I want to be emperor

Chapter 910
Shuangshan Village is just a small village with more than a hundred households. A millionaire like Song Erniu came out of such a small place... Well, although Song Erniu has not been back for so many years, Song Erniu is far away in North America I didn't come back, but a lot of money was sent back, and the letters I exchanged also told my parents about myself.

Song's father and Song's mother had such a promising son, so they couldn't help but say a few words to the surrounding neighbors.

As time goes by, everyone in the village basically knows that Song Erniu has made a fortune outside... Of course, they don't know exactly how rich Song Erniu is. It is not clear how rich his son is, after all, Song Erniu would not bluntly say how much he is worth in the letter.

Chu Yuan's net worth is in the millions. To be honest, this figure is too scary for ordinary people.

In this era where the monthly salary of ordinary workers is only three or four Chu Yuan, the income of so-called technical workers, low-level civil servants, and even low-level officials in the government only hovers between five Chu Yuan and ten Chu Yuan... millions of Chu Yuan. Yuan's net worth is very scary.

To be honest, Song Erniu was worried that if he told his parents the truth, he would scare them...

However, although no one knows how rich Song Erniu is, everyone knows the basic fact that Song Erniu made a fortune and had a lot of money.

Looking at the great changes in the Song family in recent years, we can see the signs.

A traditional Jiangnan style mansion was built, but the material is actually a modern reinforced concrete mansion. The building area of ​​the whole mansion alone has reached thousands of square meters. Even if this kind of manor is built in the countryside, the land and The labor is relatively low, but the cost of materials and so on is not low, at least a few thousand Chu Yuan can be repaired.

A large and luxurious house completely made people aware of the wealth of the Song family and the wealth of Song Erniu.

But now that Song Erniu is returning home with a high profile, the convoy of four carriages when he came back, together with the attendants of many people and four security personnel carrying pistols, let people realize once again the prosperity of Song Erniu's financial resources .

This price is less than a certain level... It is impossible to bring four security guards with guns all the way back to their hometown!
Even if it is a typical example of the traditional high society in the county, the scholarly family of the Chen family... the core members of the Chen family only bring one or two entourages with them when they go out, how can they bring a security ticket with a gun...

How should I put it, it's not about whether the law and order is good or not, it's about the lack of money...

A million-dollar worth has already broken away from the level of ordinary rich people...

So when the Song family's parents knew that Song Erniu said that his net worth was at least millions, they were speechless for a long time...

From the previous letter from Song Erniu, they knew that Song Erniu had made a lot of money doing canvas business outside... But they really didn't expect to have such money.

They also thought that Song Erniu might have tens of thousands of Chu Yuan or even 10,000+ Chu Yuan.

But it never occurred to him that Song Erniu's net worth would run into the millions.

In fact, this number is already Song Erniu's small... In fact, Song Erniu's net worth is far more than 100 million.

Song Erniu's net worth is as diversified as that of many wealthy people... In addition to company shares, he also has a sum of cash and value-preserving securities that can be converted into cash at any time, such as treasury bonds, railway bonds, and other bonds with basically stable income .

There are also some risky securities assets, such as funds and stocks.

There are also some real estates, these real estates are mainly located in the provincial capitals of North America, a luxurious suburban manor in Jinshan City, a luxurious three-story residence in the center of Jinshan City, more than ten sets of investment shops and several office buildings.

However, more assets are brought by Song's clothing company's controlling stake.

Song's Apparel Company is not listed, and naturally there is no clear market value at all, but Song Erniu has introduced a strategic investor once before to solve financing, expand channels, open up the local market, and pave the way for subsequent listings.

According to the third-party evaluation agency after the introduction of strategic investors last year, Song's Apparel Company can be valued at about 150 million Chu Yuan. After financing, Song Erniu still occupies 80.00% of the company's shares. This part of the equity alone is worth at least 120 million Chu Yuan.

Plus more than 30 cash, securities and real estate worth more than [-] Chu Yuan.

Song Erniu's total assets are about 160 million Chu Yuan.

This is the net worth after the introduction of strategic investors last year.

After the introduction of strategic investors, Song's clothing company has developed rapidly. It not only firmly occupies a large market share of ready-made clothing in the Americas, but now also plans to open up the domestic raw material supply chain, and plans to set up a branch factory in the local area, trying to make denim clothing Enter the local market.

After such an operation, the revenue of Song's Apparel Company has actually increased a lot. At the same time, the future prospects are very good, and the market value of this company will naturally increase.

Therefore, Song Erniu's current actual worth is more than 160 million Chu Yuan, but it's hard to say how much. After all, it's hard to say how much this company is worth if it's not a listed company.

If you have to calculate it, then you have to ask a third-party agency to evaluate it.

So Song Erniu himself actually doesn't know how much money he has... because his assets are changing anytime and anywhere, especially the equity of Song's Apparel Company, which constitutes the core of assets. change by change.

When the market is good and his company is more profitable, the shares will naturally be more valuable. On the contrary, the shares will depreciate rapidly.

But even if you don't know it clearly, you must be worth a million dollars.

These Song Erniu didn't tell his family in detail... But the Song family was shocked by the millionaire Song Erniu said.

After several years of fighting and farming all his life, it was only these seven or eight years that his life began to improve. Only in the last four or five years did he completely give up struggling and lie down to enjoy the retirement life. After hearing this, Father Song was silent for a long time, and then said: "We don't understand these things about you, but be more cautious in everything!"

"Boss Liu, who ran a sawmill in the town, had a good business in the early years and asked for a bank loan to expand the scale to make furniture directly, but now... the business has long since disappeared, and both the sawmill and the furniture factory have closed down. Not to mention, I still owe a whole lot of debt to the bank, and even the family manor was taken away by the bankers!"

"We don't understand your business either, but we must be more cautious!"

"Before doing anything, you must first leave a retreat!"

"When I was a soldier, our post chief often said that before thinking about victory, we should think about defeat. Before fighting, we must first draw up a retreat route."

As he spoke, he took a puff of dry cigarette and continued: "Our post chief is a serious scholar, and a high-achieving student at the Army Military Academy. Can there be any mistakes in what he said?"

"He sacrificed early, otherwise he would have become a general!"

As he spoke, Father Song's eyes drifted away, and he began to talk about his years of fighting in the unification war in the past... The members of the Song family were speechless when they saw him like this.

Even Song Erniu, who has been away from home for many years, still remembers that his father likes to brag about his military experience and bravery in the Unification War...

But in fact, Song's father never served in the army seriously... When he and his family escaped from Henan, he happened to encounter a battle between the Chu army and the Ming army. The army on the front line transported various supplies such as food, grass, weapons and ammunition...Although they also wore winter jackets and military uniforms and self-defense knives.

But in fact, he doesn't even have a military rank... he's just an ordinary civilian husband. The winter uniform he was issued was purely for fear that these civilians would be frozen to death. As for the waist knife... the Chu army seized it from the Ming army There are all kinds of cold weapons, especially waist knives and spears. It's a trivial matter to give them cold weapons such as waist knives and spears to give them courage...

Song's father said that his transport battalion was also going to fight, and he fought several times with the Ming army... He won many battles with the transport battalion commander back then... Song Erniu and others were skeptical of this. !
Anyone who has a little understanding of the Chu army system knows that the transportation battalion/regiment/brigade in the Great Chu Empire Army seems to have the name of an army organization, and also adopts militarized management, but in fact, except for a few logistics officers and Except for the soldiers, most of them are civilians who are responsible for transportation...

And these civilians usually don't go to the front line at all...not even close to the battlefield.

The transportation of materials near the frontier battlefields is all professionally handled by the supply unit, and many transportation battalions and regiments under the logistics department are responsible for transportation tasks in the rear.

Pulling Qing Zhuang, a civilian husband in the transportation army, to the battlefield... Not to mention that this cannon fodder will die in vain, and the cannon fodder also has to eat, drink, and waste supplies... The Chu army also despises them for wasting supplies on the front line, plus Big logistical burden.

Therefore, the Chu army will hardly drag the young and strong civilians in the transport troops to the battlefield, and will not even let them approach, so as to save trouble!

However, Father Song insisted that even though he went to the transport battalion back then, he was considered a soldier in the army, and he had won several battles. He also took the padded jacket military uniform and a waist knife issued by the army back then as evidence, It's not easy for them to refute...

He is the father, so he can brag as much as he likes, and it is not easy for them as sons to refute.

Song's father boasted too much, and Song's mother on the side ignored him, but pulled her son aside to ask about his health, and asked Song Erniu about his life in these years in detail.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Father Song silently picked up the dry tobacco, and when he was about to light it, he saw the eldest daughter-in-law walking in with the youngest granddaughter, and immediately got up and went outside the door.

Song's mother continued to ask about her son's situation outside. She didn't ask about business and career, and she didn't understand these things. He just asked about some details of life.

As he asked, he asked about emotional matters, and when he asked, he glanced at the two personal maids brought back by Song Erniu who were waiting outside.

Although Song's mother was just an old woman from the countryside and didn't know much, she could tell at a glance that the two so-called maids were no ordinary maids at all.

When Song Erniu introduced a group of people before, he said a few more words when he introduced these two personal maids, and they behaved quite intimately...not like ordinary masters and servants.

The most important thing is that these two so-called maids are all delicate, with top choices in appearance and figure, no matter how you look at them, they don't look like serving maids.

Although Song's mother was not from a rich family, she was just a rural woman, but as Song Erniu kept sending money back over the years, the price of life has been adjusted, and she has come into contact with more rich families, and she has some knowledge.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that the two women's clothes seem ordinary and low-key, but they are actually better than some ladies she has seen before. The first-class silk dress and accessories are not in their twenties or thirties. I can't take it down...

Although Song's mother came from a low background and had little knowledge, she was not stupid. After a little observation and guessing, she became suspicious.

However, when she heard her son clearly answer that she had no sweetheart, apart from business matters when she returned to the mainland this time, she planned to settle personal affairs in addition to going back to her hometown to pay respects to her ancestors and visit her parents.

After hearing Song Erniu's words, the two maids did not show any strangeness.

Immediately, I have a count in my heart!

The so-called maid brought back by these two sons is not an ordinary maid, but she probably won't be given a title... Probably the kind of housemaid, aunt, etc. in the pre-Ming Dynasty.

In the contemporary Great Chu Empire, there are no housemaids, aunts and other titles, and the law clearly stipulates monogamy, concubinage is not allowed, and the law does not recognize it.

But this does not prevent the powerful and even ordinary rich men from having many women around them, they just use other names, such as personal maid, concubine, adopted daughter and other messy titles.

But this kind of concubine is different from the kind of concubine in the Ming Dynasty. How can I put it, women other than the main wives in the era of the Great Chu Empire are actually more like the nurturing of later generations, second-, third-, and fourth-year-old wives.

So, although the times will change, many things will not change.

For a boss as big as Song Erniu, it's normal to have a few personal maids to meet his physical and psychological needs.

Even Song's mother thinks this kind of thing is normal... After all, Song's mother was born in the pre-Ming period and lived in rural areas for a long time, still retaining many concepts from decades ago.

For example, rich families take concubines and the like.

After Mother Song figured out the situation, she focused on introducing some information about the Chen family in the county to her son.

Song Erniu also knew something about the situation of the Chen family in the county. After all, the Chen family was an old scholarly family in the county, and it was already one of the best big families in the county in the pre-Ming Dynasty.

During the period of the Guo Dynasty, the Chen family did not resist like other gentry families or ignore matters that had nothing to do with them. Instead, they actively welcomed the king's master, and immediately sent their direct descendants to become officials and serve in the dragon. They also followed the instructions of the Guo Dynasty. Rules, take the initiative to sell a lot of land.

In the end, it became a typical family of Conglong gentry, which was retained and even further developed.

These are Song Erniu's basic impressions of the Chen family, but he doesn't know how the Chen family is doing now.

And Song's mother told him about the current situation of the Chen family. After Song's mother told him, Song Erniu basically understood why the Chen family deliberately came from a cowherd baby with him, and he didn't have much education and culture. , It’s just that the children of the peasant family who have a bit of bad money got married.

The Chen family continued to decline after experiencing the glory of the early days of the kingdom.

Especially after the eldest master of the Chen family who was the first Conglong and once served as the fourth-rank magistrate in the country died in office, a scandal broke out within the Chen family for fighting for family property. After the lawsuit.

Outsiders discovered that the Chen family, which used to be a big family, has become three Chen families...

None of the three divided Chen families could have a smooth career. Chen's family, Mr. Fang, has been in the officialdom for more than [-] years, and now he is only a seventh-rank section chief... That's all, it's exhausted The old connections and friendships of the old master of the Chen family who have been dead for many years.

Song's mother also heard that a small textile factory invested by Chen's parents seemed to be in a bad situation in the past two years, and was already facing the danger of closing down...

The Chen family in this county is not as good as it used to be...the grand reputation of a scholarly family is empty, but in fact it has nothing to do with it. They even found money to find Brother Song.

Why did the Song family have anything to do with Chen's family?
It was because the textile factory at the Chen family was facing bankruptcy and was going to find a seller to sell it, so as to recover some of the capital!

As for the Song family, as a newly rising rich family in the county, although outsiders don't know how much money the Song family, that is, Song Erniu, has, they can guess that it must not be much worse.

It just so happened that Brother Song had also opened a small garment factory in the county with Song Erniu's support, or investment.

Brother Song wanted to take it when he heard that the Chen family was going to sell the textile factory.

Because although the textile factory is small in scale.The equipment is old and worthless, and I still owe a share of debt. In fact, although it is not insolvent, it is not worth a lot of money... The important thing is that there are no orders, which leads to the production line not being produced, but the operating expenses of the factory But it cannot be stopped, so it continues to lose money.

However, this small textile factory integrates spinning, weaving, and printing and dyeing. Brother Song wants to buy it, cut it down, and keep some production capacity to continue producing cloth. These cloths do not need to be sold, and his garment factory can directly digest them. Lose.

During the acquisition of the factory, Brother Song heard that Chen's family had a seventeen-year-old daughter who was waiting to be married, and thought that although his younger brother was a rich man, he was still an old bachelor, so he immediately thought about making connections.

Naturally, the Chen family was not happy at first. The Chen family claimed to be a century-old scholarly family with generations of officials.

Although the official career of the current Chen family master is not very good, he is still an official... Although the younger generation did not pass the college entrance examination, at least they have a technical secondary school degree, and they can barely pass the local college entrance examination.

How can a family like our Chen family be approached by a rural family?
What are you dreaming in broad daylight!

But when he heard that Song Erniu's business in the Americas was very big and he was worth a lot of money, even Song Erniu's big brother's clothing factory actually owned most of the shares, so he relaxed a little...

But the attitude is still rather ambiguous, saying that even if Song Erniu has good business talent, if he wants to marry their daughter of the Chen family, it is not enough to rely on a little business talent, it also depends on how he behaves in the world, his character and so on.

So in the end, Brother Song and Mr. Chen's family discussed the matter in private, and the Chen family proposed that Song Erniu go back to the mainland first... Let's see the person first, and if the person is good, we can talk about the marriage , if you are not a good person, just treat it as nothing...

When Mother Song was talking about the situation of the Chen family, Brother Song was also explaining.

After talking about this in detail, Song Erniu had a basic understanding of the situation in the Chen family.

Although Song Erniu didn't read much and his education was not high, but these years, because of business needs, he also hired private teachers for continuous learning, coupled with the thinking ability acquired from years of experience in business and dealing with people.

I basically have a rough guess in my heart.

In his opinion, the situation of the Chen family is very simple. It is a declining scholarly family with nothing but fame... The family's wealth is probably wiped out due to the separation of the family and business failure.

Otherwise, there is no need to sell the textile factory, which is the core industry at home... You must know that the textile industry is actually very easy to do these days, especially the textile industry in remote and small places. Maybe, without that capital, let alone that technology and corresponding talents!

But it is not difficult to survive locally.

After all, in many remote and small places, all kinds of support will be provided in the core industry such as the textile industry that drives a large number of jobs and provides a large amount of taxation, and even secretly uses various methods that cannot be publicly mentioned to engage in local protectionism...

After all, in many ordinary counties, the so-called industry in their counties...maybe there is only one textile factory... Well, if it is exhausted, there will be a government-run factory that makes farm tools, daily hardware, and small machinery with little technical content. factory.

Therefore, in many cases, these remote and small counties, in order to keep their only industry... often create various means to hinder the entry of foreign textile products and implement local protectionism.

Big Macs in the textile industry, such as Hantian Textile Company and Su Qin Textile Company, if they do not set up local factories to produce on-site, provide employment and taxation, if they simply want to sell textile products to remote places, they will be severely punished. Big resistance... because local officials don't want to see them...

You fucking came here and snatched up the market, our local textile factory closed down, workers lost their jobs, and our tax revenue disappeared...you expect us to welcome you?This officer can't wait to issue an order directly to ban your products from entering!

Of course, if you go to their local area to set up a factory and set up a production line, it will be different... They are very welcome!
In short, if you come to set up the factory, you are the master... If you don't come to set up the factory, you just want to sell goods and destroy our local enterprises by the way, so far as you can go...

Under such circumstances, the Chen family was able to bring the only small comprehensive textile factory in the county to the brink of bankruptcy. This tossing ability is also extraordinary!

However, Song Erniu didn't care about these situations, and even thought it was a good thing!
His marriage goal is very clear: to marry a high-class prostitute who can match his wealth...

And a normal upper-class family would most likely not marry their daughter-in-law to him. A cowherd boy who never went to junior high school became rich...

Everyone cares about face, and people in the upper class in America care more about face. This good-natured one didn't go bankrupt, and he would marry his prostitute daughter to him if he was crazy... This really married his daughter, and outsiders don't have a minute Said that you sold your daughter for the money to get rich!

Do you want to hang out in the upper class of America from now on!
Besides, normal upper-class families are not short of money. Song Erniu is a lot of millionaires in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a little bit worse for upper-class families to sell their daughters... After all, it is impossible for Song Erniu to spend millions of dollars. All the wealth is used as betrothal gifts and given away!

This is also the reason why he has not been able to find a suitable partner in America for many years. It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, but that he can't find a suitable one!
But today's Chen family is very suitable, the Chen family is famous but not rich, and Song Erniu is rich but not famous, the two just complement each other!
It's just that I don't know what the Chen family thinks and whether they will agree!

Also, although the identity of the daughter of the Chen family is very important, Song Erniu also needs to take a look at the character and appearance of the daughter of the Chen family.

Needless to say, marrying a wife is a good one, and appearance is also very important...but it is the best choice, but at least you must have a middle-of-the-road appearance.

He is a millionaire anyway, he can't go back with a short, ugly and fat man, he can't stand this.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the next generation!
