Text Chapter Eight Hundred and Fifty Six
When Chen Ji and Zhou Jiexi separated at the airport, they still looked envious. It's just envy, and there are a lot of gossips, "I just did the math, didn't Jesse have a child at the age of sixteen?"
"It's only now? I thought of it just now." Chen Xing said with a look of disdain.
It's just that what was ushered in was a burst of ravages from my girlfriend, "I call you this expression, you are smart... you are..."
"You're smart, you're smart, I'm really stupid!" Chen Ji winked, and immediately regretted that he couldn't control his mouth. "I was stupid at the beginning!..."
"Back then? What happened back then?" Xu Qin asked suspiciously.
"No... ah... show mercy, my lady."
A young couple showing their affection, Zhou Jiexi was gone, he was already in his father's car, and the family drove to his home. Niuniu sat in the back with Raymond and a female bodyguard, and he sat in front with his father.
Father Zhou doesn't want bodyguards to drive, he prefers to drive by himself. Just now I asked him to sit in front and chat with him.
"Are you really richer than the richest man in China?" Father Zhou held back for a while before asking.
Zhou Jiexi was worried about what his father was going to talk to him just now, but now that he asked, he breathed a sigh of relief. "If it's calculated in terms of assets, it's just 0 literally. I'm better than Uncle Zong."
"Uncle Zong? You still know him?" Father Zhou was a little surprised.
"I've met him twice. His daughter is my friend. We had a good chat at several events held by Chinese and Chinese. So after we met, we introduced him to Sister Li and called him uncle. Sister Xiang Li is the daughter of the richest man. " Zhou Jiexi explained, "You're still right. You're young, and you don't suffer when you go out and recognize a junior. This is really philosophical. It really is the experience summed up in life."
"I really know him." Father Zhou didn't know the richest man in the United States or the richest man in the world, but he did know about the richest man in mainland China. It used to be that his son was rich, but now he suddenly felt that he had grown up, and the relationship his son had was far beyond his father's imagination.
"I know, a lot of rich people from the Celestial Dynasty are going out now. The California area I live in is a large Chinese immigrant area. I can compare it with New York. When the rich people in China go there, they will participate in some activities. They come and go. We And I got to know each other."
"The ones who went there were all those rich people on Forbes?" No one was a little gossip, and Dad Zhou was no exception.
"Not many, there are so many people in the world, and there are many rich people. Those who didn't make it to the top don't mean they are not powerful. Power and wealth, power and wealth, some are the presidents of big companies, and some powers are not worse than those rich and rich. .”
"Don't look at the people on the list as if they are very powerful. They have as much money as they have. The money is not as much as ours, but they control those super foundations, and the amount of money they have is dozens of times that of us. They That’s awesome! For example, our old Joe is the Steve Jobs of the iPhone.”
"The ranking is not as high as your son's and mine. He is still the boss. Your son and I still hang out with others. Of course, this is not the kind of gangster society. People want connections and connections, and they are very face-saving in government agencies. With influence, these are literally invisible."
"Forbes has a rich list, but it also has a power list. Those people know very well that if you have money, you have money, and if you have power or money, it is not useless."
"Besides, mine is literally property, and I really don't have much money to spend on me. To put it bluntly, billions of dollars are actually stocks, shares, companies, and real estate. I still owe the bank ten Hundreds of millions of dollars!"
"It's called being rich, but then who do I tell the money I owe! If the stock market crashes and the game goes out of fashion, my money will be gone in minutes. It's literally nothing. What keeps its value is real.”
Zhou's father was already frightened by his son's debt. It was written in a magazine, but after being confused by the numbers behind, he automatically ignored the debt. With billions of dollars and more than one billion owed, can that be considered a problem? "
He asked with some concern: "Are you still owed more than a billion dollars?"
"Well! It's not the right time to sell stocks and shares. Although they have doubled, they can still continue to grow. In addition, owning stocks also has the right to speak in the company. Sometimes this thing is not available, but when it is needed, It is really useful. So now I pay some interest every year, and use the money first. When I sell the stocks, I will return the money."
"You brat, you still owe so much money. If the stock goes bankrupt, you'll have to pay it back! Why don't you hurry up and pay it back while you can." Dad said this loudly immediately, It's just that Zhou Jiexi can still feel the concern in his tone.
He was not in a hurry to explain anything, waited for a while, and then said in a steady tone: "No hurry, the situations I mentioned will basically never happen. If they do happen, it will be the global financial collapse, or the end of the world. I mortgaged to Bank real estate, even if it is all gone, is not compatible with me. I can’t get a dime of the money. At most, the mortgaged real estate has become the bank’s. It’s all written in the contract. It’s nothing good Be careful."
Seeing what his father wanted to say, Zhou Jiexi quickly explained clearly: "I have left a way out for a long time, even if it is all gone, I still have a lot of land, no matter what, it is enough for my son, your grandson will eat for several lifetimes gone."
It's the same reason that a son can't help his mother when he grows up, and it's the same reason that his father can't control his father when he grows up. Now Father Zhou feels this way. The son has grown up, he has his own ideas, and he has left a way out for himself. As a father, his son had already thought of what he was worried about.
This also made him, a father, feel a little frustrated.
"Plus, now that I have so many friends in the United States, these imaginary things can't happen. You and my mother can enjoy the happiness with peace of mind. There is no problem in enjoying the wealth for a lifetime." Zhou Jiexi said confidently, It really made his dad feel at ease now.
After a while of silence in the car, Father Zhou said, "You know in your heart that I, as a father, won't say much, so as not to hear all the noise! You are doing well now, and you are away from home. Knowing more will be helpful to you. benefit."
Zhou Jiexi was relieved a lot now, he didn't care that his father continued to teach him, and he seemed to talk too much useless words, he smiled and patted his father's ass, "Isn't that what you taught me! I didn't have that experience before. , I don’t quite understand what you said, but now I have some experiences, I understand a lot.”
He said this just to make up for some regrets in his previous life. He understood what his father said, but he just couldn't do it. As a post-80s generation, to be honest, who doesn't know how to say a few words! There are a lot of philosophical and life-experienced words on the Internet, and they say more than my dad.
This also caused him to disdain what his parents said. The consequences have already been experienced in the previous life, so this life can make up for some!
"You child, if you really understand, you won't do so many things." Although the father was very helpful, he still said something with a straight face.
"That's that, isn't the food I eat not as salty as yours? It means that I'm your age, so I won't be messing around anymore. Oh, no, I have the experience of your predecessors , I will be able to understand after specifying it for a few years, otherwise your experience will be wasted.”
"Blind and poor, I said you don't like me with this characteristic, and your mother doesn't have this habit either. Why did you give birth to a kid like you and like blind and poor?"
"Don't say that, I'm really your son, you don't know..."
Well, Zhou Jiexi happened to be at a red light, and his father shuddered, and he shut up again. Power is the father, if he still wants to resist, he can only be an unfilial son.
So, take it!
The car is still on the road, and it takes another hour to go back to his hometown from Changyi, not that fast.
Silence took the place of a little time, and Dad looked at him before asking again: "Recently, many people in the family know about you, what are your plans?"
Dizzy, what Zhou Jiexi is most afraid of is this kind of troublesome thing, he hasn't figured it out yet, ask him what to do now? He thought it was best not to do it, what to do, he had never asked anyone except his brothers and sisters before.
They have never begged their family, and our relatives get along like this. Not to mention how good it is, but there is no conflict. Distant relatives and the like, at most, when the children go to school from their hometown, parents will help and ask people to come over for dinner after the holiday. There are no sarcastic remarks, but warm hospitality .
When people come back from vacation, they bring some souvenirs to their home. They also kept it politely. The help between relatives is very simple, no big deal, just small things.
Therefore, the philosophy of the old Zhou family is to save the emergency, not the poor, so as not to make yourself unlucky, but also to implicate a bunch of relatives. If you can't bear it anymore, don't hurt others anymore.
Especially in these days, when lending money to someone, you must see whether the person is trustworthy, and what kind of nature is he borrowing money from? If you are in short supply at the moment, and you need to buy something big and how much it costs, as a relative or friend, you can help if you have the ability. This is called emergency.
The kind of people who live beyond their means and have no ability to repay at all, if they come to borrow money, they should be politely told not to borrow money.
Those who have good credit and borrow money out of urgency will not be embarrassed by their own family in the previous life. The family should borrow money for such trivial matters. If you help a relative or friend today, if you ask him for help tomorrow, he will have nothing to say.
The old Zhou's family definitely couldn't borrow the kind of people who were so poor that they reached out to borrow money. Borrowing it is like beating a dog with a meat bun—it’s never returned, and his money didn’t come from a strong wind, so why! Just because he is rich?
