Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Zhou Family's Water Bureau
[The new book list is very dangerous, and I urgently need recommended votes! ] 】
……
The Zhou family is a very low-key family in Nanjiang and is little known.
The children of his family are distributed in various fields and industries, coupled with the rich background support of this family, and the children of his family have made achievements relying on family resources, so that the prosperity of this family once reached its peak.
However, if a family that was strong for a time has grown to a certain extent, or even threatens others, if the person in power is unable to control the development of the family, and does not handle the relationship of interests among the members of the family properly, so that the members of the family cannot unite as one, and after contradictions and conflicts of interest appear, coupled with the enemy's attack, there will inevitably be a situation of general disintegration.
The Zhou family is exactly like this, after experiencing three generations of ups and downs, it began to decline from prosperity, only thirty years, after the death of the older generation one after another, it quickly declined.
The descendants of the Zhou family have always reflected on the reasons for the decline, believing that on the one hand, there are not too many outstanding talents among the new generation of the family, and on the other hand, there are attacks from several enemies in the shadows.
However, when the new generation of the children of the Zhou family develops, they can become the best of the older generation in terms of ability and wisdom, and even some enemies in the shadows have been suppressed one after another, in terms of wealth, the new generation has also accumulated a lot of wealth through hard work, and in terms of power, they have also made achievements and become new stars in the political arena, but they still cannot reverse the momentum of the family's continued decline.
The Zhou family has become thin and thin, and some branches are almost about to break the bloodline inheritance, which makes the old people of the Zhou family gradually realize that if they still can't curb this momentum after some internal troubles and external worries are eliminated, it must be a problem with the feng shui of the Zhou family.
So, the Zhou family sought out a feng shui master to find the reason in this regard.
However, many feng shui masters were invited, but they couldn't see the crux of the problem, which made the old man of the Zhou family very anxious.
And in the end, it was a child of the Zhou family who overheard a rumor among the people, and through this rumor, he invited a feng shui master who had been hidden for many years with the greatest sincerity, and only then did he find the crux of the Zhou family's feng shui problem.
However, after finding a feng shui master, there are some specific things needed to arrange the feng shui bureau, including the five elements of silver, and the Zhou family has collected a lot of them in the antique market, and they can barely get together the other four types.
But only the mercury of the main water has the highest requirements, first of all, it cannot come out of muddy water or sand muddy water, let alone from tombs, and the year must be more than three or five hundred years, the more the better, so the Zhou family collected a lot, but there was no suitable one, which made the Zhou family even more anxious.
Finally, there was news recently, and he got two ingots of mercury that met the requirements from a fat man, but the fat man didn't know where to inquire about the Zhou family's need for the feng shui bureau to arrange the feng shui bureau was very urgent, so the lion opened his mouth to ask for 300,000 taels for 10 taels, 3 million for 50 taels, and he must have 10 ingots for packing tickets.
The Zhou family is not short of money, and it naturally doesn't matter how much Chen Fatzi offers, as long as the thing can be done, even if he can give a gratuity afterwards.
But after waiting for many days, the fat man Chen never had an accurate letter, he always procrastinated, and every time he asked, he said that he could get it done soon, but after a few days, he still couldn't do it, which annoyed Mr. Zhou.
In the end, Old Man Zhou said cruelly, the power was quite amazing, and it also gave the fat man Chen a very huge pressure, plus the fat man Chen was too greedy, and he fooled Yu Xiaohu vigorously, and played Yu Xiaohu as a monkey, which also caused Yu Xiaohu's disgust and was finally rejected.
Chen Fatzi was dumbfounded, so he had to turn to Master Fang Yude for help, and under Master Fang's stern questioning, he honestly explained what happened.
After Master Fang listened to Chen Fatzi's explanation, he was also shocked that this dead fat man was really bold, and he dared to knock on the head of the Zhou family, and immediately thundered and was furious, and after scolding Chen Fatzi fiercely, he quickly called Zhou Lao to apologize, and at the same time asked Chen Fatzi for Yu Xiaohu's phone number, and personally called Yu Xiaohu to Cuihu Building to apologize and explain the reason, which eased the matter.
Over the years, the Zhou family has always been low-key, and the children of the family are not public, so Chen Fatzi didn't know that the strong background of the Zhou family dared to rip off the bamboo, but Fang Yude knew very well that no matter what the situation was, Fang Yude must personally come forward to solve this matter perfectly.
Otherwise, once the Zhou family is angry, no matter how big his face is, he will not be able to keep Chen Fatzi's distant nephew.
So this time, he asked Yu Xiaohu to come, introduced Zhou Lao and his daughter Zhou Yuluo, and helped thread the needle in the middle, so that Yu Xiaohu finally agreed to transfer the batch of mercury, and he was secretly relieved.
After eating at the Green Lake Building, Yu Xiaohu took Zhou Yu back to Nandao.
took out the batch of mercury, and then rushed back to Wu City, and when they came to the Zhou family's villa, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, but Zhou Lao and Fang Yude were still drinking tea and waiting there.
After all, it is related to the major events of the family, and the people of the Zhou family attach great importance to this batch of mercury.
After Yu Xiaohu brought the batch of silver ingots over, the Zhou family saw with their own eyes that there were more than 40 ingots, all of which were overjoyed, so they immediately asked Fang Yude to appraise them.
Fang Yude originally wanted to solve this matter satisfactorily, so he carefully identified those silver ingots on the spot.
Until all the silver ingots were identified, Fang Yude was also very surprised, all the silver must have come from the sea salvaged, it was 100% mercury, and it was the same batch, which was indeed very in line with the needs of the Zhou family.
After the Zhou family got the appraisal of Master Fang and confirmed that the silver ingots were all from the sea, there were no taboos of unearthed or burial goods, and they were also very excited.
Zhou Yuluo counted that there were thirty-three ingots in ten taels of silver ingots, thirteen ingots in fifty taels, plus two ingots collected from Chen Fatzi, the feng shui treasure chest they had prepared in advance was just enough to fill these fifty ingots of silver.
In particular, the total amount of silver taels is exactly one thousand taels, which not only satisfactorily solves the problem that they urgently need mercury, but also for the Bufeng Shui Bureau, this thousand taels of integer is also a very perfect number given by a feng shui master, which can be described as a joy.
So in addition to being happy, Zhou Yuluo privately asked Fang Yude about the approximate price of those silver ingots, and after knowing it, he called Yu Xiaohu to another room.
Zhou Yuluo, a woman who looks average, but she has a lot of taste when she laughs.
She was in a very good mood at the moment, and after calling Yu Xiaohu to the room, she opened her mouth to thank you: "Xiaoyu, this time you can generously transfer this batch of mercury, it really solves a big problem for our Zhou family, our Zhou family inherits your love, if you need help in the future, you can come to Auntie, and you will do your best to help!" ”
Yu Xiaohu smiled and said: "Aunt Zhou, you are too polite, my uncle originally planned to make a move on this batch of silver ingots, and I didn't want to be able to solve the problems you encountered, it was a good thing, everyone was happy......
"You kid, you talk so flattering......
Zhou Yuluo felt more and more like this child, and his words were also lovely, and he didn't feel like he had eaten honey in his heart.
She didn't forget to take out a very special name tag from her bag, and then took out a check book, and after writing a number of zeros on the check, she grabbed Yu Xiaohu's hand, stuffed the check and the name tag into his hand, and said: "This is the name brand of our Zhou family, if you encounter anything in the future, you can take this name card, no matter if you find any child of the Zhou family, they will try their best to help, you must keep it......
Yu Xiaohu felt very surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that selling a batch of silver ingots could be exchanged for a unique famous brand of the Zhou family.
Although he didn't know how much of a role this gilded brand representing the Zhou family could play, he gained a favor from a wealthy family, which money can't buy.
After receiving the check and the name tag, when Yu Xiaohu followed Zhou Yu back to the hall, he sneaked a peek at the check, and saw that it was a 3, followed by many zeros, and the capitalization was 30 million yuan, and he couldn't help but be even more happy.
This week's family is really generous and rich, although he has never mentioned the price of those silver ingots to the other party from beginning to end, but he also has a bit of a spectrum in his heart, the ten taels can be sold for about 150,000, and the fifty taels can be sold for about 1.2 million.
He felt that it was already very good that these could be sold for about 20 million in total, but the Zhou family gave 30 million plus a famous brand carrying human affection at once, which was definitely a lot of money.
At this moment, the hall door of the Zhou family's villa opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties, an old man in his sixties, and a few young people entered.
These people all have an old man who is about seventy years old, wearing a robe, and it seems that the Dao Bone Immortal Wind is guarding in the center, and when Zhou Lao, Fang Yude and the others saw this old man, they all immediately stood up and greeted each other respectfully, which looked quite pompous.
However, Yu Xiaohu, who was secretly rejoicing, turned his face, and when he saw the old man in the robe who was respected by the Zhou family like a star and the moon, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and was very surprised, and subconsciously shouted: "Su, Grandpa Su ......."
