Profit and risk go hand in hand. Unless she had the energy to supervise a construction site every day, Chi Yun’er had no intention of touching real estate.
However, her long-term plan to coast into an early retirement did include goals like buying land to open a shopping mall and entering the electronics industry.
But after opening her flower shop and having three adorable children, her desire to simply stay home and cherish her family grew stronger.
She wasn’t going to do it herself, but she could encourage Zhao Jinming to do it!
She would invest the capital while he would contribute his management skills, and they would split the profits fifty-fifty.
With this plan in mind, she asked for Jiang Yihua’s opinion.
"Yunyun, I don’t have any objections. You can do whatever you want. But I have to give you a heads-up: no matter how close people are, once profit is involved, the relationship is no longer pure. Money is the root of all evil, and it can cause things to get very ugly."
Chi Yun’er nodded. "That’s why I’ll only be an early-stage investor. Once I’ve recouped my initial investment, I’ll either continue to take a cut of the profits for twenty years, or I’ll pull out after making back two—no, ten times my principal."
"The company would be all his then. Wouldn’t that be better?"
"This industry is going to make an insane amount of money in the future. What I’m proposing is very achievable."
Jiang Yihua smiled and wrapped his arm around her. "So, honey, you’d already thought of all this and were just testing me?"
"Of course not," Chi Yun’er said, snuggling into his embrace with a light laugh and a shake of her head. "I just feel that a husband and wife shouldn’t keep any secrets from each other. We should share and discuss things to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Complete trust and honesty make a person feel secure. That’s true for you, and it’s true for me."
Jiang Yihua gave her a rare, affectionate kiss. "My wife is right about everything. We’ll do it your way. It’s best to write it all down in a contract. Set two criteria—time and profit. As soon as one is met, we pull our shares. That will give Zhao Jinming something to strive for."
"However, we definitely won’t be able to get this piece of land."
Chi Yun’er also thought about what had happened at the flower shop. Now that Jiang Zishi finally had money, how could he let someone outdo him financially?
