Chapter 298 Return to the old house
After Gu Youhui returned from Gu Jiu's house, he was filled with regret for at least two days. Because of his negligence, he missed out on a huge sum of money.
However, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu had no idea about the boy's condition. The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Shu brought gifts to his brothers.
The three elder brothers and the eldest nephew Dongfa of the Lin family each received a watch, the three sisters-in-law each received a gold bracelet, and the remaining nephews and nieces in the capital brought them beautiful clothes, school bags, stationery and other gifts.
I made a huge profit on the New York Stock Exchange, one hundred US dollars, which was nearly two million RMB at the exchange rate at that time.
In this era when even a millionaire with an annual income of 10,000 yuan is rare, what does nearly 2 million mean?
The investment in the electrical appliance factory opened by Gu Jiu's company in Guangdong Province was less than 500,000 yuan, 90% of which was borrowed from banks.
With two million in hand, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu currently have enough funds to invest in any industry they want in China.
Strong financial resources are people’s courage, and strong financial resources give people enough confidence.
"Why did you bring such expensive gifts when you went out this time? It's too expensive."
"That's right. You guys don't take money seriously. Even if you have money, you wouldn't spend it like this. You're such a spendthrift."
In the evening, the family had a dinner together in the yard newly bought by Lin Weixin. The eldest and second sisters-in-law couldn't help but preach.
In the circle they live in, they have never seen such valuable gifts as gold and watches as holiday gifts.
What’s the difference between this and the boy who scatters money?
"My two sisters-in-law are right, Lin Shu, your gift is too expensive, we can't accept it."
As she spoke, Li Wan took off the bracelet and tried to put it back into Lin Shu's hand.
Lin Shu put the bracelet back on her wrist, "Third sister-in-law, I've already bought the bracelet back, so don't refuse to accept it."
"Everyone, listen to Shushu and accept it. This time we went to the United States and made a lot of money investing in the stock exchange there. You can accept this gift today and think of it as giving away money. If you make a fortune outside and don't give some of it away, you will always feel uneasy."
Gu Jiu picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for the three brothers-in-law. While chatting, he said that the expensive gifts were for peace of mind.
In some places, there is indeed a saying that if you get unexpected wealth, you should spend some of it, otherwise if you can't control it, it will easily bring disaster.
Lin Gang put the watch on his wrist and gestured. He looked at it from left to right and couldn't let it go. "Since it's your gift, I will accept it without hesitation."
After saying that, seeing that his eldest and second brothers were looking at him with disapproval, he laughed and said, "Don't look at me like that. It's not that I'm greedy, it's mainly because my brother-in-law is so good at giving gifts. This gift completely touched my heart."
What man doesn’t like famous watches?
If there is something you don’t like, it must be because you are reluctant to spend money on it or you mean what you say.
Any man who says he doesn't like someone is hypocritical.
Gu Jiu noticed that his eldest and second brothers wanted to accept it but felt it was too expensive, and their conflicted expressions amused him.
He laughed: "I knew you would like it, because when I was in the United States, I almost couldn't walk when I saw the famous watches on the counter. I always felt that I couldn't sleep well at night if I didn't buy them."
Lin Shu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the watch on his wrist. "When he arrived at the mall over there, he immediately dragged me to buy a watch. You can see that it is a pair with his style. In the United States, watches of the same style are called couple watches."
On the white wrist, there is a black watch with a small amount of gold, and the two dials, one large and one small, are very beautiful.
Lin Dashan was envious and he also wanted to wear a new watch.
It’s just that the watch on his wrist was bought for him by Lin Shu some time ago, and he has been wearing it for less than a year, so he didn’t dare to show his little thoughts.
......
The next day is Mid-Autumn Festival. We usually have a reunion dinner at my parents’ home at noon. If there is enough time, we go to my husband’s home for a reunion dinner in the evening.
Gu Jiu, Lin Shu and their family of four had lunch at their eldest brother Lin Wei's noodle restaurant at noon, and then rushed to the old house in the compound in the afternoon.
"The youngest family is here, you two should come and sit down."
As soon as they entered the door, Gu Changsheng noticed them and asked them to sit over.
There was a teapot and a tea tray on the coffee table in the living room, and the poured tea was still steaming.
Sitting on the sofa were the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Guxiang, and the second son of the Gu family, who was later recognized as the second brother.
"Big brother is here so early, when did second brother come home?"
Gu Xiang: "I knew the second brother was coming, so I came here after lunch at Yue's house."
Gu Laoer smiled naively: "I came here yesterday, Jiu Ge'er, I heard from Dad that you went abroad, when did you come back?"
"I stayed in the capital for a few days after returning home. I came back from the capital the day before yesterday."
Gu Xiang glared at him: "You came back the day before yesterday, and you only came to see my parents today?"
Normally, I should have visited my parents the next day after returning, but it wasn't a festival nearby, so I came back to rest for a day and then visit my brothers and sisters on my mother's side to celebrate the festival. As a result of this delay, I might as well return on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Okay, stop talking about the youngest. They have traveled half the world with the children, and they need to rest for two days when they come back." Gu Changsheng was in a very good mood as he looked at Dabao lying on his lap. He didn't want to care about these trivial matters at all.
"Dad is right. We have not only been resting and recovering these past two days, but we have also been sorting out the gifts."
After Gu Jiu finished speaking, he took out the gift he brought this time.
Several paper bags contained gifts for the whole family.
When they heard that there were gifts, the attention of several children watching TV was drawn to it.
"Uncle, what gifts did you and aunt bring this time? Is there any for me?"
The person who asked the question was Gu Chunyu from the eldest brother's family. He graduated from high school this year and is now attending university in another city.
This time I had three days off for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I took a few days off, so I bought a ticket and rushed back home.
"Everyone has. Is Chunyu used to studying and living outside?"
Gu Jiu is very patient with his nephews and nieces. When a girl goes to school in another city, he can't help but worry about whether she can adapt.
Gu Chunyu pursed her lips slightly and smiled: "I was a little uncomfortable at first, and I especially missed the days at home."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken several days off just to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Call me if you miss home. If you encounter difficulties at school and don't dare to ask your parents, ask your uncle to help you solve them."
Lin Shu took out a small gift box from a pile of gifts and handed it to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu took it, opened it and took a look, then handed the gift to Gu Chunyu, "This is the gift your aunt chose, see if you like it."
Gu Chunyu was very curious about what was in the small gift box. He took it and opened it. He widened his eyes in shock. Then he looked at Gu Jiu and Lin Shu with surprise: "Uncle, aunt, this is really a gift for me. Did you get it by mistake?"
"How can I give the wrong gift?" Gu Jiu patted her head gently. "This watch is very fashionable. It was chosen by your aunt. Do you like it?"
"I like it, I like it very much!" Gu Chunyu's mouth almost broke to her ears, and she thanked Lin Shu: "Thank you, Auntie, I like this watch so much."
"As long as you like it." Lin Shu picked up another box and handed it to Gu Changsheng: "Dad, this is for you."
"I have one too?" Gu Changsheng was very surprised. He took the small gift box and asked another question: "Isn't it also a watch?"
"As you wish, open it and take a look."
Gu Jiu glanced at everyone. This time, he thought hard about bringing gifts to everyone but couldn't come up with a good idea. In the end, he simply gave watches to all the men and gold bracelets to all the women.
Of course, Gu Chunyu was studying in another city, so she chose a watch specifically to make it easier for her to check the time.
Gu Xiang was happy to receive the gift and immediately changed his watch into a new one.
Second Brother Gu was in a dilemma. He had done farm work in the countryside all his life, so his hands were rough and his wrists were tanned. Even if he wore a famous watch, he couldn't look like a rich man.
"Brother Jiu, I don't want this watch anymore. I can't take it with me even if you give it to me. Besides, I have to do farm work at home, and I'm afraid it might get bumped or scratched."
"Brother, just accept it. You have to check the time at home, so it would be more convenient to have a watch."
Gu Changsheng put on his watch, shook his wrist, and asked, "You went to the United States this time. You are quite famous in our provincial capital. What happened over there? Tell me now."
How can I not alert the people above me if I get one million US dollars from outside?
Not only the provincial capital, but the capital as well should be alarmed.
When talking about the one million dollars, Gu Jiu leaned back nonchalantly and said, "It's just as you heard. We went to Wall Street and saw the New York Stock Exchange. We were naturally curious. We went in and took a look around. We thought that stock trading was quite easy, so we played with it for a few days."
Gu Changsheng almost rolled his eyes after hearing what he said, and said unhappily: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? How could I believe you? That's a game in the capital market. If it's so easy to play, wouldn't everyone make money?"
