As soon as she got home, Su Yan put the jade back into the room, then went back to the kitchen to prepare a table of food for the Yan family. When Lu Yian came back, she asked him to join them.
This was the first time that Yan Shirong came to Su Yan's house to eat the imperial chef's private dishes. After seeing their large courtyard, he finally realized that Su Yan seemed to be richer than he had imagined.
After dinner, they left. Su Yan was no longer in the car. Yan Xi said to Yan Shirong, "Uncle San, a few tens of thousands of dollars is nothing to Miss Su. Do you know how much money she made from stock trading in Hong Kong?"
"How much?"
"Several hundred million..."
Yan Jun was surprised and asked, "Brother, didn't you say that there was someone behind her and that the money was earned by someone else?"
"She never admitted to making hundreds of millions, and even hinted to me that she had no money. It wasn't her who drained the stock market of hundreds of millions. But who was the person behind this?"
Yan Shirong frowned and said calmly, "You said she made hundreds of millions in the stock market? That doesn't look like it at all. If she made that much, why didn't she immigrate with her entire family?"
"Uncle San, her family is all in Beijing, and her husband is a deputy division commander in a military region. How did her family immigrate? I was the one who helped her get a green card. If she were an ordinary worker, she would have to work in Hong Kong for another seven or eight years to get a green card."
"She has a Hong Kong City green card. Could she have bought a house in Hong Kong City?"
Yan Shirong asked this casually, and Yan Xi thought carefully. Could it be that she really bought a house in Gangcheng? Otherwise, how could she have met her several times in Gangcheng?
"I really don't know about that. Maybe she bought it! As for what you said about her cashing out hundreds of millions in the stock market, although I also doubt it, Young Master Ye said it might be her.
This woman is a bit secretive. How did she know the stock market would fall? There were so many rough stones, but she chose to buy one that had a huge increase in value.
Yan Xi really couldn't figure it out, and didn't know whether Su Yan was really lucky or had the ability to predict the future.
Yan Shirong pondered for a moment and nodded, "This woman is indeed a bit strange. Not only does she have great luck, but she also seems to have a clairvoyant eye that can see through everything."
Yan Xi joked, "Could she be the Tathagata Buddha? Uncle, you've been out there all these years, so you don't believe in feng shui or ghosts, do you?"
Yan Shirong snorted coldly, "Don't disbelieve me, kid. Your Third Uncle has been traveling all over the country for so many years and has encountered all kinds of strange things. Have you forgotten what your great-great-grandfather did for a living?"
Yan Jun was puzzled, "Uncle San, how did our ancestors make their fortune?"
"Over 150 years ago, our Yan family made their fortune by robbing tombs. Later, my great-great-grandfather retired and started a business at the docks. From there, the business grew and became what we are today."
Yan Jun had never heard that his ancestors started out by robbing tombs, but they eventually became a wealthy family. It was truly incredible.
No wonder their family was able to transfer their assets to Hong Kong City even in the most difficult times.
Yan Xi saw that his second brother looked silly and didn't know how he grew up. No wonder his father didn't dare to let him go out on his own.
"Aren't you doing business with Miss Su and the others? Be careful not to get cheated."
"Brother, Boss Su is not that kind of person."
"We all need to be on guard. I suspect you don't have enough money for your project. Ask your partners to invest more. Don't be so foolish as to go to the bank and take out a loan by yourself."
"Brother, can you and dad lend me some money?"
"Oh, my company wants to expand and seek financing from big bosses, so how can I have the money to invest in your project?"
Yan Jun did not continue to argue with his elder brother. In fact, he still had about one million in private property, which he naturally would not tell his brother.
His grandfather transferred the family assets abroad in the 1940s and 1950s, and during the Great Movement, his father found a way to transport the antiques he had purchased in China to Hong Kong.
Most of their family's funds were deposited in foreign banks, and a portion was left for the eldest brother as start-up capital. Because he was not as bold as his eldest brother, he was eventually left in the country.
His elder brother has made a lot of money over the years. He eats meat in Hong Kong, while he stays in the mainland and relies on the protection of his family to drink the meat soup.
Because the mainland and foreign countries are developed, no matter how hard he works, he can't earn as much as his eldest brother. This time, his third uncle and their boss opened a jade processing factory in Beijing.
They wanted him to help with the management, and he agreed. My eldest brother wanted to work behind my third uncle, the boss, so he also took the initiative to come back for my grandmother's 80th birthday.
The reason he came back was because he saw that there was "limitless money to be made" in jade processing and wanted to get involved. Who wouldn't want to have a piece of the big cake?
Su Yan was really lucky. Her uncle and his men brought a truckload of raw stones from Myanmar and auctioned them for twenty or thirty yuan. In the end, she was the luckiest.
She was able to produce top-grade red jadeite. It was as if God was feeding her. She was extremely lucky and was successful in any business she started.
He was wondering whether she should give up more shares in the entertainment city project so that he could share in her good luck.
The three uncles and nephews of the Yan family returned to the processing plant, and Yan Shirong went back to the office to chat with his boss.
Yan Jun and Yan Xi went to the warehouse to look at the raw stones. Yan Xi said, "These raw stones were bought by Uncle San and his friends in Myanmar for 81 kilograms. If we want to buy 100 kilograms each, we can take two.
Brother, aren't you short of money? Do you want to buy two and gamble too?"
Yan Jun raised his eyebrows, "Brother, do you want to gamble on stones?"
"I don't need to gamble. Uncle San's boss asked me to pick two pieces as my reward this time."
Yan Jun's mouth twitched. His elder brother's level was only enough to fool ordinary people in the mainland. If he worked as an auctioneer in Hong Kong, no one would care about him.
If the family hadn't paved the way for him, he would have been able to make a lot of money. He is obviously a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, okay?
If his father had left the company to him, he might have made it to a big step forward. Su Yan went to Hong Kong with nothing and relied on the money from orchid auctions to make up for the losses, and ended up cashing out hundreds of millions in the stock market.
His elder brother clearly had the capital, but he didn't seize the opportunity to make a fortune with Boss Su. He just played with women all day long, and played with women with his friends.
He is just like their great-grandfather who had eight concubines. Besides making money, he is also good at playing with women.
Fortunately, his grandfather only married two wives, and his father's generation only married one.
Yan Xi picked up two rough stones in the warehouse with a smile, but Yan Jun didn't pick any because he was short of money.
Yan Xi asked the master to cut the stone for him. Yan Jun also called his third uncle and his third uncle's boss to witness the miracle. As a result, he spent an hour cutting the first piece of raw stone again and again, and finally produced a piece of waste.
He thought there would be a second piece, but it turned out to be a piece of waste. Yan Xi was very depressed. He suffered a great loss when he returned to China this time.
Yan Jun held back his laughter. Although his elder brother got two raw stones for free and thought he was better than him, it turned out that he was nothing.
