Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 992 The fight begins again
Second Aunt thought, if Chu Xiangqian’s skills in traditional Chinese medicine were taken into account.

Mountains of gold and silver were delivered to the pockets of the brothers Aiguo, Aimin and Ailin, but the three brothers threw them away with disgust.

Thinking of this, Second Aunt suddenly felt angry.

Ma Hua, Sha Zhu's apprentice, noticed Second Aunt's expression.

His heart skipped a beat and he secretly nodded to the master chef, Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu looked back in confusion, and the first thought in his mind was whether he had done something that he shouldn't have done in the past few days.

However, once we were sure that Second Aunt's gaze was moving back and forth between the two brothers, Aiguo and Aimin.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, before Second Aunt’s anger could explode, Yu Li hurried into the kitchen.

"Zhu Zi, the guests at the table ahead have all arrived, hurry up and prepare to serve the food."

Sha Zhu nodded quickly, while Second Aunt was diverted by Yu Li's words.

Then Yu Li pulled him out of the kitchen and whispered, "Aunt, why did Xiang Qian invite the eldest son of the Jia family to dinner?"

Second Aunt sighed inwardly and asked hurriedly, "Who else is there besides Bang Geng?"

Yu Li didn't think much about it. "According to Jia Geng's introduction, one is his middle school classmate, and the other is an old man named Guan."

Second Aunt also became curious now.

But when she knocked on the door and entered the private room, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e were sitting on his left and right.

But Qin Huairu was a mother after all, so she didn't have the nerve to show intimacy with Chu Xiangqian in front of her son and his classmates.

Lou Xiao'e, on the other hand, doesn't have so many concerns.

Chu Xiangqian had finished the tea in front of him, so she subconsciously refilled it for her.

Lou Xiao'e herself thought it was normal, but even Bang Geng and Han Chunming could see that when Lou Xiao'e looked at Chu Xiangqian, the love in her eyes could not be hidden.

Not to mention, old man Guan, who is very cunning despite his age.

Han Chunming and Old Man Guan didn't actually have many thoughts in their minds.

Even if Old Man Guan knew Lou Xiao'e, they were not very familiar with each other, and they had only dealt with each other once.

I knew in my heart that Lou Xiao'e had been divorced a few years ago, so it seemed normal for her to be intimate with a man.

Only Bang Geng was surprised and couldn't help feeling envious.

Chu Xiangqian can be said to be a legendary figure in Luoguxiang Siheyuan, or even the entire Luoguxiang area.

Not to mention the difficult times, when I helped Siheyuan with food, game and fish.

Just from hearing from the children of the second and third wives who had become monks and the children of Shazhu that their uncle had several wives, Banggeng, who was still a teenager, was already envious and jealous.

When I saw Jingrong, Jingshun, Jingyu, Jingfu and others going to the courtyard to play with their cousins.

Whether it's the way she dresses or the temperament of a child from a wealthy family, Banggeng is very envious.

Suddenly seeing Lou Xiao'e and Chu Xiangqian having an affair, Bang Geng suddenly thought that it would be great if his mother, who had been widowed for more than ten years, could also have an affair with Chu Xiangqian.

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment.

Chu Xiangqian saw Qin Huairu sitting upright with her clothes straightened, and knew what this woman was thinking.

He didn't try to provoke Qin Huairu, but stood up with a smile and took the initiative to greet Old Man Guan.

After introducing himself, Old Man Guan was actually quite happy.

This old man doesn't have much money, but he has a pair of sharp eyes.

It’s actually quite painful to see good things from time to time but not have the money to buy them.

If I have financial support, I will be able to buy those antiques that I think are good but don't necessarily have to sell my house.

You can totally make some connections and sell it to the young man in front of you.

From the fact that Lou Xiao'e paid 11 yuan in consulting fees for 550 antiques yesterday without hesitation, it can be seen that Chu Xiangqian is really not short of money.

So it was easy for Old Man Guan to reach an agreement with Chu Xiangqian. In the future, he would find out more about who has good stuff and is planning to sell it.

Then he took Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu to see it.

After the transaction is successful, 50 per piece.

If the item is extremely good, it would be no problem to pay one hundred, two hundred, or even five hundred for it.

Chu Xiangqian’s main point is that as long as the product is good, money is not a problem.

Besides, it is so easy to make money in China these days.

Just by shipping things from the south to Tianjin and Beijing by sea, you can make 30% to 50% or even double or triple the profit by reselling them.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many long-distance drivers in the 1980s and 1990s who could have become rich in just a few years.

Chu Xiangqian has a shipping company, so transportation costs are lower and faster.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian would rather purchase electronic products from Hong Kong Island and sell them to China.

Then they purchase bulk commodities from China, ship them to Hong Kong Island, Japan and South Korea for sale, and earn Hong Kong dollars and US dollars.

In the past life, there was a small brewery that produced liquor with a cost of 28 yuan and sold it to Neon for more than yuan.

Nowadays, foreign trade business really seems to be making money.

After the meal, Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry to win over Han Chunming. The boy was still young, and if he wanted to do business, he would have to wait a few more years.

Of course, there is no problem in doing business as a Hong Kong businessman.

However, the transaction partners can only be state-owned units.

There is no need for an agent to do business with these units; Lou Xiao'e is more than capable of doing the job.

The level of trustworthiness of his own woman and the mother of his future child is definitely higher than that of Han Chunming and other outsiders.

Moreover, if Han Chunming had not worked hard in the antique circle, he would not have become the big boss and collector Han Chunmin in the future.

After seeing off Old Man Guan and Han Chunmin, Chu Xiangqian looked at Qin Huairu and Bang Geng.

Bang Geng immediately became nervous, and Qin Huairu didn't even dare to breathe when she saw her son.

Feeling discouraged, he couldn't help but look at Chu Xiangqian with resentment.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, and said to Bang Geng with a smile, "You did a good job this time. Go visit Uncle Guan more often in the future.

He is a master in the collecting world and has a first-rate eye. His skills are enough for you to learn for a lifetime.

If you can learn 10% to % of his skills, I guarantee that you can earn or even in the future."

If someone says this, Banggeng will just think that person is a fool.

But when Chu Xiangqian said this, Banggeng had no doubt about it.

Just from the cloisonné multicolored vase from the day before yesterday and the 11 antiques from yesterday, I have already made 700 yuan.

If this happens ten or twenty more times, you can get ten thousand yuan.

Even though it may take a long time, the 700 yuan alone is more than two years' salary.

Bang Geng nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Uncle Chu, I will definitely go to Uncle Guan for advice often."

Qin Huairu interrupted, "It's not enough to just ask for advice, it's better to become my disciple."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Xiangqian again.

The meaning was very clear, but Chu Xiangqian just glared at him.

This woman is crazy to let herself teach Banggeng how to identify skills.

If you really have that kind of time, teach your own precious son. At worst, teach your nephews from the second and third wives. It is better than wasting time on Bang Geng.

But I'll just give you a few words of advice. Consider it as Qin Huairu's reward for serving me for so many years and getting me so many antiques.

He smiled and said, "Your Aunt Lou has about ten books on antique identification that I have collected over the years.

When the time comes, I'll ask your Aunt Lou to bring it to your mother. I hope to make a living and a fortune in the antique business in the future.

Your first assignment is to memorize all those books."

Banggeng immediately had a bitter face. This kid really had no talent for studying. Chu Xiangqian naturally knew the character of this kid, and said with a smile, "After memorizing a book in the future, if you can write it down silently.

I'll give you the latest foreign watch, a motorcycle that can memorize three books.

If you buy 10 copies, I'll give you a Yingguo car."

Not to mention Bang Geng was extremely surprised, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e were also looking at Chu Xiangqian in disbelief.

But for Chu Xiangqian, Zhou Dafu’s watch store has many famous watches that cost thousands of dollars.

A three-wheeled motorcycle costs only two or three thousand yuan.

As for Jaguar and Land Rover, they are only tens of thousands of yuan.

Not to mention Qin Huairu, she would serve him carefully and considerately after returning.

There are twelve antiques this time. If they were really taken to auction in Hong Kong, they could be sold for hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, which would be a lot of money.

If the news about that cloisonné piece had been released in advance, it would have attracted Japanese people to come and bid for it.

This one could be sold for hundreds of thousands.

So, this guy Banggeng is making money for himself.

Giving him some rewards will also help him improve his business level.

But it was different in the eyes of Banggeng and Qin Huairu.

Banggeng felt that Chu Xiangqian was impressed by his abilities, while Qin Huairu felt that Chu Xiangqian was giving Banggeng a chance.

By the way, it can stimulate the enthusiasm of Banggeng to learn.

In the afternoon, in the small courtyard of Maoer Hutong, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e pulled him into the bedroom as soon as they entered the door.

Normally, when two women compete with him, they can only play two games at most.

This time Chu Xiangqian was actually knocked down, and the two women fell asleep contentedly.
-
Before we knew it, it was 79.

On January 1, China and China officially established diplomatic relations.

After dealing with the magnesium grasshopper, the Celestial Empire no longer had any worries and began to take action against the monkeys in the south.

Chu Xiangqian discussed the outcome of this counterattack with Grandpa Xue, his father-in-law, his eldest brother-in-law and his second brother-in-law in the Xue family's study.

Winning is definitely possible.

Although Chu Xiangqian knew the outcome, considering the strength comparison between the two countries, it was impossible for the Celestial Empire to lose.

It can even lose once, twice, or three times, and China will definitely be able to wear out the monkeys in the end.

Of course, no one would fight a war of attrition if they could defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The result was the same as Chu Xiangqian knew. It took only one month to reach the outskirts of Hanoi.

But in the end, it was just like the war against India. Counterattack is one thing, but if we break into someone else's capital, it would be difficult to explain.

During the retreat, the superiors did as Chu Xiangqian expected.

Move away everything that can be moved.

Everything that could not be moved was destroyed.

It can be said that most of the cities in the north of the monkeys were instantly regressed by decades at once.

But to be honest, the thinking of people from top to bottom in the Celestial Empire is still stuck in the idea of ​​large-scale military operations.

But Vietnam has many jungles and mountains, so it is actually very difficult to really exterminate monkeys.

And once the fight started, many problems were quickly exposed.

Later, when the two sides confronted each other, the special operations brigade, which had been established for 17 years.

That is, the troops were expanded on the basis of the Xuanjia Company proposed by Chu Xiangqian when fighting against Tianzhu.

We were ordered to go to the front line from the training base in the south.

Xue Jianrong wanted to go, but he was now a division-level cadre and he also had to guard against polar bears.

It is impossible to transfer the troops from the capital.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that Xue Jianshe from Xue Jinglan's third uncle's family and Qiu Jie from her aunt's family were actually in the special operations brigade.

Moreover, one was a battalion commander and the other was a company commander. When the cousins ​​received the orders, they were so excited and enthusiastic.

He didn't even go home, he just made a phone call and headed south with the main force.

By the time Li Jingxiao learned about this, the combat brigade had already moved south for more than a month and was officially divided into battalions.

They entered the jungle in batches and started fighting with the monkeys.

Chu Xiangqian's heart skipped a beat at that moment.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the monkeys' main combat forces is indeed very strong.

After all, they have been fighting with Lao Mei for twenty years. It can be said that the first and second batches of troops that the monkeys sent up were all experienced troops.

Not only are their combat skills strong, but their fighting will is no worse than that of the Celestial Empire.

Only when the troops were wiped out and frightened did the monkeys have to surrender.

However, even though the monkeys were beaten up by the panda and almost stunned, it does not mean that they will admit defeat.

When we were fighting the magnesium grasshopper, it was so difficult at first and we were almost wiped out.

Finally, with the support of pandas and polar bears, they managed to hold on, and then started to fight with the magnesium grasshoppers.

So the monkeys’ idea is very simple, if I can’t beat you pandas, then I will fight again, a war of attrition that will last for 10 or 20 years.

But China will not make the same mistake as the Chinese.

Besides, there are obvious examples of women like Magnesium everywhere, and China will naturally learn from their lessons.

So even though the war continued, the Celestial Empire only maintained a limited scale of war.

This is also the reason why the special operations brigade was mobilized as soon as possible.

Then most of the energy, manpower and material resources were put into development.

As a result, the war lasted for 10 years, and the monkeys became weaker and poorer as the war went on.

In the Celestial Empire, troops took turns going to the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness and morale became stronger and stronger.

The economic development is getting better and better, and the gap in strength is getting bigger and bigger.

In April, Chu Xiangqian heard that the special operations brigade had received a series of good news, so he flew to London to accompany Margaret and Jingxing with peace of mind.

Especially Jingxing, who inherited the tradition of Margaret and Philip's beloved daughter Alice and agreed to participate in the Olympics.

But this kid is not very interested in equestrian sports.

In his words, equestrian events are too unchallenging.

Even if her biological mother Margaret returns to compete, she can still win as long as her father prepares a few good horses for her mother.

So even though this guy agreed to participate in the Olympics, he was only willing to take part in shooting, archery or triathlon.

Margaret couldn't persuade this boy, and he called Chu Xiangqian every few days recently.

He even called Xue Jinglan and asked her to help urge Chu Xiangqian to fly to London as soon as possible.

Chu Xiangqian had to temporarily leave Lou Xiaoe, who was seven months pregnant, behind and fly to London.

However, before flying to London, he was still worried, so he sent Lou Xiao'e to Hong Kong Island.

Leave her to the care of her biological mother.

By the way, Zhaodi, who had been married for many years, was asked to accompany the family, and two obstetricians and four nurses were hired to provide live-in care.

After arriving in London, Chu Xiangqian saw Margaret and Jingxing before he even got off the plane.

Besides Nata, Alice and Charles were also standing next to the mother and son.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but frown.
