Chapter 0001: The Collapsing Family Business

What did you say? Then all the workers present were left bewildered

"Certainly, I will give you the money. Not only will I repay the 6 months of overdue wages, but I will also provide an additional 6 months of compensation, totaling one year's salary for you!" Jia Yapeng said with a serious expression.

1800 yuan! Uncle Dalin swallowed hard, already beginning to fantasize about the wonderful life he would have with this money, but he quickly broke free from his fantasy.

The term "Xiguai" is a designation for children in the region of Yuzhang; however, it is generally no longer used to refer to individuals after they reach the age of twelve, as it carries a connotation of disrespect

I said, I will give you a year's salary. Uncle Daling's monthly salary is 150 yuan, so I will give you 1800 yuan!" said Jia Yapeng

Microsoft ... ... Alright, it is not yet 1995, and it seems he is indeed not famous ... ... "The young man sighed, "Brother, I have made up my mind, do not persuade me any further, I will be wealthy in the future anyway."

"You little rascal, how can you speak like that?" Uncle Daling's expression changed several times in an instant

It is merely a food factory with only a dozen or so workers... The other party sighed, "Old Three, I know you are proud and ambitious. Among those of us who can get into Tsinghua University, how many are not proud and ambitious? If you were like me, majoring in economics, then it would be understandable to engage in business. But you are majoring in physics, how can you possibly understand how to run a business!"

Indeed, if I can graduate from here and enter society, I should have a brilliant life!" The boy nodded. "But so what? If I drop out now, my brilliance will arrive three years early. Isn't that quite good?

1 million

What does this mean? Uncle Daling was somewhat confused

Well, my parents are gone, leaving me with two young sisters, and I must go back to take care of them!" said a boy wearing bell-bottom pants, who undoubtedly belonged to the fashionable crowd of that era.

... ...

"Alright, let's meet again in three years!" The boy waved his hand and gracefully disappeared from Xiao Qi's line of sight

Upon seeing the appearance of this young man, Daling rushed forward immediately, grabbing his arm and shaking it vigorously, saying, "Peng Xigui, I have watched you grow up, and I, Uncle Daling, can be considered your elder. Please, do me a favor and save my family!"

You absolutely need not worry about my escaping, because for the next 2 months, I, Jia Yapeng, will be eating, living, sleeping, and working! I will spend all my time in the factory, and each of you will be able to see me; I will not leave this place for even a step!

What does it matter if it's gone? He is a top student from Tsinghua University, would he even care about such a small food factory? Rest assured, he has great capabilities and will definitely not continue to run this small, shabby factory; perhaps he is currently discussing selling the machinery with someone else

How is it? Are you willing to help me? Do you look down on your brother? the young man said with a smile

Over a thousand people? Xiao Qi was startled by her friend's words. Is this guy out of his mind? A venue for over a thousand people, does he think he is running a state-owned enterprise?

"Two months!" Uncle Daling widened his eyes. "Jia Yapeng, are you still trying to play tricks on your uncle? Don't think that your uncle is easy to fool. In two months, you would have long disappeared without a trace. How are we supposed to find you!"

After stepping back, I felt very embarrassed, so I angrily said, "Jia Yapeng, let me ask you, were those people just now here to look at the equipment? Are you planning to sell the equipment?"

Who is Bill Gates? I haven't heard of him

"Uncle Daling, you are only half right. Those people are indeed here to look at the equipment, but they do not intend to purchase it. They are merely assessing a collateral value for these devices and then providing me with a loan," said Jia Yapeng

If the equipment in the factory is sold, then the factory will be completely gone

"Listen to me, we must hold on until the end this time, otherwise that little brat will sell the equipment and run off to Beijing with all the money, and we will never see our half a year's wages again!" Daling shouted loudly, and the other workers behind him immediately joined in the uproar, shouting slogans demanding repayment that echoed through the air.

"Xiao Qi, I know you are doing this for my own good!" The boy laughed as he put his arm around his roommate's shoulder. "Look, I am not dropping out, I am just taking a leave of absence. If I end up ruining the factory and it goes bankrupt, I will come back to school. But if by some stroke of luck I manage to create a large factory with over a thousand employees, how about you, as an economics major, come work for me?"

"What does it matter if it's only been half a month? They have already owed us our wages for half a year, a full 900 yuan! Our family is on the verge of starvation. If they don't pay us our wages today, our whole family will starve to death!" Daling said fiercely, "Listen, I heard that the top student has returned. We can just ask him for our wages. If that doesn't work, we can sell the equipment in the factory; we will surely be able to get our wages back!"

Just as Daling and others were shouting slogans, the gate finally opened, and several figures walked out from the factory. Among them, a few well-dressed adults cast a meaningful glance at the protesting workers before getting into a small car at the factory entrance and leaving, leaving the young man standing dazed at the door

Ah, I forgot, people in Huaxia in 1990 were still quite innocent, most of them had never heard the term loan!" Jia Yapeng touched his head and then explained, "In simple terms, they are bank personnel who appraised our equipment, using this equipment as collateral to lend me a sum of money

Hehe! The young man smiled and said, "Uncle Daling, if you really starved for 6 months, what are you now, a human or a ghost?"

"Get rich? Are you crazy? You don't even have a diploma, let alone talk about job placement. You can't enter public institutions or national agencies. What glorious life do you expect? Do you want to engage in speculation and become a self-employed individual?" another person said with deep concern.

"Go ahead! If you can really become the big boss in that position, I will work for you!" Xiao Qi nodded vigorously

Bill Gates also dropped out of Harvard after studying for half a year

"Then you must have sold the equipment... wait... does that mean you have money in hand now!" Uncle Daling's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Pay us back, quickly return our wages!"

Peng... Master Jia, you wouldn't be joking with me, would you! How could you possibly give me a year's salary!

Loan? What does loan mean? Uncle Daling was somewhat bewildered upon hearing this completely unfamiliar term

Uncle Dalian's family has been unable to cook for six months. If you do not pay us our wages today, we will all starve to death in front of your door

Everyone, let's lift our spirits, as our Daqian Instant Noodle Factory is about to resume operations again

However, if one could really manage a factory with a scale of over a thousand people, how much money would this person have to earn

"As an individual business owner, of course, I wouldn't want to be just that. If I'm going to do it, I want to be a big boss. Don't you know? My parents left me a factory, so when I go back, I'll be a little boss!" the boy laughed.

"Half!" Jia Yapeng said淡淡地.

"Lian Pen, have you really decided to drop out?" At the entrance of the renowned Wudaokou Institute of Technology, a pair of good friends are saying their farewells

"Dalin, isn't it inappropriate for us to make such a fuss? After all, it's only been less than half a month since the old factory director and his wife left!" In front of a dirty, dilapidated small factory, filled with the smell of machine oil, more than a dozen men holding signs that read "Repay debts, do not delay workers' wages" blocked the entrance. At the forefront was a middle-aged man in his forties, beside him stood his somewhat short and plump wife, who said with a tinge of reluctance.

"No matter how I speak, please let go of your hand first!" The young man glared fiercely at Uncle Daling, and this man in his forties was surprisingly a bit frightened by that glare, involuntarily taking a few steps back.

But you can't drop out! Do you know how many people dream of getting into Tsinghua University? How could you just quit like this? Are you crazy! Do you not care about your future and prospects anymore! Another person questioned loudly, drawing the attention of the surrounding students.

"I said I would give it, and I will give it, but not now; rather, it will be in two months. After two months, I will provide each of you with a total of 14 months' salary!" said Jia Yapeng
