Chapter 976: Muddy the Water
Just after the Spring Festival, Ms. Feng suddenly appeared in the capital silently, and Hong Tao was wearing a black hoop on her right arm when she saw her. Mrs. Wei failed to survive the Spring Festival in 07 years and died of illness in the United States.
According to the old lady's last wishes, Ms. Feng brought her ashes back to her hometown for burial. The memorial service didn't notify Hong Tao, and she also knew that it was inconvenient for Hong Tao to run around at this time. But there is one thing that can't be avoided, Mrs. Wei's yard has a gift request, and the recipient is Hong Tao.
"Don't give it to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it. A small courtyard alone has caused me so much trouble, and if this large courtyard were placed under my name, sooner or later it would be remembered. After Hong Tao saw the gift document, his saliva flowed down in front of Ms. Feng, and he wiped it several times before wiping it clean.
Mrs. Wei's yard knows best what the condition is, the area is large, the location is good, the building is new, according to the original design and construction standards, the materials are calculated according to the century-old plan.
If anyone has such a yard in the center of the city, even if they take it down for several lifetimes, they will not do anything, as long as they don't gamble or smoke, they won't starve to death. Moreover, this kind of house has gone beyond simple residential use, but also a representative of identity and status.
But greed is greedy, and you must know how much energy you have. As the old saying goes, if you don't have this blessing, forcibly eating more and taking more is likely to invite disaster.
"Then why don't you give it to Rui Rui, she has the same as you, and my mother also means this, which can be regarded as leaving some thoughts for the great-grandson who has never met. Ms. Feng can understand Hong Tao's distress and plans to change her approach.
Ms. Bai had known about Qi Rui's pregnancy for a long time, and the Feng family would naturally know about it. The yard can't be moved here, and no one else will come back to live once Mrs. Wei leaves, and the Feng family has no plans to return to China for development, let alone lack this money. Instead of being barren here, it is better to be a favor and get closer to Hong Tao.
"She can't do it either, Uncle Qi still has to mix in the system for a few years, even if it is the influence of the inheritance, it is not good. Otherwise, donate it to charity, only in the name of this is safe. ”
The Qi family and the Bai family are not suitable to take over this big courtyard, the reason is still the same, it is too big, the specifications are too high, and it is similar to the palace, and it is really uncontrollable without a special identity.
"Ahh......h Isn't that just throwing it away? It has nothing to do with charity if they take it, so it might as well be sold. Ms. Feng didn't have the slightest sense of agreement with Hong Tao's suggestion, that is, Hong Tao didn't react too violently when she said this, and it is estimated that she will have to be scolded if she changes it, and she is a loser and has no brains!
"It's not a random donation, it's a donation to the foundation of Princess Jeddah. She has set up a charity in China that specializes in helping children with malignant tumors, which operates independently under the United Nations, and is only a cooperative relationship with the Red Cross, and no one has the right to interfere. ”
"If the yard is donated, your family will have a good reputation, Princess Jeddah will make money, and the final benefit will be mine. In the future, if necessary, you can find another opportunity to transfer to Hong Qitian's name at any time, and everyone has no loss, it's just a little more tax. ”
Hong Tao sympathized with Ms. Feng's dissatisfaction, and really donated it, not to mention that she was not happy and she was not happy. Where are reliable charities in China, they are all selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and giving them the yard is equivalent to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
"Haha...... Master Hong, you are really getting more and more sophisticated. I have only heard of this princess by name but have not seen her, and I really have to sit down and talk to her when I have the chance. Listening to Hong Tao's explanation, Ms. Feng laughed so much that her crow's feet were piled up.
This method is simple and safest, and her yard is in Jeddah's name, and instead of worrying about any trouble in the future, she is very happy. A courtyard is nothing, and it is more beneficial for the Feng family to get to know a princess.
The Feng family is not short of money, vision, or talent, but in a predominantly white society, she always feels a little weak-hearted, and the more friends she has around with a status like Jeddah, the more at ease she becomes. I'm afraid this is not Ms. Feng's fault alone, the first and second generations of Chinese immigrants have similar needs.
"If you are not in a hurry to go back, I can ask the princess to come and consult with you about the purpose of the courtyard. "The ancients are like adults, and the beauty of a gentleman is an adult. It's a good thing to have Ms. Feng and Jeddah meet, both of them are big rich people behind their backs, and they also need to be sincere and united in their own investment plans, so it is better to use this opportunity to meet.
"Just follow Master Hong's arrangement, but I won't cause you trouble if I live in the courtyard, right?" I heard Rui Rui say that even she can't contact you openly now. In the face of Hong Tao's kind invitation, Ms. Feng had to push it off even if she had something, but she was a little worried about Hong Tao's current situation.
"If there is trouble, it is estimated that you have already had it when you stepped into this courtyard, and you are afraid of being implicated when you keep them away from me, and you are definitely not afraid of being implicated by me. In the eyes of the above, we are both all the way. ”
Hong Tao has been pretending to be decadent for several months, is he really not afraid of being disturbed by Ms. Feng's arrival? She is really not afraid! Ms. Feng is different from the Qi family, the Ouyang family, and the Bai family, and even very different from the Zhang family.
Whether her family knows her in her life or not, the chance of entering the Chinese market is equal to zero. In some ways, her family's business is inherently not in the interests of the Chinese government, so no amount of pretense can change that fact.
Then just don't pretend, some things are too similar but will have the opposite effect, and it is inevitable that two stinky shit will make do with each other, which is very logical.
"Hahahaha...... The hero sees the same thing, then I will bother Master Hong for a few days. I heard that you have officially converted to Buddhism, can you openly accept disciples and preach?"
"Actually, if you want me to say, wouldn't it be better to change the courtyard left by my mother and offer the image of your master, and you can practice and preach in it. ”
was very impolitely called a cargo by Hong Tao, and Ms. Feng was not disgusted at all, which showed that the relationship between the two parties had reached a certain level, and it was too late to be happy. Who wouldn't be happy to get closer to a half-immortal who could predict the future, what official likes or dislikes, it can't hinder the Feng family in the slightest.
"Don't, it's fake that I'm a layman, it's true to find an excuse to contact the outside. But you must not gather people for the sake of preaching or anything like that, it's too taboo. Ms. Feng's proposal was not new, and Ms. Bai's first thought after knowing that she had become a layman was similar.
"That's right, there are many people, and there will always be people who use your name to make trouble, and it will be difficult to get rid of it when the time comes. "You don't need a hammer to ring the drum, Ms. Feng and Ms. Bai are both smart people, and Hong Tao understands the pros and cons when he mentions them a little.
"But you can hold a puja, whether it's Taoist friends from all over the world, or religious friends, because it's not a bad thing to come together with the Buddha and talk about the scriptures and the Tao. I'm going to take the opportunity of you donating your yard to charity. ”
Although Ms. Feng's proposal was rejected, Hong Tao also came up with an idea. Rather than secretly donating the yard, it would be more logical to make a big splash, and you can also use this opportunity to test the reactions of all parties.
"The world is north...... You mean to reconvene the Foundation?" Hong Tao said the whole sentence was nonsense, and there was only one word that was the most memorable, and it turned out to be heard by Ms. Feng.
"It's pretty much the same, but it can't just be Foundation members, it has to be expanded, so it's easier to fish in troubled waters. I don't have much to do with it here, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble your family and the Zhang family to contribute more to this matter. ”
"Domestically, I will discuss with the Yang family, there are more people in the south who believe this, and they should know each other. Hong Tao nodded profoundly, his eyes looking through the windows on the roof to the Houhai shrouded by the sunset.
"Are you saying that our plan can begin?" Hong Tao's face was the afterglow of the setting sun, shining with golden light, and Ms. Feng's face was flushed with excitement.
Since last year, the Feng family has joined Hong Tao's investment plan for the first batch, and has done a lot of preliminary preparations, and the amount of funds invested one after another cannot be said to be too big, but it is also a lot.
Throwing so much money into the ever-changing securities market is very risky. But half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Hong Tao has not given further instructions here, so it must be nonsense to say that he is not in a hurry at all.
There was even a little friction between the two sides because of this, which cannot be said to be unpleasant, and it was not as smooth as the first two times. This time she came to the capital in person, on the one hand, it was a matter of the courtyard, and more importantly, she wanted to communicate with Hong Tao face-to-face.
"It should be soon, there are some issues that you better talk about in person. This time it's not a small fight, we not only want to make a profit, but we also have to avoid attracting too much attention from others as much as possible. ”
"There's not much I can do about that, so I'm going to listen to everyone's opinions and finally come to a unified agreement. No one can privately add more investment, let alone act privately, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and no one can run away if it causes trouble. ”
The pit that Hong Tao dug this time was a bit big, and it was just to help Jeddah revitalize his assets, at most he would get some benefits for himself. But as more and more families joined, the plate became bigger and bigger.
The capital markets in Europe and the United States are relatively strictly supervised, and the main direction of this investment is the securities markets of the United States and Europe, and the amount of funds is too large to attract the attention of the authorities, especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis, how to deal with the aftermath, all of which require several families to sit together and talk thoroughly.
"In this case, there are many people who come, so I think I'd better go back first. California has the largest number of Chinese and many believers, so let them all come and cheer. "When it comes to business, Ms. Feng is not ambiguous at all, what princess is not a princess, you can put it aside first. She understood all of Hong Tao's meaning, and she felt that it was necessary.
But each family can't be one or two people, in addition to the parents who can make up their minds, there must be a large number of experts in various fields to help do specific analysis work. If you want to mix all these people with sand, you have to have enough water, otherwise too much sand will not be muddy water, but loess mud.
