Guan Tong has been pregnant for half a year, and her belly is obviously bulging.
"Second brother, why did you just arrive now? Grandpa was urging me to call you just now?"
Hearing the sound, Zhang Guoji immediately helped his grandfather to the gate. Because of their wedding, he and his wife took a week's leave and simply came back yesterday.
Leslie Cheung hurriedly explained: "I don't know what happened today. The road was particularly blocked."
"Second brother, I know the reason." An An appeared at the door shortly after, "Today is the day of the FBA finals. There are seven rounds of competition in total. The first round was chosen to be held in our city, Huicheng, and it happens to be the weekend.
, everyone came here to watch the game, the roads will definitely be blocked.”
FBA is the abbreviation of Federal Professional Basketball League.
Because the distance was too long and travel was very inconvenient, the home and away game format had to be canceled and held in a third-party city.
According to convention, seven cities in the entire metropolitan area will be selected as host locations for the annual FBA finals. This year, Huicheng will be included.
"The finals have begun? Which two teams will compete for the championship this year?"
Zhang Guoxuan asked casually.
Because his wife is pregnant, he has been focusing on her recently and hasn't paid much attention to sports events.
"Our team here is Shenzhen City, and our team in Europa is last year's defending champion Barcelona. If my grandma hadn't let me go out, I would have been watching the game live." Kangkang couldn't help but sigh.
Here is a brief introduction. The FBA League has two divisions: the east and west. The east division is mainly in Asia, and the west division is outside Asia.
"Shencheng? Shencheng actually won the Eastern Conference championship? How is this possible?"
Zhang Guoxuan's face was full of surprise.
As we all know, Shencheng is not a traditional strong team and did not even make the playoffs last year.
Zhang Guoji explained helpfully: "Shenzhen City spent a lot of money in the transfer market this year and brought in several foreign players, and then it suddenly exploded."
"Second brother, this is mainly due to Stefan. He alone accounted for one-third of the team's goals and averaged a near-triple-double of 32.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 13.2 assists per game.
The alliance deserves it..."
Zhang Chongxin was not interested in basketball. Seeing his grandchildren chatting more and more enthusiastically, even Tongtong, a pregnant woman, was ignored, so he quickly interrupted:
"Guoxuan, why are you still standing there stupidly? Hurry up and help Tongtong into the house. It's cold outside."
Guan Tong smiled and waved his hand: "Grandpa, it's okay. It's rare to have a rest today, so let them have a good chat. I'll go see grandma. Is grandma in the kitchen?"
"Not in the kitchen. Your grandma and your aunt took your sister-in-law to the village committee to apply for a pass. They should be back soon." Zhang Chongxin shook his head.
Since my son became the consul, the security level of Shawei Village has been upgraded to more than one level. Without a pass, entry and exit will be very troublesome.
"That's it, then I'll go to the kitchen and have a look..."
"No, no, you're not alone now. You must be tired after riding for such a long time. Go back to your room and take a rest. I'll call you when your grandma and the others come back later."
After Zhang Chongxin finished speaking, he winked at his second grandson on the spot.
Zhang Guoxuan immediately echoed: "Tongtong, grandpa is right, we have been stuck on the road for more than three hours. Not to mention you, a pregnant woman, even I can't bear it."
"Okay then, I'll come out and chat with you grandpa later." Guan Tong agreed.
She didn't sleep well last night and she was indeed a little sleepy.
After a while, Zhang Guoxuan sent his wife back to the room and helped her make a glass of milk. Guan Tong drank the milk and quickly fell asleep.
…
"How is Tongtong?"
"Grandpa, Tongtong has already fallen asleep."
Zhang Guoji picked up the big teapot and poured a cup of tea for his second brother: "Are you thirsty? I just brewed Dahongpao."
"How did you make such good tea? Will there be any distinguished guests coming later?"
Zhang Guoxuan picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"There are no distinguished guests." Zhang Chongxin waved his hand and explained with a smile: "Today is also your brother's happy day. The words \u0027 Da Hong Pao \u0027 sound festive. Besides, tea is just for drinking, so there is nothing to be reluctant to part with.
"
"Hey, grandpa, you are still so grand." Leslie Cheung gave a thumbs up on the spot, and then drank three cups of tea in a row before giving up: "It's so enjoyable!"
"It's really a waste of good things to chew peonies!"
Zhang Chongxin said with a heartbroken face.
Zhang Guoxuan smiled coquettishly and quickly changed the subject: "Brother, congratulations on your success in career and love. I heard someone said that the valuation of Shuguang Company has increased tenfold this time? Is it true?"
"It's not that exaggerated, only six or seven times at most."
Zhang Guoji corrected.
"Six or seven times is not a lot, isn't it? Brother, you didn't do anything and your net worth has increased several times. It's not until today that I finally know what it means to win by lying down."
Leslie Cheung said with sincere emotion.
Zhang Chongxin glanced at his second grandson: "What? Do you regret it?"
"Not only do I regret it, but I also feel envious and jealous. If we hadn't both gotten married, I really wanted to exchange identities with my eldest brother, and he would definitely let me."
Leslie Cheung pretended to be in pain.
When they were young, the brothers' favorite game was to exchange identities, sometimes even making them unrecognizable to their classmates.
"Naive, don't say that these things are not available. In fact, the potential of Minde Era is not bad. If it develops well, it can also become a super company with a market value of trillions."
Zhang Chongxin took the opportunity to encourage him.
"Grandpa, I am indeed taking advantage of the sky this time." Zhang Guoji did not hesitate and immediately expressed his idea: "Therefore, I plan to use 80 billion as compensation, and the second brother and the others will each share 200 billion.
100 million."
"Brother, I'm joking, do you still take it seriously?"
Zhang Guoxuan's eyes widened instantly.
Zhang Chongxin also expressed his opposition: "You brat, doing business is not a child's play. Now that the five of you have separated, there is no reason to regret it."
"Grandpa, I..."
"There is no need to make excuses. If everyone follows your approach, who will be willing to run the company with all their heart? The consequences of doing so will be serious and will eventually form a vicious circle. No matter how much the family business is, sooner or later it will be ruined."
Zhang Chongxin’s words are serious and thoughtful.
Zhang Guoji opened his mouth but could not refute.
Leslie Cheung reached out and patted his eldest brother on the arm: "Brother, you don't have to feel guilty. To be honest, the five of us are all billionaires. We are really worthy of these two tens of billions."
"That's what I said..."
"Okay, brother, aren't you planning to sell part of your shares? How's the negotiation going?"
Zhang Guoji answered truthfully: "Generally speaking, the talks were pretty good. Most people were sincere. The highest bidder was the European, who wanted to get the whole deal."
"Then how much are they willing to pay?"
"One hundred and eighty billion, in exchange for 10% of the shares, a premium of 30%." Zhang Guoji did not hide anything.
In other words, the total valuation is 1.8 trillion.
Zhang Guoxuan frowned: "Some are missing, this is room temperature superconducting."
"It's quite a lot. If we want to mass-produce room-temperature superconductors, it will take at least ten or twenty years. The time span is too long."
"Why does it take so long? Isn't it reported in the news? The manufacturing process is not difficult and the cost of raw materials is also very low. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Zhang Guoxuan said doubtfully.
"Brother, SG-101 is not perfect. When detecting the Meissner effect, it cannot even achieve complete levitation. There is still a long way to go."
Zhang Guoji patiently explained.
Zhang Guoxuan nodded subconsciously: "It turns out there are so many circles going around here. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been dazzled by victory long ago."
"Actually, Shuguang's main business is controllable nuclear fusion, and this is the ultimate goal. If it can really achieve this goal, the company's market value can increase dozens of times," Zhang Guoji added.
"Controllable nuclear fusion? It's too difficult, there is almost no hope." Zhang Guoxuan sighed.
"Not necessarily. I asked Professor Chen. As long as room-temperature superconductivity is truly successful, this day is not far away."
"Let me go, will we be able to achieve controllable nuclear fusion in twenty years? I thought it was within my lifetime?"
"Twenty years is just the most optimistic guess. If the project does not go well, it is possible in fifty or one hundred years." Zhang Guoji shrugged.
Hearing this, Zhang Chongxin couldn't help but interject: "You two still have hope, but I'm afraid grandpa won't be able to see that day. It's really a pity."
"Grandpa, don't be discouraged. Nowadays, with the advanced medical technology, it will be easy for you to live another twenty years."
Zhang Guoji hurriedly cheered up.
"Twenty years? If I can live for two more years and watch the birth of your two children, I will be satisfied."
Zhang Chongxin waved his hand.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
Fortunately, Li Dajuan and others finally came back, followed by Zhang Jiayi.
"Second aunt, why did you come back early?"
Zhang Guoji said in surprise.
According to the plan, dinner is the time for dinner.
Zhang Jiayi took off her coat and took out a thick stack of documents from her briefcase: "These people are all potential buyers who are optimistic about Shuguang Company. They couldn't contact you and found me directly."
"So many?" Zhang Guoji took the document.
Zhang Guoxuan came over and took a look. The one at the top of the file was actually BYD.
"Second aunt, BYD is our family's old rival, why do you..."
"The final decision rests with your eldest brother. I'm just helping to convey it. Why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Jiayi said angrily.
Zhang Guoxuan immediately looked at his eldest brother: "Brother, you shouldn't choose BYD, right?"
Zhang Guoji shook his head, then picked up BYD's document and tore it in half in front of him.
"Bah bang bang... so loyal!"
Zhang Guoxuan said happily.
Zhang Chongxin was greatly disappointed. He pointed at his eldest grandson and criticized severely: "You have completely forgotten what I just told you. Business is not a child's play. How can there be eternal enemies in the business world? Before taking action, you must at least read it first.
Look at the specific content and then make a decision,”
"Dad, don't be angry. This brat Guo Ji is not meant for business. You can't force him."
Zhang Jiayi quickly comforted her.
"Bullshit, it's not that he has no talent, he's just simply careless." Zhang Chongxin let out a long sigh.
"Grandpa, I admit my mistake and I will never do it again in the future." Zhang Guoji quickly expressed his stance.
"Forget it, let's talk!" Zhang Chongxin waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, I'll go to bed and lie down for a while."
"Grandpa, let me help you over."
Zhang Guoxuan stood up on his own initiative.
After Zhang Chongxin left, Zhang Jiayi immediately comforted her eldest nephew with a few words: "Okay, don't be downcast. It's just a few words said. Don't take it to heart."
"Second aunt, I let grandpa down."
Zhang Guoji looked lonely.
"Your grandfather loves you deeply and blames you deeply. It's really not a big deal." Zhang Jiayi paused and suddenly laughed: "Speaking of scolding, your father is aggrieved. He has been scolded by your grandpa for several years, even
It’s to the point of severing the relationship between father and son.”
"My dad...my dad brought it upon himself."
"That's not what I meant. I used your father as an example to prove that your grandfather's methods may not work. If your father had really listened to your grandfather's words, he would not have achieved what he has now."
"Well, my dad is in a special situation. Many people say he is a once-in-a-century genius."
"You are your father's biological son. You are definitely not much different." Zhang Jiayi reached out and patted her eldest nephew on the shoulder: "Today is a big day. Cheer up and don't let your wife misunderstand."
"Well, I understand."
Zhang Guoji nodded solemnly.
…
In the afternoon, Zhang Jiayi took her eldest nephew and the two of them studied the list of potential customers in detail.
"Guoji, if you want to sell for more money, then sell all your shares to the Europeans. They have the strongest financial resources and should be able to sell up to 200 billion."
"Second aunt, I have a plan, but I can't make up my mind at the moment. Please help me read the details."
"What's the plan?" Zhang Jiayi asked curiously.
"The thing is like this. Originally, Meihui's family wanted to choose an heir from sister Meihui and I's son, and change the surname to Mitsui..."
"Japanese surname? Does your grandfather agree?"
Zhang Guoji smiled bitterly: "Grandpa almost agreed, but my dad was firmly opposed."
Then, he briefly explained the reason.
Finally, the plan to rebuild the Mitsui Foundation was revealed.
Zhang Jiayi frowned: "As far as I know, the two regions of Japan and South Korea are very xenophobic. It is tantamount to wishful thinking for you as an outsider to get involved, let alone reintegrating them, which is almost impossible."
"Second aunt, I know it's not easy, but my dad gave me an idea and pushed Sister Meihui to the front desk. Anyway, I'm not interested in doing business."
"Mei Hui? Her father is Japanese and her mother is Korean. It is indeed a good choice. However, this matter is still difficult to achieve unless..."
"Unless what?"
Zhang Guoji quickly asked.
"Unless you can find an ally of equal size, the size of the Japan-South Korea alliance is not something you can handle, and you might be overwhelmed to death."
