Chapter 174 Smooth Talk
Looking at Xu Liang's unpredictable appearance and being together for a long time, Jiang Xiaoyang instinctively felt that he was not lying, but it was hard for her to believe it rationally.
"Okay, don't worry about this anymore. There's a skewers in front of you, do you want to get some?"
"Are you not full yet?"
" I can still make more contributions to social and economic development," Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Glib tongue."
Stepping forward.
Xu Liang smiled and followed immediately.
Looking at the piles of skewers in front of me.
"Have you finished eating?" Jiang Xiaoyang couldn't help but ask.
"Why should I order it if I can't finish it? Come on, try it."
Jiang Xiaoyang didn't want to eat it at first, but he couldn't help but smell the aroma of the skewers.
Compared with her gentleness, Xu Liang just masturbated.
“This mutton is good, at least it’s real.”
“Is there any fake mutton?”
"You haven't been fooled at first glance. Many barbecue stalls mix pork with mutton essence to make people confused."
"Mutton essence? There is such a thing." Jiang Xiaoyang asked curiously.
“Sudan’s red, lean meat, essence, and white meat are pieces, only you can’t think of it, and no unscrupulous traders can’t do it.”
“How do you know this?”
< br>“Watch more news and pay more attention to current affairs, and you will naturally know.”
Pick up the beer.
“Would you like something to drink?”
Jiang Xiaoyang was a little ready to make a move, but in the end he shook his head.
"Forget it, I won't be able to drive if I drink, and we don't have to go home."
"Xiaoyang, have you heard this sentence?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Get yourself drunk and give others a chance."
Jiang Xiaoyang understood instantly and gave him a clean look.
A young man wearing a white chef's uniform came over carrying a tray.
“Your lamb kidneys are ready.”
"Put it here."
Looking at the tray of lamb kidneys that were placed slowly.
"Why did you order so much?"
Xu Liang said with a smile: "This is called the freedom of lamb loin. You can order as much as you want."
Speaking, quickly Pick up a bunch and put it in your mouth.
After chewing quickly, Xu Liang's face showed enjoyment.
"That's the taste. Do you want a bunch?"
Jiang Xiaoyang waved his hand in disgust, "I don't understand why you men like to eat such a naughty thing?"
< br>Her father and brother also like to order lamb kidneys when eating barbecue.
“You don’t understand this. Sheep kidneys are ‘a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women.’ You can eat them even if you say they are good.”
Jiang Xiaoyang smiled coldly, "Which woman are you filling up with oil to beautify?"
Xu Liang smiled awkwardly, "I just said that, just kidding."
" Huh.”
Jiang Xiaoyang snorted and turned his head away, continuing to eat his mutton skewers.
Xu Liang stopped talking and wisely turned the topic to work.
"Have you considered the investment direction of the Mars 3 Fund?"
"We are still investigating, but we have never found a suitable target."
This is what she has been worrying about. place.
The Internet is in deep quagmire and is not suitable for investment at the moment.
The uncertainty in the technology industry is too high, and she doesn’t understand it very well.
"If you don't have the right one, I have several directions for you to choose from."
Jiang Xiaoyang's eyes lit up, "Don't be shy, just tell me."
Xu Liang's business vision has passed Countless successes have proved that, and the eyewear industry and the medical and health industry that he is optimistic about have also grown rapidly in more than a year.
So she also wanted to hear his opinion.
“First, the artwork.
With the strong development of China's economy, people who have become rich will naturally pursue spiritual enjoyment.
Art collections will become more and more extensive.
So if you invest in art and sell it at high prices in the future, you will get a lot of returns. "
"Second, jewelry raw materials, especially jade, Hetian jade, field yellow, chicken bloodstone, etc.
The reason for investing is the same as investing in art. Another thing to note is that the raw materials of jewelry are non-renewable resources. As more and more are mined, the value will naturally increase. ”
"Third, rare earths.
Rare earths are the collective name for 17 metal elements such as lanthanum, scandium and yttrium in the periodic table. They play an irreplaceable role in the development of modern industry and are called 'industrial gold' .
As a major producer of rare earths, we do not have the right to price rare earths, and foreign companies jointly lower prices.
If we participate and intensify competition, we will definitely raise the price of rare earths. You can also obtain high profits after the price of rare earths rises."
Xu Liang's words opened Jiang Xiaoyang's horizons instantly.
Investment does not have to be a business. Precious metals, art, jewelry, and red wine can all be next choices.
"Of these three options, which one do you prefer?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked.
“All are possible, but for any of these three investment directions, we have to establish a repository to save it. Moreover, we don’t have to make a choice, we can do it at the same time.”
“You It’s so greedy, how can we have so much money to invest?”
“Invest in one phase first, and if it goes up, we can raise more funds in the second phase, just like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. " Xu Liang said.
"I thought you were going to invest some money for me, but it turns out that I should find the funds myself."
Xu Liang thought for a moment.
“At the end of this year, I will give you a sum of money.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Xu Liang nodded affirmatively.
Unsurprisingly, in 2002, China Internet should have bottomed out, and we must take advantage of this time to buy the bottom.
"This is what you said, I remember it."
"Yes."
While chatting, the two finished eating the skewers and looked at the time It was late and he left.
Arrive at Shichahai Siheyuan.
"Everyone else is a man sending a woman home, but why is it the other way around when it comes to me?" Jiang Xiaoyang complained.
“Of course I can take you home if you want.”
“Forget it, you drank so much, I don’t dare let you drive.”
"I think it's getting late, why don't you stay at my place today?" Xu Liang said with a smile.
"What else are you planning?" Jiang Xiaoyang asked warily.
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I am doing this entirely out of concern for my friends."
"Tch, I don't know you yet? You are a pervert. Okay, get down quickly, I want Let’s go.”
Xu Liang, who was about to get out of the car, suddenly turned his head.
Before Jiang Xiaoyang could react, his head was tightly hugged, and a hot breath enveloped him.
After a passionate kiss for a while, Xu Liang suddenly pulled away and backed away.
"Be careful when driving at night, I'm leaving."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.
The cold coming in from outside gave Jiang Xiaoyang goosebumps. He quickly arranged his clothes to cover his chest.
Looking at the man outside with a somewhat complicated expression.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly rolled down the window.
"Xu Liang, you are a bastard."
The words fell.
Kick the accelerator and the car speeds forward.
Looking at the car in the distance, thinking about the curse just now, Xu Liang sighed.
Reason told him that Jiang Xiaoyang should not be provoked.
But his feelings made him unable to help teasing the other person.
"Let nature take its course."
After Hongmeng's annual meeting and Hongyan's annual meeting were held, they both had a holiday, and Xu Liang was completely relaxed.
On the day before the 29th of the Lunar New Year, I took Xu Meng by plane to Weicheng.
Get out of Weicheng Airport.
"Brother Liang, here." The tall Huo Gang stood out in the crowd.
Drag the suitcase and walk over.
"Gangzi."
The two hugged.
“Brother Gang.”
Xu Meng greeted with a smile.
After Huo Gang nodded, he stretched out his hand.
“The car is over there.”
Walk over with the two of them.
As early as three days ago, Xu Liang asked Huo Gang to drive his Santana back early.
During the Chinese New Year, when I go out to visit relatives, I also have a car, so I don’t have to ride a bicycle to blow out the cold wind.
After finding a place to have lunch, Xu Liang went to the supermarket to purchase some new year's goods and gifts before returning home.
When he returned to his hometown again, everything was still the same as when he left.
Turn in from the village entrance.
The old men and women basking in the sun on the roadside saw it and started talking instantly.
“Where did you get the car?”
“Looking in the direction, it should be Xu Yongpei’s family. It is said that the eldest son of their family has made a fortune in the capital, and many young people in our village have followed him Went to the capital.”
“I know this. The lame boy followed him and made a lot of money.”
"I said why there are so many people running to Lao Xu's house recently carrying cigarettes and alcohol. It's because the young man is in love."
"Old Xu's family is prosperous this time."
I feel envious. There is jealousy.
"I can't see it. The eldest son of the Xu family is only eighteen years old this year, right? Young people talk nonsense but do things poorly. If they don't go to school and learn how to do business, they may lose money one day."
“I think so.”
Everyone was talking about everything.
After the car stopped, Xu Meng opened the door and ran in like a bird out of its cage.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Knowing that they were back, Xu Yongpei and Wang Lingxiang, who had been waiting at home for a long time, heard the noise and hurriedly came out to welcome them.
“Mom.”
Xu Meng cheered and threw herself into Wang Lingxiang's arms.
Touching her daughter's soft hair, Wang Lingxiang's tears instantly fell.
This is the first time that my daughter has been away from her for so long.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
Looking at his tall, strong, and energetic son, Xu Yongpei nodded happily.
Wang Lingxiang quickly wiped away her tears and stepped forward to take the new year's goods from her son's hand.
Xu Liang quickly gave way.
"Mom, the things are not very heavy. I can just take them myself, and you don't have to get your hands on them."
As he said that, he carried the things into the house.
Looking at the cigarettes and alcohol piled in the corner, there were more than a dozen boxes in total.
"Dad, don't you not smoke or drink?"
"These were given to your dad by the people in the village. We said no, but they insisted on keeping them." Wang Lingxiang said.
Xu Liang suddenly realized that it was probably because of him.
"Liangzi, I keep a list of those who gave these gifts. I will return them to them in a few days." Xu Yongpei said.
He didn't want to cause trouble to his son because of his own reasons.
"No, if you like it, just keep it for yourself."
"I don't smoke or drink, so why keep them?" Xu Yongpei said.
Xu Liang didn’t say much and let his father make the decision.
Put down what you are holding.
Soon Huo Gang walked in carrying many gift boxes.
"Uncle, aunt."
"Gangzi, it's not your first time here, why do you still take so many things? Take it back quickly." Wang Lingxiang said quickly.
"Auntie, you misunderstood. Brother Liang bought these."
Xu Liang pointed to the corner.
“Leave it there.”
After putting things down.
"Uncle, Auntie, Brother Liang, I will leave first."
"Stay and eat, we are ready."
"No need, When I came back, Brother Liang invited me to dinner."
Waving his hand, Huo Gang turned and left.
After sending him away, Xu Liang came back.
"Liangzi, we have enough stuff at home. Your dad and I have bought the New Year's goods, why are you spending so much money?" Wang Lingxiang complained.
Although her son has made money, she is still habitually frugal.
"Mom, it's rare that after the New Year, you should always be a little more generous. Besides, our family is not short of money now." Xu Meng hugged her mother's arm and smiled.
“You can never have too much money. Besides, you can’t spend it carelessly if you have money.”
Xu Liang didn't interrupt his mother. She had been careful all her life and couldn't change it.
"Dad, Mom, I want you to discuss something?"
"Say."
"Our house is a bit old. If I I haven’t settled on a girlfriend or anything, so I plan to buy the homestead of Huo Laowen’s family next door and build a new house. “It’s okay to use our homestead to build a new house. Buy from Huo Laowen's house?" Xu's father said.
"It's just a thought to keep our old house. And I also plan to bring them back to live with me when I have children in the future, to see how hard and simple their father was back then, so that they can also remember the hardships and think about it. Sweet, you won't have to become a playboy in the future."
"Okay, you can stay if you want. Our family has made money anyway, and a homestead doesn't cost much," Father Xu decided.
"You two are really money-burning."
Wang Lingxiang muttered without saying anything more.
“Liangzi, Xiaomeng, have you eaten?”
"I came back from a meal in Weicheng. By the way, Dad, I cut some steaks and I'll clean them up and stew them later. Let's have a cup of it tonight."
"Okay."
Xu Yongpei smiled and nodded.
It was rare for his son to come back, and he also wanted to have a good chat.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Xu Liang cleaned the 30 kilograms of steak he bought when it was almost time.
"Son, we can't finish the whole stew," Wang Lingxiang said.
"If you can't finish it, you can eat it tomorrow. It won't be bad in the cold weather anyway."
Put the cleaned steak into the big iron pot.
The iron pot is connected to the earthen kang. When cooking steak, the earthen kang will also be heated up.
When I was poor in the past, I relied on earthen kangs to stay warm in winter.
It has to be said that the wisdom of working people is infinite.
In winter, it gets dark earlier.
It got dark after six o'clock.
The steak that has been cooked for three hours has become pulpy.
Take it out in a large iron basin and put it on the table.
The rich aroma of meat instantly filled the entire room.
Sprinkle some chopped green onion and coriander, and the whole family started to swallow their saliva.
“Brother, the steak is so delicious.”
“Take it and eat it yourself.”
After saying that, Xu Liang took out the gift he brought back as a gift. Maotai.
After opening it, I poured Dad a glass.
“I didn’t expect that one day I would be able to drink Moutai.” Xu’s father sighed with joy on his face.
“This is thanks to your son.” Wang Lingxiang said.
Father Xu nodded, "If a good son has a future, I, the father, will also benefit from it."
"Mom, would you like some drink?"
"I don't drink. You can drink with your dad, but don't drink too much."
"Don't worry."
Although Father Xu doesn't usually drink, his drinking capacity is not bad.
The two of them ate meat and drank wine, and the whole family was enjoying themselves.
