Chapter 400: The First Day of the New Year (Third update, please subscribe)
Many people will understand something after coming to Nanyang.
On this day, Yang Yuankai realized that he saw a new opportunity. He originally planned to open a bank, but after seeing the endless business opportunities hidden in venture capital, he immediately became interested in this industry.
Although he may not necessarily have sufficient funds on hand, he does know some bosses after having worked in the Shanghai banking circle for many years, so he took advantage of the approaching Spring Festival to visit them every day with gifts. Those bosses who are temporarily taking refuge in the Shanghai stock market.
Not to mention, this really made him see a business opportunity. After all, those bosses with a lot of money have not decided what business to invest in for a while, and many bosses have been persuaded by him. What venture capital companies are you willing to invest in?
What if it is as he said, and the return can be obtained dozens of times, or even hundreds of times?
"There really are more famous people crossing the river than crucian carp!"
As soon as he returned home, Yang Yuankai couldn't help but said to his wife.
“When I visited Boss Chen’s home today, I met Boss Xu from Ningbo. Unexpectedly, he also came to Nanyang.”
“You mean Siming Bank? That Boss Xu?”
"Yes, that's him. He also came to Nanyang. I just mentioned the venture capital thing a little bit, and he became interested and invested 500,000 in it all at once..."
While talking , Yang Yuankai couldn't help rubbing his palms in excitement and said excitedly.
"We now have almost more than 4 million in funds. We just need to find a suitable project. As long as it is a hit, we will have a firm foothold in Nanyang! By the way, where is Amon? She went there ?”
In his excitement, Yang Yuankai realized that his daughter was not at home. This girl is away from home every day.
“It’s not the school’s spring break. I went to the amusement park with Xi’er and the others.”
"Spring break, it's so rare. When will there be spring in Nanyang... Oh, by the way, it's the Spring Festival, yes, it's the Spring Festival..."
Although Nanyang is located in the tropics and does not have four seasons, for the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival Traditional Chinese festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival are taken far more seriously than in China, and even the Hungry Ghost Festival is given a day off.
As for the Spring Festival, schools will have a half-month spring break, companies will also have a three-day holiday around New Year's Eve, the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, and a two-day holiday for the Yuanxiao Festival.
Like the Spring Festival in previous years, the streets of Chang'an are full of red lanterns, allowing people to see the New Year atmosphere at a glance. The streets were crowded and the streets were filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Being on the streets of Chang'an, Yang Meng, a girl from Shanghai, looked at everything around her curiously. Although she had been here for almost half a year, she was still full of curiosity about this city. Watching the prosperity of this city, curious about the surroundings Everything, but what made her most curious was the people here. Everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles. That kind of rich and peaceful look was something she could not see in Shanghai. Not only could she not see it here, Beggars can be seen everywhere on the city streets, and poor people in shabby clothes are nowhere to be seen.
"It's really a magical place."
In Yang Meng's little head, this is a magical place, not just the prosperity on the surface, the kind of happiness that people radiate from the inside out , something she couldn’t see or experience anywhere else. But here, she could feel it all.
This sense of satisfaction that people exude from within. Even that kind of happiness was something she had never felt anywhere else.
This feeling made her feel very comfortable, because it was a feeling she had never experienced before, and it was what she yearned for.
Just at this moment, Wang Xier, who had just ran away without knowing it, appeared again, took her hand, and said excitedly.
"Mengmeng, hurry up, hurry up, let's go to the amusement park. The roller coaster there has been put into use in advance..."
"Roller coaster? What kind of car is that?"
"It's the roller coaster." Speeding, the first one in Asia!”
Soon the two little sisters jumped on the bus to the amusement park, and many people would go there that day. Go to the amusement park to play, where many people are queuing up to ride the first roller coaster in Asia, enjoying the thrill and screams of rushing down from a height of tens of meters.
In the amusement park, there were people queuing up everywhere. When Yang Meng and the others were queuing up, they saw a group of teenagers of different ages wearing khaki uniforms. Different from the other people queuing up in a noisy way, they No matter where they are, there are neat queues. Noticing the curiosity in Yang Meng's eyes, Wang Xi'er, as "Old Nanyang", said.
"They are all from King's School."
"What?"
Yang Meng asked doubtfully.
"The King's School?"
"Yes, they are different from us. Most of them are orphans without parents, and many are exiled students without parents, so they are all recruited into the King's School. Their food, accommodation and study are all the King's responsibility. Well, everyone calls them King. "
Wang Xier's explanation made Yang Meng even more curious. He looked at the "king's children" lining up like soldiers. Their order was obviously not what others had.
Zhao Maotou has long been accustomed to the looks from the outside world. As a squad leader, in addition to paying attention to his military appearance, he will occasionally remind the classmates around him that after all, their every move One movement represents the image of King's School, and it also applies to the playground.
Today, the school organized them to go to the playground to play and have fun, but they must also pay attention to their image. After all, everyone is watching them.
Two people form a row and three people form a team. While walking like in school, Zhao Maotou said when he saw Gao Binghan, who had just entered school last year, staring at the pomegranates on the stall when he passed by the fruit stall.
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat pomegranates? This is a pomegranate from the Yunhai Plateau. It can only be grown on the plateau in Southeast Asia. It is very rare... If you want to eat it, I will buy one later and we can try it together."
"I don't eat pomegranates."
Gao Binghan shook his head repeatedly, but his eyes were still staring at the pomegranates from time to time, and even his eye sockets were a little red.
“I hate it.”
As he spoke, Gao Binghan almost cried. Seeing this, Zhao Maotou said.
"What's wrong with you? It's just a pomegranate."
"Looking at it, I miss my mother,"
Gao Binghan said with red eyes.
“When I left my hometown last year, it was a few days before August 15th. When the pomegranates were ripe, my grandma gave me a pomegranate when she got in the car. I sat in the car and ate the pomegranate with my head down. A classmate who was riding with me told me, Gao Binghan, your mother was saying hello to you. The car had already left by then, so I took an extra bite of pomegranate. When I turned around, the car had turned a corner and I didn’t see my mother. I cried in the car, and the pomegranate was thrown away by me. Just now, when I saw the pomegranate, I thought of my mother, so I hated the pomegranate and never wanted to eat it again."
Said, said. , the teenage boy had already burst into tears, and several other people with similar status to him in the class also choked up.
Gao Binghan was crying while holding the pen that his father had used. It was given to him by his mother when he left his hometown and was a relic of his father.
At this time, Zhao Maotou felt sour in his heart, and finally said softly.
"At least you still have your mother. You can go back and see her sooner or later. But my mother has died long ago...I don't even know where she is buried..."
As he said, His eyes were also red. Suddenly, he wiped his tears hard and said loudly.
“Okay, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, let’s have fun for a day, so that my mother will feel at ease knowing that you are crying here, she may be very sad! Let’s go! , let’s go ride the roller coaster!”
As he spoke, Zhao Maotou took the lead and ran in the direction of the roller coaster. When the others saw this, they all ran over, no longer queuing or paying attention to their image. On this day, their laughter was everywhere in the amusement park, everywhere...
