Chapter 2246
Wearing this thing too much is bad
Why did Liu Haizhong insist on persuading Liu Guangtian and his wife?
To put it bluntly, what alerted him wasn't that flowers are inedible or unwearable.
The problem is that the Yan family got involved.
In Liu Haizhong's opinion, Yan Laokou is an unreliable person, and with an even more unreliable Yan Jiekuang added to the mix, this business is simply not going to work.
He didn't want his second son to end up having to run away because of something.
What people do is not only seen by Heaven, but also by their neighbors.
Although no one openly complained about the changes in the Yan family over the past few years.
However, private discussions did not speak well of Yan Bugui and his wife.
Most older people share the same view.
In other words, the Yan family was living a good life, but the old couple ruined it and destroyed all their family affection.
In his entire life, there was no elder in charge of the courtyard, so Yan Bugui alone couldn't control public opinion.
People can say whatever they want.
On the contrary, most people had a good impression of Yan Jiecheng and the Jiefang brothers.
Yan Jiefang was hardworking and never thought of asking his parents for anything because of his son.
Especially after Yan Jiefang moved out recently, the neighbors looked at him with even more respect.
As for Yan Jiecheng, there's not much to say.
In the eyes of the neighbors, although this man is not very capable or responsible, he has a good wife.
A good wife brings prosperity to the family, and this saying is perfectly embodied in Lan Hua.
Liu Haizhong said that Liu Guangtian and his wife were willing to listen.
At least for now, orchids haven't reached the stage of widespread hype, and Liu Guangtian hasn't seen the huge profits involved, so he's not envious at all.
As for what will happen in the future, who can say for sure?
In a warehouse on Hong Kong Island, Lou Xiao'e covered her nose as she watched the workers carrying bundles of furs into the warehouse.
This is a small business that Lou Xiao'e has been running.
The annual transaction volume is only a little over ten million US dollars.
This was a small collaboration she negotiated with the local authorities when she went to the area outside the Great Wall to search for Lou Bancheng's remains.
Lou Xiao'e should have stopped this kind of business a long time ago.
Or find someone who specializes in this to introduce them to both sides; she'll just get a favor out of it.
But Lou Xiao'e still kept the business going.
Every winter, she would arrange for a purchasing team to travel to places outside the Great Wall and the Western Regions to purchase a batch of precious furs.
On the one hand, she used this industry as a means of social interaction.
Whenever she comes across a rare fur, she organizes a small appreciation event, inviting the wives of Hong Kong's wealthy families to come and admire it.
Some business deals are made over a small group of people sitting down and having a heart-to-heart talk.
This is similar to an industry launch event in the luxury goods sector, or a charity gala for certain celebrities.
The title doesn't matter; the key is to provide an opportunity for people at the same level to exchange ideas.
There was another reason, which Lou Xiao'e didn't tell anyone.
That trip to the area outside the Great Wall was of great significance to her.
After all, that was the trip where she and He Yuzhu fell in love.
"Keep four or five sets of shawl material for me from those shahtoosh, and send the rest to Europe..." Lou Xiao'e gave these instructions before quickly leaving the warehouse and taking a few long breaths.
The raw materials underwent preliminary processing while they were still in mainland China.
So the smell on it is really unpleasant.
The animal protection proposal put forward by He Yuzhu a few years ago has been implemented quite well.
It has now become an important source of local economic income.
How many hunting permits are issued locally each year, and how much is purchased?
There are certain fixed values for these.
Lou Xiao'e, on the other hand, took advantage of her exclusive business to raise the price of these goods three or four times.
Of course, there are still those who do it secretly. But it's much better than before.
There's no other reason; it's all about self-interest.
The locals saw the benefits of having an exclusive business.
Each year, by purchasing only one-quarter or one-fifth of the original cashmere, one can earn the same income as before.
And it can be a steady stream of income, with foreign exchange earnings increasing year after year.
Therefore, the local beneficiaries spontaneously began to protect these wild animals.
Previously, we didn't pay much attention to those who stole things, but now we deal with them one by one.
Especially those thieves who sneak into our house to steal things.
That's treating them like enemies.
This also allowed He Yuzhu's original intention to protect these things to be implemented to a certain extent.
That's just how things are.
The so-called protection and harm, to put it bluntly, are driven by self-interest.
If someone can earn the same income from planting just one acre of land as they would from planting five or six acres, then that person must be treating other farmers as their enemies.
It's that simple logic.
"Sister-in-law, is there any for me this time?" Guo Shumiao, who was standing next to her, asked ingratiatingly.
She naturally didn't care about a shawl, but it was different from what Lou Xiao'e got for free.
That would give her a great sense of accomplishment.
"One for Xiaoqian, one for her mom, one for my mom, one for me..."
Oh, and Xiaoqian's older sister also wants one.
"You really don't have any." Lou Xiao'e deliberately counted on her fingers.
"Huh?!" Guo Shumiao's face fell.
"Pfft..." Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and poked Guo Shumiao's forehead, laughing, "If you want one, I'll give you one."
But let me tell you, these things are just for novelty, don't treat them like treasures.
The smell of blood on this is too strong; wearing it on your body for a long time might not be a good thing.
Xiaoqian and I don't want it...
Upon hearing Lou Xiao'e say it wasn't good, Guo Shumiao asked in surprise, "Why isn't it good?"
"And you're not giving it to your daughter-in-law? Aren't you afraid she'll be angry?"
"...Don't you even think about where these things came from?"
They were all living beings, living perfectly well, and suddenly, because you love beauty, they lost their lives.
What do you think it should think of you?
Is it okay to wear it on your body for a long time?
Xiaoqian was the one who actively refused.
She said she was too young to handle all this. Lou Xiao'e gave a very devout explanation, and only when she talked about her daughter-in-law did she show a satisfied smile.
She was very satisfied with Carol Chu.
That girl didn't have the ostentation typical of children from wealthy families.
She was a clean and innocent girl, and what she enjoyed was the deepening relationship between her and He Xinghua.
The key point is that the girl had no interest in the He family's business whatsoever.
This made Lou Xiao'e increasingly satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
To reiterate, He Xinghua is too incompetent to support the He Group.
So, as a mother, she has to think about choosing a capable wife for her son.
For example, Xiao Qiong is very good.
Now it is clear that He Xinghua is quite outstanding among his peers.
So, as long as his wife can maintain the family well, serve her husband well, not cause trouble, and be able to bear children, she's already perfect enough. (End of Chapter)
