Chapter 150 Gu Jia wants to borrow money from Yuan Xudong
Arriving at the destination, taking the flower basket from Sun Jianhong, Yuan Xudong stepped into Gu Jia's dessert house. The dessert house was small in size and decorated in a simple and warm way. He looked around and found no trace of Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin, only Gu Jia.
Busily preparing a variety of imported mineral waters, as well as her favorite fruit cake.
Putting down the flower basket, Yuan Xudong walked to Gu Jia and said with a smile:
"Gu Jia, where are Nini and Xiaoqin?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's voice, Gu Jia looked up at him and smiled:
"Manni and Xiaoqin don't want to come over. They think drinking water would be too boring, and they don't want to get in touch with the ladies in the wife circle!"
After taking a look at the dozens of imported mineral waters in different cups, Yuan Xudong looked at the busy Gu Jia and said with a smile:
"Your wife circle is quite boring. You have to drink imported water just to drink water. Are you tired?"
"Tired!"
After playing with the mineral water, Gu Jia continued to prepare the fruit cake and said:
"Today is Mrs. Wang's host. I helped her come up with the theme of the water tasting party. Let her teach those ladies a lesson. Mrs. Wang is a person. Although she is not highly educated, she is still quite good to me.
, Ziyan was able to enter the top kindergarten because of her help. She also helped Ziyan arrange a summer camp jointly organized by the kindergarten and abroad. She wanted to be popular in the circle of wives, so I must help her. This is called courtesy.
!”
After hearing what Gu Jia said about courtesy, Yuan Xudong said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Gu Jia, you said Mrs. Wang was very kind to you and you wanted to reciprocate. What about me? Am I not treating you well?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong's confusing words, Gu Jia's movements of playing with the cake paused slightly, then returned to normal, with a concealing smile on his face and said:
"Mr. Yuan, you are very kind to me, but my ability is limited and I really can't help you much!"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong looked at Gu Jia, who had evasive eyes, and said directly:
"Gu Jia, tell me, what do you want me to do here? Nini and Xiaoqin are not willing to participate in such a boring water tasting party. If you hadn't asked, they would definitely not have let me come over.
!”
Hearing Yuan Xudong directly point out his little thoughts, Gu Jia felt a little embarrassed and said:
"Mr. Yuan, can I borrow three million from you?"
"Borrow three million?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Jia would borrow money from him. Yuan Xudong looked at her and said in surprise:
"Does your Xu Huanshan have no money? Even if he has no money, Nini and Xiaoqin also have a lot of private money. Didn't you tell them that you wanted to borrow money?"
Shaking his head slightly, Gu Jia looked at Yuan Xudong and explained:
"Our fireworks company needs to increase its production lines, and all the money earned has been reinvested. Besides, I don't want to ask Xu Huanshan for money. As for Manni and Xiaoqin, you gave them all their money. I
If you want to borrow money from them, I should still inform you!"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong looked at Gu Jia and said with a smile:
"It's rare that you ask me to borrow money in person. Tell me, what do you want to borrow three million for? Although the money is not much, I can't just lend it to you unclearly. Do you think this is the truth?"
"Yes, I will definitely make it clear to you!"
Seeing that Yuan Xudong was willing to lend her money, Gu Jia looked happy. While thinking about the wife's circle gathering yesterday afternoon, she explained to Yuan Xudong why she wanted to borrow three million.
Yesterday afternoon, she participated in the afternoon tea event of the wife circle as usual. Mrs. Li, whose family has a net worth of over 10 billion, said casually while drinking black tea:
"As soon as I drank this tea, I remembered that my family still has a tea factory in western Hunan, but recently I want to sell it!"
"Yeah?"
Mrs. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Li and smiled:
"I haven't heard you say that before?"
Mrs. Li took a sip of black tea and explained intentionally or unintentionally:
"It's not a big business. It's just something we do without any support. Our tea garden has production lines and organic labels, but the output is a bit small. Do any of you want to take over?"
After Mrs. Li finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou couldn't wait to say:
"I have a friend who wants to start a tea business. Leave it to me. I'll ask him later. If the price is right, he will definitely be willing to take over your tea garden. By the way, does your tea garden have a name?"
"Of course it has a name!"
After giving Mrs. Zhou a blank look, Mrs. Li held the black tea and said reservedly:
"Although it's not a big business, it has everything a company should have, and it also has its own official website. You can search the Xiangxi Li Family Tea Garden online. It contains detailed information about our tea garden. Ask your friends to look at the official website first.
Inappropriate, so as not to waste each other’s time!”
After hearing the conversation between Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou, Gu Jia immediately searched the Li family tea garden in western Hunan on her mobile phone. After the party was over, she found Mrs. Li alone and smiled:
"Mrs. Li, I have learned about your tea factory. If you really want to consider transferring it, can you transfer it to me?"
After looking at Gu Jia, Mrs. Li smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter who you transfer it to. Can you afford the transfer fee of three million?"
Shaking his head slightly, Gu Jia looked at Mrs. Li and discussed:
"I may not be able to come up with that much money at once. Otherwise, I will pay you the money in three years. I will give you 20% of the company's profits every year, which will be regarded as interest. What do you think?
Sample?"
Shaking her head slightly, Mrs. Li looked at Gu Jia and refused:
"I still find it troublesome. I want to take the money back. If you don't have any money, I will leave it to Mrs. Zhou's friends. Of course, you are also a member of our wife's circle. The wealth will not go to outsiders. I will give it to you.
Can you raise the money in two days?"
"Okay, thank you Mrs. Li, I will definitely be able to raise the money!"
"hope so!"
Hearing Gu Jia explain the whole story clearly, Yuan Xudong's lips curled up into a smile. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou were obviously setting a trap for Gu Jia. Maybe Mrs. Wang left Gu Jia with the idea that rich people follow the principle of equal exchange.
The rules of the game, or she felt that Mrs. Li, whose family had a net worth of over 10 billion, could not deceive her. In short, Gu Jia did not realize that there was anything wrong, and Yuan Xudong would not kindly remind her that unless he was desperate, how could he
How about taking Gu Jia into your pocket?
Thinking of this, he looked at Gu Jia and teased:
"Gu Jia, you told Mrs. Li that you would be able to raise three million in transfer fees. If I am unwilling to lend you money, and I do not allow Nini and Xiaoqin to lend you money, what can you do?"
After saying that, seeing Gu Jia's expression slightly stunned, Yuan Xudong walked up to her, leaned into her ear and whispered jokingly:
"Gu Jia, am I too kind to you and answer your requests, but you take it for granted and never thought that I would reject you?"
Startled by Yuan Xudong's sudden intimacy, Gu Jia quickly took two steps back and said slightly panicked:
"Mr. Yuan, forget it if you don't want to, I'll think of other ways!"
"What can you think of? In such a short time, besides asking Xu Huanshan for money, what else can you do?"
After a slight pause, Yuan Xudong looked at Gu Jia and said curiously:
"Gu Jia, why don't you want to ask Xu Huanshan for money?"
"It's nothing. Even if I asked for it, he didn't have three million to give me. I'm sorry to disturb you today. Mrs. Wang is coming over. If you have anything to do, please leave first!"
Seeing that Gu Jia wanted to leave early, Yuan Xudong smiled and joked:
"Why, if I don't want to lend you money, I'm going to close the door and send you away?"
Giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Gu Jia couldn't help but said angrily:
"Mr. Yuan, you know that's not what I mean. If you want to stay, then stay. Those ladies are very boring. I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable!"
"Are you concerned about me?"
Before Gu Jia could respond, Yuan Xudong glanced at the strawberry cake on the table and said with a smile:
"I want to eat strawberries. If you feed me a strawberry, how about I lend you a million?"
When he heard Yuan Xudong teasing him, Gu Jia looked embarrassed and said:
"Mr. Yuan, is it interesting for you to humiliate me like this?"
"Humiliate you?"
Yuan Xudong looked at Gu Jia and said with a smile:
"Gu Jia, if you can't bear this grievance, how can you do business in the future? I didn't ask you to do anything, I just fed you a few strawberries. How could I be humiliating you?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong looking at the strawberry cake on the table, Gu Jia looked slightly red and said:
"Did you really just eat a few strawberries?"
"if not?"
"All right!"
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Jia dug out a strawberry with a spoon and handed it to Yuan Xudong's mouth and said:
"you eat!"
After taking a look at the strawberries covered in cream, Yuan Xudong shook his head slightly and refused:
"You feed me with your hands, and I'll lend you a million dollars for a strawberry, without interest, otherwise there's no need to negotiate!"
Without waiting for Gu Jia to refuse or agree, Yuan Xudong opened his mouth and said excitedly:
"Gu Jia, you shouldn't be so squeamish, right? Even a fool would feed me a million dollars for a strawberry!"
"You are the fool. One strawberry is worth a million, right?"
Putting down the spoon, Gu Jia directly picked up a strawberry and brought it to Yuan Xudong's mouth and said:
"one million!"
When Yuan Xudong finished eating in an orderly manner, Gu Jia breathed a sigh of relief. She directly picked up the second strawberry and brought it to Yuan Xudong's mouth and said:
"Two million!"
When Yuan Xudong finished eating properly again, Gu Jia felt completely relaxed. She picked up the third strawberry and brought it to Yuan Xudong's mouth with a smile:
"three million!"
Looking at Gu Jia with a relaxed face, Yuan Xudong raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. Instead of eating the strawberry directly, he first licked the cream off Gu Jia's fingers holding the strawberry, and saw Gu Jia standing with a red face.
There, Yuan Xudong deliberately slowly ate the last strawberry. Before he could finish it, a female voice sounded at the door and laughed:
"Gu Jia, Mr. Yuan, did I come at the wrong time?"
Hearing Mrs. Wang's teasing, Gu Jia quickly retracted her right hand, holding half a strawberry and explained:
"Mrs. Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I just want Mr. Yuan to try the strawberry cake I made. How about it?"
Yuan Xudong turned slightly, looked at Mrs. Wang who was walking into the dessert house and smiled:
"Mrs. Wang, the strawberry cake made by Gu Jia is good. Do you want to try it?"
"No, I don't like eating strawberries!"
Walking to Gu Jia, Mrs. Wang touched her shoulder and teased in a low voice:
"Gu Jia, you can do it. Mr. Yuan is young and strong. He must be good at golf. Have you tried it?"
"Mrs. Wang, what did you say?"
Throwing the remaining half of the strawberry into the trash can, Gu Jia pointed to the dozen or so imported mineral waters on the table and changed the subject:
"Mrs. Wang, these are imported mineral waters from different countries. Are you familiar with the information I gave you?"
"Keep your voice down!"
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong, Mrs. Wang leaned into Gu Jia's ear and smiled:
"Don't worry, if you help me like this, I will definitely keep it a secret for you, Mrs. Yuan!"
Hearing what Mrs. Wang said, Gu Jia quickly explained:
"Mrs. Wang, please don't misunderstand me. Mr. Yuan and I really have nothing to do with each other!"
Mrs. Wang blinked and smiled:
"I know there's nothing wrong with you!"
Knowing that the explanation did not make sense, Gu Jia walked aside with the mentality of those who purify themselves, and began to arrange the water tasting party. As time passed, other ladies came one after another. When everyone arrived, everyone was ranked according to family wealth. Yuan Xudong sat in the chair.
As a referee, Gu Jia followed Zhan Guang and sat on his left. Mrs. Wang, who was the host, sat on his right and talked:
"These are top-quality imported waters that I have collected from all over the world. They are water with different TDS and different pH levels. How do you like the taste?"
Seeing Mrs. Wang putting on airs, Mrs. Yu on the side cheered and said:
"Mrs. Wang, I know the pH. What is TDS?"
After hearing Mrs. Yu’s question, Mrs. Wang couldn’t wait to say:
"TDS is dissolved matter in water. These are the best imported waters, which are good for your health. You all have a taste and express your opinions!"
After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, Yuan Xudong was the first to pick up the water glass, took a sip, and then commented:
"It's a bit sweet. Maybe it's because I just ate strawberries, which affects the taste. You all have a taste, and I won't comment!"
Seeing how cunning Yuan Xudong was, Mrs. Yu picked up the water glass for the second time and took a sip, then commented:
"It's a bit bitter, maybe because I just drank coffee, which affects the taste!"
Then Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Wu commented in turn:
"It's a bit sour, maybe because I just ate an orange, which affects the taste!"
“It’s a bit spicy, maybe because I just had hot pot, which affects the taste!”
"It's a little salty, maybe because I just ate bacon, which affects the taste!"
With all the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors, Mrs. Wang glanced at the locals around her, then picked up the water glass and took a few sips to show off:
"The taste of water flowing through different rocks and soil is different. Water with high TDS is saltier, thicker and rougher. Theoretically, water that is overly acidic will appear refreshing, but tooth enamel will deteriorate after a pH of 5.5.
Degraded, so overacidic water will appear rough, low TDS water."
Yuan Xudong drank colorless and tasteless mineral water while watching Mrs. Wang recite popular science materials according to the script. He glanced at the ladies who seemed to be listening attentively but were actually drowsy, then looked at Gu Jia beside him, and
