Chapter 448: Cool Travel
Yan Bugui drank a glass of wine and asked, "Old Third, we see that you are getting more and more idle. Where do you get all this money?"
Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and said, "It was all coincidence. One time was when I transferred assets last time. I liquidated all my assets in Hong Kong and withdrew from the Hong Kong market. The money was transferred to the United States. My American agent suggested that I invest the money in stocks, so I entrusted him. That was in the 1980s."
Yang Ruiping looked at Yan Jiekuang, who then continued, "Well, this time I integrated the assets left by Mrs. Wanzhi in the United States, so I sold all those stocks and ended my investment in the United States. I deposited all the funds in a Swiss bank. When I calculated, I found that there was so much money. I was shocked. This is all thanks to Ruier, oh, my American agent."
Yan Bugui patted his chest and said, "Do other people know about this?"
"Except Mrs. Wanzhi, no one should know about it. She also has some of the money there. The exact amount depends on the report." Yan Jiekuang said.
Yan Bugui stopped drinking and told Yan Jiekuang not to tell anyone, repeatedly warning him.
Finally, Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to say, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who shows off everywhere."
Yang Ruiping smiled and said, "I've known you were the smartest since childhood, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky. Others work their butts off but don't earn as much as you do."
Yan Bugui picked up the wine glass again and said, "Is that luck? That's a matter of vision. It shows that our San'er has a unique vision, whether it's looking at people or things."
"Okay, both of you stop praising me and let's just drink." Yan Jiekuang felt embarrassed by the praise.
On this autumn day, the three of them chatted and drank, and what they talked about most was family matters and the life and study of the third generation of children.
Yan Jiekuang also said with emotion: "Dad, I have actually been waiting for the third generation of our family to grow up. Only then will our Yan family begin to move towards becoming a wealthy family. Now we are accumulating experience and wealth. The market is not yet mature. If we expand too early, either the people will not be able to keep up, or the management will not be able to keep up. Let's wait a little longer."
It was not until today that Yan Bugui truly understood Yan Jiekuang's thoughts. Before this, he always thought that the third brother was a person who lived for the day and had no desire to make progress.
Yan Bugui's face was full of smiles, and he said, "Okay, then I'll just watch and see how things change in our family."
Yang Ruiping said: "I don't ask for anything. As long as the children are safe and live a happy life, that's good enough. We can't let them go through our hard times again."
Yan Jiekuang said: "Don't worry, it won't happen. The wheel of history will not turn back. It can only move forward, and it will get better and better."
When it was almost three o'clock, Yan Jiekuang packed up the dishes, left his parents' home, and walked slowly towards Yuer Hutong.
After resting for a while at home, Xiaohai and Xixi came back. Xiaohai threw his schoolbag into the study room and rode out on his mountain bike. Xixi was so angry that she went to the backyard to complain to Yan Jiekuang.
Yan Jiekuang said, "What's wrong? Isn't it almost holiday time? There's nothing to do. If he wants to go out and play, just let him go."
Xixi pouted and said, "He never takes me with him when he goes out. He always runs around the world with his friends."
Yan Jiekuang chuckled and said, "Our Xixi is a lady from a noble family. What are you thinking about playing with them?"
Xixi said aggrievedly: "My brothers and sisters are busy with their own things, and you are also busy with your own things. I am the only one left. I am so lonely."
Yan Jiekuang thought for a moment and said, "Don't mention it. This really wronged our little princess. So, tell me, what do you want to do? Can daddy accompany you?"
Xixi smiled and said, "I want to go to Sister Jingyi's place. I heard it's a lot of fun there."
Yan Jiekuang was stunned, then stood up and said, "This is too outrageous. This eldest brother runs around everywhere every day without even taking care of his sister. Let's go find Shi Lei tomorrow and ask him to take care of you."
When Xixi heard this, she smiled happily and skipped back to her room.
In the evening, not many people came back home, only Xiaohai and Dapang came back, as well as Jilian and Yan Jiekuang. Today, they cooked noodles, fried meat sauce, and prepared some other ingredients. They also cut a plate of braised beef and a plate of pork liver, all braised.
Dapang didn't say a word while eating. Yan Jiekuang and his wife looked a little abnormal. After the meal, Dapang took the initiative to find them.
It turned out that the school wanted him to go abroad to participate in a mechanical design competition, but he was a little hesitant because if he went, he might miss this year's senior engineer examination. But if he didn't go, this competition was also very important to him and the school. It could prove that his major was world-class and was also an honor, so he was a little torn.
He came back and thought for a long time, then came to ask for his parents' opinions. Yan Jiekuang looked at Da Pang and said, "Why is this so similar to Yongxin's case? It's an exam. If you didn't take it this year, you can take it next year. But you may only have one chance to compete. Which is easier or harder? Do you need to say it?"
Ji Lian also said: "Yes, Boss, let me tell you, this kind of honor is rare, you have to fight for it, why are you still hesitating." After listening, Dapang thought carefully and said: "Okay, I will go, but I have no money. I have used my living expenses and scholarship to buy books."
Yan Jiekuang waved his hand and said, "Your father doesn't have much of anything except a lot of money. Don't worry, you don't have to worry about these things. Your parents are here to take care of it."
Dapang finally let go of his inner struggle, returned to normal, and went back to his studio.
The next day, after breakfast, Ji Lian, Xiao Hai and Dapang left first. After Yan Jiekuang packed up, he took Xixi to Houhai.
Xixi was quite puzzled. Didn't he say he was going to visit his elder brother? Why did he come to Houhai? So he asked, "Dad, aren't we going to Tsinghua University?"
Yan Jiekuang said, "We have to drive there. This is the only car I have left. If we don't drive it, how can we get there?"
When Xixi heard this, she became even happier. The family seldom rode in that car. When they arrived at the courtyard house in Houhai, Yan Jiekuang opened the door and took Xixi around it. Seeing that there was nothing different, he went to the garage and drove out his blue Porsche.
As soon as the car appeared in the alley, the neighbors in the alley made a commotion. They didn't know that there was a luxury car in this courtyard house that was closed all year round.
Yan Jiekuang locked the garage door, then took Xixi and drove out of the alley and headed straight for Tsinghua University.
When he arrived at the gate of Tsinghua University, Yan Jiekuang regretted his decision. This car attracted too many people. Passers-by and students from Tsinghua University all circled around it.
Yan Jiekuang quickly called Shi Lei, telling him that they couldn't stay here for too long. Shi Lei took the call, put down what he was doing, and drove out quickly.
Yan Jiekuang said, "Xixi, that's enough. Get in his car and let your elder brother take you there."
"No, I want to take your car. Your car is cool. Take me there and then you go." Xixi said coquettishly.
Shi Lei looked at the two people in the car and asked, "Where are you going? Why are you two driving this car?"
Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Is there another car I can drive? Your sister misses Jingyi, hurry up."
Shi Lei got into his car reluctantly and drove in front, while Yan Jiekuang drove behind. This made him look even cooler and attracted a lot of attention along the way.
When they arrived at the entrance of Dongmianhua Hutong, Xixi got out of the car reluctantly. Yan Jiekuang drove away without even looking back.
Yan Jiekuang was driving the car and thought to himself that he should send the car back as it would attract too much attention. So Yan Jiekuang drove the car back to the courtyard house in Houhai.
As soon as he parked his car and entered the yard, he heard a knock on the door. Yan Jiekuang didn't come to this yard often, so he didn't know who was knocking. He opened the side door and saw two young people standing at the door. They looked like a couple. The man smiled and said, "Hello, I'm your neighbor next door, and this is my girlfriend. We saw that you have a Porsche. Can we take a look?"
His girlfriend said in a coquettish tone: "Uncle, please, your car is so beautiful, we just want to take a look."
Yan Jiekuang said: "Okay, follow me."
Yan Jiekuang closed the gate and took the two to the back door of the garage in the yard. He opened the door and turned on the lights in the garage. The two shouted and surrounded the car to look at it. Yan Jiekuang said, "It's okay. Don't be so reserved. It's just a car. You can get in and take a look."
The two young men got on the car, looked here and touched there, as if they were seeing their favorite toys.
After looking at it for a while, the two of them felt a little embarrassed and got out of the car. The woman said, "Uncle, this is very expensive, right?"
"Well, it is a bit expensive. It was custom-made from abroad two years ago. The final cost should be more than 500,000 US dollars." Yan Jiekuang said.
The two young men showed surprised expressions, but the man said: "Uncle, I'm not saying anything, I'm just reminding you, there are a lot of people in this area now, there are all kinds of people, it's not safe for you to stay here, and besides, many people know today that there is a car in this house, you have to be careful."
Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder. I will drive the car away today."
The two men said goodbye. Yan Jiekuang thought about what the boy said, so he drove out again and headed straight for Fangshan. He planned to stop in the territory of the big king and the small king.
