Chapter 417 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
After seeing the situation clearly, Lin Jinxiu did not invest money into it, but quit while she was ahead and rented out the shop she had earned. She then used the rent money to continue expanding the business of Xiuyunlou.
Lin Jinxiu divided the cash on hand into three parts according to the proportion of the invested funds. She kept her own part and returned the part to Madam Shen together with the principal and interest.
As for Lin Chuyi's share, based on Lin Jinxiu's understanding of Lin Chuyi, her younger sister would definitely not charge her interest, so she prepared 10,000 taels of silver for Lin Chuyi, and the dividend part was converted into a shop and directly transferred to Lin Chuyi. In this way, even if the second sister did not accept it, she could not refuse it.
When Lin Chuyi received the 10,000 taels of silver note and several shop deeds handed over by Lin Jinxiu, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. She understood why Lin Jinxiu did this.
Compared with her own assets, these shops are just a drop in the bucket, but considering the capital she invested, the return on this investment has far exceeded her expectations.
This shows that Lin Jinxiu is indeed very business-savvy and made a fortune in this opportunity. Moreover, Lin Jinxiu treats her as a sister sincerely, otherwise she would not have given her so many shops at once for fear that she would not accept them. All of them are shops with good locations in the new city area and great potential for appreciation.
Lin Jinxiu had already done this, and if Lin Chu refused again, it would hurt their sisterly relationship. She happily accepted the money and the deed, and said half-jokingly: "If I had known that this was so profitable, I should have invested more. Big sister, next time there is such a thing, don't forget me, your sister. I will definitely support you wholeheartedly."
Lin Jinxiu naturally agreed.
Having tasted the feeling of taking off once, he wanted to try it a second and third time. So in the days that followed, Lin Jinxiu ran the business of Xiuyunlou while keeping an eye on the real-time developments in the city.
Once he discovered a business opportunity, he would act decisively and make a lot of money with Lin Chuyi and Shen Niangzi, and his own net worth also rose accordingly.
Even though the development speed of Xiu Yun Lou slowed down in the following years, its status in Qingzhou City was completely consolidated. When talking about double-sided embroidery, everyone's first reaction would definitely be Xiu Yun Lou. For those who want to buy this kind of embroidery, Xiu Yun Lou would definitely be their first choice.
The formation of this concept brought a lot of big business to Xiuyunlou, allowing Lin Jinxiu and Shen Niangzi to make a fortune and become a model of women's entrepreneurship. In addition to Xiuyunlou, which is an open business, Lin Jinxiu has also invested in many industries. As long as it is a project she is interested in, there is basically no loss of money, only the difference in how much money can be earned.
Lin Chuyi did not always appear by Lin Jinxiu's side, and had no idea what kind of businesses Lin Jinxiu had.
However, based on the information Lin Jinxiu occasionally revealed and the dividends distributed to her over the years, Lin Chuyi estimated that the total value of Lin Jinxiu's current industries should be tens of millions of taels.
After reaching this conclusion, Lin Chuyi himself was a little surprised. You know, Lin Jinxiu doesn't have any plug-ins like prophet, all she has is a talent for business detected by the system.
It just so happens that she relied on this elusive talent to successfully predict the market trends and accumulated so much wealth for herself in just a few years. One can't help but sigh at the importance of talent and the development of talent.
Compared with Lin Jinxiu's thriving career, her relationship seems not so smooth.
Many people were attracted by Lin Jinxiu's character, appearance, and the wealth she had created, and asked matchmakers to come to her house to propose marriage. Some even said that as long as Lin Jinxiu agreed to establish a marriage between the two families, he would be willing to marry into her family.
Such things happened more and more frequently as Lin Jinxiu grew older, looked better, and her career became more successful, but without exception, she rejected them all.
When Lin Chuyi returned home, she happened to encounter this situation twice. She learned from the housekeeper that this kind of thing happened frequently, so she sent people to check the family background and character of those who came to propose marriage. She found that most of them had ulterior motives, and only a few were truly seeking marriage. Moreover, in Lin Chuyi's opinion, these few people also had their own shortcomings. In a nutshell, they were not worthy of her elder sister.
Seeing that Lin Jinxiu didn't take these people seriously, Lin Chuyi didn't pay any attention to them. She just instructed the housekeeper at home that next time such things happened, there was no need to welcome people in, but to send them away directly at the door, so as to avoid giving people a chance to talk and tarnishing her elder sister's reputation.
The housekeeper did as Lin Chuyi wanted, and afterwards several matchmakers were given face by the people in the Lin family.
After several attempts, those who intended to get rich overnight and have both beauty and wealth realized that there was no hope, so they changed their strategy. They no longer sent matchmakers to their homes, but instead tried every means to create an encounter with Lin Jinxiu, hoping to win her favor first and then talk about marriage.
Lin Jinxiu had worked in the store for several years and had seen all kinds of people. She saw through their thoughts at a glance and didn't want to have anything to do with them, so she spent money to buy a few strong guards to follow her every day. With the guards around, people with ulterior motives could not get close to Lin Jinxiu at all.
There were some who were not afraid of death and still wanted to provoke Lin Jinxiu. Lin Jinxiu asked someone to beat them up. They beat them until they were bruised and swollen. Then they sent them to the clinic. After they were cured with medicine, they were caught again and beaten up, and then continued to treat them.
This happened three times, and the man felt that Lin Jinxiu was a devil with a kind face but a wicked heart. He was filled with fear from the bottom of his heart and dared not even think about Lin Jinxiu anymore.
After Lin Jinxiu finished her "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" drama, all her admirers who had been pursuing her fanatically backed off, allowing her to finally live a quiet life for some time.
When Lin Cheng and Lin Wuyou came back from the academy and learned about this, they were very surprised and felt very happy.
They had long wanted to deal with those ignorant people who were daydreaming of trying to take advantage of others, but due to their eldest sister's teachings, they had never dared to take any action.
Now that the eldest sister herself couldn't stand being attacked, they didn't need to have any scruples anymore. They said that if anyone dared to harass Lin Jinxiu again, they would take action themselves and let that group of people know how powerful they were.
Lin Jinxiu was a little amused and just said that they were still young and just let them study hard. She would handle her own affairs.
No one knew what Lin Jinxiu had done, but since that incident, no matchmaker had come to their house again.
At first, Lin Cheng and Lin Wuyou thought it was a good thing. As long as their eldest sister didn't get married, she could always be with them. But as they grew older, they became more sensible and realized that they couldn't use family ties to bind their eldest sister for her whole life.
