The helicopter dropped off the people and left. Xia Yu greeted his parents whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
He hasn't been back for a while. Last time, it was Old Xia who was responsible for acquiring the surrounding tea gardens and expanding the scale of the production base, and Xia Yu was only responsible for transferring the money.
After such training, Comrade Lao Xia is already able to handle tens of millions of dollars of business very well. It depends on the opportunity to make over 100 million dollars, which he does not have for the time being. However, this fake rich second generation wants to train his father to become a real rich first generation.
That way the fake becomes real, the plan works!
"Good to be back, I haven't seen you for several months."
Lin Shuqin patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and said.
This is what it’s like to be a mother. I feel annoyed when they come back all the time, but I miss them when they don’t come back. It’s very contradictory.
"Yes, Mom. I didn't see clearly in the sky just now. How is our family expanding?"
"Ask your father to take you to see it. We've also leased the land from the neighboring village. We've demolished a large tea garden and kept a small one. We also have more than a dozen tea trees here. You won't have to buy tea from now on."
My mother knows everything about the family business, but she is too lazy to walk far.
Old Xia has good legs and feet, and he can walk tens of thousands of steps across the mountains and plains without feeling tired. Xia Yu inherited his legs and feet physically, and Lin Shuqin's laziness in character. It's a waste, isn't it?
The father and son walked towards the newly expanded part of the base. Xia Yu saw the small tea garden from a distance. It was about 20 to 30 acres. It was not as big as the tea mountains of tens of thousands of acres, but no matter how small it was, it was still a tea garden.
I have to say it's very strange. Xia Yu advised Gu Jia not to take over the tea factory, but expanded his own scale and included other people's tea gardens. However, he doesn't know how to make small cans of tea.
Apart from using the tea garden's output for himself and giving it to others, he plans to shade the rest and make matcha. The chain dessert shops under Xia's Catering will focus on matcha desserts.
Analogous to the improvement of the quality of vegetables, meat, eggs and milk by spiritual energy, the same piece of matcha mousse made with base matcha powder may taste better than the best-grade matcha from the century-old Japanese shop next door.
With such support, the profitability of the dessert shop may still not be as high as Xia Jiabao, but it will help enrich the brand variety of Xia's Catering to increase the company's market value.
As for catering, you can’t just do one thing. As long as it involves food and drink, it is related to catering.
But it is too late this year. Tea has only two picking seasons a year, and high-quality matcha is only picked once in spring, not in autumn, because if the picking times are too many, the overall quality will decline.
Xia Yu didn't know that this was all told to him by Old Xia. He had done a lot of homework for his son's business and specially hired two experienced old tea farmers to take care of the tea garden.
Dad is still the best. Xia Yu was touched but also felt a little guilty. He had been hanging out outside and hadn't thought about his parents. He had to take them out to hang out later.
"Dad, do you remember what date is next month?"
Xia Yu suddenly asked.
"Next month? Your birthday? Isn't your birthday in December?"
Old Xia thought about it and said, but he didn’t guess it right.
"You forgot, it's your wedding anniversary with Mom."
The two got married in November 1996, and 22 years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Our generation doesn't have that many anniversaries, we just celebrate birthdays."
Old Xia was telling the truth. When his generation was in hard times, they would just have a bowl of noodles and an egg to celebrate their birthdays. They didn't even have a cake. There was no such thing as celebrating anniversaries. Only the elderly who didn't work had the leisure and interest to do so.
"Since we've passed this year, shall we go out and have some fun?"
Xia Yu took the initiative to suggest.
"Play again? Didn't we go to Africa?"
"That was all last year. We haven't traveled this year!"
Xia Yu feels that it is very necessary for the family to go on a trip once a year. His parents help him because they love him, and they are not his tools. When he comes back to see them, he should also take them out for a walk and see the wonderful things outside.
"Then don't go too far."
"It's not far, just in Guangdong Province. We can stop by Hong Kong and Aomen along the way."
The South, to see the real South, this is Xia Yu’s wish and also a travel plan he had made before, but he didn’t think about his parents at that time, so this time he plans to take them with him.
"That's fine. Why don't you travel around the country more often?"
Old Xia agreed to Xia Yu's plan and offered to help persuade Comrade Lin Shuqin. However, he didn't expect that they would travel by private jet this time, and the cost of one trip would be much more expensive than three first-class tickets to Africa.
Money is a bastard. If we lose it, we can earn it again. There is no need to be stingy. During this period of time, the couple's mentality has changed a lot. They have enough food, clothing and other necessities, so they really don't have much opportunity to spend money.
Having money but no place to spend it is a kind of trouble, but the opportunity has come. In addition to Shanghai, there are also famous dens of gold around Guangdong Province. This trip is definitely worthwhile.
"By the way, Dad, I have something else to tell you."
Xia Yu grabbed Lao Xia and said that some things could not be kept hidden forever and had to be revealed.
"Just tell me what's going on."
"Then you can't criticize me for spending money recklessly."
Xia Yu started by giving a warning, after all, this was quite expensive, but then Old Xia stopped and felt a tightness in his heart, thinking that this bastard would not buy another car!
Old Xia still remembers his son’s Zeppelin. That car was sold for more than 10 million yuan back then. You have to know that their entire production base only cost more than 10 million yuan!
“I bought another house.”
Buy a house, buying a house is better than buying a car!
Hearing his son say this, Old Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
"It cost one billion yuan."
“Hiss~~”
It was still quite hot and humid in late autumn, and Old Xia felt a chill all over his body.
Ten billion, this is not for buying a house, it's for buying a building, but where did this brat get so much money?
"I paid 300 million and borrowed 700 million."
Xia Yu went on to explain that this was more reasonable.
"Can you finish your sentence?"
Old Xia felt like he was on a roller coaster, going up and down.
"Well, I bought two old houses, which add up to almost 2,000 square meters, with a garden of 5,000 to 6,000 square meters. I plan to use them for my wedding. But don't worry, Dad, I won't be able to pay back the loan. I still have 1 billion yuan in my account, and our business is doing well!"
Xia Yu briefly explained the situation in one sentence, and Old Xia finally understood.
"Old Western-style house? Are they the grand mansions and old villas seen in Republican-era TV dramas?"
"Well, Dad, you know that too!"
Old Xia also likes to watch period dramas, but compared to the few high-quality anti-Japanese war dramas, he prefers logical spy films. This is also the reason why Xia Yu chose to make spy films, because of his family environment.
"I know. It's an old house with such a large area and such a big garden. No wonder it costs 1 billion. But where did you get so much money?"
"Of course I make money. Our family's business isn't limited to restaurants. I've also invested a bit abroad. We also have a film and television company and an investment company in China. Our business is huge!"
