The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Seeing that her family had almost digested the information, Lin Xi took out her notebook and pen, stood in front of the table, and solemnly said, "Family members, I now announce that our Lin family's first financial meeting is officially starting!"

From this day forward, we will once again rise to the pinnacle of the Lin family!

What financial conference? What summit? This kid, he's eaten too much, he's probably stuffed himself!

"What you're eating today is called Mala Tang. You've tried it, what do you think? Dad, do you think it's good?"

Lin Dayuan was taken aback when his name was called, and then said, "It's delicious. Once you take a bite, you can't stop eating it."

"Grandma, what do you say?"

"Of course it's delicious, especially the soup, it's really good."

"Where's grandpa?"

Lin Guojun smacked his lips: "Not bad, if I wasn't already full, I could still eat more."

"Okay, although there aren't many people in our family, there are old and young, some who like spicy food and some who don't. Everyone raves about this mala tang. Do you think other people will like to eat it?"

Several people nodded in unison.

"So, how about we sell mala tang (spicy hot pot)?"

The group of people were all stunned.

Lin Xi opened her notebook, took out a pen, and wrote as she spoke: "Today, I spent 6 yuan on dried chili peppers, and 10 yuan on beef bones... and we ate nearly ten bowls in total."

There are still two-thirds of the stir-fried chili peppers left, so the cost of one bowl is about 50 cents to one dollar. Even if we only sell it for two dollars, we can still make at least one dollar per bowl.

“I think we can start by testing it at the market entrance, selling a bowl for two yuan. Once we gain popularity, we can rent a shop and sell it for three yuan, and then gradually increase the price…”

……

Lin Xi rattled off a string of words, leaving the others completely bewildered and incredulous, their minds filled with the thought: "I can earn at least one yuan per bowl!"

So, family members, what do you think?

They...they're about to start doing business?

"Xiao Xi, we've never done business before, this... will this work?"

“Absolutely! It’ll only make money, not lose money. Dad, your monthly salary is 1,000 yuan, which is only a little over 33 yuan a day. That’s just over 30 bowls of spicy hot pot. There are so many people at the market, do you think it’s difficult to sell over 30 bowls?”

Lin Dayuan shook his head. Selling a hundred bowls was possible. Thinking about it, earning a hundred a day? Wouldn't that be three thousand a month?

Seeing that her father had figured out the costs himself, Lin Xi looked at her grandmother and said, "Grandma, you can see that none of the things I bought today were expensive."

Aside from the high-quality chili peppers, everything else was just ordinary ingredients. Do you think the cost is high?

Lin Guiying shook her head; she never expected that food made from these ordinary ingredients would taste so good.

"Grandpa, do you think our spicy hot pot won't sell?"

Lin Guojun also shook his head. It smelled amazing; once you've tasted it, you can't forget it.

"Hey everyone, let's not hesitate, let's do it!"

Lin Xi's last words echoed in everyone's ears.

Let's just do it! Let's just do it! Let's just do it!

Since that's the case, let's do it!

Lin Guiying raised her hand in agreement first, then Lin Guojun, and then Lin Dayuan.

Lin Xi nodded in satisfaction. "Dad, you can take a leave of absence first. Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year. You can resign after the business is on track."

Lin Dayuan nodded; that was what he thought too. If things didn't work out, he could always go back and drive.

"I'll use the money I have, eight thousand yuan, that should be enough for the early stages."

The group quickly tried to refuse, but Lin Xi said, "We're family, we share the good times and the bad, it doesn't matter who takes the money. But this is a bonus for me, it's like I got it for free, it's like we're starting a business with zero cost."

Your money is hard-earned; you must use it wisely.

“Okay, but if I make money in the future, I have to pay you back,” Lin Dayuan said firmly.

"Okay, I'll consider myself a shareholder."

Then the group started calculating what they needed to prepare and how much money they would need...

"Oh? We need to buy a tricycle too?"

"Of course, with so many things, a stroller won't work, and it would be a waste of time."

After arguing for a while, Lin Xi said that the car could be used for a lifetime. Her father could use it to buy goods, and even if it was no longer needed, her grandfather could drive it to collect garbage. Only then did everyone agree.

……

The Lin family's first financial meeting went on until 11 p.m., but no one felt tired; everyone was full of anticipation for the future.

midnight.

Lin Guojun, tossing and turning in bed, asked, "Ying, do you really think it's possible to make money?"

"Alright, how many times have you asked? You won't know if it's profitable until you actually do it. Go to sleep!"

Lin Dayuan lay on the bed muttering to himself, "After eating a meal, I almost quit my job. Was that too hasty?"

Meanwhile, Lin Xi was still struggling to complete the system tasks.

……

The next day, the group got out of bed with dark circles under their eyes, but they all looked radiant.

Lin Dayuan went to the factory to ask the boss for leave, while Lin Guojun went directly to the city to look at cars. The two met in the city, and after buying the cars, they went together to buy tools for setting up a stall.

Lin Guiying took a large basket to the market to buy goods, while Lin Xi went for a run. The two met at the market entrance to check out the best spot to set up their stall.

Before leaving, Lin Xi put eight thousand yuan in a box and told everyone that anything related to business must be obtained from here, and that they must keep accounts so that they would know the cost.

After breakfast, everyone dispersed, and this day became the Lin family's last relaxing day. Afterwards, they would face an incredibly busy life.

At this moment, Lin Dayuan, with three thousand yuan in his pocket, was furtively looking around the car dealership.

He didn't want to take so much money, but his granddaughter insisted that he take it, and even wanted him to take five thousand, which scared him so much that he almost jumped up.

He was trembling with fear as he handled those three thousand yuan; if he lost it, his old life wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.

A young boy, seeing the old man secretly watching for a long time and still looking somewhat bewildered, couldn't help but think of his own father.

His father was a genuine farmer, and he always had this expression when he went to the mall.

"Sir, are you looking to buy a car?"

Lin Guojun saw a staff member walking towards him and nodded awkwardly.

"What kind of car are you looking to buy? Let me introduce it to you."

Lin Guojun remained silent for a while, then the boy said again, "Don't worry, after I've finished introducing it, if you feel it's not suitable, you can go to another store to look at."

"I'd like to see a tricycle."

"Okay, sir, please come with me. This is our best-selling item, and the price is right. It's 1200 yuan, and we'll even give it to you for free..."

The boy introduced the price range from 1,200 to 2,800, and Lin Guojun was dazzled by the prices. The 2,800 one was expensive, but it looked really good, with a large and spacious cargo bed and a sturdy body.

Actually, there were even more expensive cars, but the boy didn't mention them. He could tell that the old man wasn't very wealthy; three thousand was probably the limit.

Besides, it's just a tricycle, and around two thousand yuan is enough for its performance.

“I have to wait for my son to come over; he can make the decision.”

"Okay, then you can wait here. Come find me if you need anything."

The boy wasn't angry or impatient. He hadn't planned to sell it anyway; he just missed his father, whom he felt had a fatherly quality about him.
