"Sasha may not know much, but these manufacturers certainly do. If you contact them and ask for referrals, do you think they''ll help you?" I asked.


    Eric hesitated for a moment. Everyone was trying to capitalize on the trend by producing more to earn more money. Moreover, the more people who knew about it and discussed it, the longer the trend wouldst and the more money everyone could make.


    So, they would likely be willing to introduce their peers.


    Eric said excitedly, "I got it! I''ll contact them right away!"


    "Good," I replied lightheartedly.


    Eric took his job very seriously, proactively contacting the manufacturers, exining the pros and cons, and then asking them to introduce other manufacturers.


    Everyone was very enthusiastic-within a few minutes, Eric had obtained at least ten phone numbers.


    He called each number one by one, exining our needs to the potential partners.


    To reassure them, Eric mentioned who had referred them and emphasized their close cooperation with that person.


    After confirming the information, the potential partners felt morefortable working with Eric.


    Eric also exined our requirement to produce as much as possible while maintaining quality.


    These factories were on the verge of closing down, so they were eager to seize the opportunity. They immediately notified their employees toe to work the next day.


    Afterpleting all these tasks, Eric called to give me a detailed report.


    I listened calmly, then said, "Of the profits, n to keep 20% for you as we agreed. I''m thinking of donating another 20% For the


    using part of it to improve our manufacturers'' benefits. What do you think?"


    remaining 60% considering


    Eric was taken aback. He thought people were usually selfish and that I was only willing to share theic book profits because of Zane''s. instructions after all, Zane was known for treating employees well. Eric hadn''t expected me to be so generous with my project.


    I continued, musing aloud, "Should I allocate 30% or 40% for the workers? Keeping 30% for myself would be nice, but with 20%, we could really boost everyone''spensation."


    Eric chuckled and replied, "I think 30% would be more than enough."


    He even started to wonder if his cut was too high.


    "Let''s go with 40% for the workers. 20% is plenty for me to do what I need," I concluded.


    With next month''s paycheck, I''d finally be able to set aside enough for Mom''s retirement fund.


    After a long pause, Eric replied, "All right."


    With that, he hung up.


    Willow climbed into myp and murmured, "Mommy, you work so hard."


    My heart melted at her sweet, understanding nature. I gently stroked her head. "It''s not hard work when it pays off."


    After I pulled her close, I nuzzled her cheek. "You know thosedies we had dinnerwith? Theyte happy earning a few hundred thousand. dors a month. But with my two jobsbined, I can make millions of dors."


    Willow''s eyes seemed to have lit up when she heard that. "Are you that amazing?" she asked.
