Chapter 2 The idea of ??making money
When talking about Yunnan, Zhang Jiancheng couldn't help but think of jade. Although the origin of jade is not Yunnan, there are many people in Yunnan who do jade business, especially Tengchong, Ruili and other places bordering Myanmar.
Zhang Jiancheng still clearly remembers that in his early years in his previous life, he met a woman from Yunnan to Yinhai and went to Yinhai for jade business. They had been dating for more than half a year. He also clearly remembers that since the mid-to-late 1990s, the price of jade soared.
"Investing in the purchase of jade raw materials is a good investment!" Zhang Jiancheng thought in his mind. After drinking the lean egg porridge, he smiled and said to Liu Lihua: "Mom, this time we will go to Kunming for two days, and then we will go to Tengchong Taobao Baby!"
"Tengchong?" Liu Lihua was slightly stunned, "Are you talking about Tengchong County in Baoding City?"
"Yes. I know from the book that Tengchong is close to Myanmar, which is one of the domestic jade processing and wholesale distribution centers. I want to buy some jade."
"Cared, why are you buying jade?" Liu Lihua wondered.
"Mom, that's what I think..."
Zhang Jiancheng began to express his thoughts and opinions: "Jade jade is a non-renewable resource, and we Chinese have loved jade since ancient times. After a large amount of Myanmar jade flowed into the Central Plains, it was loved by us Chinese. Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi especially liked jade. After their praise, jade was loved by Chinese and overseas Chinese..."
"If the transportation in ancient times was more convenient and Myanmar's jade could be easily transported to the Central Plains, I guess few emperors in ancient China would not like jade. Through reform and opening up, especially after Deng Xiaoping's southern tour, it is certain that in the future, the development of my country's national economy will maintain rapid growth. People have more money in their pockets, so they will definitely think about consumption. Originally, jade, something that only rich people can have, would enter the homes of ordinary people, but jade resources are limited and require more than supply. This supply-demand relationship will definitely cause a very sharp price increase..."
"Now, we invest in some jadeite, especially some not particularly expensive varieties. The price of jadeite will definitely soar in the next ten years. When the price of jadeite rises to a certain level, we will definitely make a lot of money by selling the jadeite in our hands."
Liu Lihua looked at her son with a smile, without interrupting a word.
"Mom, if you invest in a train ticket to Yunnan now, you will probably get a luxury business class ticket from Shanghai to Hawaii in ten years."
"Ha!" Liu Lihua reached out and pinched Zhang Jiancheng's face, "Jiancheng, where did you hear these words?"
"Does this still need to learn from others?" Zhang Jiancheng laughed, "The book doesn't say: gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times. Now, our country can be said to be peaceful and prosperous times, and the prices of antiques, jewelry, jade and other things must be getting higher and higher..."
Liu Lihua pondered for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, then I will accompany you to Tengchong to see the right jadeite, and it doesn't matter if you buy some."
"Thank you, mom!" Zhang Jiancheng leaned over Liu Lihua's face and kissed him, "Mom, how much do you plan to invest in?"
"How much do you want me to invest?"
"Of course the more, the better."
"We are not experts who understand jade, so you are not afraid of losing all your money." Liu Lihua paused and said, "Professor Fang knows jade very well. It seems that he goes to Yunnan every summer vacation. I met him yesterday afternoon. If he can be together, he will be much more safe."
"Mom, then call Grandpa Fang and ask if he would like to travel to Tengchong together!"
"This... I'll give it a try." Liu Lihua muttered, "I don't know if Professor Fang wants to go to Yunnan this summer."
Liu Lihua picked up the phone and made a call to the address book of the Fudan University teacher. After the phone was connected, she said, "Hey, hello, is this Professor Fang's home... Ah, Professor Fang, I am Liu Lihua... There is nothing wrong. This summer vacation, I plan to travel to Yunnan with my son, and I don't know what this child is thinking. I want me to accompany him to buy jadeite. You also know that I don't know anything about jadeite at all. I want to ask you if you are interested in traveling to Tengchong together... Ah, that's great. Professor Fang, tonight, you and Teacher Tan go to my house for a simple meal, and everyone will discuss the travel to Tengchong... OK, okay, you're welcome, see you that night!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Lihua glared at her son with a angrily glance and said, "Professor Fang agreed. He had planned to travel to Yunnan with his wife in a few days. He knew we were going to Tengchong and agreed to go together."
"That's great!" Zhang Jiancheng shouted.
Liu Lihua poured cold water and said, "Don't be happy too early. Even if you want to go to Tengchong to buy jade, you will not spend too much money."
"Mom, the money is stored in the bank, and there is not much interest. If you invest in jade, you will have at least 20% of the investment return every year. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that investing in jade is more profitable than placing money in the bank!"
"Huh!" Liu Huali stared at his son and looked up and down, "Jiancheng, I think you have a good fever this time. You are even more good at speaking. You also know the 'return on investment' and 'profit'..."
Zhang Jiancheng laughed and said, "It's all good for mothers to educate them!"
"I'll wait for your dad to come back to talk about this. Although we have some savings at home, it's impossible to just use a lot of money to buy jadeite after hearing your boy say a few words. What you said is 20% of the annual investment return, there is no basis at all."
Liu Lihua said to her son rationally, packed up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and said, "Jiancheng, go back to the house to rest. At noon, your father is not at home, so we will have lunch later. I will call you during lunch."
"Well, mom, then I'll go back to my room to rest!"
After Zhang Jiancheng returned to the bedroom, he was not sleepy. However, he still lay on the bed, looking at the white ceiling, his head became active, thinking about how to make money.
"Actually, there are still many ways to make money, and you don't have to make money through jade. With my understanding of the development trends of the world in the next eighteen years, based on the current assets of my family, if I were asked to invest, it would not be difficult to get two hundred times the profit in 18 years. Even if I have decided to go to Tengchong, I will invest and buy some jade. As for how much my parents want to invest, let them decide. Even if I don't buy jade, it doesn't matter if I just treat it as a trip... I should be calm. For me, the most important thing now is the family. I want to enjoy the warmth of my family and my mother's love for me..."
Zhang Jiancheng, who was lying on the comfortable bed, fell asleep in a daze. After falling asleep, a smile continued to hang on his face.
At around 1:00 p.m., Zhang Jiancheng was woken up by Liu Lihua.
Liu Lihua touched her son's forehead and nodded, "The fever has completely subsided."
"Mom, what should I eat for lunch?"
"Now your body has just recovered. I can eat too greasy food. I have only cooked a little millet porridge for you."
"Well, no matter what mom makes, I like to eat it!"
