Today is Saturday, there are no classes in school, the weather is cold, and the final exams are next week. Yun Mo did not go out, but stayed in the house, warming herself by the fire and reviewing her homework. Ling Chunhua sat at the small desk next to her, practicing calligraphy.
"Xiaomo girl, your phone is on!"
Hearing Uncle Luo next door shouting, Yun Mo quickly got up and ran out of the house, "Here I come!"
When she arrived at Grandpa Luo's house, Yun Mo did not rush to answer the phone, but handed the box of snacks in her hand to Grandpa Luo.
"What good stuff have you come up with?"
Uncle Luo took the snacks without any hesitation and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
"It's snowflake crisps. I just made it last night. I wanted to bring it to you as a snack this afternoon."
"Okay, just go into the house and answer the phone, don't worry about me."
As soon as Yun Mo entered the house, Grandpa Luo immediately opened the snack box in his hand with curiosity. He saw a dozen matchbox-sized milky white pastries neatly stacked in the box, accompanied by a rich and tempting milky aroma, which made people's stomachs stir.
Uncle Luo took a piece of milky white snowflake crisp and took a bite. It was crispy, soft and full of fragrance.
In the room, Yun Mo was talking on the phone with Huang Zhiqiu.
"...We have already looked at the drawings you sent back. Your grandfather practiced making it yesterday afternoon. There is no problem. The finished product can meet the requirements of your drawings, but..."
Huang Zhiqiu sighed in embarrassment, "Momo, we estimated that if we want to deliver 10,000 rice dumplings on schedule, we will need to hire at least 40 workers."
Of course Yun Mo had already considered this and even had a plan.
"Mom, let's open a factory. This order is just the beginning. There will be more orders in the future."
“It’s not that easy to run a factory.”
"Mom, it's not difficult to set up a factory. Just find a good factory and get a business license. Don't worry about the funds. I'm here to help. I have two options. One is that I lend you money to set up the factory. You can pay me back after you deliver the goods and receive the payment next year.
In one, I provide the capital and I am the boss of the factory. You are responsible for operation and production, and I will give you some shares.
Mom, go back and discuss these two options with Grandpa and Uncle, and give me your answer tomorrow."
Huang Zhiqiu hesitated, "Momo, the funds needed to set up this factory are not a small amount, can you come up with it?"
"Mom, don't worry. We don't have much, but we can still come up with tens of millions. Ling Chuan has made four or five thousand from his business in the past two months."
"So many?!" Huang Zhiqiu was surprised and delighted, "My son-in-law is so capable?"
"Of course not. So don't worry about the money. You only need to do three things now. First, find a factory. Second, get a business license. Third, decide whether you want to run the factory yourself or let me run it."
After a pause, Yun Mo continued, "Mom, I actually hope that you can run this factory by yourself, or you and your uncle can run it together. As for grandpa, you can give him a position and dividends, but it's best not to participate in the shares. I don't want the factory you worked so hard to build to be taken advantage of by others in the end."
Huang Zhiqiu was a smart man and immediately understood his daughter's concerns.
The Huang family consists of not only her and Huang Jianjun, but also two brothers, Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianye.
If Huang Kailin has shares in the factory, after Huang Kailin dies in the future, these two brothers will definitely jump out to fight for the shares.
"Mom, if grandpa wants to recruit Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianye to join the company, you must not give in easily. You must make them pay real money. Don't acknowledge any IOUs or anything like that. Otherwise, it's better not to run this factory."
Huang Zhiqiu sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Momo, do you really dislike your second and third uncles so much?"
Yun Mo snorted, "I haven't forgotten what their attitude was when we came to discuss treating my grandmother's injuries. They can't even care about their own mother who gave birth to them. Such selfish people, even if you make money with them without holding grudges, they will not remember your kindness, but will secretly think about the money in your pocket.
Mom, don't think I'm worrying too much. There have been many cases of brothers turning against each other and killing each other for money and interests since ancient times. I don't want to cause unrest in the family."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Mom, you will know later how far-sighted my decision today was."
Huang Zhiqiu laughed, "I told you you were fat, but you're still panting."
"You'd better gain some weight. You're just too thin."
Yun Mo pinched the soft flesh on her waist and couldn't help complaining, "You don't know, Ling Chuan picks up the dishes I like to eat every day to cook, causing me to accidentally eat too much, and my waist has become thicker."
"You, don't be so ungrateful for what you have. OK, I'm going to hang up first. Will you be home tomorrow afternoon?"
"Here I am."
"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow afternoon."
"good."
—
As soon as Luo Xuelan stepped into the courtyard, she saw her uncle sitting at the stone table in the yard with his back to her, eating something with relish.
She handed the gift box to the nanny and walked over.
I don’t know if it was because he was old and hard of hearing, or because he was too focused on eating, but Uncle Luo didn’t notice until Luo Xuelan approached.
"Uncle, what are you eating?"
The sudden voice frightened Uncle Luo. When he turned around and saw that it was his niece, he immediately complained angrily.
"How come you walk without making any sound?"
"You are just too focused on eating."
Luo Xuelan pulled out a chair next to her and sat down, her eyes falling on the snack box on the stone table, "What is this?"
"You're in the food business, but you don't even know this?"
Luo Xuelan raised her eyebrows, reached out and took a piece of snowflake crisp, looked at it carefully, smelled it, and then took a small bite slowly and chewed it carefully.
After taking a bite of the snowflake crisp, Luo Xuelan changed her previous carelessness.
"Uncle, what is the name of this dessert?"
Mr. Luo deliberately kept the secret, "Guess."
Luo Xuelan put the remaining half of the snowflake crisp into her mouth, savored it carefully, swallowed it, and then opened her mouth to put forward her conditions.
"I heard from Xia'er that you had taken a fancy to a rosewood tea table. I'll have someone deliver it to you in a couple of days."
Grandpa Luo grinned, "This is called Snowflake Crisp, a snack made by Xiaomo herself. Look, she's in the room making a phone call."
Luo Xuelan turned her head and looked towards the living room, just in time to see Yun Mo coming out of the living room.
Seeing Luo Xuelan in the yard, Yun Mo paused slightly, then walked forward with a smile.
"Thank you, Madam."
Luo Xuelan nodded in response, "Well, sit down, let's chat for a while."
After the nanny brought the tea, Luo Xuelan asked Yun Mo about the origin of the snowflake crisps.
"Is this called Snowflake Crisp? The name is quite creative."
"It's called snowflake crisps because, firstly, it has a layer of milk powder and icing sugar on its surface, which makes it look like it's covered with snowflakes, and secondly, it's soft and crispy, just like thick snow."
Luo Xuelan picked up a piece of snowflake crisp and looked at it carefully, nodding in approval, "It's quite suitable for the occasion."
