MMB Chapter 162 Money Making Plan
Chapter 162 Money Making Plan
Lin Kai turned to look at Gao Ya beside him. Although she did not say a word, her clear eyes shone with unwavering trust and a determination to go all in.
At that moment, Lin Kai's heart was deeply touched.
If, even after reaching this point, he still doesn't dare to be ruthless enough to take a gamble, then he would be utterly betraying Gao Ya's deep affection.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and his eyes became more determined than ever before: "Okay! Dad, give me two years, and I will prove to you that I'm not just a good-for-nothing who can only sponge off his parents!"
"Wow, that's got guts!" Lin Jinfu on the other end of the phone wasn't angry at all; instead, he seemed quite pleased.
But Lin's mother, Lin Na, and Yun Duo were extremely anxious. Like a mother hen with her feathers standing on end, they all spoke up to dissuade Lin Kai, trying to get him to take back his arrogant words.
However, no matter how much they tried to persuade him with their emotions and reason, they could not shake Lin Jinfu's decision.
Lin Jinfu issued his final ultimatum over the phone: "Xiao Kai, hand over your bank cards, car keys, and all the cash you have to your sister. Then have her open a new account for you, and I'll personally have someone deposit 500,000 yuan as start-up capital. For the next two years, I won't interfere with what you and Lu Yuan do. Except for not asking your family for money, whether you ask friends for help or try to persuade my old friends to invest in you, it's all up to your own abilities. As long as you can earn 10 million yuan in two years, I will absolutely not interfere with what you want to do or who you want to marry."
After a pause, Lin Jinfu added coldly, "Of course, if you feel you can't continue during this period, you can quit at any time, get back home immediately, and obediently follow your family's arrangements."
Having said that, no matter how unwilling Lin Na and the others were, they dared not say another word.
After all, Lin Jinfu held an absolute authority position in their circle.
Soon, Lin Kai handed over his car keys, bank cards, and all the cash he had on him to Lin Na.
Aside from his ID card, mobile phone, and a few changes of clothes, he left himself almost no way out.
This also means that from this moment on, he completely shed the aura of being the young master of the Lin family and became an ordinary entrepreneur with only 500,000 yuan in cold, hard cash.
Whether he can adapt to this change in circumstances is anyone's guess.
After the negotiations ended, Linna and Yunduo prepared to leave, feeling unwilling.
Before leaving, Lin Na, as an older sister, gave Lin Kai a series of instructions, ostensibly to remind him of the dangers of the outside world, but essentially to tell him to quit while he was ahead and turn back as soon as possible. She also made veiled remarks about Lu Yuan and the others.
After giving Lin Kai her instructions, Lin Na turned to Lu Yuan and stared at him intently, warning him in an unfriendly tone, "I still remember that slap you gave me! No one has ever dared to treat me like that before. You'd better watch out, I'll settle this score with you slowly."
Lu Yuan, however, didn't care at all. A half-smile played on his lips as he slowly retorted, "You're almost thirty, an old auntie. Do you really want to argue with a kid who's not even twenty yet?"
"Old auntie!!" Linna was furious, as if she'd been stepped on, her anger blazing. She clenched her fists tightly, practically spitting fire. "How dare you call me old auntie?! You ill-mannered brat!"
"You're almost as old as my mom, so it's not too much for me to call you 'Auntie,' is it?"
After saying this, Lu Yuan ignored Lin Na's roar and turned to leave.
……
After leaving the restaurant, the group moved to a quiet tea room and began discussing their ambitious plan to turn 500,000 into 10 million within two years.
As soon as she sat down, Gao Ya couldn't help but ask, "Lu Yuan, were you serious about what you just said?"
Let alone her, any rational person would think this bet is simply a fantasy.
Turning 500,000 into 10 million is theoretically not impossible, but for ordinary people like them with no background, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Lin Kai can no longer get help from the Lin family, and his situation is no different from Lu Yuan's and the others.
"What's wrong, Sister Ya? Don't you have confidence in us?" Lu Yuan's expression was calm, showing no sign of pressure.
"This isn't a matter of confidence; it's about being realistic." Gao Ya sighed. "Ten million—do you know how much money that is?"
"To be honest, my understanding of ten million is a bit vague," Lu Yuan said with a frank smile.
In his previous life, when he managed his money, he used electronic payments and rarely handled large amounts of cash. If someone were to ask him how tall a stack of ten million in cash would be, he probably wouldn't be able to answer.
Seeing Lu Yuan's relaxed demeanor, Lin Kai and Gao Ya both seemed somewhat disappointed, and even Gao Zhe, who had always unconditionally trusted Lu Yuan, remained silent.
Seeing everyone's dejected expressions, Lu Yuan stopped smiling and asked seriously, "Sister Ya, Lin Kai, do you two really want to be together?"
"Of course I want to!" Lin Kai blurted out impatiently.
Although Gao Ya did not speak, her slightly moved expression revealed her inner desire.
"If you're so determined, why not give it a shot?" Lu Yuan coaxed patiently.
"How do you spell it?" Lin Kai asked.
"To be honest, I do have a way to make a lot of money. I want to do it, but I've always lacked enough start-up capital. Now you happen to have this 500,000 yuan, which you can definitely use to do this." Lu Yuan looked at them intently.
"You mean... you want to use my money to do business?" The crowd was skeptical.
"That's right." Lu Yuan nodded. "You can partner with me directly, or you can simply be an investor. But I hope you choose the former and get involved personally."
Lin Kai fell into deep thought, and after a moment asked, "Tell me first, what kind of business are you in?"
"clothing."
"Clothing?" Everyone was taken aback.
"Lu Yuan, I know your family owns a garment factory, and you recently signed a large order with a foreign company. But with just your family's factory, it's simply impossible to turn 500,000 into 10 million within two years."
Although Lin Kai didn't understand business, he came from high society and was aware of the profit margins of traditional garment factories. Even if the Lu family's garment factory was undergoing a transformation, it was wishful thinking for him to invest 500,000 yuan at this time and earn 10 million yuan in dividends within two years.
"Who said I was going to use my family's garment factory to do this business?" Lu Yuan retorted.
"What do you mean?" Everyone was completely confused.
Lu Yuan picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, and then began to explain: "The garment factory belongs to my father, and it may become mine in the future, but I will never just wait to inherit the family business. I want to establish a clothing company that is entirely my own. Once this company is established and has brand influence, I will consider merging it with the family garment factory. The garment factory will be responsible for the back-end production, and my company will be responsible for the front-end sales."
"Why make it so complicated?" Everyone was still puzzled.
"There are three reasons," Lu Yuan said, holding up three fingers and explaining clearly:
"First, Lu's Garment Factory has just partnered with Thomas Enterprises and is currently in a long upgrade period. Rather than passively waiting, it's better to pursue two parallel approaches, seize the opportunities in the apparel industry, and quickly accumulate capital."
"Secondly, starting in 2008, the domestic online shopping industry experienced explosive growth, especially in the clothing online shopping sector, where transaction volume increased exponentially. I plan to create a brand that operates through both physical stores and online stores. The huge order demand in the early stages was simply too much for our Lujia Garment Factory to handle, so we needed to source large quantities of goods from major clothing wholesale markets such as Wucheng and Yangcheng, operating with a light asset model."
"Third, and most importantly," Lu Yuan's eyes revealed ambition, "I want to start from scratch and build my own brand. That sense of accomplishment is what I crave."
