The leisurely life of a reborn dad

"Why do you think of going to see the car now?" Cheng Xiaolin really couldn't understand.

Cao Shujie said to his wife: "I just saw the news. The Spring Auto Show in Quancheng will start tomorrow. It will last for three consecutive days. This time it will be very large and there will be many good cars."

He said: "Tomorrow is Saturday. We have nothing to do at home. Let's go over and take a look. If you have a car you like, I will buy you one."

"What about you?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him.

Cao Shujie chuckled: "If there is something that I like, of course I will buy it. The number in the bank card keeps increasing, but I can't spend it. Do you think it's bad or not?"

Cheng Xiaolin pursed her lips and smiled and asked him: "How much do you plan to buy me this time?"

"Anything up to 300 million is fine. That's all I have in cash." Cao Shujie stretched out three fingers. Looking at his serious expression, Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh.

However, Cao Shujie sold out all other stocks except Moutai last year and received a total of more than 400 million in cash.

But last year, I spent 12.6 million yuan to buy Bitcoin, and spent more than 28.9 million yuan to increase my position in Kweichow Moutai. Some of the remaining funds were successively invested in children's theme parks and cow breeding bases, and they were spent sporadically, and now they are still There are more than 300 million yuan in cash.

But Cao Shujie has not moved the money earned by the company. If he adds that, his funds will be one or two billion more.

But there are no big projects at the moment.

As for buying a car, Cao Shujie started thinking about it during the Spring Festival.

Two months passed until Lei Jun came over. Cao Shujie looked at his Porsche Cayenne and found it pleasing to his eyes. Then he looked back at his own GL8, which he had driven for more than four years, and felt that it didn't taste good anymore.

"Tomorrow, right? Then I'll ask Fangfang if she's going. If she goes too, she can help me drive the car when she comes back." Cheng Xiaolin was thinking loudly, planning to buy whatever she liked.

Cao Shujie didn't care. Her sister didn't go back until after the Qingming Festival. She had nothing to do at home these days, so she might as well go out with them.

"Shujie, you hold Yi Rui, I'll go down and ask Fangfang." Cheng Xiaolin said, after finishing speaking, she dragged her son's armpit and handed him over.

The little guy was quite happy to be hugged by his father. He stretched out his little hands to grab Cao Shujie's chin: "Dad."

He calls 'Daddy' more clearly now than before.

After hearing this, Cao Shujie kissed his son on the cheek very affectionately: "Ruirui, daddy will take you out to play tomorrow, okay?"

"I'll buy you a big toy then." He said.

When the little guy heard about the big toy, he happily waved his little hands to grab his father's face, but Cao Shujie didn't dare to let him grab it.

This kid was too young, so he didn't strike lightly or harshly, and his fingernails were very sharp. Cao Shujie hadn't noticed before, but his son's claws came down and scratched a few bloody marks on his face.

…

Cheng Xiaolin came down from upstairs and found her sister-in-law. After telling her about going to Quancheng to watch the auto show tomorrow, Cao Huifang showed great interest.

In addition, there was nothing to do at home, and her mother Wang Yuelan wanted to talk to her about finding a partner to get married. When Cao Huifang saw something was wrong, she was ready to run away after just a few days of comfortable life.

Or find an excuse to go out for a walk. My sister-in-law goes to a car show, which is exactly what she wants.

"Sister-in-law, you're leaving early tomorrow morning, right?" Cao Huifang asked him.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "Well, your brother said we'll leave tomorrow morning."

"How many days should we go?" She gave a serious suggestion: "Sister-in-law, I don't think we can watch it all in one day. Let's tentatively plan for two days, take our time, and try the car more. Don't be in a hurry."

Cheng Xiaolin understood her sister-in-law's current situation, but she still couldn't help but laugh when she heard such serious nonsense.

"Let's take a look. If you buy it in advance, you can go to other places and you don't have to come back in a hurry," she said.

After Cao Huifang heard this, she wished she could hug her sister-in-law and give her a kiss.

In the evening, Cao Shujie also told his father about going to Quancheng to watch the car show tomorrow.

Cao Jianguo was quite interested, but Wang Yuelan didn't want to go. She even asked her husband Cao Jianguo to help her set up a stall at home.

After telling her son some time ago, Wang Yuelan became more and more interested in setting up a stall. She didn't care about how much money she could make, but she wanted to find some work for herself.

There is no way, I have been busy all my life and I can’t rest!

When Cao Jianguo heard this, he simply rejected his son.

However, Mengmeng, who was lowering her head to eat her rice, suddenly raised her head and shouted: "Dad, I'm going too."

"Do you have any homework?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Mengmeng was afraid that her mother would not let her go, so she quickly expressed her position: "Don't worry, Mom, I will do my homework after dinner. I won't go to bed until I finish my homework tonight."

Hearing Mengmeng's firm words, Cheng Xiaolin nodded with satisfaction: "Check it for me after you finish your homework. Don't fool me anymore, it will be embarrassing."

"Mom, the trust between us is gone." Mengmeng looked heartbroken.

The little guy knows a lot.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to respond to her. When had she ever trusted her?

That night, Mengmeng wrote until about ten o'clock before going to bed.

…

Saturday the 2nd.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, after Cao Shujie and the others had breakfast at home, they packed their things, loaded them into the car and set off.

This time I didn't take the expressway, but ran directly along the Yellow River dam to the northeast. It took only an hour and a half to reach Quancheng, which was half an hour faster than taking the expressway.

"This road is quite fast. There are no cars on the dam. Running is no slower than walking on the highway." Cheng Xiaolin said while looking out the car window.

Along the way, she found that this road was surprisingly easy to walk.

The road surface is also an asphalt road, no worse than a highway road, and beyond the boundaries of Pingyuan County, there are rose trees, green plants, and even sheds built with vines on both sides of the dam.

The scenery here is much better than the dry trees on the highway.

There are also small villas built in some places, which is really enjoyable.

After arriving in Quancheng, Cao Shujie drove directly towards the place where the auto show was held.

"Brother, is there any good car?" Cao Huifang asked from the middle row of seats.

Cao Shujie thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few. The spring auto show in Quancheng is quite big. I saw from the Internet that there are quite a few cars worth millions."

"My dear, a car worth several million." Cao Huifang's first reaction was that it was too expensive.

But then she realized that millions of dollars seemed to put no pressure on her brother and sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, Cao Huifang turned to her sister-in-law and asked: "Sister-in-law, I remember that you used to make original short videos on the platform. How much money can you make in a month now?"

"It's not much, I just make pocket money." Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile.

Cao Huifang didn't believe it, so she asked how much she could earn.

Cheng Xiaolin thought for a while, as if settling accounts: "If you add up the accounts on several platforms, you can get 7 figures in a year."

"(one_one)" Cao Huifang's eyes widened and she felt heartbroken.

"Sister-in-law, you have so much pocket money." She said with great envy.

After working hard for a month, she can only earn 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. After a year, including bonuses, it will only be 100,000 yuan. However, her sister-in-law’s pocket money is all in 7 figures, which means that the monthly income is at least 100,000 yuan!

Thinking of this, Cao Huifang asked smoothly: "Sister-in-law, how about you teach me how to make short videos?"

"No problem. Just resign and come back. Learn from me for two months and earn your monthly salary. It's no problem."

Cheng Xiaolin thought about it carefully and then said, "If you have a good understanding and follow me for a few months, you can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month."

"So exaggerated?" Cao Huifang didn't believe it.

Cheng Xiaolin said with a smile: "Why did I lie to you? Besides, I don't care about this little money."

"The main reason is that the market is getting bigger and bigger now." Cheng Xiaolin waved her cell phone in front of her sister-in-law and asked her: "Huifang, what do you think this is?"

"cell phone."

"Yes, have you noticed that more and more short video apps can be downloaded on your mobile phone? Besides, mobile phones are becoming more and more popular. What does this mean?" Cheng Xiaolin asked her.

Cao Huifang was not stupid. This question from her sister-in-law Cheng Xiaolin made her fall into deep thought, and she couldn't help but think too much.

After a while, she asked her sister-in-law what would be the next key development direction in this area?

"I dare not say, but I think now should be the golden age for the development of short videos. If it can be done well, it may not be impossible to make money in the future." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Huifang was very surprised. She understood that making money as her sister-in-law said was not just thousands or tens of thousands of dollars a month. Seven figures a year was considered pocket money for her.

"Sister-in-law, do you mean you can earn 8 figures a year in this business?" Cao Huifang asked her.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't even think about it, and said in a very firm tone: "It's definitely possible, it depends on what you do."

Cao Huifang was greatly touched by her sister-in-law's words.

She originally wanted to find a job in a company, learn something, and then continue her studies in this field. She would not rule out starting her own business in the future.

But today's chat with her sister-in-law made her realize that there is another vast world with a lot to do!

She didn't want to work in her brother's company and wanted to go out on her own.

After arriving in Shenzhen in July last year, a series of experiences during the period made her understand a very realistic truth.

She had gone south from school to work in the deep city with great ambition. She had too many ambitions and ideals, but in the face of reality, those things were just a bunch of rubbish.

Cheng Xiaolin watched the changes in the expression on her sister-in-law's face, guessed what she was thinking, and then said to her: "Fangfang, actually you can practice this technique by yourself when you are working in Shencheng."

"I'll send you some tools later. You can try it out on your own first. If you don't understand, just ask me via WeChat video." Under the love house, Cheng Xiaolin was really kind to her sister-in-law.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Cao Huifang didn't take it for granted.

Cao Shujie didn't pay attention to the content of his wife's chat with his sister.

He knows how big the short video market will be in the future. The problem is that he can just do well in the current industry and there is no need to open new pits.

More importantly, anyone who sells water can become the richest man. He is still far away, so he might as well catch one and work hard.

Unknowingly, I arrived at the car show. Before Cao Shujie's car drove past, the road in front was already blocked and the car was moving forward very slowly.

Cao Shujie was not in a hurry, and they walked forward slowly. It took about 20 minutes before they entered the car show parking lot.

After getting out of the car, before he could see the surroundings clearly, Cao Shujie heard someone ask him: "Brother, do you want to buy a car? You can have any car you want. The cars from our Hengda Auto Trade are definitely better than those from the same brand in the 4S store." Cars of the same model are cheaper.”

Cao Shujie turned around and looked back, and then he noticed a short young woman behind him, wearing a light-colored suit, holding a clamp in her hand, looking at Cao Shujie with a smile on her face.

Cao Shujie smiled: "We came here to play, thank you."

When the other party heard Cao Shujie's polite words, he turned around and left with a smile.

"Brother, don't you want to buy a car? You can ask her to introduce it to you." Cao Huifang was a little puzzled.

Cao Shujie shook his head: "I haven't decided what car to buy yet, how can I ask her to introduce it to me?"

"Besides, she works in an automobile trading company. She can't get the car I want to buy." Cao Shujie knows a little about automobile trading.

Knowing that when you buy a car from them, the price of the same model of car is indeed cheaper than that of a 4S store.

But this also depends on the opponent's strength.

The car Cao Shujie wants to buy is not cheap, and average auto trading companies can't even get the goods.

Arriving at the door, Cao Shujie and the others registered and entered the car show area. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a new white Maserati with a vertical sign next to it that said the guide price starts at 1.48 million.

There is also data about this car below. Cheng Xiaolin held Mengmeng's hand and took a closer look with her sister-in-law. She saw that it was powered by a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbocharged engine and matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. , the maximum power can reach 349 horsepower, and the top speed can reach 310 km/h.

"Honey, what do you think of this car?" Cao Shujie asked his wife.

Cheng Xiaolin nodded: "It's good, but it's not suitable for me."

Seeing the two of them chatting indifferently, not caring about the price of the car at all, Cao Huifang felt like she had been hit hard.

Buying a car worth more than 1 million yuan seems to be the same as spending 2,000 yuan to buy an electric car.

"Then go inside. I see there are many cars inside." Cao Shujie hugged his son and walked inside with his wife.

Cao Huifang and Mengmeng followed behind.

Among them were cars with average prices from Peugeot, Volkswagen, and Skoda, as well as cars with slightly higher prices from Mercedes-Benz and BMW. Although the car models were wearing very cool clothes, they did not make Cao Shujie feel bright.

For car models...

Don’t even look at it!

He came to buy a car.

"Mom, what do you think of that car?" Mengmeng suddenly pointed at a car and shouted loudly.

Not only did it attract Cao Shujie to look over, but it also attracted many passers-by to look over.

This is a dark red BMW i8, with a price guide of 2.108 million on the signboard next to it.

Cao Shujie has never seen such dark red car paint. It is similar to the color of his self-brewed deer blood wine, and the color is old.

"It doesn't look good. I don't like the color." Cheng Xiaolin shook her head.

There were many people nearby who were also looking at this car. They thought the price of this car was outrageous enough. Another person came here. She said she thought the color of the car's paint was not good-looking?

A few people turned to look at Cheng Xiaolin, seeing that what she was wearing was not ordinary, but not luxurious either. They were still wondering who this was.

Is it bragging? Or do you really have this strength?

They wanted to watch the fun, but in the end they didn't wait until Cheng Xiaolin asked about the price of the car. She had already gone to other places.

"Mom, I think it looks pretty." Mengmeng was puzzled.

But her preferences do not represent her mother's preferences. Cheng Xiaolin said: "I don't like it." (End of Chapter)
