After seeing off Fatty Ma and Song Jun, Zhuang Rui sat back in the yard and began to think alone.
Ordinarily, based on his relationship with the Song family, this investment should be a sure profit, but if Zhuang Rui invests more than 2 billion in one go, he still needs to think carefully.
"Huh? Whose phone number is it?"
Suddenly, Zhuang Rui's cell phone rang. When he picked it up, there was no caller ID.
"Hello, who's there?" Zhuang Rui answered the phone.
"Is this Zhuang Rui? The chief wants to have a phone call with you..."
An unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone. After Zhuang Rui agreed, the phone seemed to be handed over to another person's hand.
"Xiao Rui, I am uncle..."
Ouyang Zhenshan's majestic voice came from the phone.
"Uncle? You...why do you have time to call me? What's the matter?"
When Zhuang Rui heard that it was Ouyang Zhenshan, he couldn't help but stand up with his mobile phone. Maybe it was because he had less contact? Compared with the old man of the Ouyang family, Zhuang Rui was more afraid of the current head of the Ouyang family.
Although my uncle would come to the courtyard for a meal every seven or eight days, he had never called Zhuang Rui in private, which made Zhuang Rui feel a little flattered.
"Well, nothing happened. The boy from the Song family went to find you, right?"
"Yes, I just sent Brother Song away. Uncle, what's the matter?"
Zhuang Rui was a little confused and a little angry. After hearing what his uncle said, why did he feel like he was being watched?
Ouyang Zhenshan didn't care what Zhuang Rui had in mind. He said on the phone: "You can agree to what he told you. If the money is not enough, go to Xiaojun and ask for it..."
"Wait a minute, uncle, what's going on?"
The more Zhuang Rui listened, the more confused he became. Is it just a business? Although the investment is not small, the amount of more than two billion US dollars is probably not enough for a member of the Standing Committee of the National Security Bureau to intervene, right?
"Just follow the old man's orders. Remember, you want a 10% share..."
Ouyang Zhenshan didn't say much. After explaining the matter, he hung up the phone directly. There was a meeting to be held later, and he didn't have much time to explain to Zhuang Rui.
To be honest, Ouyang Zhenshan was quite dissatisfied with the old man's decision. Although he loved his little sister very much, he did not want his nephew to participate in these investments related to the national strategic reserve materials.
Although the money can be made quickly this way, it will also attract a lot of attention. If you want Zhuang Rui to make money, there are many projects in the country. You may not earn that much, but it should be enough for Zhuang Rui to last a lifetime.
But Ouyang Zhenshan doesn't know that even if Zhuang Rui doesn't do anything now and just eats lobster and abalone all day long, he still has enough money to last for several lifetimes. For Zhuang Rui now, making money is more about pursuing a kind of pursuit.
A sense of personal accomplishment.
The reason why Zhuang Rui participated in this investment was not actually Mr. Ouyang's idea. It was just a return from the Song family to Zhuang Rui.
"So that's what happened..."
After hearing his uncle's words, Zhuang Rui understood a little bit in his heart. Daqing was something the two old men had instigated. Maybe they felt a little embarrassed about being favored by their juniors, right?
After figuring out the whole story, Zhuang Rui felt relieved. Since it was Mr. Song who gave him the money, there was no reason why he shouldn't want it. I'm afraid with the domineering nature of those old guys, even if he didn't want it, it wouldn't be possible.
Zhuang Rui took out the phone and was about to call the Song family, but after thinking about it, he put the phone away and it would not be too late to reply to Song Jun tomorrow.
…
Just when Zhuang Rui stood up and was about to go back to see his wife, Peng Fei led someone through the corridor of the central courtyard and walked over. Zhuang Rui was stunned when he saw it.
"Dad? Why didn't you say anything first when you came..."
The man who came in with Peng Fei was Zhuang Rui's Taishan Master Qin Haoran, and Zhuang Rui quickly greeted him.
"It was a temporary decision. I happened to have something to discuss with you, so I came over..."
Qin Haoran must have just gotten off the plane, looking dusty, and he didn't bring any luggage, so he came with empty hands.
"You don't miss your mother-in-law, do you?"
Zhuang Rui made up a sentence in his mind for his father-in-law. Fang Yi rushed over from Hong Kong when Qin Xuanbing was five months pregnant. She has been living here with Zhuang Rui and taking care of Qin Xuanbing with Ouyang Wan.
So Zhuang Rui felt that his father-in-law might be missing his mother-in-law when he came here. Speaking of middle-aged people, they also need "sex" to live a happy life.
At this moment, Ouyang Wan and others who were originally in the room also saw Qin Haoran and came out to greet him. Qin Xuanbing even came to the middle courtyard with a big belly, and there was another bustle.
It seemed that Qin Haoran was really busy. Zhuang Rui originally thought that his father-in-law would go to rest first and have some intimacy with his mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, after meeting his mother-in-law, Qin Haoran pulled him to the wing in the backyard.
However, Fang Yi and Qin Xuanbing were also sitting nearby. As for Ouyang Wan, she deliberately stepped aside. She could tell that Qin Haoran seemed to have something to say to his son.
"Dad, if you need anything, just call me. Why do you have to go there in person?"
Zhuang Rui poured a cup of hot tea for his father-in-law. It was already biting cold wind in December. It was obvious that Qin Haoran was not used to the weather here. After sitting down, he breathed into his hands with his mouth.
"I just came to see Bing'er, and I want to tell you something by the way..."
Qin Haoran took a sip of tea and continued: "Originally, Bing'er was pregnant, and I didn't want you to go there, but something happened to the third child just now, and my mother is not up to expectations. Your mother is a woman, and it's not easy for her to be exposed.
The old man has not participated in the management of the company for many years, you really need to make a trip on this matter..."
Zhuang Rui listened to his father-in-law and seemed to have something to do on his own. He quickly said: "Dad, what's the matter? Just tell me..."
It is natural for others to marry their daughters off to help their father-in-law do something.
Fang Yi didn't seem to know Qin Haoran's purpose before, but after hearing what he said, she seemed to understand and interrupted Zhuang Rui's words, saying: "Haoran, can't you let *** go? Look at Xuan
Bing's belly is about to give birth in two months at most. How could it happen if Xiao Rui is not around?
If *** doesn’t live up to expectations, he is still your biological brother. Don’t let him do anything. Maybe he will still have ideas in his heart..."
Qin Haoran sighed and said: "Oh, *** went to Macau some time ago and lost nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and was banned by our father. And even if it didn't happen, I wouldn't worry about letting him go. Who knows?
Will he take the money and gamble again?"
Zhuang Rui was speechless as he listened to the sidelines. This Qin family's father-in-law is really a prodigal. He can even lose 100 million. No wonder the father-in-law would rather go to the police station to find him than let his own brothers do things.
"It's like this. This year, the mainland canceled the import tax on diamonds. Many domestic diamond merchants went directly to South Africa to buy diamonds. Because the prices they offered were slightly higher, the share that originally belonged to us is now much less...
"
After listening to Qin Haoran's explanation, Zhuang Rui understood that it turned out that after the diamond tax was abolished in the mainland, businessmen who were originally attached to Hong Kong companies started their own businesses and directly contacted those international diamond suppliers.
Chinese people have a very bad characteristic when doing business, that is, they raise each other's prices. As for international diamond suppliers, they will naturally supply to whomever offers the higher price.
There are only a few places where diamonds are produced, and a certain number of diamonds are produced every year. As a result, the opening up of domestic diamond import and export has caused a great deal of disruption to the supply of diamonds to many established jewelry companies in Hong Kong.
Troubled.
You must know that the sales of diamonds in jewelry stores are slightly higher than that of jade jewelry, especially since China has been affected by foreign countries in recent years, and diamond rings must be exchanged for marriages.
This custom of foreigners has directly eliminated the tradition of older people wearing gold jewelry when they get married, so young people who have money but no money always have to buy two diamond rings when they get married.
As a result, domestic sales of diamond jewelry alone have reached 50 billion RMB every year, accounting for a little more than 40% of the total sales of various jewelry stores.
Therefore, if Qin's Jewelry cannot purchase a year's worth of diamonds next year, it will be squeezed out of a lot of market share. Although it is not a fatal blow to Qin's Jewelry, it will also cause it to suffer.
His vitality was severely damaged.
As for the Qin family, although they have made some gains in business over the past year or so, and thanks to Zhuang Rui's glory, they have occupied a place in the domestic jade market, there is still a problem within the Qin family.
There are three Qin Haoran brothers. He is the eldest and the head of the Qin family. The other two brothers all work in the family business, but *** is a serious playboy who only gambles and plays with women every day.
Especially some time ago, Mr. Qin went to Macau to gamble. He gambled for five days and five nights and exported 100 million Hong Kong dollars. In the end, he was detained by the casino, and it was Qin Haoran who personally sent the money to redeem it.
After Mr. Qin returned to Hong Kong, the old man was so angry that he used crutches to break Mr. Qin's legs and asked him to do things, which was not reliable at all.
The third uncle of the Qin family is quite capable. He handles half of the family's business. However, the third uncle of the Qin family, who is only *** years older than Zhuang Rui, likes playing with cars the most. In the first two months,
Kazuto had an accident while racing and suffered multiple comminuted fractures throughout his body. He is still lying on the hospital bed.
Therefore, Qin Haoran has not only been busy with his own affairs in the past few months, but also has to take over the work that Qin Laosan was originally responsible for. He is very busy. Otherwise, he will definitely be involved in the purchase of diamonds this time.
Going to.
"Dad, do you want me to go to South Africa to purchase diamonds for Qin Jewelry?"
After listening to Qin Haoran's words, Zhuang Rui asked. It is true that he is an expert in jade, but Zhuang Rui is really not very proficient in diamonds.
