Zheng Quangui glanced at Meng Songhai and said with a smile: "Actually, the design of our house is still a little different, the first floor of my house is not set up for entertaining VIPs, I plan to put more than ten counters on the first floor, and rent these counters to merchants to buy jade jewelry, or sell bright materials." ”

"That's a good idea. Seriously, I feel like my house, with a jewelry store on the first floor, is a bit of a waste. ”

"Is the retail business okay after your jewelry store opens?"

"It's okay. In a few years, more and more people will come to Ruili to travel, and when the time comes, the jade retail business will be better and better. ”

"Not necessarily, there are more customers, and there are more businesses. However, having said that, if you look at the gambling stone with such a good eyesight, compared with others, the cost of buying jadeite raw materials is much lower, even if the price of the jadeite jewelry you sell is slightly cheaper than others, your profit is still higher than others. ”

"Don't always say I have good eyesight." Meng Songhai pretended to exaggerate, "The cut is up, you know, when it is cut, I can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach." ”

"Others don't know, I don't know yet, hehe, just that piece of imperial green glass material, one pendant is enough for others to eat for a lifetime."

Meng Songhai smiled noncommittally, changed the topic and asked, "After the new house is completed, which floor do you plan to live on?" ”

"On the fourth floor, my parents and my sister live on the fourth floor, the third floor is not decorated for the time being, it is used to store jadeite wool, and the second floor is used to open a jadeite processing factory."

"The whole floor is used to store jadeite wool, which is too exaggerated, right?"

"It's well renovated and no one lives there."

"Isn't it good to live for the jade carvers who are provided to the jade processing factory? Also, don't your sister and brother-in-law both work in the jade processing factory, let them live. ”

"Last year, I lent them a sum of money to buy a house in the county seat. You're in the Deep City. They're all moving into new homes. ”

"How much is it lent?"

"Lend me 50,000 yuan to my eldest sister's family, plus the money I lent to other relatives and friends, it adds up to almost 150,000."

Zheng Quangui smiled bitterly as he spoke, glanced at Meng Songhai a few times, and sighed lightly: "Sometimes, I am quite afraid that my relatives will come to borrow money. ”

"Understandable."

The two were silent for a moment. Zheng Quangui asked: "Guoqiang's wife works for you, how much salary do you give her?" ”

"A thousand a month."

"It's not a lot."

"Food, accommodation, bonuses at the end of the year, and a salary of 1,000 a month, a lot."

"That'...... What about the national strength? ”

"Since he came to Ruili with me, counting the 50,000 yuan he earned from the joint venture to buy gambling stones, he has 150,000 yuan in the bank."

"One hundred and fifty thousand?" Zheng Quangui smiled, "Is this too much, or is it too little?" ”

"What do you say?" Meng Songhai asked with a faint smile.

"It's already very generous. My eldest sister and my brother-in-law help me with things. Every month, I give them three thousand dollars...... Do you think I'm too stingy. ”

"No, I think it's a lot." Meng Songhai smiled, "Three thousand a month, thirty-six thousand a year, a lot." In the whole of Yunnan Province, the proportion of annual household income can exceed this number, I estimate that it is less than 1 in 1,000. ”

A few small talks. Meng Songhai asked, "I haven't asked you all along, after the hotel opened." Is the business okay? ”

"It feels good, the night before we came to Tengchong, the occupancy rate of the hotel rooms exceeded 90%, and the business of the hotel restaurant was also good. In the past year or so, not only have we made some money from jadeite, but also many owners of the jadeite business have made money. Many people are quite willing to spend money on food. Hehe, fortunately, half of the area on the second floor is not allocated to operate a gambling stone shop, otherwise it will make a lot of less money. ”

"The profit of the gambling stone shop you run should not be worse than that of the hotel restaurant?"

"Gambling stone shops are more profitable. I think it's better to open a gambling stone shop on the ground floor. ”

"Do you regret grouping your store to other merchants?"

"I don't regret it, if I were the only one who opened the gambling stone shop, the business might not be better than it is now, and I would have some rental income if I rented the shop to others. However, the rent is too low now, and when the lease expires, I would like it to go up fivefold......"

When Meng Songhai and his party returned to Ruili, it was already dark, they were not in a hurry to eat dinner, but first moved the jade on the car out of the car, two pieces of gambling stones that Meng Songhai had seen with his discerning eyes and determined that they could cut up, were moved to the storage room on the fourth floor, and the remaining jade rough stones, part of which was carried to the second floor, put into the iron box, and part of it was placed in the storage room on the third floor.

A security door is installed in the storage room on the third floor, and Meng Songhai and Meng Guoqiang have the key.

Sometimes, Meng Songhai buys gambling stones, and after cutting it, he cuts out the low-grade jadeite wool, and in the case of not being in a hurry to process it into jadeite jewelry, Meng Songhai will let Meng Guoqiang, or Meng Guoqiang himself take the initiative to put these low-grade jadeite wool materials in the three-layer storage room.

After moving, Meng Songhai looked at Mao Zhenyang with a smile and asked, "Zhenyang, are you hungry?" ”

"Sort of."

"Then let's go to dinner." Meng Songhai smiled and said, "Second brother, Brother Yu, Shengli, do you want to go to the restaurant together to eat some more?" ”

"I'm not going." Meng Guoqiang smiled and shook his head in refusal.

"Brother-in-law, at night, I was so full that I couldn't eat." Wu Shengli smiled.

"I'll go with you." Yu Shouhu smiled.

"Brother Yu, are you missing your girlfriend?" Wu Shengli joked with a smile.

"Little brat, the hair hasn't grown, what do you know?!" Yu Shouhu smiled and gently patted Wu Shengli's head with his hand.

"Cut, isn't that all there is to it?" Wu Shengli said disdainfully, "Brother Yu, if you don't hurry up, I'll find a girlfriend and sleep with her, you still ......"

"Victory, what are you talking nonsense?" Lu Xinya glared at Wu Shengli unhappily.

"Sister, I don't want Brother Yu to move faster, cut the chaos quickly!" Wu Shengli smiled and raised his hand and gestured to cut things with a hand knife.

"Shengli, it's time for you to find a girlfriend and let your girlfriend take care of you." Meng Songhai quipped.

"It's okay, find a female junior who is three years older than me, and hold the gold brick." Wu Shengli retorted with a smile.

Lu Xinya heard Wu Shengli's words, a touch of ruddy appeared on her face, and there was some embarrassment in her shyness, although she loved Meng Songhai very much, and she knew that Meng Songhai loved her very much, but she was a little bit mindful that she was three years older than Meng Songhai, and now she didn't feel it, in more than ten years, she was old and not beautiful, and her attraction to Meng Songhai would weaken, and she was afraid that Meng Songhai would no longer like her in the future.

Meng Songhai glanced at Wu Shengli, didn't answer, opened his arms, hugged Lu Xinya in his arms, kissed her lips as if no one was around, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the restaurant of Nanhua Hotel and sit down." ”

"I'm not going." Lu Xinya blushed and pushed Meng Songhai away, "You hurry up, you haven't eaten dinner so late, you must be hungry." ”

"I'm not very hungry yet, I'm quite full at noon." Meng Songhai smiled, "Then I'm out, I may have to go home later." ”

Meng Songhai, Mao Zhenyang and Yu Shouhu went downstairs, walked out of the house, and closed the door.

After walking a few steps, the three of them came to the restaurant of the Nanhua Hotel, and saw Zheng Quangui, Jin Chenghui and others sitting around a dining table, on which some dishes and beer were already placed, and no one moved their chopsticks.

"Songhai, come here, wait for you to have dinner!" Zheng Quangui stood up, smiled and beckoned, "My stomach is almost hungry." ”

Everyone else also stood up and greeted Meng Songhai and the others.

After a few pleasantries, everyone sat down.

"In order to get a meal early, I ordered a few dishes casually, you can't order the way you want to eat, eat a little as you want, don't blame me for being stingy." Zheng Quangui joked.

"You don't want me to say it to your face, I can say it behind your back." Meng Songhai joked.

Zheng Quangui picked up the bottle opener, opened the lids of several bottles of beer on the table, and said, "Don't be idle, let's move, drink some beer to refresh your mouth first......"

After a while, Zheng Quangui's sister Zheng Huaiyun came to the restaurant, and when she saw Yu Shouhu present, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she walked to Yu Shouhu's side without hesitation, and shouted affectionately: "Brother Yu." Holding his head and kissing him on the cheek.

Zheng Huaiyun didn't blush, Yu Shouhu's face blushed.

"Huaiyun, are you decent?" Zheng Quangui glared at his sister helplessly.

"Why isn't it presentable?" Zheng Huaiyun smiled unremittingly, "You don't often show the affection between you and Jin Sili in front of me. ”

"It's the initiative every time, you're a girl's ......"

"Okay, talk less and drink more." Meng Songhai interrupted Zheng Quangui's words with a smile and raised his wine glass, "Everyone has raised their wine glasses, do one." ”

Zheng Quangui raised the wine glass, touched it, poured all the beer in the cup into his stomach in one gulp, drank too quickly, burped, picked up the wine bottle, poured wine into his cup, looked at Yu Shouhu and said: "Yu Shouhu, don't let the cup be empty, pour the bar, let's do one." ”

Yu Shouhu nodded, he also picked up the wine bottle and poured himself wine.

The interaction between Yu Shouhu and Zheng Huaiyun, Zheng Huaiyun is more active, it can be said that at the beginning, it was completely Zheng Huaiyun who took the initiative, when Yu Shouhu felt that Zheng Huaiyun was interested in him, he took into account Zheng Huaiyun's age, and the other party was the sister of Meng Songhai's friend Zheng Quangui, he chose to escape, he didn't dare to accept Zheng Huaiyun.

If Zheng Huaiyun used the method of water drop stone wearing, she and Yu Shouhu might have no results, and she was enthusiastic, took the initiative to show her feelings to Yu Shouhu, and took the initiative to kiss Yu Shouhu, which made Yu Shouhu, who had lacked love for a long time, taste sweetness and became addicted.

Before Zheng Quangui learned that his sister was interested in Yu Shouhu, he called the other party "Brother Yu", after all, the other party was several years older than him, but after that, he directly called the other party's name, when he did not object to Zheng Huaiyun and Yu Shouhu dating, it was easy to call the other party's name, if one day his sister really married Yu Shouhu, then this person would be his brother-in-law.
