Chen Liping enthusiastically invited Ye Chen's family of three into the house. At this time, the aroma of food could already be smelled in the living room.
The interior decoration of the villa is very exquisite. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been put into it. It is even comparable to the first-class villas of Tomson.
There are many photos of adults and children hanging on the walls of my home, and every photo is very heartwarming.
Ma Lan looked around and gained a new understanding of Sister Chen's strength. Then she quickly introduced Chen Liping to Xiao Churan and Ye Chen, and said with a smile: "This is what I often tell you,
The vice-captain of our runaway team, Chen Liping, Sister Chen, you must call Aunt Chen!"
After saying that, he said to Chen Liping: "Sister Chen, this is my daughter Xiao Churan, and next to her is my son-in-law Ye Chen."
Xiao Churan said to Chen Liping politely: "Hello, Aunt Chen, I take the liberty of disturbing you!"
Chen Liping said with a smile: "What are you talking about! Although your mother and I have known each other for a short time, we have been able to chat a lot! I have long wanted you to be a guest at home, but your mother said that your husband went there some time ago
We were on business in Hong Kong, so I thought I would wait for your husband to come back before inviting you, but I didn't expect that your mother would be returning to China soon, which made me feel quite reluctant to leave."
Ma Lan couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Chen, to be honest, I originally planned to stay in the United States until I returned to China with my daughter and son-in-law, but I couldn't help it, and I was really homesick during this period, so I could only stay alone.
Let’s go back first.”
Chen Liping nodded and said seriously: "I understand, I was just like you when I first came to the United States. I was only fresh for a few days, and then I thought about returning to the country day and night. If it weren't for helping my son, daughter-in-law, and raising grandchildren, I would
He probably ran back already."
Ma Lan smiled and nodded in agreement. In fact, she had no sense of belonging to her hometown. For her, wherever she felt comfortable, that was home.
When she was in China, she had no money to live. When she came to the United States, she stayed in a hotel with her daughter and son-in-law. She regarded the hotel as her home. Now she had a goddess's dream necklace in her hand. She wanted to go back and cash it out quickly, so she thought about returning to China.
.
Then, Ma Lan took out the gift she bought in the afternoon, handed it to Chen Liping, and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, this is the first time I came to your home. I didn't know what you like, so I bought you a set of tableware. I hope you don't like it."
dislike."
Chen Liping hurriedly complained: "Look at you, you came here as soon as you came. It's just like going back to your own home. Why are you buying anything? Really..."
Ma Lan was also used to this kind of Chinese politeness and said with a smile: "Hey, it's not much money, just a little kindness."
Chen Liping nodded and said with a smile: "Don't spend so much money next time. I'm so embarrassed."
At this time, a woman about thirty years old came over, saw Ma Lan, and smiled enthusiastically: "You must be Aunt Ma. I have been hearing my mother mention you these past few days and say that I can chat with you very well."
!”
Chen Liping quickly introduced: "Ma Lan, let me introduce to you. This is my daughter-in-law, Sun Huina. Just call her Huina."
After saying that, she introduced her daughter-in-law: "Hui Na, this is Aunt Ma, and the two next to her are Aunt Ma's daughters and sons-in-law."
Sun Huina greeted Xiao Churan and Ye Chen, then said with a smile: "You guys sit down for a while, my father-in-law and my husband are cooking in the kitchen, and we can eat later."
Chen Liping quickly smiled and said: "Come on, let's sit on the sofa for a while. They will call us when we can eat."
Ma Lan was not polite and said with a smile: "By the way, Sister Chen, don't you have a pair of grandchildren? Why didn't you see them?"
Chen Liping said casually: "The two children went to Disneyland with their uncle's family and won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
Ma Lan asked in surprise: "Do you have any relatives in the United States?"
"Yes." Chen Liping nodded and said, "The child's uncle's family has settled in Los Angeles. My husband also has a cousin. Their family has settled in California, and we move around more frequently."
After saying that, Chen Liping added: "Actually, our family doesn't live in Providence all the time. Last year, my son's business started here, so we moved from Chicago. After a while, we may have to move to New York again."
Ma Lan sighed: "It's really hard to move around like this all the time."
Chen Liping said casually: "It doesn't matter if we move. In the past few years, we have always bought a house wherever we moved. The house we live in now is a new house we just bought last year."
Ma Lan was amazed at the financial resources of Chen Liping's family. Buying a house seemed to her like a joke and she bought it casually.
So she couldn't help but ask: "Sister Chen, housing prices in New York are not cheap, are they?"
Chen Liping smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's okay. In places where land is at a premium, housing prices are high and have their own value. Buying a house in a place like this is not consumption, but an investment."
Ma Lan couldn't help but ask: "How much does it cost to buy an apartment in New York?"
Chen Liping thought for a while and said casually: "If you want to buy a large flat in Manhattan, you have to prepare 10 to 20 million U.S. dollars. The villa area in Long Beach starts at least 30 to 50 million U.S. dollars."
Ma Lan was shocked and speechless, and blurted out: "This is too expensive..."
"It's not bad." Chen Liping remembered that Ma Lan had previously boasted that she lived in a Tomson First Class and drove a Rolls-Royce in China, so she smiled and said: "A big villa like yours in a Tomson First Class, if converted into U.S. dollars, it would cost more in New York."
You can also buy a very nice house.”
Ma Lan smiled and nodded, but couldn't help feeling a little inferior.
She felt that compared with Chen Liping, she was still far behind. Although she lived in a luxury house and drove a luxury car, none of these things were her own. Moreover, she had no real assets that belonged to her until now.
It's nothing more than two goddess dream necklaces, nothing more.
But Chen Liping's situation is different. According to Chen Liping, she made a lot of money doing business in China in the early years. Even after coming to the United States, she gained a lot by investing in the U.S. stock market and real estate. She is a standard strong woman, and according to
She said that she gave her son the start-up capital to start his business in the United States, so Ma Lan felt that she was much better than herself because she was rich and capable.
This is why Ma Lan wants to make friends with Chen Liping.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Chen, you still have the strength, you are much stronger than me."
Chen Liping said humbly: "I am actually very lucky. In the past few years, my family's funds were not so generous. The main reason was that I bought a few stocks of our Chinese companies in the United States at the bottom in the past two years and made almost 20 times."
"Twenty times?!" Ma Lan felt dizzy and blurted out: "What stock can rise twenty times?!"
Chen Liping said with a smile: "The stocks of several domestically produced new energy vehicles dropped to one yuan a share at their lowest point. But then the new energy concept became popular, and suddenly they reached tens of yuan, and they rose at their peak.
Forty or fifty times. I am the one who bought the bottom late and made the move earlier. There are even more powerful ones who made more than thirty times."
Ma Lan was jealous after hearing this, and sighed: "More than thirty times... If you invest 10,000, you can earn more than 300,000, and if you invest 300,000, you can earn 100 million..."
With that said, she quickly asked Chen Liping: "Sister Chen, how much did you invest at that time?"
Chen Liping said: "Not much, just two hundred thousand."
"Oh my god..." Ma Lan sighed: "This... this is more than 60 million! It's still US dollars... Sister Chen, you are so awesome! Next time something good like this happens, can you also bring it with me?
"
Chen Liping smiled slightly: "Okay, let your child open a U.S. dollar account for you when there is time in the future, and I will take you to speculate in U.S. stocks."
When Ma Lan heard this, she agreed with great gratitude: "That's great, great, thank you, Sister Chen! I will get one as soon as I return to China!"
At this time, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing glasses and an apron, and a polite middle-aged man came out. When he saw the charming Xiao Churan, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression was astonished.
After a while, he quickly adjusted and said with a smile: "Mom, the meal is ready, please come to the restaurant!"
