Chapter 50 Chinese New Year Red Envelopes
After openly and honestly confessing the shipwreck to their family, the parents finally knew that the money their son used to buy the homestead in the old village was only a small part of his wealth, so they didn't feel so distressed, after all, the money was also for the village.
Just looking at the antique dishes that disappeared from the cupboard the next day, Xu Haibao knew that his parents still couldn't do it, and they were as calm as him. Eating with expensive 'antique' meals every day, parents must be scared to eat!
After spending a little Chinese New Year's Eve with his parents in the village, Xu Haibao decided to take his sister back to the city the next day. The main thing to do when I returned to the city this time was to send some of the wild groupers that I kept at home to Chen Xingcheng's restaurant.
Even if he doesn't expect to make money by selling these fish, in Xu Haibao's opinion, sending fish to Donghua Restaurant is not more for making money, but for the friendship between the two families. By the end of the year, the demand for high-end seafood was very strong.
Looking at the eight large foam boxes loaded onto the boat, the third uncle who was in charge of driving the boat also sighed and said: "Your kid's luck is really enviable! There are so many wild big groupers, if you want the fishmongers in the town to know, I'm afraid you will break your head!"
"Third uncle, I told you a long time ago that my luck has always been very good! This time I will stay in the city for two nights, and then I will pick up the starfish by the way. When the time comes, remember to pick us up from town!"
"Okay, remember to call in advance before you come back, and I'll pick you up in town then!"
Even if his son works in Donghai City, the annual leave will not be released until after the new year. In contrast, Xu Licheng was a little envious of his nephew who had just been discharged from the army. I don't want to work in the city, so I plan to stay in the village and start my own business.
In this case, if you want to go back to the village, you can go back to the village, if you want to go to the city, you can go to the city, and if you want to meet your parents for a meal, it is convenient!
On the way back to Baohai by ferry, Xu Haibao looked at Xu Qingya, who was bored, and said with a smile: "Girl, when I make money after the New Year, how about I buy a yacht?
"Wouldn't it be too high-profile to buy a yacht? Didn't you say to keep a low profile?"
In Xu Qingya's opinion, after knowing the price of those ancient porcelains, she already believed that Xu Haibao had the money to buy a yacht. But the problem is that if you buy a yacht privately, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. This is inconsistent with Xu Haibao's so-called low-key style!
In response to Xu Qingya's inquiry, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "It's okay! When I go to Xiangjiang after the New Year and get the money from the auction, I plan to register a company in Xiangjiang that specializes in island development and tourism."
In the name of Heung Kong Head Office, a subsidiary was registered in Laishi. As for the yacht purchased, it was the means of transport allocated by the head office to the subsidiary. Occasionally, if you have guests on the island, our yacht can also act as a façade!
The most important thing is that if we have such a yacht, I believe that the city will pay more attention to it, and feel that the subsidiary we have opened is a company with financial strength. With the head office of Xiangjiang as a background, you can also avoid some unnecessary troubles. ”
In Xu Haibao's vision, he will go to Xiangjiang next year to send the auction, and he already has plans to apply for investment immigration. From the Xiangjiang side, recruit professional professional managers to take care of the work related to the development of the island.
As for him, the boss behind the scenes, he only needs to provide the corresponding funds and make suggestions behind the scenes. In doing so, it will also avoid gossip in the village. After all, some people are prone to pink eye these days!
Arriving at the Baohai City Ferry Terminal, Chen Xingcheng, who came to pick up the boat again, undoubtedly seemed very happy. After receiving Xu Haibao's call earlier, Chen Xingcheng also knew that the good things he and his father had been looking forward to finally had the opportunity to be brought to the table again.
The six large groupers sent by Xu Haibao last time were praised by the diners who had booked in advance after eating them. Even if the price of the reservation is a bit expensive, for many diners, they feel that the money is well spent!
As soon as the ferry stopped at the pier, Xu Xingcheng, who was staying at the pier, rushed to the ferry with a smile. Looking at the eight large foam boxes under the feet of the brother and sister, Chen Xingcheng said with excitement on his face: "Brother Bao, these are your gains during this time?"
"Yes, don't be stunned, let's move it quickly! Two boxes per person, put things in the car first!"
Although a box contains two fish and some water, the portion is not too heavy. Even if Xu Qingya is a girl, if she really wants to help move, she can move boxes and boxes.
But this kind of physical work, Xu Haibao and Chen Xingcheng will not let Xu Qingya help. Let Xu Qingya stay to see the remaining foam boxes, and the two of them stuffed all eight foam boxes into the trunk back and forth.
In order to avoid the situation like the previous time, this time Chen Xingcheng deliberately waited for the diners in the restaurant to leave, and then brought Xu Haibao and his two siblings to the restaurant. Chen Donghua, who had been waiting for a long time, was also happy to see those foam boxes.
Chen Donghua, who stepped forward with a smile, looked at Xu Haibao, who was about to move the box, and immediately said: "Haibao, let the clerk move!
"Uncle Hua, what a great gift is this! However, with these fish, I believe your restaurant will be lively again!"
In the past few days, there are many companies and units that book Chinese New Year's Eve dinners. With these good things you brought, I believe that the company that comes to the restaurant to book will probably also grab the head. Here's the same as the previous one?"
"Well, like the previous time, I caught it in the village. It's just that after this fishing, it is estimated that there is not much left in that place. Next time Uncle Hua wants this kind of good goods, it probably depends on luck. ”
"It's okay! If there is such a harvest every day, I'm afraid I'm going to be red-eyed!"
When the foam boxes were quickly moved into the restaurant, I looked at the open boxes one by one, and they contained two plastic bags as before. In each bag, there is still a live grouper.
Judging from the color of these fish, Chen Donghua knew that these were all excellent wild large groupers. Although grouper is heavier and larger, for restaurants, this kind of grouper of about 10 catties is the most suitable weight for cooking.
As each fish was brought out and weighed, it was quickly thrown into the restaurant's fish tank. Looking at these groupers moving quickly in the fish box, no matter how stupid people are, they know that such live fish are the most popular among diners.
It's just that Xu Haibao was a little surprised that after weighing the four fish, Chen Donghua also said directly: "After the remaining fish are weighed, they will be put into the fish transport truck immediately." Wait for someone to send the fish to the other four branches as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, boss!"
For Chen Donghua, the weight of the sixteen large groupers sent by Xu Haibao this time does not seem to be much different. Four were left at the head office to sound the sign, and the remaining twelve were distributed to the remaining four branches.
In this way, it can also maximize the popularity of the restaurant. At the end of the year, when the restaurant's business was at its hottest, these sixteen live wild groupers should be able to attract a lot of business to the restaurant.
If you sell it separately at the head office, it will make the business of the head office more prosperous. As the chairman of Donghua Restaurant, Chen Donghua also has to take care of the business of the rest of the branches. After all, his restaurant is a chain!
Xu Haibao earned 10,000 yuan for the six fish last time, and Chen Donghua also gave a high price for the sixteen big groupers brought this time. In the end, after some discussion, Xu Haibao only accepted Chen Donghua's 40,000 yuan.
Seeing that Chen Donghua wanted to give more, Xu Haibao also said in a timely manner: "Uncle Hua, I know you have good intentions." The unit price you give is already very high, and if you give more money, it will seem that I am too greedy.
Last time you gave an extra thousand, I didn't say anything. But this time, you still do as I say. Next time there is such a good product, as long as I can stay, I will definitely keep it for you. How about this checkout as I said?"
Seeing that Xu Haibao was very persistent, although Chen Donghua was a little surprised, he also said with appreciation: "Okay, then do as you say! This money will give you cash, or transfer?"
"Let's transfer the money! Xiaoya, give your bank account to Uncle Hua, the money from selling fish this time can be regarded as a red envelope for you for the New Year!"
As soon as she heard this, Xu Qingya immediately said in surprise: "Brother, really! Give me all the 40,000 yuan New Year's red envelopes?"
"Don't want it or don't dare to ask for it? If you don't, then I didn't say it!"
"No! You have already said, I want this red envelope! Uncle Hua, give it, this is my bank card!"
Looking at Xu Qingya, who opened her wallet very quickly, she quickly found the bank card that she often withdraws money from school and handed it over. Chen Donghua also smiled and said, "Your brother really loves you!"
"Hey, hey! Yes, Uncle Hua, in fact, this fish also has my share of credit. When I'm fishing, I'm with my brother!"
"Okay, I'll let the finance transfer it to you right away!"
asked the finance of the restaurant to take the card away, and quickly transferred 40,000 yuan to Xu Qingya's bank card. Looking at the arrival text message prompted by the mobile phone, Xu Qingya also looked very happy. For her, she is finally afraid of running out of money to go back to school next year.
In fact, for Xu Qingya, being frugal in the past was more about not wanting to increase the burden on her parents. But now that she knows that her brother is really not bad for money, Xu Qingya feels that when she returns to school after the New Year, the first thing she will do is to invite her roommate to dinner.
After all, during her year and a half in college, her roommates often invited her to dinner. Sometimes because of affection and persistence, Xu Qingya is not easy to refuse. If you eat someone else's, you should have a meal back!
