Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence-Chapter 330 - 167: This One Million Came Too Suddenly! (Triple Combo)
The three of them chatted casually for about ten minutes before four waitstaff in hotel uniforms knocked and pushed a cart into the private room to start serving the dishes.
With each dish served, a waiter warmly announced the name of the dish and gave a brief introduction.
Once all the dishes were served, the waitstaff exited the room. Jiang Tao, his sister, and Zhang Chao ate the delicious food while chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
The topics of conversation ranged from the past to the present, from work to life, leaving nothing untouched.
Not only had Zhang Chao’s life changed drastically, but so had Jiang Tao’s. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Before the New Year, Jiang Tao was just a humble truck driver at the Red Star Second-hand Furniture Market.
For the sake of living and supporting his family, he spent his days with the truck, rushing about in the wind and rain from dawn till dusk.
After the New Year, he started his own company and set up a food factory, beginning his entrepreneurial journey as a boss.
Although the Eight Treasure Pickles from the food factory were still in the phase of free distribution and tasting, Jiang Tao had absolute confidence in Brother Tongzi’s optimized recipe and the Delicious Pickle Jar!
His Eight Treasure Pickles were like an airplane taxiing on the runway, destined to soar high into the sky and become a famous culinary specialty in Beijing!
In the future pickle market, his product would surely have a place!
Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei’s life paths were also altered by Jiang Tao.
According to previous years, the two of them would have returned to Beijing to sell fruit by now, but this year, they were still back home helping Jiang Tao sell cattle.
Of course, they weren’t just helping Jiang Tao; the two were also shareholders, investing for their own benefit.
In just over a month, besides the 10,000-yuan monthly salary Jiang Tao paid them, they expected to earn dividends of around eighty to ninety thousand or nearly a hundred thousand from the cattle farm investment.
In a single month after the New Year, they earned more than they did in a whole year of hard work in the past!
Not to mention the considerable profit they made by selling sugar tangerines before the New Year.
The duo found it sweet to partner with Jiang Tao on projects, and now they’d struggle to return to wholesaling fruit and selling it at fairs!
Once used to the big bucks, who cares for the small change?
"Brother Jiang, if any suitable projects come up in the future, count me in and let’s do them together!"
Zhang Chao had previously missed several opportunities to earn money with Jiang Tao due to lack of capital. Now that he had the means, he wouldn’t miss out again.
Jiang Tao jokingly said, "Aren’t you, Chaozi, still hanging around? Didn’t your parents set you up with some business?"
Zhang Chao honestly replied, "No, my mom just said she’d give me some pocket money each month so I don’t have to worry about work."
Jiang Tao laughed heartily, "Haha, it’s true what they say, don’t worry about the second generation squandering money; worry about them starting businesses. You might as well stay at home and live off your family obediently."
Faced with Jiang Tao’s teasing, Zhang Chao wasn’t annoyed and laughed, "It’s quite fun to laze around for a week or two, but doing nothing every day becomes meaningless and a waste of time and life; I need to find something to do."
Jiang Tao laughed, "Alright, if there’s a suitable project in the future, I’ll be sure to include you."
"Great! Thanks in advance, Brother Jiang! I’ll drink to that." Zhang Chao smiled and raised his glass to toast Jiang Tao again.
"Cheers." Jiang Tao clinked his glass with Zhang Chao’s, and the pair downed their drinks in one go.
The meal went on from a little past noon until around two in the afternoon before they parted ways.
After Zhang Chao settled the bill, the three of them left the restaurant together.
Zhang Chao called for a designated driver to take him home, while Jiang Tao had Third Brother act as his driver to take him to the food factory in the industrial park.
Lately, he had left the food factory work to his parents, and it had been several days since he last stopped by.
"Uncle Tao, Aunt Xiao Bing! Good afternoon!"
Seeing Jiang Tao and Jiang Bing approaching together, Jiang Jiaqi jogged up to greet them.
After his parents went to the market stall to continue handing out free Eight Treasure Pickles, only Jiang Jiaqi was left to "hold down the fort" at the food factory.
At present, Jiang’s Food Factory had not officially launched operations, with Jiang Tao and Jiang Bing serving as the two managers, totaling just five people.
For now, not many people were needed, but in the future, this small crew would certainly be insufficient.
Jiang Bing playfully teased, "Little Qiqi, have you been slacking off alone at the factory?"
Jiang Jiaqi quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I’m following Uncle Tao’s instructions to draft the factory’s rules and regulations for each department."
Jiang Tao laughed, "Third Brother, don’t tease Jiaqi, she’s more dedicated than you are."
Jiang Tao was quite fond of this young employee, aside from his parents and Third Brother.
Not to mention, because of some information Jiang Jiaqi provided, Jiang Tao stumbled upon a salary card with a monthly limit of up to 100,000 yuan.
The monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan was like a bonus, independent from the food factory’s profits.
Just this fact alone cemented Jiang Jiaqi’s irreplaceable position at Jiang’s Food Factory.
In the future, Jiang Tao not only planned to pay her a high salary but also give her a promotion.
"You two chat away, I’m heading back to Cui Village to slave away for someone!"
Jiang Bing gave her brother a glance, twirled the car keys on her finger, and walked towards the Mercedes GLS parked at the entrance, driving off.
"Let’s go, Xiao Qi, show me around the operation room."
It had been several days since Jiang Tao last visited, and he was curious about the changes at the food factory.
