Jia Youcai followed Lou Bancheng into the main hall of the Lou family villa, followed attentively by the two Lou brothers.
As soon as he came in, Lou Bancheng greeted Jia Youcai.
"My dear nephew, please sit down. Yaozong Yaozu will make some tea for your brother Jia."
After entering the living room and sitting on the sofa, Jia Youcai looked around at the decoration.
The decoration of Lou's house is nice, with a combination of Eastern and Western flavor.
All the home furnishings are made of solid wood, and hanging on the walls are Chinese paintings, oil paintings, and many porcelain ornaments.
Jia Youcai couldn't understand it. These should be some antiques brought from the old city.
Listening to Lou Bancheng arranging tea for his two sons.
Only then did Jia Youcai smile.
"Hey, uncle, you don't have to be so polite. I just came to take a look and ask a few questions."
"Oh, that's good. Let's go to the study and talk about it. When the meal is ready, we can eat together."
"That."
With that, they got up and went to the study on the second floor.
Just when I was halfway up, I saw a little girl walking down from the upstairs.
Seeing a few people coming upstairs, I hurriedly called out to them.
"Dad, big brother and second brother."
Then he looked at the unfamiliar Jia Youcai and continued.
"Are there any guests at Dad's house?"
When they heard the voice, several people looked over and saw Lou Bancheng responding with a smile.
"Yes, it's Xiao'e. There's a guest at home. Come and greet him. You have to call him Brother Jia."
After saying that, he introduced Yu to Jia Youcai.
"My dear nephew, this is my youngest daughter, Lou Xiao'e."
"Uh, hello, Brother Jia."
Jia Youcai looked at Lou Xiao'e, who now looked like a loli, nodded and smiled as he agreed to Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiao'e.
"Hello, Sister Xiao'e.
Uncle, is your sister Xiao'e ten years old this year?"
"Yes, I'm just ten years old and in the seventh grade of elementary school."
"Oh, that's great. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Next time I come, I will definitely bring some gifts for Sister Xiao'e."
Lou Bancheng smiled.
"Hey, it's great that you can come to our house as a guest. There's no need to be so formal."
Then Lou Bancheng said to Lou Xiao'e.
"Xiao E, do you want to go downstairs to play?"
"Well, Dad, I'm going to my mom."
"Oh, go ahead then."
"OK."
Jia Youcai watched Lou Xiao'e walk down the stairs beside him, glanced at her with an inexplicable smile on his face, and then followed Lou Bancheng into the study.
After everyone sat down, the two brothers Yaozong and Yaozu helped serve tea and water, and exchanged a few polite words.
Jia Youcai sat opposite Lou Bancheng and asked directly without hesitation.
"Uncle, can I ask you something?"
"Oh, nephew, you asked."
"Well, how's our fleet's business collecting scrap steel on Iwo Jima going? Have you established connections with those foreigners?"
When Lou Bancheng heard about this, he smiled and felt a little complacent.
The two joint-stock shipping companies have been operating for several years.
Before he came here, Yaozong Yaozu had always been in charge of the business.
Apart from investing money to acquire shares, Jia Youcai basically does not interfere in business matters.
Before I came here, Jia Youcai told me about Iwo Jima.
After arriving, he and his two sons made a special trip to Iwo Jima for a field investigation.
The result was satisfactory. There were a lot of abandoned war supplies left on the island.
There were also old and damaged weapons and equipment in storage, as well as a large number of various military and daily supplies.
Especially on the coastal beach where the fighting was most intense, there were shrapnel flying everywhere.
After arriving, he followed the preliminary plan given by Jia Youcai and went to find the long-term bank in the port city to discuss with them about purchasing some second-hand American cargo ships.
After getting to know each other for a while, he began to ask their manager to act as a middleman to see if he could introduce them to some powerful people in Iwo Jima so that they could work together in the supply collection business.
Not to mention starting a business with money, he actually found a way out.
"Well, business is pretty good. We've been there a few times and bought a lot of old stuff, and we made a lot of money.
Yaozongyaozu, go get the company's account books and show them to Youcai."
"Oh... Uncle, I won't bother looking at the account books.
I came to ask, mainly to see if you have any weapons and equipment?"
Hearing that Jia Youcai was not here to check the accounts, but seemed to be here to inquire about whether he had any arms, Lou Bancheng frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.
"Nephew, what are you doing?"
