Chapter 0809 – Old Man’s Request
After sending away Fatty Ma and Song Jun, Zhuang Rui sat back in the courtyard and pondered alone.
According to the relationship between himself and the Song family, this investment, it should be a sure thing, but for Zhuang Rui to put more than two billion dollars into it all at once, he still needed to think it over.
“Hm? Who’s calling?”
Suddenly, Zhuang Rui’s cell phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, but there was no caller ID.
“Hello, who is it?” Zhuang Rui picked up the phone.
“May I ask if this is Zhuang Rui? The Chief wants to talk to you on the phone.”
An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone, and after Zhuang Rui agreed, the phone seemed to be handed over to another person.
“Xiao Rui, this is Great Uncle.”
Ouyang Zhenshan’s majestic voice came out from the phone.
“Great uncle? Why are you …… you free to call me? What is it?”
As soon as Zhuang Rui heard that it was Ouyang Zhenshan, he couldn’t help but stand up with his cell phone, maybe it was because of the relatively low contact? Compared to the old man of the Ouyang family, Zhuang Rui was more terrified of this current head of the Ouyang family.
Although the great uncle would come to the courtyard for a meal every other seven or eight days, he had never called Zhuang Rui in private, which made Zhuang Rui feel a bit flattered.
“Well, there’s not much going on, that kid from the Song family went to look for you, right?”
“Yeah! Just sent Song away, big uncle, what’s wrong?”
Zhuang Rui was a bit puzzled and huffed a bit, after hearing his great uncle’s words, how come he seemed to have a feeling that he was being watched ah?
Ouyang Zhenshan doesn’t care what Zhuang Rui will have in mind, said on the phone, “He gave you something to say, you can agree to it, if the money is not enough, go to find Xiaojun to ask for it.”
“Wait, big uncle, what’s going on here?”
The more Zhuang Rui listens, the more confused he gets, but is it just a business? Although the investment wasn’t small, but with an amount of more than two billion dollars, I’m afraid it wasn’t enough for a Politburo Standing Committee member to ask about it, right?
“The old man ordered, you just do it, remember, to 10% of the share ah!”
Ouyang Zhenshan did not say much, after explaining the matter, directly hung up the phone, there is a meeting to be held in a while, he does not have so much time to explain to Zhuang Rui to go.
To be honest, Ouyang Zhenshan on the old man’s decision, the heart is quite a bit unimpressed, although he is extremely loving little sister, but do not want to let their nephew, involved in these investments related to the national strategic reserves.
Although this is very fast money, but the attention will be particularly much, want to let Zhuang Rui make money, the domestic more than the project, perhaps may not earn so much, but also should be enough to Zhuang Rui with a lifetime.
Just Ouyang Zhenshan does not know, Zhuang Rui even if it is now not doing anything, all day lobster abalone eating, his money is also enough to use a few lifetimes, make money for the current Zhuang Rui, more just the pursuit of a sense of personal fulfillment.
The reason why let Zhuang Rui participate in this investment, in fact, is not Ouyang old man’s idea, this is just the Song family old man, change the relative Zhuang Rui a kind of return only.
“So that’s what happened.”
Zhuang Rui after hearing the words of the eldest uncle, the heart also understand a few points, dare to be those two old men to make things, may be feeling favored by the younger generation, some embarrassed right?
After figuring out the original cause of the matter, Zhuang Rui’s heart put down, since it is the old man to send money to himself, that there is no reason not to, I’m afraid to do things with the old man’s hegemony, don’t not.
Zhuang Rui turned out the phone is ready to give the Song family dialed over, but thought for a moment, or the phone put away, wait for tomorrow and then reply to Song Jun is not too late.
Just as Zhuang Rui stood up and prepared to go back to see his daughter-in-law, Peng Fei led a person through the corridor of the center courtyard and came over, looking at Zhuang Rui in a daze.
“Dad? Why didn’t you say something first when you came!”
The person Peng Fei accompanied in was Zhuang Rui’s Taishan Lord Qin Haoran, and Zhuang Rui hurriedly greeted him.
“It was an impromptu decision, it just so happened that there was something to talk to you about, so I came over.”
Qin Haoran should have just gotten off the airplane, a dusty look, and also did not bring any luggage, came with empty hands.
“It can’t be that he misses his mother-in-law, right?”
Zhuang Rui made up a sentence in his heart about his old father-in-law, from the time when Qin Xuan Bing was five months pregnant, Fang Yi had rushed over from Hong Kong, and had been living here in Zhuang Rui, taking care of Qin Xuan Bing together with Ouyang Wan.
So Zhuang Rui feel the old man to come, may be want to mother-in-law, said the middle-aged people, also need to “sex” life ah!
This would have been in the house of Ouyang Wan and other people, also saw Qin Haoran, rushed out to greet up, Qin Xuan Bing is quite a big belly to the center of the courtyard, and a burst of hilarity.
It seems that Qin Haoran really something, Zhuang Rui originally thought that the old father-in-law will first go to rest, and mother-in-law to make out some, did not expect to see the in-laws mother, Qin Haoran pulled him to the backyard compartment to go.
However, both Fang Yi and Qin Xuan Bing were also sitting next to each other, as for Ouyang Wan, she intentionally stepped aside, she could see that Qin Haoran seemed to have something to say to his son.
“Dad, if there’s anything, just make a phone call, why are you still making a personal trip?”
Zhuang Rui poured a cup of hot tea for his old husband, Beijing in December is already cold and windy, apparently Qin Haoran is a bit unaccustomed to this side of the weather, after sitting down, he also used his mouth to breathe into his hands.
“Just happened to come to see Bing’er, by the way, I’ll tell you something.”
Qin Haoran drank a mouthful of tea, and then said, “Originally, Bing’er is pregnant, this thing doesn’t want you to go, but the oldest three just had an accident, the oldest two are not competitive, your mom is a woman’s family, it’s also not good to show your face, the old man doesn’t get involved in the management of the company for many years, this thing really needs to let you run a trip.”
Zhuang Rui listened to his old husband’s words, it seems that there is something he wants to do, he quickly said, “Dad, what is it! You say it directly!”
Other people have married their daughters to themselves, so it’s only natural to help the old man do something.
Fang Yi didn’t seem to know Qin Haoran’s intention before, but after listening to his words, as if she understood, she opened her mouth and interrupted Zhuang Rui, saying, “Haoran, can’t we let the second one go? Look at Xuan Bing’s stomach, at most two months before labor, how can Xiao Rui not be around? The second is no longer good, it is also your own brother, do not let him do anything, it is not allowed to say that he will still have ideas in his heart!”
Qin Haoran sighed and said, “Alas, the oldest two went to Macau some time ago, lost nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars, was grounded by our father, and even if this is not the case, let him go I do not feel at ease ah! Who knows if he will take the money and go gambling again?”
Zhuang Rui was staggered at the side, this Qin family’s second son is really a loser ah! Losing a hundred million dollars in one loss, no wonder the old man would rather run to Beijing to find himself than let his own brother do something.
“It’s like this, this year the mainland canceled the import tax on diamonds, there are a lot of diamond merchants in the country, are going directly to South Africa to buy diamonds, due to the price they give is slightly higher, the original belongs to our share, now a lot less.”
After listening to Qin Haoran’s explanation, Zhuang Rui understood, it turned out to be after the mainland canceled the diamond tax, those who were originally dependent on the Hong Kong company’s businessmen, have set up their own business, directly and those international diamond suppliers to contact.
Chinese people do business, there is a very bad characteristic, that is, mutual price, and those international diamond suppliers, naturally, who gives the price is high, to whom the supply.
The origin of diamonds is just a few places, the annual output of diamonds, but also have a number, so that the opening of the domestic diamond import and export, to the Hong Kong many of the old jewelry company’s diamond supply, caused a great deal of trouble.
To know, diamond sales in jewelry stores, is slightly higher than jadeite jade jewelry, especially domestic in recent years by foreign influence, the marriage must exchange diamond rings.
This foreign custom, directly out of the old generation of people married to play the tradition of gold jewelry, so that those who have the money or not the money of the young people, in the marriage, always buy two diamond rings.
In this way, the domestic annual sales of diamond jewelry alone, reached as much as 50 billion yuan, accounting for a little more than 40% of the total sales of various jewelry stores.
So Qin’s jewelry if you can’t buy a year’s worth of diamonds next year, then in this piece, it is going to be squeezed out of a lot of market share, for Qin’s jewelry, although it is not a fatal blow, but it will also make its vitality greatly injured.
As for the Qin family this more than a year, although in the business has made some gains, dipped in the light of Zhuang Rui, in the domestic jadeite jade market to occupy a place, but the Qin family internal, is a little problem.
Qin Haoran three brothers, he is the eldest, but also the head of the Qin family generation, the other two brothers are working in the family business, but the second is a serious playboy, every day only know how to gamble and play women.
Especially some time ago, Qin Elder ran to Macau to gamble, even gambling for five days and five nights, output to one hundred million Hong Kong dollars, and finally even detained by the casino, or Qin Haoran personally send money over to redeem the person.
Qin Lao Er returned to Hong Kong, the old man was angry directly with the cane, the old man’s legs were broken, let him do things, that is not reliable at all.
Qin’s oldest three is quite capable, the family has half of the business is he in the management, but only eight or nine years older than Zhuang Rui Qin’s third uncle, likes to play with the car, in the first two months, and people racing car accident, the whole body multiple comminuted fracture, is still lying in the hospital bed it!
So Qin Haoran in the past few months, not only have to busy themselves, even Qin Lao San originally responsible for the work also have to take over, busy, otherwise, this time to shop for diamonds, he is definitely going to go.
“Dad, are you asking me to go to South Africa and purchase diamonds for Qin’s jewelry?”
After listening to Qin Haoran’s words, Zhuang Rui spoke out and asked, it’s not true that he is an expert in the jade category, but for diamonds, Zhuang Rui is really not very proficient.
