Chapter 100: Stone Manor
"Who are you going to take me to, is he your elder or partner?"
After Sister Hua left, George then drove Gigi, who was dressed simply but not elegant, out of the apartment to a Chinese medicine shop on Hennessy Road, where he watched George return to the car with two rectangular boxes resembling sandalwood after taking them in the pharmacy for a while.
After taking the box in George's hand, pulling open the slide cover on it, and seeing a thick ginseng covered with ginseng whiskers inside, the well-informed Gigi was also a little dumbfounded, thinking about the ordinary Chinese medicine shop just now, he couldn't help but smack his tongue, carefully pushed the slide back back, and looked at George who was concentrating on driving after putting it away.
As for the TCM shop, I can see a lot of such news on TV and newspapers because I have made a lot of movies that do not change based on facts, and I can understand what kind of place it is.
Ginseng, a precious life-saving herb and ingredient, is very popular in Xiangjiang, and many wealthy people will spare no expense to get a real wild ginseng.
She once saw an old mountain ginseng that was said to be 70 years old at an auction, and the price was casually pushed to 2 million Hong Kong dollars by the people present.
The relationship between supply and demand determines everything, there are few in the market, the price is high, and in order to get enough profits, the smuggling black market is indispensable everywhere, even in the most restrictive countries.
"We went to see an elder, originally I wanted to come with my cousin when I left in a few days, but now things have changed, and the theft of the apartment owes me a very big favor to him, and I have to come and visit him in advance. ”
"Cousin, your brother is from Xiangjiang, and you have relatives in Xiangjiang?"
When Gigi heard George's words, his words showed respect for the elder he was going to meet, although he wanted to know who that person was, after all, in the few days he had been in contact with him, he could probably know what kind of person George was, and the person who could make him respect so much was definitely not an ordinary person.
However, she still changed the topic very directly, after all, the elder would be able to see him soon, but George actually had a younger brother in Xiangjiang, which aroused her curiosity enough, and George had never mentioned it.
"He's from Beijing, and I said that my mother is from Huaxia, and she left Huaxia for the United States in the early seventies, and we're going to see this elder now, and she probably helped her a lot when she left.
My cousin, after my grandfather and uncle found out that I was in Xiangjiang, sent me to look for me, and he has been here for a few days, but these days are relatively busy, and now he is with some friends he has just met. ”
"You mean you know that your grandparents and uncles are there and you haven't been there to see them, but you're waiting for them to get your message and ask your cousin to come to you.
Don't you want to be so cold-blooded, that's your relatives, as a junior, you should take the initiative to meet them, how can you let them come to you after receiving your news, this is not like something you can do, or is cold-blooded is your true face, what you are showing now is just a disguise. ”
After listening to George's explanation, Gigi knew that there must be something she didn't know, but in her opinion, no matter what happened, there was no doubt that as a junior, she went to visit her elders, but George waited for his relatives to come to the door, if it wasn't for some life and death feud, it was very unreasonable to do this, and it was not something that a junior should do.
"You think too much, it's not that I don't want to go to the capital to meet them, it's just that there are a lot of problems that need to be solved, and only when these problems are solved can I pass, and many things are not what I want to do.
Although I have often heard my mother mention my grandfather and uncle over the years, there are many things he has not told me, and I have to consider her thoughts on the matter of my grandfather and uncle.
Besides, even if I want to go over, I don't have a passport from Huaxia, I am a US passport, unlike you who can enter and exit China freely, as long as you carry a bag and a customs clearance permit, a capitalist like me who wants to enter China must go through a strict review, not as simple as you think. ”
Glancing at Gigi's somewhat serious face, George reached out a hand to take Gigi's hand and said gently.
He didn't want Gigi to have any misunderstanding about him, once there was a misunderstanding, there would be a crack in his heart, and now he couldn't see it, and the more the rift accumulated, the more it broke out in the end, the power would be huge, and it was even possible that the end of the world would be a passerby, which was the last thing George wanted to see.
George can treat others without caring about their thoughts, but with Gigi, George has a special emotion in it, so he has to be careful to take care of it.
"This is Sassoon, what are we doing here,,,,,, didn't you say you were going to meet an elder, the people who live here,,,,,,"
For George's explanation, Gigi chose to believe it, after all, George seemed to it like a mystery, from a Harvard student to a shareholder of Huanyu in just a few days, which was enough to surprise him, but who would have thought that he was the person who lost Mr. Huo's face in front of some gossip.
Just now, after George drove into Sassoon Road, he looked at this well-known rich residential area in Xiangjiang, and thought of what George said, a little incredulous.
"Yes, this is Sassoon, I said which elder lives here. ”
George pointed to a wall not far away that looked like it was all built by Momentum, and even the buildings inside the wall were completely different from the usual buildings, all of which were forged by Momentum, which was called "Stone Manor" by the Xiangjiang people.
"How can you be like this, to see this old man, why didn't you tell me in advance, how could I go to see him so casually in this dress. ”
After the shock, Gigi looked at the beige suit she was wearing, although it was formal enough, but it still felt like something was missing, and she always felt that something was lacking, and she couldn't appear in front of an old man who was full of legends in Xiangjiang.
"You're dressed very well now, and if you get out of the car now, you'll definitely blind some people's eyes. ”
George shook Gigi's hand hard, calming down her somewhat excited thoughts, and then greeted the security guards who got the news, opened the door and stood aside, and drove into the mansion, which seemed very important to the people of Xiangjiang.
