Chapter 940: Steal My Wife (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The longer she lived in the capital, the more she understood it.

Gu Qingyao had discovered that times had not progressed as rapidly as she imagined they would.

She had lived in the capital for a long time in her previous life, but she did not really understand what was happening there at that time. In her previous life, she had lived first in her hometown, then after she moved to the capital, she had shut herself in for a long time, just staying home and avoiding others.

When Mo Beihan had time, he would bring her out, but they always went away to have fun. She did not really understand how the capital was developing.

She knew the general trend of how the era developed, but she was only just realizing how poor the current economy was.

With the Gu family’s background, the Qiao family’s support and the Mo family’s adoration, plus her many years overseas, she had witnessed what prosperity looked like. She had plenty of money and excellent foresight. To her, money was insignificant.

But the longer she lived there, the more she realized that the capital was not prospering at this time.

Even the suburbs of the capital were no different from the villages. The farmers still led very hard lives and barely had enough to eat.

She had always remained within an environment where everything was the best and had not realized many things.


As realization dawned, she began to change her business structure. That was why she had earlier suggested that her older cousin in the Qiao family design clothes that were targeted at the general population as the main consumers.

At the time, China had difficulty supporting any endeavors that required huge expenditure. But small businesses were doing very well because there was very little competition.

She suddenly thought of Gu Fangting and Jiang Xun. The two young people had begun with an ordinary little restaurant, and they were doing very well. Every time she saw them, they were wearing content smiles.

Their eyes were filled with hope for the future.

By contrast, she was struggling with something on the level of Jin Jiang Restaurant.

If the capital developed in later years, this city could support five or six branches of Jin Jiang Restaurant. The consumers in the capital could afford it. But now, a single restaurant was enough.

Rather, it was the smaller restaurants that were crowded.

She thought about the huge quantities of goods in her interspace. She would have to find a way to move them.

***

Gu Qingyao looked for three days before she found a shop space that she wanted.

The space was quite small, only 400 square meters in area. Gu Qingyao wanted to start a small supermarket. This size was really too small for a supermarket.

The space was not on the main streets of the capital, but on a side street which was cheaper. The shop space had a fairly good location on that street. Gu Qingyao had studied the traffic flow there. This place was relatively crowded.

So she spent 160,000 yuan and bought it.

To Gu Qingyao, spending 160,000 yuan on a 400-square-meter shop space was like buying cabbages.

Then she thought of current salaries. Ordinary people worked so hard to farm the land, and after a year’s hard work, a family could only earn about 180 yuan. Most people with jobs earned a salary of about 40 to 60 yuan. To them, 160,000 yuan was a vast sum.

She suddenly thought of a phrase that became common in later years.

As the price of houses rose, many people said that if they had known, they would have bought when prices were cheaper.. So many and so many years ago, prices were only 1,000 or 2,000 yuan per square meter. Who knew that it would rise to tens of thousands in later years?
