Chen Ze and his father-in-law and uncle were chatting enthusiastically, completely absorbed in their conversation.
Just then, Aunt Lian, the nanny, walked over with light steps.
"Mr. Chen, the meal is ready, you can eat now."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze quickly instructed, "Okay, Aunt Lian, go upstairs and call the others down for dinner."
Aunt Lian nodded and turned to walk upstairs.
Before long, the round table in the restaurant was full, with the family sitting together in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the delicious-looking and fragrant dishes on the table, and their faces were filled with joyful smiles.
Seeing this, Chen Ze smiled happily and invited everyone: "Come on, don't be shy, try these dishes. I've put in a lot of effort recently to poach a top chef from the Guangfu Hotel. His culinary skills are truly remarkable."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone eagerly picked up their chopsticks and put their favorite dishes into their mouths.
For a moment, the only sounds in the restaurant were the sounds of chewing food and occasional exclamations of praise.
Halfway through the meal, Chen Ze suddenly pulled out a bottle of Moutai from under the table.
He skillfully opened the bottle cap and then filled the glasses of his father-in-law and two uncles with wine.
Then, the four men exchanged smiles, raised their glasses, and gently clinked them together, producing a crisp sound.
The father-in-law picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and after savoring it, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Hmm, it still tastes the same! This wine is truly mellow and fragrant!"
Chen Ze smiled upon hearing this.
"Dad, should I get a few bottles for you to take back with you?"
Wang Jianhua smiled and shook his head.
"I have so much cigarettes and alcohol at home that I can't possibly finish them all. By the way, recently there have been policies encouraging entrepreneurs to invest in Africa. However, some places are quite chaotic. You could send a delegation to invest in some safer places, such as South Africa, Rwanda, Ghana, Tanzania, and Cameroon..."
Upon hearing his father-in-law's suggestion, Chen Ze pondered it carefully. In 2012, there were only about 10 relatively safe countries in Africa.
“Dad, the African countries you mentioned are indeed relatively safe, but there are still certain risks. We will only consider sending a team to investigate after my security company personnel arrive. After all, I also need to consider the safety of my employees.”
Wang Jianhua nodded in understanding.
"As far as I know, large gold mines have been discovered in many places there. People from the Fuzhou business community have already gone to investigate, as well as a mining business community from Guangxi Province."
Chen Ze also knew about this mining guild from Guangxi Province. In his previous life, he often heard that people from the Guangxi guild made their fortunes by mining gold in Africa.
The Fuzhou business community, on the other hand, chose to open shopping malls there.
Thinking of this, Chen Ze's heart stirred. Gold mines were an attractive project, and he also had memories from his previous life, so he had some understanding of the distribution of resources in parts of Africa.
“Dad, once the security company is ready, I will send a professional team to these countries to conduct a detailed investigation of the gold mines. If we can find suitable veins, it will be a huge business opportunity.”
At this moment, Wang Siyu, who had been eating quietly, spoke up: "Honey, you must be careful when you go to investigate. The situation in Africa is complicated."
Chen Ze looked at her gently: "Don't worry, I will make all the necessary preparations."
At the dinner table, everyone was discussing investments in Africa. Chen Ze recalled news reports from his previous life about the discovery of a large gold mine in the Emirate of Ghana, and he secretly planned how to get control of that mine as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, the food on the table was completely gone, and everyone put down their chopsticks with satisfaction. The two uncles stood up and led their families toward the door.
Seeing this, his parents-in-law slowly got up and followed them out the door. Chen Ze quickly went to greet them and saw them to the door.
As they were about to part, his father-in-law stopped and turned to Chen Ze, saying, "If you're going to Africa, be sure to be careful. It's not like back home." His tone revealed a hint of worry.
Chen Ze smiled and nodded, replying, "I know, father-in-law, don't worry."
His father-in-law patted Chen Ze on the shoulder, gave him a few more instructions, and then turned and got into the car. The car slowly started moving, and Chen Ze stood there, watching their car disappear into the distance.
After the car had completely driven away, Chen Ze turned around and went back inside. He walked into the living room and saw his wife, Wang Siyu, sitting on the sofa with a worried look in her eyes.
Chen Ze sat down next to Wang Siyu and gently pulled her into his arms.
"Honey, Africa is so far away, and I've heard it's quite chaotic there. Are you really going to go and inspect the gold mine yourself? I'm a little worried about your safety," Wang Siyu said, leaning against him with a concerned expression.
Chen Ze gently stroked Wang Siyu's hair and comforted her tenderly, "Wife, don't worry, I'll be careful. I'll send security company members over to check the situation first. If it's safe there, I'll go there myself."
Wang Siyu raised her head and looked into Chen Ze's eyes, as if trying to find more reassurance in his gaze.
Chen Ze smiled and looked at her, then kissed her on the forehead.
The next morning, the sun was gentle, and passengers from Shenzhen disembarked one by one from the planes arriving in Shanghai at the airport.
Before long, Chen Ze and his team members walked out of the waiting hall, their steps steady and confident.
Ge Weidong stood not far away and saw Chen Ze and his group from a distance.
