Chapter 1345 Stock up on a batch of gold (4100 words) Asking for a monthly pass
"Dad, let me tell you, I just saw the stars. It's such a big star. Look at it blinking in the sky." Tongtong lay in Xia Zekai's arms and pointed to a certain star in the sky.
said.
Xia Zekai also pretended to look up at the sky, but he only saw a very small star hanging there in the gray sky. It was twinkling, but it was not even big.
In the past 20 years, Qicheng's economy has developed rapidly, and its economy has been dominated by chemical and heavy industries. This has also caused its environment to be far from harmonious.
"Dad, grandma said there is Chang'e in the sky, where is Chang'e? Can I have a word with her?" Tongtong asked again.
But his voice was much softer. When Xia Zekai lowered his head and was about to tell her that it was a fairy tale and wanted to tell her the origin of that fairy tale, he realized that Tongtong had fallen asleep on his lap.
He picked her up, went upstairs and put her on the bed. By this time, the girl was already fast asleep.
It was already after midnight, and Qingyu, Chenchen, Jingling and the other three siblings had fallen asleep long ago.
His brother Xia Zejiang and his family of three were too sleepy to hold on any longer and went to bed.
"Tongtong is asleep!" Xia Zekai returned to the bedroom, and his wife was still in bed, not resting.
"Well, she just fell asleep. She is so energetic. In another two years, I won't be able to survive her." Xia Zekai yawned, almost too sleepy to open his eyes.
Luo Xiyun didn't do anything when she saw it. She said: "Who told her to ask you to accompany her to tell stories tonight? I don't have any other options. Get some rest quickly. There are many things to do tomorrow!"
"Well!" Xia Zekai said, closed his eyes and started to feel sleepy.
…
For three consecutive days, Xia Zekai was busy at home receiving visitors who came to visit him for New Year greetings.
During this period, his father Xia Weicheng and mother Zhou Yinghong went back to their hometown to visit their grandfather, but he did not follow them back.
"Brother Seven, sit down quickly." Xia Zekai welcomed Yang Tiande into the door and quickly asked him to sit down.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down quickly."
Yang Tiande, his wife Huang Xuemei and son Yang Mingyong all came with them.
Seeing Yang Mingyong, Xia Zekai thought seriously for a while and then said: "Brother Qi, sister-in-law, I can't remember clearly. My nephew called Xiaoyong, right?"
"We only met once in total, and it was two years ago. Brother Xia really has a good memory." Yang Tiande was really impressed.
"Haha, but I remember that Xiaoyong used to be quite prosperous. Is this running exercise?" Xia Zekai asked again.
The impression was too deep on him. In his memory, Yang Mingyong was a proper little fat man, but looking at him now, he was very lean from top to bottom, which didn't match the image in his memory at all.
Yang Tiande laughed and said: "He was too fat before, so I forced him to run. Now it seems that the effect is not bad."
Huang Xuemei said to him: "Old Qi, just brag, everything is your credit."
"Sister-in-law, is there something hidden here?" Xia Zekai became interested and asked.
Unexpectedly, Yang Mingyong said it himself: "Uncle Kai, I liked a girl in school, but she dumped me because she thought I was fat!"
"..." Xia Zekai was speechless.
He was shocked. Is this because he was rejected for being fat and was emotionally frustrated before he worked hard?
But when he thought about the fact that there were students in his daughter's school who were in love, it was more normal for a child as old as Yang Mingyong, but he was a bit rare and strange.
After Yang Mingyong said this himself, he stopped talking.
Yang Tiande shook his head: "Son, that girl is blind."
Huang Xuemei also nodded: "Mingyong, you should study hard now. When you go to a good university in the future, you will definitely find a better and more outstanding one."
Yang Mingyong was a little helpless and said: "Dad, Mom, I told you I'm fine, why don't you believe it?"
"Besides, it's been almost a year, am I okay?" Yang Mingyong seemed to have really let go of this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have said it so neatly.
Luo Xiyun came over with fruit. She smiled and said, "Brother Qi, sister-in-law, have you just come back from your parents' home?"
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
"Well, I just came back this morning, have you been there?" Yang Tiande asked.
Luo Xiyun smiled and said, "Not yet. When my mother comes back from her hometown in two days, we will go there again."
"This is good and convenient!" Huang Xuemei nodded and said.
While talking, Xia Zekai remembered something and said to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, bring some dried fruits for Xiaoyong."
"Look at my brain, I was so busy talking, why did I forget this?" Luo Xiyun went to get dried fruits.
Yang Tiande and Huang Xuemei said there was no need to go to such trouble, but Luo Xiyun had already left.
"Brother Qi, don't you have anything else to do today? Let's have a drink at noon." Xia Zekai asked.
"We are all here with your brother Xia, so we must drink two more drinks." Yang Tiande laughed and said.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Xuemei subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his wife didn't speak.
As he said himself, he is not afraid of anything outside and dares to fight with others with a knife, but when he comes home, he is still afraid of his wife.
For no other reason than the fact that his wife did her best to take care of her and the children in her hometown during the years when he went there, he admitted that he had been chained for the rest of his life.
Huang Xuemei's idea is even simpler.
She always felt that this little brother Xia Zekai was a noble person in their family. He not only led Lao Qi to the right path, but also showed their family a path to wealth.
They are really wealthy. Last year, Capita Home Decoration Co., Ltd. paid more than 100 million in dividends alone, and their family got more than 80 million.
The seventh child in their family has always done evil things before, but he has never seen him earn so much money.
Let Lao Qi and Brother Xia drink together, she can rest assured!
"Xiaoyong, try these dried fruits. They are all new products just developed by your Uncle Kai company. They taste very good." Luo Xiyun brought two plates of dried fruits and placed them in front of Yang Mingyong.
Then he went to bring two more plates and put them in front of Yang Tiande and Huang Xuemei: "Sister-in-law, seventh brother, you guys also have a try."
"Sister, don't be too polite." Huang Xuemei saw that Luo Xiyun was still going to work, so she quickly took her hand and asked her to sit down.
"It's okay!" Luo Xiyun just sat down, and then there was a burst of crying. She had no choice but to stand up and take a look again.
As a result, Chenchen and Jing Ling got into a fight. As soon as the two brothers started fighting, Chenchen was defeated immediately. He was no match for Jing Ling. He was knocked down in three strikes, five divided by two.
When she passed by, Jing Ling was riding on Chenchen, waving at her brother with her little fists.
Luo Xiyun was so angry that he slapped him twice, but this kid was too naughty and thought it was fun for his mother to hit him, so he laughed so happily.
Xia Zekai asked his wife what was going on, and after Luo Xiyun finished speaking, several people laughed.
It is very normal for children to fight and make noise, especially for brothers of the same age, it is even more unavoidable.
When Luo Xiyun was teaching her son there, Huang Xuemei also went over to help look after the child.
Xia Zekai, Yang Tiande and his son Yang Mingyong were left in the living room.
Yang Tiande took the initiative to talk about his trip to other places to develop markets.
'Capita Home Decoration' relies on the 'Jingtong Baby' self-purchased store, and follows the path of the 'Jingtong Baby' offline self-purchased stores, and has opened 'Capita Home Decoration' to all parts of the country.
However, the main base is still the provinces surrounding Jidong Province. In this way, "Capita Home Decoration" has now become one of the few large-scale decoration companies in the country.
But this thing also has limitations, the most important one is local protection.
To put it bluntly, those who engage in real estate and decoration are always a little gray in nature. If "Capita Home Decoration" has passed, it is undoubtedly a land grab with local snakes.
When Capita Home Furnishing goes out to open up markets on other people's territory, it is just to steal other people's food. This is really not that easy to do. The further away from Jidong Province, the more out of reach it becomes.
It's impossible to say that nothing happened.
Fortunately, Yang Tiande had been on the road before, and he was very familiar with this area. He had been hanging out with Xia Zekai for a long time, and he had thoroughly understood the trick of 'profit sharing'.
Jidong Province was really too far away, so he cooperated with local 'influential' people.
If he really encounters something difficult to deal with, he will explain to his partners who the shareholders of 'Capita Home Decoration' are. He knows that 'Capita Home Decoration' actually still has 30% of Xia Zekai's shares, even if it is some people from other places who are walking sideways.
I will also give you three points of face.
After all, many people know in their hearts that the plutocrats on the list are not easy to mess with.
After Yang Tiande finished speaking, Xia Zekai finally understood what Yang Tiande had gone through last year: "Brother Qi, thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, these are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning." Yang Tiande waved his hands, not caring about them at all.
But when Yang Mingyong looked at his father's casual writing, the expression on his face was particularly complicated.
Jiang Ningning came over and asked Xia Zekai: "Mr. Xia, are you preparing meals now, or should you book a room in a hotel?"
"Let's make it at home, there are no outsiders. Sister Jiang, please do some hard work, show off your housekeeping skills, and let seventh brother, sister-in-law, and nephews all have a taste of your craftsmanship." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
Jiang Ning would rather not take it.
"Brother Xia, in your opinion, how long can this real estate industry remain popular?" Yang Tiande asked a question.
He is not someone who knows nothing, and he also understands that the real estate industry will not be invincible forever.
In his view, every industry will have a life cycle. Since there is a high point, there must be a freezing point, and that time will also be the freezing point of the decoration industry.
When Xia Zekai heard Yang Tiande's question, he looked at him a few times. He originally wanted to take the opportunity of their meeting to talk to Yang Tiande about this matter, but he didn't expect that Yang Tiande himself realized this.
"Brother Qi, I originally wanted to tell you about this." Xia Zekai said.
After hearing what Xia Zekai said, Yang Tiande knew that he was right to come here today.
Xia Zekai did not show off his limited real estate knowledge, he just said: "Seventh Brother, normally according to an industry cycle of eight to ten years, if it goes beyond that, I think this industry may have another six or seven years.
It won’t be easy to do.”
"I can't say exactly what it will be." Xia Zekai said simply.
But Yang Tiande still understood. He nodded and said, "Brother Xia, I understand."
"In addition, regarding the company's scale, I don't think disorderly expansion is necessary. Let's stick to our basics and set up a few offices in other places. This can also save a lot of operating costs." Xia Zekai made a suggestion.
.
Yang Tiande understood again, and he said: "Brother Xia, you are right. I have been thinking about this issue recently, whether the company should continue to expand next."
"In fact, in the real estate market, prices have dropped this year compared to the end of last year, and the sentiment for buying houses in the market has also been curbed to a certain extent, but you still have to buy if you just need it."
Hearing what Yang Tiande said, Xia Zekai nodded: "Brother Qi, you are right. This is indeed the case. However, I am afraid that the market will be irrational and the price will continue to rise. At that time, everyone will follow the trend of buying up and not buying down."
"For us, the overall situation is good. At least it will be no problem to make money within a few years." Yang Tiande said.
"As for what will happen in a few years, when we have a large amount of cash, are we still afraid that we can't find a better investment industry?"
Xia Zekai smiled and nodded: "Seventh brother, you are right. Even if you settle for second best and have a large amount of cash flow, you can be a carefree rich man in this life."
"Haha, brother Xia is right, this can be considered a retreat." Yang Tiande breathed a sigh of relief.
…
At noon, Yang Tiande and Xia Zekai drank more than a kilogram of white wine. When they left Xia Zekai's place, their expressions did not change, and they did not look like they had drunk at all.
On the way back, Huang Xuemei was driving their Audi A6L, and Yang Tiande was sitting in the passenger seat. He said, "I just chatted with Brother Xia for a while, and he also felt that it is not appropriate for the company to continue to expand."
"In this case, all the subsequent annual profits will be used as dividends, and then you can save the money for emergencies."
Huang Xuemei turned to look at him and asked him: "There is no need to expand the scale anymore? The money is deposited in the bank, won't it be wasted?"
"Do you know how to invest?" Yang Tiande asked his wife.
Huang Xuemei shook her head directly: "I don't know anything about investing. I only know how to buy some gold bars and hoard them. But the current price of gold bars is more than 250 yuan. Is it a bit expensive?"
"It shouldn't be expensive. I remember last year or the year before, it was 300 yuan per gram, right?" Yang Tiande wasn't sure either.
But he still said: "Otherwise, you can take the time to buy some gold and save it."
"I really want to buy it, what if I lose the money?" Huang Xuemei felt a little panicked.
Although her family is rich, she still has a farm mentality, and it is difficult to completely change her mindset.
Yang Tiande shook his head and said: "Honey, you don't understand. As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times. I always feel that this world is unstable, and there are always people who want to stir up trouble! Gold may really rise sharply by then."
"Besides, even if gold doesn't rise for a while, as long as we don't sell it, we won't be able to compensate. The worst we can do is hoard it for decades and keep it for our son and grandson as a cushion for the family." Yang Tiande glanced at the seat in the back row.
The son on the bed said with a smile.
With such a son, shouldn’t everything in the family be left to him?
