Episode 607 IQ
After sitting in the car and thinking for a long time, Fu Shanzhan still had no clue. Now he had to admit that Fu Qingyun was right to scold him for having no ambition. Not only did he have no ambition, he also didn't have the ability.
Fu Shanzhan was thinking about this on the way back. He almost ran a red light once and then he came to his senses.
When they were almost at the old house, Fu Shanzhan received a call from Fu Xijing.
Fu Shanzhan was just about to call him to ask about this matter. When he saw his name, he immediately picked up the phone: "Brother."
"I'll go back the day after tomorrow and ask Qiao Qiao what gift she wants," said Fu Xijing.
Fu Shanzhan: "Aren't you coming back next week?"
Fu Xijing: "Things here are almost done, so I'll change my ticket."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back. I have something to ask you." Fu Shanzhan said.
Fu Xijing: "Ask Qiao Qiao what gift she wants first, and we can talk about your business later."
Fu Shanzhan: "Qiaoqiao went to Xuexue's place and didn't come with me. You can buy whatever you want. She likes everything you buy anyway."
Fu Xijing was a little surprised: "You didn't go with her mother?"
Fu Shanzhan: "I was busy with other things just now."
Fu Xijing chuckled and teased him: "Besides Qiao Qiao, do you have anything else to do?"
Fu Shanzhan: “…”
Fu Xijing: "You just said you had something to ask me? What is it?"
Fu Shanzhan: "I want to develop my career."
Fu Xijing was silent for a few seconds, not sure whether he was shocked or scared.
Then he asked, "What's got you excited?"
Fu Shanzhan: "I'm not talking about the kind of career you and Big Brother have. I want to do something like investment. I have more free time, and I have to take care of Qiao Qiao."
Fu Xijing: "That's going to have to wait until I return home."
Fu Shanzhan: "Okay, let's talk when you come back. I'm driving. I'm hanging up now."
…
Shortly after the phone call, Fu Shanzhan returned to the old house. It was almost lunchtime. As soon as he parked his car in the garage, he saw Fu Xiao's convertible sports car parked at the door of the old house.
Fu Xiao, wearing a pink T-shirt and sunglasses, got out of the car in a nonchalant manner.
After seeing Fu Shanzhan, he waved: "Third Uncle! Long time no see!"
He took a few pink shopping bags from the car and said, "Where's Qiao Qiao? I bought her some clothes."
"She's not here." Fu Shanzhan looked up and down at Fu Xiao's outfit, his eyes hurting from the dazzle. "What are you wearing?"
I only saw the pink T-shirt at first, but when I got closer I realized the shorts underneath were also colorful.
There are pink, yellow, blue and green, it's hard to describe what color it is.
Fu Xiao tsk-tsk-tsk, "You don't understand this, do you? This is called dopamine dressing. It really tests your looks. Only a handsome guy like me can wear it."
Fu Shanzhan's mouth twitched, "You should say the same thing next time your grandfather asks you."
Fu Xiao's expression changed immediately, and he glanced towards the living room: "Isn't my grandfather still here? Don't scare me."
"Look at you, you're such a coward." Fu Shanzhan patted Fu Xiao's forehead. "You haven't come back yet, but I advise you to take off these pants. They give me a headache."
Fu Shanzhan and Fu Xiao returned to the main house together. The uncle and nephew sat down and chatted for a few words. Then Fu Xiao sat next to Fu Shanzhan stealthily and held his arm.
Fu Shanzhan was startled and looked at him with disdain: "Grown man, just say what you want to say. Why are you getting so close to me?"
"Third Uncle, my good Third Uncle." Fu Xiao grinned at him, revealing his white teeth. "Can you lend me some money?"
Fu Shanzhan: "Your pocket money is gone now?"
Fu Xiao: "This time is different from before. I want to do serious business. I and..."
"Alright, alright." Fu Shanzhan waved his hand to interrupt him. This was the same excuse Fu Xiao had been using for the past few years when he asked him for money. He was already numb to it and didn't bother going through the formalities. He simply used his phone to transfer 50,000 yuan. "You can probably hold on until the end of the month, right?"
Fu Xiao looked at the transfer message on WeChat and remained silent.
Fu Shanzhan: "Fifty thousand is not enough? Aren't you being too extravagant?"
Fu Xiao: "Hey, Third Uncle, please listen to me first."
"I really want to get down to business this time. I want to start a business, and what I need now is start-up capital. Grandpa and my dad are in Switzerland, so it's not easy for me to tell them. My second uncle doesn't like to talk to me, so you're the only one I have—"
Fu Shanzhan can be said to have watched Fu Xiao grow up. They are only five or six years apart in age and have a close relationship. So Fu Xiao is very good at acting coquettishly with Fu Shanzhan, knowing that he is soft-hearted and rich.
"Start a business?" Fu Shanzhan was now particularly sensitive to this word. "What kind of business do you want to start? Tell me about it."
Fu Shanzhan was skeptical about Fu Xiao's plan to start a business. The boy had good grades, but all he did was date and have fun all day long. He was a complete playboy. Even if he started a business, it would not be a reliable project.
"There's a ski resort in Chongli that's for sale. Gu Si wants to buy it, but he doesn't have enough money, so I'm planning to invest in it." Fu Xiao said as he pulled out a PPT from his phone and handed it to Fu Shanzhan. "Look, this is the project analysis I did earlier. We're going to hold a competition next year, so tourism there is bound to pick up. This ski resort has a great location, with shopping malls nearby. It has a lot of locational advantages. If I buy it now, I can keep the reliable coaches and save on recruitment costs. This is much easier than starting from scratch. Although the price is a bit high, I've estimated that it will still be profitable in another year—"
As Fu Xiao spoke, he flipped through the PPT, and Fu Shanzhan also looked down at it.
He really didn't expect that Fu Xiao had thought so carefully and made a PPT of more than 60 pages. Looking at this PPT, Fu Shanzhan suddenly felt inferior.
With that comes self-doubt.
Even Fu Xiao is so ambitious, could he really be the least ambitious person in the family?
Not to mention Fu Qingyun, he himself felt a little disgusted with it.
Also, he couldn't finish the PPT that Fu Xiao made. First, his expertise was not relevant to the topic, and second, he didn't have the energy. He never liked sitting in front of a computer.
Fu Shanzhan now even begins to doubt his own IQ.
"Third Uncle, Third Uncle!" Fu Xiao chattered for a long time, but didn't hear Fu Shanzhan's response. He felt a little aggrieved: "Are you even listening to me?"
Fu Shanzhan came back to his senses and looked at him, "How much does it cost?"
Fu Xiao raised five fingers.
Fu Shanzhan: "Five million?"
Fu Xiao: "...Uncle San, do you have any common sense? That's a ski resort, not an ice rink!"
Fu Shanzhan: "Fifty million?"
Fu Xiao nodded. "I'll take 50%, Gu 450. We'll split the income in half. I'll return the money to you once I've made my investment back, at the highest interest rate in the bank."
"No need." Fu Shanzhan waved his hand.
Fu Xiao thought he didn't need to pay back the money, and was overjoyed: "Uncle San, I knew you were the best to me--"
"Send me a copy of this PPT, I will contact Gu Si and do this project myself." Fu Shanzhan shattered his fantasy.
Fu Xiao was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
