My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo: "..."

At this moment, he wanted to kill someone.

He really wanted to question Bi Yan about how he could talk about 60 million as if it were 6,000 yuan. Did he really think he, the boss, was a money-printing machine?

"No money!"

Hearing Lin Mo's answer, Bi Yan's face turned bitter. "Boss, stop pretending. How could you possibly be broke?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the gate of the Lin family manor, "If all else fails, let's sell this gate. Even if it's a fire sale, this gate can still fetch at least 100 million, which is definitely enough for our advertising expenses."

Lin Mo's expression was incredibly interesting, and his breathing became uncontrollably heavy.

Selling gates?

This method...

It's amazing that Bi Yan could come up with this!

Meeting Lin Mo's gaze, Bi Yan felt a little guilty. In fact, he knew that his suggestion was very malicious, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just saying. It's not that we have to sell the gate. Anyway, whatever method the boss uses, as long as we can make up for the 60 million shortfall in advertising expenses, it's fine."

At this point, he instantly became confident, and his voice rose considerably. "Boss, don't worry about anything. The shortfall of 60 million in advertising expenses is the last investment. As long as the advertising is done well, our portable air conditioners will definitely sell like hotcakes."

"Given the profit margin of portable air conditioners, the initial investment can be recouped quickly. In short, our Moyu Technology will definitely make money, and we will definitely make a lot of money."

Lin Mo tried hard to control his emotions, "I didn't know you could make money like this?"

Bi Yan reached out his hand, "So... when will you give me the 60 million?"

"..."

An awkward silence fell instantly.

A few seconds later, Bi Yan spoke again: "Boss, say something."

"say what?"

Lin Mo gritted his teeth and questioned, "Why didn't you set aside some funds for advertising before you spent the money? Now that you know you don't have enough money, what were you doing before?"

Bi Yan looked left and right, his eyes darting around, and said, "It's not my fault that we don't have enough money. Every penny I spend is necessary. It's just that the boss doesn't give me enough money. What can I do?"

Lin Mo broke down. "Didn't I give you enough? Brother Bi, put your hand on your heart. That's three hundred million in cash! You call three hundred million too little?"

Bi Yan blushed, his face etched with innocence. "Boss, 300 million is indeed a lot of money, but we are a technology company after all. Technology companies are destined to have a lot of initial investment. So, looking at it this way, 300 million is just average."

Upon hearing the adjective "mediocre," Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, and after a long while, he managed to utter a sentence, "Alright, I understand. You can go back now, let me think of a solution."

Bi Yan smiled knowingly, "Thank you, boss. You're very generous!"

That's why he personally delivered the portable air conditioner; the reason can be summed up in two words.

Want money!

Chapter 773 The Two-Word Purpose

After watching Bi Yan drive away, Lin Mo stood there, feeling troubled.

Sixty million?

This amount isn't much, but it's definitely not small either!

Lin Mo certainly doesn't have the money right now, and he just said he wouldn't be a freeloader, so he absolutely can't bring himself to ask his mother for money.

The only way is to earn it.

It's not impossible to earn 60 million in a short period of time.

He currently has 67 million followers on his social media account. With that number of followers, any advertisement or endorsement he gets would easily be worth tens of millions.

However, accepting high-profile roles and endorsements would damage public perception and lower the brand's image.

Advertising expenses...

Lin Mo's thoughts raced, and soon his eyes lit up.

Since it's a publicity expense, what other expenses are needed as long as he gets the publicity done?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo revealed a malicious smile.

A few minutes later, he carried the portable air conditioner into the living room on the first floor of the main building. The people who were still chatting all looked at Lin Mo, and when they saw the stack of boxes in Lin Mo's arms, their eyes were filled with curiosity.

Of course, this doesn't include An Youyu; she knew what was inside the box the moment she saw it.

Lin Shu waved to her son, "Xiao Mo, what are you holding?"

"Some low-class gadgets."

Lin Mo came over to the sofa, placed ten portable air conditioners on the coffee table, and shamelessly squeezed past Lin Xue to sit next to An Youyu.

Lin Xue's lips twitched, and she said sarcastically, "Since it's just a cheap trinket that can't be presented in public, why keep it here?"

Lin Mo chuckled, "Sister Xue, these are small items made by my company. They're not available on the market right now, so I had some delivered. You and Grandma can use them, but don't give them away. The product hasn't been advertised yet, so we need to keep it a secret for now."

Xu Yanshu had heard from her youngest daughter that her grandson had started his own technology company, but she had never taken it too seriously.

After all, what can an eighteen-year-old do?

"Xiao Mo, Grandma has something to tell you."

"Grandma, please tell me."

"Actually, you don't need to start a business. As the only male descendant of the Lin family, the Lin family will definitely be handed over to you in the future. Our Lin family is not short of money."

People say that the biggest advantage of the children of the rich is that they don't start their own businesses, and in fact, this statement is not just empty talk.

If you are wealthy enough, you really shouldn't start a business.

Starting a business is risky; the probability of losing money is much greater than the probability of making money. Instead of using the money to start a business, it's better to improve your knowledge and skills, become more outstanding, and take over the family business in the future.

Upon hearing her grandmother's words, Lin Mo immediately understood the underlying meaning and earnestly explained, "Grandma, I understand what you mean, but starting a technology company is not a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"I know a lot about the technology field, which is my specialty. Although entertainment is currently excessive, the entertainment era cannot last forever. What goes up must come down. After the entertainment era ends, the technology era will inevitably take its place."

"As one of the three super-grade families, the number of level 10 martial artists in our Lin family is a hard power, while our economy is a soft power. Both are indispensable. If the Lin family wants to maintain its current superior status, transformation is inevitable."

"In other words, the Lin family must take the path of technology."

Lin Mo paused for two seconds, then continued, "Since the family will have to go down this path sooner or later, why not let my grandson wade through the waters first and test the waters? That way, even if I take over the Lin family in the future, I can lead the family to develop better. What do you think?"

Xu Yanshu made no attempt to hide her surprise. "Xiao Mo, you figured all of this out yourself?"

Such vision and thinking are truly top-notch.

Eighteen years old, still very young.

Based on the analysis just now, let alone an eighteen-year-old child, even those old foxes who are well-versed in business might not be able to see it so clearly.

Previously, her husband had considered gradually transforming the Lin family business towards technology.

But after thinking it over, he felt it was too risky and eventually gave up the idea.

Now, Xu Yanshu heard similar words from her grandson again. Compared to her husband, her grandson was more certain, with no hesitation in his expression, only an innate confidence.

Lin Mo pursed his lips imperceptibly and replied irrelevantly, "Grandma, just take it as me talking nonsense. However, the company will continue to operate. Now that we've taken the first step, we have to see it through to the end."

At this point, he chuckled and said, "Even if we don't succeed in the end, we can just consider it a lesson learned. Anyway, we're rich, so this loss won't bother us."

Xu Yanshu gave her grandson a meaningful look, then her gaze fell on her eldest daughter.

Lin Shu noticed her mother's gaze and smiled smugly, "How about it? Isn't the son I raised amazing?"

Xu Yanshu couldn't help but laugh. "I have to say, Xiao Mo's business acumen is absolutely top-notch. He's so young and smart. Tsk, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to take good care of Xiao Mo on your own. I didn't expect that you, who are usually so unreliable, would be so good at raising a son!"

Hearing her mother's praise, Lin Shu smiled even more happily, "Of course."

"cut--"

Lin Xue curled her lip and couldn't help but speak up, "What does Xiao Mo's excellence have to do with you? Sister Shu, have some shame, okay?"

Lin Shu glanced at her, and Lin Xue immediately shut her mouth obediently.

"Hmph! My son whom I raised, so what? Shouldn't I, as his mother, be proud of him?"

"It had nothing to do with you in the first place..."

Hearing Lin Xue's mutterings, Lin Shu kicked her in annoyance, "Are you very resentful that Mom praised me?"

"That's right, I'm not convinced!"

"Fine, if you're so capable, give birth to a son. I guarantee your son will be no match for mine!"

Lin Xue wanted to argue, but she hadn't even found a boyfriend yet, so she didn't even have the right to argue. Helplessly, she waved her hand and said, "Fine, fine, you're good at raising sons, is that alright?"

Watching her two daughters bicker, Xu Yanshu chuckled inwardly. "Can't you two, as a mother and an aunt, be a little more composed in front of the younger generation?"

Lin Shu immediately shifted the blame, "Mom, you saw it yourself, it was Xiaoxue who provoked me first, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Xue rolled her eyes. "Mom, what aunt? Xiao Mo and Yu'er call me sister. I'm still so young, I don't want to be an aunt."

Xu Yanshu raised her hand and tapped her youngest daughter on the head, "Your seniority is right here. You think you can just say you don't want to be one anymore? I've already spoiled you by agreeing to let Xiao Mo and Yu'er call you 'sister,' so don't take advantage of it!"

Lin Xue chuckled twice, "No, no."

Xu Yanshu turned to Lin Shu and asked, "Xiao Shu, you've raised Xiao Mo to be so outstanding. You must be very strict with him, right? Come on, tell me how you raised Xiao Mo."

"cough--"

Lin Shu was instantly embarrassed.

Normally, the conversation should end after praising her!

Why are you asking more questions?

Lin Mo's lips twitched, his expression clearly showing that he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Knowing the inside story, An Youyu silently lowered her head, her eyes filled with boundless laughter.

"This one……"

"What's there to be embarrassed about saying?"

"Mom, actually... there's nothing special about it. The principle of raising a son as a daughter can be summed up in two words."

"Which two words?"

"Raise your child in poverty".
