A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 310 Counting Money
Jiang Ning felt extremely uncomfortable during the meal at her second aunt's house.

My second aunt and uncle were just too enthusiastic.

His enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable.

After dinner, on the way to my aunt's house.

Jiang Ning also asked, "Why are my second aunt and uncle so enthusiastic today?"

Jiang Wei spoke his mind: "Something must be wrong."

Jiang Ning couldn't believe it: "What could be wrong?"

Jiang Ze guessed, "Could it be that they want to reduce my second cousin's sentence?"

"possible."

Jiang Wei nodded, "That's quite likely."

Jiang Ning asked, "What happened when you two visited last year?"

Jiang Wei clicked his tongue: "There's been a big change."

"This is not nonsense!"

"Well, he used to exude an air of authority, making people think twice before speaking, afraid of accidentally saying the wrong thing; now he's cautious around everyone, giving off a very insecure vibe."

Jiang Ze sighed, "Without the power in their hands, they are just ordinary people like us."

Jiang Wei suddenly remembered something: "Did Guo Xianglin graduate from university this year?"

"do not know."

Jiang Ning hadn't paid attention to it; he rarely followed his aunt's affairs.

Jiang Ze said, "It should be. It was all planned out back then: apply to the Central University of Finance and Economics and take the civil service exam directly. But now it's uncertain. He won't pass the political review, so taking the civil service exam is probably out of the question. I don't know what he's planning."

Jiang Wei said, "You don't need to worry about others. Second Aunt's family must have buried some silver. Even if Guo Xianglin lies down and does nothing, they can still achieve financial freedom."

Jiang Ze scoffed: "Bullshit. My second cousin used to have a dead-end job with a fixed salary. He couldn't make any extra money. He worked in Zhangqiao for a short time. At most, he made a few million. He even had to give back a lot before he went to jail. How much money could he have buried?"

"They won't tell you how much they bury."

"You can figure it out with a rough estimate."

The two brothers kept arguing.

Jiang Ning felt that Jiang Ze was right. Bei'an was not Kunshan. Her second cousin had worked in Zhangqiao for more than a year, and the figures he handled were all verifiable. It would be good if he could save a few million. He had even given away more than two hundred before.

The little money left wasn't enough for Guo Xianglin to just lie down and enjoy life.

However, I kept this in mind for a moment.

Jiang Ning didn't care much about his aunt's family affairs and didn't ask too many questions.

After visiting the Jiang family relatives, we went to my uncle's house and my aunt's house.

Then, I took my wife and kids to Qizawa.

I also visited the farm to offer my condolences and stayed overnight in Qize before returning to Beian.

From the second day of the Lunar New Year to the tenth day, people came to visit our home almost every day.

On the night I returned from Qizawa, several bosses came over.

They come but don't drink tea; they just leave their things and leave.

The New Year's gifts consisted entirely of cigarettes and alcohol, plus a New Year's money gift for the daughter.

The tobacco and alcohol storage room is almost full.

On the night of the fifteenth, the family opened red envelopes and counted the money.

"6666."

"8888."

"10000."

Feng Xue opened the red envelopes, and Feng Yu counted the money.

After the Chinese New Year, my daughter received hundreds of thousands of yuan in lucky money.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue were quite happy; the amount of New Year's money they received wasn't the key point.

The family isn't short of money.

The important thing is that these are all blessings for their daughter.

This is the key point.

Feng Yu said happily, "I'll open a separate card later and save Tian Tian's New Year's money separately. I'll give it to her all at once after she finishes university. I'll see how much I can save."

Jiang Ning said, "It's only in the last few years, with the construction of farms, that the bosses gave us more New Year's money. After the projects are finished, there won't be as much. My family gives me a few thousand yuan as a token, but I can't save much."

Feng Yu said, "Even if it's just a few thousand yuan a year, it's still tens of thousands of yuan. If you save it up for twenty years, it'll be quite a lot."

Jiang Ning wasn't too interested and asked, "Why don't you go to Australia too?"

Feng Yu said, "No, we're going to Sanya." Jiang Ning stopped trying to persuade her; it was the Lantern Festival today.

Once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, the New Year celebrations are considered over.

Tomorrow, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang are flying to Australia, and my brother and sister-in-law are going too.

Jiang Hua handed over the vegetable farm to his brother-in-law to manage, and prepared to go to Australia to familiarize himself with the business and take over the ranch. His son will be starting kindergarten next year, and he also needs to make preparations. There is no one at home, and Feng Yu and Feng Xue do not want to stay on the farm.

Winter isn't over in Bei'an yet, so I'm planning to go to Sanya and stay until summer.

The northwest wind in early spring is unbearable; it's best to take shelter there.

The following day, Jiang Ning and her family flew to Sanya.

Jiang Ze and Jiang Wei were also with them, along with Xu Wenjing.

Xu Wenjing didn't want to stay in her hometown and insisted on going to Australia.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to take her with him and prepare to arrange for her to stay in the family office in Australia.

First, go to Sanya and send your wife and daughter to the villa.

After staying one night, I flew to Guangzhou and crossed the border.

Fly directly to Melbourne.

After seeing off her parents, brother, and sister-in-law, Jiang Ning went to Xixi.

The family office is located here, and a meeting was held with the staff.

I outlined this year's work plan and also assigned Xu Wenjing a job.

Xu Wenjing was quite troubled and turned around to complain, "Brother-in-law, I don't understand finance!"

Jiang Ning said, "If you don't understand, learn. You're a blogger yourself, and you've never even touched finance before?"

Xu Wenjing said, "I've only scratched the surface; I'm not good at professional finance!"

Jiang Ning said, "Take your time to learn. You'll learn it in a year or two."

Xu Wenjing was quite troubled; finances were too complicated.

She doesn't want to learn anything now; she just wants to drive a tractor.

After spending two days in Australia, Jiang Ning took her two cousins ​​and flew to Goma.

It was their first time in Africa, and Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze were full of curiosity.

Having lived in a peaceful society, my impression of Africa was nothing but chaos.

After getting off the plane, they were shocked to see soldiers with live ammunition everywhere in the airport. Even though they were mentally prepared, the two were still overwhelmed by the level of welcome they received. Then they became excited, thinking that a real man cannot be without power for a day.

This is the kind of life a man should pursue.

Jiang Ning then introduced Kakul, who had come to greet them.

As they shook hands, they were overcome with excitement.

I've lived for over thirty years and I've never seen such a high-ranking official.

How can I avoid getting excited?

Without lingering in Goma, Jiang Ning led the two onto a helicopter.

Fly directly to the mining area.

Production has begun in the mining area, with more than 800 young miners working enthusiastically.

Without needing to be whipped or urged, everyone is very proactive.

To earn more dollars, you have to mine more ore.

The incentive of the US dollar is far more effective than a whip.

Jiang Ning went to the site to take a look and then convened a meeting with the management personnel.

After introducing my two cousins, I asked the people from the mining company to bring out a map and hang it on the wall.

The map is marked with many red dots, some large and some small.

These are all gold mines in his possession. Besides the two large gold mines in Kalemi and Rubini, there are seven or eight smaller gold mines, either stolen or given to him by Kakulé. He hasn't mined any of these mines yet, as he's not short of money for the time being and plans to save them up first.

The two large mines in Calemi and Roubini are one thing.

We might dig it up later.

But those small mines are really beneath them; they're not worth the effort.

The mining company engineer used a laser pointer to give a detailed explanation of the specifics of all the gold mines.

The foreigner spoke entirely in English, leaving Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze completely bewildered.

The two looked at each other blankly, not understanding a single word.
