Chapter 123 The year is difficult
The most active children are Xiao Dongping's eldest son, Xiao Donglin's daughter, and Yi Zhonghai's son, this little guy is drooling and desperately stuffing carrot balls into his mouth.
"Three masters, can I still come and ask for it when I'm finished eating?" The five-year-old kid asked innocently.
"Yes, if the uncle is not at home, he will ask your three mothers for it, the stinky boy can talk better than your father when he was a child!" Xiao Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't say that he didn't have it when he was an uncle!
"Third uncle, third uncle, and me!" The elementary school zodiac Lihua on the side is unwilling, and she can't forget me!
"Okay, the third uncle can't forget our Lihua girl, and I will ask your third aunt for it after eating." Xiao Yuan smiled and stroked her pigtails.
There were a few older children left, and they didn't dare to hear the words, but they didn't dare, their parents' eyes were too strict, and they were far from familiar with Xiao.
The two little nephews and Yi Shi are too young, the eldest is in his early two years old, and the youngest Yi Shi is less than two years old.
I answered a few phone calls, and I made a few phone calls, nothing else, all of them are New Year's greetings, this is also human nature, some are not familiar, it is not easy to come to the door, and the familiar ones have their own arrangements, and there is no need to go through the form.
At ten o'clock, Comrade Xiao Yuan was the same as last year, driving a truck back to his hometown, going back to visit his grandmother, and looking for an opportunity to secretly go to his parents' graves.
Back at the farm, the family has prepared a few tables of sumptuous lunches, everyone knows that they only have three days of vacation, at most one night to go back to the city, each has its own business, seize the time to get together.
Xiaojiagou is now not to mention the township, the entire county is also the envy of everyone, there is a big man, the whole village is fed, there is a house to live in, and the salary is not low.
Although it is said that every month, the salary is much lower than that of regular workers in the county, but people are full of food, and they also pay two months of salary bonuses during the New Year, and the average is almost the same, the key is that adults have it, and some families have four or five salaries, which adds up to a terrible thing!
Early the next morning, several men of the Xiao family all quietly entered the mountain, this time they didn't even bring Ding Qiunan, last year it was a special situation, because they were newly married for the first time to worship their parents, and this year they don't need it.
After breakfast, they were busy, a few cousins returned to the door with their wives and children, Xiao Yuan and his family sat on the home field, they didn't have to go to relatives, an aunt, and an uncle all lived in the farm.
All the relatives who went to the relatives, without exception, brought gifts mainly grain, it seems that the situation in the mountains is not very optimistic, originally difficult days, and encountered the New Year.
Chinese New Year, the festival of our Chinese nation, this belongs to the two extremes, the difficult life is really regarded as a difficulty, and the already difficult days are even worse.
For people with wealthy families and good living conditions, it is called the Spring Festival, happy and happy New Year, happy family reunion!
As the saying goes, go out on 369, Comrade Xiao Yuan also picked a good day, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he escaped to Xiangjiang, of course, directly to his Repulse Bay No. 1 mansion.
The result is a brand new Bentley sedan, the latest 59 S2, hailed as the most beautiful car, and when the new car was released in 1959, it was considered one of the most luxurious and innovative Saloons in the world.
At the time, many of the elements of the S2 were state-of-the-art. The lightweight 6.2-liter V8 engine replaces the six-cylinder engine used in the original S1, reducing weight by 13.6kg and increasing power by nearly 50%.
The groundbreaking L-Series engine proved to be a great success and was later used in Bentley's Arnage and Brooklands models. Even today, in flagship models like the Bentley Mulsanne, the engine used still has the shadow of the L series in it.
The new V8 engine makes Bentley's driving smoother and smoother. The power steering and fully automatic transmission in the car are also standard.
Not only that, but the air conditioning system has also been greatly improved and upgraded. It can be said that the Bentley S2 tal Flying Spur represents the ultimate luxury in 1959.
Xiao Yuan's car is more luxurious and advanced, after all, he is from a Shun family, how can he modify it, cover his ears and eyes, without him, he mainly wants to change the car, and the difference between the current and future generations is compared.
Not to mention anything else, just the driving position without a pillow is uncomfortable enough, let alone the passenger position, and the cervical spine is very uncomfortable after a long time.
The second is to reduce the weight of the car, which he is more professional, and, from the perspective of his later generations, the most luxurious car at present is basically not related to luxury.
Therefore, don't look at the appearance of the car, it has not changed much, in fact, some parts of the car have already been changed by him.
For the New Year, Xiao Yuan also prepared gifts, no matter how you say it, they are all big bosses, at least the profits are definitely wanted, the New Year, the start of work, the customs are like this.
Ten subordinates, including the housekeeper David Moyes, were given red envelopes, and each of them was the same 100 Hong Kong dollars, which was very fair.
The first thing to tell the housekeeper is to take the driver to give the car a license plate, the laws and regulations of this period are very unsound, not to mention any invoices and the like, the frame and engine number have also been changed in the morning.
The other one, since even the No. 1 mansion has been robbed, there is no reason not to grab the No. 1 license plate, this is also a representative, and it complements each other with his car.
Besides, where is the current tycoon busy working in Macau and Portugal, it can't be said that it is nothing, at least the gambling king Ye Han is currently his ceiling.
In fact, many people were later misled, thinking that He Gambling King was powerful from the beginning, and the king's domineering spirit was exposed, but in fact, this was all misled by movies and the like.
At least judging from the current situation, there are many people and forces that he cannot provoke, and the relationship between the local government is being carefully maintained and trying to lean on the top.
His behind-the-scenes boss is supporting him, both black and white are pushing him, and during this period, he is estimated in Macau and Portugal to not even rank in the top five.
Don't talk about others, let's talk about Sha Dantong, it's not something he can provoke at present, why will he become his major shareholder in the future, this old man is very hidden.
Many people only know that he is rich, but they don't know his power and status, if you think about it carefully, their family's gold is spread all over Macau, Portugal and Hong Kong, and those who make movies don't dare to say that they have been robbed!
Let's think about the two places that developed after the First World War, until the return, there were mixed fish and dragons, who heard that his industry was passive, or that his children and grandchildren were kidnapped?
You must know that his two sons are much more famous than the young master of the Li family, don't just watch movies, his eldest son is a loser in the real sense, and no one in Xiangjiang surpasses him.
Among the successors of the four wealthy families, who is more unlucky is none other than Sha Jiachun, who is the crystallization of the marriage between the king of silk and the daughter of a wealthy jewelry merchant.
In the 80s, he took over the management of the fourth largest real estate company in Hong Kong at that time, as well as the first jewelry group, becoming the youngest chaebol.
But he was young and frivolous, and he didn't know what the risk was, and he blindly acquired, and then suddenly encountered the 87 financial crisis. Hundreds of billions of debts weighed down the family business, and the turnover was ineffective and almost went bankrupt, and the helpless Sha Dantong could only make a comeback, give up his retirement life, and put on a coat again to save the stormy business.
Sha Dantong, who made a comeback for the second time, found out in despair that his two sons were all losers who had finished calves, so he could only learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, and took his grandson's idea to bring the eldest grandson of the second room with him from an early age.
Later, a lot of things happened, and the successor of their family was very bumpy, and after his illness was serious, he realized that only the eldest son and eldest grandson could inherit it, so that there would be no major problems.
Taking advantage of the current relaxation, Xiao Yuan did not go back to deliver food after staying in Xiangjiang for three days, but went directly to San Francisco.
The cooperation between him and Liang Jinhua is still relatively smooth, each takes what he needs, and the current power of Huahong Club is expanding rapidly, he also needs to remind them, don't get carried away.
His small manor is a trivial matter, none of them will care, the key is to talk about the expansion of power, the separation of black and white business, the blacker the blacker, the whiter it is, this is the real protection, the gray area is still very dangerous.
In the same way, people in the gray area are restricted by rules and regulations, and all aspects are like putting shackles on themselves, why bother, no matter how you wash it, you can't wash it clean, and you regard yourself as a good person, that is fatal!
