At lunch time, they had two tables. Cheng Hui and her three sisters-in-law sat at one table with their children. Xie Songlin sat at another table as he had something to discuss with his brothers. Xie Wanxing was left next to Xie Songlin. Xie Lan and Xie Yuan also sat at this table. They listened quietly to the conversation of their elders, their eyes revealing their thoughts.
After eating for a while, Xie Songlin started to talk about business: "The main reason I came here today is to discuss things after the New Year with a few brothers."
Xie Songbai and the others put down their chopsticks and looked at Xie Songlin intently, waiting for him to continue.
"Old Master Zhao came to discuss with me earlier, wanting me to take over the cafeteria of Hanfeng Academy after the New Year. I agreed to this, and I plan to ask you brothers to help me with it."
"Opening a cafeteria at Hanfeng Academy?" Xie Songbai was a little stunned, then a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes, "This is great news."
"Good things are indeed good things, but there are also many troubles."
"Opening a shop in the academy is definitely something we can't do carelessly." Xie Songyang nodded. "Songlin, what are you planning to do now?"
"I'm planning to open a grocery store after the New Year, but we're really short on manpower, so I'm planning to redistribute the staff." Xie Songlin continued, "Let my second brother take full charge of the Frappuccino business. He's the most familiar with it, does a lot of deliveries, and knows a lot of people. The small cafeteria next door will be handed over to my eldest brother and his wife. Let them serve as training for now, as we'll open a larger cafeteria and restaurant in the future."
"Leave it all to us?" Xie Songbai said with some shame, "But we can only collect money. We are really not good at accounting."
"Don't worry, big brother. I plan to hire a few students from Hanfeng Academy to help you with your daily accounts at night. As for the monthly accounting, I will be there to oversee it." Xie Songlin said with a smile, "But big brother, you have to study hard too. You might become the head manager in the future. What will happen if you are not good at math?"
Xie Songbai nodded quickly: "Oh, that's good. Don't worry, Songlin, I will definitely study hard."
Xie Songlin turned his gaze to Xie Songmu again and smiled mysteriously: "Third brother, I have found a good place for you this time."
"A good place?" Xie Songmu was somewhat pleased, his voice tinged with anxiety and excitement. "Could it be that the blueprint you gave me earlier has led to some progress?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhao has found a few craftsmen for me. Third brother, you can pack your things tomorrow. Mr. Zhao will send someone to pick you up and take you to learn manufacturing with them."
"If I can learn something new to help you, that would be great. I'll pack up shortly!"
"As for my third sister-in-law, I want her to be in charge of the canteen. There are some helpers in the canteen originally. I plan to go and check them out in a couple of days. If they are needed, they will stay. If they are lazy and slack, they will be kicked out. I also want my eldest brother to help me select some people from the resumes registered by Lan'er and Yuan'er to help in the canteen. It would be best to choose some young couples. They will have to live in the canteen while working in the future."
"That's no problem. I'll help you start choosing later."
Xie Songlin grinned and said, "By the way, I plan to stop giving monthly allowances to you brothers from now on."
"It's okay. Brother, you shouldn't talk about money when you help me." Xie Songbai waved his hand.
Xie Songlin continued, "In the future, I plan to give you 20% of each shop's profits."
The three brothers were shocked by Xie Songlin's words. Xie Songbai was the first to react. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Songlin, this won't work. We already get a lot of money every month. This is already taking advantage of you."
Xie Songyang followed suit, "Yes, Songlin. This 20% is too much. We didn't do you any favors, so we really don't deserve it."
Xie Songmu also refused, saying, "Songlin, we appreciate your kindness, but this share is too much. We cannot accept it."
"Okay, don't rush to refuse. Listen to me." Xie Songlin waved his hand to calm them down. "I've thought this through carefully. Our business is growing, and I can't do it alone. You're all my brothers, and you've always helped me wholeheartedly. Giving you 20% of the profits isn't charity, but the reward you deserve."
He paused, seeing his brothers still looking hesitant, and continued, "We're a family. Only if everyone works hard can our family get better and better. Our future goals aren't just these small shops. We want to open large canteens and restaurants, and even expand our business to more distant places. This all requires the help of my brothers. Only by working together and striving hard can we accomplish all these things."
Xie Songmu said hesitantly: "Songlin, do you have such great ambitions..."
Xie Songbai and Xie Songyang were obviously shocked by Xie Songlin's words. They knew that Xie Songlin had made a lot of money now, but they didn't expect his ambitions to be so big.
Xie Songlin nodded solemnly: "We can't just be satisfied with the small achievements we have now. We must look further ahead. Now that we have these opportunities, we should seize them and work hard. Moreover, I believe that as long as we unite as one, there is nothing we can't accomplish."
Xie Songyang was also moved by Xie Songlin's words, and fighting spirit ignited in his eyes: "Songlin is right, we can't be complacent with the status quo. Since Songlin has such ambitions, we, as his brothers, should fully support him."
"So the share of these shops is nothing, so stop refusing."
After listening to Xie Songlin's words, Xie Songbai lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, then raised his head, his eyes flashing with emotion: "Songlin, you are right. We are a family, and we should work together to live a good life. Now that you have said so, it would be hypocritical for us to refuse. In the future, we will work harder and live up to your trust."
"We're a family, so let's not talk about that." Xie Songlin said with a smile, "From now on, 20% of the profits from Frappuccino will go to my second brother, and the profits from the Star Canteen will go to my eldest brother. As for the canteen in the academy, my third sister-in-law will be in charge from now on, and the profits will be divided between my third brother and his wife."
The three brothers listened to Xie Songlin's arrangements, feeling both moved and filled with a sense of responsibility. They knew the weight of this trust.
"Oh, and there's something else about the children." Xie Songlin glanced at Xie Lan and Xie Yuan. "They've both been studying for a few months now. Lan'er and Yuan'er are indeed talented, and they work hard. I plan to have Yunhan help them with their studies so they can take the entrance exam for Hanfeng Academy this spring."
When Xie Lan and Xie Yuan heard this, they felt both excited and nervous. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with longing and determination for the future.
Xie Lan straightened his chest and said firmly: "Don't worry, Dad, we will study hard and live up to your expectations." Xie Yuan also nodded vigorously.
"As for the remaining children, I feel they are not really suited to studying. I thought I should ask them what they want to do in the future so that I can arrange different teachers for them."
He knows very well that every child has his or her own unique talents and interests, and that they cannot all be expected to follow the path of studying.
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Xie Songbai said, "Songlin is right. It's already great that our family has two scholars. I know Yong'er isn't cut out for studying. I see he's very strong, so why not ask him if he's willing to go to a martial arts school and learn?"
"Okay, brothers, please ask them. However, you still need to learn the basics in the future."
