After fiddling with the phone, it was almost time for dinner. Shi Yalin asked Li Yunqiu to prepare the food, and the three of them had dinner.
Adhering to the principle of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping, he didn't say anything during the meal.
Not long after finishing the meal, Lin Tiancheng got down to business. "Xiao Man, since you're back, I'll make arrangements for you tomorrow. Follow me into the company and start at the grassroots level. I'll let Wei Ze guide you. Wei Ze is very capable. You can learn a lot from him if you study hard. Study for a year or two and understand the company's operations. Then I'll make specific arrangements based on your abilities."
"Dad, I want to start my own business." After he finished speaking, Lin Xiaoman said very seriously.
"Huh?" Lin Tiancheng was obviously surprised.
"What are you talking about? You're just a kid, how can you start a business?" Shi Yalin immediately kicked Lin Xiaoman with her leg. Shi Yalin felt helpless. Well, what she said at noon was in vain.
"Starting a business? Are you sure?"
After the initial surprise, Lin Tiancheng asked seriously.
"Yes!" Lin Xiaoman nodded seriously. Her family's Shilin made tiles and porcelain on the side. It was a solid business, a steady and steady one. Although the profits were considerable, it was difficult to make a fortune, almost impossible.
Of course, she wants to create the greatest benefits in the shortest time, so she must choose the right industry.
"What area? Do you have a partner? Have you prepared a plan? Let me see it." Without discouraging her enthusiasm, Lin Tiancheng said in a very businesslike manner, "If your project plan can convince me that it is worth investing in, I can invest in you and let you start your own business."
"What are you talking about!" Shi Yalin muttered to Lin Tiancheng, "She is still young and doesn't understand. How can you let her do whatever she wants?"
"It's good to have such ambitions," Lin Tiancheng disagreed, "I support Xiaoman's entrepreneurship."
After nodding, Lin Tiancheng changed the subject, "However, starting a business depends on your own real strength. You can fully utilize your existing connections, but you can't cheat and deceive people in the name of the company. If you have the ability to attract investment, that's your ability, but I don't agree with you taking advantage of your current conditions to get various loans."
"Dad, so you agree that I can start a business?"
"I don't object, but whether to invest depends on whether you can convince me. Xiaoman, what do you plan to do?" Lin Tiancheng's meaning was very clear. He agreed, but he might not give money.
"The Internet industry, gaming." Lin Xiaoman said without thinking.
Games, mobile phones, and cosmetics, these three industries, Lin Xiaoman is very adept at them.
"Game agent?" Lin Tiancheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you met any friends in this field abroad? Can you get the agency rights? Is it reliable?"
"Not an agent, I want to be a game developer."
Lin Tiancheng frowned immediately after Lin Xiaoman said this. Shi Yalin jumped up angrily and grabbed her ear, "Are you stupid? Are you trying to imitate that brat Minglei?"
Lin Xiaoman quickly dodged and covered her ears with her hands, "Mom, calm down, listen to me!"
Shi Minglei, her second cousin and the son of her uncle, is four years older than her. After graduation, he opened a game company. However, at the end of this year, the game company went bankrupt, and he had no choice but to go back and inherit the family property.
A typical example of entrepreneurial failure.
But for Lin Xiaoman, there was a ready-made company that was about to go bankrupt right in front of him. How great was that? He just picked it up.
"Why are you calm? That brat Minglei lost more than 30 million and almost pissed off your uncle to death. And you actually want to follow his example!" Shi Yalin was furious.
"Alin, Xiaoman has her own ideas. Listen to her." Lin Tiancheng persuaded her and then continued to ask, "Why did you suddenly think of developing a game?"
"I created this with a few partners when I was studying abroad. We have a general direction and have already achieved some results. The game we designed is still very promising, and they will also provide funding."
Lin Xiaoman made up a few fictitious foreign partners for himself and talked nonsense seriously.
"Are there any joint venture partners?" Lin Tiancheng pondered for a few seconds. "If they really want to invest, then we can give it a try. But are you sure this isn't a trap to trick you into giving us money?"
"Dad, don't worry, I'm not stupid. I only invested in them after seeing they put up real money."
"Okay, then go ahead and give it a try. Young people should be bold and daring." In stark contrast to Shi Yalin, Lin Tiancheng encouraged her and added, "Xiaoman, organize the relevant information, the general framework, the progress, and so on, and make a detailed project plan for me. I'll have someone evaluate it. If there's commercial potential, we can increase our investment and strive for a larger share."
"I really lost to you two. Why did you make such a fuss when everything was fine?" Shi Yalin held her head helplessly.
"Mom, this is called expanding your business! Sticking to the old ways won't work."
"Xiao Man is right. If there's an opportunity, we should definitely enter a new industry. Don't worry, I'll be in charge, so there won't be any major problems. Ming Lei suffered such a huge loss because your brother and his wife spoiled him too much and let him do what he wanted."
"Yes, yes, you are both right. If you two think it's okay, then it's fine."
The topic of entrepreneurship passed by just like that, and then they talked a few more words. After Lin Xiaoman promised to give him the project book in a week, Lin Tiancheng went to the study to work.
Lin Xiaoman accompanied Shi Yalin to watch TV in the large screening room. After a while, Lin Xiaoman, who was thinking about the issue of start-up capital, spoke up, "Mother, would you like to invest some money to support your dear little baby?"
"I have no money, not a penny." Shi Yalin said angrily and didn't even look at her.
"No, mother, Empress Dowager, you are the best..." Lin Xiaoman began to act coquettishly, using her skills of crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide.
After a moment, Shi Yalin had no choice but to surrender. She was in great pain and had no choice but to use money to get rid of her. "Alright, alright, how much? Tell me the number."
"Just 10 million!" Lin Xiaoman's tone was particularly light.
"Why don't you ask for 100 million?" Shi Yalin exploded instantly.
"Even if I asked, you wouldn't."
"You...you must have been my enemy in your previous life, and you came to seek revenge on me in this life."
"Nonsense! He's clearly my benefactor, and I'm here to repay him in this lifetime. Mother, I promise that for every investment I make, I'll get a tenfold return."
"You're kidding! Is the prospect really that good? How could your dad not invest?"
"If we don't bring him along, it'll be just the two of us making money. I envy him so much."
"No, don't cheat me." Shi Yalin refused.
…
After much persuasion, Lin Xiaoman successfully negotiated an investment until bedtime. 10 million yuan was unrealistic, so Shi Yalin gave her 2 million yuan, and she had no choice but to give it to her even though she was throwing a tantrum.
2 million, that’s not enough.
Forget it, I’ll think about it tomorrow.
