Mu Lin was speaking so much that his mouth became dry, so he wanted to end the family meeting early. However, the women had become intrigued by his initial words and were clearly unwilling to let him leave them hanging.
Fenny and the others had all become independent figures, and now Mu Lin wanted them to start from the beginning as apprentices. Although they knew Mu Lin always acted after careful planning and followed his arrangements resolutely, they at least wanted to know what he wanted them to learn and why.
Hong Jiani had been living carefree and happily every day, and now Mu Lin had suddenly placed a burden on her, which she naturally disliked.
Meifang and the others also clamored to know Mu Lin’s plans, saying that knowing his plans would allow them to study accordingly and help him sooner in the future.
Mu Lin’s head throbbed from their noise, so he finally said, “Alright! One by one, brother will explain everything slowly!”
As soon as he said this, he received several disapproving glances, but no one spoke.
Mu Lin chuckled to himself, enjoying the feeling of being the big brother. What a great feeling!
“Brother Mu Lin! The sisters have all gone to work, what are you going to do?” Bis asked.
“Me? Of course, I’m going to earn money! Hehe! To be honest with you, during these few days of retreat, I just realized how little money I have! Sigh! Truly too little!” Mu Lin said with emotion.
“Tsk!” The women all cast disdainful glances at him. He already had so much money, yet he still complained about having too little. If he had too little, how could others survive?
Seeing their glances, Mu Lin also understood their meaning and could only smile bitterly and explain, “I know you won’t believe me, but I have my reasons!
Firstly, I’m using modern science to study my own Taoist techniques. Just the equipment needed is a huge expense, costing no less than hundreds of millions. Secondly, I’m almost out of the talisman paper I use for drawing talismans. Producing more would cost about a hundred million. Thirdly, I want to forge some magical items. Just buying the raw materials would cost hundreds of millions, not including the rubies and sapphires. Can you imagine, this is just the basic research. If I go deeper, will I have enough money?”
Seeing the women still looked puzzled, he became somewhat impatient and showed a sign of anger: “I told you all to practice your skills well, practice your skills well! Hmph, look at yourselves! You can’t even understand such basic things. Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you’ll naturally understand what I mean. Right now, it’s like playing the zither to a cow!”
The women felt embarrassed by Mu Lin’s words and fell silent one by one.
“Brother! Can’t we promise to practice our skills well from now on? But could you please explain in detail?” This time it was Meizi who spoke. Mu Lin always had a soft spot for Meizi’s innocence.
“Alright! Klyr, tell me, how big do you think our real estate and investment companies can become?” Mu Lin asked Klyr.
“In the next few years, it will probably be hard to grow quickly. The real estate company is basically at its peak. To develop further, we would need to transform into real estate development, which would require a large amount of capital and a large pool of talent.
The investment company is currently selecting projects. The return period for general projects is more than two years, sometimes even longer. As for short-term projects, we are currently not optimistic about their investment prospects.”
The others finally began to understand Mu Lin’s intentions. Seeing this, Mu Lin continued, “What I’m trying to say is that only with a strong economic foundation can we ensure Klyr’s development in politics. Look at those old-established families; each controls hundreds of billions or even trillions of funds. Yet on the surface, they remain low-key. So I need Fenny and you three to step back from the clinic’s foundation and start learning specific enterprise management. In the future, each of you will control one or even several enterprises within the family. As for the foundation, it is currently under everyone’s supervision and is not our own asset. So why bother with it?”
Then Mu Lin turned to Hong Jiani and said, “As for Jiani, you’re a natural at managing money and have always followed your sister Klyr. Now your sister is moving into politics, who will take over her role?”
“Can’t Winnie and Jessie take over my sister’s work?” Hong Jiani softly argued, not wanting to be tied down so easily.
“Hehe! This time I’m planning to put your name as the legal representative of this company. From now on, you will be the first person in our family to control an enterprise. With such good conditions, you still don’t want to do it? Besides, those two little girls Winnie and Jessie don’t get along with me!”
“Haha!” Fenny and the others laughed heartily. They already knew about Mu Lin’s relationship with the two girls from Klyr and felt completely at ease here: “Probably because you’re afraid to see them!”
“Hmph! Is there anyone I’m afraid to see?” Mu Lin sneered.
“Oh! Then I’d like to see if you dare to meet her! I hope you can win them over too!” Hong Jiani teased with a smile.
“Alright! Enough talking, it’s getting out of hand! Mu Lin, why do you want to change the legal representative of the company to Jiani’s name? And in which areas do you plan to develop in the future?” Klyr saw that Mu Lin’s expression was getting difficult to maintain and quickly stepped in to mediate.
“Sister! You studied law, you should know that in U country’s laws, when a company’s assets reach a certain amount, the company must go public, otherwise it will face forced breakup by the government. So I plan to change the names of all current and future companies to yours. This way, even if each company needs to go public, it can be mutually owned by other companies, forming absolute control over our own companies.
As for the future development of the company, this is how I see it. You know, modern industry has developed for over a hundred years and has formed a complete foundation in all aspects. Now, to enter this industry again, unless there is internal turmoil, even if you get in, you will face their exclusion and joint attacks unless we have huge political and financial support. It will be difficult to develop in these traditional industries.”
“I’m thinking like this. You know, according to the prospects of modern industrial civilization, currently what’s flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, all rely on petroleum and coal as the main energy sources to keep the steel moving. Therefore, the future will belong to energy and new industrial technologies. Only by having our own economic industries can we provide more funds for your political development.”
“So what are your plans recently? Why did you arrange for us to learn at the company?” Fenny asked.
“Recently, I have already planned to buy Bell Labs in Chicago. They are currently researching a new model of mobile phones. If successful, it will be somewhat similar to our ancient method of long-distance communication.”
