Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

After the acquisition of Wharf Holdings was completed, He Lai was in an extremely good mood and immediately began to imagine what a sturdy cash cow this was.

When I drove back home, I saw Yu Shui and Wu Juan walking in the garden, and He Tong was lying on Dou Dou's back and playing next to them.

At this time, Yu Shui was already nine months pregnant and would give birth in a few days.

"Mother, rain."

"Brother Lai, you're back!" Yu Shui smiled when she heard He Lai's voice.

"Well, how is it, is the little one in your belly well behaved today?"

He Lai walked to Yu Shui, touched her belly and said.

"I'm being well behaved." Yu Shui replied.

"Mom, why don't you speak?" He Lai turned and looked at Wu Juan.

"No matter what I say, you won't listen. I'll leave Yu Shui to you. I have to go pick up Wen'er and the others."

After Wu Juan finished speaking, she walked towards the garage.

"Mom, don't drive by yourself. Lao Jin, hurry up and call Lao Li over."

He Lai said quickly.

In half a year, Yu Shui and Wu Juan both learned how to drive, but Wu Juan's driving was a little worrying. The car jerked around a lot, and people with weak heart could easily get into accidents.

Butler Jin seemed to be well prepared and said respectfully, "Master, it's okay. Old Li has been waiting in the garage."

"Oh, that's good. You should be careful. If my mother wants to drive herself, you should send a few more people to follow her to avoid any accidents."

He Lai ordered.

We still need to be on guard against the dangers of female drivers. Besides, the traffic in Hong Kong City is opposite to that in China. Vehicles in Hong Kong City drive on the left, while vehicles in China drive on the right.

You still have to be careful, otherwise it would be bad if you hit someone but hurt yourself.

"Daddy, Daddy, hold me." He Tong ran over and said.

"Okay, daddy, hold you. My little princess has gained weight again." He Lai naturally met this request unconditionally.

"Tongtong is not heavy, Daddy, I want to ride a big horse!" He Tong said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, let's go ride on big horses." He said, then put He Tong on his neck, opened his arms and ran.

This caused Yu Shui to keep shouting behind him, asking He Lai to slow down, for fear that he would drop He Tong.

After playing for a while, He Tong finally lay obediently in He Lai's arms, obviously a little tired.

Yu Shui took out a handkerchief to wipe He Lai's sweat and said with a smile: "Luckily mom is not here, otherwise she will definitely scold you for corrupting Tongtong again."

"Just turn around once in a while. If you don't tell me, Mom won't know."

He Lai said nonchalantly, took the handkerchief and helped He Tong wipe it.

He Tong was almost asleep at this time.

Not long after, Wu Juan came back with Wen'er and Wu'er.

"Brother, brother, I got a C, look, look." Wu'er ran over holding a report card.

He Lai took the report card and saw that it was indeed a C, but it was C-, but it was barely passing.

"Well, not bad, not bad, but you have to work harder next time, okay?"

He Lai smiled.

"Then brother, you have to take me out to play this weekend. You promised me." Wu'er said happily.

"What are you playing at? Look at Wen'er, he got an A, and then look at you, you only got a C with a minus, which means you're the worst, and you're at the bottom of the class. The teacher told me that if you hadn't gotten an A-plus in physical education, you would still have failed.

It's really a waste of money to hire a teacher who comes to your home every week to teach you, and yet you still get such a low score on the test."

Wu Juan said bluntly.

"I don't care, I don't care, big brother promised me that if I get a C, you'll take me out to play. Big brother, please say something, please say something."

Wu'er shook He Lai's arm frantically and begged.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you out to play. I'll take you out to play. I really admire you."

He Lai couldn't resist Wu'er's offensive and agreed directly.

"Oh... you can go play. You can go play. You don't have to go to class."

Wu'er said this happily, and ran upstairs and returned to her room, fearing to hear Wu Juan's objection.

"Just spoil her. She'll get spoiled sooner or later!" Wu Juan said angrily.

"Mom, that's still some progress. Don't be like this. Besides, I promised her before. You were there at the time and didn't object."

He Lai could only explain.

"Okay, just this once. Next time you have to go to B to take her out."

Wu Juan finally compromised and asked Wen'er, "Wen'er, where do you want to go this weekend? Mommy will take you there."

"Mom, I want to go to the beach. My eldest brother took me there once last time and it was so beautiful."

Wen'er thought about it and said.

"Okay, Mom will take you there."

"Thank you, mother."

"Good boy."

As expected, Wen'er and Wu'er were treated differently.

……

Life returned to normal, Yu Shui soon gave birth to a boy, and the whole family began to revolve around this boy again.

He Lai named him He Xin, just in time for him to inherit his Lai Xin Industry in the future.

He Lai didn't care whether he wanted it or not, he just took it first.

What? Many strokes? Which traditional Chinese character has fewer strokes? He Lai thought his son would not have any objection.

As for Wen'er and Wu'er, they are now gradually integrating into Gangcheng's learning mode.

Gradually, I learned a little English and Cantonese. Of course, this was also the result of He Lai hiring a tutor to provide special guidance.

Sometimes Wu Juan and Yu Shui would learn a little, but most of the time they were taught by Jiang Xiaoman, Lou Xiao'e and a few other women.

The gambling ship business was delayed for a long time because of this movement, but it finally opened.

The 100 million U.S. dollars that He Lai invested did have some effect, making the bigwigs in Las Vegas realize that He Lai was really rich.

Fu Huo first renovated two luxury cruise ships with all the necessary facilities. One was managed by Bo Hao, and the other was managed by local forces in Las Vegas to see who managed it better.

As He Lai continued to expand, Bo Hao's business grew bigger and bigger, and he was already moving closer to He Lai.

He gradually got rid of the flour business and focused on the jewelry business, and his subordinates were spread all over Helai's territory.

He Lai directly put the gems he got from Bo Hao into the space, because He Lai understood that gems are the same as diamonds, the rarer they are, the more expensive they are.

It's all hype. Diamonds are not really scarce, but they have all been hidden by the tycoons. Don't even mention one carat or two carats. If you have money, you can get dozens of carats of diamonds.

He Lai is also well aware of this truth. Scarcity makes things valuable. Take the second edition of RMB for example. He Lai thinks that if a large number of brand new Big Black Tens are discovered in the future, they will not be sold at a sky-high price. Of course not.

As for the jadeite raw stones, in the first few times, He Lai would check them one by one and pick out the high-grade ice jadeite raw stones.

In the end, He Lai was too lazy to care about it because there were too many of them, so he simply threw them all to Lu Zixuan and let him deal with it himself.

As for whether he uses it to hold a gambling stone exhibition or cut it himself, He Lai is up to him.

After all, these stones are very cheap, that is the real "stone price", no wonder people say that smuggled items are cheap, this is true.

Bo Hao also made a lot of money from it, and it was much safer than selling flour. He didn't have to worry about being checked. He only had to spend some money to transport things from Myanmar to the port city easily and continuously.

Gradually, he gave up the flour business. After all, He Lai had made him a lot of money in less than a year, which was much better than selling flour.

Selling flour is risky and slow in sales, and you have to share the profits with your younger brothers. But with this, you don’t have to do anything yourself. You can just unload the goods into Helai’s warehouse and ask Helai for money directly. It’s so easy.

As for He Zhan, he also set up a security company at the suggestion of He Lai.

They recruited a large number of special forces, mercenaries, and veterans who fled from China. They all had an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, which was enough for them to live a comfortable life in the port city.

After all, He Lai really needs the job of bodyguard. He has a large family and his safety must be guaranteed.

Although He Lai has always valued harmony and is polite to everyone, there is always the possibility that others will become jealous and attack him and his family.

Although his physical condition does not fear any danger, he still needs to protect his family, just in case.

After all, kidnapping and extortion are not uncommon in Hong Kong. Although it is said that patriotic businessmen will rarely be kidnapped, like Huo Ying, who never brings bodyguards when he goes out, He Lai feels that such things are unpredictable and accidents are inevitable.
