Chapter 438: Romance

In Longhai's summer, the sun always rises very early.

It was so early that even Yang Wenfeng felt ashamed.

In the end, I still couldn't catch up with this early sun.

When we arrived at the pavilion in the garden, a set of quaint tea sets was already placed on the smoothly polished stone table.

Ever since Yang Huan bought this set of tea sets that were said to be from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty at a private auction for a European nobility, his father Yang Baoping has been unable to live without it. He even has to drink a cup of it every morning before going for a walk.

He even had an argument with the old man of the banker over this.

The reason is simple. Mr. Zhuang loves antiques and thinks that this tea set is an antique and should be carefully preserved. How can he use it to make tea?

But Mr. Yang was also weird. He directly replied, "What's the use of this tea set if it's not used to make tea?"

Then he pushed back sourly.

My grandson bought a piece of warm jade for you, and you wear it on your body all day long and show it off to others wherever you go.

Now I am making tea with the tea set given by my grandson, and you can't stand it?

You, the governor, are allowed to set fire, but we, the common people, are not allowed to light lamps?

Whenever Yang Wenfeng thought of the scene in which the two elders had quarreled for several days in the pavilion, he could not help but smile and shake his head.

When this person reaches a certain age, he really becomes like a child.

As he smiled, he saw Yang Baoping walking in from outside the courtyard with his wife.

Both old people had rosy complexions, and it was obvious that they looked much more energetic after some exercise.

"Dad, Mom..." Yang Wenfeng immediately stood up and went out to greet them.

"Come on," Yang Baoping nodded, "Sit inside."

The father and son walked into the pavilion. Old Mrs. Yang knew that they had something to say, so she went home first.

After entering the pavilion and sitting down, Yang Baoping began to make tea.

Even though he had a fierce argument with Mr. Zhuang, in fact, in his heart he regarded this set of tea set as more important than anything else.

Pouring water and brewing tea, the whole process is done very carefully, for fear of accidentally knocking this antique tea set.

"Come, have some tea"

A cup of fragrant tea was brought to Yang Wenfeng.

The old man picked up his own cup and took a sip to quench his thirst.

"Lao Zhuang called me last night."

Yang Wenfeng smiled immediately, "Is it still about the tea set?"

Yang Baoping raised his eyebrows, "He dares?"

It's not to mention that even though he has retired for many years, he still has a kind of imposing aura.

"It's still about that brat."

Yang Wenfeng was stunned. Of course he knew that the brat his father was talking about was his beloved grandson.

"Is he in trouble again?"

This is unlikely. Not long ago, Zhuang Mingyang said that Yang Huan was in Shenzhen! The research institute developed and provided a batch of smart glasses, which made the military very happy. They were directly equipped to the troops, saying that they could greatly enhance the research and development capabilities and combat capabilities.

God knows what kind of high-tech stuff

Besides, this guy seems to have become more down-to-earth since he got engaged, so why is he causing trouble again?

"What do you mean by causing trouble?" Yang Baoping was not happy when he heard this word, and his face immediately became stern.

"Qin Changjiang from the Qin family complained, saying that the brat had used some tricks to cheat his son and the Qian family out of a full 100 million pounds."

"One hundred million pounds?" Yang Wenfeng was shocked.

Wow, that’s 100 million pounds, which is equivalent to 1 billion RMB.

What's going on?

"Lao Zhuang said he called Ziqing and got to know the situation. He said that there was a final a few months ago. Our Ah Huan's team participated in the competition. A Spanish team from the Qin and Qian families also participated in the competition. Before the game, the boys from the Qin and Qian families went to force Ah Huan to make a bet, but they lost 100 million pounds and ran away."

Yang Wenfeng got angry when he heard this.

"Wow, they forced us to gamble, and then ran away after losing. When did the Qin and Qian families become so shameless?"

"Isn't it?" When Grandpa Yang was in the army, he was well-known for protecting his grandson. Now he is even more protective of his grandson. "But our Ah Huan is capable. He caught them in France and forced them to pay back the money."

"Yes, we have to force them. No, why don't we go to the Qin family and the Qian family? Are you afraid that they won't return it?" Yang Wenfeng was also filled with indignation.

Damn it, one hundred million pounds! How long will it take me to work hard to earn this one hundred million pounds?

Our kid is really capable. He just talked and got 100 million pounds.

"I heard that the two good-for-nothing guys were forced into a corner and sold the football team of their Qian Group in Spain. As a result, the Qin and Qian families were unhappy and felt that they were being cheated."

"I'm cheating his ancestors" Yang Wenfeng couldn't help but swear, "It's shameful to be willing to gamble and refuse to admit defeat"

"Lao Zhuang and I think so too. Lao Zhuang refuted it on the spot and told Qin Changjiang that if he had the ability, he should win it back himself. Don't cry pitifully behind his back after losing the bet. You're just a woman."

"Isn't it? If you have the ability, come and win it back." Yang Wenfeng also became excited.

"I don't think the Qin family kid is that brave."

At this point, Yang Baoping sighed and shook his head, saying: "The Qin family is getting weaker with each generation."

Who said it wasn’t?

Look at Qin Yongming, he is already an adult, but he has not achieved any results yet.

Look at our Ah Huan, who is younger than Qin Yongming, but has already made great contributions to the country.

It's true that people are better than others.

Yang Wenfeng suddenly understood something. "No wonder."

"What's the wonder?" Yang Baoping was a little curious.

"Aren't I going to Spain on a business trip soon?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Actually, I had no intention of making this trip, but Ah Huan sent me and Zhang Ning a message not long ago. He said that the Spanish real estate market has hit rock bottom and the government is about to launch a major rescue plan. Now is the best time to buy at the bottom."

"Spain?" Yang Baoping frowned. "Isn't that the hardest hit area in the European debt crisis?"

Hearing this, Yang Wenfeng immediately laughed.

"Dad, Spain is indeed a hard-hit area, but it is also the fourth most developed economy in Europe after the UK, Germany and France. In addition, in the past two years, the Spanish government has begun to relax policies and sell off state-owned assets to save the national economy. Many of them are high-quality assets."

Seeing his father nod to show that he understood, Yang Wenfeng smiled again.

"Besides, the worst-hit areas are better. The more serious the damage, the more severe the decline, which proves that the future development potential is greater. I heard that house prices in many places in Spain have fallen to half of the level before the European debt crisis, and countless investors around the world are waiting and watching."

"The government is currently negotiating cooperation with the Spanish government, and Spain is an important destination for Chinese overseas travel. Therefore, Huan and Zhang Ning's idea is to enter Spain to buy at the bottom and create a business system that caters specifically to Chinese tourists' travel consumption in Spain."

"It is said that the Spanish government will soon launch a Chinese market strategy to attract 300,000 Chinese tourists in 2013. Based on the average spending of 2,000 euros per Chinese overseas tourist, this is a consumer market of 600 million euros per year. And by 2015, it will reach 500,000, and by 2020, it will reach 1 million. This market is too big."

These are just Chinese tourists. Spain attracts 60 million tourists from all over the world every year. Based on an average spending of 1,000 euros, that’s 60 billion euros. Isn’t it amazing?

In recent years, Yang's Group has been transforming and striving to go abroad and keep pace with the world.

In the past, real estate business involved one-stop services including land acquisition, development, design, and operation. The advantage was huge returns, but the disadvantage was huge financial pressure and high risk.

But not now.

Currently, Yang's Real Estate cooperates with a number of domestic trust funds, which invest in and develop real estate projects. All assets belong to the investors. Yang's Group does not even participate in real estate sales, but is only responsible for management, investment promotion and operations. It then shares the rental income from the projects with the investors according to an agreed ratio.

In the past year, Yang Group's model has achieved huge success. Among domestic real estate companies, its transformation has been the most successful. It has signed cooperation plans with a number of trust funds for more than 30 commercial real estate projects across the country, with a total value of more than 40 billion yuan.

At the same time, the company is also actively going abroad to develop in Europe, the Middle East, the United States and other regions, and has achieved remarkable results.

The person who quietly pushed all this was Zhang Ning.

Yang Wenfeng had never thought that the thing he had been worrying about for so many years was now accomplished by a young girl. Although it was just getting started, as long as the Yang Group continued in the current direction, successful transformation was just around the corner.

Even if the Yang Group wanted to invest in Europe now, there would be no financial pressure at all.

On the one hand, the government strongly supports it, and on the other hand, trust funds are also willing to go abroad to buy at the bottom.

Just imagine, the price of Spanish real estate has dropped by half, plus the euro keeps depreciating, now is the time to buy at the bottom and make a fortune.

Yang Baoping didn't know much about business, but when he heard his son talk about it, he seemed to have great confidence in the company's future development prospects.

In the past few years, my precious grandson has been doing very well in Europe. Not only has he gained a great reputation, but he has also mixed into high society, hanging out with a bunch of princes and dukes. Even a British earl serves as his younger brother.

I heard from Lao Zhuang that once, even a European leader came to visit and praised Yang Huan with a thumbs up, which was a great honor for the country.

Just thinking about it makes me feel that the scenery is endless

"Okay, I'm old, and I don't understand these things of yours," Yang Baoping said with a smile.

"But, tell Ah Huan to go ahead and have fun without any worries. If the sky falls, we will support him."

Yang Wenfeng immediately laughed, "Dad, this brat doesn't stand being praised."

"Since Yu De is so outstanding, of course we should praise him. What's the problem?" Yang Baoping laughed.

Doesn't he understand his precious grandson yet?

But Yang Wenfeng soon thought of another person.

"Dad, look... Zhang Ning..."

This time even Yang Baoping fell silent.

It's really tricky.

The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is often the relationship between men and women.

Yang Huan is good in every way except for one thing: he has an affair with a woman.

"This girl is not only good-looking, but also has good character. More importantly, she is loyal to Ah Huan, but..."

Yang Wenfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, isn't it?

"Forget it, forget it. Things in this world are changing rapidly. Let the young people handle their own affairs. We shouldn't worry about them," Yang Baoping said very casually.

But what is the reality?

The father and son looked at each other and noticed the bitter smile in each other's eyes.

Even if they wanted to intervene, they couldn't.

Sometimes, having a successful child is not necessarily a good thing.

At the very least, don't expect to be able to interfere in his affairs. He won't listen to you.

But what they didn't know was that at this moment when they were talking, on the main road of Longhai City, Zhang Ning's cell phone rang as he sat in the back seat of a luxury car on his way to work.

Zhang Ning has two mobile phones, one for work and one for personal use.

What surprised her was that the phone that rang was the private phone.

But what shocked her even more, and even made her a little panicked, was that the incoming call number on her phone turned out to be...

Zhuang Ziqing

Why is she calling at this time?

What do you want from me?

What do you want to talk about?

Could it be... a showdown?

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Ning's mind in an instant, but in the end, she forced herself to suppress them.

He took another long look at his phone, swiped the screen, and answered the call.
