reshape life

At the end of December of this year, brother Lu Chi will travel across the Atlantic Ocean to report at Stanford University.

Although the eldest son has lived in the county middle school since he was in junior high school, and lived in the high school attached to Yanda University for a year when he was in high school, it is the first time in 18 years that he left Huaxia to go to a foreign country to study.Lu's father and Lu's mother didn't know how to prepare Lu Chi's luggage, and they heard that foreign devils only eat Western food. They were afraid that Lu Chi would not be used to eating and living outside, so they simply prepared a few big bags for Lu Chi. I have prepared a bank card with 20 in deposit.

However, Lu's father and Lu's mother received the bank card that Lu Chi gave them at the dinner table before they had time to hand over the bank card to Lu Chi.

"...This is the money I earned from working part-time in the office for more than half a year, and I kept a part of it as living expenses." Brother Lu Chi pushed the bank card in front of Lu's mother, and said with a smile: "The password is six six."

Lu's father and Lu's mother looked at big brother Lu Chi with a look of emotion, and pushed the bank card over: "Since it is the money you earn from part-time work, keep your own pocket money. Parents can still make money, and the family is not short of money. It is you For myself, the first time I went abroad to study, there is an old saying, a thousand days are easy at home, a day is a year when you go out, and if you have more money in your pocket, you can feel more at ease in your heart."

Then he handed the bank card he had prepared to Lu Chi: "Your mother and I have saved 20 yuan in the card, you spend it first, if it is not enough, let us ask for it, and don't treat yourself harshly when you go out."

"It's really unnecessary." Lu Chi smiled and pushed the two bank cards over, "When I was working part-time in the firm, I was led by the team leader to do several big projects, and I earned a total of more than 13 yuan including salary and bonus. After that, I learned to trade in stocks with a colleague. I didn’t expect that I was very lucky and earned more than 70 yuan... This time I went to Stanford to study, and the firm also introduced me to a part-time job in the M country branch. The salary will be higher than here A little, so don't worry, I shouldn't be short of money."

Lu's father and Lu's mother knew that Lu Chi had been an intern at an international accounting firm since he graduated from high school, and also knew that Lu Chi was quite valued by the firm.But I didn't know that Lu Chi made so much money without making a sound. Lu Heng, who was sitting next to Lu Chi, looked at his elder brother with bright eyes, and said enviously: "Brother, you actually made so much money trading in stocks, hello! sharp."

Lu Chi smiled slightly, and said shyly, "It's not that great. It's just that I'm very lucky. I haven't lost money on the stocks I bought so far."

until!now!for!end!without!have!pay!Pass!

Brother Lu Chi said that the cloud is calm and the wind is light, but he envied Lu Heng who bought whatever he paid for in his previous life.

It's not just a matter of luck!

Lu Heng put down the bowls and chopsticks, clasped his fists and looked at his brother adoringly, brazenly and coquettishly said: "Brother is tired, brother is awesome, please take me to pretend to fly~~"

Lu's father shuddered and hit Lu Heng on the head: "What are you talking about!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at his eldest son with a worried face: "Isn't that stock trading just gambling? I heard that many people get rich overnight and go bankrupt overnight. It's terrible. You must not fall into it."

Lu's mother's point of view is consistent with Lu's father.The eldest son went abroad to study, and the unfamiliar place would go so far. The two originally planned to give his son some extra pocket money, but they were immediately worried when they heard that their son was actually trading stocks like others.

Lu's mother took back the two bank cards very simply, and said directly: "I will take care of this money for you with your dad. After the Chinese New Year, I will go outside with your dad to look at the house and buy it for you." A house is ready."

Lu's father and mother's financial management concepts are very traditional and conservative, with Chinese farmers' obsession with land and real estate.I think that buying a house and land is the most valuable if you have money.Lu's parents and mothers don't understand the rest of the stocks and funds, and they are not interested at all.The two of them would rather put their money in the bank than buy these unreliable things.

Lu's mother also advised Lu Heng: "Don't mess around with your brother. Your brother made some money by chance, but how can such a thing as luck last his whole life? Stocks are such things. If you make money today, you will lose it tomorrow. You are not allowed to lose everything any day. You are all brothers in your own family. Of course you are happy if you make a profit, but whoever loses it. I don’t want you two brothers to feel uncomfortable because of money. "

Father Lu also nodded in agreement, and seconded: "That's right, stock trading is not a business. If you really lose money, you don't know how to pay it. If you burn too much money, we will buy it after the new year." The house. Anyway, after buying the house, it can’t be left there, and even if it’s not inhabited, it can be rented out to collect rent, which is much more reliable than stock speculation.”

In the end, he still persuaded Lu Chi worriedly: "If you really like stock trading, you can use some pocket money to play and pass the time. Anyway, small gambling is fun, but you can't indulge in it. Our old Lu family does not support this kind of thing of getting something for nothing. .”

Brother Lu Chi nodded with a wry smile, he knew his parents' attitude would be like this.So when I opened the account, I didn't tell my parents at all.However, for some things, blindly evading and perfunctory is not the solution to the problem, so Lu Chi chooses to have a showdown with his parents after making money in stocks.Although parents may not understand him, but explaining to parents after making achievements is much better than imagining the future with enthusiasm.

"...Actually, we have to prepare a lot for stock trading. We need to collect a lot of information in advance to judge the potential of the stock. We must also pay attention to the country's policies and even the business capabilities of the company's traders. Only by combining these factors can we be accurate. Judging the development potential of a company. Like our firm, we usually undertake the financial audit work of many listed companies, so we will have a judgment on the general strength and future development direction of these companies. In addition, I am doing auditing and financial auditing. In the process of reporting, you can also get in touch with many customers and have the opportunity to learn a lot of inside information, so you won’t lose money in stocks.”

Lu Chi tried his best to explain the process of his stock trading in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Lu's father and mother Lu understood it, and said quickly: "That means that when you trade in stocks, you actually have inside information. You only buy when you know which stocks will rise. ?”

"Of course." Lu Chi nodded with a smile, and added: "However, my personality is relatively conservative, and I don't have much money. Even if those customers disclose any news, I will analyze it myself and buy it when I think it is suitable. , and I didn’t buy much. It can only be said to be testing the waters, so I don’t earn much.”

"It's better to be conservative, it's better to be conservative." Lu's father and Lu's mother nodded repeatedly and praised: "It's still the same sentence, even if you have inside information, you should be cautious. Earn some pocket money. If you really earn The best way to preserve money is to buy a house.”

Lu's father and mother's obsession with buying a house left Lu Chi speechless.However, he also knows that everything cannot be accomplished overnight. Through this conversation, Lu's father and mother, who have a conservative concept of financial management, can slightly change their views on stock trading. This is already an initial victory.Lu Chi didn't want to use his family's funds to speculate in stocks, so he didn't intend to correct Lu's parents and mother's views.He just looked at Lu Heng with a smile, and said, "I also think that my parents are right. So my brother, you should give your parents the money you earn to buy a house. If you really want to trade in stocks to earn some pocket money, then give me 1." Yuan, I'll take care of it for you."

Saying that, he blinked at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng suddenly realized, and the two looked at each other with a tacit smile. Lu Heng looked at Lu's parents and Lu's mother and said, "I see, I will hand over the money I earn to my parents. But spend some pocket money to learn how to trade stocks with my brother."

Lu Heng's words were like a reassurance to Lu's parents and Lu's mother. The husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense backs also relaxed.

Lu Heng suddenly thought of something, turned his head and asked Lu Chi, "Brother, since you have the ability to make money, why did you reject the University of Pennsylvania's notice? Isn't that the university you have always wanted?"

"My favorite is the Wharton School of Business, but the major I want to apply for does not admit undergraduates. So when I applied for the University of Pennsylvania, it was just the next best thing." Lu said casually: "Who knows that the University of Pennsylvania does not offer undergraduates?" Wouldn’t it be a disadvantage for me to provide scholarships for international students? There are so many key universities in business management and finance in M ​​country, and I don’t want to hang myself on a tree. Since Penn University doesn’t give scholarships, I’ll change to one that gives scholarships .Anyway, it’s not difficult to apply for admission.”

Brother Lu Chi's words really fully explained what it means to be "talented and self-willed", and Lu Heng was dumbfounded when he heard it.In the end, he could only look at his brother admiringly with the attitude of admiring the flowers of Gaoling, and said with envy and hatred: "If only I had such a bright mind when I was studying."

The whole family knew that Lu Heng's academic performance was struggling all year round. This time, even the little classmate Lu Miao, who had been eating in silence, couldn't help complaining, "Brother is so stupid."

Lu Chi smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his younger brother's head: "It's okay, my younger brother is so good at kung fu, and his acting is so good, there are always some regrets in life."

Lu Heng looked at his brother with a resentful face. An absolutely perfect winner in life used such words to comfort others. It sounded not only that he was not comforted, but rather angry!

Lu Chi looked at his younger brother with puffy cheeks, and couldn't help touching his head with itchy hands.

The strength is gentle, the palms are dry and warm, and the strength of the hands is just right. Lu Heng rubbed subconsciously, and the whole person also fell to Lu Chi's side, with an expression of pressing me again, almost showing his belly_(:з )∠)_

Lu Chi: "..."

Lu Heng: "..."

Lu Chi suppressed the corner of his mouth that was bent upwards, and withdrew his hand secretly, deliberately changed the subject and said: "Speaking of which, after I settle down in Stanford, "Best Partner" will almost be released around the world. By then, your crew Are you also flying around the world to promote it?"

Lu Heng nodded subconsciously.

Lu Chi brought up the old story again: "I don't know if I can rest during the Chinese New Year. I also hope that you will all go to country M to accompany me."

Lu Chi's plan is to rent an apartment near Stanford University, where he can accommodate his family during the Chinese New Year, and also have a comfortable private space in normal times.

Unlike most of his peers, Lu Chi has always been a planner.Influenced by Lu's father and mother, Lu Chi also has a conservative temperament, but this conservativeness is mainly reflected in wanting to control everything in his hands.He doesn't like accidents, so he has to make more preparations in advance. For example, Brother Lu Chi is the kind of person who can plan in advance even if he goes on a trip, marking out all the transportation, accommodation, and transportation at the tourist location, and even the traffic on the highway. Severe obsessive-compulsive disorder that can be remembered in several gas stations and several sidewalks.

Knowing children is better than parents, of course Lu's father and mother know about Lu Chi's problem.Hearing the eldest son's question, Lu's mother smiled and said: "Chinese New Year is a reunion. Of course the four of us must be together, but your grandparents are more troublesome. The elderly are old and don't want to make troubles, let alone relatives at home. They all stay in the village for the New Year, they definitely don’t want us to take the old man away—”

"Then take them all with you!" Lu Heng said very easily: "Anyway, it's just a matter of a few air tickets, and our family will reimburse you. Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, and grandpa have lived most of their lives and have never been abroad. Woolen cloth!"

The two relatives add up to at least [-] to [-] people, and the air ticket alone costs tens of thousands of yuan, which is easy for this kid to say.

Lu's father and Lu's mother gave Lu Heng a helpless look: "What a prodigal son."

Having said that, Lu's father and Lu's mother were moved, and they took Lu Heng's words to heart.

We are all real relatives.There is an old saying in China that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but the relatives of the Lu family are not only close relatives, but also close neighbors.Take this time when Lu's father and mother moved their family to Yanjing as an example, almost all the things left in the Northeast were handed over to the two relatives to take care of them.For example, in the countryside, the work of raising chickens, ducks, fish and pigs, harvesting wild vegetables, such as harvesting grain during the autumn harvest, the logistics company of the Lu family is getting bigger and bigger, and the stalls are spreading more and more. Lu's father and mother only have two people. One hand, of course, is too busy.Then I can only ask two relatives to come and help.

Now the company's benefits are getting better and better. Lu's father and Lu's mother heard that the company with good welfare in Yanjing takes its employees to travel abroad every year.

Those two relatives are not just employees. With the current strength of the Lu family, they may not be able to afford so many people to travel abroad, but if it is just reimbursement of air tickets, there is absolutely no problem.

Lu Chi said calmly: "Actually, our two families flew to country M. In addition to celebrating the New Year, we can also investigate how farmers in country M farm the land. In the past six months, I have been working part-time in an office and have received listings. The financial audit report of the hotel. I found that many catering companies like to run some unique tourist catering businesses. It would be great if our firewood stew can also be developed into a farmhouse resort.”

Lu's father and Lu's mother looked at each other, and couldn't help asking: "Is this possible?"

"Of course it can be done." Lu Heng said with a smile: "Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about our family's firewood stew. The business is so good every day. The last time Linxuan and I wanted to eat, we almost didn't Set it on the table. Now that the standard of living has improved, people who have the conditions are willing to eat green food. I think if our family opens a farmhouse resort, we can start the business of picking orchards and breeding gardens. It is to let those guests themselves We don’t have time to grow vegetables and raise chickens by hand. Our employees can help with watering and fertilizing. When they rest on weekends, they can also see the chickens raised by their own vegetables. After the Chinese New Year, we will help slaughter and stew Good. We can even dig a pond to plant lotus flowers and raise fish, so that we can provide one-stop service for travel, entertainment and meals!"

Lu Chi took a look at his silly brother Baitian in surprise, but he didn't expect his brother to be very business-minded.But he didn't know that Lu Heng's idea was to follow the example of some farmhouse resorts in later generations.

Lu's father and Lu's mother thought about the big cake drawn by their two sons, and they felt very moved.They couldn't help but looked at each other with a smile, and said simply: "Okay, I'll make a call later and ask."

Since Lu's father and Lu's mother said so, this matter must be inseparable.

But as soon as this word was mentioned, it aroused Lu's parents and Lu's mother's homesickness.Lu's mother complained casually: "This place in Yanjing has high wages, and it is indeed much more prosperous than our hometown. But there are also downsides-your dad and I are used to living in one-story houses, and now we are confined to this place. , I always feel in a panic. This means that the company and the store are busy with business, otherwise your dad and I can't find a place to go for a stroll."

Lu Heng said casually: "In fact, there are quite a lot of courtyard houses in Yanjing. If you like to live in bungalows, then you can buy a courtyard house." It can also increase in value in the future.

Lu Heng's suggestion was sincere, and in Lu's father's ears, he was immediately excited: "You can pull it down. Do you think that your mother and I haven't inquired about the price of the courtyard house? A broken courtyard with less than 1000 square meters How dare you ask for several million yuan, even better ones dare to ask for more than [-] million yuan. Your mother and I are not being taken advantage of by paying that money!"

Lu's mother also said: "That's right, with the 1000 million yuan, your father and I would rather go to the suburbs to build a house by ourselves, and then we can build it as we want, and no one will care about the [-]-square-meter house."

The two brothers, Lu Chi and Lu Heng, were overjoyed all of a sudden, and couldn't help but said, "A courtyard house with an area of ​​[-] square meters? Then you might as well just build a resort."

Lu's father and Lu's mother did not speak, but rolled their eyes at the two sons.

That night, Lu's father called his hometown and mentioned that he would invite the two families to visit country M during the Chinese New Year to investigate the project.

The Lu family's business is getting bigger and bigger. In the eyes of the two relatives, although they are not envious, they are still enviable.The village also wants Papa Lu to bring everyone together to make a fortune—although the firewood stew and logistics company opened by Papa Lu have already brought a lot of income to the village, but for making money, who would dislike spending too much money?

It's just that the people in the village don't know how the Lu family's business is doing, so it's hard to speak up.This time, Father Lu offered to take everyone abroad to investigate how foreign farmers cultivated the land. When the news reached the village, the head of Lujia Village immediately called.

The village head of Lujia Village is also surnamed Lu. In terms of seniority, he is the third son of Lu's father and his grandfather's brother. Lu's father has to call him third uncle.

Although this Third Uncle Lu is a bit old, his brain is very bright.At the beginning, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment wanted to record "Exchanging Lives", but actually chose a lot of places, and finally settled in Lujia Village, and Sanshu Lu's fight was indispensable.

Unlike those village cadres who find it bothersome, Uncle Lu has seen that this program may bring some development opportunities to Lujia Village after it is broadcast.It's just that Uncle Lu didn't expect the effect of "Exchanging Lives" to be so good after the broadcast. Soon after the show was broadcast, people came to build schools and roads in the village. many.But outsiders don't want to come and invest, so your own family can fight for it too!

Thinking of this, Third Uncle Lu was not polite when he made the phone call, and smiled bluntly: "Zhen Juner, you are well-off now, and you have not forgotten your relatives and fellow villagers. We are all aware of these. I heard that you will You want to take the whole family abroad for the New Year, and you also need to inspect the project? Can you tell Uncle what project you are going to inspect?"

Father Lu directly expressed his family's idea of ​​building a farmhouse resort.

Uncle Lu on the other side of the phone blinked cheerfully and said, "That's a good idea, that's a good idea. I heard that your son is going to study in a key university abroad, and he also proposed the idea of ​​this inspection project. Then he must have something in mind. I know this kid's temper. He can hold his breath as a child, and he won't talk nonsense about things without regulations. If he says that this resort farmhouse can be built, then it will definitely be built ..."

As soon as Lu's father heard this, he knew that Uncle Lu had misunderstood.I can only bite the bullet and explain: "But third uncle, we want to build a farmhouse here in Yanjing..."

When Lu's father said this, his heart was pounding.I'm afraid that Third Uncle Lu will be disappointed and angry, but his character is not the kind of vague and perfunctory person.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lu was not at all surprised when he heard what Father Lu said, and he smiled and said, "Of course I know that you are going to build a resort in Yanjing, and I understood it as soon as I heard it. Those things are for fooling the rich people in the city. Our Lujia Village does not have the conditions to build a resort. Even if you build it, no one will come. I mean, if you build a resort in Yanjing, do you have any business for the village? For example, if you want to build a resort You can’t just grow and raise all the green ingredients in the resort, right? At most, you can make some fresh tricks for the tourists to gain popularity. If you really want to buy vegetables, you must have a purchase channel.”

"If this is the case, then our Lujia Village can completely become your purchase channel. As the old saying goes, the three armies want to mobilize food and grass first, and the emperor must have his own rear when he wants to conquer the world. Although our Lujia Village is far away from Yanjing, The victory lies in knowing the roots and the bottom line, everyone is a real relative, a fellow villager who has been in the village for decades, and the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders..."

Uncle Lu's eloquence is very good. In the words of Lu's father, he would be inferior to being a village chief just because of his eloquence.Anyway, under the trick of Uncle Lu's sharp tongue, Dad Lu agreed in a daze to put the resort's purchase channel in Lujia Village.I completely forgot about the resort and haven’t left a word yet ╮(╯_╰)╭
