Volume 1 Chapter 79

  "What does Andre think of your performance in this match?" Fang Mo Nan changed the subject, knowing that this would allow Mo Bei to quickly recover from the shadow of defeat.

  "Oh! I got scolded again!" Mo Bei's face suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he said happily.

  "You're actually happy about being scolded." Little Aunt said in surprise.

  "She has made significant progress." Fang Mernan said with a calm and composed tone.

  "It's just Andres, he's her younger brother." Meng Bei said with a smile.

  "Xiao Yi is indeed honest, she goes home on time every day." Fang Mo Nan said to her as he watched her eating hastily.

  "The weather has turned cold, and there are no extracurricular activities, so I came back a bit earlier." Auntie swallowed the food in her mouth and said: "Nan Nan, have you sold those few stocks you're holding? They've been plummeting lately."

  "They've all been weaned off already." Fang Mosou wiped the mouths of Da Bao and Er Ya, looking at her. Da Bao and Er Ya were over six months old and could eat some supplementary food now. What they were eating was a specially prepared rice porridge with a hint of salt by Fang Mosou. Rice, wheat, black rice, walnuts, and peanuts were ground into fine powder and cooked on low heat.

  Her aunt's eyes sparkled, and she asked in a mysterious tone, "How much did you make this time?" She was now thoroughly convinced and deeply regretful that she hadn't listened to Fang Mo Nan during the stock market crash. She should have cashed out and invested all her funds then. Alas! Such opportunities don't come every day. Sigh... She let out a deep sigh.

  "Over a million!" Fang Mo said without turning her head back, she was busy wiping off the sticky rice paste from Da Bao and Er Ya's bodies.

  Ye Lao Si wasn't surprised at all! He was only in charge of eating, and it's not easy to find authentic Chinese cuisine abroad. The food here is as good as his family's chef. He shouldn't say that the food here is better than his family's chef, but he sped up the pace of serving dishes. His ears were still listening to their conversation, and he couldn't even interrupt. This family was really unique, with such strong personalities at a young age.

  After finishing dinner, "Ye Si Ge, come with me." Fang Mo Nan put down his bowl and chopsticks, saying to him who was still 'working hard'.

  "Ah! Good!" Ye Lao Si heard her shout. He picked up the bowl, took two big mouthfuls, put down the bowl and chopsticks, nodded at Xiao Yi and Mo Bei, then quickly followed Fang Mo Nan.

  "Auntie, who is he? Is there something going on?" Mo Bei asked curiously with a blink of her eyes.

  "I don't know, just forget it. Hurry up and eat." said Little Auntie. "After eating, remember to wash the dishes."

  "Oh! I see." Fang Mo Bei said.

  Ye Lao Si followed Fang Mo Nan into the study, he quickly glanced around, there were a lot of books, the decoration of the study was thick and heavy but not lacking in warmth, it was a good place to read.

  "Please sit down!" Fang Mo Nan said as he also sat on the sofa. After seeing him seated, he asked again: "What's your harvest?"

  "Haha…… The results are brilliant." Ye Lao Si took out a cigarette and lit it, seeing Fang Mo Nan's tightly furrowed brow, he quietly put the lighter away and smiled awkwardly.

  This girl's aura is just too strong, making him unconsciously restrain himself in front of her. Ye Laosi was also very puzzled, how could he be so honest in front of her, and couldn't figure it out no matter what.

  "Then you..." Fang Mo Nan said strangely, since the battle was so glorious. What's the point of coming to find her again? "If it's just to thank me, then forget it."

  Fang Mo Nan looked at the small red stove on the tea table and saw that the water had boiled. She picked up the purple clay teapot and started brewing Gongfu tea.

  Ye Lao Si watched her 'one move at a time':

  1. White Crane Bathing (rinsing the cup)

  2. Guanyin Entering the Palace (steeping tea)

  3. Hanging Kettle High Pour (pouring tea)

  4. Spring Breeze Brushing Face (frothy bubbles)

  5. General Guan Patrolling the City (pouring out tea)

  6. Han Xin Reviewing Troops (tasting tea)

  7. Appreciating Color and Savoring Fragrance (admiring tea)

  8. Savoring Sweet Dew (drinking tea)

  All are a beautiful enjoyment. It really has a bit of the meaning of green ants new wine, red clay small fire stove.

  "Try it," Fang Mo Nan handed him a cup.

  Ye Lao Si looked into the cup, and the soup was bright green. The fragrance was like orchid, with a rich and mellow taste. "The aroma is overwhelming, the flavor is sweet and refreshing. It's not inferior to Lion Peak Longjing. What kind of tea is this? I can actually drink such authentic tea abroad."

  "The village tea is not as good as you said." Fang Mo Nan said.

  Ye Laosi saw that she didn't want to say more, so he stopped asking. He took out a deposit slip from his pocket and handed it to Fang Mennai.

  Fang Mo Nan didn't answer, raising an eyebrow and asking: "What's going on?"

  "Return the money!" Ye Lao Si said leisurely, "It's from the devils." Actually, not much was used, and for two families with good relationships, not much capital was needed. The two old masters knew about it and strongly supported her, just as she said, her father also strongly supported her.

  Fang Mo Nan picked it up and flipped through it, "Too soft-hearted."

  "This is still a good deal, okay! You're tougher than me." Ye Lao Si thought about it and realized that he had been too narrow-minded at first, hearing the price offered by the little devil. His heart was racing with excitement. After nearly a year, if he were to "cross hands" with the little devil again now, he wouldn't be so "money-eyed". As she said, he should be even tougher. "Actually, I came this time to thank you and see if you have any further instructions." He joked.

  "If you really want to thank me, then send the good machine tools there to my uncle," Fang Mo Nan said. "There are no instructions, but we can chat about it. Don't just focus on the Soviet Union, you can also put some effort into Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Belarus and other places."

  "We've already started investigating this, not just Eastern Europe but also some places in Central Asia." Ye Laosi nodded and said.

  "If we know that in the next few years, if the Soviet Union is on sale, then Ukraine and Belarus are a clearance sale," Fang Mengnan said.

  "Hehe" Ye Lao Si was amused by her description, coughing... "The Soviet Union is still very calm for now, but daily necessities are in short supply. Their financial and exchange rate systems are a mess, full of loopholes. We're taking advantage of the situation to make some money. Now we mainly do border trade, I'm an international 'trader' now, the profit is okay, preparing for the future."

  She nodded, "The current profit is not high, it's better to wait. Actually, the most important thing is the collection of scientific research materials, they are willing to spend money on this aspect, but the materials become cheaper and cheaper in their eyes, they can even sell them to you at the price of waste paper. Some things we can make ourselves after getting the materials." She paused for a moment and continued: "Some big things are too expensive to afford even if we buy them back."

  "According to you, the Soviet Union is really dangerous." Ye Laosi said.

  "The Buddha said 'it cannot be said'", Fang Mo Nan Lai Pi Di said with a smile, "Actually, there's no need for me to say it, you've already started taking action!"

  "This is like what you said, Buddha said 'unspeakable'", Ye Lao Si also started his Zen machine.

  Fang Mo Nan returned the deposit book to Ye Lao Si, looking at him: "Fourth brother! Don't be in a hurry, listen to me finish! Consider these as my investment with you, okay?"

  "Alright!" Ye Laosi heard her say this and replied: "I'll give you 50% of the shares."

  Fang Mornan shook his head, "How can it be too little." He said, "It's not too much. Five percent is enough." Fang Mornan said.

  Ye Lao Si waved his hand repeatedly, "This won't do, this won't do. Aren't you embarrassing me?"

  "Alright, stop being such a nagging woman," Fang Mo'nan said.

  "That won't work either, it's got to be at least thirty percent." Ye Lao Si had an expression that said as much. The two of them whispered back and forth for half a day before Fang Mengnan finally agreed to ten percent.

  The two of them talked for a long time, and Ye Lao Si finally reluctantly stopped. The sky was too late, Fang Mo Nan asked him to rest in the guest room for one night. He left hastily the next day.

  This year's weather is unexpectedly not cold, Christmas is approaching and it hasn't snowed yet. Today the weather is exceptionally sunny, the sun shines warmly on people's bodies, a rare good day. Fang Mo Nan followed Jerry 'after class' and ran back home, bringing two little ones to bask in the sun at the door.

  Qiu Shi and Liang Zi arrived just in time to see this cozy and warm scene. "You're really enjoying yourselves!" Qiu Shi picked up the seven-month-old child, "Is this Er Ya?"

  "Wow! He's indeed his father, still recognizable." Fang Mo stood up with a thumbs up, "You know, these two look so alike that even the nanny sometimes mixes them up."

  "That's it! I was thinking about their photos when nothing was happening." Qi Qi threw the child up and caught him. "Hmm! Heavier again, and taller too."

  Er Ya also didn't show restraint. Being held by Qi Qiu Shi, she let out a loud "heh heh" laugh, clearly enjoying this flying motion. Da Bao wouldn't be outdone, opening his arms wide to Liang Zi.

  "Good!" Liang Zi handed over his luggage to the babysitter and started playing a game of catch with Da Bao.

  Everyone is tired. Everyone enters the apartment together, Fang Mo Nan gives the two babysitters a holiday. The father of the child has arrived, and it's clear that the babysitter doesn't need to take care of the children anymore.

  Jenny served them tea and then retreated. Fang Mo Nan asked: "How did you two come?"

  "Also, Ye Si Shao took a batch of Soviet machine tools for me without paying a penny." Qi Qiu Shi held onto the child with one hand and blocked them from playing on the sofa. "It's just right that the three of them, mother and son, came running over here."

  "He handed it over to you, just take it, no big deal!" Fang Mo Nan thought to himself that his hands and feet were really quick.

  "It's really nothing!" Qi Qiushi asked again.

  "It's all right!" Fang Mo Nan assured.

  "By the way, what's going on with the 100 million yuan you transferred to our account in October?" Qi Qiushi asked, "Tell me about it, or I'll be worried like a rabbit in my heart and can't sleep well."

  "You're asking now." Fang Mo Nan said with a smile.

  "There's no time for this, and it can't be explained clearly over the phone." Qi Qiushi said helplessly, "There are too many things going on in the factory, I'm completely overwhelmed."

  Fang Mengnan said: "That money was made in foreign stock markets, it's quite legitimate."

  Qiu Shi heard and was stunned "Stock market? Is it overseas?"

  At that time, the domestic stock market had not yet started, and it's no wonder he was also a little confused.

  Qiu Shi came back to his senses and asked with some eagerness: "What's the deal with this stock market, tell me about it?"

  To be honest, Fang Mernan doesn't want Qi Qiushi to get involved in the stock market. The future domestic stock market is full of twists and turns, even the best financial experts can't understand it. As for the international stock market, due to insufficient experience, many giant state-owned enterprises have lost a lot of money in the stock and futures markets. They'd better stick to doing real business!
