Chapter 36: The First Meeting (2)
After the meal, the family did not change with the arrival of Cheng Shigui and them, it used to be a one-man show of Old Man Lin, and now everyone listens to Mo Bei playing the violin. After nearly a year of study, Mebbe has demonstrated her amazing musical talent and ability to learn.
Everyone moved to the old man's house together, Cheng Shigui and the two of them looked at the furnishings of the house, and marveled that it was like entering the ancient study, from the appearance of the book, it was all old things, well preserved.
Everyone made a chair, "Xiaobei, let's start," said Old Man Lin.
After the innocent and lively little girl put on a posture just now, her temperament became serious, and a cheerful song "Skylark" came out briskly.
"This ......" Han Zhiqian poked Cheng Shigui, who was sitting next to him, his eyes widened.
This piece is a unique work by the Romanian composer Diniu, and it is a unique vibrato on the treble E string of the violin. The music skillfully uses the vibrato technique of the violin's upper and lower fingers, and with an extremely bright and cheerful melody, Cheng Shigui closes his eyes as if he can see the larks contending, the sun is bright, and the scenery is picturesque in the mountains and forests.
Fang Mobei fell in love with it from the first time she heard Mr. Lin play the violin, she liked the feeling of rhythm beating on the strings very much, so when she learned that she could also learn, she naturally worked hard, hoping to play beautiful music as well.
Cheng Shigui didn't dare that a three-year-old child could express the artistic conception in the song so well, although the skills were not fully mature, and he was a little stumbling, and he didn't dare to imagine it in time.
It seems that since he got to know 'Nannan', nothing is impossible, and his heart's ability to bear it has gradually strengthened.
At the end of the song, Mr. Lin commented that it was okay, and there were two places that should be like this...... Such...... It's going to be better. "Seeing that Mobei still wants to pull it again, the old man stopped it." Well, it's not something that can be done overnight, practice again. ”
"Nannan, what about you," Old Man Lin said by name, "Although you have no feelings, but the old man, I feel uncomfortable if I don't listen to him for a day." ”
“? Grandpa, I still want it" Fang Menan pointed out, she got up helplessly, picked up the erhu, the same "Skylark" came out brightly, the timbre of the erhu is similar to the human voice, the personality is distinct, and it is full of artistic appeal and national charm.
Different instruments express the same music, after all, Fang Monan is old in his heart, after these years of erhu learning, it is not difficult to change the famous violin song to use erhu, and the coordination ability of the body is better than that of ordinary children, and the superb vibrato stunt is done in one go.
"Oh, it's a pity" Old Man Lin looked at her with a regretful face, as if everything was hers.
Fang Monan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I said don't pull it." ”
"It's a pity, I listened to it well." Auntie said.
"South...... Sister Nan "Cheng Shigui said, the skills of changing the mouth are impeccable, but unfortunately it can only express the feelings of the song, and the feelings of the performers outside the song cannot be heard, and it cannot resonate, saying that it is like background music. Although Xiaobei is not proficient in skills, as long as she practices more, it is possible to catch up, and she is very emotional, very infectious, and attracts listeners. And some feelings can only be expressed by having rich experience. And Xiaobei has an innate advantage and understanding in terms of feelings. ”
"Rotten wood can't be carved," Old Man Lin looked at Fang Monan and said with emotion.
"Grandpa Lin, you can be content, Xiaobei is the focus of your education, and I am just a sparring partner." Fang Monan blinked innocently. "Alright, it's time to tell the story." She changed the subject.
"You," Old Man Lin nodded her head, "let's move on to idiom stories and fables." After Mr. Lin finished telling the four famous novels, he began to tell idiom stories, which were short and far-reaching. However, what he talks about is different from others, he often talks about the evaluations of his predecessors, and also adds comments. It was very casual and open-ended, and it also allowed them to express their feelings, and even Mobei sometimes expressed his views on the issues. Teach them how to behave and do things.
Liang Zi listened to it every time and felt a lot, since these 'stories' after dinner, as long as he didn't go south, he would only go back to the point to do accounts and count goods after listening, and he got it very late, never stopping.
Old Man Lin saw it in his heart, and introduced some books for him to read, using the past as a metaphor for the present, and benefited a lot.
"Alright, it's eight o'clock, it's time to go to bed." Old Man Lin clapped his hands, they still couldn't finish listening, and reluctantly left.
Liang Zi got up and said goodbye and left, and went back to the store to continue to be busy. The thin monkey and the fat man also strongly asked to join after these incidents, and later the three of them negotiated to take turns, and then told each other.
"Agui, do you want to take a bath and skip words. Fang Menan stopped the two of them and asked.
"It's great that I can still take a shower, it's been a few days, and I feel like I'm getting rancid." Han Zhiqian shouted happily.
"Come with me," said Fang Menan, who took them to the kitchen and told them how to wash them.
"Oh wait, I'll go get a change of clothes." Cheng Shigui went to the bedroom and took out his clothes. I saw a few large cardboard boxes in the living room, surrounded by my grandmother and aunt. Seeing him, grandma and they got out of the way, and Agui opened the box.
"Color TV recorder," Fang Monan said.
"Matthew originally wanted to bring the refrigerator, but unfortunately it was too big for the car to fit." Han Zhiqian carried them to the table with him.
"There's still one here." Cheng Shigui took out a few beautifully packaged small boxes and handed them to Fang Monan.
"Rolex watches." Old Man Lin was surprised when he saw the package.
"The old man is really knowledgeable, I brought it from Switzerland." Cheng Shigui said that after getting Sister Nan's family information from Liang Zi, he decided that he had to meet 'Sister Nan' in person, so he made a special detour to Switzerland to buy it.
"Yes, I used to have a piece, but I gave it away." Old Man Lin said in his heart, it doesn't matter if they are doing well now, they are looking for it when the policy is not repeated in the next two years
"These are all brought to you." Cheng Shigui handed most of the gift watches in his hand to everyone one by one, and when he gave it to Fang Monan, it was obvious that this gift was not suitable for her.
Fang Monan accepted: It's okay, I'll wear it when I grow up. ”
The gift to Mebean was a new violin brought from Brescia, Italy, an old violin made in imitation of Strativa has a high sensitivity, which is very suitable for children, and it is easy to play the old violin; The sound quality and timbre of the old violin are mature, without the sharp and harsh sound of the new violin. The old violin is extremely penetrating, and this violin has a slightly longer body and a narrower upper part, so the player will be very comfortable when using it. Mo Bei couldn't put it down, stroked it gently, and couldn't stop saying thank you.
Cheng Shigui went to take a bath with Han Zhiqian after handing out the gifts.
The men's watch in Mr. Lin's hand lies quietly in the gift box, very thick and magnificent, and the luxury is a classic silver-white, diamond-studded, low-key luxury.
In my mother's hand is an 18-gold watch for couples, with fine workmanship, smooth lines, heavy feel, and ultimate luxury.
"Nannan, this is too precious, can we ask for it," Mom smacked her tongue as she looked at her watch.
"If you give it to you, take it, and if it's okay, it's their filial piety." Grandma said, "Oh yes, Dayan vacates the North House, and you can sleep with us tonight." Remember to put on new sheets, a new quilt made this year, and use them for both of them. ”
"That's it." Mom put away the presents and went to the north room to make the bed.
Fang Monan opened his grandmother's gift was a white jade Guanyin, and his aunt's was an Omega women's watch with a milky white silver and diamond-encrusted dial.
"It's so beautiful." Auntie with her hand, "How much does this watch brand cost?"
Old Man Lin was the only one who said the brand of the watch just now, and he was afraid that he knew a lot, so he looked at him with a few pairs of eyes, waiting to solve his doubts. "Rolex and Omega are both Swiss watches, registered as a trademark of Rolex in 1908, and Rolex watches are designed with dignity and without flashiness. Omega is probably more than 110 years old. And Nannan has a longer history of holding this piece of Patek Philippe, and is known as the world's first. ”
"Wow....... wow...... How much does this cost?" the aunt smacked.
"It's not expensive, it's all the latest. A piece is only a few thousand dollars. Cheng Shigui came in after taking a shower and said.
"Okay, let's go to bed, it's a little late today, don't you go to school, don't you skip words. Grandma pushed and pushed the aunt to pull Mo Bei and walked to the south bedroom.
Fang Monan sat on the warm kang, leaning on the big quilt behind him and said if he had said the word "dollar". ”
This bedroom is next to the steamed bun kitchen, so a hot kang has also been repaired.
Cheng Shigui and the others came in and slammed the door shut, "Hehe...... It's not about scaring them. Han Zhiqian said with a smile.
"Grandma's Jade Buddha, where did it come from, the jade is delicate, the craftsmanship is exquisite, flawless, it is an antiquity, and the sum of those watches is not worth its value." Fang Monan glanced at it hurriedly, with her current eyesight and eyesight, it was extremely accurate.
"I came across a small auction in Hong Kong." "'Sister Nan''s eyesight is extremely high" Cheng Shigui looked at her playfully, also leaning back against the quilt, with a relaxed and comfortable face, after taking a bath, she really felt refreshed and sat comfortably on the kang.
Fang Menan hurriedly changed the topic and asked: What is the situation in Italy? ”
Cheng Shigui's face was happy, "We have invested about 100 million yuan to use leverage to short Italian stocks, and now it is conservatively estimated that it is about ten times." ”
“?” Han Zhiqian's voice suddenly became too high, and Cheng Shigui knocked on his leg, "So much?" His voice was lowered. By the way, you have that much money. ”
"Oh, 'Nannan' won more than 60 million in betting, and I won more than 40 million in it, and I invested it." Cheng Shigui said honestly.
"If you don't call me, I won 60 million here" Han Zhiqian exclaimed, "It's really not interesting,"
"You kid, don't tell me if you win so much." Cheng Shigui twisted his ears, "You still lied to me that you don't have much fun, well......." ”
"Sister Nan, help, I'll mess with you in the future." Han Zhiqian folded his hands and asked. "Ahem...... Okay, let's get down to business. Fang Menan coughed and said. What's next? ”
"According to your expectations, the strike will continue for a while, and the money will increase." Cheng Shigui paused and said that speculating in the stock market is always a temporary action, and if you want to make money steadily, you still rely on industry. I want to invest money in industry, although the stock market comes quickly, it changes rapidly, although the industry is slow, but down-to-earth. Even if we don't do business, we must invest in potential industrial companies, so that we can make a fool of progress. It's impossible for us to buy a company like Ferrari, but it's still possible to buy a brand. ”
"Oh, you want to buy that brand" Fang Monan raised his eyebrows and said, men love cars, wine, and more.
"Lamborghini, taking advantage of this strike, I want to buy this brand." Cheng Shigui looked at her expression, listened to her meaning, and said simply. "About fifty million dollars."
"You can wait, I guess there will be a change of government soon. In the darkness before dawn is the best time. Fang Menan thought about it. You can also see if there are other investment opportunities. ”
Cheng Shigui nodded, "At times like this, it is normal for the government to change, and there is no need to find a reason for opponents to attack, it is ready-made." ”
Fang Menan remembered that in the early days of his life, Lamborghini went bankrupt in 1980 due to the company's poor management, "With the support of family funds, the Swiss Patrick Millerman took control of Lamborghini S.p.A., which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and turned it into a profit." By 1987, when the profitability of supercars was at its peak, Millermann sold Lamborghini to Chrysler. After several changes of ownership, it became part of Audi in 1998 and is now one of the brands owned by the Volkswagen Group. The logo of Lamborghini is a bull full of power and attacking the opponent, which is in line with the characteristics of a high-horsepower high-speed sports car, and also reflects the bullfighting personality of the founder Lamborghini.
If the acquisition is successful, Fang Monan will be a complete amateur in terms of technology, but she can draw some classic sports car designs for their reference, as she said she picked up a pencil and drew a few classic shapes on paper. The hidden headlights make it break with the traditional model, the front windshield forms a smooth slope with the front of the car, and there are three air intakes on the side of the body, which is not only designed to cool the engine, but also gives the overall shape of the body a strong sense of sculpturality, and the whole body exudes a strong masculinity, every line and edge shows uninhibited wildness. In particular, the gullwing doors that open upwards give the impression of a super car, and even today, more than 20 years later, people still feel the designer's advanced consciousness.
Cheng Shigui watched the appearance of the sports car gradually take shape, and his eyes widened wider and wider. Pick up the drawing book. "This ...... "Look at the drawing book, and look at her." It's so fascinating. ”
They discussed the situation in Italy and the follow-up issues, and asked Fang Menan to sign some important documents, and finally she reminded him to pay attention to Italian clothing. Cheng Shigui immediately understood that her clothing design could be among the world, but she was restricted by her age and location, which was also an opportunity, and he nodded to show that he understood.
"In order for Hong Kong investment companies to be established, they must establish a base area, and the focus will be on Asia in the future." Fang Menan said, "Take the opportunity to absorb a few big bull stocks and hold them for a long time, and the returns will be very stable and rich." "She wrote about a couple of stocks.
"But I'm worried about its future now." Cheng Shigui hesitated.
"Don't worry, Hong Kong will be better." Fang Monan said firmly, there is no need to have the slightest doubt.
"Your doppelganger spell, wait until the matter in Italy is over, and be prepared first." Fang Mo South Road.
Cheng Shigui also regretted that although Japan was successful in copying the bottom, he was a little worried that the money invested in it was not very much, and the base was too small, so he didn't make much money.
She saw that it was almost there, and when Fang Monan was leaving, he told them that the two quilts were new cotton, and they were very warm. Cheng Shigui handed over two passbooks, and she left without looking at them.
In Grandma's bedroom, my aunt asked my mother what they did, so rich. And he is really related to us, and he is too generous. I don't even dare to bring it, it's so distressing to lose it and break it."
In the previous life, no matter who seemed to have daydreamed that there were overseas relatives at home, in fact, there were also rich and poor, but in this era, compared with the Chinese people, their poor people are richer than us.
"Yes, Mom, I don't, we have such generous relatives in our family." My mother asked, sitting on the kang.
"Don't bring it if you don't dare to bring it, it's too ostentatious. I've never seen anyone in the county bring such a good watch. Grandma said with her experience.
"Yes, it's better to put it away and look at it every night." Auntie put the watch in the drawer and locked it, so she was relieved. Mom also put it away.
Grandma explained to her in detail the rhetoric she and Nannan had set up in advance, and told them not to talk nonsense when they went out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Grandma saw that her aunt was asleep, and her mother stopped asking questions, so she let out a sigh and finally fooled them.
Fang Monan returned to the living room and saw that there was an unopened box on the table, and when she opened it, she saw that it was all books and tapes. called Mom, and the two worked together to carry the box into the bedroom.
"What is this? It's so heavy. Mom looked at the box and asked, and Grandma also came out of the bedroom and looked curiously.
"It's not all books" Fang Monan took the books out of the box, the whole set of "Encyclopedia Britannica", "Oxford English-Chinese Dictionary", "National Geographic", "Capital" and some English books on finance, as well as the latest papers and magazines on machinery and electronics. 'Hehe......' she couldn't understand these things, so she brought them, and she threw them into the box.
"There are so many books, you can understand them all." The mother looked at her and said like a treasure, raising her eyebrows, she was not as strong as her daughter's foreign language skills.
"Ah Grandpa Lin taught, of course I can understand it, otherwise I bought ......" Fang Monan almost said to buy it, "Otherwise I can read it" It's so dangerous, my mother has to pay attention to it after she lives at home now.
"This me is the English that your aunt has been listening to all day long, English tapes." Grandma took out the tape and said.
The cover of the tape is painted with a violin, Fang Mo Nandao This is for Xiaobei, it should be a famous song. ”
After Fang Mobei, he practiced listening every day, and even poured a blank tape recording for a short time to listen to the effect until it was exactly the same as the original.
"Nannan, you first put a 'curse' on your aunt and your mother" Grandma didn't forget to plug in the door, it was still not safe, "Let's enter the space"
Entering the space, he came to the study, "Nannan, you tell me the truth first, how profitable your drawings are." ”
Although grandma didn't know the goods, she could see that the gift was worth a lot, and she held the white jade Guanyin dangling in front of her eyes, "This jade is warm and moist, and it seems to be worse than the one in the space." ”
Fang Menan estimated that they believed in Guanyin Bodhisattva from Liang Zi's grandmother, generally speaking, 'men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha', but grandma is not so particular.
"You can wear it with confidence, and I will honor you." Fang Monan walked, put it around her neck, and put it in her clothes.
"Don't interrupt, haven't answered my question yet?" Grandma said anxiously.
"I really want to." Fang Monan sat on the circle chair and looked at her sitting on the chaise longue.
"Don't confuse me, say it quickly."
"Here's for you." Fang Menan handed her the two passbooks.
Grandma opened the passbook suspiciously and gave her the passbook, but was stunned by the numbers on the passbook. She counted carefully twice before and after, and the two passbooks were both 'one million', "Nannan, where did you get so much money, the account is still in your name." ”
"They gave it." She said simply, in fact, there is one she didn't say, the deposit is in US dollars, and the other is RMB. Grandma didn't ask.
"For? The paintings you draw are worth so much. "Grandma intuitively thinks that she has to draw beautiful clothes to earn it." That painting is too valuable."
When Fang Monan heard her grandmother's words, she didn't explain, she just thought about it
"It's better for you to take it, or I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night, and I'm afraid of attracting thieves." She was still not used to seeing such a large passbook all at once.
"Well, I just wanted to tell you, share it." Fang Monan just shared her good mood personally, she saw a passbook from HSBC in Hong Kong, and smiled, she didn't have a chance to take this one, but fortunately, the other one was from the Bank of China.
Since they were all spread out, my grandmother simply asked about the feed factory, and I was involved. Liangzi's store is not related to you too. "Grandma is not stupid, as soon as she heard Liang Zi's words, she understood as soon as she thought about it, whether she would be from Liang Zi's family.
"Uh-huh, it's about me." Fang Mo Nancheng nodded in acknowledgement.
"Alright, I'm done. Nannan, tell your parents about these things. After listening to her words, Grandma pondered and asked.
"This, I haven't thought about telling them yet, let's wait" Fang Menan always felt that her parents were still lacking in this way, and she couldn't say it.
"It's okay to wait, if you let your grandfather and grandmother there, I don't know if there will be chaos. Wait until their hearts are all settled. Grandma thought for a while and said.
Fang Monan nodded and didn't say. At this time, she remembered that there was a story about a miner who suddenly won the jackpot of five million, and since then his life has changed radically, buying a house, buying a car, investing, and living a life of spending a lot of money. As a result, within a few years, the investment failed, a large debt was owed, the relationship between relatives deteriorated, and once he got drunk because of depression, had a car accident, and the person became disabled. Lying in bed, he often said that he was, why should I win those five million? If I hadn't won five million, what a better life would have been
Therefore, it takes three generations to cultivate a nobleman. There is a lot of truth in that. In the face of the sudden arrival of good luck, life has undergone great changes, and a huge contrast has been formed, and not everyone is blessed.
So, just have enough money to spend; The house is enough to live in; As long as the car can be driven; Just say it; The relationship with the leader is generally fine; Harmony between colleagues is fine; Just eat your fill......
The most important thing is to accumulate virtues, not to get carried away, to be arrogant, to have an inflated sense of self, these are all things that everyone should be reminded of from time to time. My father and mother still don't have a deep life background like my grandmother, although they are much more educated than my grandmother.
Soon they quickly verified their grandmother's words, and their in-laws did not disappoint them.
"Alright, I'm done, send me out." Grandma said.
Fang Monan came out with her and had no dreams all night.
