"..."
Fang Xiaocao choked, that wasn't what she meant. She wanted to say, since you have a factory and shops, why not arrange for your maternal uncles and cousins to work there! But seeing Zhang Liunian's demeanor, he didn't seem willing.
How could this be? They were family, how could they be so distant?
The three maternal uncles were all astute. With just this one sentence, they guessed that Zhang Liunian didn't want to help them. The eldest maternal uncle couldn't help but speak first, "Liunian, Eldest Uncle heard that your business is doing very well now. Not only do you have shops and a factory in Nancheng, but also in the provincial capital.
Not long ago, I heard you went to Pengcheng. Your business is so big, you must need helpers. It just so happens that your uncles don't know what to do. Why don't you see if there's any suitable work for us, and arrange for us, how about it?"
The second maternal uncle also said, "Yes, you say you have such a large enterprise, and without a few trustworthy relatives to help you, if someone stabs you in the back, it won't be good."
The third maternal uncle just nodded after hearing this and didn't speak, but his darting eyes never stopped, and no one knew what he was calculating in his mind.
Seeing the expressions of his three maternal uncles, Zhang Liunian knew they wanted to make money with him.
But for any reason, he couldn't accept it.
First, the three maternal uncles all had their own destinies and fortunes. Second, they were too calculative. Even after being reborn, he wasn't sure he could control these three maternal uncles.
Take the eldest maternal uncle, for instance. He was the inventor of the advertisement for seeking a child with heavy rewards in his previous life, and that advertisement was the eldest maternal uncle's wealth code.
If he brought the eldest maternal uncle under his wing, who knew what would happen later?
And the second maternal uncle, he was the founder of mobile phone scams in his previous life, the so-called originator of fraud.
Although he was quite old when he started his venture, he did earn billions of dollars through it, ensuring his descendants were worry-free for five generations.
The third maternal uncle was even more astonishing. He had thoroughly studied the law, found loopholes, and led a group of people to investigate and extort. They didn't target powerful large companies or groups, but small shop owners, extorting them and exploiting their weaknesses to demand compensation, successfully earning enough money for ten generations of descendants.
These three maternal uncles were like gods of darkness in Nancheng; everyone cursed them when they spoke of them, given the numerous victims, their crimes were naturally heinous.
The three maternal uncles actually knew they had a bad reputation, so after earning money, they all fled abroad to live in luxury and never returned to their hometown.
However, they never stopped scamming their own countrymen.
Now that their maternal grandmother wanted him to take in these three individuals, Zhang Liunian would only do so if he had a screw loose.
Not to mention their practice of only preying on their own people, even their unconventional minds were not suitable to be his helpers.
Therefore, he would not agree to let the three maternal uncles work for him.
However, giving them some advice and help was possible. He also wanted to see if, with his advice, they would still tread the same path as in their previous lives and prey on their countrymen.
"I understand your thoughts, but I think all three maternal uncles are exceptional talents. Working under me would be a waste of their abilities and wouldn't allow them to fully utilize their talents.
It would be better for the maternal uncles to start their own businesses directly, just like I did before.
Even I, with only a primary school education, could succeed. If people as smart as my uncles can't, they definitely can.
Who knows, by the end of the year, Grandma might see your uncles driving back to wish her a Happy New Year.
But if they worked for me, at most they'd get three hundred yuan a month, which is a little over three thousand a year. If they wanted to buy a car like mine, they'd have to work for who knows how long. Don't you think so?"
As soon as Zhang Liunian said this, the whole room fell silent.
It seemed to make sense, didn't it? The three maternal uncles, who had always planned to work for their nephew, were stunned.
Yes, why did they have to work for their nephew instead of starting their own individual businesses?
After all, working for their nephew meant working for someone else and earning a fixed salary. But if they started their own businesses, they would all be big bosses.
As for whether they would succeed, they had no worries at all. After all, their nephew's mind wasn't that sharp, judging by how many years he had been trying to get into university.
So, if people like their nephew could succeed, why couldn't they? They were much smarter than this nephew.
The three maternal uncles thought of this in unison, exchanged glances, and then smiled.
"Liunian, you're right. Your three uncles were smart since childhood. When they were young, they could always get things from outside to eat. During those three years of severe famine, only our family never starved to death, and that was all thanks to the cleverness of your three uncles.
If they also started their own businesses, they would surely make money. But they have never been out of town before, you need to teach them more."
After listening to Zhang Liunian's explanation, although Fang Xiaocao felt a little uncomfortable, she had to admit that her grandson was right. Her three sons didn't look great, but their minds never lost to others.
If they really started their own businesses, they might achieve even greater success than her grandson. By then, let alone building houses and buying cars, marrying daughters-in-law, everything would be a piece of cake.
Thinking this way, Fang Xiaocao also felt that starting their own business was indeed much better than working for her grandson.
Because working for others would at most be three hundred yuan a month. Although this three hundred yuan was a very high salary now, it was still too little compared to her grandson's current net worth.
What a pity, her grandson and granddaughter-in-law were outsiders, and it was not as heartwarming as her own family getting rich.
"Mom is right. Liunian, why don't you teach us how to do individual businesses?" The eldest maternal uncle heard his mother's words and agreed wholeheartedly.
Their family had little land but many children, and they were living a poor life. For this reason, his eldest son did not hesitate to spend a huge sum of money to find a rich daughter as a match, just to help the family live a better life.
Now that their nephew suddenly got rich, they naturally wanted to get rich with him.
It was just that they had thought wrongly before, even thinking that the best way to make money was to work for their nephew. But after listening to their nephew's words, they also understood that working for others was not as good as being their own boss.
Look at their nephew, who could afford to buy a car within half a year of starting his individual business.
Did they not believe they could do better than a young nephew?
"Liunian, I also want to learn from you and do individual businesses. You have to teach Second Uncle!" The second maternal uncle chimed in, also agreeing with Zhang Liunian's idea.
Nonsense, a man who doesn't want to be a boss is not a good man. Who would like to be managed by their nephew? They only thought about working for their nephew before because they had no choice. Now that there was an opportunity to do it themselves, why wouldn't they?
The third maternal uncle, who had not spoken, finally opened his mouth, "Liunian, Third Uncle doesn't need you to teach him hand-in-hand. Just teach me the method of your success, and Third Uncle will be able to do it himself."
