Chapter 514: Making money? Hahahaha
As the saying goes, a person may not have ability but he must have luck.
The former is not necessarily important.
The latter is absolutely indispensable.
The small-scale business has not yet begun, and the sky in Hong Kong, apart from being affected by the typhoon, is now completely shrouded in gloom.
News from oil countries like the passage of locusts.
Eat wherever you go, without leaving anything out.
The last oil crisis was five years ago, and now it’s coming back again.
Oil-producing countries have reduced production or even stopped exporting oil due to the turmoil.
This caused crude oil, which was priced at $13 per barrel, to surge to $33.
Nearly 3 times growth.
Many shipping and freight companies of all sizes in the port city that were ill-informed suffered a fatal blow.
For a time, the only three British banks in Hong Kong Island were busy with loan business.
But these cold buildings can only add icing on the cake and will never provide timely help.
Whatever wind blows through Hong Kong will naturally not blow through Macau.
Villa in the suburbs of Australia.
Ding Li had been hiding from the limelight at his uncle's house for more than 20 days and was really bored.
He swam back and forth in the swimming pool for several laps and only came ashore when he felt a little exhausted.
The biological mother, Ms. Huo, was lazily basking in the sun on a lawn chair.
Ding Li wiped the water off his body with a towel, paying attention to hitting his mother, "Beautiful Ms. Nina, can you help me ask my father for mercy?"
Huo Nina has not yet reconciled with her husband, so she certainly won't agree to be a peacemaker.
She only picked up other reasons and said, "It rains all year round in Northern Europe, even every day. Sunshine and good weather like this are simply not seen."
"You can't even stay here for vacation. If I send you there, you will know how good the Australian city is."
“…”
Seeing that this approach didn't work, Ding Li didn't bother talking to his mother who was hard-hearted and tough-hearted. He wrapped himself in a towel and went inside to make a phone call.
It took two calls to get through.
"Hello, is this Dad?"
"I'm not your father, I'm Ding Qiming." The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone said unhappily.
"The necklace incident has just died down. I sent your brother to South Asia when you called me. The news is quite accurate."
Ding Qiming didn't want to answer the phone at first, guessing it must be his son, but he couldn't help but hold on to hope. As expected, it wasn't Nina who was fighting with him.
Ding Li had expected this to happen, and lied boldly, "Dad, Mommy said she missed you, and she wanted to eat the noodle soup from that tea restaurant."
Ding Qiming didn't believe it. "Oh? You missed me? Then why didn't your mom call you herself? What did she want you to tell her?"
"If you don't believe me, forget it. I'm hanging up."
Ding Li leaned back on the sofa with his long legs resting on the footstool, pretending to answer the phone while glancing at the swimming pool outside from the corner of his eye.
"Wait...your mommy really said she missed me?"
Ding Qiming did not continue to act pretentiously. He followed his son's lead and said, "Next Monday, I will send someone to pick up your mom. Please protect her well."
Afraid that his wife would not come to Hong Kong, he had no choice but to take his son with him.
But he was worried that he would continue to harass a married woman, so Ding Qiming raised his voice.
"I'm warning you, don't mess with that woman. If you ruin my business, I'll skin you alive. No one else's words will matter then."
Ding Li laughed silently and raised his head lazily, "What woman? I don't understand."
"Heh." Ding Qiming snorted coldly, "Take good care of your mommy."
"Got it, old man."
No one knows a son better than his father. Ding Qiming sighed again, "Li Zai, don't provoke the Zhong family. Dad is doing this for your own good. If it were in the past, I would definitely not care, but not this time.
"Since you were little, your father has always given you everything you wanted. Listen to your father this time and don't let a woman put you off for the sake of important things."
"Your eldest brother regards you as an enemy. Who will protect you when I am gone?"
"You have been in poor health and soft-tempered since childhood, so Daddy naturally favors you more.
A Yan has the support of his uncle, who is a senior member of the gang. I will help pave the way for you.
From now on, you and he will be on your own side, and neither of you will be bothered. You don't need to give in to him, just being clear about the difference is enough."
…
Ding Qiming's fatherly love is obvious, which is why Ding Li has never really confronted Ding Yan. He doesn't want to make things difficult for his father.
Ding Li licked his lower lip with the tip of his tongue, "You are so long-winded. You will definitely live a long life."
"Mr. Ding Qiming, Ms. Huo Nina really misses you. She eats very little every day."
Having a pair of stubborn parents also gives him a headache.
They didn't talk or see each other for months because of a small matter, but she tried to get information out of him in a roundabout way.
"Please persuade her a little."
...
Dark and sad clouds gathered over the sky.
The cold wind makes people feel chilly.
Even the port city without winter feels like winter has arrived.
The port city, which relies on imports, has seen its transportation costs soar as oil prices have tripled.
Who can accept a 100% price increase in just three days?
Salaries didn't increase, but prices doubled.
In dire straits, Sun Fei was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.
The money she had just scraped together was enough to pay off the high medical expenses with some left over, and she could barely make ends meet with her monthly salary.
But prices have doubled and her salary is not enough to cover the family's basic expenses.
Mr. Sun had just undergone surgery and needed to recover and recuperate, so his diet must be good. Mrs. Sun took care of her husband in the hospital every day, so naturally she couldn't work.
Their family has just survived the most difficult time, and they absolutely cannot fail at this critical juncture.
In front of family, everything else takes a back seat.
Without thinking twice, Sun Fei mailed a file bag containing a detailed itinerary and information to an address.
From the moment she agreed to do these things in the first place, it seemed that there was no turning back.
Sun Fei now just wants to stay with Yang Yuhao for a longer time. How can she eliminate Lu Peirong's hostility towards her?
...
The Zhong family in Mid-Levels.
The European-style house surrounded by jasmine flowers is like an exquisite woman wearing a necklace.
Except for a few more holes, the glass botanical garden still has the same green and lively scenery.
Lin Yiyi looked at the business plan on the shelf and decided to be a model herself like she did before to attract attention.
Then accumulate little by little from small to large, and finally do some private customization.
She is surrounded by a lot of rich ladies and famous girls. It would be best if she could wear the dresses she makes and be in the newspapers, but it is probably a bit difficult.
Lin Yiyi modified the clothes in her wardrobe and matched them with different accessories.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I get perfect marks for appearance, perfect marks for figure, and 80 marks for dressing.
For test effect.
She decided to test the waters first by going to a place where there were many people of her age.
That day, Lin Yiyi drove to Hong Kong University early. She did not sit in the car waiting for Zhong Jiasheng like she did before.
Instead, she got out of the car and went to the gate. She wanted to attract attention, so she had to pose a little artificially.
Soon it attracted a lot of attention.
Zhong Jiasheng strode out with his bag on his back. He knew that Lin Yiyi was waiting for him in the parking lot, and he didn't pay any attention to anything else.
"Look, look, there's a beautiful woman in front of us, but she seems a little bit mentally unstable.
Why is she wearing such beautiful jewelry outside her black gauze tight sleeves? And the white gauze scarf around her neck is so tacky. "
"But she has a great figure. Most people would look like a python coming out of a hole if they wore this tight black gauze skirt, but her figure is perfectly curvy."
"She seems to be Master Zhong's girlfriend? Why does she suddenly seem a little mentally ill, pacing back and forth on the steps."
