Chapter 388: Reunion of acquaintances, Xue Sumei’s urging
"Husband, when you said you wanted to have two babies, were you sincere, or were you just perfunctory?"
Yang Tao held Zhou Chen's arm, raised his head, and asked.
Zhou Chen said: "Of course it's true. Two is the minimum. If you want to have three or four children, I have absolutely no objection."
Yang Tao rolled his eyes: "There are three or four. Even if I can give birth, I can't afford to raise them. Especially if they are all boys, it will be even more scary. In the future, when we get married, each person will have an apartment, a car, and various other things."
Planting betrothal gifts and so on can scare people to death."
Zhou Chen said confidently: "I think your worries are all unnecessary. Let alone three or four, I can afford to support even thirty or forty."
Of course Carambola didn't believe it: "Just brag, even thirty or forty, sows can't give birth to that many."
"Wife, don't look at the fact that our family doesn't have much savings now, but that's because your husband and I haven't shown my talent for making money yet. Starting from tomorrow, I will enter the money-making mode. In less than two years, I will be able to achieve 100 million
It’s a small goal. In a few years, one billion won’t be a problem.”
"Okay, husband, I know you are the best. Let alone one billion, even if it is ten billion, I believe you can do it."
Yang Tao didn't argue. Instead, he smiled and looked at Zhou Chen with admiration, but that look looked fake.
Zhou Chen didn't care either. He knew that Yang Tao definitely didn't believe him now, but it wouldn't be long before Yang Tao would know that he wasn't bragging.
Now he doesn't have much savings, and some industries are not easy to enter, such as real estate. With the little money he has now, he can still go to a small county. If he wants to do real estate in Yanjing, it is undoubtedly
Idiots talk about dreams.
And it’s been 14 years now. It’s not as easy to make money in the real estate industry as it used to be.
He had no connections, no resources, and not enough money, so Zhou Chen never thought about getting into real estate.
Another profitable industry is the pharmaceutical industry. He has many kinds of medicines in his hands. As long as he takes them out, he will definitely make a lot of money.
But he wouldn't do that, because the risk is too great. He, a person who has never been exposed to the pharmaceutical industry, suddenly opened a pharmaceutical company and came up with so many new drugs. Not only would it arouse suspicion, but it would also be more likely to cause trouble.
In the thirty-year-old world, the reason why he dared to do that was because the Zhou family had huge power and deep foundation, so he had the confidence to do it.
But now, as a mere commander with only a little money in hand, selling new medicines is no different from seeking death.
He is a member of a family that has lived for more than a hundred years. He knows very well how dark the dark side of this world is, and he must ensure his own safety before making money.
As for Bitcoin, now is not the right time.
If given time, he can rely on his own knowledge and ability,
"It seems that we can only use special methods."
There is no way to get money quickly through normal channels, but Zhou Chen also has a system.
In the next few days, Zhou Chen did not go out to do anything, but stayed at home to research investments.
That's right, he thought that the fastest way to make money was to invest.
Although there are many profitable industries, he is not prepared to touch unfamiliar industries. After all, now he wants to make money to support his family, not just start a business.
So what he wants is to make money as quickly as possible, but he still needs to think carefully about what kind of investment to make.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Chen stayed at home these days. After Yang Tao came back in the evening, the two of them lived a life without shame or shame, which was quite comfortable.
"Husband, I made an agreement with Weiwei tomorrow night, saying that we can call our friends together. I asked Jiao Yang to go, and you can ask Guoran and the others to go too."
After Yang Tao came back today, he told Zhou Chen the news.
Tomorrow night is Saturday, which happens to be a day off, so everyone should be free.
Although Jiao Yang is still listed in the bridal shop, he has actually found another job, working as a temporary attendant on a real film crew, and rarely goes to the bridal shop.
Sure enough, he resigned and started a pet photography business with his good friend Hu Qixing. He also took on some photography jobs with his big brother. In fact, he made more money than working at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Now he and his girlfriend are in full swing, planning to talk about marriage, and there is plenty of time. Zhou Chen just sent him a message, and he agreed.
The day goes by in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Chen and Yang Tao dressed neatly and drove to the dinner party.
Today is Lan Weiwei and Li Kui's treat. They have booked a five-star hotel, and the standards are quite high.
And Zhou Chen and the others did not go empty-handed. They brought two bottles of wine. Just these two bottles of wine were worth more than 5,000 yuan, which was definitely not cheaper than the food.
When Zhou Chen and others arrived, Lan Weiwei and Li Kui, the hosts, had naturally already arrived. In addition to them, Jiao Yang also arrived.
In addition, Zhou Chen also saw a slightly fat woman. When he and Yang Tao got married, she also came to the wedding. She seemed to be Yang Tao's best friend. He forgot her name. Her nickname seemed to be Sniffy Girl.
.
That is, the woman in the TV series who was able to find a rich man even with her children, but later got sick and had her breasts removed.
"Weiwei."
"peach."
After Yang Tao and Lan Weiwei met, they both rushed towards each other enthusiastically and hugged each other happily. Then they hugged Snot Niu and the three of them, as if they had a particularly good relationship.
Zhou Chen is not very clear about how close Yang Tao and Snot Niu are, but he knows Lan Weiwei very well. On the surface, they are very good, but in fact, after the incident of stealing their boyfriend was exposed, the relationship between the two of them has changed.
A problem has occurred.
It's just a matter between women, and Zhou Chen doesn't bother to care about it. Anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of Lan Weiwei, and Yang Tao isn't stupid either. Just pay attention in the future.
"Zhou Chen, sit down."
Li Kui greeted Zhou Chen politely. He was taller than Zhou Chen, with a burly build and a decent appearance.
"Hello." Zhou Chen also replied politely.
He was not familiar with Li Kui, he had only met him twice and heard more from Yang Tao.
Yang Tao heard from Lan Weiwei that she and Li Kui had a very deep relationship, and that Li Kui fell in love with her at first sight and would not marry her unless she was the one.
However, Zhou Chen scoffed at this. He had already heard that Lan Weiwei made many demands to her mother, and even drove Li Kui's father away in the end.
If Li Kui hadn't been relatively rich and bought a new apartment for his father, I'm afraid the best outcome for his father, Li Zhaoxian, would have been to be sent to a nursing home.
Zhou Chen didn't know what Li Kui was thinking, but he really looked down upon Li Kui's choice.
Damn it, I can't find a woman. Why, for Lan Weiwei, I even gave up my biological father who had raised him for decades.
Don't talk about having something or not. No matter what the reason is, it is unfilial to do this.
Three girls, Yang Tao and Jiao Yang, were chatting together while Zhou Chen and Li Kui were chatting wordlessly.
Li Kui is also a good talker. As they talked, the two of them talked about the economy and finance of today's society.
Although he was very disdainful of Li Kui's behavior of driving away his biological father for his wife, Zhou Chen naturally would not show it on the surface.
Li Kui works in a bank. He seems to be a small leader. He has contact with many people, and his vision and conversation are not bad.
It's just that he met Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen has lived in several worlds for decades, and his understanding of the economics and finance of later generations is simply not comparable to that of Li Kui.
In less than ten minutes, Li Kui was stunned by Zhou Chen's vision and knowledge.
He learned from his wife Lan Weiwei that Zhou Chen was just a man with a little money. He used to work in the Civil Affairs Bureau. He seemed to be good, but in fact he was not popular at all.
He also heard that Zhou Chen made his money from stocks, so he was curious about Zhou Chen. People who can make more than ten million from the stock market are either really powerful or really stupid.
Very lucky.
Anyway, Lan Weiwei said that Zhou Chen was not very good, and he also had an average impression of Zhou Chen.
But after this in-depth conversation, he found that Zhou Chen was much more powerful than he thought. He had never heard of many things, but Zhou Chen came in casually and kept him stunned for a while.
"He was really a clerk in the Civil Affairs Bureau before?"
Li Kui was shocked and confused. What they just talked about was not just what was in the news and newspapers, but also a lot of practical information.
He works in a bank and has internal channels, so he knows more. But Zhou Chen is different. Could it be that he came up with all these things by himself.
As a result, Li Kui had a high opinion of Zhou Chen and wanted to make friends with him.
The reason why Zhou Chen chatted so much with Li Kui was because he thought of one thing. He was worried that his injured capital was not enough, and Li Kui worked in a bank. If he could use Li Kui's relationship to get a loan from their bank, or
Wouldn't it be much more convenient if leverage was enabled?
With purpose, the two of them talked very smoothly and gradually became familiar with each other.
After a while, he came with his girlfriend. Everyone was already acquaintances, so as soon as everyone was there, the table was opened immediately.
As expected, he is a talkative person and is good at adjusting the atmosphere. The meal was lively and the relationship between them became much closer.
Zhou Chen and Guo Ran hadn't seen each other for a long time. They had a few drinks with each other, and Guo Ran also introduced his girlfriend to Zhou Chen.
Although he only said a few words, Zhou Chen could tell that this girl was pretty good, at least many times better than Guoran's ex-girlfriend.
After the meal, Zhou Chen and Li Kui made an appointment to have tea together next time, and then everyone dispersed.
"Husband, you and Li Kui had a good chat, didn't you?"
On the way home, Yang Tao drove the car and asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen: "It's okay. Li Kui is okay. It's just that it's unethical to drive away his father. But that's their family's business and has nothing to do with us. I made an appointment with him for tea because I wanted to get through him."
Relationships, loans from their banks, etc.”
Upon hearing that Zhou Chen wanted a loan, Yang Tao suddenly looked nervous: "Husband, do you have no money? If you have no money, I still have some."
After getting married, Zhou Chen gave Yang Tao a lot of money and asked her to keep it. But Yang Tao was a woman who knew how to live a good life, so she didn't touch the money and saved it.
"No, I've been eyeing a few stocks recently, and I'm planning to buy them. I don't have enough money, so I want to buy more. Li Kui happens to have connections, so I want to buy from him."
"Well, hubby, I don't know much about stocks. I just think the risks are too great. We are living a good life now and we are not short of money. Do we still want to buy stocks?"
Yang Tao knew that Zhou Chen originally made money through stock finance, but in her opinion, this thing is similar to gambling, and no one can guarantee a guaranteed profit, so it is not very practical.
Zhou Chen said confidently: "Don't worry, wife, your husband will not do anything he is not sure about. Since I have decided to take action, I will not lose money, so don't worry."
Although the film and television world he traveled through is different from the real world, some developments are still similar. He has countless memories in his mind and has studied stocks for many years, so he still has a lot of confidence.
There is no guarantee of how much money you will make, but if something goes wrong, it is not a problem to stop the loss in time.
In the days that followed, Zhou Chen continued to research stocks, and finally selected four stocks, which were somewhat similar to some stocks that had risen sharply in the real world and had a trend of rising sharply.
Soon after, he took advantage of Li Kui's relationship and borrowed a lot of money from their bank. Of course, all required collateral.
Naturally, Li Kui will not lose money, and Zhou Chen's loan will also be counted as his performance.
Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
That night, Zhou Chen and Yang Tao had dinner at the mother-in-law's house across the street again.
Su Qing works in the library and has a formal establishment. She needs to go to work after her maternity leave expires, so the child is temporarily left to Xue Sumei.
Because she has to take care of her children, Xue Sumei is no longer as cool as before. She has to take care of her children at home every day. Even when she goes out to buy groceries, she always takes her children with her in a pushcart.
"Taozi, are you still silent?"
Yang Tao raised his head and asked in confusion: "Mom, what's going on?"
Xue Sumei said angrily: "I'm pregnant. It's been a few months. Are you still not pregnant?"
Yang Tao said depressedly: "It's not what you're doing. How can you say you're pregnant just because you're pregnant?"
Xue Sumei became even more angry: "I am married later than you. I am pregnant. What is your situation? Why don't you two go get checked?"
The last sentence made Yang Guo feel embarrassed and his face turned red.
"Mom, what are you talking about? What are you checking for? We have done all the pre-marriage check-ups. There is no problem. There is no need for a check-up."
"Then why aren't you pregnant yet? Xiao Zhou, did you lie to me last time?"
Xue Sumei looked at Zhou Chen with suspicious eyes.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "No, Mom, don't worry, Taozi and I are fine. We are not pregnant now because we are preparing for prenatal and postnatal care. I have been giving Taozi body supplements recently. When the body is better, we will
You’ll get pregnant soon.”
Xue Sumei asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong with Taozi's health?"
"That's not true. Taozi is considered to be at an advanced age to give birth at this age, and there are certain risks. That's why I want her to take good care of her body. I can't hurt Taozi's body just to give birth to a child. Are you right?"
After hearing Zhou Chen's explanation, Xue Sumei was doubtful.
"That being said, I can understand your kindness, but how long will it take? You don't know that because Weiwei is pregnant, Lan Caiping has been showing off in front of me, which makes me angry."
After saying this, Zhou Chen and the others finally understood why Xue Sumei was so anxious. It turned out that they had met their opponent.
