"Hey, Xiao Li, I heard that you've made a lot of money lately, what kind of business are you doing?" My friend Xiao Wang was drinking beer in the bar and asked me curiously.
"Oh, I just invested in a small project, and I was lucky enough to earn 300,000. I smiled a little embarrassedly, still excited.
"300,000? I'll go, you really have the ability!" Xiao Wang said in surprise, "Does everyone in the family know? What do they think?"
I sighed, a little helpless on my face: "They don't know yet, and I don't know how to open this mouth." You know, my family has always had a weird attitude towards money. "
I think of my father-in-law and mother-in-law's attitude towards money, and they are always very cautious, for fear that money will affect the principles of life. My brother and daughter-in-law are the complete opposite, yearning for money so much that they reprimand us "poor relatives" at every turn. I love my family a lot, but sometimes it's hard for them to understand what I think.
"Actually, I made this money by investing in a small project in partnership with a few friends. I explained to Xiao Wang, with an excited look on my face, "I heard that this project was very profitable, and a few of us also put together a sum of money to invest in it." "
"Oh, what kind of project is so profitable?" Xiao Wang asked curiously.
"It's to make a new type of battery that can power mobile phones and tablets, and it's longer than ordinary batteries and environmentally friendly. I said with confidence, "This kind of battery is now in great demand, and we have seized the opportunity." "
Xiao Wang nodded clearly, and changed his words: "Then what are you going to do with this money? Save it or reinvest it?"
"The project has paid off, and we should find a way to scale it up. Xiao Zhang said as he sipped his coffee.
"Yes, we now have the technology and funds, and we need to promote it. Xiao Liu also agreed.
I nodded, with a serious look on my face: "We have to make long-term plans, first do enough in China to become bigger, and then consider the international market." "
We discussed and planned in detail the scale of investment, financing methods, personnel expansion and other issues. Of course, I have some concerns in my heart, but more importantly, I have confidence and hope for a successful career.
Over the next month, we put a lot of effort into implementing the plan we had made. Xiao Zhang and I are mainly responsible for capital and technology, while Xiao Liu is responsible for building a sales team and developing the market.
One day, I was discussing a new production plan with my employees, and Xiao Liu suddenly walked in with an excited face: "We have received a large number of orders in East China, and the production capacity is going to be increased!"
Finally, one weekend afternoon, I mustered up the courage to tell my family about the money. As the family sat around the table for lunch, I cleared my throat and said, "Dad, Mom, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I have something to tell you." "
Everyone looked at me suspiciously, I took a deep breath and continued: "Recently, I partnered with a few friends to do a project, invested a sum of money, and now I have a good return, I have earned 300,000. "
As soon as the words fell, my brother-in-law couldn't help but shout: "300,000 yuan, brother, how did you earn it?" She was so excited that she almost jumped.
My parents were overjoyed and praised me for my success. But the expressions of the father-in-law and mother-in-law were a little complicated, they were expressionless, as if they were weighing something.
"How did you make this money, and what kind of business did you do?" The father-in-law finally asked, his tone a little cold.
I told them the truth about the investment in the battery project, but the expressions of my father-in-law and mother-in-law became more and more serious.
"It's good to make money, but you can't do things that hurt nature. The mother-in-law frowned and said, "You have to think twice." "
I was a little confused and weak-hearted, but I still decided to stick to my thoughts: "Mom, this is just a small business, we are doing the project seriously, don't worry." "
The mother-in-law was unmoved: "I know you young people, who are always greedy for money and not calm enough. You save this money and stop investing it. "
"Mom, can't you support me once?" I was a little angry and said, "I'm not a kid anymore, why should I invest indiscriminately?"
"That's it, Mom, my brother is already such a big person, and you are still the same. The younger brother and daughter-in-law chimed in, "If you want me to say, my brother should invest this money well in order to really make a fortune." "
"Your sister-in-law is still young, so don't talk nonsense. The mother-in-law rebuked, "You young people are just too greedy, you only care about making money, but you have forgotten the principles of being a human being." "
My father-in-law's face was gloomy, and he looked at me and said, "Your mother is very reasonable, making money is a good thing, but you can't go against the principle of being a man." You're still young, don't bother with money, you'll regret it in the future. "
I was angry about this, I just felt that they just looked down on me and didn't support me. I glared at my father-in-law and mother-in-law fiercely, and stood up to leave.
"Brother, where are you going?" My brother-in-law shouted at me, "They're just too old-fashioned, don't be angry!"
I sulked and went home and lay in bed, my mind full of the words of my parents-in-law. I was very depressed, they just couldn't see my good intentions, they would just preach. I worked hard to earn this money, and I originally wanted to treat my family to a big dinner to celebrate, but I didn't expect to be treated like this by them.
Just when I was worried, my younger brother suddenly pushed the door and walked in, with an excited face: "Brother, I just discussed it with my brother and daughter-in-law, why don't you treat yourself, let's celebrate!"
"Brother, you leave them alone. The younger brother said, "They are the way of thinking of the older generation, and we young people should have our own opinions." Now that you have money, you should celebrate happily and not take it to heart. "
"Leave them alone, let them make their own decisions. My brother patted me on the shoulder, "Anyway, with me and my brother-in-law here, it's enough to be lively." "
"Mom, I'm going to invite everyone to a big dinner tomorrow, you and Dad must come. I said sincerely.
"What's the meal?" The mother-in-law said coldly on the other end of the phone, "Just to celebrate your money? "
"Good intentions, I think you're just blinded by money. The mother-in-law said, "You are a nouveau riche now, and your mind is full of money, and I don't want to participate in your celebrations." "
"Alright, you don't say any more. The mother-in-law hung up the phone ruthlessly.
I put my phone down and the tears finally rolled down. I know my mother-in-law has a weird temper, but what she said was so hurtful. I was full of joy and wanted to share this joy, but in exchange for her cynicism, I could no longer hold back the disappointment and sadness in my heart.
I threw myself on the table and cried aloud, letting the tears run freely. At this moment, my brother-in-law walked in, saw my appearance, and immediately stepped forward to comfort me: "Brother, what's wrong with you?
"Brother, let's not wait for them. My brother patted me on the shoulder, "It's okay if my mother-in-law doesn't come, she will say something nasty." "
"But, what about my father-in-law?" I looked at my father-in-law, who was sitting next to me, and he was expressionless, as if he didn't care about the feast.
"Dad, don't mind. My mother hurriedly comforted me, "My mother-in-law is old, and her temper is a little weird. You will accompany us and have a happy meal. "
I nodded, and toasted with everyone. But I couldn't be happy in my heart, and my father-in-law's cold expression has been haunting me.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was slightly interested. I plucked up my courage, walked up to my father-in-law, and cautiously asked, "Dad, aren't you really happy at all?" "
My father-in-law glanced up at me, his eyes were full of coldness: "It's good if you're happy, why do we old people still need these false names." "
"Alright, you don't say any more. The father-in-law said coldly, "We old people have this idea, and I can't persuade you young people." Just be happy, we old people really don't need this. "
After saying that, my father-in-law got up and left the box, leaving me alone. I looked at the back of my father-in-law leaving, and my heart was mixed. I thought the guild would support me, but I didn't think he was thinking the same as my mother-in-law.
In the middle of the banquet, my brother and daughter-in-law got drunk, suddenly stood up, and shouted at my father-in-law who was sitting next to me: "Father-in-law, you are just too much! My brother is so happy, why don't you bless him at all?"
The father-in-law was taken aback by his brother-in-law's actions, and his face showed a little anger: "Your sister-in-law is too tender and doesn't understand anything." "
"I'm just tender, but you're too old-fashioned!" The younger brother and daughter-in-law did not show weakness, "You are jealous of your brother's talent, jealous that he is richer than you, so you sneered at him!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you evil seed?" The father-in-law's face was completely gloomy.
"It's!" The younger brother and daughter-in-law were completely drunk, and they didn't choose to speak, "You are jealous that your brother has so much money at a young age, and I am afraid that he will be richer and more powerful than you in the future! You are a selfish old man with a small belly!"
"Shut up!" The father-in-law finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table hard, "You shut up for me!"
"Wife, you're drunk, stop talking nonsense. The younger brother said helplessly to his brother-in-law.
I watched this scene and was extremely depressed. I thought it would be a family reunion, but it turned into a family drama. My father-in-law's coldness and my brother-in-law's gaffes all hurt me deeply. I bowed my head silently, tears rolling in my eyes.
The banquet ended in a hurry, and everyone went home. I sat alone in the living room, my mind full of everything that had happened today. I couldn't understand why people reacted so much to me about making money, and I just wanted to make my family happy, but it caused such a violent conflict.
While I was deep in thought, my father walked in and sat down beside me.
"Son, don't be too upset. My father patted me on the shoulder, "Father-in-law, they are people of that era, and they are more conservative, so you don't have to worry too much." "
"But Dad, it's really hard for me to understand them. I sighed, "I earned this money, and I wanted to celebrate it, but in exchange for their cynicism, it's really incomprehensible." "
The father was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law have experienced too many hardships, so they have always been very cautious about money. They are afraid that we will be deceived by money and do something wrong. "
"I understand their good intentions, but I'm doing serious business. I said with some confusion.
"Your father-in-law, they're just too cautious. The father continued, "However, what your brother and sister-in-law said is too much. Although the father-in-law and they are a little complacent, they have good intentions towards you, but the expression is a little blunt. "
I nodded thoughtfully, and I was slightly relieved. It turns out that all this is caused by the generation gap and different concepts. I secretly resolved that we must resolve such contradictions so that everyone can understand each other.
"Son, what are you looking for from us?" The mother-in-law asked as soon as she entered the door.
"Mom, actually, I just wanted to talk about your thoughts on my money-making business. I said sincerely, "Are you still unacceptable?"
"It's certainly not that we can't accept that you make money. The father-in-law spoke slowly, "It's just that we are afraid that you will be carried away by money and do something wrong." "
"Then you can rest assured. I quickly explained, "I do serious business, and I'm not fooled by money, I just want everyone to live a better life." "
Looking at my parents-in-law's serious faces, I took a deep breath and decided to explain my thoughts honestly again.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I can understand your thoughts. You've been through so much that you've always been cautious about money. But times are advancing, and so should our way of life. "
"Making money is important, but it is more important to have the right values and principles of life. The reason why I invested in this project was not to blindly pursue money, but to see its prospects and social value. I pointed to the sample battery on the table and continued, "You see, this battery is not only environmentally friendly and durable, but it can also help people save a lot of money, and it is also good for society." The reason why I did this project is to bring tangible benefits to everyone. "
My parents-in-law looked suspicious, but they still listened patiently to my end. Seeing this, I hurriedly added: "And the money I earn is not for personal gain, but to give our family a better life." You've worked hard all your life, and it's time to enjoy your family. "
Speaking of which, I saw that the expressions of my parents-in-law finally eased a little. I was secretly glad and continued to talk.
"So you don't have to worry at all, everything I'm doing is for everyone's good. I will firmly guard the bottom line and never do anything wrong. Don't worry, and give me a chance to prove myself with practical actions!"
After some sincere explanation, the parents-in-law finally nodded, and the smile appeared on their faces again.
"yes, you have a point. The father-in-law slowly spoke, "Our older generation is more conservative and has always stayed away from money. But you young people have to look forward and keep up with the times. "
"As long as you can keep in mind the principles of being a human being, making money is also a good thing. The mother-in-law also nodded again and again, "Since you have this determination, we will give you a chance to see how far you can go in your career." "
When my parents-in-law finally understood me, I was so happy that I almost burst into tears. The generational gap seems to have finally been bridged, and we have reached an unprecedented consensus.
"Thank you, parents-in-law, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I said excitedly, "I will use my own practical actions to prove that making money is not terrible, the key is to make money in the right way." "
"Well, it's good to have this awareness. The father-in-law nodded, a relieved smile on his face, "As long as you can match your words with your deeds, we have nothing to worry about." "
In this way, we reached a consensus in a peaceful atmosphere. Since then, my family has finally stopped opposing my career, but silently supported and encouraged me. I was also relieved that I no longer had to be estranged from my family about making money.
With the support of my parents-in-law, I have made good progress in my career. However, I did not rest on my laurels and gradually set my sights on the international market.
"Brother, are you really going to set your sights on the international market?" One day, my brother suddenly came to my office and asked with a little surprise.
"Yes, the domestic market has been almost done, and we should march into a broader world. I said with confidence.
The younger brother nodded thoughtfully: "Then you have to be fully prepared." The international market is a fallen area, and you have to have enough money and manpower and material resources. "
"Don't worry, I'm ready. I took out a document from the drawer and handed it to my brother, "You see, this is our latest development plan, whether it is funds, technology, or personnel reserves, we have done our homework. "
The younger brother looked at the document carefully, nodded and praised: "Yes, very professional planning." As long as the implementation is in place, I am sure that you will soon be able to gain a firm foothold in the international market. "
"That's nature. I smiled, my face full of confidence, "With the understanding and support of my family, I will be able to do anything." "
Yes, with the support of my family, I was able to move forward so confidently. I remember that a few months ago, my parents-in-law were still negative about my career. Now, they not only fully understand and support me, but even cheer me on. The same goes for my parents and younger brother, who have long regarded my career as their own and are always watching its development.
It is precisely because of such a harmonious family as a strong backing that I can devote myself to my career without any worries. With the understanding and support of my family, any difficulties are no longer difficult for me. I am not only able to get my career to where I am today, but I am also grateful for the support of my family.
In this way, with the understanding and support of my family, my business grew bigger and bigger, and eventually became an internationally renowned battery manufacturer. And our harmonious family is more united as a result. We understand and support each other, and we interpret the true meaning of family with our actions.
