The leisurely life of rebirth.

Fang Monan knew that in 1984, there were less than 30 stocks listed in Austria at that time, and Rogers' investment in Austria was an amazing move.At that time, the Austrian stock market was very depressed, barely reaching the general level of 23 years ago, in 1961.In fact, Austria's economy is growing steadily.While financiers all over Europe are trying to find new investment opportunities around them, no one has expressed any interest in investing in Austria.Rogers was sure that sooner or later Austria would fall into their sights, and there were precious opportunities in it.

"Hehe... Thanks to Rogers' continuous publication of articles, there will not be so many people flooding into Austria." Diao Rong laughed. She checked Rogers' background and left the Soros Fund, taking 20% ​​of the company's funds Profit - 1400 million US dollars, well-known investors.Compared with him, we are not bad, Diao Rong thought.

Diao Rong handed Fang Monan a few more photos, "This is a photo from the Frankfurt Motor Show, familiar! I heard it was designed by you."

"Hehe..." Fang Monan smiled. "Better than mine, more perfect, more beautiful."

"That's right! It caused a sensation at the time. Due to the limited quantity, everyone rushed to place an order." Diao Rong laughed and said, "I just realized that there are so many rich people in the world." [

Yang Fan began to talk about his investment in Japan, "The Nikkei broke through [-] points at the beginning of this year, and we have made a lot of money."

After the Japanese stock market broke through 1984 points at the beginning of 10000, the rate of increase in the following years was close to [-] points, and it emerged from a five-year bull market.

Fang Monan nodded, and then talked about next year's arrangements.

"By the way, is Qi Qiushi here?" Cheng Shigui asked. "I have something to ask him if he is interested."

"It's simple, just call and ask him to come over." Fang Monan asked again: "What's the matter?"

"Oh! That's it. Japanese home appliances are flooding the United States. This time, I met a home appliance manufacturer in the United States. The workers went on strike and demanded a higher salary. He was so anxious. I suggested that he move the factory to the mainland. The labor here is very cheap. , He calculated that he was interested in this. The processing and assembly of supplied materials is very suitable for Qiushi." Cheng Shigui said.

"That's it! If the price is right, he should take it." Fang Monan touched his chin, "Household appliances, many domestic core parts need to be imported, so you don't have to worry about import quotas." Such as refrigerator compressors, TVs CRTs seem to be completely dependent on imports at this time, and imports are subject to quotas.

Qi Qiushi received the call, and galloped over on his bicycle. He arrived in 10 minutes, panting, and still sweating a little in the winter.

After hearing what Cheng Shigui said, all the conditions were suitable, Qi Qiushi immediately expressed interest, and then went back to the factory to make detailed calculations before making a final decision.Then he rode his bike back to the factory.

After Fang Monan and the others finished talking and eating, Han Zhiqian stroked his stomach contentedly, with a contented expression on his face.

Fang Mobei tugged at Han Zhiqian's cuff and whispered, "Brother Han, follow me."

Han Zhiqian looked at Mo Bei and followed her into the room curiously. There is no shortage of houses on the farm.Everyone has a room, and the farm is bare in winter, but it can be imagined that it is a good place to escape the heat in summer, with green trees and fragrant melons and fruits.

Fang Mobei's room is simple and clean, not like a child's room full of childlike fun, but full of books and music.

"What is this?" Han Zhiqian sat on the sofa and looked at the paper Mo Bei handed her. "Music score? Lyrics?" He looked at her with doubts in his mind, and looked at the music carefully, as if he had never heard it before. The lyrics were inspirational, positive, and catchy.

"I wrote it, but it's not actually written by me. There are a lot of things here that my sister hummed for fun. I wrote it down. I re-polished the rhythm, but I asked my sister for the lyrics. Please help me find out." Can you send it to the record company?" Fang Mobei blinked his eyes wide, and shyly held the Huaxing record cover, which was a well-known record company in Hong Kong that Cheng Shigui sent one after another.

Han Zhiqian looked at her amusedly, "Just for this, let me try, but I can't guarantee it. Because it involves copyright, I have to ask when I go back."

"Thank you!" Fang Mobei stood up and bowed. "Don't tell sister about this, okay?" She begged with bright eyes.

"Okay, let's keep it as our secret!" Han Zhiqian stretched out his little finger, "Lagou, if it works, I'll call you."

"Okay!" Fang Mobei hooked him. [

The next day, Qi Qiushi, who hadn't slept all night, came in a hurry, and after discussing, it was decided.Qi Qiushi and the others still have to go through the procedures for going abroad, so they have to wait until after New Year's Day before they can fly to the United States. At this time, the procedures for going abroad are very difficult, and sometimes it can even take a year, but with the full support of Secretary Wang, it is fast.

Leonard found Cheng Shigui, and the two sat cross-legged on the kang.

Cheng Shigui looked at him now, without the demeanor of a violin prince at all, "Tsk tsk...you've evolved so fast, I can hardly recognize you, and you don't look like you in suits and shoes on the stage at all. "

"It's called doing as the Romans do, singing whatever songs you want on any mountain!" Leonard chuckled.

"It's true that my Chinese level is getting better, and I can even speak common sayings."

"That's it" Leonard raised his head with a happy, relaxed and comfortable expression. "Okay, I won't fuck with you anymore. I'll come to you to help me sign up for Mobei to participate in the children's music competition in Moscow next year. Mobei will participate in a series of competitions in the next two years."

"Oh! Mo Beixing?" Cheng Shigui raised his eyebrows in doubt, seeing Leonard staring at him with dissatisfaction, "Your brother can teach you how bad it is."

Leonard changed his face quickly, and said seriously: "Well! This is about the same. There is no doubt about Mo Bei's musical talent, solid basic skills, rapid progress, and the most important thing is that the little girl is hardworking. Although I have only studied violin for three years, I have taught it for one year. Half, but her level is not worse than those who have studied for more than ten years, and even higher. Staying here will delay, so I have to find a music school for her." He laughed, "Although Mobei is so Good talent, but unfortunately, his personality is sometimes delicate, sometimes shrewd, neither arrogant nor impatient, and can even be said to be tactful at times. He doesn't look like a child at all."

'That's because you haven't seen Nan Nan before, which makes you even more shocked. 'Cheng Shigui slandered inwardly. "Then have you talked to Mo Bei?"

"We've already started preparing the repertoire," Leonard said.

"What about you? You have been hiding for a year and a half, are you okay?" Cheng Shigui said.

"I'm focusing on cultivating Mobei now." Leonard talked about him from left to right, avoiding.

Cheng Shigui had no choice but to give up!Don't ask any more. "Okay, I will take care of the matter of Mo Bei, and I will call you then."

Fang Monan and the others heard the horn of a car outside the farm, startling everyone out.Han Zhiqian hurried to the gate and opened the gate of the farm. Several large trucks drove in. The driver got off and said to Han Zhiqian, "Young Master Han, it's really easy to find. I finally found it." When it was opened, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw a cart full of stones.

"What happened to Zhiqian?" Cheng Shigui stepped forward and asked,

Han Zhiqian said: "Matthew, this is Hetian jade seed material from Xinjiang. The Yulong Kashi River in Xinjiang, where I went in early October, is entering the dry season, which is a good time to touch jade."

Han Zhiqian mentioned this to Cheng Shigui on the phone, and they both agreed that Nan Nan's words made sense.Putting money in the bank can only depreciate, while jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings are all non-renewable resources, so it is better to invest.Famous places for producing jade include Burma in the south and Hotan in the north.

"You're really fast, but it should be snowing all over the place right now, so the road must be difficult." Fang Monan said.

"That's right! This year is the only time, and we will go again next fall. The local relationship has already been established." Han Zhiqian said.When he mentioned the trip to Xinjiang, he was full of emotions. That place is really poor!He was ashamed to be so poor that he was dumbfounded.Compared with the locals, he was born in a blessed nest.

Seeing that the people there are living in such a difficult situation, Han Zhiqian is so kind-hearted for a moment that he doesn't counter-bid. When encountering high-quality seeds, the price is even higher. He clearly knows that the stocks in the hands of ordinary people are all top-quality seeds.As long as it is suitable, I will accept it. Unexpectedly, after the news spread, people from the mountain village more than ten miles away came running.He has seen what it means to spend money like running water, and the figures are simply astronomical.Fortunately, when he was leaving, Cheng Shigui sent another sum of money from the United States.

Han Zhiqian found an open space and asked the farm staff to start unloading. They stood under the corridor, "The purchase price of this top-quality Hetian white jade seed material is about 80 yuan per kilogram, which is cheaper than jadeite wool. I raised the price a little. The local The herdsmen rushed to deliver them.” He went on to say, “There is a saying that gold has a price and jade price, and Hetian jade is the best in the world! Nannan is right, the price of Hetian jade is seriously underestimated, and now the national government is paying attention to Hetian jade from top to bottom. Yu didn't pay much attention to it either. We shot when we should."

"Pfft..." Fang Monan laughed, "You dragged it here." [

In Fang Monan's impression, Hetian sheep fat jade is the price of seed material.From tens of yuan per kilogram now, it has soared to 30 yuan, 50 yuan, or even millions of yuan per kilogram.Now it is priced in kilograms, and later it is priced in pieces and grams. In the later period, the price of the best Hetian Ziyu can be called tens of thousands of yuan per gram.In just ten or twenty years, the price has doubled thousands of times, and its investment value far exceeds that of real estate, stocks, and even calligraphy and painting.Such a staggering rise.However, some experts predict that the real Hetian mutton fat white jade price is still far from rising to the top!

Han Zhiqian said: "It's close to you, it's only a third of the way to you, and it's pulled to the south from south to north across the entire China. Besides, your place is big enough."

Fang Monan looked at the rocks like hills, and first covered them with canvas. He thought that after the spring, he would have to build a larger warehouse to store these seeds. The people on the farm were just curious why so many stones were brought in?Now Chinese people from the government to the individual have not yet had a clear enough understanding to realize the huge profits hidden in Hetian jade.

Before leaving, Han Zhiqian handed two exquisite boxes to Fang Monan. After she opened it, there was a jadeite pendant inside, which was very beautiful.Gold silk jade, made into a red silk woven bracelet, with two small jade bells hanging below, the sound is clear and melodious when shaken, and two jade Buddhas, leftovers are made into pendants like teardrops.

"You and Xiaobei should be separated!" Han Zhiqian said, "The other box is the piece of wool sitting under your butt. For the bracelet, the rest is processed into small pendants."

Fang Monan opened the box, as if he was holding a piece of dark green in his hand, there were many pendants, just right to give it away.

After Cheng Shigui and the others finished their work, they hurried south again. Of course, when they left this time, they brought more things than the previous two times, because there were two more people, and they were also conquered by Fang Monan's food.

*************************

This winter is very cold, the sky is still dark, and the snow is still falling profusely. The snow on the ground is more than two feet thick.When I woke up in the morning, the corridor was blown with a thick layer of snow by the wind, and large chunks of dark clouds in the sky were stacked together like tiles.It seems that God really wants to fill the space between heaven and earth, and the whiteness looks strangely beautiful. It is really "like a spring breeze blowing overnight, and thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom".

Fang Monan and the others couldn't go out to exercise in the morning, so they cleaned the corridor and started punching.

Suddenly, a chirping little sparrow came out to look for food because of hunger, swung down the branch, and flew away again, without any snowflakes falling.It's really a bit like: "'The grass is withered and the eagle's eyes are sick, and the snow is as light as the horse's hoof.'"

"This snowfall is really heavy, and next year will be a good harvest." Mr. Lin said looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"'Auspicious snow heralds a good year' right!" Fang Mobei said.

"Yes, Xiaobei is right." Mr. Lin boasted. "I don't know if Qiushi and the others are doing well?" He muttered. "Nor a call."

"No news is good news, and international long-distance is always expensive." Qi Qiushi and the others left after New Year's Day after completing the formalities for going abroad.

It is easy for someone in the court to go abroad, and it is fast with the help of Secretary Wang. If normal procedures are followed, it can take a year or so. "Counting the days, it's more than half a month, and it's time to come back." Fang Monan said.

"Hmph! Just like you, he earns a lot of money and is so stingy." Mr. Lin said angrily.

"This is called carrying forward the style of hard work and simplicity." Fang Monan said confidently. "It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal," he said old-fashionedly.

"I know this." Fang Mobei said happily: "It is that the poor become rich, and it is easy to turn a poor life into a luxurious life. But it is difficult to live a poor life after getting used to a luxurious life."

"Hehe... Although the meaning is straightforward, it's well said." Mr. Lin praised, "It seems that our Xiaobei not only plays the violin well, but also doesn't fail in his homework." He did not forget to teach at any time: "This sentence Not only do you have to remember the words, but you must also be alert to yourself at all times.”

"Well! I know." Mo Bei nodded heavily.

"I'm back." Qi Qiushi looked at them with a cheerful face.The body is covered with snowflakes, like Santa Claus, standing under the steps.There was a person standing beside him, about the same size as him, and he couldn't see his face clearly like a snowman.

"Ah! It's snowing so heavily, why did you come back at this time!" Mr. Lin patted the snow on his body with a towel, and Qi Qiushi patted the snow on his body with another towel, and the two of them didn't forget to stamp the snow on their feet.

"Come in, come in. It's only past six o'clock in the morning." Mr. Lin shouted again, "Big girl, Qiushi is back."

Grandma poked her head out of the kitchen, and went back to bring out two bowls of hot mutton soup, which had been simmering on the fire. "Hurry up and drink it while it's hot to drive away the cold."

Fang Monan brought hot water and asked them to wash their hands and wipe their faces, and they ate without hesitation.In the blink of an eye, a bowl of mutton soup had already entered their stomachs.

"Hush! It's really comfortable, and our food is delicious." Qi Qiushi said with emotion, "I'm almost hungry!" He quickly introduced: "Oh! This is Long Xianghai, who just graduated from Wharton Business School , is now the general manager of our Zhongteng Industry."

"Mb is the English master of busness mnstrton (Master of Business Administration). Master of Business Administration is a professional master's degree originated from European and American countries that specializes in training middle and senior professional managers. Master of Business Administration trains high-quality professional business management talents, enabling them to master Production, accounting, finance, marketing, economic laws and regulations, international business and other multi-disciplinary knowledge and management skills. He is a product of the market economy and trains high-quality managers and professional managers." Fang Monan said.

"Ah! Little sister knows so much." Long Xianghai was shocked, he didn't expect that there are people here who know about business administration.

"Mr. Long, how did you come to our small temple?" Mr. Lin asked after seeing Fang Monan winking.

"Oh! Mr. Cheng Shigui introduced me here. He said that I will not be disappointed here. It is also wonderful to witness the process of a company's development." Long Xianghai said shyly. He originally wanted to graduate and return to China. I thought of accompanying my classmates to participate in the 'Black Panther Fund' interview.

His friend did not succeed in the interview, but he succeeded. He had a heart in his heart. He wanted to refuse, but he returned to China.He has heard from his brothers and sisters that when he returns to China and enters a state-owned factory, he will not be able to use what he has learned.So he agreed to the conditions offered by Cheng Shigui.

"So that's how it was introduced by Agui." Mr. Lin held his hand and said, "Then you are welcome to join."

"Okay, let's talk about the harvest of this trip!" Mr. Lin urged, patting Qi Qiushi on the shoulder.

"Seriously, Xianghai is much clearer and more detailed than I am, let him talk about it! Those of us who have gone to get people, only my English can handle a few sentences, and the others are not at all." Qi Qiushi pointed Long Xianghai said: "This kid is simply too talented."

"Pfft..." Fang Monan just drank the boiled water in his mouth and sprayed it out. "Sorry, you continue."

"He is a regular army. Compared with him, we are like dirt." Qi Qiushi went out this time with a lot of emotion, seeing that the old man couldn't wait. "Xianghai, let's get down to business!",

Long Xianghai sat upright and said, "Basically, we have initialed the intention, and we have to wait for John Rice to send someone to investigate."

"Then we don't have any experience in assembling refrigerators and TVs, so people are willing to come." Mr. Lin asked again.

"Let's be honest about this. At first I thought it was a dead end. I didn't expect that the old man Rice was willing to do so. He promised to train the workers. The original order was 22 dollars, which was 2 yuan less. The reason is that he was run off by Japan and My own workers were bullied by the strike, so I decided to move the factory here.”

"When will they come!" Mr. Lin asked.

"Oh! Rice's people will arrive in a few days, so I'll come back and tidy up first." Qi Qiushi said. "The biggest gain from going out this time is not this, but that Long Xianghai agreed to be our general manager."

"There, everyone works hard together." He said with a smile.

"Okay then, let's go to the factory to have a look first." After finishing speaking, Qi Qiushi pulled Long Xianghai and walked out.

The old man John Rice decided to move the factory here after he came to investigate in person. Although the transportation here is not so convenient, it is not close to the port, and the land transportation is okay, but the workers here are dedicated and skilled. They can do it with a little training. Let him talk about cheap ones, and the government also gives preferential treatment in terms of policies.

After signing the contract, Rice left in a hurry to prepare for the relocation.

The days passed quietly, and it was the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.Grandma summed up this year's harvest, steamed buns, steamed buns, soup dumplings, and pancake stalls, this year's income is close to [-] yuan, which makes her very happy.She has a great sense of pride that it is the result of her hands-on business.

"Hehe...Everyone has something to do with me, let me announce it." Leonard said. "In March this year, I plan to let Mobei participate in the Moscow International Music Competition."

"Ah! It's too sudden, can my Mobei do it?" Mom asked while stroking Mobei's head, looking at Leonard.

"Mom, I can do it." Mo Bei said to himself, with a spirit that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.

"Mobei is very talented, but she has never participated in a performance, and it can be said that she has no stage experience. Of course, it is not enough for us to support. She has a great sense of music and practice hard. There is no problem with these. The problem is that she has no I have met geniuses, but I have never competed with other talented opponents. It is completely different to entertain myself and participate in competitions before. You must be competitive and high-spirited. Now it is too peaceful, which also makes The level of entry does not match the degree of practice. If you really want to compete, then even if you are higher than others, it will be difficult to stand out in this industry, and it will be difficult to become a master in the future?" Leonard said seriously.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Mo Bei stood up, "I understand what Teacher Lei said, what he means is that if I continue to practice like this, even if I practice until I grow old, I will not be able to reach the same level as them." Level." Mo Bei pointed at the cover of the violin cassette. "I play well, and it's just what you said. It's like my father going to the countryside with technology. With the guidance of experts, the harvest in the field can increase. And with the guidance of experts, I can further improve." Mobei's The understanding is rough and straightforward, but the truth is not bad.

"That's right! We amateur judges, if things go on like this, Mobei can only mix at the amateur level, and it's hard to make progress." Fang Monan said.

"If this continues, it will be difficult for her to enter the conservatory." Leonard nodded heavily, "Participating in the competition is not only to increase stage experience, win rankings, but also increase popularity."

"But how much does it cost, and I have to compete abroad." Dad said a very realistic question.

"It costs thousands of dollars to go back and forth." Leonard said, seeing everyone's surprised looks, he quickly added: "However, these international competitions have bonuses, first prize: 3000 U.S. dollars, second prize: 2000 U.S. dollars USD, third prize: USD 1200, fourth prize-sixth prize: USD 600, seventh prize-fourteenth prize: USD 350, audience prize: USD 700. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get the prize for the first time, the main thing is participation, I'll put the money first."

"Oh! That's pretty much the same. So if I get the ranking, I can still make money!" Fang Mobei's eyes were bulging, and his face was full of money. "Mr. Lei, I don't need you to advance, I will definitely get the award."

'Is this still my student? Leonard thought to himself, he doesn't seem to love money so much!How to teach like this. "You've got to train hard to get the bonus."

"I will definitely work harder." Mo Bei clenched his fists, fighting high, "For the bonus." This is the last sentence added.Let Leonard cover his face in 'shame', that's not what he taught her.

"Don't worry about money." Fang Monan said.

"Yes, with this rich man here, don't worry." Mr. Lin joked. "It's just that if our family Mobei can really walk here, if we want to go to the music academy, we have to look for it."

"Of course it's the Royal Academy of Music." Leonard said proudly.

"The Curtis Institute of Music in the United States is also good! First, it has no age requirements, and second, once admitted, you can get a full scholarship." Fang Monan said.

"Ah! There is still such a good thing. If you say it like this, it is tantamount to passing it in vain. That's it. I will definitely pass the exam." Mo Bei said with great ambition.

"Don't wait to add to the chaos, you have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step on the road, be steady, and prepare for the first game first!" Dad saw the excitement of the two sisters and said.

Mo Bei heard, "Oh! I see, I'm going to practice with the piano now."

After Mobei left, Fang Monan patted Leonard on the shoulder, and said old-fashionedly: "This is the reality. The music industry is more than that. It should be said that it is the art world. To put it bluntly, it is not for money. Only when you have a reputation can you gain both fame and fortune .”

"Hey! This can be regarded as Mobei's motivation!" Leonard comforted himself.

Now that the decision has been made, Leonard and Mobei have formulated a strict practice plan, including a few repertoires for the surprise training camp, which are often used in competitions.In fact, Leonard and Mo Bei have been preparing for it all winter, but Mo Bei only knows now.
