Chapter 633 A Calamity This Year
Since the weather was nice, Su Yehao got Bucky Tooth and a few others to help out as laborers.
After shearing the alpacas, he drained most of the water from the small pond, letting the koi soak in a medicinal bath for sterilization and disinfection.
Afterward, he specifically hired a sprinkler truck to draw water from a nearby large pond, directly filling the pond to avoid tap water harming the fish.
Seeing his healthy lifestyle, with numerous valuable potted plants in the yard, He Shaofan couldn't help but joke that his mentality was already old, giving off the vibe of watching a retired old man.
Su Yehao didn't care about this; he had gradually come to his senses over the past few years.
The koi in the small pond were worth more than five million Hong Kong dollars, and he had spent more than ten million Hong Kong dollars on buying potted plants.
A Japanese magazine once planned the top ten bonsai in the country, and now he has four of them, including the "Heavenly Emperor Pine" that was moved away by the old master, which means he has already acquired half of them.
Strolling around his own yard in his free time, picking some vegetables in the specially cultivated small vegetable garden, watching the alpacas walk around, and watching the little pandas lazily lying down, the feeling of self-cultivation is also extremely good.
He planned to keep them for dinner, and Bucky Tooth and the others didn't refuse.
Considering that He Shaofan's family had considerable strength, with a lot of room to choose from, he might be difficult to discipline if he was too relaxed for too long. Su Yehao really wanted to send him to his old man's side to do some chores and be bossed around for a while.
As for Bucky Tooth and Bamboo Pole, Su Yehao believed he could keep them in check, so he planned to arrange something else for them, something that didn't require much technical skill.
For example, going to Bigui Garden to learn from Boss Yang how to develop real estate, or sending them to the construction team of Sihai International Group to directly follow up on the development of the Kai Tak Digital Port project. This would also allow them to act as supervisors, preventing anyone from having crooked thoughts and reaching into their own pockets.
After a period of preparation, the design work for Kai Tak Digital Port has been completed.
The American SOM.
Although the previous plan similar to the Burj Khalifa was cool, the cost was too high. Even if Su Yehao was willing to spend the money, the other shareholders weren't happy, and Hong Kong has many typhoons, so this aspect had to be considered.
Therefore.
Su Yehao's ambition could only be postponed for now. He planned to wait until the Qianxin City developed before considering moving a super high-rise building similar to the Burj Khalifa there.
The Kai Tak Digital Port only has a solitary high-rise building, but Qianhai plans to create a cluster of high-rise buildings, which can provide shelter from the wind, and the cost of artificial building materials is much cheaper than in Hong Kong.
Su's father's Sihai International Group has invested in three cement plants in Pengcheng, and also dabbles in other building materials industries, which is much more cost-effective than building high-rise buildings in Hong Kong.
However, correspondingly, the rent in Hong Kong cannot be compared to that of Pengcheng.
Including the investment in Lujiazui and the projects of his old man, the family will have several more skyscrapers in the future.
Anyway, investing in office buildings in this era is not only relatively stable, but also has a very good expected return. So Su Yehao doesn't think there are too many. He invests two to three percent of the funds himself, and borrows the rest from the bank. The rent is enough to pay the interest, and the appreciation of the real estate is pure profit...
Playing mahjong with friends, it was evening in the blink of an eye.
After Nangong Tian came back, she found them playing and immediately complained, "You didn't even invite me, Hao-ge you've changed! You know I love playing mahjong the most."
Su Yehao got up and said with a smile, "It's the same now that you're back. We can continue playing mahjong with you after dinner. How did you feel about watching *Boys Over Flowers* today?"
"Don't mention it, I almost got beaten to death! My friends know that it hasn't been fully edited, and that they have to wait two or three months to see the rest, and they're all complaining, telling the director to hurry up and finish editing. So it seems it should be very good, and I also think the story is very attractive!"
After speaking triumphantly, the little girl added, "Since you're all here, I'll call Jiang Yu to eat together, she should have just gotten home."
He Shaofan joked, "Wow, Nangong, you're really so considerate. Why can't I meet a woman like you? No wonder Hao-ge has the word 'happiness' written all over his face."
Hearing this.
Su Yehao immediately glared at him, signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Just then, Grandpa Tang's voice came, asking, "Xiaohao, where are you? Why is it so lively at home today, with so many cars parked in the yard?"
Su Yehao went to greet him, saying, "Grandpa, why are you here? We can have dinner together tonight, a few of my friends came over to play today."
"Your friends? Forget it, I've been having stomach problems these days, and the doctor told me to drink more porridge."
Grandpa Tang waved his hand, signaling the driver to put two boxes, one large and one small, on the coffee table. When he opened them himself, he smiled and said:
"Look what I brought you. Do you remember you mentioned the God of Wealth version of the Guan Gong statue before? When I went to buy hand pieces, I mentioned it to the carving master, and he was really inspired and designed it."
Su Yehao became interested: "You said it wasn't suitable last time, why did you change your mind?"
His grandpa said decisively, "Guan Erye, the Martial God of Wealth, right? The carving master said it's not taboo, and I think there's some truth to it..."
When the small jewelry box was opened, Su Yehao found that there was a piece of imperial green lying inside, no worse than the one around his neck.
The Guan Gong on it had strong biceps, holding a gold ingot in his left hand, and a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his right hand, wearing a hat of the God of Wealth, with a kind expression.
When it comes to jadeite, Hong Kong people like this material the most now, and it is the easiest to sell at a high price.
As a result, once good jadeite is mined, it is almost always sent to Hong Kong first.
There was also an ornament, more than twenty centimeters high, also in the image of Guan Gong holding a gold ingot in his hand. His upper body was not wearing clothes, the muscle lines were lifelike, and he was stepping on a three-legged golden toad holding a coin in its mouth.
Although the material did not reach imperial green, it was only a slight difference, the color was very green, and it was also very transparent.
Grandpa Tang said calmly, sat down to rest, and asked casually:
"I haven't paid yet, I brought it back first. If you like it, keep it. Just display it yourself, you don't need to enshrine it. The feng shui is already very good now, and changing it will easily damage your fortune. Everything has been smooth sailing at home in recent years, and the wealth has been rolling in, but I had a fortune teller calculate for you on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and he said you will have a calamity this year."
Su Yehao replied, "Keep it, it looks quite pleasing. It's the first time I've seen a smiling Guan Erye. How much do the two pieces cost in total? I don't know about the calamity, but anyone with eyes can see that there's already a problem with the Internet market. That's probably what they're referring to. Grandpa, don't waste money trying to ward off disaster for me."
He still remembered that the Wong Tai Sin in Casino, 1997 actually graduated with a degree in finance. No wonder he played a group of businessmen around, and the accuracy rate was quite high.
Grandpa Tang smiled and continued:
"Better to believe it than not, I asked for a talisman for you, you can take it and put it under your pillow later. These two pieces of goods cost a total of one million three hundred thousand. The carving master is an old acquaintance of mine, and the price is relatively fair. It took him a full month and a half to carve this ornament, and I think the labor and materials are worth the price..."
