"I can probably come up with 60,000."
Qin Nian thought for a moment about how much money she could withdraw from her own savings and the passbook her mother-in-law had given her.
"Sixty thousand, sixty thousand is not a small amount. Once this first batch of goods is shipped out, we will see a return on our investment."
Fan Juan frowned slightly.
"A big difference?"
Qin Nian could roughly guess what was going on from Fan Juan's expression.
"There is indeed a significant difference. I initially thought that our money was about the same, but after investing, I realized that the subsequent expenses were much greater than I expected."
She returned from two years abroad to find herself receiving a raise, but prices had also risen—something she hadn't considered. Such a mistake shouldn't have happened. However, if she had been too thorough, she might not have seen anything yet.
"Let me go back and discuss it."
Qin Nian thought for a moment and then spoke. Both of them were very busy, and they wouldn't have made a special trip to talk about it over the phone unless there were some things that weren't suitable to be discussed over the phone.
"Will you bring a team to the social gathering? We can then continue our discussion."
"OK."
Qin Nian nodded.
Qin Nian returned home, and Yang Yufen also happened to return home.
"Mom, have some water. There's something I want to discuss with you."
Qin Nian quickly poured a glass of water for Yang Yufen and took the things from Yang Yufen's hands.
"What's up?"
Yang Yufen drank the water in one gulp, sat down on the stool, and casually took out a fan to fan herself.
"Mom, Comrade Fan Juan and I started a factory, and now we need to expand production and need additional funds. I want to use all the money in the family."
Is it not enough?
Yang Yufen immediately realized the key point.
"The gap is quite large."
Qin Nian nodded.
“Gold prices have been quite high lately. Sell all that gold; it’s just sitting there anyway. Let’s see how much we still need, and Mom will figure something out for you.”
Yang Yufen thought of the fastest way to raise the money.
If she weren't in a hurry, Niannian definitely wouldn't have spoken to her like this.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Qin Nian was very embarrassed.
"Why are you apologizing again? It's for serious business, not for squandering money. I've given it to you, so it's yours. Even if you don't tell Mom and just take it, Mom won't say anything."
Yang Yufen slapped her leg with her fan.
"If you're not free tomorrow, Mom will take it and exchange it for cash for you."
"No need for Mom, you can exchange gold directly at the bank."
Qin Nian shook her head.
"That's fine, as long as it doesn't bother you. Have you eaten yet? These days, the kids eat in the cafeteria on weekdays."
"I've already eaten, Mom. I brought you food from the cafeteria."
"Okay, okay."
Yang Yufen happily accepted it and started eating.
After Yang Yufen finished eating, she fed the chickens again, collected the eggs, thought for a moment, said goodbye to Qin Nian, and went out with the eggs.
"Yufen, what have you been up to lately? It's been so long since I've seen you. Come and sit down. I bought a melon today, let me cut you a piece, it's quite sweet."
"All this busywork, how's business at the store lately?"
Yang Yufen put the eggs in the kitchen.
"It's always been good; we have many regular customers."
"That's good. I'm asking you to lend me some money first. See how much you can lend me so I can use it for now."
Yang Yufen spoke directly.
"Okay, it's perfect that no one's around right now. I'll close the door and we'll go inside to talk."
Gui Xiang quickly closed the door and turned on the light, so the room wasn't completely dark.
"Is something the matter? Business is good at our store. I'll keep some money for the purchases, and the rest will be on the books for you to use first."
