Chapter 486: Chapter 522, Start a Business with 10,000 Yuan

"Ah, this..." Fang Yi felt a bit troubled; he really couldn’t be sure, so he had to say, "Let’s take it one step at a time, go with the flow."

Shen Binnan said sourly, "I’m afraid it would be more like going with a dozen or more."

Fang Yi immediately retorted, "That’s not necessarily true. What matters to me is quality, not quantity. Trust me, I won’t settle for anything less."

Shen Binnan said, "Oh, so I’m not less, huh?" But she didn’t look the slightest bit happy.

Fang Yi found it a bit difficult to respond. After all, this wasn’t ancient society; you couldn’t have multiple wives and concubines. No woman would tolerate the existence of another by a man’s side.

Even so, as with prominent families, high-ranking officials, or the wealthy, nobody would believe that they had only one woman in their lives.

There was a news report once about a high official who was investigated and found to have dozens of mistresses. Besides that, there was another news story about a man who was penniless but somehow got a dozen women to willingly follow him, and they didn’t mind sharing him at all.

So, although this is modern society, it’s not much different from ancient times. If anything is different, it’s the laws. At least Fang Yi could be certain that the women he currently had were ones he truly cared for, and it was not just a fling.

"Did you ever consider that with so many women, there will always be financial pressure? Even if they are willing to follow you wholeheartedly, can you handle that on your conscience?" Shen Binnan said.

"Economic pressure? That’s not an issue," Fang Yi shook his head. If he was out of money, he would just fall back on his old skills. Fang Yi fell silent for a moment after Shen Binnan’s remark and then said, "At least for now, they are my women, and I can’t just push them into someone else’s arms."

Shen Binnan remained silent for a long while.

Suddenly, Fang Yi turned back, "I’ve answered all your questions, now it’s your turn."

Shen Binnan was startled, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "I’m not saying that accepting you is out of the question."

Fang Yi perked up immediately, "Really?!"

"But there’s a condition," Shen Binnan said.

"What condition?"

"The man I like doesn’t need to be a grand hero or someone who’s concerned for the country and its people, but he must have the ability to provide for me," Shen Binnan said.

Being able to ’provide for’ her clearly meant more than just putting food on the table to Shen Binnan.

"I’ll give you a challenge. Within six months, use ten thousand yuan to do business. As long as you make it big, then I’ll marry you, no questions asked," Shen Binnan said, very decisively.

"By ’make it big,’ you mean..."

"As big as Longtu Group," Shen Binnan said.

"Holy crap, are you playing me?" Fang Yi was stunned, his eyes wide and jaw slack. Ten thousand yuan, making it as big as Longtu Group in six months, are you sure you’re not joking with me?

Shen Binnan asked, "Feeling it’s a bit too tough?"

Fang Yi said, "There’s a bit of a challenge, yes."

Shen Binnan said, "Well, then there’s nothing more to say," and stood up to leave.

But Fang Yi grabbed Shen Binnan’s wrist.

"It’s a bit of a challenge, but I didn’t say I couldn’t do it," Fang Yi said.

"My condition is that you can’t rely on any external help, like your Tianyi Company or borrowing money from elsewhere. In short, just ten thousand yuan to make it big and strong. Are you sure?"

Shen Binnan thought he would back down, but it seemed he was eager to accept the challenge.

Fang Yi laughed, "I’m the man who’s going to marry you. If I can’t overcome this little difficulty, then what kind of man am I? It’s only six months. Just you watch, after half a year, I’ll make sure you end up in my bed."

Shen Binnan said, "Don’t get ahead of yourself."

Fang Yi said, "Anyway, I’m putting it out there, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What’s that?"

"If that Li Xuan dares to propose to you again, you tell me."

"And what can you do about it?"

"I might not kill him, but I’ll break him," Fang Yi said, watching Shen Binnan’s expression closely.

Shen Binnan showed no change in emotion; instead, she was very indifferent, saying, "Whatever you like; after all, I have nothing to do with that Li Xuan anymore."

Nothing to do with him? That couldn’t be better. In Fang Yi’s mind, dozens of malicious schemes immediately sprang up.

Of course, what concerned Fang Yi the most was how to start a business with ten thousand yuan and make it as big as Longtu Group within six months; that was a question.

...

Regarding the fundraising fraud at Childe Company, Fang Yi had lost interest in dealing with it. All he cared about was Shen Binnan, and now that Shen Binnan had indicated she had nothing to do with Li Xuan, he could rest easy and focus completely on thinking about entrepreneurship.

Fortunately, Lin Shang and Yao Bo hadn’t left yet. Fang Yi called the two over and inquired about their opinions.

Stroking his chin and looking pensive, Lin Shang finally said slowly, "That can be arranged."

"How so?" Fang Yi asked.

"Ten thousand yuan, you could buy a handgun in the black market. The goods trade in Da Zhou City and Saint La City is quite rampant recently. With your capabilities, it shouldn’t be a problem to take a gun and rob."

Lin Shang gave such an idea.

"How about this, I give you ten thousand yuan as a salary, and you go rob, while I count the money?" Fang Yi said.

"Uh..." Lin Shang sighed, "Then it might be a bit difficult."

Fang Yi rolled his eyes, "So you realize it’s difficult."

Lin Shang gave a bitter smile, "I don’t know what made you suddenly think of this. To start a business with ten thousand yuan and make it as big as Longtu Group within six months is a complete fantasy, just a fool’s dream."

Fang Yi was well aware it was a fantasy and a fool’s dream, he turned to Yao Bo, "Yao Bo, do you have any ideas?"

Yao Bo said, "Brother Yi, I’m all brawn and no brains; I can’t think of anything good, and if I could, it surely wouldn’t be worthwhile."

Fang Yi said, "Three cobblers make up a Zhuge Liang; besides, we three are smarter than cobblers."

"If you say so, but don’t mind if it’s not good," Yao Bo said, "I think, with ten thousand yuan to do business and make it big quickly, it’s all about the skill trade. Aren’t you really skilled in medical practices? Set up a stall, one person paying a thousand yuan, ten people a day. That’s ten thousand a day, and that adds up to several hundred thousand a month."

"That’s wishful thinking," Lin Shang said.

Yao Bo said, "I told you, I don’t have any good ideas, it’s just for reference."

However, Fang Yi shook his head seriously, "I think that’s actually quite a good idea."
