Chapter 576: Island Birthday Celebration
PS: Today's first update, ask for monthly pass support.
Qiao Guifa's parents died when he was a child, and his family was poor, so he had to send food to his uncle's house. Later, he couldn't stand this kind of life under the fence, so he went to Baotou, Inner Mongolia with people to do business, and after decades of hard work, he founded the Fusheng Gong Firm, and the business spread all over Baotou, and even produced the folk proverb that there was Fusheng Gong first, and then Baotou City. ”
Hao Baolai said eloquently: "With the careful management of the descendants of the Qiao family, during the period, Confucian merchants such as Qiao Zhiyong appeared, and the Fusheng Gong business was naturally becoming more and more prosperous, and the gold, silver, jade, treasures and antiques hidden in the family could not be estimated. ”
"The ancients must have a tradition of returning home. Qiao's family is no exception, with so much money, it is natural to go back to his hometown to build his own mansion. This mansion is the famous Qiao family compound, which has filmed TV series, you have seen it. ”
Seeing Wang Guan and Gao Dequan nodding, Hao Baolai smiled again: "But as the saying goes, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days, and the situation of the Qiao family is similar." After the Xinhai Revolution, it had little impact on the Qiao family's business, even in the era of warlord melee, although it suffered some losses, it gritted its teeth and survived. ”
"The most serious is still during the Anti-Japanese War, Baotou was occupied by the Japanese army, the northwest trade route was basically cut off, the market was depressed, and the Qiao family's business was dealt a fatal blow. Since then, the Qiao family's vitality has been greatly damaged and has collapsed. ”
Speaking of this, Hao Baolai's expression was a little strange: "Of course, how can you say that the Qiao family also has a two-hundred-year foundation, even if it is severely hit, it can barely survive." ”
"Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, various shops have applied for resumption. But the good times didn't last long, and then came the establishment of New China, and then you know, the state did not allow private enterprises to exist, so ......"
I didn't want to talk more about this matter, so Hao Baolai said a word. continued: "Speaking of the Jinyang Qiao family, strictly speaking, it is just a branch of the Fusheng Gong Qiao family. When it comes to Qiao Si's generation, it is estimated that it will not have much to do with the Qiao family of Fusheng Gong. ”
"As for the history of Jinyang Qiao Si's fortune...... Hao Baolai hesitated, and saw that no one was passing by, so he whispered: "Wang Guan, when you mention Jin Province, what do you think of first?" ”
Wang Guan thought for a moment and said softly: "Coal boss? ”
"That's right."
Hao Baolai nodded, his expression was very complicated, as if he was longing and envious. Jealousy and resentment: "These people are in China's major energy provinces, and they happened to have a chance to develop the economy and become rich overnight." Jinyang Qiaojia Qiao four...... No, it should be called Qiao Siye, who is the lucky one among them. ”
"After decades of development and mergers, I don't know how many coal resources the Qiao family has mastered. However, it is certain that he is definitely one of the top big miners, and the miners digging coal below do not know that there are tens of thousands. ”
At this time, Hao Baolai smiled and said, "You should understand now." Why did the Qiao family sisters and brothers always say that they were going to bury people just now, it is indeed a family history. ”
Hearing this, Wang Guan couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking of all kinds of rumors about the coal boss. What BMW luxury cars are all over the city, dowries billions of dollars, and the families of mining disasters cry and wipe their tears to ask for explanations...... Messages like that. I believe that as long as you pay attention to social news, you will always be able to hear about it.
Wang Guan did not dare to judge the truth or falsehood, but there must be fiction and exaggeration in it. But there are admittedly some real examples.
"Don't think about it." Gao Dequan smiled: "Let's go, go back and enjoy the Heiding teacup, I haven't seen enough yet." ”
"Yes." Hao Baolai nodded hurriedly. He smiled and said, "I'll take a group photo as soon as I go back, so that others won't believe that I've seen such a rare treasure......"
While talking, the three of them walked back to Yuebao Building, and watched the tea cup while tasting tea, which was also very comfortable.
Soon after, Baye also came to Shanghai, Wang Guan drove to pick her up, and then spent the night in the suite provided by Hao Baolai, and the next morning several people took the congratulatory gifts and went to the dock under Hao Baolai's carry.
Seeing Hao Baolai parking on the beach, Wang Guan was naturally surprised: "Why did you come to the port?" ”
"Hehe, it seems that Brother Wang, you have never been to the Su family." Hao Baolai pushed the door and got out of the car, and then said with a smile: "The rest of the Su family may have houses in the city, but Old Man Su lives in a villa on the island. ”
"Island villas?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then relieved.
In recent years, there has been a boom in the coastal islands, and with the economic conditions of the Su family, it is not difficult to circle an island as your own private backyard.
Of course, as the host, the Su family will definitely not let the guests pay for the charter to the island, but they have arranged a few passenger ferries next to the port very intimately. As soon as the guests come and show their invitations, they will be escorted to their destinations.
However, Hao Baolai is also a big boss with a rich net worth, and he is still a local big boss, so he didn't get on the passenger ferry arranged by the Su family at all, because he himself has a private yacht.
"Gone."
After getting on the yacht, Hao Baolai waved his hand lightly, and the yacht immediately rode away in the wind and waves.
To be honest, there are no islands around Shanghai, but there are river islands such as Chongming Island and Changxing Island. Therefore, the direction of the yacht is now biased towards the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang Province.
Of course, the distance is not very far, under the speed of the yacht, after about half an hour, you can clearly see a beautiful island. As the yacht approaches the shore of the island, you can also faintly see a manor-like villa located halfway up the mountain.
At this time, on the dock of the island, there were also seven or eight yachts docked, and it was obvious that some guests had arrived here before them. In addition, on the shore of the island, there are also welcoming emcees and the like. The leader is a middle-aged man who is somewhat similar to Su Wenyi, and it is estimated that he is Su Wenyi's brother, but Wang Guan doesn't know him anyway.
In any case, being able to serve as the first line of welcome, middle-aged people must be delicate characters. As soon as he saw Wang Guan and the others coming ashore, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Hao, welcome, welcome ......" The middle-aged man was enthusiastic and said a word of thanks to Hao Bao for coming.
After some greetings, another passenger ship came slowly, and the middle-aged man hurriedly asked the master of ceremonies next to him to lead Hao Baolai and others to the manor, and he greeted the passenger ship again. There were more guests on the passenger ship, which was enough for him to keep busy.
Under the invitation of the master of ceremonies, Wang Guan and the others slowly went up the mountain, so that they had time to look at the landscape of the island.
In general, large tree forests rarely grow on islands. However, the island has apparently been transplanted, and a large number of mulberry elm fruit trees have been transplanted around the estate, especially at the foot of the hillside. It may be that after scientific transplantation and careful care by the gardener, these trees have grown vigorously and already have the rudiments of a forest.
Of course, the island has limited land, and the trees are congenitally limited, and it is estimated that the growth of such a tree has come to an end, and it is difficult to develop any more. Despite this, the lush trees attract many birds to nest and build nests among them, and Wang Guan and others walked all the way, but they heard a lot of crisp and melodious birdsong.
In addition, I don't know who designed the road that could have led directly to the manor halfway up the mountainside, but deliberately made a zigzag corner. Walking along the zigzag-shaped tree-lined paths, you can feel the tranquility and elegance of this jungle.
Think of it, the estate is located on an island, and it is surrounded by a tranquil wood, as if it were isolated from the rest of the world. You can breathe fresh and oxygenated air every morning, and you should be able to maintain a comfortable state of mind and body. In this case, longevity is definitely not a dream.
Suddenly, Wang Guan thought of a question: "After all, it is on the island, so it should be difficult to get water." ”
Even though you are on an island, you are surrounded by inexhaustible seawater. The problem is that seawater is certainly not suitable for drinking. So sometimes, the environment of the island is actually similar to the desert, and the water source is the biggest problem.
"There's a spring on the top of the mountain." Hao Baolai said with a smile: "The spring water is sweet and cool, enough to drink." Moreover, the Su family is also willing to spend money and has a set of seawater purification equipment on the island, so naturally they don't have to worry about the problem of water shortage. ”
As they spoke, everyone also walked out of the tree-lined path, and in front of them was a very exquisite manor building. The manor is continuous, completely in the shape of a Suzhou and Hangzhou garden, but with a slight change, and a modern style in the retro. At least in the middle of a bamboo and wood house, a modern hall suddenly appeared, everyone must not feel strange.
"Brother Hao, Brother Gao!"
At this time, Su Wenyi was standing in front of the manor to welcome guests, and next to him, there were several young men and women distributed in an orderly manner, which should be the younger generation of the Su family. However, what made Wang Guan feel strange was that Su Yu was not among them.
"Brother Su......"
Hao Baolai greeted him, and it was inevitable that he would be polite again.
After chatting a few words, a large number of guests who came by passenger ferry also appeared behind. Hao Baolai was very knowledgeable, and when he heard the noisy voices behind him, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Su, the old man is inside, right?" Let us go in and say hello. ”
Su Wenyi naturally agreed, and hurriedly asked a young man to lead Hao Baolai and others to meet Old Man Su.
After entering the manor, I walked along a winding cobblestone path, passed a hanging flower arch, and walked around for a while, and in front of me was a very delicate and elegant bamboo and wood building.
At this moment, in front of the courtyard lawn of the small building, there was a group of people sitting around. Wang Guan's eyes were sharp, and he immediately found Yan Lao's figure. In addition, there is Su Yu......
Today's Su Yu is dressed more plainly, of course, it is the simplicity of the gorgeous. The pale white tunic cheongsam does not have many prosperous ornaments, only a pink plum blossom is embroidered at the corner of the clothes, which looks very elegant and beautiful.
The long black and shiny hair is still pulled up, and under the white jade earlobes, two sparkling earrings are embellished, which set off her beautiful facial features more elegantly.
However, at this moment, Su Yu is obviously not the focus of everyone's attention, and there is an old man with a smile next to her, which is even more eye-catching...... (To be continued.) )
