48: Chapter 48 Guo Family Guo Anyan 48: Chapter 48 Guo Family Guo Anyan Guo Family Mansion, Guo Siyu got off the car and headed inside.

As soon as she entered, she saw her father, Guo Anyan, gesticulating wildly like a clumsy monkey.

Siyu acted as if she hadn’t seen him; she was used to her father’s fondness for practicing odd things.

“Oh, Siyu, you’re back.

I heard you’ve been quite busy lately, how come you have time to visit me?”

“Aren’t you the captain of the Guo family ship?

Shouldn’t you be handling these activities?”

“Haha, it’s just us in our family.

Soon it will all fall to you and your brother.

Your brother is still young, so it falls upon you, the older sister, to help,” Guo Anyan said unabashedly.

Guo Siyu was gritting her teeth in frustration; she never knew what to do about her father.

“This time, I’m here to discuss serious matters.

Do you remember the matter about the gold shipment last time?”

“Of course, I do.

I couldn’t believe it.

I asked many old friends, and none said that country ever used gold coins like that, but the circulation marks on them couldn’t be faked, not to mention there were so many.”

“It’s possible that it was minted by an undiscovered regime, or maybe just a strong currency circulating within a certain faction.

Either way, the refining quality is historically high.”

Whenever Guo Anyan talked about this topic, he could go on and on.

Guo Siyu was somewhat speechless and had to interrupt him, “Zhao Guang just called me, saying he has a new channel, but our family simply doesn’t have enough liquid funds available now.”

The Guo family appeared massive but was not among the top tier.

If Zhao Guang kept finding gold and jade, what would they use to purchase them?

They simply lacked the cash.

Moreover, the other industries in the family were all heavy asset industries, where liquid funds were always scant.

“What’s the matter?

That young man isn’t interested in you, is he?

If so, I’ll need to vet him thoroughly.”

“You talk properly!” Guo Siyu’s face turned red, whether from anger or embarrassment.

“Alright, alright.

That young man has gold again, he really has some impressive channels.

But speaking of which, you should also think about settling down soon, or it’ll get harder to find someone as you age.”

Guo Siyu felt helpless and could only say, “Zhao Guang mentioned he has channels for jade.

If true, we really are in a bind.

But if we give up on this client, we’ll end up nurturing a formidable opponent.”

If the volumes were large, it wouldn’t just be a formidable opponent but a much larger challenge.

The market is only so big; if we eat more, others eat less.

Once someone takes over the market, the industries newly established by our family will have no room to survive.

Although the jewelry industry is a newly tapped market for the family, heavy bets have been placed on it.

If this fails, the consequences are unthinkable.

But if it succeeds, the family will definitely advance significantly.

There aren’t many people in the household, but there are quite a few relatives.

These guys also hold shares in the other family industries, always chirping annoyingly and frustrating to listen to.

“There’s jade too?

Last time you mentioned that young man has connections for obtaining amber, right?”

“Yes, but amber isn’t expensive once you have the connections.”

Guo Anyan showed a meaningful smile, “That young man seems to have strong connections abroad.

If he can get us the cheapest goods, our competitive edge would be significantly heightened.”

He also wanted to show those annoying relatives that he could be successful without them, even more so.

Ever since he took charge, those people hardly ever left him in peace.

It’s not like he doesn’t want to handle the jewelry business; it’s just that he doesn’t have that much time.

If it weren’t for him fending off others, even if he had invested all his money into Da Manjin, others would still cause endless fuss.

“We haven’t yet established connections for jade and amber, have we?”

“Without enough funds, we can only develop in gold for now.

Once we’re stable here, we can consider other options.”

“Very well, you are organized and I am reassured.

How about this – next time Zhao Guang comes to you, if he brings those goods, I’ll meet with him, and I’ll handle this matter.”

“It would be great if you took all the matters in hand.”

Guo Siyu was genuinely weary, but every time she returned home, seeing her father’s monkey-like antics always made her wonder how to even respond.

“Haha, just wait until these busy years are over.

After that, splitting the family business to operate independently wouldn’t be a problem.”

The last sentence was murmured quietly by Guo Anyan, audible only to himself.

At this moment, Zhao Guang had no idea how much trouble he was causing in the Guo family.

After searching, he finally found a three-wheel factory that met his criteria, an old establishment.

Previously, it manufactured tractors but later expanded to include three-wheelers and other products.

However, judging by their product lines, they seemed a bit outdated.

But for that very reason, they still produced old-style three-wheelers.

To anyone else, the quality of the materials used was undoubtedly solid.

Zhao Guang dialed the phone and immediately heard a delicate voice on the other end, “Hello, how can I assist you?”

He thought this factory was about to close down; he wondered how they managed to arrange such pleasant customer service.

And really, her voice was quite charming.

“Hello, I want to purchase a batch of three-wheelers, the first batch of one hundred units.

I want the old models without batteries; they must be sturdy.”

“Hello, our three-wheelers are definitely the sturdiest.

May I ask where the goods will be delivered?” the voice on the other end directly inquired about Zhao Guang’s delivery address.

“In the southern district of Zhou City,” Zhao Guang reported the rough address.

The voice paused for a moment before speaking again.

“I’ve checked, and in Zhou City, we have one direct store.

If it’s convenient, you could directly visit there,” she suggested.

This was a significant customer, and they did not trust such business could be concluded over the phone.

Zhao Guang was also surprised; he hadn’t expected a direct store to be so close.

“Alright, I understand.

I will go there to see for myself,” he said.

Zhao Guang checked the address and soon noticed a tractor factory sign.

No wonder he hadn’t found it earlier; tractors and three-wheelers are not the same thing.

The nearby area of Zhou City had many large farms, which were why there were several tractor manufacturers.

However, due to fierce competition, the profit margins for everyone were not high, making the tractor factory look somewhat rundown.
