The next day, Ah Jiu's car trunk was stuffed with things and he was ready to go back to his hometown.

Zhang Yaohua's little sister is still preparing to give birth in Guangxi, and a house is being built in Guangxi's hometown, and she also needs someone to watch it. In short, as long as he doesn't go to sea, Ah Jiu has to go back to his hometown.

The three-month moratorium gave him just the right time.

"Alright, let's go back! Be careful on the road and have a nice trip. The mother stuffed another red envelope for her son-in-law.

Their custom here, in the new year, as soon as the son-in-law comes back to the house for the first time, he doesn't make zongzi when he goes back, he has to give red envelopes.

Of course, the old rule is that the red envelope will not be very large.

Although Zhang Yaohua's family is already very rich, there is still no change in the matter of giving red envelopes, and there is no specialization.

"Good! Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, then I'll go back first! ”

Seeing off Ah Jiu, Zhang Yaohua came to the uncle's house.

The uncle and the fourth brother have already gone to the farm, Ah Cheng is ready to go out for a walk, and the fourth sister and the fifth sister plan to go to work. The eldest sister and the second sister are also there.

The fourth sister asked, "Big brother, have you seen the car I sent you yesterday?" ”

"Look, I've already greeted someone, I'll send it over in the next two days, just wait to collect the car."

The fourth sister was very happy, and she also found that her eldest brother's ability now was really great, and she could do those things with a phone call. Is this the rich man's experience?

Zhang Yaohua glanced at the time and said to them: "It's not early!" Go to work! ”

Two cousins quarreled and went to work.

"Uncle!"

A little girl came galloping in, carrying a doll of a white rabbit in her hand.

This is the adopted daughter of the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, named Ding Yujia, and a son, one year older than the girl, named Ding Xiujie, who has been sent to kindergarten in the town.

The school bus comes to the village to pick up, and then sends it back every evening, and when it picks up, the adult must be present, otherwise the child is not allowed to get off the bus. This is also for the sake of children's safety, which is understandable.

Although there are no traffickers in their village, the children often run around like crazy after getting off the bus in case of danger. It will be unclear who will be responsible at that time.

When a child gets on the school bus and has an accident, the school is naturally responsible. But when the child returns to the village and is handed over to the parents, it is the responsibility of the parents if something happens.

"Hey! Is Jiajia well-behaved? Did you have breakfast? Zhang Yaohua picked up the niece.

The little girl's voice is very waxy.

"Well, Jiajia has eaten."

Zhang Yaohua smiled: "Hmm! That's good, wait a minute to play with Cousin Xuanxuan. ”

The eldest sister is cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

When they are here, the eldest aunt is relaxed, and there is basically no need to do housework. It's just that there are more children in the house, and sometimes it's a little noisy. But Yujia and Xiujie are okay, they don't cry much, and they are very sensible.

Everyone said that it was good for Sister Zhang Yaohua to adopt these two children.

"Brother, are you coming? We were talking about you just now! The second sister smiled.

"What do I have to talk about?" Zhang Yaohua sat on the sofa with the little girl in his arms.

The uncle's dog hurriedly leaned over to Zhang Yaohua's feet and begged to touch it, and when the child reached over, it dodged again. It can only be said that most children are dogs.

"You're going to buy land!"

The whole village was in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion last night.

The eldest sister also asked, "Ah Hua, do you really want so much land?" Hundreds of acres, how much does it cost to buy land alone? ”

The eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law both looked at it curiously.

This brother-in-law (eldest brother) is really powerful.

Especially the second brother-in-law Zhang Siming, who watched his brother-in-law go to college. At that time, his wife often proudly boasted that his eldest brother was the most powerful and promising person in their Zhang family.

But after graduating for so many years, I haven't heard of how good it is.

Since returning to my hometown last year, I have suddenly made a fortune and is out of control.

It's really hard to talk about what life has happened to.

When you think he has a future, he is unknown, and when you think he is ordinary, he suddenly bursts out to show you, making you feel strange and incomprehensible.

"It's not necessarily enough, we need to build an industrial park. It doesn't cost much to buy land, one or two million is enough. I'm here to talk to you about this.

If you're interested, you might as well do a workshop. Soon a jewelry company will come to talk to me, and when the time comes, I will pull the strings, and you can also cooperate, and it should not be a problem to earn millions a year. ”

While the industrial park has not yet started, join in, and those who eat the first bite of crabs will definitely make no losses.

The eldest brother-in-law and the others looked at each other, obviously tempted.

During this time, the two families also engaged in a small business together, and almost all the money borrowed from Zhang Yaohua was thrown in. If you withdraw at present, you will definitely not be able to return to your capital, and you will lose about one-third.

However, it is also a rare opportunity to hug the lap of a jewelry company.

The eldest sister spoke: "The things we did before, now we don't do it, and if we get out, we will lose at least a third, okay?" ”

Zhang Yaohua asked rhetorically: "Why don't you do it?" Since you have a prospect and can make money, keep doing it! Just make some time for some jewelry.

When the time comes, you must ask someone to do it, otherwise you will learn the technology yourself and do it yourself?

No need! ”

He knew what the eldest sister and the others were worried about, and then said: "The funds are taken from me first, and then the money is returned to me after earning, what does it matter?" ”

The eldest sister smiled bitterly: "I haven't paid you back what I borrowed last year, so I borrowed it again." You are not afraid, we are all afraid. ”

I'm afraid that I will lose money, and I can't pay it back.

You know, that's not a small amount, it's millions!

"Afraid of what? I don't know what kind of business you're engaged in, but jewelry processing is definitely profitable. The raw materials are started at a low price, and after processing, they are transferred to the jewelry company several times.

Don't be afraid to borrow money, as long as you are sure that you can make money and you can pay it back. Zhang Yaohua finally reassured.

Anyway, the raw materials are up to him.

The jewelry company will not lose money, and people will sell it several times, but make an easy profit.

In today's society, OEM processing is too normal. Even if it's a big brand, they don't do it themselves, they basically do the design and then let other processing factories help with the processing.

Otherwise, how can those big brands get through by relying on their own companies alone?

The machine can't produce it when it smokes!

The eldest brother-in-law and they looked at each other and made a decision.

Zhang Siming looked at his eldest brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, what do you say?" ”

"Do it! Ah Hua has helped this far. ”

Yes! The feeding is all to the mouth, and before you know how to open your mouth, you deserve to be starved to death.

"Then it's settled, you come to my house at noon." Zhang Yaohua said.

In three or four hours, the representative of the jewelry company should have arrived.

"Good! Ahwa, thank you! ”

It's really thanks to this brother-in-law that he has struggled for many years.

He has already discussed with Zhang Yaohua's eldest sister that he will go back when he has time to move his household registration here. In the future, the children will go to school here, and they will not go back to their hometown.

No way! Those relatives in my hometown are also a bit strange. It's better to have less contact!

Let them know that they have made a lot of money, that they have made a fortune, and that a bunch of people will come and borrow money. There will be a lot of trouble then, so borrow it! You may not be able to get it back, so don't borrow it! He also said that you forgot your roots, and so on.

In short, it's better to simply move out.

There are some fields, orchards, etc. in my hometown, and I will deal with them at a low price and let them take advantage of them in the end, so it doesn't matter.

That's pretty much it.

"Whatever you thank, it's all a family ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yaohua's mobile phone rang.

It was the village chief who called.

"Director, what's the matter?"

"Deputy Mayor Huang is here, where are you? Let's take a trip to the village committee! ”

For such a big matter, Deputy Mayor Huang will definitely come to ask about it in person. He didn't tell Mayor Ye about this news for the time being, so he hid it first.

We will announce it when it is finalized.

This investment project, he has already regarded as a ban.

"Good! Wait a minute, I'll be over here. ”

Seeing Zhang Yaohua hanging up the phone, knowing that he was going to be busy, the eldest sister said: "If you want to be busy, let's go and get busy first!" Your brother-in-law and Siming will come back to your house later. ”

Then, he detained his daughter Ding Yujia from Zhang Yaohua's arms.

Zhang Yaohua rubbed the little girl's head and went out.

As soon as I went out, the eldest aunt came down from the second floor.

"Isn't Ah Hua here?"

The second sister replied: "The village director told him to go out, just left." ”

Then, he chatted with his mother about what Zhang Yaohua told them just now.

"You are thanks to Ah Hua's help, you have to remember these things, don't ...... when you earn money in the future"

Before his mother finished speaking, the eldest brother-in-law took the lead and said, "Mom! We're not that kind of people, don't worry! ”

……

Zhang Yaohua came to the village committee, and before he entered, he heard the voice of Deputy Mayor Huang. It seems that he is talking about the adjustment of the salaries of the village cadres, and Deputy Mayor Huang has no objection, but hopes that the village committee will do a good job in the budget and not mess around.

Don't get a high salary this year, waste your money, and fall back next year, that's really funny.

"Mayor Huang, long time no see."

Seeing Zhang Yaohua, Deputy Mayor Huang's originally serious face suddenly smiled.

"Yaohua, you have gained a lot from going to sea this time! Come, sit here. ”

Zhang Yaohua smiled and nodded: "Hmm! It's ok indeed. ”

"What can I do? It's a bit of luck, okay? The undersea gem mines are all touched by you. A village cadre spoke.

Zhang Yaohua "corrected" and said: "It's not all found on this trip, but the luck is really good." ”

Don't explain it.

It's just luck anyway.

Almost all the villagers believed this statement.

"What kind of gem?" Someone asked.

The village chief glared at the guy.

Is this something that can be asked? Trade secrets, right?

Zhang Yaohua is not afraid of making it public, anyway, everyone doesn't know where it is, what if he says it's a diamond mine? Can anyone else go to the bottom of the sea and search?

"The closest one is an aquamarine mine, have you heard of it?"

Everyone present was a little embarrassed, except for Zhang Yaohua, no one had heard of aquamarine. Man! If you don't pay attention to that, there's nothing to say.

"Ahem! Is it worth the money? The guy asked again.

"It's okay! From a few hundred to a few thousand. ”

"A gram?"

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "No, gemstones are generally in carat units, and carat is small, 5 carats is equal to 1 gram." ”

The price of aquamarine rough is generally 800-5000 yuan/carat.

Among them, the price of aquamarine rough of average quality is between 800-1000 yuan; The price of slightly better quality aquamarine is between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan, the price of medium quality aquamarine is generally 2,000-4,000 yuan, and the price of high-quality aquamarine is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan.

Not to mention the top ones, it is difficult to measure them with common sense, and they are usually put on the auction table.

The village cadres were surprised.

Isn't that more expensive than gold?

Now gold is more than 400 yuan per gram.

In fact, gold has a high status in the hearts of ordinary people. There are so many things in this world that are worth more than gold.

Aquamarine, along with emerald, is a type of beryl, and legend has it that aquamarine is found at the bottom of the sea and is the essence of seawater.

Its color is like the sky after rain, and it is a pure and beautiful blue. This color brings a hint of spring, such as the beginning of spring, the melting of ice and snow on the earth, very dazzling. Crystal bright blue, the mineral feeling inside looks like half melted ice.

Brazil, Russia, Sri Lanka and other countries all have aquamarine production. The world's most famous aquamarine is found in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

This gemstone, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, flowed into China in large quantities.

In the Qing Dynasty, the most loved aquamarine was the ladies in the Qing Palace.

"So expensive?"

Zhang Yaohua smiled: "It's okay!" A lot of gemstones are more expensive than that. ”

As far as he knows, aquamarine quality is evaluated in terms of color, clarity, cut and weight.

The color is pure, no gray, no dichroism, and the color is the most valuable.

Some aquamarines with directional inclusions can be processed into a cat's eye effect or a star effect, with aquamarines with special optical effects being more expensive. For aquamarines of the same color, clarity and cut, the higher the carat weight, the higher the value.

"When you hear it, it's a gem from the bottom of the sea." Some village cadres also spoke.

After all, it's called aquamarine!

Produced from the bottom of the sea, that's normal.

"Very few gemstones are produced on the seabed, not that there are none, but gem mines on the seabed are more difficult to find and difficult to develop. Especially in ancient times, mining was simply not possible.

Aquamarine is also more often mined on land. Zhang Yaohua explained.

In ancient times, people found that the color of aquamarine was as blue as seawater, so they gave it the attribute of water, and believed that this beautiful gemstone must come from the bottom of the sea, which is the essence of seawater, and since then, aquamarine and "water" have an indissoluble bond.

It can only be said that in ancient times, there was a lack of cognition.

The most typical example is ambergris. The ancients thought that it was formed by the saliva of dragons, and it was not until modern times that it was discovered that it was something that could not be digested in the body of sperm whales.

In the West, aquamarine has long been used as a talisman because of its intimate association with water, especially for those who live at sea all year round, and believe that aquamarine can capture the soul of the ocean.

In medieval Europe, craftsmen would cut aquamarine into thin slices as needed and fix them in the sight holes of specific tools, so that the nobles could see farther away, the earliest telescopes.

Then, we talked about the industrial park.

Deputy Mayor Huang came down this time, mainly for this matter.
