Chapter 157 Brother and Sister
Seeing his father's depression, Fang Hao said with a smile, "You still have such an excellent son as me! Besides, your abilities are top-notch. As long as you have a good platform, you will definitely be able to go up a few floors."

What Fang Hao said was true. At the beginning, Fang Zhengwei developed very well and could expand the scale of the company. But he was a little eager for success at the time, and happened to meet a scammer, resulting in a shortfall of funds and a lot of debts.

At that time, Fang Hao's family was in a very difficult situation, and people came to pay for the debt every now and then. Fang Zhengwei repaid the debt as quickly as possible, but it also caused him to fall ill from overwork. A serious illness delayed him for nearly a year. The factory started slowly. Although the scale was small, it was still doing well.

Therefore, Fang Hao has always believed that his father does not lack ability, but lacks a platform and a bit of luck.

Fang Zhengwei laughed: "How can you boast so much."

As soon as the voice fell, someone knocked on the door and walked in.

Fang Hao saw that the leader was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as his father. He was wearing a windbreaker and looked quite dignified. Behind the middle-aged man was a pair of young men and women, both about his age. The personable, the woman is gentle and graceful.The shadow of a middle-aged man can be seen in the appearance of the two, they are a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.

The middle-aged man was Fang Zhengwei's classmate Tian Qichao, and he also smiled and said, "Old classmate, what happened to you, and you are smiling so happily?"

Fang Zhengwei said with a smile: "I happened to talk about our embarrassing incidents in high school just now, and I think it's funny when I think about it."

Tian Qichao asked: "What embarrassment?"

Fang Zhengwei said: "Do you remember that in the second year of high school, we played football so hard in the afternoon that we fell asleep so tired from self-study in the evening."

"Oh, I remember."

Tian Qichao also laughed: "We were sitting in the bottom row at the time, I was a little sleepy, and suddenly felt that my eyes were very bright, so I muttered, 'Who turned on the light', and then asked you to turn off the light, You actually went to turn off the lights, which caused the whole class to laugh. The teacher on duty was stunned and called us outside the classroom for a training session."

The girl giggled when she heard the last word: "Dad, I didn't expect you to do such a stupid thing back then?"

"Young man, who hasn't done a few ridiculous things."

Tian Qichao saw Fang Hao: "Zhengwei, this is your son, he is indeed a handsome man, much more handsome than when you were young."

"Hi Uncle Tian, ​​I'm Fang Hao." Fang Hao greeted politely.

Fang Zhengwei smiled and said, "It's all the same. Back then we only paid attention to eating enough. It's not like in this age, we also need balanced nutrition, just like vegetables in the field. If the fertilizer is applied well, the growth will naturally be good."

"That's right."

Tian Qichao nodded and said, "Come on, you are all the same age, sit together and introduce yourself."

With a smile on her face, the girl stretched out her hand to Fang Hao: "Hi, my name is Tian Qi."

Fang Hao stretched out his hand, and took it back with a light squeeze.

"Tian Junmao." Tian Junmao also stretched out his hand, but his speech and expression seemed very strange.

After everyone was seated, Fang Zhengwei called the waiter to order, and everyone started chatting.

Tian Qichao asked, "Did Fang Hao graduate from university?"

The two old classmates met unexpectedly just now, and they just chatted briefly about the recent situation.

Fang Hao said: "It's still in big characters, but I have tinkered with some things to do."

Tian Qichao put the tea cup in his hand on the table: "Oh, are you planning to start your own business?"

"Forget it, let's find out by ourselves first." Fang Hao didn't want to say that he was in the antique business now, so as not to cause another surprise, and then he would have to waste a lot of words, and he felt annoyed by talking about it all the time. .

Tian Junmao curled his lips in disdain, and this action happened to be seen by Tian Qi: "Why, do you think that Fang Hao will be like you if you think that your business is not successful?"

Tian Junmao felt uncomfortable, and replied: "What's the matter with you, it's not fun not to expose the scars, is it?"

Tian Qi sneered and said: "Isn't it because you boasted that if you had 100 million, you would be able to turn 100 million into 1000 million in less than two years. As a result, within half a year, the 100 million was lost. I also borrowed 10 yuan from your classmate!"

In fact, the reason why Tian Qi has very strong opinions on this matter is mainly because she feels that her parents are too partial. Why did Tian Junmao propose to start a business and wanted 100 million start-up capital, and her parents gave it so happily. She wanted 30 to invest in partnership with friends , her parents kept nagging and asking, although they gave the money in the end, but the opportunity was missed. She made at least 20 less, and she was angry when she thought about it!
Tian Junmao felt very humiliated, and said with a dark face: "Everyone wrestles sometimes!"

"You said that at the beginning..."

"alright, alright!"

Tian Qichao interrupted his daughter: "It's all over, why are you still talking about this, and don't look at the occasion!"

Both Tian Qi and Tian Junmao fell silent and stopped talking.

Fang Hao looked on coldly, it seems that the relationship between the siblings is not very good, and Tian Junmao's personality looks similar to his performance, with a bit of a young and old style, and Tian Qi next to him looks smiling, like a lady of everyone The appearance, but the reality may not be easy to match.

Tian Qichao brought the topic back again: "Fang Hao, what field do you plan to start a business in?"

"Well, it seems that there is no escape."

Fang Hao sighed inwardly, and said, "I'm opening an antique shop now."

Sure enough, Tian Qichao's family showed a look of surprise, and Fang Hao briefly explained the reason without waiting for them to ask questions.

Tian Junmao said indifferently: "The antique business is not easy to do now, right? Last time I accompanied a friend to Panjiayuan, there was no decent stuff there. Panjiayuan is like this, and other places can be imagined."

Fang Hao said: "It's okay, the key still depends on the individual's ability."

"You seem to be a master!" Tian Junmao thought disdainfully in his heart, seeing Fang Hao's polite appearance, he would involuntarily compare with his sister Tian Qi next to him, no matter how he looked, it was disgusting.

Tian Qichao said: "Yes, personal ability is indeed very important to collect antiques. Two years ago, when I was having dinner with my friends, I talked about this industry. There are many fakes in the market and few real ones. Some collectors who have been playing for many years, If you are not careful, you will be deceived, and even your family will go bankrupt overnight."

While talking, Tian Qichao kept looking at his old classmates, and everyone could see the meaning of the reminder.

"I generally don't care about his affairs. He makes his own decisions. I only have one request, not to be in debt. Now he is doing well. So far, I have not provided him with a penny. The watch he wears He also bought it with his own money.”

Fang Zhengwei felt a little proud: "Just let you see how outstanding my son is."

Tian Junmao saw the watch in Fang Hao's hand. He has studied Rolex deeply, so he can naturally tell what kind of watch it is. Fang Hao really bought it with money?Comparing himself to himself, he not only lost money but also owed debts, which was clearly a slap in the face for him!
Tian Qi looked at Fang Hao with her big eyes: "Fang Hao, can you show me this watch?"

Of course, Fang Hao couldn't refuse on this occasion, so he took the watch off his wrist.

Tian Qi looked at the watch very carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "This is the real Rolex. It doesn't look like the one you wear, brother. You say it is an imitation, and you still refuse to admit it!"

Tian Junmao knew that it would be no good for Tian Qi to call his elder brother, and after listening to the words later, he almost exploded in anger: "I said, don't talk nonsense!"

Tian Qi chuckled: "Show Fang Hao your watch and ask him if I'm talking nonsense!"

Fang Hao really wanted to yell: "Hey, can you stop dragging me into the conflict between you two brothers and sisters!"

Tian Qichao was also very depressed. He knew that the relationship between the siblings was indeed a bit tense, so he took advantage of this period of vacation to take the siblings out to relax and improve the relationship. Now it seems that not only has it not improved, but it has already arrived It cannot be ignored.

"Here!" Tian Junmao handed the watch to Fang Hao, with a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Fang Hao reluctantly took it, hoping that there would be no problem with this watch, but the reality did not allow him to do so. This is indeed a fine imitation.

In other words, the workmanship of other aspects of this watch is really very realistic, and there are no major problems. However, most of the imitations have a shortcoming. The logo is not well done, so the most likely to be exposed is this Logo.

Often the genuine metal Logo is as bright as new, while most imitations have rough edges and irregular fonts.If it is the lacquered part, the real edge of the genuine product is generally smooth and without burrs, while the imitation product is prone to traces of edge melting, and the fonts are of different shades, but it is difficult for non-professionals to see.

To say that the logo of this watch is also very real, but it is unavoidable, the problem is still the same, but not so obvious, but compared with the real one, in Fang Hao's eyes, the difference is somewhat obvious, at this moment, Fang Hao felt that the watch in his hand was like a time bomb, it was too hot to touch.
