The northern cities had always progressed more slowly than the south. In the future, the overall economy in the south would be much stronger than in the north. The people here were extremely good at doing business.

Gu Fangting said, “Actually, when we passed those train stations, I saw many small hawkers. They all have an eye on the future, and they seem especially sharp. We seldom see people like that in the north.”

Gu Qingyao put away the luggage and smiled, “Things progress faster here. The coastal cities have opened up even more. When you walk around later and take a look, you will understand. The people here are even better at business than you. You can take a look at the big markets. I heard that there are many home appliances, clothes, shoes, and various daily supplies. There’s everything, and prices here are always lower than in the north.

“Many people import from here, then transport it north to sell. You can make a lot of money that way!”

Gu Fangting was startled. “Really, older cousin? Are things here very cheap?”

“Of course they are. This is a production base. Things are different from the north. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself. In a few years, many people will grow rich because of this. But you and Jiang Xun don’t need to bother about this. At present, the economy is growing, and there are plenty of opportunities. You’ve studied at institutes of higher learning, and you don’t need to rush into these small things.

“You should focus on big and strong businesses. Even for things like turning goods around, you must do something different. You can’t just be limited to transporting things from the south to the north and earning the price difference.”

In the eighties and nineties, the roads were paved with gold. It was easy to succeed at anything. It was easy to be distracted at this time. One must focus on going big, not trying to do everything. After all, everyone must have their own specialties.

People like Gu Fangting and Jiang Xun, who had received a higher education and who had families like the Gus and the Mos to back them up, should be at the forefront of such people. They did not need to dabble in such businesses.

Unless… they created a system!

Gu Fangting thought about it and nodded. “That’s true. There are just the two of us. If we try to do so many things, we won’t be able to manage. We must make proper plans for our future.”

“Older Cousin, recently, many people in the market have made money from small businesses. That includes some of our classmates. They’re awfully smug. They’re just selling some small items. They do whatever will earn money. Some of them are so busy they can’t even keep up with their schoolwork.”

Gu Qingyao frowned. “Please don’t learn from them.”

Now, there were opportunities everywhere. Many people were not very capable but managed to make some money just out of luck.

In the past, life had been too hard. Now that they suddenly had a little money, it was easy for them to lose their focus.

Gu Qingyao said, “Many people long for the chance to enter an institute of higher learning. Since you have that opportunity, you must treasure it. As for being in a hurry to earn money, remember, there are plenty of chances in the future! Don’t be so eager for short-term gain. When you’ve learnt enough, you can earn plenty of money in the future.”

Gu Fangting shrank back. When she and Jiang Xun saw that those people had earned some money, they were envious and impatient. Their own restaurant had earned quite a large sum, but their workload in school was heavy. Especially since the boys from the Gu family were so talented, they learnt many other things beyond their curriculum. In comparison, the two of them spent too much time on their schoolwork.

This affected their earnings.

They had considered whether to cut back on their schoolwork so they could spend more time earning money!

But in the end, Jiang Xun disagreed. The Gu and Mo families’ children were too outstanding. When the Qiao family returned, they also saw what the Qiao cousins were like.

That made Jiang Xun even more adamant.
