"Sister Yu Yin, what do you think I should do to accumulate some funds at this stage?"
How much working capital do you have?
Yu Yin knew that the early 1980s was a golden age for the retail industry, and people who set up stalls could make a fortune back then.
"Not much. My family members are all in the military, and there are so many younger relatives. I can't get much financial support."
Qian Weiguo was also troubled. He didn't want to use his family's resources to do something that would give him nothing, as Sister Yu Yin said, it wasn't a long-term solution.
“At this stage, the retail industry requires less capital and has a faster return on investment. However, it is risky. The roads are not safe now, and there are many highway robbers. If you want to do this business, you need to have someone skilled to keep watch on the vehicles.”
Yu Yin's knowledge was limited; she hadn't paid attention to this area back then, as there was a decades-long gap. Much of what she learned came from movies, TV shows, books, and stories told by elders.

"Alright, take your time to think it over. There's no rush. It's getting late, go and get some rest."
Yu Yin went upstairs first, Qian Weiguo got up and went back inside, and Lu Shurui closed the gate and went upstairs as well. In the courtyard, only the bright moon remained, tirelessly busy.
