talk to Mohan about earning lakhs of rupees from their
branches, and then looking for new locations in the town.

When Mohan told him he wanted his parents to move to
Lucknow, Gopal did not know how to react. It was too
soon for him. He asked Mohan how he would support
them also in Lucknow.

“I have made a decent profit in this one year,” Mohan said.
“I think, in some time, I can ask my parents to consider
shifting to Lucknow.”

“But isn’t it too soon?” Gopal asked. “How much profit
have you made? I cannot afford to bring my parents here.
I have barely earned any money this year. Isn’t it early for
a business to start earning profits?”

“Well Gopal,” Mohan said, “I have managed to save a bit.
I can now shift into a bigger house as well. What are you
planning to do?”

“I have no plans to shift my family here yet! And I cannot
afford a bigger place! How will I pay rent for this place
alone?” he said, getting angry with Mohan.

“Of course, Gopal, I won’t shift till you can earn some
more money,” Mohan replied while keeping his hand on
Gopal’s shoulder.
