Chapter 80: I Forgive You
[Dad, I found my sister. γ
[She's in Scotland.] γ
[She is beautiful, independent, and capable. γ
[I took a picture of a letter to you.] γ
[I know you're not going to say sorry to me.] γ
[But Dad, I forgive you. γ
When Lou was young, there were many things that he couldn't understand.
Why the word mom has become taboo.
When Dad drinks too much, why do you say that Mom is a water-based poplar woman.
With the handwritten letter that Jeronimis left for the Fifth Summer, everything came together.
Lou Shang's feelings for Loufang are a little different from those of ordinary families.
Lou Fang vented all his unsatisfactory life on Lou Shang's body.
But Lou Fang is also the relative who has always been by Lou Shang's side.
Since he was a child, Lou Shang has often been indoctrinated that he was born to a water-based poplar woman, and was abandoned after giving birth.
Lou Fang said that Lou Shang was a child that no one wanted, and if he didn't want to stay at home, he could leave at any time.
Loufang's feelings for Fifth Qiwen are distorted after he decides to go to Scotland to find her, and finally finds that he has been put on a cuckold that must be ridiculed by the whole city.
Hate became the manifestation of all this.
People get along with each other, maybe sometimes it's like this, at the beginning it's just a small contradiction, a small misunderstanding.
In the end, because of mistakes and misunderstandings again and again, it evolved to the point of being out of control, and even endless.
Tears slipped silently from the eyes on the road.
His heart has never been so full as it is now.
When he was young, the soft and weak Lou Xia was far stronger than he imagined.
When he was still hesitating, how to stay by Lou Xia's side flexibly, how not to unravel the past and recognize his sister, his sister accepted everything so silently.
Lou Shang couldn't wait to meet Lou Xia, but found that he didn't know where Lou Xia lived.
When did he become such a passive person.
Lou Shang was so anxious that he didn't know what else he could do, nineteen years of emotion, and emotions that had nowhere to vent, were all blocked in his heart at the moment, making the abandoned brother who was independent of the world become irritable.
Lou Shang opened the family tree left by Lou Xia.
Originally, Lou Shang thought that Lou Xia didn't know who he was at all, so he took out the family tree to show "outsiders".
Now, Lou Shang suddenly felt that he also had an extra responsibility on his shoulders.
For JerΓ³nis, what he feared most was that the "curse" on his body would affect the fifth summer.
For Fifth Xia, the last thing she could understand was the extreme indifference that Yeronimis had always had.
But for Lou Shang, nothing is more important than Lou Xia being healthy and alive.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lou Shang walked out of the literary holiday house and walked aimlessly in the place where Lou Xia lived.
He wanted to say something and do something to reflect the value of an older brother.
After walking a few steps, I ran into an acquaintance.
The marketing manager who took him, Shuai Ge and the Xueyi brothers and sisters to visit the Porter Allen Distillery before.
Under normal circumstances, Lou Shang is not a person who can talk to marketing managers at all.
But now the situation is not normal, Master Lou Shang, who does not eat fireworks in the world, as soon as he speaks, it is a problem full of fireworks:
"Earlier, when I visited the Porter Allen Winery, I heard from Mr. Roger that Diageo Group is preparing Β£35 million to reopen the Porter Allen and Brownla Distillery, and I would like to ask what the budget would be if only one was to be reopened. β
"The question asked by Master Lou Shang is a bit difficult to answer, only restart one, if I am in charge of making the budget application, I should quote at least 20 million pounds. "Rogette is almost always answering questions about Lou Shang.
"Why?" Lou Shang felt that the budget he asked for sounded a little unreasonable.
"You know, a lot of resources like big group marketing can be shared, so the more you restart at the same time, the lower the unit price will be, but it also depends on the situation of the closed distillery itself. If there is no problem with ownership and there are already good promotion channels, the budget can be less. β
Foreigners speak and like to start with what you know.
But Lou Shang didn't have any understanding of what Rogette said.
Money has always been a very distant "species".
If it weren't for this trip to Europe, Lou Shang would have had no such thing as money for five years.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lou Shang made a phone call to Shuai Ge and opened his mouth: "Big Shuai Ge." β
Shuai Ge was woken up just after falling asleep, and he was going to be angry.
But the healing power of the three words "Da Shuaige" is unparalleled: "What's the matter? You have another person who can't handle it, or do you want to be handsome again?"
"I just want to ask, how much money do I have?" Lou Shang's question was simple and clear but a bit out of line.
In the past five years, all of Lou Shang's money has been taken care of by Shuai Ge, and Lou Shang has never asked.
This sudden problem, which is too straightforward, makes Shuai Ge a little unable to react.
"In the middle of the night, you asked Ben Shuai such a question, what's the matter? Who are you suspicious of, or can't sleep at night and need someone to accompany you?"
"My side...... It's still afternoon. Lou Shang was reminded by Shuai Ge to realize the problem of jet lag.
"You don't care if Ben Shuai wants to date Zhou Meinu in the afternoon?" Shuai Ge's temper was a little difficult to suppress.
"Then I'll wait for you to wake up, I'm asking you, you continue to date beautiful women. β
"Miss Zhou Gong has been scared by you and transgendered, how can you let Ben Shuai continue to do it?" The Zhou beauty in Shuai Ge's mouth is not from the same dimension as Lou Shang thought of at all.
"I'm sorry, but I was so anxious that I forgot that every night at ten o'clock is the time for your Zhou beauty to date. Lou Shang became more and more aware of his problem and was about to hang up the phone.
"Eager, you are impatient to snatch away the handsome Miss Zhou Gong. "Shuai Ge just wants to raise the bar very simply, he has his own unique views on beauty and Zhou Gong.
"Shuai Ge, in the fifth summer, she knows that she is Lou Xia. β
"Eh, you're changing sex, are you recognizing each other so quickly? I thought you'd have to hesitate for another ten days and a half months. β
"Not yet, but Lou Xia showed me the genealogy of the Brunschweig family, the will given to him by her adoptive father, and a series of investigation reports after my mother's death. β
"Then, before you officially recognize each other, I asked you how much money you have, this is a bit ......" Shuai Ge originally wanted to say something to criticize, but he thought of eating people with a short mouth, and finally stopped
"How could my sister possibly ask such a question, I want to ask you. I, as an elder brother, can be so passive in everything, I don't think of it until my sister asks. Lou Shang's expression when he called himself his brother was simply not too proud.
"Say, how much does it cost to recognize a sister? Ben Shuai will call you!" Shuai Ge quickly understood the purpose of Lou Shang's call.
"Probably...... Million. Because Lou Shang has no concept of money, he is more hesitant when he says it.
"It's only 20 million when you open your mouth, who has nothing to do with so much cash on your body?"
"It turns out that you said before that you are very good at making money, and if you need money, I will find you, no matter how much, you are bragging. "Lou Shang was a little disappointed.
"What to blow, Ben Shuai doesn't need to blow and is as strong as a cow, okay. You have a brain that never asks about finances, and Ben Shuai doesn't expect you to understand that cash and assets are two different concepts. Real estate investments will not be realizable for a while. If...... If you have to ask for 20 million now, Ben Shuai will redeem the private placement that was just closed and originally planned to be a long-term private placement. Shuai Ge explained the situation.
"Oh, that's right. "Lou Shang doesn't quite understand whether private equity is private or not.
"It seems like you can understand it, yes. In the first year, Ben Shuai gave you the money, and you put it all in the current account. If you don't have Ben Shuai to take care of it, how can you have an average annual income of more than 20 percent? If you are in a hurry to use the money, you will please Ben Shuai. The threshold for the private placement selected by Ben Shuai is 20 million, and it must be redeemed together. β
Compared with the purchase of real estate, private equity is an investment method with relatively high risks and thresholds.
Those private placements that have no threshold, or private placements that can be bought at any time and can be bought by anyone, and private placements that advertise everywhere are nine times out of ten deceptive.
However, compared with real estate, as long as the closed period is passed, the liquidity of private equity is much larger.
It is easy to redeem tens of millions of private placements at once, but it depends on luck to sell tens of millions of houses at once.
"How to please, you are already one in a hundred million miles, do you still need to please?" Lou Shang said very sincerely.
Lou Shang's weakness is his sister, and Shuai Ge's weakness is that he is seriously praised for being handsome.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Ben Shuai has been a talk show brother for so many years, 20 million is naturally no problem, redeem it this week, and transfer the money to your card next Tuesday. β
"One in a hundred million, I haven't finished my words yet. Lou Shang hesitated a little.
"Hurry up. When Shuai Ge was happy, he spoke very "restrainedly" and never used any indecent words.
"I'm talking about, 20 million...... Pound sterling. β
"As soon as you open your mouth, you will need one or two hundred million?"
"Didn't you blow before, the daily turnover in the live broadcast room is tens of millions?"
"Is running water and income a concept? Is the money in the company's account and your own money a concept?" Shuai Ge didn't want to discuss such a problem with the financial novice, so he turned to personal attacks: "Your sister is too expensive, isn't it?
"It's none of Natsu's business. I asked Diageo's marketing manager, and he said that restarting a whisky distillery alone, plus the cost of marketing, would cost Β£20 million. β
"Are you crazy! Are you thinking about restarting the Brunschweig Distillery?" Shuai Ge was frightened by Lou Shang's "unreliability".
"Well, I think that's what I'm supposed to do as an older brother. Lou has no intention of denying it.
Diageo Group restarted the Porter Allen Distillery because it had been closed for so many years, and there were often people who missed it, which made the price of Porter Allen's small amount of wine soar year by year. β
Shuai Ge suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know Lou Shang at all: "The restart of the winery, that is also conditional, not every closed winery can or is suitable for restarting, do you know?"
"Yes. Lou Shang replied lightly.
"You know a big-headed fish, you know! Brunschweig whisky, even the Scotch Whisky Association does not recognize, how can such a distillery be restarted? Economic value is the criterion for judging whether a distillery is worth restarting, okay? Could it be that some of your sisters asked you to restart the distillery and was willing to recognize you, right?"
