Just as Li Xu guessed, no one in the Li family was willing to let outsiders hold shares.

At the same time, in the Li family's old house, Li Ping and his wife were also lying on the bed discussing how to make money.

Hu Guilan's eyes lit up as she said excitedly, "The eldest is in college, and the second and third will also enter Wuhan University next year. We don't need to worry about them. Xiaoxu is willing to help you. Just work for a few years and use the money you save to arrange for your daughter and the youngest. Then our mission will be successfully completed."

When Professor Ma from Wuhan University came to Tang County to pick up people, he gave Li Mei three letters of introduction, recommending three people to go to university.

However, there is an age limit for the recommended person, who must be at least sixteen years old, and the validity period of the letter of introduction is only three years.

After Li Wenbai was admitted to university, only three people in the Li family who could meet the conditions for use were Li Hongtao, Li Botao and Li Wenzhe.

So the letter of introduction can only be used by them.

After the Chinese New Year, Li Hongtao and Li Botao will be sixteen years old. As they are of the required age, they will naturally go to college.

Seeing her like this, Li Ping couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Why are you so excited? It's not certain whether the money you earned in the early stage can be spent."

The smile on Hu Guilan's face instantly disappeared, and she hurriedly asked, "What do you mean? Why can't I spend the money I earn?"

"Don't you see that Xiaoxu is going to make a big splash in the business world?"

Hu Guilan was a little confused. "I see, but this doesn't conflict with spending money, right?"

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Li Ping had to patiently explain, "If you want to expand your business, you must first have your own factory, and you must open a factory before others. Opening a factory is not something that can be done with just a few dollars, so I guess I have to save all the money I earn in the early stages to prepare for the factory opening."

Although Li Ping has never done business, he has experienced the era when individuals could start factories. In addition, when Li Xu was giving advice to the fertilizer factory where Li Mei worked a few years ago, he heard a lot of words like "one step ahead, every step ahead", "seize the market", and "you have what others don't". This gave him a rough guess about Li Xu's business plan.

"Hiss~" Hu Guilan took a breath, her eyes widened, and even her voice trembled, "Can our family open... open a factory?"

Hu Guilan had thought about what kind of business Li Xu would do, but she never dared to think about opening a factory.

It’s not just because factory leaders have administrative ranks these days, but also because the ultimate dream of most people nowadays is to work in a factory.

It can be said that the status of factories in people’s hearts is very high.

Now that she heard that her family might open a factory, Hu Guilan was of course excited, but also a little bit unbelievable.

"Why not?" Li Ping asked, "Xiao Xu said they want to cancel the bills, which means there will be a lot of goods. Although the government can expand production, it will have to hire workers. When there are too many goods to sell, how will the factory survive?

Therefore, I think the authorities will most likely relax restrictions on private factory openings, which will ensure sufficient supplies while avoiding financial problems for factories.

Hu Guilan thought about it carefully and found that what he said made sense.

Take the factories in Tang County for example. Except for the ones that opened later, the old factories have all encountered financial problems to varying degrees.

There is no way around it. Factories nowadays are responsible for the birth, aging, sickness and death of their workers, as well as paying their pensions and wages.

The money earned is only so much, but the expenses are increasing. After a long time, the factory will be unable to make ends meet and will find it difficult to continue.

Hu Guilan was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears. "If we really want to open a factory, we can arrange for my daughter and the elderly later. They are young, so it doesn't matter if we wait a few more years."

"My girls, don't worry. Since Xiaoxu dared to say that the children can just eat and wait for death in the future, it means he is confident."

Hu Guilan thought about it and felt that it was true. As long as Li Xu said it seriously, it had never failed to come true over the years.

She was about to speak when a question suddenly occurred to her mind, so she swallowed what she was about to say and asked instead, "Master, if Wen Ze and Shao Yuan plan to live a life of idleness and wait for death, can they still inherit the family business?"

This is a very realistic problem. As the old saying goes, it is easy to start a business but difficult to maintain it. If the heir is not capable, no matter how big the family business created by Li Xu is, it will probably be squandered in the end.

Li Xu led everyone to make money, so of course the heir must be chosen from his descendants.

However, his two sons have already expressed the idea of ​​lying down, and no one would be surprised even if they choose to live a life of idleness and wait for death in the future.

But the question is, how can a person who just eats and waits for death inherit the family business?

Who would feel at ease leaving the family business in the hands of such a person?

Li Ping did not answer, but asked, "Why, do you have any ideas?"

Hu Guilan knew he was asking if she had other ideas about the heir, so she let out a look of confusion. "Wenbo wants to follow his aunt's lead and do research. As for the rest of them, including Xiaochen and Xiaomei's children, who wouldn't just want to eat and wait for death? With a bunch of kids like that, what can I possibly think of them?"

"It's best if you don't have any ideas." Li Ping suddenly laughed. "Besides, there's still a long time to go. These two guys may not really just sit around and wait for death."

"That's good, it saves us from worrying. By the way, when the time comes to start the business, how much money do you plan to invest?"

"Keep 200 at home as a reserve, and invest the rest."

"Okay." Hu Guilan agreed.

After waiting for a while and seeing her continue speaking, Li Ping showed a surprised expression, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Hu Guilan didn't quite understand. "What do you mean?"
