Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Great New Year
Investment is risky and decisions should be made carefully.
This is a familiar clichΓ©, but the world has changed, and the tricks of the liars are endless, advancing with the times, so that even many experienced old rivers and lakes will be fooled if they are not careful.
Today's peaceful and prosperous times, all industries are thriving, the capital market is developed, all kinds of investment companies, venture funds, financial institutions emerge in endlessly, the preparation of plans, entrepreneurial stories are more wonderful than a beautiful, brilliant and attractive prospects, as if as long as you are willing to invest money in, you can bring back rich returns, full pockets, marry Bai Fumei, and embark on the pinnacle of life.
Of course, their targets are those who are rich, needless to say that Su Xinlan, a famous celebrity on the Forbes rich list, even Xiao Yulan herself, when her bank deposit exceeds 500,000, she receives financial text messages from the bank on her mobile phone from time to time, as well as some private equity funds.
After her deposit reached 5 million, there were more and more text messages like this, and various investment and financial management plans were almost forced to break her head, and occasionally strange phone calls would come over, which made her so annoyed that she simply blocked everything.
There is no doubt that most of these various plans, PPT and the like are deceptive, even if they are genuine, there is also a profit risk.
That's why Xiao Yulan is not interested in these things, if you want to talk about investment and financial management, she herself is now, her mother also has several wealth management companies under her name, there are many suitable choices, and what are the financial products of those institutions rare?
Su Xinlan pressed the secret button on the side of the seat, and a few seconds later, the assistant came in with a second reservation.
Five minutes later, the guy was also "invited" out, and then the next one.
It didn't take long, and there were eleven guests before and after, and seven of them were fools. Among the remaining four, there are three people who have good intentions, but unfortunately the investment plans they come up with are flashy and not very operable; Only the last person's plan is relatively reliable, but it still does not meet Su Xinlan's expectations, so he can't give the other party a satisfactory answer.
"Lan Lan, where did you learn this skill?"
Seeing off the last guest, Su Xinlan glanced at her daughter and asked.
"Would you believe me if I said I was self-taught?"
Xiao Yulan blinked her black and white beautiful eyes, looked at her mother with a sincere face and said.
Su Xinlan lightly knocked on the door of her head with a chestnut burst: "Only by believing in you can you have a ghost." β
After a pause, she said with a straight face: "Unless you have to, don't let others know that you have this ability, otherwise it will bring a lot of trouble." β
"Hmm."
Xiao Yulan nodded, this is indeed true, of course my mother is trustworthy, but others are not necessarily. To some extent, the lethality of this hypnotism is even more terrifying than that of the master of national arts, so it is better to keep it secret as much as possible.
Two days later, it was the Lunar New Year.
In an international metropolis like Binhai, there is not much difference between the Chinese New Year and ordinary times, and in the world of high-speed development of modern society and reinforced concrete forests, the traditional festival elements have been gradually diluted.
The pace of life is too fast, the pressure of responsibility is too heavy, and the gathering of relatives and friends is nothing more than a meal, chatting for a while, and then running around for their respective families, the festive atmosphere and feeling of the past are difficult to have again.
On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, Xiao Yulan drove Qi Mengxuan's sister and brother to the airport, and they were going to return to the imperial capital to celebrate the New Year with their families.
The Xiao family sent a message to Su Xinlan, inviting her to take her daughter to the imperial capital for the New Year, of course, this is just a superficial etiquette, just take a look, if you really come to the door, it is relatively inevitable to be cold-faced by the Xiao family.
At this time, it is inevitable that Xiao Yulan will have some resentment about his father's perception, although he was forced to do it back then, and his mother also understands his difficulties. But in Xiao Yulan's view, after all, there is a lack of responsibility.
As a man, he can't even protect his wife and daughter, and it's hard to excuse himself for any reason.
She once wondered if she would learn from those rebellious bear children in the second secondary school when she saw her father in the future, and slap him hard, so as to vent her anger. It's just that considering my mother's feelings, I still couldn't make up my mind after all.
She asked secretly, "You say...... What kind of conditions are needed to completely destroy a wealthy family? β
The reason why a wealthy family is called a wealthy family is, of course, not only in terms of wealth, but also in terms of historical heritage, power resources, prestige, status and influence in the upper circles.
If you want to take down an opponent of this level, the energy required is naturally extraordinary, and it is by no means something that ordinary consortia or companies can do.
The system responded: "It depends on how you define the definition of 'destroy', the physical erasure of the members of the lineage is one, the deprivation of the other party's status and wealth is another, and the elimination of the other party's potential power and influence is also another, different methods require different means, and the requirements for resources and power are very high, at least with the resources that your mother now controls, it can't be done." β
"And in such a process, it will inevitably affect your father's interests, if he intervenes to stop it, what are you going to do?"
This is indeed a fact, after all, Dad is the next generation at the helm of the Xiao family, she wants to destroy the Xiao family, Dad is afraid that the first one will not agree.
If she ignores her father's feelings, her mother won't be able to pass that hurdle, and how to choose will make her a little embarrassed.
Xiao Yulan said unhappily: "Is it just like that?" β
The system said: "If you are willing to give up the kind of revenge that has too much impact, as long as you get rid of the mother and son who should not have appeared, and let your mother restore her rightful status, it is not particularly difficult." However, the consequence of this is that you will have to face the retaliation of another giant, so it is still not easy. β
The reason why the mother and son were able to squeeze out Su Xinlan was because of the support of their mother's forces, so for Xiao Yulan, the outcome of the matter was not much different. If one is not careful, maybe she will attract the joint suppression of two wealthy families.
"That's it. It seems that this matter is urgent,"
Xiao Yulan sighed, his strength is limited now, and he is too far from the standard of overturning a wealthy family, so he can only choose to lie dormant for the time being, accumulating strength and slowly trying to figure it out.
A few days later, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Most of Su Xinlan's side has gone home for the New Year on vacation, so she ordered a table for a New Year's dinner at the Nebula Burj Al Arab, and then invited her second uncle's family and a few familiar relatives to come over for dinner.
Of course, the second uncle Xiao Yunhe is also a member of the Xiao family, but he belongs to the side branch, or the kind that is relatively far away, not Xiao Yulan's own uncle, and his status as a descendant disciple of Daddy Zhengmiaohong is incomparable.
Because he was very close to his father when he was young, the relationship has always been close, and his business is thriving, because of his father's secret care over the years.
Xiao Yunhe also has two younger sisters, named Xiao Yunyan and Concubine Xiao Yun, and a younger brother, named Xiao Yunfeng, both of whom have started a family, and with their respective children, they are also a big family.
At noon, everyone arrived on time, met in the hotel lobby, and headed to the booked large private room.
"Lan Lan is getting more and more beautiful."
Aunt Xiao Yunyan smiled and said, everyone thought it was true, although Xiao Yulan has been a beauty since she was a child, but after entering high school, she has indeed become more and more brilliant, coupled with good academic performance and a wealthy family, she is a well-deserved first among the children of each family.
"Sister Lan, give it a hug."
A slightly chubby, half-grown boy leaned over to Xiao Yulan's side with a wicked smile, and stretched out his hand to rub against her towering chest.
"Peng Tao?!"
The second uncle scolded unhappily, this is the child of the sister-in-law Xiao Yunfei's family, thirteen years old this year, because of the excessive doting since childhood, it is inevitable that he will be contaminated with the habit of bear children.
The kid was a little afraid, and pursed his lips and didn't dare to continue to be bad.
"Hey, the child is just playing, and if it's the New Year, forget it."
Sister-in-law Xiao Yunfei hurriedly said, and her uncle Peng Xiangyun just shook his head, in addition to a headache for this bear child.
Xiao Yulan glanced at him, thinking that today was the day of the New Year, and he didn't say anything after all.
