"It's the Somali pirates, and that's how it goes."

Many years directly confessed, and then made up a story.

He often travels to the Somali side and cleans up pirates on the other side a few times.

Suppressed by the Vikings in Northern Europe, the Somali region is still in chaos.

But the local warlords have begun to occupy the mountains and want to develop agriculture.

And has begun to plant dates, probably to develop the date economy.

After Sun Guohua listened, he only felt that it was a wild night.

"Are those pirates really willing to develop agriculture?"

Seeing Sun Guohua's puzzled expression, he spread his hands for many years and said:

"I don't know, I've been there a few times, this time I'm coming back from Paris, and when I pass through the Gulf of Aden, I happened to encounter this."

"I stayed in Somalia for a few days, visited a lot of places, and noticed a strange phenomenon."

"That's the Somali side, there are a lot of Chinese and whites, and there are no less than a few thousand Chinese people I know."

"Most of these Chinese worked near the warlords' homes and date palm plantations, some as cooks, bodyguards, and some as farmers."

Hearing this, Sun Guohua didn't know what to say.

In a place like Somalia, there are so many Chinese?

And that area, but the equator, if you want to develop an agricultural economy, where does the water come from?

Not to mention the fact that the sun is extremely strong, the weather is dry, and the locals are lazy.

In other words, the place was not suitable for agriculture at all.

Sun Guohua once again raised his doubts, and continued to spread his hands for many years to explain:

"Leader, I don't know the specific situation, but in the few days I was in the local area, I found that they were not short of water."

"I heard that one of them discovered the abundant groundwater resources and developed the qanats in a short period of time, and I don't know which genius gave them advice."

Qanats are a patent of Turpan in the interior, and only people in this area can use such methods for irrigated agriculture.

Other places simply do not have the favorable conditions of Turpan, which is why the qanats are so unique.

But now, when Sun Guohua heard that there was still a qanats in Somalia, he suddenly opened his mouth wide, and his expression was like seeing a ghost.

According to the current saying for many years, then this Somali region has really changed dramatically.

Date palm plantation bases, seedling hatchery bases, agricultural irrigation and planting, etc., these are all changes in Somalia in the last year or two.

With such a huge change, it should be said that Somalia is really about to change.

"No, how did I hear that the merchant ships over there are still being robbed?"

After hearing this for many years, he shook his head directly:

"Leader, as I said just now, there is still a lot of chaos on the Somali side."

"The whole Somali region is so big, and some warlords are still doing their jobs, which is normal, after all, there is not so much competition now"

"And I'm only one person, and I'm not very familiar with the situation over there, as long as the local pirates don't engage in the merchant ships of our China Resources Company anymore, then I'm too lazy to meddle in things."

Sun Guohua pondered for a long time, and finally said that he would mention this matter to the capital.

After all, the export of potash fertilizer is definitely not a trivial matter.

Although you can earn a lot of foreign exchange, no one can say whether you can do it.

After coming down from the office, I went to the kitchen many years ago.

"Lao Wang, why didn't you see my fourth brother?"

The old Wang in the kitchen, who has also known him for many years, said when he heard this:

"Your fourth brother resigned half a month ago, it seems that his wife is here, right?"

Hearing this, many years nodded, chatted with Lao Wang for a few words, and then left the tenement building.

Time flies by now.

It's June in the blink of an eye.

The Lou family has finally come to Hong Kong Island, and it is estimated that Lou Bancheng has begun to start a new business, right?

The business environment on Hong Kong Island is definitely far greater than that in Beijing.

Although there are many associations here, they need to pay protection fees to run restaurants and restaurants.

But it's still much stronger than in the capital.

On the side of the capital, Lou Bancheng is only a shareholder and cannot participate in the operation at all.

On the other hand, on Hong Kong Island, he can give full play to his business talents.

However, the Lou family came, and they were not in a hurry to see his fourth brother for many years.

Anyway, it's all on Hong Kong Island, and there will be a lot of opportunities and time in the future.

No. 72 Deep Water Bay, I drove to the door of my house for many years, but found that the courtyard was quite lively.

"Fifth Uncle is back!"

Xu Xiaoqian saw the car for many years for the first time, and also saw the license plate, and immediately cheered.

Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi ran as soon as they pulled their legs, and they all rushed to the door.

Even Xu Xiahao and Xu Pan'er and their two sisters also walked on their little short legs and ran together.

If there are many children, they like to join in the fun.

In addition, this yard is large enough and has a green lawn, so I am not afraid of falling when I run.

As for Xu Yilian, who was only six months old, she just stared at it with wide eyes, babbling baby language that everyone couldn't understand.

"Daddy!"

Seeing the children rushing over, I had to stop the car for many years.

As soon as he got out of the car, he was full of children, and even Xu Xia's two sisters wanted to hug him.

I haven't seen each other for three or four months, and my two nieces don't recognize each other.

Lou Xiao'e came over with Xu Yilian in her arms, and Qin Huairu, Xiaomei, Tan Fuying and others also stepped forward.

It was now more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the Lou family came here as guests, only Lou Bancheng and Xu Qianqian did not come.

After many years of asking, I learned that Lou Bancheng had really built a four-story building in Central and was being renovated.

Because Lou Bancheng did not have many people in his hands, and Xu Qianqian was his son-in-law.

A son-in-law is half a son, so Lou Bancheng brought Xu Qianqian with him, teaching by word and deed.

In this regard, I have been happy to see it for many years.

Anyway, this is a good thing, his fourth brother is doing well, better than anything else.

"By the way, fourth sister-in-law, when you set off, how did your parents go? Isn't there anything wrong with your body? ”

It's been almost four months since I left the capital in February, and of course I have to ask about the situation at home for many years.

"It's all good, it's fine, but"

Lou Xiao'e frowned for a moment, and then talked about the chaos in the capital.

For many years, of course, I knew what was going on, and I didn't ask much about it.

Anyway, he has already come to Hong Kong Island, and the affairs in the capital basically have nothing to do with him.

With his connections in the capital, as long as Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei have an accident, Zhao Junyao and they will definitely not stand idly by.

Maybe other people can't help, but Kang Daotong and Zhao Junyao can definitely help.

So, it's not a big problem.

On the side of the troops, they are isolated from the outside world, and even if there is anything, it will not be affected.

Since there's nothing going on in the capital, you can just live your own life.

At dinner in the evening, Lou Bancheng and Xu Qianqian also came back, and the two families got together to eat.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have eaten with Lou Bancheng in many years.

The latter greatly appreciated his status as a writer.

After all, it only took two or three months for many years to gain a foothold on Hong Kong Island, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Moreover, the social status is very high, and many citizens in Hong Kong are highly respected.

Although several books have been created over the years, two different pseudonyms have been used, which greatly distracts the fan cohesion.

But it doesn't matter, I didn't care about these things for many years.

At the dinner table, Qin Huairu proposed that Lou Xiao'e and Xu Qianqian could buy a house nearby.

"Fourth brother and sister-in-law, you see, how good the environment near our house is, you live here, get close, and take care of each other."

Regarding this point, Lou Xiao'e readily agreed, and Xu Qianqian naturally would not object, smirking and nodding.

For him, Hong Kong Island is too unfamiliar, and it would be great if he could live with his family for many years.

Nearby villas, the price should not be cheap.

But for the Lou family, this is not a problem.

The Lou family is very rich, and how much money they have, I don't know for many years.

"By the way, fourth sister-in-law, how much is the nearby house? How much did your family spend when they first bought it? ”

Since you are going to buy a house nearby, of course, you have to ask about the price.

At this time, the Lou family was still living in Central, which was an ordinary house, which was directly taken down by Lou Bancheng.

Lou Bancheng, who is used to living in villas, originally planned to buy a villa.

It's even better now, it's nice to buy a house directly near Deep Water Bay.

"It's not expensive, our family is a combination of two villas at No. 72 and No. 73, and the price of villa No. 73 is only 1.45 million Hong Kong dollars."

Qin Huairu is also well versed in the way of Versailles, and his tone is indifferent:

"I heard the child's father say that in the past year or two, housing prices on Hong Kong Island have been sluggish, and they will not rise in the next few years."

Hiss!

Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened, "One million four hundred and fifty thousand is not expensive?" ”

Xu Qianqian, Lou Bancheng and Tan Fuying were also surprised, especially the latter, who hurriedly looked at many years and said:

"Her fifth uncle, as a writer, is it really so profitable?"

Tan Fuying's mouth is naturally Xu Xia.

"It's okay, let's eat." Many years smiled, not revealing how much it was.

Xiaodoubao volunteered and had a direct showdown.

"My father's manuscript fee is 600 yuan for 1,000 words, and my father has now published more than 2 million words."

Hiss!

At this moment, Lou Bancheng and the others all dropped their jaws in shock.

Because this number is easy to calculate, even if it is calculated according to two million words, the amount reaches 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

And that's just the manuscript fee.

In the two months since I left Hong Kong Island, there have been many more toy models and beautiful posters of the Hulu Brothers on the market on Hong Kong Island.

There are many kinds of such toys, toys that are the size of ordinary adults or children, fist-sized pendant accessories, etc., can be said to be everything, and they are very exquisite.

The key is that the price is not very expensive, and the price of an ordinary snake spirit small pendant is only two nine Hong Kong dollars.

Even if it's a plush toy the size of a child, it's only twenty-nine dollars and nine cents, which is really not expensive.

However, the deluxe edition, the full set, etc., these are very expensive, and the degree of beauty and realism is even better.

Of course, these need to be booked in advance, and the price is two or three thousand yuan, and they are sold in limited quantities.

The exact limit is unknown.

In addition, the comic versions of the three parts of Xiaoao Jianghu, Lu Ding Ji and Ghost Blowing the Lantern will also be launched soon.

Therefore, Lou Bancheng and others really don't know how much money they have made over the years.

But you can roughly calculate it.

"Xiaomei, Xiaoqian, what about the books you wrote?"

Surprised, Lou Xiao'e suddenly looked at Xiaomei and Xiaoqian's aunt and nephew, and asked curiously.

The two shook their heads and modestly said that the gap was too far.

As a result, Bai Tofu directly sold her sister-in-law and eldest sister.

"Fourth aunt, don't listen to the nonsense of the sister-in-law and the eldest sister, the sister-in-law's manuscript fee is 150 yuan per thousand words, and the eldest sister's is 120 yuan per 1,000 words."

"They wrote separately, woo"

The latter words couldn't be said because she was covered by her sister-in-law.

"White tofu, you don't think your sister-in-law is ashamed enough, right? The price of 150 yuan for 1,000 words, are you embarrassed to say it? ”

Because Xiaomei really wanted to benchmark her brother, she could only get this price, and the difference was too big, so she was ashamed to say it.

Moreover, compared to her brother, who often started with a million words, she only wrote 300,000 words.

In other words, it took her half a year to write a book of 300,000 words, and she earned a total of 45,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Not to mention compared to her brother, even if it's a fraction, it's not as good.

So, she didn't want to talk about it.

Lou Xiao'e was surprised:

"Xiaomei, then you are really powerful, it seems that it is useful to read more, writing a book is more profitable than many people working for ten years."

The salary of ordinary white-collar workers on Hong Kong Island is two or three hundred yuan.

The annual salary is about 2,000 to 3,000, and it is only 20,000 or 30,000 in ten years.

Therefore, in half a year, Xiaomei has earned money that others can't earn for ten years, which is already very powerful.

But Xiaomei rolled her eyes and said helplessly:

"My brother said, let me hurry up and make money, and then buy a house and go out to live"

"But I don't want to live in those commercial houses, it's very good near here, but the housing prices near here are too expensive."

"According to my brother, before six or nine years, housing prices are not expected to rise, but it is not certain"

"So I don't have a lot of time left."

She made a lot of sense, but Duck Duck sighed, it didn't have to.

No matter how much the housing prices on Hong Kong Island rise, there will be a degree after all.

According to Xiaomei's current creative speed and money-making efficiency, it shouldn't be too difficult to earn 100,000 yuan a year.

Lou Xiao'e and the others didn't know what to say.

Earn 45,000 in half a year, but you still think you don't earn enough?

What a humility!

Sure enough, it is the environment that changes people, and this is not false at all.

Many years ago, seeing his sister blame herself, she couldn't help but speak:

"I don't mean to let you set up your own door right away, don't wronged me."

"And you're only one person now, it's useless to buy such a big villa, it's better to find me a brother-in-law, and have a few more children then."

"Also, if you want to make a lot of money, it's actually very simple."

Simple?

Lou Xiao'e, Xu Xiaoqian, Xiaomei, and Xu Qianqian looked at him speechlessly, making money is simple, that is, he can speak.

At this time, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but speak:

"For many years, apart from writing to make money, what other industries do you think can make money?"

For making money, Lou Bancheng is very interested.

He knows that he has been writing well for many years, but this is too talented for ordinary people to imitate.

What's more, Hong Kong Island is so big, there are millions of people, and there are many people who grasp the pen.

But few people can make as much money as they have for many years.

Even Jin Dada, who is quite famous, did not do it for many years when he was young, creating three books in a row in a short period of time, and the creation speed is very fast and the quality is very high.

Therefore, Lou Bancheng wants to know that it is easy to make money for many years, but what other industries are easier to make money.

Many years smiled and said:

"I guess everyone knows about my stake in the newspaper, right?"

When Lou Bancheng heard this, he nodded, "How many shares have you entered?" ”

The two newspapers, Zhongyong Daily and New Economic Daily, are very profitable, which is a very certain thing.

But even if it has been a shareholder for many years, it is estimated that it is only a small share.

"It's not a lot, that's about five percent, and make some pocket money."

After a pause, many years later:

"However, the Yaya toy factory that produces the Hulu Brothers is actually the one I invested in."

Hiss!

At this moment, Lou Bancheng was completely stunned.

Qin Huairu, Lou Xiao'e and others were even more surprised, what is the situation?

The owner of the toy factory that produced the gourd brothers was actually many years?

How is this possible?

Xiao Doubao's eyes widened suddenly, "Dad, is that toy factory really our factory?" ”

For these little kids, they don't know much about buying shares or something.

But they understood what their father said just now.

"Yes!" Many years smiled and touched the little brain, and then said:

"The toy factory is very profitable, but you have to have a good idea, so Xiaomei, if you can sell the copyright."

"When the comics become popular, you can also make money by selling peripheral toys, and you can sell toy copyrights and comic copyrights, so that if you write a book, you will not only earn from manuscript fees, but also these copyright fees."

Xiaomei and Xu Xiaoqian nodded again and again.

"Brother, can I sell you the rights to comics and toys?"

When Qin Huairu heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

After all, it was her man's factory, and the toy factory had only opened for a few months, so it certainly didn't make any money.

At this time, buying Xiaomei's copyright shouldn't make any money, right?

So Xiaomei asked this, isn't it the same as asking her for money?

Many years of great joy, saying:

"Your data is so bad, even if I am willing to pay for it, I don't think I will make much money."

"You'd better think about the next one, if you can't think of it, I can provide you with an outline"

As soon as these words came out, Xiaomei and Xu Xiaoqian said again and again that they wanted an outline.
