"That young lady of the Wu family seems to be very concerned about you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" In her free time, Sara whispered in Chen Hong's ear.

"Oh? Is it? Chen Hong's face was a little feverish again, "I really didn't pay attention to her." ”

"Her eyes have been staring at you." Sara blinked, "I found out a long time ago." ”

"I'm afraid there are a lot of people staring at us." Chen Hong smiled as if he was concealed.

"Why did she marry a distant family member of the Wu family, do you know the reason?" Sara seemed to inadvertently glance at Xie Ruihan, who was looking at their husband and wife from afar, from the corner of her eye, and asked.

"There are few men in the main house of the Wu family, and they are young, they can't afford the door, and the role of adult men in the distant family is evident at this time, and the Xie family wants to borrow the strength of the Wu family, so they climb this family with the Wu family." Chen Hong remembered the past, and his voice seemed a little unnatural, "The situation is similar to when my mother married from the Pan family, but now the situation of the Wu family is better, and it is not like the Pan family had no male at that time, except for climbing relatives with other families, there is no other way to go." ”

"That's right." Sara remembered the "Amslow's youngest son" mentioned by her father when he met her, and let out a soft sigh, "This is somewhat similar to my family's family in Germany, Grandpa Amslow has no sons, so he has to support some young people to help him, and now the family business in Germany is managed by his stepson Meyerkar." ”

"None of them are as lucky as we are." Since Chen Hong saw Xie Ruihan's husband Wu Xiande, he knew that she was definitely not doing well now, and when he thought of Sarah's love for himself like this, his heart was full of warmth.

Of course, there is also a hint of guilt.

Sara understood Chen Hong's intentions, smiled softly at him, and the hand holding his arm slowly slid down, interlacing the five fingers of his hand and clasping them together.

The banquet lasted all day, and it was not until the evening that the guests took their leave.

Watching the guests leave, Chen Hong couldn't help but exhale softly.

"Aren't you tired?" Sara asked with concern as she noticed the tiredness in his eyes.

"We have an ancient saying in China, which says, 'If you want to have no leisure for a day, invite guests to dinner', and today it seems that this is indeed the case." Chen Hong replied with a smile.

"What if you don't have a year to spare?" Sara asked, smiling.

"If you want to be idle for a year, tear down the house and rebuild." Chen Hong replied with a smile.

"What if you don't want to be idle for the rest of your life?" Sara asked with a smile.

"If you want to be idle for the rest of your life, marry your aunt's wife......" As soon as Chen Hong said it, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately reached out to cover his mouth.

Sara smiled and hugged him.

"Tell me, do you really want to be idle for the rest of your life, huh? ......" she asked with a smile, biting his ear gently.

Chen Hong made her smile a little embarrassed, and her face was red for a while.

"Wei'er grabbed the rouge box, and you blushed as much as you do now. Tell me, why? Is it that when you were a child, when you caught Zhou, the first thing you caught was also a rouge box? ”

Chen Hong didn't know how to answer her for a while, because the first thing he grabbed when he grabbed Zhou when he was a child was indeed a rouge box, the same as his son Chen Wei. At this moment, he saw his father-in-law Nathan coming over from a distance, and hurriedly pinched Sarah's arm gently, Sara understood, calmly took out of his arms, and cut his hair.

"What are you talking about, so happy? Can you let me know? Nathan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart when he saw that his daughter and son-in-law's feelings were so sweet.

"Hong and I are discussing how to keep our lives busy." Sara replied with a smile.

"Hehe, if it were me, I would think about how I could make my life leisurely and make more money." Nathan listened to his daughter's answer and laughed.

Listening to Nathan's words, Chen Hong couldn't help but nod his head again and again.

"Come on, kids, I want to talk to you." Nathan said, "Invite my esteemed in-laws, my grandson's grandfather, to come too, and I need his wise insights." ”

"I'm going to ask my father to come over."

After a while, in the living room on the second floor of the castle, Chen Tingxuan's father and son and Nathan's father and daughter sat around and talked easily.

“…… As I approached the estate along the driveway, the first thing that caught my eye was a rustic manor...... Smoke curled up from the numerous chimneys. The design of the estate is not deliberately opulent, nor is it overly solemn. It was a rather ordinary dwelling, like a place where a long-distance traveler longed to be able to go in and rest. I thought at the time, inside the walls, there must be a lot of warmth...... Your parlor is elegantly decorated, typical of a Friends House. The restaurant is not very big, but it is not small either, and there is no gloomy feeling at all, which does not make people feel oppressive. Nathan praised Chen Tingxuan's estate, he could not speak Chinese, so he spoke English, although Chen Tingxuan understood English, but in order to facilitate the communication between the two old men, Sara still acted as a translator for her father-in-law, and translated her father's words into Chinese fluently.

"I really feel at home here, and I can see that the family living here is very harmonious." "At my estate, when I get together with my relatives, they all seem happy. Our friendship with our friends is very close, and we often invite everyone to our own dinners. ”

Chen Tingxuan listened to Nathan's narration with interest, and he could see that Nathan was actually not as unapproachable as the outside world legend.

"Your banquet was a success and we are all very happy for you. I saw Sir Tennison-Daincott, Bishop Brandt, Dr. Becker, Mr. Charleston, and Mr. Megale also at the banquet, with whom I had dinner a month earlier. He was very simple, and although he had little education, he was very intelligent and a genius in business. He had beautifully dismissed Mr. Meigel several times. At that time, Meigel was also having dinner with us, and during the meal, he kept praising French things. Hehe. ”

"I remember the day when he spoke fiery about the brutality of the war and the massive number of casualties it caused." Nathan smiled at Chen Tingxuan and said, "He said, Mr. Meijer, if those people hadn't died in the war, you might still be just an ordinary drummer by now." At the time, Meigel's face was very embarrassed, if only you could see it. He laughed.

Nathan goes on to recount his early business years: "We had just started doing business in Frankfurt and there wasn't enough space in that city for us. I deal in British goods. We got acquainted with a very good businessman who had his own business. He was a very enthusiastic guy and always gave us some concessions when he sold us something. But, for some reason, I offended him, and he refused to show me his samples. It was a Tuesday and I said to my father that I was going to England. But I only speak German, not any English. On Thursday, I left. Because I think that the sooner you start, the lower the price of the product. When I arrived in Manchester, I spent all my money on the goods because things were so cheap. As a result, I made a lot of money. I soon discovered that commodity profits are actually made up of three parts: raw materials, dyes, and the manufacturing process. Then, I said to the manufacturer, I can provide you with raw materials and dyes, and you produce finished products for me. In this way, my channels of making money are no longer one, but three. And the products I sell are sold at a lower price than anyone else. Soon, my assets went from 10,000 to 30,000. All my success stems from one credo. That is, I think I can do what others can do, so I can be their opponent when it comes to producing different products, on an equal footing with everybody! Plus, I have the advantage that I'm not a person who follows the rules. I always think about the cost and bargain with my opponent. When I settled in London, I received news that the East India Company was going to sell 6,000 pounds of gold. So I went to the sales site and bought them all. Because I know the government will definitely buy it too. As a result, the government sent people to tell me that they wanted to buy it. However, after they bought it, they didn't know how to ship it to Portugal. So I took care of all the shipping and got it out through France. This is my most successful trade. ”

After listening to Nathan's story, Chen Tingxuan recalled his hard work in the UK in his early years, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Your success has not come easily, and I can deeply understand it."

"Another credo that our family lives by is that we will never do business in an unlucky place, never deal with unlucky people. My father said to me more than once: 'I have seen a lot of smart people who are very, very smart, but they don't make any money. I never do business with them because I think there is something wrong with their behavior and that like them, you can't get rich. If they are very inappropriate with themselves, how can they be good to me? 'Underpinned by these creeds, my father made £3 million...... 'Nathan said with a laugh', 'Someone said to me: 'I hope your children don't love money too much, don't get too keen on business and don't care about many other important things.' I don't think you want your kids to love money too much, do you? I replied: 'I think I would like the children to do that.' I want them to put their mind, soul, energy, body, and all that stuff into business, because that's the way to happiness. It takes a lot of courage to do business, and you need to be very cautious if you want to get rich. Once you have wealth, you need to come up with ten times more wisdom to keep them. If I hadn't had my own opinions, and if I had accepted the advice given to me by others without any principles, I would have been bankrupt a long time ago. ”
