Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 358 - 248: Who Are You Looking Down On?

"Xiaolin, as a matter of principle, I shouldn’t stop you. Although you call me Uncle Anguo and you’re my cousin, you’re nearly ten years older than me!" Yi Anguo thought for a moment and said.

"You’ve traveled more roads than I have, consumed more salt than I have. From 2006 to now, counting from the beginning to the end, you’ve been with me for five years."

"To be honest, I’m very reluctant for you to leave. Entrusting Anguo Furniture Company to you put me at ease, and you’ve done very well—helped me greatly."

"If you are not continuing, what are your plans after leaving Anguo Furniture?"

"Although I don’t want you to leave, if you really intend to go, I can’t stop you. If there’s anything you need my help with, and if I can assist, I’ll certainly do my best to support you."

Yi Xiaolin thought for a moment and said: "I’ve earned quite a bit over these years working with you, and after I leave, I plan to start a mahogany furniture factory."

"But rest assured, Uncle Anguo, I won’t steal clients from Anguo Furniture."

"Additionally, initially, I’d like to take some subcontracting orders from Anguo Furniture. You can have confidence in quality; even if I might deceive others, I’d never deceive Uncle Anguo."

Over the years with Yi Anguo, Yi Xiaolin wasn’t treated poorly; he earned quite a bit of money, totaling around ten to twenty million.

The benefits he received were significant, not only providing a home for him but also equipping him and Yi Xiaoman with a luxury car worth about a million, allowing them to bring their families to Shenzhen, resolving residency issues, and arranging schooling for their children.

If it hadn’t been for Yi Anguo bringing them from the village to Shenzhen, it’s unlikely Yi Xiaolin would have had the opportunity to earn ten to twenty million in his lifetime.

Nonetheless, Yi Anguo must admit that Yi Xiaolin is indeed a highly capable individual; even if he hadn’t brought him from the countryside to Shenzhen, his life wouldn’t have been too difficult.

"Alright! Since cooperation with other furniture factories for subcontracting is necessary anyway, I can trust you, can’t I?" Yi Anguo chuckled and said.

"As for subcontracting prices, I can let Xiaoman give you a higher rate."

"However, if you’re just thinking of starting a mahogany furniture factory and relying on subcontracting, you won’t earn much in a year, maybe just a few million at most."

"In that case, you’d be better off staying here to continue helping me. If you feel your salary is too low, that’s negotiable; I can raise it a bit more." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Last year, your base salary plus bonus was about 5 to 6 million, right? This year, I can adjust your salary and bonus to no less than 10 million, what do you think?"

For Yi Anguo, he genuinely hopes Yi Xiaolin can continue to assist him; giving him a bit more money isn’t an issue.

To be frank, a salary of 10 million is already equivalent to that of the executive president, CEO of a large listed company. Many chairmen of listed companies don’t earn 10 million.

But with Anguo Furniture earning profits, Yi Xiaolin and Yi Xiaoman’s contributions are indispensable.

Even though Anguo Furniture could still develop without Yi Xiaolin and Yi Xiaoman, and the development wouldn’t be poor, Yi Anguo would undoubtedly have to worry much more.

Yi Xiaolin was silent for a moment; a salary plus bonus of no less than 10 million! With his current capital, even opening a mahogany furniture factory, earning 10 million a year wouldn’t be easy.

After all, although the mahogany furniture industry is thriving now, starting a mahogany furniture factory at this time is costly, and the prices for many mahogany raw materials have already risen significantly.

The most crucial point is, he doesn’t have clients unless he poaches them from Anguo Furniture.

But if he really does that, meeting Uncle Anguo later, couldn’t he find a crack to squeeze into? He’d certainly feel too ashamed to face anyone.

Moreover, it would block his future paths; if his mahogany furniture factory can’t sustain or faces funding turnovers, how could he seek help from Uncle Anguo? If he poaches Anguo Furniture’s old clients, how could he even broach the subject of asking Uncle Anguo for help?

"You don’t need to rush to make a decision. You can think it over slowly, and discuss it well with your wife." Yi Anguo continued.

"Uncle Anguo! I don’t mean that your salary for me is too low. Honestly, five or six million a year is already a lot; many CEOs of listed companies don’t necessarily earn more than we do." Yi Xiaolin quickly said, somewhat embarrassed.

Is this a joke? An annual income of five or six million? No matter how thick-skinned Yi Xiaolin might be, he felt embarrassed to say that Yi Anguo’s salary was too low.

However, Yi Anguo suddenly telling him that this year’s salary plus bonus exceeding 10 million made him feel uncertain about wanting to leave.

Earning 10 million a year, it was something he never dared to imagine.

The reason Yi Anguo considered resigning and starting his own business was also because the mahogany furniture industry is truly booming now.

He was acquainted with many owners in the mahogany furniture sector. In conversations, he’d heard much information, like a small mahogany furniture factory owner who invested only 200,000 to 300,000 and earned over a million within a year with merely a dozen workers in the plant.
