Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife Chapter 1631 - 1632: Starting Another Business

The wedding ceremony for Cheng Yaozu and Ying Xiaoya concluded with lively celebrations, and the following day, embracing international customs, the newlyweds embarked on their honeymoon abroad.

Regarding Cheng Su, considering that the elder Mr. Cheng had previously bestowed a shop upon Qi Xiaoqi, she decided to use this occasion to visit Guangcheng. Her intention was to assess the shop's potential for business ventures or for rental income, rather than letting it remain idle and unused.

After tending to Qi Xiaoqi, ensuring she was fed and settled for sleep, Cheng Su entrusted her to her parents' care. She then seized the opportunity to slip away unnoticed and inspect the locale of the shop.

The establishment was situated in a vibrant commercial district, encircled by a myriad of other businesses offering diverse goods, reminiscent of a bustling wholesale market.

Pausing at the intersection, Cheng Su found herself momentarily lost in thought. The continuous flow of vehicles and the comings and goings of pedestrians on bicycles evoked a strong sense of nostalgia for her previous existence. During that time, she had accompanied Luh Wei to this very place, their sole purpose being to procure the finest culinary ingredients.

Luh Wei, a celebrated figure in the culinary world, was also notoriously exacting in his preferences. His approach to preparing dishes involved meticulous ingredient selection, with a particular fondness for dried goods. He frequently frequented this specific street, known for its dry provisions, in pursuit of premium materials.

Indeed, while Dongde Street now housed a variety of enterprises, in the years to come, it would gain renown as a dedicated dry goods street. It would specialize in seafood, operating on both wholesale and retail levels, with an expansive wholesale market located directly behind it.

Furthermore, the shop gifted by the elder Mr. Cheng occupied a prime position at the street's entrance, precisely at the intersection. Its location offered exceptional accessibility, a high volume of foot traffic, and most critically, it was slated to be incorporated into the future wholesale market for seafood and dry goods.

If a seafood establishment were to open on this street, how could its business possibly falter?

A spark ignited in Cheng Su's mind, and she proceeded to explore the street. Upon completing a full circuit, her excitement was palpable.

At the present moment, no other business on this thoroughfare was engaged in the seafood trade; not a single establishment.

What an opportune moment to seize this advantage!

Currently, while some businesses dealt in dry goods and seafood, the more prominent establishments were renowned restaurants that had extended their names to street-level shops. She wasn't necessarily aiming to forge an independent brand from the outset, but by initiating ventures now, in twenty to thirty years, it could certainly be considered an established, reputable brand, could it not?

With societal and economic progress, dried seafood products would increasingly find their way onto dining tables, frequently used as gifts, particularly during festive seasons. These occasions would present prime opportunities for a seafood shop to generate substantial revenue.

Even during ordinary times, as living standards improved and disposable income grew, individuals would seek to maintain their health and well-being. Consequently, a seafood shop would become a go-to destination for selecting suitable items.

These were all valid considerations, but the crucial factor was the future. As this area evolved into a renowned hub for seafood and dry goods, regardless of whether they were local or out-of-town vendors, who would *not* frequent it for wholesale purchases? The business prospects could only flourish, not diminish.

Old Master Cheng was remarkably generous; the shop bequeathed to Qi Xiaoqi was approximately forty square meters. Its regular dimensions and advantageous location clearly indicated its potential for prosperity. Renting it out would undoubtedly yield a substantial income.

However, could the returns from renting it out truly surpass the benefits of operating it personally?

Cheng Su openly acknowledged her fondness for wealth, and once an idea took root, she was not one to let it slip away.

Thus, she reconnoitered the vicinity once more, armed with a pen. She sketched a basic map, denoted specific locations, and meticulously jotted down her observations. She also made a point of engaging in conversation with several elderly residents, gathering valuable insights that she duly recorded.

It wasn't until dusk began to settle that she finally secured the shop's entrance and returned home, her decision firmly made.

Upon her arrival, she announced to the assembled company, "Regarding Xiaoqi's shop, I intend to establish a business there, specializing in seafood and dry goods."
