reeing that what Xiao Jiu said made a lot of sense.Li Yuxiang's face grew increasingly unsightly.She unconsciously looked at Yang Lin's feet.Yang Lin had been busy all day, and the long-tube cloth sho...A point well made!

Yang Lin nodded. "Then, madam, what do you think should be done"

Li Yuxiang said, "That depends on the scale you want to develop to in the future"

If it's just minor conflicts, then these problems aren't serious at the moment. All that's needed is to establish rules and regulations promptly, along with reward and punishment measures, and many of the issues will be resolved.

But if you want to keep growing your business, then you can't keep doing things this way!

"Nowadays, almost a thousand people work for you, and the daily wages amount to over ten ounces of silver! But the only profitable businesses are the tofu workshop and the paper mill! Other industries not only make no profit but also consume a huge amount every day!"

I understand, for example, the importance of industries like construction, road building, coal mining, and smelting... But your business is too vast. Even with a huge fortune, it wouldn't be able to withstand such upheaval!

"Although it seems like we have tens of thousands of taels of silver, making us quite wealthy, if we keep going like this, these silver will be gone in no time!"

Yang Lin nodded.

Although Li Yuyao still couldn't see the future potential of these industries, she wasn't wrong.

You want to do everything and do everything well, which consumes a huge amount of manpower and financial resources.

Today, the tens of thousands of taels of silver in the warehouse are mostly from fortuitous circumstances. If we relied solely on the earnings from the tofu and paper mills, it would be impossible to support so many businesses.

Just like many internet industry's burning money models in the past, they relied on high investment and big spending upfront to accumulate users, gain market share, with winners take all and losers losing everything!

He's right, his current business is too big. There might not be another unexpected windfall of ten thousand taels of silver in the future. Relying on these two industries alone would definitely be insufficient to support his grand ambitions!

"I understand, I'll adjust accordingly when I turn around," Yang Lin said.

It's not difficult to adjust.

That means reducing investment in road construction, mining, smelting, and design institutes, and developing some profitable industries instead.

As for how to make money, it wasn't a difficult task for Yang Lin.

He hadn't touched soap, glass or the like, those big-selling items. It was because after making his first fortune, he no longer needed money and had no motivation to make more. Instead, he focused all his energy on basic research.

Li Yuyao nodded in satisfaction: "Also, your continuous expansion seems to have overlooked the issues of accommodation and food."

Yang Lin's heart skipped a beat again.

"Yeah!"

"This is indeed a big problem!"

Yang Lin sighed.

He has always been a hands-off manager and hasn't put much thought into running the business.

Only then, when pointed out by Li Yuyao, did he realize just how many problems there were!

I initially wanted to teach Li Yuyao a lesson, but in the end, I ended up exposing my own lack of experience.

"My lady, if you were to handle this, what would you do" Yang Lin asked.

Li Yuxiang said without hesitation, "If you still want to expand these industries, then build houses for them so they have a place to live, and build a communal kitchen to provide food."

Okay! I'll do as you say!

Yang Lin chuckled and said.

“Me” Li Yuxiang was taken aback.

"Yes, I've decided. From now on, I'll leave all these industries to you to manage. You're more suited for this than me!"

Yang Lin said sincerely.

Although I had done business in my previous life and learned a lot of business tricks.

He hasn't really cared about all this mess, after all.

He could manage all these industries and people with meticulous care, he's certainly capable of it. It's just too exhausting!

Li Yuyao was surprised, not expecting Yang Lin to make such a decision. "What about you" Li Yuyao asked.

As for me, I'm the one in charge of the big picture. I'll focus on coming up with fresh ideas to make sure our workshop products have a competitive edge.

"Great!"

Li Yuxiang gritted her teeth: "I'll definitely be able to take good care of it for you!"

Time flies like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye it's already two days later.

Early in the morning, with the sun just half-risen on the horizon and the coolness of the night still lingering, the villagers of the mountainside village had all gathered at the entrance, waiting for something, their expressions solemn and orderly.

The Yang family.

At the main gate, Big Sister, Second Sister, Little Seven, Little Eight, and Little Nine… several people were busily loading up their packed luggage onto the carriage.

Inside, Li Yuyao gave Yang Lin two letters.

This letter, it is the most important thing from your trip to Zhuzhou this time! Deliver it to one person! Remember, you must personally hand it to that person!

"And this one, you can read it when you get to Suizhou. I've written in here how you should act then and who you should give the letter to."

"These two letters must be kept safe, don't lose them. Before sending them out, make sure no one sees them!"

Having tucked the letter into Yang Lin's hand, Li Yuyao instructed him earnestly.

Yet Yang Lin seemed relaxed: "May I have a look"

"No! Absolutely not!" Li Yuyao said with a cold face and a serious expression, "This letter is very important, you absolutely cannot read it! The letter that was given to you must also be read only by Zhou. This is for your own good!"

"Okay."

Yang Lin shrugged and didn't seem to care.

"Is there anything else you need to say" Yang Lin asked.

Li Yuxiang thought for a moment, lightly bit her lip, and her face flushed red: "Be careful on your journey, take care of yourself, I... I'll wait for you to come back!"

At this moment, she even regretted her decision a little.

Although this decision is for his own good, although I prepared a big surprise for him, although all of this is for his rapid growth...

But, when it was time to say goodbye, the sadness in my heart welled up uncontrollably.

"Well, take care of yourself at home too. Making money isn't the most important thing, cherish your health, and don't overwork yourselves. Ziyi, Qingyi, take good care of your young mistress!"

Yang Lin instructed.

Li Yuxiang, however, said: "This time Ziyi will accompany you."

Ziyì nodded and immediately stood beside Yánglín.

Yang Lin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly and didn't refuse.

When you're out and about, having a skilled expert by your side can certainly bring peace of mind.

"Is there anything else you need to say If not, I'm leaving." Yang Lin spoke.

"My husband!"

At this moment, Second Sister Zhou Wan suddenly rushed over and urgently grabbed Yang Lin's arm.

What's wrong

"Can you take me with you" Zhou Wan looked expectantly at Yang Lin, "My home is in Suizhou. I originally didn't plan to have anything to do with my family anymore, but hearing that there was war in Suizhou, I still can't rest easy. I want to go back and see..."

After finishing her words, Zhou Wan lowered her head.

"OK, let's go."

Yang Lin readily agreed, pulling Zhou Wan's hand.

This time when he went out, he was very well-prepared. Bringing her along wasn't a bother either, and with his wife by his side, the journey wouldn't be lonely...ryone else will get 100 wen!"One only possesses the mechanical foundation and experience, as well as knowledge of more advanced water wheel principles and structures, but lacks a wealth of details.Don...
