Shi Youliang and Liu Sanying quickly prepared more than 2,000 rice cakes and distributed them.

The money was transferred online. It was sent over before the glutinous rice cake was made.

Seeing that the courier company had come to get the goods, Liu Sanying’s eyes were filled with hope. She said, “Hubby, will we have such a big order in the future?” If there was one every day, she would definitely have to ask someone to help.

Shi Youliang nodded and said, “Manager Huang said that if his customers eat the glutinous rice cake and like them, we will have a formal cooperation in the future!”

“Haha, this is our first order. There will definitely be more and more orders like this in the future.” Liu Sanying was really happy.

However, she quickly thought of a problem and said, “Hubby, should we give Little Gu a cut of the money for this order?”

This order did not go through the online shop, but through direct contact.

…..

Shi Youliang said without hesitation, “Of course! Without Little Gu, we don’t know if we could have gotten this order!”

Actually, he thought that although Gu Qingming did not like this little bit of money, this was a separate matter.

One had to know how to be grateful!

Gu Qingming’s goal in establishing an online shop was actually to help the villagers sell some things. Her goal was not to earn money.

However, she could not help the villagers for free. This would make the villagers feel that this was what Gu Qingming should do. After all, she was rich and did not lack this bit of money.

Liu Sanying nodded and said, “Yes, in this half a month, plus this big order, we’ll have about 2,000 dollars in our account.”

Gu Qingming’s commission was paid at the end of the month. It was settled once a month.

The shop had been operating for more than a month.

Gu Qingming asked Zhou Fangfang to settle it once.

The things that the villagers sold the best were the taros from Third Master Shi’s house. They were sold out for more than a thousand catties.

Many of them were repeat customers!

At the time of settlement, the 1,200 catties of taros yielded a total of 3,618 dollars. The 3% commission had to be given to the shop was a total of 108.5 dollars.

Third Master Shi insisted on giving 110 dollars, and Gu Qingming asked Zhou Fangfang to only accept 100 yuan.

Grandpa Shi San’s taros were sold out in a month. It was completely beyond the villagers’ expectations.

Previously, those who mocked the online shop for not being able to sell anything and said some sarcastic words felt like they had been slapped in the face.

Not only were Third Master Shi’s taros selling well, but the other things, ginger, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and so on, were also selling well.

The quantity was not much. After the item was sold, the picture of the item was taken off the shelves.

The total revenue of the shop in the first month was not much. She had only earned about 200 yuan, and she still had to pay her employee. She had to make some operating costs. This was a complete loss.

Even so, there were still people who were unwilling to take a cut, such as a villager selling ginger.

She chose to sell it in town herself. One catty was only 4 dollars at most.

However, the price Gu Qingming had set for her at the shop was 6.6 dollars per catty. After deducting the delivery fee, one catty reached 5.5 dollars per catty.

Her family’s ginger was selling quite well.

At the end of the month, she earned more than 200 dollars. Gu Qingming asked the commission to take out 7 dollars.

Unexpectedly, she was not very willing.

She even said that Gu Qingming was so rich that she shouldn’t care about such a small amount of money. Why was she so calculative about 7 dollars?

When Gu Qingming heard her strange reason for not wanting to pay, she said with a smile instead of being angry, “Aunt Chen, I’m sorry. It’s my business if 1 have money. This has nothing to do with whether you pay or not.

“Previously, when 1 promised to sell things to the villagers on the website, I told everyone that 1 wanted a 3% commission. If you don’t want to pay a commission, you can choose not to use my online shop to sell!”

Aunt Chen looked embarrassed, but she still said, “This… this isn’t just 7 dollars. It’s not even enough for a meal. It’s not much at all. You don’t lack money, right?”

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Alright, Aunt Chen. Since you’re unwilling to pay the 7 dollars commission, forget it.”

When Aunt Chen heard this, she immediately became happy. She beamed and said, “1 knew it. You are easy to talk to. You don’t lack this bit of money. Thank you, Little Gu!”

Gu Qingming waved her hand and said, “Aunt Chen, there’s no need to thank me! In any case, my online shop won’t display your things again in the future!”

Aunt Chen’s expression changed. She asked, “What… what do you mean?”

Zhou Fangfang rolled her eyes and said straightforwardly, “It’s just that our shop won’t sell your things in the future!”

When Aunt Chen heard this, she questioned angrily, “Why won’t you sell my things anymore?”

“Just because you’re not willing to take a cut!” Zhou Fangfang said sharply. “Yes, it’s only 7 dollars, but you’re not even willing to pay such a small amount of money. If you sell a little more and we charge you a little more commission, won’t your heart ache to death?

“Don’t you know that our CEO Gu has been losing money in order to sell the things from the village? Do you know how much commission we received last month? It was only two hundred dollars. Can two hundred dollars support this shop? CEO Gu is only taking a symbolic commission. CEO Gu is rich, but that’s not a reason for CEO Gu to keep losing money, right?”

Aunt Chen’s face alternated between red and white. She said awkwardly, “But… but…”

Gu Qingming waved her hand and said, “There’s nothing wrong with that. Since 1 opened this shop, I’m doing business. If you come to my place to sell, I’ll help you sell. It’s about mutual beneifts. There shouldn’t be a problem for me to collect remuneration according to my work, right? However, since you have a problem, that’s another matter. But I won’t take on your family’s business anymore in the future. Aunt Chen, please do as you please!”

When Aunt Chen heard this, she immediately put down the 7 dollars in change and said with an embarrassed smile, “Little Gu, don’t be angry. I was just joking with you. How can I not give you such a small amount of money, right?”

She had already tasted the sweetness of selling things online. In the future, she planned to sell more ginger online.

If Gu Qingming was unwilling to help sell them, she would have to choose to sell them in town. It would not sell for much.

With Aunt Chen’s example, when the villagers settled the bill later, they would pay whatever amount Zhou Fangfang quoted.

Anyway, to the villagers, they only gave Gu Qingming a little money.

In the future, they would also hope to sell more things online.

Zhou Fangfang waited until the last villager left before taking a deep breath. She stretched her waist and said to Gu Qingming, “CEO Gu, what are these people thinking? They want to get benefits but don’t want to pay a price. How can this be so easy? They keep thinking that you’re rich, but what has your money got to do with them? They keep thinking that you’re rich and want to take advantage of you!”

Gu Qingming smiled slightly and said, “Hehe, it’s not so easy to take advantage of me!”

She did not want to indulge these villagers who take her good intentions for granted..
