Ever since Hao Wei graduated from college, Hao Youqian had tried every means to get him into the Pearl, planning to take him for a few years and then hand over the empire he had built into his hands.
However, Hao Wei only wanted to be a lawyer and refused to take over the throne of the jewelry king.
Over the years, father and son have had countless battles over this. They have fought, scolded, and even went so far as to sever the relationship between father and son. But in the end, Hao Youqian still could not defeat Hao Wei.
Ever since Hao Wei became a lawyer last year, Hao Youqian has completely given up. He often feels sorry for himself and has no successor to the country he built.
Hao Wei's twists and turns this time gave him the feeling that happiness came too suddenly. Finally, his son showed signs of changing his mind. Of course, he couldn't give up so easily.
But money is his life, and the hard-earned money, knowing that it is a fire pit, he is not willing to just throw it in and burn it like paper.
Hao Youqian sighed helplessly, handed Hao Wei a cigarette, pulled Hao Wei to the transparent glass wall, looked at the tall buildings outside, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "Son, dad
I am a child from a poor family. I have no royal relatives or rich friends. When I was a child, I only ate one meal a day and was never full. Twenty years ago, I would not have dared to dream.
Imagine being able to work in a high-rise building like this."
"It's not easy for your father and me to be where we are today. Back then, I risked my life and traveled to Southeast Asia reselling jade ore with 10,000 U.S. dollars. It took me five years to go from 10,000 U.S. dollars to one million."
"At that time, the border between China and Myanmar was in chaos. Once I fell in love with a batch of jade and invested all one million in it. On the way back, I encountered a group of bandits and all the people accompanying me died."
Hao Youqian took a deep breath of cigarette, as if falling into painful memories, "I was shot in the armpit and passed out lying on the ground. I was also lucky, and a heavy rain woke me up. When I woke up
At that time, five entire trucks of jade ore were stolen."
"Next to me are more than a dozen corpses, most of which are my childhood playmates and friends."
Hao Youqian's eyes were slightly red and he continued:
"I endured severe pain and walked into a small village in a daze. The villagers in the village rescued me. Later, the gunshot wound under my arm healed, but the wound in my heart did not heal. All my savings were gone, and my brothers were gone.
.During that time, whenever I closed my eyes, all I could think of was their bloody appearance. At that time, I was so despairing that I would rather die than live."
Hao Youqian took a deep breath on his cigarette, "I didn't dare to go back to my hometown. I was afraid that my uncles would ask me for a son. I didn't dare to leave the village. I was afraid that the bandits would kill me and silence me. I lived in the village for a year like this.
I recruited a new group of people to make a comeback."
He patted Hao Wei on the shoulder and said, "It's not easy for dad to have such a small fortune. Son, you have to know how to cherish it."
Hao Wei handed Hao Youqian a napkin. Hao Youqian took the napkin and wiped his eyes. This was the first time in these years that his son was so kind to him, and he suddenly felt very comforted.
"Son, I knew you could understand me."
"Dad, it's useless for you to play the emotional card with me."
"You"! Hao Youqian's emotion and comfort disappeared instantly, "What Dad said is true. Do you think the title of Jewelry King of the East China Sea fell from the sky?"
"Dad," Hao Wei said seriously, "I know what you are saying is the truth, and I also know that it is not easy for you."
He took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "You said these things can touch my soul, I am very touched. But I can't really understand it, because after all, it is your experience, not mine."
Hao Youqian wanted to curse, but he swallowed the words and sighed helplessly.
"Dad, do you know why I don't want to take over the family business?"
Hao Youqian looked at his son blankly, "Isn't it because you want to be a chivalrous and righteous lawyer?"
"Yes, but not entirely." He said with a touch of sadness on his face.
"You know my relationship with Chen Yang."
Hao Youqian nodded, "You and Yoko have a crotch-crossing friendship. We have been in the same school from kindergarten to university. You two are also known as the 'Tsinghua Double Swords' in Tsinghua. That damn fat guy Chen Zhen often
Showing off how capable and upbeat Yoko is in front of me makes me want to beat him every time."
Hao Wei blew out a smoke ring with a hint of loneliness on his face. "Chen Yang and I are still friends now, but we can't go back to the past. The Chen Yang who was frank and honest with each other and talked about everything is gone when he joins Sino-Ocean Group.
Return".
Hao Youqian frowned and comforted: "Son, people change. Chen Yang's current status cannot allow him to be the same as before."
Hao Wei nodded, "Yes, that's exactly why I don't want to be in charge of Mingzhu. I'm afraid of becoming like him."
Hao Youqian looked at Hao Wei in surprise. Only then did he understand the real reason why Hao Wei was unwilling to accept the pearl.
Feeling both surprise and emotion, I took two deep puffs of cigarette, put my arm around Hao Wei's shoulders, and said, "Son, you are different from him."
"dad"!
"Dad believes in you"!
"What about the cooperation with Shanhai Group"?
Hao Youqian patted his bald head and said, "You have the final say."
"You will lose a lot of money"?
"If you lose money and then make it back, it's not like I've never lost money before."

Ye Yichen has always kept his integrity and never participated in any form of business struggle. The last time he took action against the Meng family was because Ye Zixuan almost died at the hands of the Meng family. It was not to help the Zeng family or to give Lu Shanmin any face.
Speaking of love, Ye Yichen is Nalan Zijian's uncle, and he has a deep connection with the Nalan family. However, the slight relationship between Lu Shanmin and the Ye family was cut off by Ye Yichen when Ye Zixuan went to study abroad.
Neither Zeng Yaqian nor Ruan Yu had the slightest confidence in persuading Ye Yichen.
But they had to come with the attitude of giving it a try. Although the Ye family is not rich, it has a great reputation for its aloof status. Although they have persuaded Hao Youqian from Pearl Jewelry, it may not work as expected.
The effect will be even better if the Ye family sets an example and attracts others. At least Kan Jilin will be more convincing when he launches the Co-Prosperity Chamber of Commerce.
Zhu Chunying led the two people into the room with a smile, her eyes lingering on Zeng Yaqian for a moment longer.
After the two sat down, Zhu Chunying asked with a smile: "Coffee or tea?"
Ruan Yu smiled politely and said, "No need to trouble Mrs. Ye."
"I'm a guest here, no trouble." He said and looked at Zeng Yaqian with a smile.
Zeng Yaqian smiled and said: "I want a cup of coffee, thank you."
"Then I'd like a cup of coffee too, thank you."
Zeng Yaqian looked around for a week. The decoration layout of the living room was solemn and elegant. Although the decorations were more upscale than those of ordinary families, they were much simpler than those of wealthy families. From the decoration of the living room alone, it can be seen that the low-key style of the Ye family is profound.
marrow.
The barrier between the dining room and the living room is a fish tank that is almost one meter long and forty to fifty centimeters high. Two goldfish, one black and one red, are swimming slowly in it.
Zeng Yaqian couldn't help but think of Ye Zixuan muttering to the two goldfish, and the scene of her dancing in and out of the living room. Thinking of her figure, her heart felt inexplicably complicated.
Zhu Chunying quickly came over with two cups of coffee and sat next to Zeng Yaqian.
"Zixuan often mentions you, saying that you are not only beautiful but also very capable."
"Thank you, Mrs. Ye, Zixuan is much prettier than me."
Zhu Chunying smiled and said, "You are too humble. Zixuan said that you are her friend, so just call me Aunt Zhu."
Hearing the word 'friend', Zeng Yaqian felt a little complicated and even a little guilty. She knew that Ye Zixuan regarded her as a friend, but she still didn't know whether she regarded her as a friend.
Zeng Yaqian pursed her lips and smiled, "I'd better call you Mrs. Ye."
Zhu Chunying smiled, did not insist anymore, and said: "You guys sit down for a while, Yi Chen is in the study, I will ask him to come down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the second floor creaked, and Ye Yichen walked out of the study.
Zhu Chunying patted the back of Zeng Yaqian's hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Talk slowly."
Ye Yichen walked down the stairs slowly and sat across from the two of them.
Ruan Yu said: "Hello, Mr. Ye."
Ye Yichen nodded and glanced at Zeng Yaqian from the corner of his eye.
"Bet on yourself and your family. Lu Shanmin's method of deceiving girls is really clever."
Zeng Yaqian frowned slightly, clenched her teeth, and stared at Ye Yichen indifferently, saying nothing.
Ruan Yu quickly said: "Mr. Ye, you should be aware of our current situation. The Nalan family bullies others and wants to kill us. The entire East China Sea business community dares to be angry but dare not speak out."
Ye Yichen then turned his attention to Ruan Yu, with a touch of curiosity and admiration in his eyes: "You are very good at being able to shoulder such a big mess at such a young age."
Then he said calmly: "What the Nalan family wants to deal with is the Shanhai Group. It is an exaggeration to say that the entire East China Sea business community dares to be angry with them but dare not speak out."
Ruan Yu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zeng Yaqian, and said: "Mr. Ye, the behavior of the Nalan family is no longer normal business competition. To put it bluntly, it is an act of banditry. Anyone with some knowledge is not ashamed of it. Now public opinion
The scoldings against them are getting louder and louder." After saying this, he carefully observed Ye Yichen's expression. After all, the Nalan family was somewhat related to him, so he didn't know if Ye Yichen would be disgusted by the so-called lack of intimacy.
Ye Yichen's face was calm, without any movement, and he said calmly: "You want to drag Donghai Enterprises and the Nalan family to fight with each other, but have you ever thought that you are pushing these enterprises into a pit of fire? You said that the Nalan family are robbers.
You are no better off."
Ruan Yu frowned, "Shanhai Group never does anything to benefit itself at the expense of others. As long as we win this war in the end, we will give away 60% of the profits from all cooperation projects."
Ye Yichen looked coldly and said calmly: "Do you know how much wealth the Nalan family has? Do you know how much money they can mobilize? If you lose all your money in this battle, where will the profit be?"
