She planned to get it as no one was aware of it now.
“Where are we heading?” Shen Erkui asked in a helpless tone. ‘You know me, I didn’t make much money in the construction team.”
“I’ve identified a promising business opportunity. If you trust me, you can join me,” Su Wen said, displaying her open-mindedness. She was always willing to a.s.sist others when possible. “Have you heard about the Agricultural and Finished Goods Trading Market established in the county?
“I’m aware of it. I’ve seen it on a large scale, but n.o.body is willing to invest in renting a stall. Everyone is setting up stalls outside for free. Why would they spend money on it?”
“No, Brother Er Kui. We shouldn’t allow them to set up their stalls randomly in the future. Moreover, the Agricultural and Finished Goods Trading Market is a crucial provincial project. It will receive substantial support and undoubtedly flourish.”
Su Wen’s words stirred Shen Erkui. After pondering for a moment, he inquired,
“So, you mean no one will be allowed to set up stalls randomly in the future?”
“Yes! Brother Er Kui, you’ve witnessed it yourself. How is the hygiene every time a stall is set up in town?”
“It’s a mess. The ground is covered with rotten vegetable leaves, the smell of fish, and flies everyvvhere.” He wouldn’t have realized the issue without Su Wen’s reminder. Since farmers were permitted to trade freely, the number of stalls had increased, turning the once clean and tidy ground into a dirty, chaotic place.
“Without restrictions, it will seriously harm the environment over time. Moreover, managing so many stalls is not easy. Therefore, a standardized farmer’s market will be the norm in the future. I’m planning to buy two storefront houses in the county town. Think about it. If you’re interested, we can do it together.”
Shen Erkui looked at Su Wen, wanting to express his thoughts, but Su Wen raised her hand and interrupted him.
“I know what you’re hesitating about. It’s probably due to a lack of funds. However, you can’t miss this opportunity. It might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If it’s about pride, I don’t think it’s necessary.”
“But Su Wen, it’s not easy for you either. It must be difficult to come up with so much money at once, right?”
“Figure it out yourself. If you can’t get enough money, I’ll help cover it. The current price is quite affordable,” Su Wen said with a sly smile. “I heard that because no one is willing to do it, the government is offering interest-free loans to encourage farmers to start their businesses.”
Relieved, Shen Erkui sighed, “An interest-free loan is good. You don’t have to pay upfront. I’ll find a way to get some funds from a friend. As for the rest, I’ll ask the village chief to be my guarantor for an interest-free loan.”
“Sure,” Su Wen gave him a thumbs up, thinking that Shen Erkui was the right person that Su Xuewen had identified. At least, his character deserved respect. The Su family was currently weak, and if Shen Erkui could prosper, he would be a valuable a.s.set to the sisters in the future.
Shen Erkui smiled sincerely, “Alright, I’ll follow your lead. I trust your judgment, Little Wen.”
“What are you two discussing?” A familiar voice interrupted them.
Su Wen turned around to see Zhou Hengyang’s ashen face. He stared at them with a sharp gaze, as if he had been betrayed.
“Uh… I’m talking to Su Wen about buying a stall in the county town, ” Shen Erkui explained anxiously. “Su Wen and I are planning to start a small business together,” he said..
