Chapter 230 How to Live Happily
Chapter 230 How to Live Happily
The three brothers chatted for a few minutes and were about to leave.
Several Wenzhou bosses came back, but were blocked by middlemen.
The people in the county were not very satisfied: "We told you to have a good talk, why did the talks break down again?"
The Wenzhou boss shirked responsibility: "They are not sincere."
Jiang Hua was too lazy to explain: "There is no way to talk, they want too much."
The middleman frowned and said, "The county is very optimistic about this project. The second boss has asked about it several times. This is related to the county's industrial layout. How can we treat it as a joke? You continue to talk. There must be a result today."
Jiang Hua said: "Then I'll give it up, one million."
The Wenzhou boss said: "One million is definitely not enough."
Both sides insisted on their own opinions and neither was willing to give in.
The middleman listened for a while, then looked at the Wenzhou boss and said, "That's enough. Some things are known to everyone. Is there any need to say it out loud? To be honest, with your current progress, the county will definitely take back the land after the end of the year. It's good enough to get back the deposit. It would be a bit greedy to ask for more."
The Wenzhou boss looked unhappy: "We must always abide by the law when doing things."
The middleman said, "It's because of the law that the county let you guys negotiate on your own. Otherwise, the land would be taken back directly. Why are you still wasting time here? It's clearly written in the contract that you must see results within three years, otherwise the county will take back the land. Don't you know what the current situation of those pieces of land is? Do you need me to tell you?"
……
Europe is not interesting in winter, but it is pretty good in summer.
Jiang Ning flew to Switzerland with his family.
I got off the plane in the early morning and arrived at the hotel at one o'clock.
Because of the time difference, the little guy won’t go to bed until a certain time.
I played with him for two hours and didn't go to bed until after three o'clock.
As expected, everyone stayed in bed the next day.
Jiang Ning got up at eight o'clock without waking up his wife and children.
Went to the restaurant with Winder for breakfast.
Wend didn't have the chance to ask yesterday, but today he couldn't wait: "Boss, are those two beautiful ladies your wives?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Of course."
Wend looked incredulous: "God, how did you get two ladies to marry you together?"
Jiang Ning said: "Because I'm your boss."
Winder really wanted to say "shit" to express his dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.
But I still held back.
Americans speak bluntly, but they are not brainless.
Winder spread his hands: "Okay, this answer makes sense."
"I'm just kidding."
Jiang Ning changed his tone. This was a matter concerning his wife's reputation. He could joke around but he couldn't let anyone misunderstand him. He was also happy to share with others, so he told her about his family's situation.
Wend was dumbfounded and said after a while: "Ms. Feng Yu is so great."
Jiang Ning said: "Dude, can you use the word great casually?"
Winder had a clear idea: "Boss, there are many elements that define greatness, such as a noble spirit of self-sacrifice and a generous spirit of tolerance. Ms. Feng Yu's self-sacrifice for her family is great in my opinion. Maybe there are other women in the world who are willing to share men with others, but I have never seen them. Of course, those who do it for money do not count."
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
Winder said enviously: "Boss, do you have any women like this in China? Introduce one to me!"
Jiang Ning was happy: "Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you later."
Winder said seriously: "It's a promise."
"What the hell!"
Jiang Ning said angrily: "Chinese women are also human beings. Do you think all Chinese women are like my wife? What are you dreaming about? Instead of having such unrealistic dreams, you might as well pray to God to bless you with wealth."
Winder was very regretful: "I knew it."
As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, Aris came over.
Knowing that Jiang Ning was coming to Switzerland, the young man was very enthusiastic.
He was the one who arranged the car that picked us up at the airport yesterday.
However, Aris's purpose is obviously not simple.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to say, "Sir, so you have two wives!"
Jiang Ning nodded: "That's right."
Aris asked curiously, "What does it feel like to have two wives? Do they usually quarrel because of jealousy? If this happens, how does the gentleman solve this problem?"
Jiang Ning said: "They are sisters, there is no need to be jealous."
Aris didn't understand: "Wouldn't sisters be jealous? Your logic seems to be flawed."
Winder couldn't help it, so he told him about the situation at his boss's home.
Aris was stunned: "So that's how it is."
Jiang Ning said: "What else do you think?"
Aris said: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Jiang Ning didn't ask him what he misunderstood, he knew it without thinking.
Aris smacked his lips: "Sir, you are so happy."
Jiang Ning asked: "Are you envious?"
Aris didn't hide it: "Of course."
Jiang Ning said: "With your family background, it shouldn't be difficult to marry two wives."
Aris said helplessly: "Sir, that's different. Money can buy a woman's heart, but it can't buy love."
Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs up. This young man was still as innocent as ever.
After breakfast, I went back to the room to discuss things with Wend.
Aris is naive, but he is not stupid.
After making an appointment to have lunch with the host, he just left.
Winder made a cup of coffee and said, "Boss, Ms. Reinhardt's people contacted me yesterday."
Jiang Ning asked: "Which Reinhardt?"
Winder said: "The one from Australia."
Jiang Ning was a little surprised: "Why did that lady's people contact you?"
Winder said: "That lady probably wants to cooperate with you to mine the Kasoto gold mine."
Jiang Ning was even more surprised: "Has the news spread?"
Winder nodded and said, "In fact, since the gold was shipped to London, the news has spread. The wealth of the Kasoto Gold Mine has definitely made those mining giants jealous. I think Ms. Rhinehart is not the first one who wants to cooperate with the boss."
Jiang Ning asked, "Aren't you in the coal and iron mines business? Are you also interested in gold mines?"
Winder said: "That lady's mining territory is not only coal and iron mines, but also gold mines."
Jiang Ning nodded and thought about it.
Winder asked: "Boss, do you want to cooperate with others in development?"
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "We can talk about it. Let's see what conditions the other party will offer."
Winder nodded: "I understand."
Jiang Ning asked: "Have you found out the reserves?"
Winder said: "No, that gold mine is too surprising. The previous exploration results have all been overturned. Professionals are conducting large-scale exploration work, but conservatively estimated that the Kasoto gold mine should be a super gold mine that is no less than South Dee, and the gold grade is far higher than those super gold mines. Those mining giants will definitely be jealous."
Jiang Ning asked: "What do you think?"
Winder thought for a moment and said, "Boss, it will be very troublesome if we are targeted by those mining giants. I think it would be a wise choice to find a powerful ally to cooperate in development. This way, we can avoid a lot of trouble."
Jiang Ning readily agreed: "Your suggestion is very correct."
Winder perked up: "Boss, what do you want from a partner?"
Jiang Ning said: "It must be a mining giant with sufficient influence. Those with average strength can be ignored. If those mining giants come to you, you should be responsible for negotiating first and see what conditions they will offer."
Winder nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I'm familiar with this."
Jiang Ning is not opposed to cooperating with others. Gold is of no use to him.
If you have none, go pick up some where gold is hidden.
The only use is to convert gold into US dollars that can be used to buy land.
As long as it can be converted into cash quickly, it doesn’t matter whether it is mined in cooperation with others or mortgaged to a bank for a loan.
We discussed for more than an hour.
I went back to the room and saw that my wife and children were still sleeping.
I went out for a walk with Wend.
The sun is scorching in Texas, but it is still cool and pleasant in Zurich.
After walking around for an hour, Feng Yu called.
When they returned to the hotel, they were already up.
The daughter also woke up and started to compete with her mother again.
She is not wearing any clothes, waiting for her dad to put them on.
I had just finished dressing the little guy when Aris called.
After washing up, Jiang Ning took his family to the banquet.
Aris has no wife, so he brought his mother with him.
Amyra shook hands with Jiang Ning: "You are such a lucky guy."
"Thank you!"
Jiang Ning understood what he meant and introduced both parties.
The last time I came, Feng Xue hid in the hotel and didn't go out.
This was also the first time I met Amyra.
Feng Yu was fine, but Feng Xue was not used to such occasions.
After greeting them, they came to the table and poured drinks.
Amyra asked Jiang Ning: "Are you coming to Switzerland to travel with your family or for other things?"
Jiang Ning said, "I've been spending money like water lately, so I want to borrow some more money."
Amyra asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
Jiang Ning said: "The more the better. It would be best if we could borrow 5 billion euros."
Amyra seemed surprised: "You know this is impossible."
Jiang Ning asked: "How much can I borrow?"
Amyra said: "This requires assets to be mortgaged. Your farm has already been mortgaged."
Jiang Ning said: "I also have a gold mine. You know the gold mine in Kasoto. That gold mine is very valuable."
Amyra shook her head. "If your gold mine is in Europe, the United States or Australia, there will be banks willing to cooperate with you. But forget about Africa. No financial institution is willing to take on such a huge risk."
Jiang Ning said: "No one can take away my gold mine."
“Financial institutions won’t believe it,” Amyra said with a smile.
"All right!"
Jiang Ning spread his hands and asked, "Madam, how much can you lend me at most?"
Amyra said: "The most I can do is to help you borrow another 100 million euros."
The two communicated in English, but they spoke very quickly.
Feng Yu could understand part of it, but some of the words were very unfamiliar and he couldn't understand them either.
Although Feng Xue can't speak, he can listen.
I can understand some of it.
Aris had been peeking at the two of them.
Jiang Ning chatted with his mother for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked him, "Hey man, why do you always peek at my wife?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry!"
Aris was quite embarrassed, but he still explained honestly: "The temperaments of the two ladies are very special, so I am very curious."
Winder wanted to laugh, but he held it back.
Jiang Ning asked, "What's so special about my wife's temperament?"
Aris gestured: "I don't know how to describe it. The two ladies have a very special temperament that I have never seen in other women before. This temperament is very attractive." Winder nodded quickly. What he said was so true.
Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs up and said, "You have good taste, but you are not allowed to have any ideas about my wife."
Aris shook his head quickly: "Of course not."
After lunch and chatting for a while, Ms. Amira left first.
Aris and Winder accompanied Jiang Ning's family to go shopping. There was actually not much to see in Zurich. Apart from shopping, they could only look at the old buildings. Feng Yu and Feng Xue were not interested in luxury goods, so there were even fewer places to visit.
We strolled around until five o'clock and then sent them back to the hotel.
Jiang Ning went to attend the evening event.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue didn't want to go, and he didn't force them.
When Amyra saw that he didn't bring any weapons with him, she asked, "Why don't you bring your wife?"
Jiang Ning said: "They don't like this kind of socializing, I respect their choice."
Amyra was puzzled: "Did we do anything offensive?"
"nonono!"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "Madam, don't get me wrong. This has nothing to do with you. My wife doesn't like this kind of socializing, and it's not convenient to bring the children with her. It's a good idea to let them solve their own dinner in the hotel."
Amyra suddenly realized, "So that's it!"
After lunch, I went to the cocktail party.
Amyra introduced him to some friends.
Either they are in finance or they are in the gold and jewelry business.
These people were all very interested in him, of course not because of his skin color, but because of his gold. Only a beautiful lady in her thirties was interested in him as a person, and her focus was different from others.
Not asking him about his fitness plan.
Just ask him how he maintains his figure.
Jiang Ning dealt with it for a while before asking Amyra, "Ma'am, can you do me a small favor?"
Amyra asked, "What favor?"
Jiang Ning said: "I want to buy some land in Ukraine. Madam, do you have any good suggestions?"
Amyra was quite surprised: "Why do you want to acquire land in Ukraine?"
Jiang Ning spread his hands and said, "You should know that I am engaged in agriculture. Ukraine has the best agricultural conditions. The black soil there is very suitable for growing crops. I heard that Ukraine has liberalized land transactions, so I want to get some land."
Amira asked, "Are you a miner or a farmer?"
Jiang Ning said: "My dream is to become the largest landlord in the world. Mining is just a sideline."
“Very big dream!”
Amyra gave him a thumbs up and looked regretful: "It's a pity that I can't help you."
Jiang Ning asked: "Do you know any members of Xiao Mao's cabinet? You can introduce them to me."
Amyra shook her head: "It's useless for you to look for those people, but there is someone who can help you."
Jiang Ning humbly asked, "Who are you talking about, ma'am?"
Amyra said, "Sanna, she is familiar with the driver, you can ask her for help."
Jiang Ning said helplessly: "Madam, I have only met Ms. Sana once, and I don't have any contact information. It seems inappropriate to ask her for help rashly. Can you help me with this?"
Amyra smiled and said, "Of course, she is attending a fashion show at the Expo in Paris now. I will go with you to see her, but it will take a few days because I have several important meetings to attend."
"No problem at all."
As long as Jiang Ning is in a good mood and is willing to help, that's good enough.
It's reasonable to wait a few days.
When we returned to the hotel at night, Feng Yu and Feng Xue were still awake.
The little guy wasn't asleep either, he was having fun playing with his mom.
Feng Yu asked him: "How long will we stay in Switzerland?"
Jiang Ning said, "We have to wait for a few days. In a few days, I will go to Italy with Amyra to meet a woman."
Feng Yu grasped the key word: "Woman?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "She's a woman, she's almost forty years old."
Feng Yu said "oh" and lost interest: "Do you need someone to do something for you?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "That woman is very powerful, she is the former Prime Minister of Finland. I know her. I saw her the last time I came here."
Feng Xue nodded.
Feng Yu was surprised: "Prime Minister of Finland?"
Jiang Ning said: "Yes, isn't it surprising?"
Feng Yu didn't care about these things either, and nodded: "It's really surprising, a woman can be the prime minister?"
Jiang Ning said: "It's Merck, isn't it?"
Feng Yu said again: "I forgot, why are you looking for the Prime Minister of Finland?"
Jiang Ning said: "If you want to buy land in Ukraine, you need to find someone who can speak with you to help you."
Feng Yu was surprised again: "Isn't there a war going on there?"
Jiang Ning said, "The war is fought on the front line, and it will not affect agricultural production in the interior. Ukraine is the granary of Europe and has the most fertile black soil in the world, which is most suitable for developing agriculture. The land used to be state-owned, but now the war has caused a lot of debts. The land transaction is open to pay off the debts. Many European and American investors are taking the opportunity to grab land. I want to try to see if there is a chance to get a piece of land."
Feng Yu was a little worried: "The war isn't even over yet, aren't you afraid of being cheated?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "The war will eventually end. It won't keep going on forever. As long as the land is in my hands, no one in this world can cheat me. Whoever dares to take my land, I will send him to see God."
Feng Yu was uneasy: "Can you please stop talking about this? I'm a little scared."
Jiang Ning hugged her and comforted her, "I won't talk about it anymore. Don't worry about these things. Just live happily. I will protect you from the strong wind and heavy rain outside, and save more money for the children."
Feng Yu nodded and stopped thinking about these things.
I played with the little one until half past nine and finally went to bed.
Jiang Ning took a shower and slept alone.
Feng Yu and Feng Xue were sleeping, and the little guy was very restless when he slept at night.
The bed in the hotel has no guardrails, so you will roll under the bed.
It takes two people to look after it, one on each side and one in the middle.
Jiang Ning can only sleep alone.
I took my family out for a few days and drove to Stuttgart.
It’s about 200 kilometers and it only takes two hours to drive there.
Going abroad in Europe is no different from going from a county to a city in your hometown.
Wendt didn't stay in Europe for long and went home to visit his family.
He is only responsible for the gold mining business, and agriculture has nothing to do with him.
After waiting for a few days, Amyra finished her work.
So I flew to Paris.
Jiang Ning didn't have a very good impression of Paris, but the public hygiene was still good.
The main reason is that there are too many black spots, making people feel like they are in Kinshasa.
Paris was very lively in May as it was the 120th Paris International Exposition. There were so many people and the streets were full of black men that the security situation became very bad. Jiang Ning didn't dare to leave his wife and children alone and had to bring them with him.
After settling in the hotel, Amyra made an appointment to meet Sana.
The location is a club, and all the people coming and going are celebrities.
Sana arrived as promised, alone.
No boyfriend.
It is said that there is a male companion, and Amyra said she has something serious to discuss.
I didn't bring my friends here.
"Ma'am, long time no see."
Jiang Ning shook her hand. The woman was dressed in flashy clothes.
Looks a bit old.
Sana smiled and responded: "Long time no see."
Jiang Ning also smiled and praised: "The lady's clothes are really beautiful."
Sana perked up a little: "Really? I think this skirt is very nice too."
Amyra clapped her hands: "Okay, you two sit down and talk."
The two of them took their seats.
Amyra asked about the exhibition and chatted for a while.
Then he got down to business: "I'll find you a part-time job, are you interested?"
Sana asked, "What job?"
Amyra said, "Jiang Ning wants to buy some land in Ukraine. How about you be his consultant?"
Sana looked surprised and asked Jiang Ning: "Do you want to buy land in Ukraine?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "I have this idea, are you interested in helping me?"
Sana said bluntly: "How much are you going to pay me?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Madam, you are not short of money. Talking about money is a bit vulgar. Why don't you make a request and I will see if I can do it?"
Sana clapped her hands and said, "You are such an interesting person, but the war in Ukraine is not over yet. You are Chinese, so even if you get the land in Ukraine, there are still certain risks. Aren't you afraid that Wulonglan will turn against you?"
Jiang Ning said nicely: "That's why I asked the lady to help me. As long as the lady is willing to help me, this is not a problem."
Sana laughed heartily: "Okay, I admit that you are really a very interesting person."
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "I think so too. Madam, can you do me a small favor?"
Sana thought for a moment and said, "I need to think about it."
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry either. Such a thing could not be decided just by meeting in person.
It is definitely something I need to consider, and I will probably have to ask Amira about myself.
Back at the hotel, the little one was crying.
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Why are you crying?"
Feng Yu looked helpless: "He was shouting to go swimming!"
Feng Xue also had a helpless look on his face, obviously he couldn't do anything about the little guy.
There are too many people on the street, especially many black people.
Neither of them dared to go out without the man.
Jiang Ning immediately expressed his opinion: "Let's go, I'll go out and play with you guys."
So I packed up and took the little one out.
Jiang Ning held his daughter, with Feng Yu and Feng Xue holding one on each side.
Walk on both sides of him.
During the Paris exhibition, the flow of people is much greater than usual.
Foreigners focus on living freely. Regardless of age or gender, they will pursue happiness and live happily if they have the chance. There are people performing arts, folk dancing, singing, and so on in the streets. In short, there are all kinds of people.
There are even some that are just funny to attract attention.
Adults live like children.
Feng Yu was amazed: "These foreigners are really living a comfortable life."
Jiang Ning said: "With high income, good benefits and no pressure in life, of course you can live your life to your heart's content."
Feng Yu was a little envious: "If people in my hometown had high incomes and good benefits, they could live so comfortably."
Jiang Ning just laughed and could only say that that day would come.
The exhibition was held at the exhibition center at the Porte de Versailles, and there were even more people nearby.
Jiang Ning was looking around.
Feng Yu suddenly poked him: "Look over there, that woman looks familiar."
Jiang Ning looked in the direction she pointed and saw a fellow villager.
It does look familiar, so I took a closer look.
Recognized.
