Chapter 703 Lu Jiaxin Extra 7
After dinner, the family of three took a walk in the back garden, Nie Zhan pushed the stroller. After walking for a while, he suddenly remembered something he forgot to say: "I bought some things there this time, and they will arrive in a few days."
"What did you buy?"
Nie Zhan suddenly remembered something and said: "I bought some calligraphy and paintings and jewelry. You pick them first, and I will choose some of the rest for my friends."
Lu Jiaxin nodded. Nie Zhan would bring her gifts every time he went on a business trip. This time he came back empty-handed, so she thought he was in a hurry and didn't buy them. He didn't want to be on the road.
The things were shipped back a week later.
When Lu Jiaxin returned home, she saw eighteen boxes in the living room. When Nie Zhan said some, she thought it was one or two boxes, but it turned out to be eighteen boxes.
Let the bodyguard open all the boxes. Lu Jiaxin found that most of them were jewelry, in addition to watercolors, oil paintings, sculptures, porcelain, and glassware. Among them, Lu Jiaxin's favorite ones were two crowns and a queen's crown, with huge gems on them that could blind people's eyes.
Lu Jiaxin picked out the ones she liked and gave the rest to Nie Zhan to deal with. There is a saying that in troubled times, gold is more valuable than in prosperous times. In the case of a shortage of physical objects, antique paintings and calligraphy and artworks are worthless. Take this opportunity to get more.
Calling Yan Yijun, Lu Jiaxin said: "Contact Li Qing and ask him to help me collect jewelry and antique paintings with Lao Hei."
"Okay."
Because Lu Jiaxin likes it, Li Qing and Lao Hei work very hard. More than two months later, more than 20 boxes of jewelry, oil paintings and porcelain were received, among which jewelry and sculptures were still the majority. Because it was very chaotic over there, the price of jewelry was greatly discounted, less than half of the previous price. Of course, Lu Jiaxin didn't want to make a profit, but really liked it.
Lu Zhao liked shiny jewelry very much, but Lu Jiaxin didn't dare to give it to her to play with. First, some jewelry is sharp and can hurt; second, some jewelry is small, and children like to grab things into their mouths at this time, which is dangerous.
Summer vacation came in a blink of an eye, and Zong Shimeng called Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, are you busy recently? If not, let's go to Tai O to stay for a few days."
The villa in Tai O has been built a long time ago. However, she got pregnant after the villa was built, and she didn't dare to take the baby there because the baby's resistance was poor, so it was left there after it was built. Now the baby is more than eight months old, and she can stay there for a few days.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I'll arrange for someone to clean it, and we'll go there next week."
She took Lu Zhao out once when he was more than five months old, but the baby got a fever when she arrived at the destination. The doctor speculated that the fever was caused by acclimatization, so now she dare not easily take the baby on a trip.
Later, Lu Jiaxin called Yu Meitong. When she heard her ask whether to bring family members, Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Nie Zhan will go on a business trip in two days and can't go with us. Just take care of the child, forget about the husband."
Yu Meitong went to work after her maternity leave. She also learned from Zong Shimeng and Lu Jiaxin. The child was taken care of by a nanny and an aunt before he was one year old. When the child was one year old, she felt that there was no need for two people to take care of him, so she only left the aunt. Because the aunt only needs to take care of the child and doesn't need to worry about other things, she is dedicated to her work with a high salary.
"My naughty boy is going over there, don't complain about the noise when the time comes!"
Because the child is very naughty, he was nicknamed Pipi. Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "It's okay, there are nannies and aunties! They are good at taking care of children."
So if you have money to have children, you don't have to worry about anything except the dangers of pregnancy and childbirth. When the child is young, you can hire a nanny or a nanny, and when he is older, you can hire a tutor to teach him one-on-one. Parents can just watch him from the side, and don't have to do it themselves.
Speaking of this, Yu Meitong hesitated and asked, "Jiaxin, I want to have another one, but I'm afraid it will be a boy?"
Lu Jiaxin knew that she wanted a daughter. Every time she saw Yinyin or Zhaozhao, she would hold them in her arms and couldn't let go: "Daughters are not necessarily quiet, and boys are not necessarily naughty."
Yu Meitong thought about it and thought, "Then let's take a gamble! If it's a girl, she will get what she wants. If it's still a boy, it's my fate."
She wanted to have two children, a boy and a girl. Many people around her have two or three or even more children, but she is unwilling to do so. She doesn't have enough energy to take care of more children.
Then Lu Jiaxin called Hu Huihui again. She didn't expect that she was pregnant and had pregnancy reactions. She was already sick, so she definitely couldn't go to Tai O.
Wait until Saturday, and everyone agreed to meet in Tai O. When they met, Lu Jiaxin found that Zong Shimeng came alone: "Why don't you bring Yinyin and Xiaobao?"
Zong Shimeng waved her hand and said, "Your brother-in-law made an appointment with the horse farm last week. He will take the children to ride horses there for two days on the weekend. It's just right for me to have some peace and quiet."
Lu Jiaxin felt that she had changed a lot. You know, she didn't worry about anything before.
Leaving the two children to the nanny and the aunt, the three of them went to the swimming pool at the back to swim. After swimming a few laps, Yu Meitong was the first to shout that she couldn't go on the shore.
Lu Jiaxin swam for half an hour before going up. It was hot now, and she lay on the bench in a bathrobe without changing her clothes.
The three chatted for a while, and Yu Meitong suddenly said: "Jiaxin, the special-shaped porcelain you gave me last time gave me inspiration. I showed the design draft to the director, and she said it was very creative. It seems that I can get another bonus."
Lu Jiaxin didn't expect that giving her a gift would have such a reward: "We designers can't be trapped at home, we have to go out and see more, so that we can have a constant source of inspiration."
Yu Meitong said that she had made an appointment with Tao Yong to take her children to Hawaii for vacation next month. Except for the year when she was pregnant, she would take time to travel two or three times every year no matter how busy she was.
Zong Shimeng asked: "Jiaxin, I heard that you bought a lot of jewelry and antiques there."
Lu Jiaxin did not deny it, nodded and said: "As you know, I like old things. The jewelry and porcelain over there are also very exquisite, so I bought them for collection. Sister Shimeng, if you like them, you can also have them bought."
Zong Shimeng said: "I heard that there is a lot of chaos over there now. If you go there, you may never come back."
Lu Jiaxin did not deny what she said: "There is some chaos over there, but wealth can only be found in danger. In order to make high profits, many people still take risks."
If Zong Shimeng also wants to buy it, he can definitely find a matchmaker in Russia. As long as the stuff is genuine, it's worth paying the extra money.
After hearing the conversation between the two people, Yu Meitong suddenly asked: "Jiaxin, I heard that your branch in Russia lends money to many merchants in the mainland. Is it true?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and nodded: "It's true. But we are a bank, not a charity. If you want a loan, you must have a guarantor that the bank trusts. Otherwise, the interest is 20%."
This interest is quite high, but compared to the machinery and equipment auctioned, this interest is really not much. You know, the current price of the same machine is one-tenth or even less than before the disintegration of SL.
Yu Meitong's eyes shone: "With 20% interest, you will make a lot of money this time."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said nothing. Lending loans to businessmen in the Mainland, no matter how high the interest, they make only small amounts of money. The real money comes from participating in the privatization of state-owned assets; in addition, Nie Zhan also speculates in rubles with international professional speculators.
