Chapter 1331: Side Story: Having the Whole World in View (8)Editor: Atlas Studios
Surprised that Mu Yangling agreed so readily, Qi Haoran froze for a moment before immediately reacting. He turned around, stared at his wife, and asked, "Ah Ling, how much money does our family have exactly?"
"There's definitely not much silver now, but including all our family assets, there should be five to six million taels."
Qi Haoran's mouth fell open. He didn't expect himself to be so rich. As he clutched his chest, he asked, "Where did our family get so much money?"
"Of course it's earned. Since the annual profit from the sea trade is no less than 200,000 taels, consider how many years our family has been in the sea trade business. In addition to the two factories and the Harvest Grain Stores, the reason why we only managed to save up this sum is because you and the children spend a lot. In addition to the money used for charitable purposes every year..." Mu Yangling counted with her fingers and realized that their expenditures exceeded their savings over the years.
Qi Haoran was stunned. It turned out that he could have been so rich in the past, but he had spent all that money...
Very generous to the children, Mu Yangling gave them a million taels of silver just like that.
The children drooled as they looked at the token their mother handed them.
With a smile, Mu Yangling said, "The five of you are given 200,000 taels of silver each. You can manage the sum yourself. Whether you make a loss or a profit depends on your own ability."
Since they were investing one million taels into the sea trade business, plus they weren't relying on the Zhou family or Fan Zijin to manage it for them, they had to do everything themselves.
Little Lion said, "Let's go look for Brother Little An and Little Fu. Since they'll definitely invest in the business too, we'll have more than a million taels."
Little Bear wiped his saliva and looked away with difficulty. "I'll leave my money to you guys to manage. I still have many things to deal with in the army."
The remaining three brothers looked at each other and felt that they had to discuss it with Little An and Little Fu.
When Fan Zijin heard that Mu Yangling had given each child 200,000 taels of silver, he waved his hand and gave Little An and Little Fu 200,000 taels of silver each, too. He said, "Don't incur too big a loss. Otherwise, the next time you ask for money from me, it'd be a loan."
The two boys agreed happily and ran to King Rong's Residence to discuss business with Tiger Head and the others.
Knowing that Little Bear wouldn't participate in the management, Little An immediately raised his hand and said, "I also have to prepare for the Spring Quarter Examinations and enter officialdom. I don't have time to manage the business, too."
On the other hand, Tiger Head and Little Lion said excitedly, "We're free..."
Little An doused their enthusiasm. "Aren't you entering the army to train?"
The two of them immediately said that they wouldn't have any problem controlling the business remotely.
"But account management is very cumbersome. Are you sure you can handle it?" It wasn't that Little An didn't believe them, but their ability in this aspect really didn't inspire trust.
Little Leopard immediately raised his hand and said, "I have a way." Seeing that everyone was looking over, he said seriously, "Let Mother help us manage it."
"Mother won't covet our money, and she also won't interfere in anything we do."
Where could they find such a good accountant?
The children had suggested doing it by themselves because they had a bunch of ideas. If they let the adults participate, the plan would definitely be changed beyond recognition. However, it was different if they let Mu Yangling manage it. As long as it was agreed upon in advance, their mother would only manage the accounts and not ask about anything else.
Thinking of Fourth Aunt's personality, Little An asked, "Are you sure Fourth Aunt is willing to help us manage the accounts?"
Little Leopard said righteously, "Aren't we still young? As our mother, of course she has to support us. When we grow up, we won't need her help."
"Then how long will Fourth Aunt have to manage it?" Little An said with creased brows, "We have to discuss all of this in advance. Otherwise, Fourth Uncle will probably get mad."
Little Leopard tilted his head and asked, "Five years? By then, I'd be exactly ten years old and will be able to manage the accounts myself."
Little An was doubtful. "You can manage the accounts yourself?"
Before Little Leopard could answer, Little Fu had already answered on his behalf, "Unless he's possessed by Zu If you find any errors ( Ads popup, ads redirect, broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know < report > so we can fix it as soon as possible.
