Chapter 34 One Step Closer to Becoming Rich
Xiao He’s words considered a slightly positive response to Wang Li.
This proved that Wang Li’s efforts during this period of time had not been in vain.
Hence, her entire person became happy. “Alright, then eat more. Don’t stand there. Let’s eat quickly. The food will be cold in a while.”
By then, Xiao Yun and Lin Xi had come back after washing their hands.
Everyone finally sat at the dining table and started eating. Lin Xi praised a few dishes from time to time, making everyone happy. Everyone said that she was a fairy and Xiao Yun looked at her dotingly.
“Oh right, Xiao He, you said that you wanted to work with us to enter the snack production industry. Can you tell me more about it?” Wang Li obviously had not forgotten about the important matter, so she took the initiative to bring it up.
Xiao He hesitated for a long time, seemingly struggling to speak.
And thus, Xiao Yun took the initiative cover Xiao He. “Aunty Wang Li, since we’re among people we’re familiar with, I’ll be straight forward. How is the situation at your factory at the moment?”
Wang Li pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “To tell you the truth, the factory is not doing as good as before. There’s too much competition now and we are starting to have to rely on our returning customers. But we’re not able to find a solution to this.
“That’s why I was curious when Xiao He proposed the collaboration. I had the same idea a long time ago, so I said I wanted to see what kind of changes you are planning to
make.”
After Xiao He heard it, he looked at Xiao Yun. He now completely believed what Xiao Yun said this morning. After all, Wang Li herself had confirmed it.
But Xiao He and the others did not say anything. In their opinion, since this matter was brought up by Xiao Yun, he would be the one who would have ideas.
They didn’t realize that they no longer treated Xiao Yun as a child but as a peer.
“I was thinking that Aunty Wang could provide the factory while my dad provides the expertise. Because my dad is a chef, his research and development of taste will definitely be better than others.”
Wang Li nodded and Xiao Yun continued to speak. “Then, the money from the lottery can be used to purchase some machines, which will require a lot of money.
“Of course, the profit will be divided according to the proportion of the investment.” Xiao Yun told her about the part that involved money in advance.
As the saying goes, partners should be clear about the accounts. Even though they were not partners yet, laying this out in advance would save a lot of trouble in the future.
Xiao Yun was very sure that Wang Li would join their family one day, so there was no need to go into the specific of dividing the shares so quickly.
“I don’t see any issues in your proposal.” Wang Li nodded and agreed with Xiao Yun’s idea. They need to know how to separate business from personal. She was not the kind of woman who was not clear-headed when it came to love. Otherwise, her factory would not have been open until now.
“I have a classmate who runs a supermarket chain. When the time comes, we can cooperate with them and supply the goods to them,” said Xiao Yun said.
“When the time comes, our profit will be around one hundred thousand yuan a month, and this is just a conservative estimate. This amount doesn’t include other costs yet.” Xiao Yun had already done a rough calculation in his head and felt that their profits wouldn’t be that bad.
Although Wang Li had been doing business for a long time and her monthly turnover was not small, she was still shocked by the number that Xiao Yun said.
So she asked with uncertainty, “Will it really be that much?”
Xiao Yun nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, “This is only the initial turnover. In the future, it might be even higher than this.”
Although Xiao He had heard from Xiao Yun that the monthly net profit was about one hundred yuan that morning, he did not take it to heart at that time.
So when he heard Xiao Yun say this again in the evening, he was shocked. After all, his earnings was currently 1,500 yuan a month as a chef in the factory.
If Xiao Yun’s calculations were not too far off the mark, Xiao He would earn in a month almost as much as he had earned in ten years.
“Dad’s research and development in various foods may be a little slow in the early stages. But once we have developed the formula for the snacks, the workers can mass produce the rest accordingly,” said Xiao Yun.
Xiao He thought it wouldn’t be too difficult for him. “What’s the problem? Just leave it to me. It’s just seasoning. I can formulate the most suitable taste. Simple.”
“It’s not just one kind of food. We need hundreds and thousands of different kinds of food. Of course, we can produce a few kinds at the beginning, but we will be expanding the production line later.”
After hearing Xiao Yun say this, Xiao He’s head suddenly felt big. Indeed, if they wanted to develop in the long term, they needed to constantly innovate.
“Yes, what Xiao Yun said is indeed a good idea. I also told you about my relative this morning. Isn’t the company he works in a living example?” Lin Feiyang decided to chip in some support at this time.
“Dad, look, Uncle Lin and Aunty Wang Li have already approved of this idea. This is a good opportunity to make a lot of money. Do you want to be a chef for the rest of your life?” Xiao Yun tried to convince his father with reason and affection.
“But I have no experience in this kind of business. I don’t know anything,” said Xiao He with some worry still.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t you still have Sister Wang Li to help you? She has some experience. It will not be tiring if you two work together. I believe it will be easy,” said Lin Feiyang encouragingly.
Xiao Yun also said, “Yes, Dad, you not only have Uncle Lin to help you with your plans, but also has Aunty Wang Li to accompany you. This is a good thing.”
Wang Li nodded slightly after listening and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.
“Alright, alright. What does a kid know anyway? Don’ interrupt the adults anymore. Let’s talk about business,” said Xiao He when he saw how embarrassed Wang Li was.
Lin Feiyang laughed and said to Xiao Yun, “Look, look, your dad is shy.”
“Exactly. Sister, don’t be shy too. What’s the big deal?” Li Ping turned towards Wang Li as she spoke.
“Dad, just quit your job and focus on the formula,” said Xiao Yun.
Xiao He thought for a moment and made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said confidently, “Okay, I’ll quit my job tomorrow and devote myself to making myself better and stronger.”
“Dad, that’s more like it,” said Xiao Yun and gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Yun’s plan to lead everyone to become rich took another step forward.
In an instant, everyone’s enthusiasm was ignited. Xiao He even got up to take out a bottle of good wine and opened it before filling up everyone’s glasses.
Everyone raised their glasses.
“Then let’s toast to our future careers.”
“Cheers, let’s work hard together in the future.”
“Cheers.”
