Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Plan to Start a Factory_1 Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Plan to Start a Factory_1 “Contentment leads to happiness, I think our life as it is, is good enough! Once Nan Fei and Zhuanzhuan have grown up, we, as an old couple, can just sit back and enjoy life!”
“I am not old yet! This is the prime time for me to undertake a business.” As business improved, Jiang Dechun made more contacts at the food market. With a broadened horizon, he had the idea to start a food factory.
He also wanted to make a breakthrough.
Just like what Nan Fei said, he wanted her children to be the generation of rich kids, and her grandchildren, the third generation of affluence.
In this way, he, as a father, a grandfather, holds his head high with pride!
“Hold on… hear me out first.” Nan Fei timely interrupted Zhang Fengmei’s words, sternly criticizing: “Mom, I think Dad’s idea is very good, very good indeed. You should support him, instead of pouring cold water on his plans.”
“No! We don’t have that much money!” Zhang Fengmei worriedly expressed: “We’ve barely scraped together some money, it still has to be used for your and Zhuanzhuan’s education. It also has to be saved for going to university later. These are huge expenses. Those savings just won’t suffice.”
Seeing an opportunity, Jiang Dechun dropped his chopsticks, stopped eating dumplings, and argued strongly: “Exactly because we do not have enough money, we need to set up a factory to earn more. Otherwise, by just selling our own tofu products, we’d only be able to maintain our current lifestyle.”
“Clap clap clap…” Nan Fei started to clap cheerfully.
“Clap clap clap… clap clap…”
Zuanzuan also put down his chopsticks and joined in the applause. Jiang Yang, who had already eaten his fill, propped his cheek with one hand and looked on in bewilderment, not understanding why they suddenly started clapping in the middle of a meal.
“Dad, you spoke marvelously. I support you. Our whole family supports you. Please do not hesitate, go ahead with courage.”
“Okay! I will go to the town office first thing tomorrow, try to get a land permit, and then go to the Rural Credit Cooperative to apply for a micro loan.”
Nan Fei pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, “Dad, I can contribute twenty thousand yuan.” In fact, she had quite a bit of money, but pulling it all out at once would attract too much attention, plus, she still needed to prepare for Jiang Yang’s trip to the Imperial City.
Although it seemed like a lot of money, it wasn’t actually worth much in a place like the Imperial City.
“No way! We adults are doing business, how can we take money from a child like you? Rest assured, I’ve thought about the money matters…”
“Can’t I even invest in it? When you make money, you can give me dividends.”
“That works!” Jiang Dechun heartily responded: “I will definitely keep that in mind for you.”
“Then, let me also contribute twenty thousand each for Zhuanzhuan and Jiang Yang, it wouldn’t be fair if only I get a share in the profit.” Sixty thousand yuan was a reasonable figure she had calculated.
This would save her Dad of his immediate trouble, and what’s left would be enough to treat Jiang Yang’s illness.
Anyway, she went to school every day and didn’t need to spend money.
Only during the winter vacation she would take a trip to the provincial city, since Sister Chen helped her a lot with clothes and food. Constantly benefiting from others without repaying made her feel guilty and uncomfortable.
A surprised look crossed Zhuanzhuan’s eyes, and he slowly lowered his head.
“Sixty thousand? No, no way! That’s too much!”
“This is hard-earned money from your paintings. You should keep it for your later life, like a dowry.” Zhang Fengmei adamantly refused Nan Fei’s money.
“Worst case scenario, we won’t start the business anymore, but we still can’t take your money.”
“It’s not like that, Mom, Dad, hear me out.” Nan Fei raised her voice until both of them had a serious look, ready to listen, then she continued: “I told you, it’s just an investment! And it’s not just helping you, it’s also helping us. Think about it, who is Dad going to spend the money on when he makes it? Isn’t it all going to be spent on the three of us in the end?”
