Chapter 31

"Slap~"

Li Ye slapped Li Dayong on the forehead.

"Did you do the problems I gave you today?"

"Did you write the three essays I assigned you last night?"

"Have you memorized the English words I told you to memorize?"

"If you want to follow them to break into the provincial capital, do you want me to take the college entrance exam for you next year?"

A barrage of questions sprayed Li Dayong until he was almost autistic.

In the past, Li Dayong's grades were better than Li Ye's, but he never showed off his good grades in front of Li Ye, always being careful not to stimulate Li Ye's self-esteem.

But now the tables had turned. Li Ye didn't know what kind of evil he had encountered; suddenly his grades improved greatly, and he would catch Li Dayong and "stuff" him with problems like a duck.

If he still didn't understand a problem after it was explained twice, that look of disdain could make Li Dayong die of shame.

After the shame, Li Dayong accepted it gladly; his grades were so bad, his brother was genuinely helping him.

But now that everyone was getting together to make money, and they had even taken his bicycle to carry goods, yet kept it from him and didn't take him along to play, Li Dayong was uncomfortable, no matter how broad-minded he was.

After spraying Li Dayong's face with spit, Li Ye said hatefully: "Didn't I borrow your bicycle? How did I not take you along? Your bicycle counts as a share, and there will be no shortage of your dividend when the time comes."

Li Dayong was shocked and hurriedly said: "Brother, I'm not after money, I'm not asking you for money, I..."

It was true that Li Ye had taken his bicycle to transport goods, but he had exchanged it with a 26-inch Phoenix. If he were to split the money based on this reason now, wouldn't that be slapping his own face?

"Of course I know you, Li Dayong, are not a person greedy for money,"

Li Ye pressed down on Li Dayong, who was anxious to stand up, and said seriously: "We are all brothers. For this matter, some contribute people, some contribute effort. We share the blessings together, and we spend the money we earn together... To say anything more would be treating me like a stranger."

"Brother, I'm really not..." Li Dayong was almost anxious to tears; he really hadn't thought about money.

Li Ye waved his hand and said to the few people present: "Actually, today, I have a few words I want to say to everyone...

Maybe you guys think... money is very important... but after many years, when you look back, you will find that money is just a fart."

"........."

Hao Jian, who was full of smiles, was stunned; the clever and shrewd Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng was stunned; even Wang Jianqiang, whose head was full of "this mutton soup is truly fragrant," was stunned.

Is money just a fart?

Then please fart a little more; I'm here to catch it for you. I don't want much, just share a little with me.

But at this moment, the atmosphere on the field was completely controlled by Li Ye.

The eyes of the four people followed Li Ye's gestures, his words, and his aura, gradually coloring their own state of mind, filling their chests with the two words "loyalty."

Li Ye ordered a bottle of white liquor and poured it for the four of them and himself, two taels each.

"I only hope that one day in the future, when everyone wants to do something, you can recall the bowl of mutton soup here, recall the days when we were frank and helped each other, and then decide what you should do."

"Come, bottoms up!"

"..........."

"Bottoms up!"

"Bottoms up!"

Hao Jian and the others didn't understand Li Ye's words, but they downed the liquor in their hands in one gulp.

It wasn't until many years later, whenever they recalled these words Li Ye said at this moment, that they would sigh at how lucky they were in this life; if it weren't for Li Ye...

Two taels of liquor don't make you drunk, but they help the mood.

After the meal, Hao Jian rushed to pay the bill and then gave Li Ye a look.

Li Ye and Hao Jian left first, while Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng took Li Dayong and Wang Jianqiang to watch a movie.

"We sold a total of 186 jin and 6 liang of malt sugar today. I rounded off the change for them and collected a total of 111.6 yuan.

In the morning in the provincial capital, we ate a jin and a half of fried dough sticks... leaving 109.4 yuan... after deducting the cost, the balance is 61.36 yuan. Look at how this money should be handled?"

Hao Jian took out a small notebook, which recorded the accounts of this time. Although it wasn't very formal, it was clear.

This was a good phenomenon. If Hao Jian, the market developer, played tricks and kept messy accounts with you, then this startup team would be close to breaking up.

Li Ye said: "What do you want to do?"

Hao Jian licked his lips and said: "Logically, you invested the capital, so now that we've made money, we should give you 50 first.

But the provincial capital is in a hurry for sugar, and our batches of one or two hundred jin are too small. I think... let's owe you for now..."

Li Ye nodded in agreement: "Okay, tomorrow I'll talk to my classmate and let you use that 26-inch Phoenix too, carrying two loads at a time.

In the future, I won't be in a hurry to ask you for money. You don't need to consider taking out this capital; just focus on expanding production and expanding the market."

If the three of them were to carry four hundred jin of sugar, they would need two bicycles, so the third person would need a separate vehicle.

"That's fine," Hao Jian put away the small notebook and said: "If the next few times go smoothly, I propose buying a flatbed cart and pulling it with two bicycles. Transporting a thousand or eight hundred jin won't be a problem."

Hao Jian hesitated and asked again: "Just now you said you were giving that classmate a share... are you serious?"

Li Ye slanted his eyes and said faintly: "Why, do you object?"

Hao Jian felt a jolt in his heart and hurriedly said: "No, how could I object... I'm just afraid that with too many people... we won't earn enough... and I'll lose money for you..."

Hao Jian actually wanted to say 【Are you partnering with me to do business? Or are you trying to alleviate poverty for your brothers? Is there no end to them one by one?】

But Li Ye's gaze made him afraid to speak the truth. If he had resentment when Li Ye "ordered" him to go to the provincial capital a few days ago, he was now already fearful of gain and loss.

When Hao Jian counted the money from selling sugar three times this morning, his heart warmed up.

One trip to the provincial capital earned sixty, two trips earned one hundred and twenty. Even if he ran ten trips a month, that would be six hundred yuan.

Six hundred yuan!

Even if he could only get one hundred, he could build a circle of large tile-roofed houses in a few months.

But... with such large profits, isn't Li Ye tempted?

Looking at Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's shrewd appearance, Hao Jian was very afraid of being thrown out of this small group by Li Ye. After all, he felt he wasn't indispensable.

So he felt he should show more value, be a good manager who opens sources and reduces expenditures, and then...

"If we don't earn enough, it's my money that's lost. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Ye glanced at Hao Jian and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Are you actually trying to ask me how we should split the money earned from this business in the future?"

Hao Jian didn't expect to be exposed and said sheepishly: "I... if it doesn't work, you can pay me wages. Anyway, you're the proprietor."

Li Ye glanced at him and said indifferently: "Then let's do four-six! You get four, I get six."

Hao Jian was stunned for several seconds and muttered: "Four-six? I get four, you get six?"

Li Ye rolled his eyes and asked coldly: "Why? Do you want me to get four and you get six?"

Hao Jian waved his hands frantically and said in a panic: "No, no, no, I get four, you get six... I get four, you get six... that's very good."

"Pfft~"

Li Ye chuckled and said: "I know you think it's too much? But I can tell you one thing—don't be jealous that your subordinates earn more, because if they earn more, you earn even more."

These words were not Li Ye's original words; they were told to Li Ye by a self-made billionaire in his previous life. Based on Li Ye's experience, these words were still applicable, at least during the startup phase of a team.

【Subordinates?】

【Is he treating me as a subordinate?】

【But... that's fine.】

Hao Jian didn't know what "truly fragrant" meant, but at this moment, his anxious heart was completely settled.

Good days are coming! Chapter 32: Who is the One Who Plans Everything?
