Chapter 708: Chapter 708 Let’s Revive the Dead

"The meat is ready, come and eat," Yu Jingting called to Suizi.

"I’ve worked out the resumption work, there’s no need for it. The obstacles are too great. It’s only a matter of attempting to revive the dead."

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by ’revive the dead’?" Jiaojiao leaned in, curious.

"In business, ’reviving the dead’ refers to reusing something that’s no longer relevant, but still holds value. It’s neither me nor not me, just like this wireless factory. Trying to profit from producing radios is no longer an option, but we can repurpose it to do something else."

Jiaojiao seemed to understand.

"Sister-in-law, let’s start a food stall then. Look at this large empty space, we can set up so many tables. You took me to the night market last time, remember the profitability we calculated for the BBQ stall?"

Emerging business acumen should be nurtured from a young age; Suizi was entirely forthcoming in her knowledge with Jiaojiao.

"A food stall isn’t appropriate here. Didn’t you notice, on the way here, how far this place is from the nearest residential area? And there’s plenty of food stalls around the nearby residential zones, why would anyone come all this way?" Yu Jingting responded.

"Ah, I see..." Jiaojiao a bit admired her brother, she murmured quietly, "So you were paying attention to the terrain all along. Here I thought you were being cheeky with my sister-in-law the entire journey."

"..." Suizi glared at Yu Jingting, blaming him for crossing the line inappropriately and getting noticed by Jiaojiao!

Yu Jingting, with an undeterred expression, raised his eyebrow. He only gave her leg a couple of pats, he didn’t touch elsewhere. He had shown great restraint!

"Your brother is a man who can multitask. He was just demonstrating in the car... what a ’wandering lad’ does. If any boy dares to do this to you, you should kick him."

"Hmm, I believe it." Jiaojiao didn’t have the heart to expose her sister-in-law’s protective behavior.

Wasn’t her brother the biggest ’wandering lad’?

"If we’re not doing a food stall, then what are we going to do? There’s not much time left from what Auntie Jun has given you. Actually, I feel that she’s become softer since becoming pregnant. Can’t you just apologize to her, Sister-in-law, and call off the bet?"

Jiaojiao sensed that Auntie Jun might not really want to push her brother and sister-in-law at all. She simply couldn’t back down off her high horse, and in these few days, her attitude had become noticeably more flexible. Today she even gave Jiaojiao pocket money- a lot of pocket money, probably skimmed off the grocery account.

"Now it’s not about the bet, it’s that your brother and I really want to make this project happen."

Suizi knew that her mother was touched by her words, that, even if she and Yu Jingting couldn’t revive the wireless factory, her mother wouldn’t force Jingting to join her side.

This was something Suizi wanted to handle on her own.

"As for the Fan family, they have invested all their money in this, and they will be without even their initial investment. They will definitely go to my mother to complain of hardship. My mother needs peace and quiet at this time, I don’t want these annoying matters troubling her."

"But why should you and my brother have to clean up someone else’s mess?"

Suizi took a bite of her skewer, her face emanating an air of righteousness.

"Because I am the eldest daughter of the family and your brother is the son-in-law of the eldest daughter. What does being the Boss entail? Being the Boss means being able to shoulder responsibility at critical moments!"

Just as Jiaojiao was about to commend her sister-in-law, she heard her brother leisurely inputting his own comments.

"She wants a majority stake." Only his wife could present the act of making money from nothing as such a refined virtue.

"..." Jiaojiao admitted, she had learned something new again.

"Once your brother and I have come up with a plan, we will go door-to-door to persuade people. After all, teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish to eat." Suizi launched into her values speech, leaving Jiaojiao with a head full of question marks.

To interpret Suizi’s speech and language, they have to consult Yu Jingting.

"What she means is, once we have a plan, we’ll go from door to door to collect a round of start-up funds as shares for these people. Just like picking a crop of chives."

Jiaojiao applauded expressionlessly, marveling at the sheer brilliance of it all.

"So, in essence, the venue is provided by the Fan Family’s capital contributions, and the subsequent business you intend on doing relies on capitalizing off the Fan Family. Yet, you both insist on taking the majority stake. That’s... making money from nothing?"

"How can you say it’s from nothing, your brother and I, both of us are talented individuals, providing them with a plan to turn their losses into profits. Do you know how many brain cells this will consume? The most valuable thing in this world is never manual labor, but mental labor. The higher the value you can provide, the more valuable your ideas become."

Suizi stated this undeniably.

She was not a saintess, why should she earn money for others for free? She and Yu Jingting had put in the effort, and there should be return for that effort. It was only fair.

"But would those people agree to you guys taking the lion’s share? They’ve already lost money, would they still be willing to invest more?"

"They will. If investing more money can earn back their previous losses, they would choose to invest, without investing, they would lose everything. If you were in their shoes, which would you choose? The Fan Family’s sunk costs are too great, they don’t have the resources to negotiate terms with us."

Suizi believed, as long as she and Yu Jingting made this work, her mother could rest peacefully for the next few months. This was also her gift to her unborn twins.

The boy and girl twins ran over, smelling the aroma of the barbecue, both children sweating from all the play.

"Oops!" Luoluo fell.

Suizi went over to help her up, asking gently, "Did it hurt?"

"Not really." Luoluo was tough skin, casually patting her leg. Her skin remained unbroken.

The ground of the wireless factory was cemented, smooth and flat, a fall wouldn’t result in serious injuries.

Yu Jingting had been watching his wife and daughter all along, seeing his daughter so brave, he raised his hand and gave her a thumbs up.

"Girl, well done."

"Hey." Luoluo ran over and hugged her dad’s neck giving him a kiss.

Bobo sat to the side, quietly being a meat skewer eating machine.

"Dad, can you take me to the skating rink at Ritan?" Luoluo took the opportunity to suggest.

People in Beijing love to skate. In winter, the frozen surface of the lake is covered with amateur experts. It’s so popular that they have also developed skating rinks. There are several big and small, always packed with people.

Yu Jingting often went out to play with his friends during his university days. He naturally wouldn’t miss such a trendy place.

But wherever he went, he always had to bring Suizi along, and occasionally lead the kids, he was like a breath of fresh air amongst his circle of friends.

Upon hearing the word "skating", Bobo, the dedicated foodie by the side, also lifted his head, his big eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at his dad.

Both of the twins loved gallivanting around with their parents, having fun and trying various activities. They were fond of activities like roller skating.

"I want to go too." Jiaojiao also liked it.

The roller-skating rink operates four sessions a day, each lasting two hours. You have to queue for half a day to get tickets.

Some parents thought that the rollerskating rink was filled with delinquent teenagers and wouldn’t let their kids go, but the Yu Family didn’t have this concern.

As long as the children were with Suizi and her husband, they could go anywhere. After all, Yu Jingting was the biggest delinquent and with him around, no one would dare mess with his kids.

Suizi seemed to have found some inspiration, she and Yu Jingting exchanged glances and she saw the same spark in his eyes. Suizi nodded at him.

"I won’t take you to the Ritan roller skating rink."

With that, the three kids’ faces fell simultaneously.

"What your dad means is, he’s going to build a skating rink for you."
