After Yang's father and uncle-in-law finished drinking, they turned their attention to their son.
"Yang Jing, I heard from your mother that you don't plan to work in the design institute?" Father Yang asked his son with a frown.
Yang Jing nodded honestly and said, "Well, Dad, I don't plan to go to work for the time being."
Father Yang frowned even more tightly, "Tell me the reason. If you don't plan to go to work, those two years of study will be wasted."
Yang Jing winked at his uncle, and his uncle took over the conversation with a smile.
"Second brother, I guess my second sister also called you and told you about Yang Jing, right?"
Father Yang nodded, looked at his uncle and said, "Your sister told me, and I also know that Yang Jing picked up some big bargains abroad and made some money, but this can't be a reason for him not to go to work. Xiaolong, I know that our father has always wanted to train Yang Jing as an heir, but you also know that the antique business is not easy to work in. Maybe if you catch a mistake, you can lose all your family assets."
Yang's father's ideas are actually quite conservative. In his opinion, working, especially finding a good job, is the most stable way.
The uncle smiled and said, "Second brother, I'm afraid my sister didn't tell you how much money your son made from picking up a bargain in the UK, did she?"
"Your sister didn't mention this, she just said that she made some money. I think this is a matter of luck. If you're lucky, you can make some money, but if you're unlucky, you'll end up with a lot of trouble. We ordinary people don't have that much wealth to spend on this!" Father Yang said as he raised his glass to his uncle. The brother-in-law clinked his glasses and drank the five-cent wine cup in one gulp.
The uncle picked up a piece of lamb chop with chopsticks and said as he ate it, "Brother, I won't say anything more. Let your son show you what he got from picking up bargains in England and France in a month."
Yang Jing nodded shyly, pointing to the brand new Wrangler outside the window and said, "Dad, I bought this Wrangler two days ago, for more than 400,000 yuan. Well, and this watch was also bought by me in France. My mom has one, so I brought this one directly to you. It's the same brand as my mom's." As he spoke, Yang Jing took out the watch box containing the Audemars Piguet watch from the bag beside him and handed it to his dad.
Dad Yang took the box and his eyes widened immediately after he opened it.
The uncle smiled and said, "Second brother, you've made a mistake this time! The pair of watches your son bought for you and my sister are more valuable than this Wrangler outside. The two watches together cost more than 80,000 Euros, more than 600,000 RMB! Add this Wrangler, that's more than a million! Second brother, you worked hard for six or seven years abroad, did you earn a million?"
Dad Yang shook his head a little confused.
"Dad, please wear this watch first. This watch is bought for you by your son." Seeing that his father's mood was a little off, Yang Jing quickly changed the subject.
My father silently took off the Citizen watch on his hand and put on the Audemars Piguet Millennium watch. His face looked better then.
But the uncle obviously didn't want to give up this opportunity. He ignored Yang Jing's expression and continued, "Brother, these things are just the tip of the iceberg of what Yang Jing has gained in Britain and France. Yang Jing bought three Picasso sketches in Britain and sold them for a total of 2.7 million pounds. After deducting all the miscellaneous expenses, Yang Jing still had more than 2.2 million pounds left. Yang Jing has transferred 2 million pounds of them into national currency and deposited them on a card to my sister, a total of more than 16 million. This watch and that car were bought for you with Yang Jing's pocket money."
"Also, Yang Jing is wearing a Patek Philippe Platinum World Time watch on his left hand, which is worth an inestimable amount of money. This watch was sold at an auction for $4.06 million fifteen years ago. If it were auctioned now, it would probably be worth double that. In other words, your son is wearing half a hundred million dollars on his hand right now!"
"The money Yang Jing made from finding bargains in less than a month is more than what all of our family members make in their entire lives. Second brother, do you think it's appropriate for Yang Jing to go to work? The most important thing is that Yang Jing does have an outstanding talent in the antique business. Yesterday morning, Yang Jing and I pushed our father to the antique market. We were originally taking the old man out to relax, but your son accidentally found another big bargain. He spent 10,000 yuan to buy a Ming Dynasty engraved book, but it turned out that there were five rare Song Dynasty and Shu Dynasty engraved books inside. Although it has not been confirmed whether those five books are from the Song Dynasty and Shu Dynasty, once it is confirmed, it will be at least another million yuan in revenue!"
"Second brother, Yang Jing can make more than a million in less than an hour, but you still let your son go to work! Yang Jing works hard and can't make more than 100,000 or 80,000 a year, why do you let him go to work? He can make hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a day just by playing at home, and you still let him go to work. Wouldn't it be a joke if people told others about it?"
Father Yang remained silent.
The eldest uncle took over the old uncle's words and said, "Old Yang, although you have to make the final decision on Yang Jing's affairs, now that Yang Jing has this ability, you should not bury the child's talent. The child is grown up, and it is no longer the time for him to do whatever you say when he was a child. Yang Jing is already 25 years old and will soon find a wife, get married and have children. You are still controlling him like this. Aren't you afraid that the child will not support you in your old age? You are also over 50 years old, why are you still worrying about the child? Let the child do it."
Father Yang raised his head and opened his mouth, but no word came out.
Yang Jing struck while the iron was hot and said, "Dad, I like the antique business because I have been exposed to it since I was a child. As the saying goes, antiques are good in troubled times and good times. The situation in our country is so good now. I think the antique business will still have a future in the next few decades. So I plan not to work for the time being and try my hand in this business for two years. If it works out after two years, then we'll talk about it. If it doesn't work out, I'll give up this business and go back to work. Do you think it's okay?"
The father looked at his son for a long while, and finally he sighed and said, "You can do whatever you want! But you can't touch the money you gave your mother now. If you get an eye injury and need medicine, you have this money as a backup, at least you can have a chance to turn things around."
Hearing this, Yang Jing knew that his father had compromised, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
However, Yang Jing still said, "Dad, the money I gave to mom can only leave a few million at most. I have discussed with my mom and plan to use most of it to open an electric car store. You and my uncle will take care of this. Dad, you are not young anymore. Don't hang around outside all day. Let's go home. My uncle has nothing to do now. It's great for you two brothers to sell electric cars together..."
PS: I would like to thank “冰冷八度” for the reward of 100.
