In the lacquer box, there is a white jade relief Ruyi nearly 30 centimeters long, the best jade quality and carving, the whole body of white jade without a little crack and impurities, at a glance is an extraordinary thing.

Lu Xi doesn't know how to collect, but he can also see that it is worth a lot of money, and with such a treasure handed down, he can also see that his aunt is far richer than the Xu family.

Glancing at Chen Danying, seeing that she was also seeing it for the first time, and her aunt's face was full of helplessness, Lu Xi smiled and said: "It's good to keep the things handed down from the ancestors, and besides, I can't find a good buyer now." ”

Afraid that his aunt and uncle-in-law wouldn't be able to turn around and didn't want to owe favors, so they would be in a hurry to find a buyer tomorrow to deceive people, Lu Xi thought about it and said: "Otherwise, my aunt will keep this thing first, and then buy it when I make money, okay?" ”

Qian Fang smiled reluctantly and said, "I originally planned to marry Yingying and give her a dowry, what is the matter with you buying it?" ”

Looking at Chen Danying, Lu Xi smiled with a smile on his face: "It turns out that this thing will be mine sooner or later." ”

Chen Jiakang smiled and didn't speak, Xu Youzhen stretched out her hand and twisted it on Lu Xi's arm to stop him from talking nonsense, she knew the couple far better than Lu Xi, pulled Qian Fang to sit down, and said: "It's decided, you take it out, maybe you can't sell it and there will be trouble, this thing is worth at least a few million, there are so many bad people, it's better to put it away." ”

"Don't even think about it." Seeing that his aunt's expression was a little nervous, Lu Xi answered, "Auntie will help me collect it first, and I'll buy it again in a year or two, and then Yingying's expenses will be deducted accordingly, okay?" ”

After Lu Xi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and gently pushed away the little sister who came over to see, and pretended to be serious: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

The little sister puffed out her mouth dissatisfied, Lu Xi closed the lacquer box, looked at her aunt's nervous expression, turned around and asked with a smile: "Mom, there are no good things in our family?" ”

Xu Youzhen glanced at Lu Xi and said, "I would have already sold it for someone to open a factory." ”

Lu Xi glanced at his father, saw him embarrassed and smiled, so he revealed the topic and stopped talking, thinking that if there were any treasures in the family, the family would not fall into that situation in the previous life.

Mom and Dad persuaded Aunt and Brother-in-law a few more words, seeing that the two were about to move, Lu Xi interjected: "That's it, I'll call someone to help contact me when I go back, and I'll also contact you by the way when I go out this time, Yingying will rest at home for a few days, then go to a TOEFL class, take the test a few more times, and the results will meet the requirements, and the rest of the things will be much simpler." ”

When the aunt and uncle-in-law opened their mouths, it was close to eleven o'clock before Lu Xi's family left.

When she went out, Xu Youzhen deliberately pulled Lu Xi to walk behind, looking at the distance between her husband and daughter in front of her, she taught Lu Xi a few words, and then asked in a low voice: "Where have you and Yingying developed?" ”

Knowing what his mother was thinking, Lu Xi smiled: "Do everything that needs to be done." ”

Xu Youzhen was silent for a while, and said: "Yingying is a good girl, if you can ensure that you will be together in the future, our family will have nothing to pay for this money, and now the new factory is under construction, and it will be put into operation in the second half of the year, and the funds will be more abundant." ”

Lu Xi smiled: "We can't be together, so you won't have to pay this money?" Although the relationship is very distant, from your grandfather's point of view, how can you say that she is also your niece. ”

Xu Youzhen stretched out her hand and twisted it on Lu Xi's arm, and said: "I'd rather Yingying be my daughter, but it's much more worry-free than you, you treat her well for me, let me know that you are messing around outside, be careful about your skin, and what you will do in the future must let me and your father know." ”

Lu Xi laughed embarrassedly twice and said, "You already know that Luzhu is my company, and if you have nothing to do on the Internet, you will know what I do." ”

Mom chattered all the way, walked to the parking lot, Dad and little sister had already gotten on the Cherokee, seeing Mom waiting by his car, Lu Xi smiled and asked, "Mom, do you want to go to Newport with me?" ”

Xu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "You're not going back to Lucheng?" There are 20 days to go before the college entrance examination, and the results of the college entrance examination for admission without examination cannot be zero. ”

Lu Xi smiled: "I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow, I'll be back soon, and I won't miss the college entrance examination." "He didn't catch up with the entrance exam, and he had to wait until September to come back for the make-up exam.

Xu Youzhen always thought that Lu Xi said at his cousin's house that he was going to San Francisco to negotiate in order to dispel their scruples and talk nonsense, but when he saw that he was really going abroad, he frowned and asked, "What if you can't come back?" ”

The U.S. network infrastructure has a good coverage rate, and the number of registered users has soared since the operation of overseas companies and the official promotion of network ants, and there have been nearly 1.5 million registered users by early this morning, of which paid music download users have reached one-third, and overseas companies have made profits ahead of domestic companies, but the negotiations have not been successful, and they may face lawsuits, and Lu Xi only briefly mentioned two sentences to Xiuqing and Sun Mingwei.

Recently, Wan Xingnian has called several times to report on the negotiation process with the five major record companies, and all the issues have been discussed, only there are still objections on the pricing and sharing of each song, and tomorrow he and Hong Xuedong will participate in the negotiations, and twenty days is enough.

Lu Xi replied with a smile: "I promise not to delay the college entrance examination." ”

Xu Youzhen walked to the side of the Cherokee helplessly, opened the car door and hesitated for a while before turning around and saying: "Whether you are a billionaire or the richest man in the world, you are my son, if you don't come back for the college entrance examination, be careful that I peel your skin." ”

Lu Xi grinned and opened the car door, and after his father started the car, he also peeked out of the window and said, "You have to take good care of yourself when you go out." ”

Lu Xi smiled and nodded in response, his father, who has never revealed his emotions, cares about what people say better than his mother.

********************************************

The flight connecting through LA was delayed, and it was already evening when Lu Xi and Hong Xuedong arrived in San Francisco. San Francisco in May was a little cold in the morning and evening, and when they got off the plane and walked out of the terminal and waited for Wan Xingnian and Melanie to come to pick them up, Lu Xi put on a thin jacket and said to Hong Xuedong, who was not afraid of the cold, "I was in a hurry last time, do you want to take you around this time?" ”

Hong Xuedong shook his head and smiled, and replied: "You are only negotiating, I still have a bunch of things on hand here, so let's wait for us to have a place here before swimming." ”

In addition to participating in the negotiations, Hong Xuedong also had to load more complex encryption measures on music download websites, and also upgrade older versions.

Overseas companies have made profits, and then the network ants have a series of promotion plans, after the implementation of the promotion plan, there will be a steady stream of funds for the development of WeChat, Lu Xi only has a negotiation task, but there is no pressure, said with a smile: "A person stands at different heights, looks at the same scenery and sees things that are different, now walk around and see, when you achieve higher achievements in the future, you will not forget what you have seen, those things can also be a mirror, he can make you proud, It also allows you to remain eternally humble. ”

Hong Xuedong pushed his thick glasses, stared at Lu Xi a few times, and said with a smile: "How old are you older than me this year?" ”

Lu Xi replied with a serious smile: "It's only in his twenties." ”

Hong Xuedong grinned, and at this time, Wan Xingnian and Melanie got out of the car that had just stopped, smiled and waved to the two.

The two walked over and hugged Wan Xingnian and Melanie, Lu Xi checked the time with Wan Xingnian again and adjusted the watch to San Francisco time, and then said: "The company has made a profit, let's go and celebrate briefly first, and Lao Wan will tell us the general situation of the negotiation and how much profit it has made by the way." ”

Wan Xingnian drove three people to a Cantonese Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, and several people sat down to order, he carefully introduced the negotiation with the five major records, and raised the tone a few points, saying: "From the return of Lu Shao and Mr. Hong to the time before getting off the plane, in less than 40 days, the registered users of Internet ants have soared to 1.6 million, of which one-third of the paying users of music websites have reached one-third, as of today, the paying users have downloaded a total of 3.27 million songs, with an average of six songs per person. We price each song at $1.2 and have earned more than $3.8 million since April. Last year, the United States announced that goods and services sold online were exempt from taxation, and this decree was effective until October 01, so we don't have to pay taxes, and we don't have to pay taxes based on the seventy-third share proposed by the five major record companies, and we have made nearly 1.2 million profits from April to now, and Fanning has also contributed a lot, if it weren't for the launch of the music download website, he would hack those free music sites every day, and we wouldn't have earned so much. ”

Melanie took out the list of specific data she made and handed it over, Lu Xi glanced at it and threw it to Hong Xuedong, and said excitedly: "We want to toast to profit." ”

Lu Xi and Hong Xuedong knew that overseas companies had generated profits, but they were most concerned about the negotiation process with the five major record companies, and they did not ask in detail how much profits they generated, of course, they did not think that there would be so much, the company has experienced half a year of development, it is not easy to do this step, looking at the profit of nearly 1.2 million US dollars on the statement, the two of them can't help but be excited.

The overseas company has generated a profit of $1.2 million in less than two months after its official operation, which is something to celebrate regardless of the progress of the negotiations.

After the four of them raised their glasses, Lu Xi said with a smile: "Overseas companies can have the current results, Lao Wan, Melanie and Fanning have made great contributions, and the company will reward you materially after the negotiation is successful." ”

Melanie thanked her with a smile, and Wan Xingnian also said politely: "If it weren't for Lu Shao's proposal to launch the music website in advance, we wouldn't have today's ......." ”

After listening to Wan Xingnian's polite words, Hong Xuedong interjected: "If the negotiations go well, the five major record companies will definitely hold a press conference to announce the record industry's march to the Internet. ”
