Chapter 251 My last name is Cao! !
Seeing that Gu Jia hesitated to speak several times, Zhou Ji asked Gu Jia what was on his mind.
It was related to the tea factory project. Gu Jia wanted to eat it herself, but bought the house in Grand Hyatt Mansion with a loan, and lost the order from Mr. Wan. Even this house had to be mortgaged for the capital turnover of the fireworks company , How could it be possible to eat it alone in such a situation?
Open your mouth to borrow money from Zhou Ji?
Zhou Ji is very rich, but his money is not blown by the wind, why should he lend it to himself for no reason?
Unless you partner with him in this business, with a cake sharer, the annual dividend income will shrink by half, but at least you have a business partner who shares the risk.
But the opportunity is rare, if it is not because of helplessness, Gu Jia is really unwilling to give up this opportunity.
Because she didn't know herself, if Zhou Ji heard the news about the tea factory, would she leave her alone and directly find Mrs. Li to cooperate with her? What capital would she have to deal with Zhou when she couldn't even get the three million transfer money? Sabi 'fair play'?
How many times have you had afternoon tea together?
Gu Jia calculated the gains and losses in her heart, pondered for a moment, and tentatively said: "Mr. Zhou must also know Mrs. Li, right?"
In an instant, a sight that seemed to be a smile but not a smile pierced Zhou Ji's back. Xizhu passed by the sofa holding the happy water, patted next Zhou Ji's shoulder without a trace, and jumped onto the sofa on the other side with a smile on his face. The smile seems to be asking: "Why is there another Mrs. Li? When did you change your surname to Cao?"
Zhou Ji saw the narrowness in Si Teng's eyes at a glance. How could Queen Teng, who had engraved confidence and pride in her bones, be a jealous person?
Hmm. Probably not?
Glancing at the little guy who was sitting on the sofa with his feet not touching the floor, Zhou Ji gave a threatening look, and then stretched out his hands to return a gesture of grasping and rubbing. A trace of panic flashed in Xizhu's eyes. After the panic, the original narrow The provocative smile immediately became icy cold, gnashing its teeth, like a kitten whose fur has exploded, it will pounce on it and bite if it is teased again.
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhou Ji seemed to see the appearance of an adult who frowned angrily and wished he could dig a hole to bury him on the spot.
He likes Si Teng who puts on airs and is always confident and calm, and also likes Si Teng who loses elegance, puts aside airs, and bickers with him to play with his temper. Maybe this is the fun of teasing cats?
Given Zhou Ji a blank look, Xizhu picked up Pepsi Happy Water and drank heavily, not bothering to pay attention to the annoying person next to him.
Gu Jia didn't wait for Zhou Ji to respond for a long time. Looking at the two people next to him, one big and one small winking, she couldn't help reminding: "Mr. Zhou? Mr. Zhou??"
"Ah?" Zhou Ji shook his head, and said with a smile: "When I was short of money, I just found a local tyrant to sell some jewelry, jade, jade, etc. Even Mrs. Wang met by chance. I met him twice, and I was in the circle of my wife. That group of people didn’t have much contact with each other, so they didn’t know Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li.”
Shaking his head, Zhou Ji continued: "Ms. Gu, if you have anything to say, just say it straight, don't beat around the bush like this."
Zhou Ji had already finished speaking, but Gu Jia had no worries.
"It's actually like this. Mrs. Li's family wants to sell a tea factory recently." Gu Jia introduced the situation of Mrs. Li's family. There are many treasures about Mrs. Li's family, but she only knows the general situation about the tea factory.
No, in fact, about Mrs. Li's situation, she only heard it from Mrs. Wang, and the information in it was a bit exaggerated and vague. think about it.
After hearing these words, Zhou Ji and Xizhu frowned. The two looked at each other strangely. Xizhu stroked his forehead and gave Zhou Ji a helpless look.
How come every family encounters strange things?
Zhou Ji learned about Gu Jia's family situation through Xizhu, and signaled Xizhu to be safe and calm, turned to look at Gu Jia, and said with a smile: "So you want to borrow money from me?"
Gu Jia nodded, thinking about how much money he could spare, and said seriously: "If Mr. Zhou is interested, we can each contribute half and cooperate to win the tea factory."
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "A gentleman doesn't take what others like. I can see that you want this tea factory wholeheartedly. No problem. I can lend you three million. The interest rate is just according to the bank's standard."
The mountain is poor and the river is full of doubts and no way out.
Gu Jia showed surprise and disbelief, but she was more suspicious than joy.
Did you really lend it to yourself so kindly? Are you lying to her or have other plans?
"But after all, it is three million. This amount of money is not a small amount. It is impossible to give it to you so casually."
Gu Jia's complexion changed slightly, and there was something wrong with the way she looked at Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji's mouth twitched, and Xizhu couldn't help chuckling from beside him.
Turning his head and glaring at Xizhu, Zhou Ji sped up his speech and said hastily, "You know Mrs. Li, but I don't. You heard about the tea factory from her, and you have never been in contact with it. What should I do if I lend you this money rashly without going to the field to conduct research and visits in person?”
“.”
Like a basin of cold water being poured on top of her head, Gu Jia froze for a moment.
Ever since she heard that Mrs. Li was going to transfer the tea factory, she has been thinking about how to win the tea factory and how to lie flat and collect money after the tea factory is taken down.
What should I do if I lose money?
Even if this thought once came to mind, it was quickly dispelled by the extravagance and energy of the wives circle. They can only think that they are too rich, and look down on the annual income of 1.8 million.
"What does Mr. Zhou mean?"
After calming down, Gu Jia’s eyes were less greedy and blinded by fanaticism. It’s not like Xu Huanshan didn’t tell her the same thing. The company’s funds are tight, the luxury house is mortgaged to the bank, and the original mortgage and the child’s sky-high kindergarten tuition are repaid.
Their family really can't take this risk anymore.
When Xu Huanshan told her this, she didn't take it too seriously.
But when Zhou Ji was with her, she had to be cautious.
"Well, first of all, tea factory research is essential. Since Mrs. Li is in a hurry, we will set off tonight to visit the tea factory and find out what's going on there."
Gu Jia looked a little hesitant, but Xizhu nodded slightly, and gave Zhou Ji a look of approval.
Zhou Ji returned Xizhu with a smile, and continued: "If the situation and what Mrs. Li said is basically true, and it is indeed a good business that can make money immediately as long as you buy it, then I will transfer the money to you immediately, and go as I said before. Bank interest rate, this money is a loan from you."
In order to win the fireworks order for the amusement park, Gu Jia can do what she likes, spend all her time making friends with Mrs. Zhang, and finally successfully placed the order for the Yanjing amusement park.
Now that the tea factory has been established, she is a little hesitant, and looks at Zhou Ji with a hint of suspicion.
Go to Xiangqian Province tonight, and also go to the mountainous area?
‘I really don’t have the surname Cao! '
Looking at the suspicious Gu Jia, Zhou Ji wanted to curse.
But he can understand, and even agrees with Gu Jia's safety awareness.
Looking back at Xizhu who was snickering beside him, Zhou Ji pursed his lips, as if talking. "Stop laughing, it's your turn to appear."
Xizhu raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes tacitly, and said with a smile: "Chen Yu just happened to be at home for his annual leave recently, how about calling him and Xiaoqin, and let's travel to Xiangqian together?"
Gu Jia's eyes lit up, but she felt something was wrong. After all, they were going to the Xiangqian Mountains. The boats and cars were tiring, and Xiaoqin was still pregnant. If something happened, how would she tell Chen Yu and Xiaoqin? Parents explain ah.
Xizhu jumped off the sofa directly, kicked his dangling legs on the ground, and reached out to take out Zhou Ji's pocket. Zhou Ji raised his arm and let Xizhu take out his mobile phone, and then called out Zhou Ji's name.
"Zhou Ji."
"Huh?" Zhou Ji heard that he looked at Xizhu, just in time to see her raise the phone to his face.
click ~ The phone was unlocked, Xizhupa pulled the address book that was less than one page short, gave Zhou Ji a helpless look, and manually dialed Zhong Xiaoqin's number.
Knowing that Xizhu and the others were going to travel in Xiangqian, Zhong Xiaoqin agreed without hesitation.
Gu Jia persuaded her that she should not run around when she is pregnant, but in Zhong Xiaoqin's view, she and Chen Yu have been married for several years and have not gone out to play seriously. When they got married, they didn't even have a honeymoon. Now just in time for Chen Yu to be at home, she even wanted to thank the producer Lu on this level.
Taking advantage of the absence of get off work, Zhong Xiaoqin immediately wrote down the list of annual leave, cut it first and played it later, and talked about it with Chen Yu.
From being bored at home for so long and needing to go out to breathe fresh air, to meeting two people on vacation together once in a lifetime, it can be regarded as making up for the missing honeymoon trip.
After answering the phone, before Chen Yu could even speak, Zhong Xiaoqin babbled and tried to persuade Chen Yu to agree, but Chen Yu also received a message from Sister Lu who made a big fuss on the stage in order to squeeze him out. Yes, the news that he was transferred and suspended by the deputy director and several leaders.
Although I have not yet confirmed when I will return to work, but I heard from a few good colleagues that the station seems to be thinking about it.
Gu Jia also talked about this with Xu Huanshan, and learned that Xiaoqin, Chen Yu, and Xizhu also went with her. Although Xu Huanshan didn't agree with Gu Jia asking outsiders to borrow money to buy the tea factory, but for her The behavior of realizing the research is still very agreeable, but in the attitude of readily agreeing, there is a trace of inexplicable emotion.
It's like guilt, but also like compensation.
Before it was dark, Gu Jia took Ziyan to his father-in-law and entrusted his grandfather to take care of him for a few days. The old man had always wanted to see his grandson, so naturally he had no objections.
After finishing everything, Gu Jia asked Chen Xu to book air tickets for everyone. Seeing Chen Xu who was busy at the side, Zhou Ji looked at Gu Jia and said, "Gu Jia, please call Mrs. Li first, just say I'm trying to find a way to raise money and let her have a grace period of three to five days. Don't mention the matter about our investigation, lest she misunderstand."
After calming down, Gu Jia naturally understood what Zhou Ji meant, and immediately called Mrs. Li.
At that time, Mrs. Li was having a second tea party with Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhao, her good friend. They had finished talking about the "business" that their husband had assigned them. While they were chatting in the waterside pavilion, the phone suddenly rang.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Li who walked away a few steps and came back with a smile on her face, and asked casually, "Mrs. Li, what is it that makes you so happy?"
Mrs. Li picked up the bread crumbs next to her and sprinkled them in the water. Looking at the koi carp vying for food, she smiled and said, "It's nothing, the fish ate the bait."
Ms. Li’s tea factory is located in the hills of Xiangqian Province. Although Gu Jia was once dazzled by Mrs. Li’s beautiful vision, she still searched for basic local information out of instinct.
Xiangxi is a large tea province. Although the original ecological mountain forest landform restricts the local development, it also supports various tea houses.
After getting off the plane, Zhou Ji directly rented two RVs, and he and Chen Yu each drove one along the mountain road. Zhong Xiaoqin was a little excited at first, lying on the window and looking longingly at the green and lush mountains.
However, as the sky got darker, the bright eyes gradually dimmed. Looking at Zhong Xiaoqin who was looking out of the window with blank eyes and a blank face, Xizhu shook his head and reached out to hold Zhong Xiaoqin's palm.
That night, everyone was resting in a village not far from the tea factory. Zhong Xiaoqin went to bed early, while Gu Jia and Chen Yu chatted with the old people in the village.
People here basically make a living by picking tea. Although I don’t know the specific situation of the tea factory on the two hills, they are poor and the news that the tea will be unsalable every year still cannot be hidden from other tea pickers. village.
Hearing the old man's narration, Gu Jia's face became more and more ugly. Looking at the endless outlines of mountains in the distance, she felt an ominous premonition in her heart.
Maybe, she was really cheated?
But she was a little unwilling to go to the tea factory after all.
Just listening to the old man's one-sided words is hard to dispel her desire to find out.
It was getting brighter the next day, and everyone set off again. Under the morning sun, layers of terraced fields were hidden in the mountains, surrounded by trees and surrounded by a sea of clouds. The village where I live is even more dilapidated, and the village comes into view.
There are deep alleys and quaint dwellings. During the Qingming Festival, strolling in the ancient bluestone alleyways, looking at the narrow and mottled courtyard walls full of vicissitudes of time, moss can be seen everywhere under the feet, and the air is filled with fresh tea. fragrant.
Zhong Xiaoqin, who went to bed early last night, walked in the front, opened her arms and greedily breathed the air of the mountain forest, looked back at Gu Jia and smiled: "Jiajia, the environment here is really good, even the air is sweet, it seems Just like Xanadu on TV, even if you don’t make tea, it can be developed into a tourist attraction or something.”
Gu Jia was stabbed by Zhong Xiaoqin, and her complexion became more and more ugly. Although she also agreed with Zhong Xiaoqin's point of view, and even admired Mrs. Li's vision of site selection, the words "do not make tea" still hurt her.
I only hope that there will be no problems with the tea factory.
