Chapter 678: Reserved
Lu Jiaxin and Zong Shimeng arrived at Diligende Pavilion one after another. When they entered the house and saw the decoration inside, they knew it was the work of Yu Meitong.
Zong Shimeng saw a raccoon ornament, which was very cute. She smiled and said, "Meitong, where did you buy this raccoon? Yinyin likes dolls, so I bought one for her too."
Yu Meitong smiled and said, "My friend bought it from Canada and gave it to me. Yinyin likes it, so I asked her to buy another one. She goes back to Canada several times a month."
Zong Shimeng thanked her with a smile.
After chatting for a while, the maid brought three glasses of water. Yu Meitong said apologetically, "Sister Shimeng, Jiaxin, I'm sorry, I can't smell the odor now, so I want you to accompany me to drink boiled water."
Both of them said it was okay.
After drinking half a glass of water, Yu Meitong touched her belly which was not yet visible, looked at Jiaxin and asked: "Jiaxin, let me ask you something. You and Mr. Nie have been dating for more than five years. When are you going to get married?"
She asked because Tao Yong asked her to, otherwise she would not have brought up this sensitive topic.
Lu Jiaxin shrugged and said: "I don't know either. It depends on Nie Zhan."
Zong Shimeng and Yu Meitong were very surprised. They knew that Nie Zhan really wanted to get married. Zong Shimeng asked first: "Jiaxin, what do you mean by seeing Nie Zhan?"
Lu Jiaxin spread her hands and said: "He didn't propose to me, how can we get married? Do I have to propose to him?"
When she knew that Yu Meitong's wedding date was scheduled for March this year, she was shaken and felt that it was okay to get married now. But Nie Zhan didn't say anything, let alone propose to her. Anyway, she was not in a hurry to get married.
Zong Shimeng and Yu Meitong looked at each other. They never thought that the two of them had not married yet, and the problem was actually Nie Zhan.
At the same time, Nie Zhan and Hu Zhifeng were talking about investment, stocks and real estate.
Tao Yong asked: "Ah Zhan, I heard that you are going to open a cannery in SL. Why do you want to open a cannery there?"
The latter sentence was full of confusion.
Nie Zhan did not say that it was Kevrich's suggestion, and said with a smile: "I wanted to be a farmer, but they only allow me to open a canning factory there, and farmers are more troublesome."
The land cannot be bought and sold but can be leased, but he just wants to make money and does not want to provoke internal disputes, so all the materials needed for the cannery are bought from outside. According to the current development trend, it is definitely not profitable, but it is also worthwhile to win a good reputation.
Hu Zhifeng frowned and asked: "Ah Zhan, now the rupee has depreciated so much, can your investment there be recovered?"
SL has many domestic conflicts, which may very likely affect foreign investors. He thinks it is better not to touch this thunder. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be injured.
Nie Zhan smiled and said, "It's not good now, but I'm optimistic about its future."
No more to say. He has always been a few words, whether you are willing to listen or not is up to you, anyway, as a friend, he has reminded you.
Tao Yong believes in his and Lu Jiaxin's vision and courage, but it's a pity that he doesn't have much liquidity and capital to participate in their project.
Nie Zhan didn't want to continue this topic. He invested in SL because of Jiaxin's judgment, and he couldn't tell anyone about this. Like Jiaxin's premonition, the less you know about this, the better.
After thinking for a while, Nie Zhan said, "Wufu Jewelry is preparing to enter the mainland. Liang Wei Bo went to Sijiu City for inspection two days ago."
It's not to inspect the market, but to determine the location of the store and the jewelry processing factory. According to Lu Jiaxin's plan, the processing factory is to buy a piece of land and build it by himself.
Hu Zhifeng was not surprised, because Lu Jiaxin had told Zong Shimeng that Green Forest and the jewelry company would enter the mainland in the future: "So soon? I thought it would take two years."
Nie Zhan smiled and explained the reason: "This time Jiaxin's nephew got married and gave his niece a set of gold jewelry. When the bride wore this set of jewelry at the wedding, everyone kept praising her. After Jiaxin knew about it, she felt that the time to enter the mainland had come."
"Not only Wufu Jewelry, but Green Forest and Wanjia Film and Television will also enter the mainland one after another. The mainland has a large population, and the current policy is to focus on the economy. The future market is huge. Brother Feng, if you are interested in investing in the mainland, I suggest you don't wait and see."
Business is all about timing. If you enter the market after the market has been divided up, you will be lucky enough to get a bite of soup, but if you are unlucky, you will have to pay back your principal. On the contrary, those who enter the market first can basically make a lot of money.
In fact, it is still too late for Wufu to move into the mainland now. His Peninsula Hotel will be built in a few months and can be opened for business after decoration.
Hu Zhifeng said, "My brother is back."
This answer was obviously irrelevant. Nie Zhan knew him very well, and he knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it: "Why did your brother come back?"
The second child of the Hu family was the same age as him, both 32 years old. He had a wide range of interests since he was a child. He wanted to become the world's best aviator, and then the world's best photographer. The three million yuan given to him by his family every year was not enough.
Hu Zhifeng said with a headache: "He has been fascinated by astronomy recently and wants to buy a set of astronomical equipment. He asked for five million yuan. My dad didn't give it to me. My grandma loves him the most and wanted to coax her to give him money. As a result, my grandma told my dad that it would be better to divide the family property directly."
Nie Zhan and Tao Yong looked at each other. Grandma Hu was also interesting.
Hu Zhifeng said: "My dad didn't agree. My grandma cried for my grandfather and scolded my dad. My dad had no choice but to compromise and give five million yuan."
Grandma Hu should take half of the responsibility for Hu Er's casual and free-spirited personality.
Nie Zhan said with relief: "Actually, it's a good thing that he has his own hobbies. Like your brother-in-law and brother-in-law, the two of them were fighting for power in the company and the company almost collapsed."
Hu Zhifeng shook his head and explained: "It's not that I was reluctant to part with the five million, I just thought that there was no way he could continue like this, so I went to talk to him. As a result, Zhisheng told me to take over as soon as possible. My father is stubborn. The thinking is pedantic and it will be dangerous if the company does not change.”
Nie Zhan knew that Hu Zhisheng was very smart, but he was not interested in doing business: "Your brother's words are not unreasonable."
In fact, Hu Zhifeng also had a problem with Mr. Hu, saying: "After the stock market crash in 1987, I told him to take out loans to hoard land, but he didn't agree; after the property market plummeted in 1988, I told him to take out loans to hoard land, but he still didn't agree. It was a waste of money. I had two good opportunities. The last time you invited me to invest, I didn’t have that much money, so I wanted my bank to buy 10% of the shares, but he still refused.”
He really had no money at that time, so he invested all his money in his small life. Who knew that it would not take long for all the investment there to be recovered!
Tao Yong was not as calm as Nie Zhan and asked: "Brother Feng, what are you going to do this time?"
Hu Zhifeng said: "If Nie Zhan and Miss Lu make money from this investment in SL, I will convince my dad to let him enter the mainland."
The Hu family's industrial structure is somewhat similar to that of the Nie family. Its main businesses are real estate and banking, and it is also involved in hotels, terminals, containers, and communications. After making money from investments in the Mainland, he wanted Father Hu to slowly delegate power.
