Chapter 940: New Year's Greetings to Qu Xingye
The New Year was coming soon. After Shi Lei spent the New Year with his family, he called Qu Xingye, who sold the antique watch to him early in the first and first day of the lunar month.
When Qu Xingye received a call from Shi Lei, he seemed careless. After all, to him, this was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, Mr. Qu, Happy New Year, I wish you a New Year." Shi Lei said with a smile.
Seeing Shi Lei being polite, Qu Xingye was a little polite: "You are a happy new year, but who are you?"
"Oh, I'm Shi Lei."
"Shi Lei?" Qu Xingye was obviously stunned. His intersection with Shi Lei was just selling a watch, and he really didn't react for a while.
But soon, Qu Xingye remembered this name, Shi Lei, and they had met before, and talked a lot. The four words Qixuan Bicycle alone were closely related to Shi Lei.
"Oh, it turns out it's Mr. Shi, ah, I'm so sorry. I just got up just now, and I'm a little confused. I didn't hear it was your voice. Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Mr. Shi, I'm so grateful to you, I can still remember a little person like me."
"Hehe, Mr. Qu is polite, how could you be a little person?"
"Mr. Shi is now...?"
"I've been back to my home in Runzhou to spend the New Year with my parents."
"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Shi is also from Runzhou? This is such a coincidence. I am also from Runzhou. Although my factory is in Wudong, I am also in Runzhou for the New Year. Mr. Shi really didn't expect that it would be so coincidence. This is also a kind of fate. Where is your family? I'll come to my uncle and aunt to pay New Year's greetings to my uncle and aunt. Thank you Mr. Shi for the 10 million. It's really a timely help. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the rough stone deal on the sixth day of the lunar month."
Shi Lei smiled slightly. The reason why he called Qu Xingye was because Shi Lei knew that Qu Xingye was from Runzhou. Although he might not come back during the New Year, Shi Lei still wanted to try his luck.
It seems that he is lucky. Qu Xingye is indeed in Runzhou, and he actually wants to visit him.
Perhaps, he was also trying to make a good relationship. After all, although he wanted to use the 10 million he had made to redeem the factory, he actually knew very well that this trip would probably be lost.
Shi Lei did not think too much about the psychology of such a person, but since the other party wanted to visit him, Shi Lei didn't mind letting him come. Originally, Shi Lei's call was not a simple call to greet New Year. If he really wanted to greet New Year, it would not be the turn of Qu Xingye.
So Shi Lei smiled and said, "Then I'll bother Mr. Qu. However, after Mr. Qu comes, don't call my parents my uncle and aunt. They are only in their early fifties and really can't afford it."
Qu Xingye said: "Your Madam Shi, you are too polite. We are a fellow disciple. It has nothing to do with age. Your parents are of course my uncle and aunt."
Shi Lei didn't say much, but just told Qu Xingye about the address. When Qu Xingye heard this, he immediately said, "It turns out that your family lives in Dahua Electronics. My family is in the community next to your factory. I'll be there in a few steps. If I had known that your parents would live in Dahua Electronics, I would have come to visit him long ago."
Shi Lei smiled slightly and said, "This is a coincidence. Then I will wait for President Qu at home."
He greeted his parents and said that a business friend would come to pay New Year's greetings. Soon, Shi Lei heard the doorbell.
When I opened the door, it was Qu Xingye outside the door.
As soon as Qu Xingye saw Shi Lei, he immediately stretched out his hands and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Shi, I really didn't expect that our two families are actually neighbors. Although they are separated by a community, they are really... haha, it's really fate."
After letting Qu Xingye enter, Qu Xingye saw Shi Lei's parents and hurriedly shouted: "This is my uncle and aunt. Happy New Year, my name is Qu Xingye, and I am Mr. Shi's friend."
Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan were frightened. The other party was in his forties and looked a few years younger than them, but they called them uncles and aunts, which made Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan not know how to respond for a while.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, I told you on the phone that my parents are no few years older than you. Don't shout like that, they can't get used to it."
"Then..." Qu Xingye seemed a little embarrassed.
Shi Zhongping hurriedly said, "I think I am a few years older than you. You and Shi Tou are friends, but we all talk about our own things. Let's call you little brother. Come on, come on, sit down first."
After saying that, he gave Gao Yan a wink and went to pour tea for Qu Xingye.
At this time, Sun Yiyi and Sun's mother also walked out of the house. Qu Xingye had just sat down. When he saw that he didn't know what was going on, he quickly stood up again.
Shi Lei introduced: "This is Sun Yiyi, my girlfriend, and this is her mother."
"Oh, happy new year for auntie. Happy new year for brother and sister."
Sun Yiyi was blushed and looked at Shi Lei silly, not knowing what to say.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, please sit first, don't be so polite."
Finally sat down, Shi Zhongping and Gao Yan served tea to Qu Xingye, and then took Sun Yiyi and Sun's mother away with the excuse of going out to pay New Year's greetings.
Shi Lei chatted with Qu Xingye for a few words, but there was really nothing to talk about, so he simply went straight to the point.
"Do you still have to go to Myanmar on the sixth day of the first lunar month of Qu?"
"We have to leave on the fifth day of the lunar month." Qu Xingye glanced at Shi Lei and said, "I know, you and Mr. Yu must think that I am hopeless. They sold the heirlooms left to me by my family, but they were not enterprising. However, this is only 10 million, and I really can't redeem my factory. I have no choice but to go to Myanmar to try my luck."
Shi Lei smiled slightly and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions, but I think, Mr. Qu, although you only have 10 million in your hands now, you can discuss it with the creditor. It is useless for him to ask your factory, but you can mortgage the factory to the bank and then repay the debt with a loan. This ten million should allow your factory to reopen. Even if it cannot return to its previous situation, it will not be much worse. Why do you have to struggle with this gambling again?"
Qu Xingye smiled melancholy and said, "Mr. Shi doesn't know much. The other party is just holding back my factory. My creditor is my downstream manufacturer. If I can't repay the loan after the deadline, the factory will belong to him. He bought my factory less than half of the money. Discussing with him is tantamount to seeking a skin with a tiger."
Shi Lei nodded and thought to himself, then I can only wish you good luck.
"Mr. Qu will tell me about the rough stone trade fair on the sixth day of the lunar calendar."
Qu Xingye was stunned and quickly understood the purpose of Shi Lei's call today, but hesitated and said, "Mr. Shi is also interested in gambling stones?"
"I can't say that I'm interested, I just want to see it. I've only heard of gambling stones before, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Anyway, during the Chinese New Year, I happened to have nothing to do, so I thought that if President Qu insisted on going, I would follow President Qu to see it."
"That's nothing wrong, but to be honest, Mr. Shi, look at me now, don't get stuck here. Of course, Mr. Shi's family has a great career and may not care about winning or losing tens of millions. However, the pain of skin damage, if you go, if you don't take action, don't take action. This thing is really hard to gain without ten or eight years of research."
Shi Lei was stunned. He didn't expect Qu Xingye would persuade him, and his impression of this person improved. 8)
