Chapter 248: Dividends for Ms. Tong: Happy cooperation...
Chapter 248
Lin Mujin brought her cousin Lin, cousin Lin, and Lin Muli to Lawyer Li's office.
Lawyer Li has prepared the contract and distributed it to everyone.
Lin Mujin said, "I promised to give you Jinshi shares, and I'm keeping my promise. Please read the contract carefully. If you have any questions, ask Lawyer Li."
Cousin Lin pulled her aside and whispered, "Didn't we agree on three years from now?"
Lin Mujin spoke frankly, "Sister, you already have a boyfriend, right? If things go well, you'll get married. If you sign this now, it'll be your pre-marital property."
Cousin Lin understood. The prince was getting married soon. "I understand. The fine food can't be given to outsiders. What about Ms. Tong?"
Lin Mujin said, "I'll have Lawyer Li sign a new contract. As long as she works at Jinshi, she'll naturally receive dividends from her shares. Once she leaves, they'll be gone."
Cousin Lin nodded, "That's good."
Soon the three of them signed the contract. Lin Mujin said goodbye to Lawyer Li and left with two copies of the contract. Oh, and Emma too.
A group of people went to a real estate sales office.
"Sister, what are you doing here?" asked cousin Lin.
Cousin Lin also agreed, "It's mysterious."
Lin Muli also came over to hear her answer.
Lin Mujin said, "I'll buy you a house. You can choose the floor yourself."
Cousin Lin said, "No need. Xiuying and I have found a house we'd like to buy together. We can borrow some money to cover the shortfall."
Cousin Lin also said, "I live in a big villa, why should I buy a house?"
Lin Muli also didn't care about the house.
Lin Mujin said, "Brother, you and Sister Xiuying should buy a house if you want. You can use it as an investment and then rent it out to pay off the mortgage. It doesn't conflict with what I'm buying. Choose quickly. I have to go to Jinshi soon."
Lin Muli was the most obedient. "I like tall buildings. The highest floor in this building is the tenth, so I'll take the ninth floor."
Cousin Lin didn't like it, "Why does it have to be so high?"
Lin Muli said, "The sunlight won't be blocked at high altitudes."
Cousin Lin muttered, "That's right."
So the last three people wanted the east units on the seventh, eighth and ninth floors.
Lin Mujin bargained directly, "I'm paying in full for three sets, and I'm asking your manager for the lowest discount. Whether you can sign this order today depends on whether the discount is generous enough."
The manager came out quickly and gave us a 12% discount after bargaining.
Lin Mujin thought it was acceptable, so she asked Emma to help fix the contract while she swiped the card.
Afterwards, I went to other sales offices and bought three adjacent two-story shops.
Lin Muli teased, "Sister, you're bleeding heavily today!"
Lin Mujin said, "With these two properties, you will be able to do whatever you want to do more easily in the future."
Cousin Lin said solemnly, "Sister, thank you."
Lin Mujin waved her hand. "We're all family, why thank me? I'm just making plans for my future. There's no such thing as a guaranteed profit in business. If I ever go bankrupt, I might have to rely on you to help me out."
Lin Muli immediately patted his chest and promised, "I will take care of you when the time comes."
Cousin Lin snorted, "I don't need you. With Jinshi here, your sister will have a life of luxury."
Lin Mujin laughed out loud, "Yes, that's right!"

When they arrived at Jinshi, Lin Mujin and Ms. Tong went to the semi-private room in the corner.
"Sister Tong, have you ever thought about bringing your child to Hong Kong to study?" Lin Mujin asked.
Ms. Tong was very surprised. "Is it possible?"
Lin Mujin nodded. "I've inquired about this. People like you who have a work visa can bring their children over to study. You know Weng Nuan, too. She wants to bring her children over too. You can then find a nanny together to take care of the three children. I just don't know if your ex-husband would agree."
Ms. Tong and Weng Nuan are both high-paid employees now, so it is not a burden at all for them to work together to find a nanny.
Ms. Tong gritted her teeth. "How dare he refuse? What good would it do for the children to study in Hong Kong? Besides, the last time I spoke to them on the phone, they told me that Daddy was too busy to even have dinner with them. He must be doing nothing again."
Lin Mujin quickly tried to appease him, "Then give him a call and test his nerves. Tell him that this is a rare opportunity and see what his attitude is."
Ms. Tong accepted the lesson and said, "I understand."
Lin Mujin added, "If he refuses to agree, we'll try another approach. Don't ever agree to pay. Don't open this door."
Ms. Tong nodded heavily, "I know."
Lin Mujin took out the contract again and said, "Take a look."
Ms. Tong took it and looked at it. "What is this?"
Lin Mujin said, "This is a stock dividend contract. From now on, you will receive 10% of Jinshi's net income as dividends every year."
Ms. Tong felt as if her hand was burning. "This...this is too much. I can't accept it. The bonus you gave me is more than enough. I didn't make as much as I do now when I opened my own restaurant before."
Lin Mujin smiled and said, "You won't get any bonuses from now on. You'll only get basic salary and dividends."
Ms. Tong still waved her hands, "Too much, too much."
Lin Mujin said sincerely, "This is what you deserve. The prosperity of Jinshi is inseparable from your delicious soup. I know someone has contacted you, right?"
Ms. Tong assured, "I won't go with anyone else. I've rejected them all."
Lin Mujin quickly said, "I know. I'm just talking about your importance, and I sincerely hope you can accept this contract."
Seeing that her attitude had softened, she continued, "I still want to ask you for something."
Ms. Tong said seriously, "Boss Lin, please speak."
Lin Mujin said, "When you get older, I hope you can find a successor so that Jinshi won't be without a chef. You can choose this person yourself, even your son."
Ms. Tong understands that the biggest fear for restaurant owners is changing chefs and causing the food to taste bad.
If it gets better, that's fine, but if it gets worse, old customers will be lost.
He promised, "In a few years I will take on an apprentice."
Secretly, she still wanted to teach her own son.
Lin Mujin didn't ask any further questions. She just agreed and said, "Sister Tong, please take a look at the contract. If you have any questions, just ask me."
Ms. Tong read it carefully and said, "No problem, I understand everything. I'll sign it."
Lin Mujin saw that she had signed the contract and gave each of them a copy. "Be sure to keep it safe."
Ms. Tong's hands were shaking as she held the contract because she knew how much money it represented.
"Sister Tong, please keep the contract confidential. Don't tell anyone else in the kitchen. People's minds are unpredictable, and I can't treat everyone equally."
Ms. Tong understood, "I won't tell anyone."
He looked down at the contract again, "What about this contract?"
Lin Mujin thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you leave it to me? I'll send it to Tanglou for you in the evening."
Ms. Tong handed over the contract without any hesitation.
Lin Mujin took the contract, stood up, and extended her hand. "Sister Tong, I hope we can make Jinshi a century-old brand."
The two men clasped hands, foreshadowing the century-long close cooperation between Jinshi and Tongshi Soup.
