Chapter 3033 3035 [Mother-in-law looks at son-in-law]
Subsequently, a group of people set off for Thailand.
The plane took off from Beijing Airport, and when it arrived in Thailand, it was just dark.
Just check in first, after a night's rest, I feel refreshed and ready to travel.
Xiang Nan has visited Thailand many times in real life and in the world of "Little Shede".
Although the social security here is not very good, but no matter the places of interest, local customs, or food, there are certain merits.
In addition, they are following a regular tour group, and all routes are planned in advance, so safety is still guaranteed.
Besides, with Xiang Nan around, ordinary thieves who want to play tricks are not opponents at all.
Therefore, this trip was basically not disturbed by the outside world, and everyone had a good time.
Xiang Nan's performance also made the group members full of praise.
First of all, he was the number one student in the college entrance examination in Beijing, a top student at Tsinghua University, tall and handsome, and a man of talent. Moreover, he also wrote books by himself, earning millions for his family. No matter how you look at it, he is the child of other people's family, so he is only enviable.
Secondly, in the process of traveling, Xiang Nan is also willing to help others, helping everyone carry their luggage, help with the gifts they bought, and help the tired elderly...
In addition, Xiang Nan is fluent in English, has strong organizational skills, and is well-informed... When the group members want to buy something, they ask him to help bargain.
So after getting along for seven days, Xiang Nan became the favorite of the group.
Even Fang Hui's mother, Xu Yanxin, liked Xiang Nan very much, thinking that this child was really good.
Not only smart and capable, but also mature and generous, unlike other young people who are either dumbfounded, bluffing, or submissive and coy.
"Fang Hui, you should really learn from your classmate. Learn how to behave, treat people, and be smart..." Xu Yanxin secretly told her daughter, "If you can be half as capable as him, your mother will be very satisfied."
"Mom, is he that good?" Fang Hui asked in surprise.
After her parents divorced, she rarely saw her mother admire a boy so much. Her mother used to disdain men and grit her teeth.
"Men don't have a good thing~" is simply her mother's catchphrase. So Fang Hui was naturally surprised to see her admiring Xiang Nan so much now.
"Of course." Xu Yanxin nodded.
Xiang Nan is really doing a good job in dealing with people and dealing with others. There are nearly 50 people in the tour group, including men, women, old and young, with different personalities.
Xiang Nan was able to win the praise of so many people, this ability is really not small.
In comparison, although my daughter is also a top student at Tsinghua University, after seven days of contact, most of the group members probably don't even know her name.
This is the gap.
"Daughter, aren't you classmates? I think he is also very enthusiastic about you." Xu Yanxin said again, "Work hard and see if you have a fate with him."
"..." Fang Hui was shocked when he heard this.
Before, Xu Yanxin unanimously opposed her puppy love. Now he encourages her to actively pursue Xiang Nan? ! The sun really came out from the west.
"Mom, what did you say, did I hear you right?" She asked puzzled.
"Of course I heard that right. Before you had to take the college entrance examination, of course mom didn't want you to distract yourself. But now that you're an adult, I still care about what you do." Xu Yanxin explained, "You are mom's only daughter, and of course mom has to think about your future.
But having said that, there is no shortage of people chasing a man like this. Moreover, even if you marry him, you have to guard against other women outside her. well! "
Xu Yanxin went to work in the sea in the 1990s, and has a net worth of nearly ten million. Although she is not the richest man, she is still a little rich woman, and she has a natural and accurate eye for people.
When Fang Hui heard her mother praise Xiang Nan so much, she couldn't help but secretly delighted, "Actually, I've been with your daughter for a long time."
…
After returning to Beijing from Thailand, Fang Hui quietly told Xiang Nan what her mother said.
"It's really an honor for my aunt to look up to me so much." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Then some day, I'll accompany you home and meet my aunt."
"What are you doing?" Fang Hui was taken aback and asked hastily.
"Meet the parents." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Isn't there a saying that an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually meet her in-laws, so shouldn't my ugly son-in-law also visit his mother-in-law?"
"I hate you..." Fang Hui said shyly.
She is not ready to meet her parents yet.
"See you early and see you later." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Take your time to build your mind. When you are ready, we will see you later."
"Yes." Fang Hui nodded.
…
In January 2002, Xiang Nan released a new book "Grassy Years".
The humorous style of writing, the pungent words, the humor and ease of helplessness, and the seemingly cynical profundity make this book highly praised by book lovers again.
The first edition printed one million copies, and the final sales volume reached more than three million copies. Such achievements made Xiang Nan the best-selling emerging writer at the beginning of the century.
As for the royalties earned by "Grass Sample Love", Xiang Nan did not leave it to his family.
Because neither Chen Jianjun nor Zhang Xiaohua has financial skills. Holding a huge sum of millions in his hand, he only knows how to deposit it in the bank to earn interest.
Don’t talk about starting a company or starting a business by yourself, you can’t even buy funds, stocks, houses, or gold, and you miss a lot of opportunities to make money.
So Xiang Nan kept the manuscript fee for "Grass Sample Love" and invested it himself. The main thing is stock speculation, and there are also real estate speculation and calligraphy and painting.
The so-called prosperous times hide antiques, and troubled times hide gold.
At the beginning of the new century, with the rapid economic growth in the Mainland, people have more money in their hands, and they also begin to pay attention to cultural taste and financial investment.
Wenwan and antiques happen to be both, so they gradually become popular.
At the beginning of the century, the porcelain made by Kang Yongqian was only tens of thousands of yuan. In a few years, it will be hundreds of thousands or even millions, a huge increase of more than ten times or even dozens of times.
Xiang Nan originally had a very high level of appreciation for literary play. Now as soon as you make a move, you can naturally grab it with your hands, and you have really collected a lot of fine products.
In addition, Xiang Nan also collected a lot of works by domestic contemporary artists, such as Zhou Chunya, Zeng Fanzhi, Fang Lijun, etc.
The current paintings of these contemporary writers are basically tens of thousands of yuan a piece, which is extremely cheap. But after a few years, the value of these paintings will increase dozens or even hundreds of times.
Like Zeng Fanzhi, only 120,000 yuan was sold for one painting in 2000 years. By 2007, the annual turnover had reached 320 million yuan. In 2013, a piece of "The Last Supper" sold for a sky-high price of 180 million Hong Kong dollars.
It can be said that the bank's money printing machine is not worth as much as his pen.
So save some now, and it will be a huge wealth in the future.
