Chapter 951 Leading People South
Zhou Guo nodded, "I understand. I will definitely keep these for myself."
At dawn the next day, the group harnessed the carriage.
The Zhou family stood at the door, reluctantly bidding farewell to Zhou Guo.
Li said, "It will be cold soon. Although the south is not as cold as the north, it is not easy to live in winter. If you can't make it back for the New Year, then don't come back. It will be the same if you come back in the spring next year. There is no need to rush and brave the wind and snow to make the journey and suffer!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole family looked at her in surprise, unable to believe that these words came out of her mouth.
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "Mom, it's rare that you actually asked Guoguo not to rush back for the New Year. In previous years, when did you not tell her to rush back?"
Li said, "How can it be the same this time? She was in the north before, and it would only take a few days to get home. But this time she's in the south, it's different. Who knows where she's going. It will be freezing cold and the journey will be long. If she rushes back, she'll easily get sick. I'm not a stepmother."
Everyone laughed.
Zhou Guo was very touched. Her mother had always attached great importance to the Chinese New Year and the ancestor worship. No matter where she was before, she would always ask her to come back.
This time, she was allowed to spend the New Year outside, which was really unexpected. She agreed: "Mom, don't worry, I will see to it. I will take good care of ourselves outside. You should also be good at home. Don't be stingy with food and clothes just to save a little money. You should spend what you need."
"I know. The money you gave me last time hasn't been spent yet. You gave me another two thousand this time. Even if there are ten more people in our family, we can't spend it all." Li waved her hand. She was not worried about money at all now. Although she would still save money, she would not worry about it all day long.
My daughter is so capable that she can never earn back the money she makes in her lifetime. Why are you still worrying? It's useless to worry because she doesn't have the ability to take on this job.
As the family reluctantly said goodbye, Zhou Guo and his gang left.
When the villagers saw him, they would just ask: Are you going out again?
It's gone.
The carriage slowly left the village.
The old man sat in the carriage, patted the mattress under him, and felt the bumps of the carriage passing through the village road. He was very satisfied, "This carriage is good, very good!"
Looking around, up and down, I feel that everything is good and I am satisfied with everything.
Zhou Guo pulled out a hidden box from the table, which was filled with snacks, candied fruits, and dried meat, neatly arranged in grids.
The old man's eyes lit up, "This is also good!"
He had not had the chance to ride in the carriage since it was built, and he said in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you bring it back earlier so that I could ride in it?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "I have only used this carriage twice since it was built. It has always been in Chengding. I just brought it back this time. Although this carriage is not so bumpy, it is slow. I am busy, so how can I have time to drive the carriage slowly?"
Traveling fast on horseback saves a lot of effort.
The old man said, "You just don't know how to enjoy life. Why would you ride a horse when you have such a good thing? I can sit in the carriage for days without getting off."
"Then you sit down. It will take more than half a month to go south from here. There is room for you."
Before heading south, they had to go to Chengding. In addition to seeing how the dim sum shop there was preparing, they also had to pick up a few people.
After going south, these people will first have to stay in the shops and land they have purchased for two years to train their staff, which requires these people to be extremely capable.
Fortunately, there is not much else in the north in recent years, but there are shops one after another. Over the years, those who need experience have been trained, and there are still many such people.
Hu Zi has already selected the people, twelve in total.
Everyone has been waiting for a long time.
Zhou Guo looked at them. These were her elders, the first group of people who followed her and came here with Hu Zi and Wu Jiang.
Most of these people were transferred to Nanhe, and there were not many left in the North.
The remaining half of the Northland is now here.
She said, "Thank you for your hard work. This time, your mission in the south is more important than mine. We need to start our own business in a new place, open the fertilizer shop, the grain shop, and the mountain product shop, and establish a firm foothold. In the future, we will slowly open the escort agency and other shops as well."
The Zhou family now has quite a lot of industries. Not to mention the grains and mountain products, even the fruits, crabs, and fish grown on the farm are increasing year by year and have become an industry.
Although crabs in the south certainly cannot be sold at the same price as those in the north, there are still grouper crabs. Moreover, raising them in the south is definitely much easier than in the north. You don’t have to spend so much energy and financial resources. Even if you can’t sell them at such a high price, there is no loss. In any case, you will make a profit.
Everyone was very excited.
"Master, you don't have to say anything. Brother Huzi has already told us that we are willing to go there. There is nothing there now. We can go over there and build it up bit by bit, just like you led us to do it back then. It's exciting just thinking about it!"
"Yes, we all think so."
There was no coward among these people. They watched Zhou Guo lead them to develop the Zhou family step by step into what it is today. Their admiration for Zhou Guo was like a surging river. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep when they thought about opening up a new place on their own.
This is much more interesting than being a shopkeeper in the North!
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Okay, if you have this confidence, you can accomplish anything. Go down and prepare. We will set off the day after tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" The group dispersed.
I'm afraid I won't be back in a short time. I have to explain everything I need to do, pack up my things, and treat my brothers to a meal. There are a lot of things to do.
Hu Zi said, "Master, they are still young. How about exchanging them with the group from Nanhe?"
At least Nanhe has Wu Jiang watching over them, so they don't have to make all the decisions on their own.
Once they were let out, they were like birds flying into the sky. He was worried that if he couldn't control himself, something bad might happen.
Zhou Guo shook his head. "I trust my employees. Besides, they are grown up and have been the head shopkeeper for several years. They are sure of many things. If they are really unsure, can't they write back? Besides, when the properties in these places are acquired, the escort agency will be opened there and the roads will be opened. It will be much easier to contact them. There is no need to worry about these things."
With so many senior managers under his command, he will definitely go south for inspection from time to time. It is impossible for him to just leave it alone.
Hu Zi stopped talking.
This time we are going together and we have more money.
Originally, I wanted Quanzi to go with us, but unfortunately, both Beidi and Nanhe needed him.
At that time, they will meet directly in Huaiyang.
After meeting these people, Zhou Guo went to the snack shop.
After so many days, the shop has been almost ready.
Three days later is the auspicious time and the shop will open.
Er Pang said, "Master, you see, although Chengding may not have as many people as Yunzhou, the shop is easier to find. The shop here is much bigger than the one over there. There are eight private rooms upstairs that size, and they can be decorated more elegantly."
