Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!
Chapter 195 Listen to me, you won’t go wrong!
Liu Yiwen was scolded by his sister and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Meilan, can you please listen to me? I am so much older than you, how can I not understand these principles?"
"Ah?" Liu Meilan was startled. "Did I misunderstand you? Second brother, it's obviously you who didn't explain clearly! I'm listening now, please continue."
Liu Yiwen pursed his lips, shook his head and laughed, not arguing with his sister. "I know there are submersibles in China, but they are military and will not be sold. I hope to purchase submersibles from abroad through some scientific research or military channels, and we will pay for it."
Liu Meilan was stunned. "Does it have to go through the military? Can't we just buy it directly? Besides, many of these devices are banned from sale in China. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them."
"Besides, the water in the South China Sea is very deep, hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters deep. Even if you find it, you can't fish it out. Instead of these seemingly quick-profit projects that are actually difficult to realize, you might as well think about the ornamental fish I mentioned to you last time."
Liu Meilan's words poured cold water on Liu Yiwen, "Hey, is it really impossible?"
Although Liu Meilan can ask the big turtle for help, it’s not now.
Even if we cooperate with Liu Yiwen, we have to see whether Liu Yiwen is worth cooperating with.
Projects such as ornamental fish breeding and fish tanks were suggestions made by Liu Meilan to Liu Yiwen, and were actually also tests.
She would never allow herself to use her powers to help someone who might hurt her in the future.
Liu Yiwen’s attitude change is not bad, but if she has conflicts with Liu Yuxin in the future, what will he choose?
"No! Besides, this is just a coincidence. It's not like I can always find treasure from a shipwreck on the seabed. It's not certain. I may find it, or I may not."
"What if the submersible you bought at a high price is shipped here, and the seabed salvage company is established and people are hired, but I can't find the location of the sunken ship on the seabed, then all your investment will be wasted?"
Liu Yiwen nodded when he heard this. "That's true. I took it for granted! Are you free tomorrow? I'll treat you to a meal!"
Liu Meilan refused, "I'm busy! I have to rush back to Sifang Island tomorrow morning. I'll have to rest for one more day, and then I'll go out to sea tomorrow! The weather is good before the New Year, so I'll do more work."
Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal next time you come back!"
Liu Meilan agreed, "Let's talk about it later when we have a chance!"
After Liu Meilan hung up the phone, Tang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meilan, it's a good thing you refused just now. I was so worried that you would agree. I almost pulled out the phone line!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I'm not stupid! Treasures from a sunken ship are something you only encounter by chance. If I don't find it in the future, I can't take the responsibility!"
"Besides, money is attractive, especially treasures like this! Even if you work hard to get it from the bottom of the sea, in the eyes of others, it is just free money, and there are many people who are jealous!"
"Dad is at a critical moment right now, and I don't want to hold him back! Besides, we will soon have two ships, and we can make a lot of money every time we go out to sea. There is really no need to think of making money that is beyond our ability."
Tang Xiaoyu looked at Liu Meilan with eyes full of admiration, and she hugged Liu Meilan tightly.
"Meilan, you are amazing! You are so young and yet you can resist the temptation of treasure. Not everyone can do that!"
Liu Meilan felt a little embarrassed by Tang Xiaoyu's praise, her face slightly reddened, "Although your hug is very warm, could you please not strangle me? If someone didn't know, I would think you were going to murder me!"
Tang Xiaoyu quickly let go of Liu Meilan, "I was too excited just now! Your second brother's business may not be very good recently, and he is a bit eager for quick success!"
"When doing business with your second brother, you must remember that even if you are siblings, you must settle accounts clearly. It is better to be a villain first and a gentleman later than to smooth things over from the beginning."
Liu Meilan chuckled and raised her eyebrows slightly, "I will hand over all my business to you. When the time comes, you can talk to my second brother about how to cooperate. My second brother can't take advantage of me in front of you."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu chuckled, "I dare not say anything else, but I have plenty of ways to deal with your second brother! It's fine if he follows the rules, but if he doesn't, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Yes, that's the way it should be!" Liu Meilan smiled, "We are doing business, not charity!"
The two people have similar personalities, they smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
Speaking of charity, Tang Xiaoyu blinked his eyes, "Meilan, people on the island say that you are Mazu, blessed by the Dragon King. Now it's the end of the year, there will be some sacrificial activities. Everyone can donate money if they have money, and donate labor if they have strength!"
"Although our seafood fishing company was established not long ago, I think we have to spend money on this kind of occasion. As the saying goes, a tree's shadow is like a person's reputation. If we make money, we must leave a name for ourselves. What do you think?"
Liu Meilan thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since there is such an event, let's participate! It's up to you. How much money do you need? You can withdraw it from your account!"
"By the way, we should not only thank Mazu and Dragon King, but we should also not ignore the sufferings of the world. Our Sifang Island Welfare House has both lonely elderly people and orphans."
"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. We don't have the ability to help the world, but we can still make the lonely elderly and orphans in the welfare home have a better life this winter and this New Year!"
"Don't just give money. Who knows where that money will go! Buy some food and send it over so that the elderly and children can wear clothes and eat food!"
Tang Xiaoyu was touched. "Okay! I'll prepare these things and we'll send them over together. Leave your name and ask you, the boss, to come forward."
Liu Meilan actually didn't like being thanked and complimented. "No need, eh? You can just do it for me?"
Tang Xiaoyu shook his head. "How can that be? You have really spent real money to do good things, so you should be praised and commended by everyone. Although I enjoy such praise, I also have to be realistic! I can't take all the credit for your money."
"Since we are planning to cultivate Sifang Island, we must demonstrate our influence on Sifang Island! Influence here is not just about being rich, but whether you are rich and willing to help others and society."
"If we are willing to help, no matter how rich we are, we are entrepreneurs, and we will help others to become rich. If we are not willing to help, even if we are not as hostile as before, we are real capitalists, and we are rich but unkind."
"Also, Meilan, you must not underestimate the benefits of a good reputation. My great-grandfather and my grandfather were wealthy people on the island in their early years. Back then, our family had many fishing boats, but after making money, after deducting expenses, 50% of the profits were distributed to employees. The remaining 20% was used to help the people in need on the island."
"During the ten years of the flood, some people wanted to deal with my great grandfather and my grandfather, but the people on the island disagreed! They knew that our Tang family did not exploit others on Sifang Island. We organized the people on the island to make money together."
"The marine environment was even worse at that time. There were no such sturdy boats, and fishermen often died at sea. The elderly, the weak, women and children who stayed behind were also able to get enough help to survive."
Liu Meilan was stunned. "Xiaoyu, since you told me so, I will go with you then!"
Tang Xiaoyu smiled, "That's right! I know you want to do good things and don't want to leave your name behind, but you can't go wrong if you listen to me on this matter."
"Yeah!" Liu Meilan nodded. In many things, she was not as good as Tang Xiaoyu.
Even if she lived her life again, she might not be able to compare to him.
It is most important for a person to know himself. This is how Liu Meilan evaluates herself.
The next morning, Tang Xiaoyu took Liu Meilan to have morning tea.
Tang Xiaoyu is serious about making money, but he is devout to delicious food.
Because they had to go back to the island, Tang Xiaoyu and Liu Meilan came early, it is now eight o'clock.
There were guests inside, but not too many.
After all, at this time, those who get up early need to go to work or do their work.
Those who get up late haven't gotten up yet and haven't come here.
After finding a good seat, Tang Xiaoyu handed the menu to Liu Meilan, "Meilan, you order."
Liu Meilan took a look and ordered shrimp dumplings. "I don't know which ones taste good here. I'll order one shrimp dumpling. You can order the others. I trust your choice." (Photo)
Tang Xiaoyu chuckled, "I often come here to eat, and I can say that the food here is delicious. You can order whatever you want and you won't make mistakes."
Hearing this, Liu Meilan ordered steamed chicken feet with sauce. (Photo)
This steamed chicken feet with sauce is also a must-order specialty for morning tea. The chicken feet look like tiger skin, taste sweet and sticky, and slightly spicy. It is also a very delicious delicacy.
Seeing that Liu Meilan was ordering slowly, Tang Xiaoyu started ordering together.
After a while, the food we ordered was brought up by the waiter and placed on the table. (Photo)
The portion size is not big, but they ordered a lot.
You can eat a few bites of each and enjoy the delicious taste.
Liu Meilan ate while giving Tang Xiaoyu a thumbs up, not bothering to speak.
At this moment, she understood the meaning of making money.
Eating is the simplest way to make people feel happy.
After dinner, Liu Meilan specifically talked to the boss lady, "Boss lady, your morning tea is really good."
The lady boss was also friendly, "Sister, if you like it, come here often. Next time, I'll give you a free portion of our specialty dim sum."
"Okay, I'll come again next time." Liu Meilan nodded. She decided that every time she stayed overnight in the city, she would get up early and have breakfast.
Tang Xiaoyu also exchanged a few words with the proprietress, and was given a handful of mints made in her own shop.
"Welcome back next time." The proprietress escorted the guests to the door and greeted them warmly.
"Yes." Liu Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu held the refreshing mint throat lozenges given by the proprietress in their mouths.
After eating, eat a piece of candy to freshen your breath.
"Life in the city is very rich, right?" Tang Xiaoyu asked, "You were busy with work before the New Year. After the New Year, when we have some free time, let's go shopping. It's more fun here at night."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, it's a good opportunity to buy some nice clothes."
It was not far from the pier, so they walked there.
Zhou Ze and Wu Yong went out to play today and returned to Sifang Island in the afternoon.
Liu Meilan drove the boat and took Tang Xiaoyu back to Sifang Island.
When Mr. Liu saw his granddaughter coming back, he whispered, "Meilan, do you know how many gold bars you found in the shipwreck treasure?"
"It was detected so quickly?" Liu Meilan was surprised. It was so fast.
"Of course you have to be proactive when it comes to digging for treasure," Mr. Liu replied. "You'll never guess."
Liu Meilan knew there were ten ships, but she had no idea how many there were.
"Since you know I can't guess, don't let me guess!" Liu Meilan said coquettishly, "Grandpa, tell me!"
Old Master Liu lowered his voice and said, "Preliminary detection showed that they have salvaged more than 50 tons. They have already salvaged half of it. They will be able to salvage the rest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Not only are there gold bricks, but there are also many Western-style gold vessels, which can be considered antiques from Western countries."
Liu Meilan was shocked. "So many?"
Old Master Liu nodded. "Of course. With the development of the country, we need foreign exchange and gold everywhere. More than 50 tons! If we sell those Western-style antiques in the West, we can probably get a lot of foreign exchange."
Liu Meilan knew very well that China was now in a development stage and needed to introduce technology and develop, which required various foreign exchange.
"I am proud to be able to make some money for the country." Liu Meilan said with a smile, "I will tell my father later and ask him to commend me."
Mr. Liu touched Liu Meilan's head and said, "You don't need to tell your father. Your contribution has been reported and you must be commended."
"That's great. I'll prepare a box to store my certificates." Liu Meilan said with a smile, "By the way, Grandpa, my second brother called me last night and wanted to... but I rejected him!"
When Mr. Liu heard this, he glared and said, "What a jerk! Even if that thing is from the high seas, you can't touch it. It's not technically possible, and it might be a waste of time. There's no guarantee that you will find the treasure from the shipwreck."
"Besides, even if the technology is capable of finding the treasure from the sunken ship, even if it can make money, it's too conspicuous. I'll call him and scold him later. How can a grown man be so careless?"
Seeing that the old man was angry, Liu Meilan quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, don't be angry, and don't call and scold my second brother. I rejected him yesterday. Otherwise, if he knew that I complained, he might be angry with me."
"He dares?" Old Master Liu snorted coldly, "He can't be killed!"
Liu Meilan helped the old man into the house, "Grandpa, my second brother might just be talking on a whim. Don't take it to heart. Just give me some face and don't call and scold my second brother."
After hearing his granddaughter's words, Mr. Liu thought for a moment, then nodded, "For your sake, I won't call and scold him. But I heard recently that his business is not doing well, and he is looking for new investment projects. I think the ornamental fish you suggested last time are very good."
"If you have the relevant technology, you can get it. I really like the fish in the tank now. They are so pretty. Your second brother also told me to buy a big fish tank, but I don't know when he will buy it."
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "If your second brother doesn't buy it for you, I will buy it for you, Grandpa."
Old Master Liu waved his hand, "No, even though you make money, you should save it. Your second brother makes money, but he spends it recklessly. He might as well buy things for me."
At this moment, Liu Meilan also wanted to see whether her second brother was just talking to his family or really taking action?
