Chapter 91 Earn Money and Marry a Wife
Seeing that a mixed doubles match was about to start, Lu Yiming quickly said , "Don't get excited. I didn't spend this money carelessly. I used it to open an Internet cafe. Mom, the Tongxin Internet Cafe you told Aunt about was opened by me. My cousin and Wangzai also invested in it."
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as Lu Yiming finished speaking, Ning Xuehua had already picked up the feather duster swiftly and greeted Lu Yiming.
"Ahhh...Mom, why did you hit me?"
Ning Xuehua was so angry. Yesterday, she and Luo Rujun scolded Tongxin Internet Cafe for half an hour. It turned out that this Internet Cafe was opened by her own son?
"Why don't you use that much money to open an Internet cafe? Do you know that it harms people? What do you want?"
Lu Yiming dodged and said as a matter of course: "Of course it's for money."
Ning Xuehua said with disdain: "How much money can you make from opening an Internet cafe? Can't you use this money to do some other decent business?"
Lu Yiming thought for a while and said, "It seems so. We had planned to open six Internet cafes before, and we had almost decided on the locations. Now there are only three in operation, and the monthly turnover is only over one million, which is indeed not very profitable. Since you said so, mom, I will close the Internet cafe and do something else."
Now he really does look down on the tiny profits from Internet cafes. With hundreds of millions of dollars in funds, and the advantage of foresight, he can make money faster by investing in anything than opening an Internet cafe.
Although running an Internet cafe is indeed profitable these days, it can no longer satisfy Lu Yiming's appetite. Internet cafes can continue to open and expand, but they are no longer the focus of Lu Yiming's work.
But when Ning Xuehua heard this, it didn't make sense. Even the feather duster she was holding high stopped instantly.
"You...are you serious? Over a million in monthly turnover?"
Is this making money?
This is clearly a money grab!
Ning Xuehua dropped the feather duster, helped Lu Yiming fill a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and said earnestly: "I just thought it over. There was something wrong with my thinking. Games are just a form of entertainment, just like some people like to play mahjong and some people like to play poker. Life is so tiring, it is necessary to relax occasionally. In my opinion, this Internet cafe should not only continue to operate, but also open a few more, so that everyone can experience the fun of the Internet."
Lu Yiming: “…”
Although Lu Ding didn't express it as blatantly as Ning Xuehua , he still felt relieved.
"It's getting late, hurry up and have breakfast. After breakfast I'll take you to study."
Lu Ding drove Lu Yiming to school, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak several times on the way.
As a father, he is the head of the family after all. But now he wants to borrow money from his son to save his business. It is really difficult for him to ask him.
Although he didn't say it, Lu Yiming, who was a second-generation human being, knew what Lu Ding wanted to say.
"Dad, just say whatever you want to say. There will be no problem with funding. I'll give you the money to play. But since you've decided to continue playing, I still have some requirements. Before I invest money in you, you have to clear out all the messy small shareholders in the factory first."
Nowadays, one of the important reasons why starting a business fails is the relatives who stick around like flies.
They keep saying "If one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit", and use all kinds of moral blackmail, demanding to get a position in the company, and it has to be a leadership position, otherwise they are not giving face to their relatives.
These guys have never experienced the hardships of starting a business, and they have not developed the professional qualities for their positions. Moreover, they don’t feel sorry for selling their parents’ land. It will only take a few minutes for the company to collapse, let alone develop.
In his previous life, the reason why Lu Ding’s mold factory went bankrupt and liquidated and owed a lot of debts was not only because he failed to transform in time, but also because these "relatives" made "great contributions" and "indispensable contributions".
Moreover, after the Lu family got into trouble and asked them for help, no one offered a helping hand. Instead, they stayed away from them like the plague.
Lu Yiming is not a saint, and he would not do such a stupid thing as repaying evil with kindness.
He spent money to support Lu Ding, and he wouldn't feel bad even if he lost it all, because Lu Ding was his biological father.
But he could not accept using this money to feed a bunch of ungrateful people.
After hearing Lu Yiming's request, Lu Ding's expression changed slightly.
He knew very well in his heart that the reason why the company had fallen into this state had a lot to do with those stupid relatives in the company who could not distinguish right from wrong.
But he is also a person who cares a lot about his reputation. He considered that if he fired all these people from the company, regardless of whether it would go smoothly or not, he would definitely offend all his relatives in his hometown.
He didn't want to strain relations between his relatives.
"I'll think about it."
Seeing Lu Ding so hesitant, Lu Yiming sighed and could only smile bitterly and said, "Then Dad, you have to think about it quickly. Young people of my age spend money lavishly and have no idea what to do. Maybe I will spend all the money tomorrow."
"Hey, are you threatening your dad?"
Lu Ding raised his eyebrows and glared, but then he lost his courage again. He knew that his son was stimulating him to make a decision as soon as possible.
Those so-called relatives in the company were greedy and stupid. Not to mention Lu Yiming, Lu Ding was also extremely disappointed in them.
Then the father and son walked along in silence.
Lu Yiming didn't think he had done anything wrong, nor did he feel that he was unkind.
Even if you decide to invest money to let Lu Ding continue to play, you should let him have more fun. There is no way he can be happy if he is fooled by a group of so-called relatives with ulterior motives all day long.
When Lu Yiming arrived at the school gate and just got off the car, he saw the familiar Benz and the beautiful figure getting out of it.
Lu Yiming waited until his future mother-in-law left before he secretly stepped forward to greet her: "Hi, beautiful lady, what a coincidence, we actually start school on the same day."
Shi Qingxue looked back and saw that it was Lu Yiming. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, then pursed her lips and glanced at him: "Huh, you're so talkative."
Lu Yiming naturally carried Shi Qingxue's bag on his shoulders, and the two walked side by side on the school's boulevard.
The air seemed to be filled with a sweet and fragrant smell.
Shi Qingxue asked, "I haven't heard from you in a few days. Where have you been hanging out again?"
Lu Yiming sighed and pretended to be deep and said: "A poor man like me doesn't have time to play around. I have to make money and marry a wife. Don't you agree?"
Shi Qingxue's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Why are you looking at me? I'm not your wife!"
Then, she couldn't help but blink her eyes and asked coquettishly, "Then... have you made enough money?"
