Chapter 738 Business War
“If I were to buy that house myself, I don’t know how many years I would have to work to afford it. We are where we are today entirely because of you. I didn’t help with having the baby, I didn’t help with buying the house, and I didn’t even put in any effort in the renovation. Compared to you, I suddenly feel quite useless.”
Lin Yuyao chuckled, "What are you thinking? You gave it to the country last time. The value you create is different from mine. The value I create belongs to my small family, while the value you create belongs to the extended family. It's all our family."
Fu Huaiyi was surprised, "How come you're so good with words?"
"I've always been good at talking."
She moved closer to him and said, "Even though you only make a few hundred yuan a month, you give it all to me."
"I wouldn't even look at those meager sums."
His income is actually not low, and he also receives various bonuses, which far exceed the average social wage.
However, for Lin Yuyao, that was indeed just a pittance.
Fu Huaiyi said, "If all else fails, I might as well quit my job. I feel like I can assemble a team to start a tech company, and I'm sure I'll make money."
Lin Yuyao: "Where did you and your team come from? To undermine the country? You'll see if Grandpa doesn't beat you up."
Fu Huaiyi: "..."
"Sigh!" he sighed, quite helplessly.
He used to think about serving his country, but his wife put a lot of pressure on him.
"Don't overthink it. I'm not looking down on you. It's easy for you to go out and earn money, and I believe you can make money. But if you all go out and earn money, what will become of the future of our family?"
That's a very true statement.
The major tech giants of the future were all founded in the 1990s.
Fu Huaiyi and his team had the technology, and then Lin Yuyao made the plans.
They can earn so much money in the future if they want to; it's unimaginable.
But life isn't all about making money.
"Don't forget why you chose this path in the first place."
Yes, why did we choose this path in the first place?
His family background allowed him to see far more than others.
If he wanted to make money, he would have gone home to inherit the family fortune long ago, even if he didn't start his own tech company.
What he wanted was never to make a lot of money, but to contribute his meager strength to save his impoverished family.
The immense pressure his wife had put on him had given him a glimmer of hope that he would make a lot of money.
After his wife comforted him, he finally remembered his original intention for entering the industry.
"Sigh! You're right, let's not think about these things anymore. So what if I'm a kept man? Others would love to be kept men, but they can't."
Lin Yuyao gave him a push, both amused and exasperated. "How can you call that a freeloader? Most of the money I made for that publishing house came from you."
He vividly remembered that the money his grandfather gave him played a crucial role.
If it's said to be for them, could it actually be for her?
That was given to his grandson by the old man.
"You're one of the original shareholders, and I haven't received any dividends from you yet."
If they weren't husband and wife, based on the initial startup fund he invested, she would have given him a large share of the profits every year.
Fu Huaiyi laughed and said, "It's all the same. Why make such a big difference between mine and yours? They're all ours."
"exactly."
……
Chen Bingzhi threw a stack of documents on Lin Yuyao's desk. "Damn it, after my men investigated, it really was Lao Niu who was behind it all. That article in the newspaper that was unfavorable to us was indeed written by Lao Niu. We'll give it to the newspaper to publish for free."
Chen Bingzhi was furious. "He's always trying to trip us up. This isn't the first time."
Lin Yuyao frowned as she thought, "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
They cannot allow others to attack them; they are on a passive defensive.
We need to take the initiative.
"Find a few people to keep an eye on Lao Niu. He's not a honest man. If we keep an eye on him, we'll eventually dig up some dirt on him."
"I think we should have someone write some dirt on him later."
Chen Bingzhi suddenly remembered something and added, "That company doesn't belong to Lao Niu alone. I heard that his superiors invested a lot of money."
Lin Yuyao: "Who exactly is his superior?"
"The guy from Beijing, his wife's family, seems to have quite a background. Putting that guy aside, a lot of people with connections have invested in their company. We might not be able to beat them."
Over the years, many people with some power but who are not satisfied with a fixed salary have been betting on various things through different channels, and they are all aware of this.
Lin Yuyao was speechless for a moment. After a while, she asked, "Even with your strong background, you can't win?"
Chen Bingzhi smiled and said, "Where would I get such a strong background? My family isn't even as well-off as yours."
Lin Yuyao waved her hand, "A new emperor brings a new court. It's alright while Grandpa is here, but in the future... our family doesn't have any background."
At this point, both of them were stunned.
Their ability to achieve what they have today in such a short time at such a young age is a topic of conversation among the older men over tea.
Their journey has been far too smooth.
Basically, they can do whatever they want and they will definitely succeed; no one will make things difficult for them at any stage.
As soon as they hear whose grandson or granddaughter-in-law this is, they immediately sign or stamp the documents as required.
If they want a venue, connections, or to organize a talent show, they can do it all.
Is that their skill?
It's really not.
If it weren't for their powerful connections, they would have to treat the leaders to a meal, fawn over them with drinks, and eagerly offer gifts.
A young girl like Lin Yuyao, who is quite attractive, might even be taken advantage of.
Even if you succeed in everything, people will still be envious of your profits and try to trip you up.
For example, would someone like Lao Niu secretly trip them up if it weren't for the people behind them?
They've probably been openly trying to trip me up for a while now.
Both of them had thought of these things.
Chen Bingzhi said, "We also need to find a way to attract some investors with connections."
Lin Yuyao nodded, "Let's get in touch with Jinghua first. We also need to dig up dirt on Lao Niu and release it selectively later. Ideally, it shouldn't harm their company's interests, but it should force the higher-ups to kick Lao Niu out."
Lin Yuyao thought for a moment and said, "You mean the people above his head are his wife's family?"
"Ah."
"The simplest way to get people to give up on him and kick him out is to catch him doing something to betray his wife."
Chen Bingzhi's eyes lit up, but after a moment, his expression dimmed again.
"No way, he's like a mouse in front of a cat in front of his wife. He wouldn't dare do anything to betray her even if you gave him ten lives."
"That's hard to say. You're a man, you understand," Lin Yuyao said meaningfully.
Chen Bingzhi stared at her warily. "Hey, you can't just say whatever you want. What do you mean by that? I'm a good man, how would I know that kind of man?"
"Haha, yes, yes, I was just joking. Why are you bringing this up yourself? Whether he has or not, we should send someone to keep an eye on him. What if we find something on him? If we catch him red-handed, we can crush him."
"That's true."
