Chapter 847 - 288: Parents’ Thoughts – Do They Want Grandchildren from Me? (Part 2)

Moreover, this matter was brought up by Father, and it’s an injustice the old man has never forgotten.

In the past, Li Heng didn’t know how much money Li Yuan had; he only knew he earned several million from writing novels, so he didn’t have such thoughts.

But after living in Modu for a few months, witnessing Li Yuan’s mansion worth tens of millions and his Lamborghini supercar worth several million, and knowing the huge profits from his tea shop and games,

he naturally wanted to help his somewhat close brothers with his son’s endless wealth.

After the big family had a chaotic discussion for a while,

they all looked at Li Yuan, letting him decide.

Li Yuan hadn’t actually made up his mind either,

about what kind of business they should engage in. High-tech enterprises were definitely out of the question; other things would have to be relatively simple and easy to manage.

"Uncle, second uncle, and other uncles, I haven’t figured out the specifics yet."

Li Yuan looked at everyone’s expectant eyes and spoke with a smile.

"Here’s the plan, uncles. Since you’re older, you can stay home to renovate the family ancestral hall and your own houses. Let the cousins and their spouses go to Modu to have a look, take a shot, and see the world..."

"By the way, I’m planning to put up 20 million as the Li Clan’s family development fund, to be used for family development, including building the ancestral hall, genealogy compilation, entrepreneurship, etc."

"This money will be placed in a special account managed by my dad. If there are any entrepreneurial ideas, you can apply from the family development fund. After the family discussion, interest-free loans can be provided without a time limit. After making money, put the money back into the family development fund..."

Hearing Li Yuan say right off the bat that 20 million would be given as a family development fund, even though Li Zhen, Li Cheng, Li Wu, and Li Zichao already knew Li Yuan’s wealth, they were still shocked.

Big cousin Li Zichao looked extremely shocked at Li Yuan: "Yuan, isn’t this too much money? We just want to do a small business."

Uncle Li Wu also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, 20 million is too much. I just want to open a small restaurant and make a few hundred thousand a year. Just with the interest from these 20 million, there would be tens of thousands in interest income a year, right?"

Second cousin Li Ziliang chimed in: "The current interest rate for large fixed deposits is over three percent. For one million that’s thirty thousand a year, and 20 million in interest alone would be six hundred thousand."

"My heavens, with a year’s interest income alone being several hundred thousand, that’ll last our family a lifetime."

"Yuan, why don’t you just keep the money? If we start a business and it fails, won’t it be a big loss?"

Listening to their discussion, Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

To be honest, with the skills of these cousins and uncles, giving them a business to run might not succeed, losing money is almost a certainty.

But on the other hand, if I worry about this and that, why would I set up this family development fund?

I might as well just give them a sum of money and let them enjoy it; that would be duty fulfilled.

It’s not that I’m hoping for the family to be more prosperous under my stewardship!

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Whether it’s starting a business or purchasing properties, you all can discuss it. Once you’ve decided, just let me know."

"Oh, to show support for the development of our Li Clan, I’ve decided to support each family with 2 million. You can use it to renovate old houses and build villas, buy a car for each family. Get driver’s licenses if needed and study as needed, so that everyone has a bright future..."

Li Yuan looked at his stunned uncles and cousins and added:

"This 2 million is given unconditionally for the sake of our big family and isn’t part of the family development fund."

After finishing, Li Yuan glanced at the well-behaved Bai Weixi standing by:

"Bai, collect the uncles’ bank details later and arrange for the company to transfer the money."

Bai Weixi nodded obediently: "Today is New Year’s Eve, the banks might not be open. Let’s do it tomorrow."

Li Yuan patted Bai Weixi’s head: "Alright, a few days won’t matter; let’s just enjoy the New Year first."

Uncle Li Zhen was completely amazed by Li Yuan’s generosity, looking at him with immense gratitude.

However, giving each family 2 million for building houses and buying cars, wasn’t that too wasteful?

"Yuan, 2 million seems too much. Building a villa only costs three to four hundred thousand."

Li Yuan shook his head with a smile: "I have four cousins, each of them has their own family, so each one builds a villa."

"The remaining money can also be used to improve your lives, buy some nice clothes and shoes, so you won’t be looked down upon when you go to Modu."

Hearing Li Yuan’s thorough consideration, the whole family sincerely expressed their gratitude in various ways.

Big cousin Li Zichao already patted his chest and promised: "Yuan, rest assured, our whole family will fully support you and follow your arrangements. If you tell us to go east, I won’t go west. Although I only graduated from junior high and have no knowledge or insight, I still have some strength. From now on, my life is yours."

Second cousin Li Ziliang quickly followed up: "Me too. I graduated from an ordinary university and haven’t been doing well, so whatever you arrange, Yuan, is fine with me."
