Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 359 - 248: Who Are You Looking Down On? (Part 2)

There was another redwood furniture factory owner, just a small factory with a dozen or twenty people. He made two or three million from making furniture, and another two or three million from trading timber. It was easy for him to earn five to six million a year.

Yi Xiaolin thought that he already had ten to twenty million in hand, and could start a decent-sized factory. Earning ten million a year shouldn’t be too difficult.

There was no other way; Yi Xiaolin had followed Yi Anguo for five years now, and he felt that making money from Yi Anguo’s furniture factory was just too easy.

Even if not producing redwood furniture, just acquiring and storing various kinds of redwood was extremely profitable.

He had personally experienced and executed a lot of things. From the second half of 2008 to now, barely two years had passed, and the redwood prices he helped Yi Anguo purchase had multiplied how many times over?

Yi Xiaolin was thinking that while the redwood furniture market was so booming, starting his own redwood furniture factory should be very profitable.

Even though being with Yi Anguo was comfortable and the earnings were not small, in his heart, it still felt a bit like a burden. Many people thought it was because Yi Anguo treated them too well, took care of them, that’s why they got such high salaries and bonuses.

But Yi Xiaolin felt that if he went out on his own now, he definitely wouldn’t earn less than he did at Anguo’s furniture, and being his own boss, he’d have more freedom and wouldn’t have to listen to people gossiping.

Most importantly, he also wanted to prove that he could do well without Yi Anguo.

"I know! But you guys have indeed helped me a lot, saved me a lot of trouble, so giving you more money is the right thing to do." Yi Anguo nodded and said.

"Starting your own business, I believe you have a great chance of success, but there are still significant risks involved in starting a business. You should consider it more, think it through before you make a decision."

"If it were someone else, I wouldn’t say much, but we’re different; we’re family. That’s why I hope you will consider it more, think it through clearly before making a decision, to avoid regretting later. And losing all the hard-earned money you made with me over the years wouldn’t be worth it."

After Yi Xiaolin left, Yi Anguo also found it difficult to calm down. To be honest, Yi Xiaolin’s position wasn’t irreplaceable.

Yi Anguo didn’t feel that he treated Yi Xiaolin poorly, and the remuneration he offered wasn’t bad at all.

But today, Yi Xiaolin wanted to resign, which was really something Yi Anguo couldn’t quite understand.

The redwood furniture market could only remain good for another two years. If Yi Xiaolin left now and started his own redwood furniture factory, he would definitely regret it in the future and might suffer a huge loss.

Currently, the redwood market prices are very high. If he wants to open a redwood furniture factory, he’ll definitely need to buy redwood materials. Ordinary redwood materials wouldn’t be a big deal, even when the market isn’t good. It won’t be affected too much.

But if he wants to buy large-leaf sandalwood or small-leaf sandalwood and the market turns bad, then prices would be slashed, the original redwood materials would drop in price immensely, and redwood furniture would follow suit. How could a new factory compete with others on price?

So, the end result would definitely be a huge loss, possibly even losing the tens of millions he made over the years with Anguo.

Such an outcome wasn’t something Yi Anguo wanted to see. So, if he could persuade him to stay, Yi Anguo still wanted to convince him to keep working there.

In the evening, at Yi Xiaolin’s home, upon hearing that her husband wanted to resign and start his own redwood furniture factory, Huang Xiaoli looked displeased and said.

"You’ve only had a few good years working with Uncle Anguo, and now you want to stir up trouble." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Running a factory and being a boss can be profitable, but there are also more risks. Even if you make money, how many small factory owners earn more than you?"

"And running a factory carries big risks. What if you lose all the money you earned over the years? What would you do then?"

"Uncle Anguo gives you five or six million a year, and yet you’re still not satisfied. How much do you actually want to earn?"

"You think everyone can be like Uncle Anguo, casually starting a company and making a lot of money."

Listening to his wife’s nagging, Yi Xiaolin couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, "I make a decent amount with Uncle Anguo, but everyone else thinks it’s because he takes care of me, not because I have great abilities."

"The reason I want to start my own business is to prove that even without Uncle Anguo’s care, I can also succeed."

Huang Xiaoli sneered with annoyance and said, "Let them talk then, they have mouths of their own. We can’t control it. They’re just jealous of you anyway. They wish Uncle Anguo would take care of them, but he doesn’t want to."

A big family, cousins, uncles, aunts — there are too many. Comparisons and manipulations can’t be avoided.

After all, not everyone was like Yi Xiaolin and Yi Xiaoman, who were valued by Yi Anguo. They were taken from the village to Shenzhen, and in a few years had earned tens of millions and became company executives.
