“Those two are chefs from the best hotels in the city. I know their boss, so I borrowed them for a few hours. We’ll eat Australian lobster tonight! I heard that it was flown in by plane. It’s very fresh, and it looks huge. I’ve never seen one that big.”
“Thanks to Second Uncle, I’m really lucky today!” Jiang Yao also curiously looked into the kitchen. Needless to say, there was really a big frozen lobster in the fridge.
Jiang Yao was speechless. That huge Australian lobster must have cost a lot of money since it was flown into the country. She did not know who would give such a big gift to Second Uncle Lu.
Jiang Yao walked out and asked casually, “I heard from Dad that it was a gift from a customer of yours.”
“Not really a customer.”
Second Uncle Lu turned around. “He’s a future partner. I took a piece of land in the city for building and selling. He also took a fancy to the land at that time, but I bought it first. Then, he came to me and said he wanted to work with me to build the building. I thought about it and agreed with his offer. It can help spread the risk a little. If I lose, I’ll have less to lose. But if I earn anything, I’ll earn less. But let’s get some experience first.”
“Second Uncle, are you going to build a building?”
Jiang Yao was shocked. She remembered Second Uncle Lu was not involved in real estate in her previous life.
It seemed like he had followed the various changes in the country’s policies, and the performance of the endeavors under his control also declined bit by bit. Later, it seemed like many factories were on the verge of being closed down, and one of them, a brick factory, was subsequently shut.
“Initially, I did not think about it, but when you came back during the New Year, you mentioned that those in big cities had begun to build high-rise buildings and sell them. It seemed that the sales were quite good, so I took it to heart. Then, I went out to many cities to take a look. I realized that it seemed like an excellent method, and then I found some trouble.”
When Second Uncle Lu said that, he smiled embarra.s.singly. “A few days ago, someone wanted to introduce me to a wife, but I rejected him. Do you think I still want to get married? At my age? I don’t have any big wishes right now. I just want to take advantage of the fact that I’m still young enough to earn more dowry for Xiaoxiao. In the future, whether she wants to marry or not, as long as Xiaoxiao has money, she will have enough to live her life. If I earn a thousand bucks now, Xiaoxiao will have less trouble for a thousand bucks in the future. ”
“Even if you want to earn money, you still have to take care of your health. You have enough a.s.sets for your daughter. We are already old; what if something happens to you? We should rest now. After all, we are not 30-year-old anymore. No matter how much money you earn, it is not as good as keeping a healthy body. No matter how much money you leave for your daughter, it is not as good as accompanying her for another day. You are a father, and you are the one who needs to be with Xiaoxiao. Money is secondary.”
Jiang Yao nodded in agreement. “Dad is right. Second Uncle, you have to listen to his advice. Second Uncle, although I’m young and not as good as you in business, I have some suggestions for you.”
Second Uncle Lu did not look down on Jiang Yao just because she was a girl and a junior.. Seeing that Jiang Yao was about to say something very lengthy, he sat down beside her; he was all ears.
