Chapter 80: Happy New Year
Back at home, it was already the evening of the 29th lunar calendar.
Li Yaowu's family came, and after Wuyang came forward to call his parents, he greeted them warmly.
Huang Li's parents came yesterday, and they already knew about it on the phone. Commander Huang and his wife are both in military uniforms. Wuyang Zhilu said that Pei Lei's mother is a doctor and a civilian cadre, while Huang Li's mother is an official officer with the rank of colonel. After Wuyang called his parents, his mother-in-law looked at Wuyang again and again, smiling from ear to ear. Commander Huang also boasted: "What a handsome guy, why don't I have it in my army?" ”
Huang's mother said: "Wuyang, we have seen the villa photos you sent on the Internet, and we are very satisfied. How much money do you have now, can you reveal a thing or two, so as to satisfy my curiosity. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Maybe it's similar to Bill Gates." However, he is the richest man in the world on the surface, and my fame cannot be compared with others. ”
Commander Huang said with a smile: "People are going to donate all their assets for charity, do you have any plans?" ”
"He started this business when he was about to retire, and I want to donate all of it now, I don't have this plan yet, and besides, the money is basically running in the company. However, my father has already applied to set up a foundation, and we are going to allocate 500 million yuan to the foundation. ”
Commander Huang said: "I think 500 million yuan is too little, if possible, it should be about 5 billion yuan, so that a small foundation can be organized." Our country's take-off has just begun, and all kinds of systems are not perfect, and there are many aspects that cannot be taken care of for the time being, so your foundation can play a relatively large role. Later, the country became rich. I probably don't care about your money anymore. ”
"Dad, you have a lot of sense. My wealth came relatively quickly. It's also relatively easy, even if it's all used in the Foundation, I won't feel distressed. After the New Year, as long as the Foundation's approval is approved, I will allocate all the money except to maintain the normal operation of the company. Help as many people as you can who need it. Wuyang said.
"I'll just say, this child is not only a good person, but also a good heart. As Lao Huang said just now, the various systems of the country are not perfect, so you can also use this opportunity to gather as much wealth as possible. Anyway, if you don't take these riches, others will take them. If you focus on helping others, others don't necessarily do it. Huang's mother said.
"It's good, thank you for the teachings of your parents, I will try my best to do a good job."
Grandpa also just came back during the day. After dinner, Li Yaowu, grandfather, and Li Shihua chatted together. Li Yaowu excitedly told everyone that the county people's congress had already been held, and he had been successfully elected county magistrate. This is also thanks to Grandpa Zhang's strong support, and Wuyang also contributed a lot.
Wuyang smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. ”
Li Yaowu said: "One is that you set up a cattle farm, which adds an achievement to me. The second is that you started a gold mine, which added millions of dollars to the county's finances. We are a poor county, with less than 20 million available financial resources every year, and we always have no money to do something, but the situation has changed last year. ”
Wuyang said: "I also want to ask for your strong support, I am also going to buy a few mountains, dig to see if there is gold, if there is, the money handed over next year may be doubled." ”
Li Yaowu said: "You ask Tan Ren'an to send me the report, and I will hold a meeting to study it immediately." I'm not going to say anything to make you invest cautiously now. At the beginning, you were a hairy young man, and you invested millions of dollars with a single move, but now you are richer, even if you can't dig up gold by spending tens of millions, you should listen to the sound and play. By the way, Wuyang, where do you get so much money? Give so much to each of them, where did they make a fortune? ”
Grandpa also said, "Where did you make so much money?" It seems that the money from the sale of gold and jewelry here has not been taken, and it is still keeping the company running. ”
Wuyang smiled, "I made some money by gambling stones, and there are still some things I can't say, because it is a matter of state secrets, and it will be a big deal to say it." ”
As soon as Wuyang said this, everyone didn't continue to ask.
Grandpa told Wuyang about this cattle sale. Due to the good business of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Bingyan's fame broke out, and the number of cities selling cattle increased by two, and the Chinese New Year was bigger than the Mid-Autumn Festival after all, so the sales volume of beef was naturally larger. In addition to completing the sales tasks within the contract, more than 10,000 heads were also sold. This time, the method of killing cattle in the local area and then transporting beef for sale was basically adopted, so that on the one hand, the sales volume increased, the profit per cow increased, on the other hand, the transportation cost was reduced a lot, and the bezoar was basically recovered, and the total profit doubled to more than 80 million.
Grandpa also told Wuyang that the cattle farm he invested in the county last time is now operating normally, and there are more than 3,000 cattle of all sizes. Li Yaowen's subordinates are very effective in doing things. Cattle farms mainly buy cows to breed, but also buy some sick cattle, such as the previous in the farmhouse when skinny, after veterinary treatment, basically changed, such cattle purchase cost is low, raising up to increase fast, than raising calves much more profitable. There are currently 5 to 600 of these cattle. It is estimated that it will be able to sell next fall.
Wuyang also reported the recent situation, and his grandfather said: "I took a turn in the afternoon, and I also took a look at the unloading of the car in the gold mine before dinner. ”
"Now the price of gold is the same every day, anyway, we are not in a hurry to wait for the money, in the future, there will be more stores, the demand will also increase, sooner or later it will be sold." After Wuyang finished speaking, he remembered that there was still something to do, so he said goodbye.
Wuyang drove to Xiaobao's processing plant to have a look and moved the carving tools in. Xiaobao and his senior brother are still busy, seeing Wuyang, Xiaobao said: "Brother Wuyang, we are busy tonight, tomorrow the senior brothers will have a holiday, my task has been completed, tomorrow morning I will polish the jade that the senior brothers are carving now, you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind." ”
Xiaobao took out a few big bags, which were jade objects packed in brocade boxes, and Xiaobao ordered them to Wuyang. Wuyang said: "The carving tools I bought from Huaiyang are placed downstairs, you follow me to the car to get some money and come down, and I will send them to your senior brother and them later." Let them go home for the New Year. ”
Wuyang gave Xiaobao 40,000 yuan. "You give 5,000 each to your senior brother and Dabao. You yourself have 10,000. You work hardest. ”
Xiaobao also gave Wuyang 10,000, "Brother Wuyang, I don't want it, I have money, and I have nowhere to spend it." I'm here to carve the two pieces of jadeite you fused last time, I still like miniature carving, really, I can't let go of my heart. Now I just don't know what to carve in the road. Leave me alone these days. I remember that I would come over for dinner, and it doesn't matter if I didn't, I would buy food here and prepare it. ”
Wuyang said: "You don't know what to carve in the road, you can go to the bookstore tomorrow to buy a few books you like, and you can carve them, you still take the money, and save it if you don't need it." Tomorrow night at home reunion dinner, your aunt will send red envelopes, you must participate, and you must notify Dabao to participate together. Go over and help my aunt with things as much as possible. Wuyang Zhilu said. If you let him go over to eat, you can excuse yourself, but if you let him do things in the past, you can't excuse yourself.
"Okay." Xiaobao said.
Back home. The girls are back from a walk. Wuyang moved all the big bags and small bags in the car into the house and went to take a shower. In the evening, he transferred the money from his account to the futures account, leaving only 4 billion euros. I immediately ate two futures of oil and gold, 320 million barrels last time, 180 million barrels this time, more than 18.3 million ounces of gold last time, more than 81.7 million this time, 500 million oil and 100 million gold, including 250 million Brent crude oil and 250 million U.S. crude oil. There are still 30 billion US dollars on the books, and Wuyang decided to stay and see the situation later, doesn't it mean that eggs can't be put in one basket? The last time I ate oil was about $58 per barrel, now it's almost $70; Gold is less than $700 per ounce, and now it has reached more than 740, which is only a few days old, and it is really bullish every day. But there was always a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, and it took a few more weeks to sleep.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family was busy after breakfast. Li Shihua and Luo Hongying prepared meals with the chef, and Wuyang and noodles were ready to make dumplings, there were dumpling wrappers sold on the street, Qin Xiaoying said that the dumpling wrappers he bought were not delicious, and he was even more worried that the noodles were not good, so he did it himself. After making peace, I drove to pick up Wu Fang's parents, because I had to pick up Wang Xiaohui's parents in the afternoon, and I had to go by myself, so I had to pick up the family in the morning.
Wuyang also invited Xie Jiliang, Liu Bingqiu, Wang Bin, Yuan Zhi, Luo Hao, Zhang Jianke and a group of people to come, Xie Jiliang, Yuan Zhi, and Luo Hao said that they were at their house at noon, and they were going to his girlfriend's house at night, and they couldn't come, and Zhang Jianke couldn't come over in the afternoon, only Liu Bingqiu and Wang Bin came over at night.
Wu Fang and Wuyang went to pick up their parents together, they deliberately left late in the morning, and invited them to eat at a luxury hotel in the provincial capital at noon, which made Wu Fang's father almost change his mind, saying that he ate such a good thing at noon, and he would not go at night. It was Wu Fang's mother who persuaded her: "Go to meet your in-laws and mother-in-law, and it's not just about eating." Wu Fang's father just got in the car.
When I returned home, my three aunts, my father, and my children arrived, as did my grandmother, uncles and aunts. The aunt proposed to play mahjong, and the aunt and father seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and as soon as the aunt said, several people immediately got up. Fortunately, when the furniture was added at that time, mahjong machines were bought in each villa. There is a well-known saying in the local area: no mahjong can not keep guests.
3 aunts and aunts at the same table, 3 aunts and uncles at the same table, Wu family father-in-law, Pei family mother-in-law, Liu Bingqiu and Li Yaowu together a table. Wuyang gave a base of 10,000 yuan to everyone who played mahjong.
People who don't play mahjong watch TV, surf the Internet, chat and knock melon seeds, and Wuyang also gave them a base gold, saying that they would let them play birds next to them.
After picking up Wang Xiaohui's parents and placing them, Wuyang began to chop dumpling filling, 15 catties of pork and 15 catties of mutton, and chopped them for nearly an hour.
When it was about to eat, Tan Zhuqing came in a hurry. Wuyang hurriedly took the luggage and said, "Didn't you say that you would come over for the New Year at home?" ”
"Yes, I had a reunion dinner at home this morning, and my father drove me to the county seat, and I came by bus."
Wuyang Zhilu Dao is the same in Zhongnan, as long as she eats a reunion dinner, it will be considered a New Year's Eve together, so let her wash and prepare for dinner.
Everyone went to the table, and Wuyang estimated that there were all the people, so he took a few bags downstairs and sent the jade objects to everyone. There are fewer things for men, which is a pendant with their own attributes, a Guanyin pendant, and a ring; The woman's things are more complete, a bracelet. A Buddha pendant. A pair of necklaces. A pair of earrings, a ring. There is only one pendant for several cousins and cousins of Wuyang, and there is only one pendant for Liu Bingqiu and his wife, children, and Wang Bin.
Luo Hongying happily put on her bracelet and gave red envelopes to her juniors. The girls of Wuyang, cousins and cousins, Wang Bin, and Liu Bingqiu's children all have them, each with 100,000 yuan. A few days ago, considering that the red package could not cost so much money, Wu Fang went to buy all kinds of bags and came back. The girl is Kun Bao. Boys are sports backpacks, and students are school bags. These bags are all famous brands, and the price is more than 1,000 yuan. To be honest, the only people who care about these bags and money may only be my aunt's cousins and cousins, not even Xiaobao. However, both adults and children are happy to receive gifts. Grandma, aunts, and aunts of the afternoon sun. They all put necklaces and bracelets on. Xiaohui and a few of their girls also put on bracelets or something. A happy expression on his face.
Wuyang heard Xiaobao speaking loudly: "This bracelet is worth 4 million, and this pendant is worth 200,000 ......" It is estimated that his aunt and father asked him if he didn't know the price, so he simply said loudly and let the people at several tables hear it.
Mother Luo Hongying sat at a table with her daughters-in-law, and later her aunt came over again and said that she wanted to sit with the women of the Li family, and they became 12 people.
Father Li Shihua sat at the same table with his in-laws and mothers, Li Yaowu and his wife, Wu Fang's parents, Wang Xiaohui's parents, Huang Li's parents, Pei Lei's parents, and Wuyang's grandmother, are also 12 people.
Wuyang's 3 aunts and 3 aunts sat at a table, Li Qiuhua pulled Grandpa Zhang to the side and sat down, and Liu Bingqiu, his wife and children, and Wang Bin also sat at this table. Also 12 people.
Wuyang sat at a table with all his cousins and cousins, and there were 11 people of all sizes, and the number was basically the same.
Today's wine is the best wine that Wuyang bought, yesterday Wu Fang selected the best liquor and red wine in the underground garage, and shipped back several pieces of each, Wuyang felt that Wu Fang's ability to do things was getting better and better.
Li Shihua spoke first as a parent. "Welcome to all your mothers-in-law, and welcome to your daughters. Also welcome the arrival of friends in Wuyang, today's New Year, all the people of our Li family have arrived, this is the most complete time in the history of our Li family. In the future, we have the participation of our daughters, the help of relatives and friends, especially the care and support of our in-laws and mothers, our Li family will be more prosperous. Please raise your glass, for the health of the elderly, for the prosperity of all the in-laws in the officialdom, and for the career and academic success of the young people, we toast. ”
Everyone said cheers, Uncle Wuyang's little brother Xiang Yang was playing a childish child's voice, and everyone laughed when he said cheers alone.
Then there is a toast, everyone first toasts grandma and Grandpa Zhang, and then toasts between in-laws and mothers, and then Wuyang and Dabao and Xiaobao toast the elders, there are more people who need to toast in Wuyang, although it is a small wine glass, each elder toasts a glass, and drinks more than 20 glasses of wine in a circle. Toasting at home, not on other occasions, everyone expressed their meaning regardless of whether they drank or not. Those who can drink, when they see a toast, they are basically dry, and those who can't drink should also hold a wine glass and touch their lips. Only Luo Hongying and their table are the quietest. Originally, the girls were still able to drink a little wine, but now that they have 3 pregnant women, the other girls don't know if they have them in their stomachs, so Luo Hongying only poured a small glass of red wine for everyone.
Li Shihua, Pei Xuewen, and Wu Fang's father Wu Tao toasted each other, and the toasts were: Congratulations on becoming a grandfather. Commander Huang waited for this sentence and did not wait. Wang Xiaohui's father is also very happy today, talking and laughing loudly, drinking is just touching his lips, saying that he can't drink. Xiaohui's mother drank a few glasses of liquor instead.
After drinking for more than an hour, the Spring Festival Gala of Central Station will start soon. Wuyang's generation grew up with the gala, and it is a must-see show for them, and their parents also accompanied the gala from youth to middle age, and they also like this show from the heart.
Xiaohui's father proposed to leave, saying that he would be on duty at night, and Li Shihua and Luo Hongying sent them outside the door and filled them with some raw dumplings that had been wrapped in the afternoon. followed by a few aunts and fathers who said goodbye, saying that they had made an appointment to play mahjong. Wuyang Zhilu said that they work hard all year round, and it is rare to be a Chinese New Year's Eve, and they must live the addiction of playing mahjong. The 3 families left only Xiaobao.
Uncle and aunt also said goodbye, and Xiao Xiangyang said: "I'm not going back, I want to play with my beautiful sister." Everyone laughed.
The aunt scolded with a smile: "When I grow up, I am a pervert again." ”
Grandma said: "It doesn't matter if you're sexual, you have to have the ability, otherwise who will follow you?" ”
Auntie smiled: "It's all what you're used to." ”
The uncle's family left, the grandmother stayed, and the old man had already said that he would have a grandchild next year, and I had to help watch it.
followed by several parents-in-law who were Wuyang said goodbye and said that they would go back to watch TV. Luo Hongying invited them to come over tomorrow morning to eat dumplings.
The family makes dumplings while watching TV. Only Qin Xiaoying alone can roll noodles, so many people wrap them, and later Wuyang also found a rolling pin and learned to roll noodles. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, and I wrapped, chatted, and watched all the time.
It was almost 12 midnight, and the firecrackers and firecrackers were moved outside the house at midnight. As soon as the bell rang at 0 o'clock, the afternoon sun lit firecrackers. The rest of the fireworks were basically set by Huang Li, Mengyu, and Mengxin.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wuyang went to see Wu Fang's parents home in the morning, and the rest of the time was New Year's greetings. After paying New Year's greetings to Li Yaowu and his wife, Pei Xuewen and his wife, Huang Junchang and his wife, he and Xiaohui gave New Year's greetings to her parents.
When I returned home, I just had dinner, and I received a call from my uncle Li Qiuhua, asking him to hurry up to a certain hotel.
Came to the hotel and walked into a private room with my uncle, Secretary He sat at the dining table with a graceful and luxurious woman, a kind old lady, and a boy sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Wuyang called Uncle He, and Uncle asked him to call Grandma He and Aunt Duan. Then he said to Secretary He: "My nephew bought a few stones from southern Yunnan and cut out the jade in them, he only recently asked someone to carve them, and I asked him to bring them today and give them to my aunt and sister-in-law for appreciation." ”
Wuyang took out the brocade box and placed it separately on the table in front of them. put the red set in front of Secretary He again. Secretary He opened the brocade box, took it out and looked at it, "This thing is very valuable, right?" ”
Li Qiuhua hurriedly said: "It's not worth a few dollars." ”
At this time, the aunt took out the bracelet and looked at it, "This thing is fake, why is it so green?" ”
Secretary He looked at Wuyang and said, "Tell me, what's going on with this thing?" ”
Wuyang said: "This thing is definitely not fake, I cut it out of the jadeite wool by myself." As for whether it's worth it or not, it depends on how you say it. If it's an object in front of you, it's still worth a little money. But I spent 500,000 yuan to buy a piece of wool, and the jadeite cut out of it can be carved into 100 such bracelets, so this bracelet is only worth a few thousand dollars. That's the case. ”
Secretary He smiled: "You took it to my mother and wife, why do you still have a set of red ones?" ”
"This red one is hard to find, I happen to have it in my hand, so I will give it to my little brother and use it when I get married in the future. lest you not find it when you get it. ”
"I hid in the hotel to avoid other people's gifts, but I was discovered by your uncle and nephew. Now listen to my mom. Mom, what do you say? ”
"You can't eat or drink this thing, it doesn't matter if you take it or not. Since the young man is sincere, let's take it. The old lady said.
Secretary He smiled and said, "Young man, work hard." Thank you today. (To be continued......)
