Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 596 Trouble is coming
Saturday was really lively because of the housewarming party.

Except for the New Year, the elders rarely get together for a drink. Although Luo Yang is a junior, he is also pulled to sit with the adults.

But he was a mobile staff and needed to take turns drinking at two more important tables.

The table was filled with male elders from Luo Yang's parents' side, including his grandfather Gu Baitao, his uncle Luo Jianjun, his younger uncle Luo Jianmin, his elder uncle-in-law Wang Chen, his younger uncle-in-law Ding Yang, his elder uncle Gu Xuebing, his younger uncle Gu Xuesong, his second uncle-in-law Tong Zhenhai, his third uncle-in-law Zhu Yunpeng, his fourth uncle-in-law Xu Yujie and his younger uncle-in-law Qiao Shian.

Including Luo Yang, who was drinking at the table in place of his father, there were exactly 12 people sitting at the table.

The other table was occupied by Jiang Fan's family, including her grandmother Liu Shunzhi, father Jiang Yuanshan, mother Xiao Yujun, second uncle Jiang Yuanhe, aunt Wang Mingfen, younger aunt Jiang Wenting, and uncle Gao Qinan.

Because there were few people, my cousin Gao Yanfeng and cousin Jiang Shiyu also sat at this table.

Including Jiang Fan and Luo Jianguo who came to drink with them, there were 11 people at the table.

"Yangyang, I think you can't drink much, why don't you go to your father-in-law and bring your dad back?"

My third uncle-in-law Zhu Yunpeng works in the power supply system. Not only can he drink a lot, but he also drinks very quickly. Except for my eldest brother-in-law Gu Xuebing, who can compete with him, everyone else is a little behind him, not even Luo Jianguo.

The reason I made this joke was that when they were drinking, I noticed that Luo Yang's wine cup was always not full, always lacking a few points.

"Third uncle, no matter how much you drink, just go home and lie down on the bed. I have to stay up all night with my brothers and sisters to warm the house, so you have to drink slowly, right?"

Luo Yang is also an experienced cadre who has been tested in drinking, so why would he be stage fright?

After he found an excuse for himself, he immediately shifted the blame to someone else: "Remember the time when grandpa hosted a dinner last year, you and your uncle couldn't decide who was the winner, so tonight's opportunity is rare. As for the good wine, I'll give you enough!"

The liquor used at the housewarming banquet was the high-proof Wuliangye.

Of course, I also prepared several boxes of Maozi, so I could drink as much as I wanted.

"Pengzi, Yangyang is right. It's rare for us to have a good drink once a year. How about one of us go first?"

Ever since he saw Luo Yang organize a team to subdue Dong Dawei last time, Gu Xuebing has looked up to his nephew. Coupled with Gu Baitao's instructions and the transfer and changes of his other brother-in-law Qiao Shian, he was able to help smoothly.

"There's plenty of good wine, Yangyang, that's what you said!"

Zhu Yunpeng was also a familiar figure in the scene, and he could tell that his brother-in-law was speaking for his nephew. He immediately walked down the stairs, picked up the two-liang wine jug, and drank a bottle with Gu Xuebing.

"Yangyang, your fourth aunt called me this afternoon after she went to see the new house. She couldn't stop thinking about it."

My fourth uncle Xu Yujie is an orthopedic surgeon. His income is considered good in a small county town. He doesn’t like to smoke or drink, but he is very interested in financial matters such as real estate speculation and stock speculation. As far as I can remember, he once speculated in Bitcoin. He bought it when it was more than 8,000 yuan and made a small profit at that time.
"Yangyang's house was rebuilt after it was postponed. The design drawings were also drawn by him. I have a few drawings of similar house types. If any of you plan to build a villa by yourself, you can ask for one from me."

Although Luo Jianmin was not familiar with his second brother's family, they were related and drank at the same table, so naturally he had some say.

"Forget about living in the city. Even in the countryside, it's difficult to get a piece of land to build a villa."

Qiao Shian and Luo Jianmin have dealt with each other before, and they have a pretty good relationship.

The topic just now happened to be in his jurisdiction, so he continued with interest: "Our Jiangsu Province has strict control over planning. Unlike the neighboring Zhejiang Province, where you can often see three- or four-story buildings being built in rural areas, here we have to go through strict approval even if we want to demolish and rebuild."

Luo Jianmin, who works in the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, is naturally also familiar with it.

"Qiao Zhen is right. I encountered such an incident a few days ago."

Luo Jianmin said: "A widow in the east of the city went to the Development Zone Management Committee alone last week and cried in the office of the deputy director in charge of urban construction."

The casual chat at the dinner table is a string of gossips and stories.

".Her son graduated from college and is coming home. He is going to get married next year. He cannot afford a commercial house in the city. The house in the village is old and dilapidated. He wants to tear it down and rebuild it, but he has gone to several places and they all said no."

Luo Jianmin sighed and said, "I heard that the widow almost fainted from crying. The leader later asked me to come over to discuss it. To be honest, when encountering such a thing, the leader also wants to help, but the rules are there. Unless special measures are taken, no one can help!"

"If the strict control is to promote urbanization, strictly control the quota of self-built houses in rural areas, and encourage people to buy houses in cities, then it's fine. But other provinces don't have such strict control, which is a bit unreasonable."

"Yes, some of our policies in Jiangsu Province are indeed stricter than those in other provinces."

Several uncles-in-law also started talking about it.

"There are many reasons, but it all comes down to the lack of land."

Luo Yang also joined the conversation at this time: "Our Jiangsu Province is small, with an area of ​​only 100,000 square kilometers, but a population of more than 80 million. Under such a base, we must maintain our status as an industrial province while ensuring the basic arable land area. Therefore, promoting urbanization, concentrating the population, and saving land resources have become inevitable policies."

"Yes, Guangdong Province has a similar economy and population to ours, but its area is almost twice the size of Jiangsu Province."

Qiao Shian said: "The Zhejiang Province next door has a similar area to ours, a population of only over 50 million, and an overall economic volume of only half of ours. In addition, there are many mountains in the south, so the basic arable land index accounts for a relatively small proportion, but their land use exceeds ours."

"This is basic policy, there is nothing we can do about it."

Luo Jianmin shook his head and said, "Perhaps this situation can only be changed when the urbanization process is completed."

Urbanization process. I don’t know about other places, but at least in Jiangsu Province, after about five or six years, the urbanization rate exceeded 70%, which has actually reached the standards of Western developed countries.

This means a weakening of the real estate industry.

The topic ended after Luo Jianmin said this, and a new round of toasts began at the table.

After three or five drinks, I don't know who started the conversation, but the topic turned to international affairs.

"I originally thought that after the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the US would gradually weaken for a while, but judging from the two events last year, when Deng and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were targeted and killed, they are still strong."

My second uncle Tong Zhenhai said this with great emotion.

Logically speaking, these pillars of society who emerged after China's reform and opening up are either very capable or very knowledgeable, and can be regarded as the country's elite.

However, most people of their generation still have some subconscious fear of the Western world.

There is nothing we can do about this.

When the country opened up to the outside world, this generation was young, the country was poor, and the Western countries, which were feeding on the corpse of the red giant in the north, were in their golden age, at their peak both economically and militarily.

These impressions are deeply engraved in the memory of this generation.

Unlike the post-00s, as far as they can remember, China has always been in the first echelon in terms of economic output and cutting-edge military technology, and the only competitor in their eyes was the declining United States.

I no longer have the inferiority complex of the previous generation and I am very proud inside.

My second uncle's words sparked a discussion, ranging from military affairs to politics, and finally to children studying abroad.
Luo Yang did not participate.

I just looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so I took the opportunity to offer everyone a glass of wine during a lull in conversation, then stood up and went to my father-in-law's table to drink with them.

"Yangyang is here, come and sit here with me!"

Mother-in-law Xiao Yujun is now extremely satisfied with her future son-in-law. She had left an empty seat next to her when the meal started. Now when she saw him coming, she immediately asked him to sit over.

At this moment, Jiang Yuanshan, Jiang Yuanhe, Gao Qinan and Luo Jianguo were also drinking and chatting.

The content of their conversation was unique, basically they were talking about business matters. Luo Yang called everyone one by one, toasted them with a two-cent wine cup, and then sat down.

"Why did you come so late?"

In front of his in-laws, Luo Jianguo of course had to say a few words to his son: "Your father-in-law and his family have been waiting for you for more than an hour."

"My third uncle and my eldest uncle were drinking together and almost got me in."

Luo Yang smiled and responded: "It's not easy for me to wake up sober."

"These two drunkards!"

Luo Jianguo cursed with a smile, and then explained to Jiang Yuanshan and the others: "My mother's brother-in-law and eldest brother-in-law, one works in the Power Supply Bureau, and the other in the Shuangfeng Town Security Bureau. They can drink kilograms of alcohol each, and they compete in drinking when they meet. I am afraid of them!"

"You guys at the real estate company drink a lot!"

Jiang Yuanhe now knows that this son-in-law of his eldest brother's is not here to take advantage of others. Not only is Luo Jianguo himself a shareholder of a real estate company, but Luo Yang himself started from scratch, and the wealth he holds now is no less than that of Jiang Yuanshan.

Therefore, at the dinner table tonight, his attitude towards Luo Jianguo was completely different from when they were engaged.

"Indeed, this is also a place where drunkards gather!"

Luo Jianguo smiled and said, "Even if you can't drink, you will start to drink in this atmosphere. As I stayed there, my alcohol tolerance also increased."

After a few pleasantries, Luo Yang came over and sat down, and they continued the previous topic.

"Brother, do you have any financing channels in RMB?"

Jiang Fan's uncle Gao Qinan said to Jiang Yuanshan: "Since 08, the United States has been implementing a quantitative easing policy. Now the interest rate of the US dollar in the market is extremely low, which is much more cost-effective than domestic financing."

"I don't have any financing channels, but I do have some Euros and US dollars. How much do you need?"

Jiang Yuanshan's photovoltaic industry has foreign trade orders, so it is not surprising that he has foreign exchange in his hands.

"Brother, although the amount is not large, I need it for a long time, so it is better to open up a financing channel."

"That's it"

Jiang Yuanshan turned sideways and looked at Luo Yang: "Do you have such a channel?"

It is no exaggeration to say that if you call Dong Xuan directly at this time, you will definitely find such a channel.

The key point is that Jiang Fan and Xiao Yujun were sitting next to him. If Dong Xuan made a few jokes on the phone, he would be implicated.

"I think so. I'll call and ask tomorrow."

Luo Yang replied with a smile: "I'll give you the contact information later."

"Why don't you just add WeChat directly? Why do you have to go through me?"

Jiang Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Luo Yang and Gao Qinan to add each other on WeChat.

With this happening, Gao Qinan naturally had to offer Luo Yang a glass of wine to express his gratitude.

"Brother-in-law, you don't do foreign trade business, why do you want to borrow rice?"

Jiang Yuanhe asked curiously.

"Since the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, the US stock market has been at a low level. Now that Deng and Ka are being eliminated one by one, it is reflected in the stock market, that is, everyone's confidence in US stocks. The market will definitely rise. It depends on the specific node."

Gao Qinan replied with a smile: "Second brother, I plan to try my hand at rice stocks."

Gee.
The same information will reflect different results in different groups.

On the one hand, it is used as a topic of casual conversation over a dinner table, while on the other hand, it is directly analyzed into stock market investment.

"You can test the waters, but don't try to leverage it."

Jiang Yuanshan was used to being the patriarch in this family, so he habitually reminded his brother-in-law: "Since you are optimistic about the overall market, then choose a few sectors and make long-term investments. If the situation is good, then add more. If it is not good, then withdraw in time without hurting the foundation."

"Did you hear what big brother said?"

Jiang Wenting emphasized her eldest brother's authority in her husband's ear.

But to Luo Yang, the implication was very clear: listen to big brother, if we make a profit, it's ours, if we lose money, he can lend a hand!
Sooner or later, they will be our relatives, so just give them a hand.

"Uncle, I also have a small amount of money invested in rice stocks. If you haven't made a choice yet, I recommend you stocks of several companies that you can hold for a long time. The rate of return is definitely not low."

"Luo Yang."

Jiang Fan, who was beside him, gently pulled Luo Yang under the table.

The look in his eyes clearly said: Don't worry about this matter, otherwise if you suffer a loss later, it will definitely be your fault!
She knows her sister-in-law too well.

"Oh, Yangyang is also investing in rice stocks?"

Before Luo Yang could respond to Jiang Fan, Jiang Wenting spoke up: "Brother always praises you for your business genius. You must have a unique vision for the stock market. Hurry up and introduce some companies' stocks to your uncle."

“Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Amazon.”

Luo Yang listed the names of five or six companies in succession: "Just focus on buying these companies and hold them for a long time. The annual return rate will not be less than 30%."

Then he leaned close to Jiang Fan's ear and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure. If you have some spare money, you can invest some."

Before Jiang Fan could say anything, Jiang Yuanshan's support came.

"Fanfan, I'll give you 200 million Miyuan later. You and your mother will each take half. You can use this money to buy the stocks that Luo Yang mentioned just now."

Jiang Yuanhe's wife Wang Mingfen couldn't sit still: "Take me one, Fanfan, and I'll ask my uncle to give you the money later, and I'll buy it with you!"

After a lot of talking, leaving Gao Qinan aside, the women at the table actually pooled together 280 million US dollars to invest in US stocks.

If this money is lost, Luo Yang will most likely have to cover the loss.

The topic of investing in US stocks came to an end. Because Luo Yang just spoke up, the next topic naturally revolved around him.

"Yangyang, I heard that both Nai Xue and Lemon CC milk teas are products of your company?"

Jiang Yuanhe's words were not a question, but his next sentence was: "I heard that Lemon CC will release the number of agency stores in the second half of the year. Is this true?"

Luo Yang's heart immediately skipped a beat.

He planned to give the agency rights of Su Province to his parents' relatives.
