Chapter 1720: It’s been hard on you
“His bad luck is secondary. The key is that the children in the orphanage have no place to live now. They’re renting an attic that’s more than 300 square meters. It’s crowded, and it can’t go on like this!” “How much does it cost to rebuild an orphanage?” Lin Yi asked.
“Shu’s not too sure about that, but if the land is our own, we’ll only be left with the construction fees. Shield bro, you can ask fatty Lai, wasn’t he a construction specialist?” Chen Yushu reminded.
“Yeah, I’ll ask him.” Lin Yi said as he called fatty Lai.
“Boss? You’re back?” Fatty Lai was one of the well-informed ones, so he had heard about house Yu’s fall. He was also happy to know that house Kang’s application to become a Noble House had failed. With that, house Kang had no more competition.
House Lai would also rise in status like this, and his name would become more and more well-known as well. After all, he was Lin Yi’s follower. Lai Changyi had expected this day to come! Right now, he had an advantage over any of the noble houses, because he was one of the first few followers of Lin Yi!
“Not yet, I’m on the way.” “There’s something I want to ask you,”Lin Yi said.” I want to build an orphanage, and with the land, how much would it cost?”
“Ah?” Fatty Lai blinked. He didn’t understand why Lin Yi would ask this, but he answered truthfully,”Building an orphanage depends on what it’s like. If we build a bigger one, it’ll be like a school. For example, the orphanages in big cities have dormitories, activity rooms, libraries, and so on. Some even have their own kindergarten, primary school, and secondary school. If all these are built together, the cost will be at least 100 million. Of course, if all the facilities are purchased, it will be at least 200 million!”
“So many?” Lin Yi asked, surprised.
“Of course, if it’s just to build a very ordinary orphanage for the orphans to live and eat, a few million Yuan would be enough.” “The thing is, boss, what do you want to build …” Fatty Lai said.
“If we want to build this, we naturally have to do it in one step and build it better!” Lin Yi heard fatty Lai’s bid and felt his head throb. Two hundred million? How could there be so much money? but thinking about it, if what fatty Lai said was true, and all the facilities were built, the entire orphanage would be no less than a small University. It would indeed require a lot of money! But he didn’t want to just rebuild it as it was.
…
“Actually, we don’t need that much. We can take it step by step and build it slowly. For those that are not necessary for the time being, such as the Computer Center, library, Stadium, and other more expensive facilities, we won’t invest in them for the time being. If we just build dormitories and cafeterias, a few million will be enough. If we have our own land, we don’t even need this money!” “But the beds, tables, and all the other facilities would cost at least five million,” fatty Lai said.
“Do you still have any money?” Lin Yi asked.
“I can definitely take out a few million. If it’s too much, it will affect the company’s operations.” Fatty Lai said.
“Forget it, I’ll think of a way myself!” Lin Yi had spent a hundred million on the Ice Palace test, and fatty Lai’s side was a bit tight on money. Plus, the medicine company was still developing at a high speed-he couldn’t do without money.
“Boss … This … I’m really embarrassed to let you think of a way yourself …” Fatty Lai was a little embarrassed.
“It’s okay, I understand your difficulties. ” Lin Yi wondered where he was going to get two hundred million from. Although they were asking to borrow from the noble houses, and any Noble House would lend them money, it would still make people think that Lin Yi was blackmailing them.
Lin Yi thought about it and thought of the old man. He’d earned quite a bit of money from missions a few years ago, right? It was at least a few hundred million, and Lin Yi felt that he should ask the old man for some.
He dialed the old man’s phone, and old Lin’s lazy voice came from the other side.””Yi, what’s the matter? Have you settled everything over there?”
“Yeah, it’s all settled. I called to borrow some money from you.” Lin Yi said.
“Borrow money? No, I don ‘t. ” Old Lin said straightforwardly.
“No? Where did the money I earned from the missions I carried out go? Don’t tell me that there’s really only a few tens of Yuan for a mission!” Lin Yi found old Lin’s words both funny and annoying.”I didn’t want to argue with you before, but I really have something to do now …”
“Wait a moment, I have something to send you.” Old Lin didn’t answer Lin Yi’s question.
“Oh?” Lin Yi was just about to ask something when old Lin hung up.
Not long after, Lin Yi received a message on his phone. He opened it and saw a bunch of pictures of bills. Lin Yi enlarged it and looked at it carefully. It was some donation receipts and money transfer bills … Lin Yi was a little silent when he saw this!
It seemed that all these years, old Lin had donated all his money to charity. Thinking about how stingy old Lin was at home, Lin Yi’s heart ached. He’d misunderstood the old man before, thinking that he was stingy to death, not spending money but making him earn money by making straw sandals!
But now it seemed that old Lin himself really didn’t enjoy anything at all! The money he used to raise Lin Yi was probably all earned from his medical service in the village, and his medical services were almost all free. He only earned a little when he bought medicine. It wasn’t easy to raise Lin Yi with this income!
Lin Yi sighed and quietly called back.
“You’ve received it?” Old Lin asked directly.
“En, it’s been hard on you all these years.” Lin Yi said.
“Haha, this is nothing.” “What do you want the money for?” old Lin smiled.
“It’s similar to what you’re doing. One of my orphanages has caught fire. I want to rebuild it and make it a first-class orphanage.” “That’s why I need some money,”Lin Yi said.
“So that’s how it is.” “You still want to carry out the mission?” old Lin asked. It’s a fast way to earn money. If you want, I can help you look for one!”
“Alright!” Lin Yi gritted his teeth and agreed.”Help me keep an eye out. If there’s a mission, you can introduce it to me, but it’s best not to go far.”
“I’ll take a look for you. I might not have this. If I do, I’ll contact you again.” Old Lin said.
Lin Yi hung up and shook his head. He thought that he’d already left the world of martial arts, but he didn’t expect to have to take on missions again. (To be continued.)
