go into business.

My father used to look down on me, but now he's making me do it.

Is this punishment for his mother and for him?

"Alright, let's go. Don't stay here."

Magistrate Hua ordered the people to leave.

As Hua Wenhao left the courtyard, he heard his father gently calling Yan'er's name.

Shenyan, it's all because of her that her father treated her mother and him that way.

Hua Wenhao left.

He was asked to start a business, but there was no shop available.

They didn't even give him the capital to start a business.

Is this asking him to get something for nothing?

Hua Wenhao's savings over the years amounted to only twenty taels.

Hua Yuan didn't save any money at all; she spent it all on clothes and jewelry.

She was unwilling to give those pieces of jewelry to Hua Wenhao.

It's one thing for her brother not to give her money, but he also wants to ask his sister for money. That's going too far.

In short, it boils down to two words: no money.

When Juanniang found out, she hated Chenyan even more, thinking that Chenyan must have been whispering in the master's ear.

She took out her dowry money, hoping to help Hua Wenhao.

Perhaps the son is truly capable, and the master, seeing his son's abilities, will allow him to return.

Now that the master is tired of her and wants to kill her, all she can rely on is her son.

Hua Wenhao has set off.

All he could think of was to buy some cheap goods from other places and sell them in Jiangnan.

After deducting the cost of goods and round-trip travel expenses, it should be possible to make some profit.

Jiang He was surprised that Hua Wenhao had come to Yucheng.

Looks like they're still getting more stock.

Moreover, they entered the Jiang family's shop.

Jiang He saw it, and Jiang Qingyun saw it too.

Although I have never seen Hua Wenhao in this life, I have seen him in my past life.

He clearly remembered the face of every enemy.

This is the person who knocked down Li Niang and killed their child.

Li Niang had never met Hua Wenhao, nor did she know that he was her sister's child.

He was intently looking at the newly made jewelry in the shop.

Hua Wenhao was inquiring about the price of the jewelry with the shopkeeper.

These pieces of jewelry are no less exquisite than those from Jiangnan.

However, the price is much cheaper.

He remembered that his mother and sister loved buying jewelry, and they would always buy one or two pieces every month.

There are always many people in the jewelry shop.

He never wanted to go inside, and would wait outside for his mother and sister.

He had too little initial capital, so he wanted to accumulate funds quickly.

Selling jewelry is very profitable.

However, he wouldn't spend all his money on jewelry.

He also found the tea here to be very good and reasonably priced.

Together, they can share the risks.

"Shopkeeper, I'd like to see your latest jewelry. The price is negotiable."

"No problem, sir. Take a look at these pieces of jewelry. They are all the most popular styles right now, and the craftsmanship is excellent."

Hua Wenhao selected several pieces of jewelry based on the shopkeeper's recommendations.

He didn't know anything about the jewelry these women wore; they all looked pretty much the same.

Hua Wenhao paid the money and returned to Jiangnan with the goods he had purchased.

He wants to sell these.

Jiang Qingyun spoke with the shopkeeper and learned what Hua Wenhao had bought.

It doesn't look like a gift; it looks like they're buying goods.

The tea shop owner over there also said that someone had come to his shop to buy a batch of tea at wholesale prices.

The goods that Hua Wenhao brought back were of excellent quality, but he had no shop or sales channels.

The only option was to set up a stall on the roadside with those vendors.

The items at these stalls are generally cheap by default.

The jewelry that Hua Wenhao bought for five taels of silver should be worth ten taels of silver.

These were all reasonable prices he determined after visiting jewelry shops.

But when others came to his stall, they would ask for one or two taels of silver.

This price is less than the purchase price, how can he sell it?

These are all high-quality pieces, made with excellent craftsmanship; they are not cheap items.

But people come to the street stalls to buy things because they're cheap.

Although your items look quite good, this is the price for everything at the stall.

They wouldn't be able to accept anything higher.

If you ask them to bring ten taels of silver to buy it, they will go to a jewelry shop instead of choosing from this stall.

Many people were interested in Hua Wenhao's products, but after asking the price, they all waved their hands and said they didn't want them.

This is far beyond what I expected; items at a small stall are more expensive than those in a shop.

There's a guarantee in that shop; the person can't run away.

This stall may be here today, but it might not be here tomorrow. If you get scammed, who can you turn to?

Hua Wenhao originally thought his products would be very popular.

These are all goods that he selected after careful observation.

His products are indeed popular, but they don't sell.

If they can't be sold, these goods will just sit in our hands.

Nothing can be done.

For several days in a row, it was the same. Hua Wenhao went from being confident at the beginning to doubting himself, and now he regrets it.

He was still too hasty.

You shouldn't have invested all your capital at once.

He won't have any money if he doesn't sell it now.

Are we going to sell it at a loss?

Then the amount of money he has will shrink significantly.

Another customer came to the stall.

The guests were very interested, examining each piece of jewelry with great enthusiasm.

Hua Wenhao, however, showed no excitement.

He's seen several guests like that already.

In the end, they would all part ways because they couldn't agree on the price.

At first, Hua Wenhao was very enthusiastic about promoting his products, but now he is considering whether to cut his losses and get rid of these goods in order to select some cheaper and easier-to-sell items.
