Chapter 2725 Chapter 2727 [It’s hard to persuade a damned person with good words]
In the second half of 2008, Liu Shouhua was dismissed from his post as Swedish Ambassador by the new party government, and he simply stayed in Sweden and never returned to his country.
?On the one hand, there is no war trouble here, and he does not have to worry about the safety of his family; on the other hand, the administration here is relatively clear, and the economy is more developed. With his ability, he can also make a fortune in business.
Otherwise, now that the new government has been established, even if he chooses to go back, he will never be reused again. On the contrary, the family may be plunged into the disaster of war. In comparison, it would be better to stay in Sweden.
Xiang Nan also supported his decision.
?It’s just that after Liu Shouhua was dismissed, it would not be so convenient and quick for them to obtain news about China in the future.
Because the Swedish news media focuses on reporting in Europe, North America and other places, the Middle East and the Far East are not its key targets, so you can only see a little news occasionally.
?This is a bit like Chinese news. Reports about foreign countries are also concentrated in the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, Russia, France, Germany, Australia and other countries.
As for Africa, South America, Central Asia and Pacific Island countries, it is estimated that only major events such as disasters, wars, and plagues will be reported.
Hence, for a period of time afterwards, the Jin family basically cut off all contact with China.
They only know that in December, Northeast China changed its flag and China achieved nominal reunification.
??It’s just that the Guangxi warlords and the Guangdong warlords fought a war a few years ago, and the Xinzheng government did not effectively stop it. It can be seen that the Xinzheng Mansion is only unified in name. In fact, each force still goes its own way and is its own master.
The future of China is therefore unclear.
…
Xiang Nan doesn’t care much about Zhengzhi. In his opinion, making money is more important.
After all, the Great Depression sweeping the world is coming in less than a year. He must accumulate enough wealth to maximize benefits after the Great Depression.
In the second half of 2008, after the serialization of "The Hobbit: A Wonderful Journey" was completed, Xiang Nan immediately started the serialization of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".
At this time, because of the popularity of "The Hobbit", when he serialized "The Lord of the Rings", his remuneration was also greatly increased.
Previously it was fifty kronor for a thousand words, but now it is three hundred kronor for a thousand words, which has increased six times. In this way, if he writes one thousand words, he can earn one hundred and fifty yuan, which is about the same as five small yellow croakers. It is definitely considered a high income.
?However, Xiang Nan made more money from the stock market than from writing novels.
Under his operation, his capital has accumulated from one million to forty million. Such a huge sum of money also prepared him for the coming Great Depression.
…
At the beginning of 2029, "The Hobbit" was officially published in one volume by Snow Bear Bookstore, a well-known Swedish publishing house. After its launch, it became very popular and even had good sales in Nordic countries such as Norway, Finland, and Denmark.
This also brought Xiang Nan another ultra-high return of 150,000 yuan, which can be said to be a windfall.
?Seeing that their son is so promising, even if he comes to Sweden, he can still make money by his own skills to support the family, instead of having to live in vain, the Jin Quan couple are naturally happy.
For Xiang Nan, there was another happy event. In early 29, Xiao Lian was finally pregnant.
For Xiang Nan, this was an unexpected surprise.
?Xiao Lian was also very happy. She didn''t expect happiness to come so suddenly.
Only Bai Xiuzhu is more delicious. Because she has been married to Xiang Nan for six years, and her stomach has not moved yet.
On the contrary, Xiao Lian was pregnant first, which really made her angry.
Fortunately, her character was just unruly, not vicious, and she did not perform the drama of "poisoning by the mistress, leaving the mother but the son", which made Xiang Nan feel a little relieved.???…
Pregnancy lasts ten months, and delivery occurs once.
In mid-October, Xiao Lian successfully gave birth to a son.
In this way, the third generation of the Jin family finally has a leader.
?This made Jin Quan so happy that he personally named his child Jin Chengcheng, hoping that he could inherit the Jin family''s incense and continue to prosper for generations.
?Jin Chengcheng''s birth was a rare happy event for the Jin family. For this reason, Jin Quan specially held a banquet at home and invited relatives and friends to congratulate him.
In the one and a half years since they came to Sweden, the Jin family has made some friends there and established some connections. They are no longer strangers as they were at the beginning.
?So the banquet was held very big, and many friends came to congratulate me.
Xiang Nan rarely reunited with his family. Because after everyone moved out, apart from going home to get together during holidays, it was difficult to see each other at other times.
At the banquet, Wang Yufen proudly introduced to Bai Xiuzhu how much money she had made from stock trading this year.
"The stock market is really booming now. Whatever you buy will go up. I bought two stocks a year ago, and now they have almost doubled." She introduced it to Bai Xiuzhu with a smile, and Bai Xiuzhu was very excited. .
“Third sister-in-law, although the stock market is rising rapidly, the hidden dangers are still considerable. The stock price is a bit too high. It is better to withdraw first.” Xiang Nan reminded.
The stock market crash was coming soon, and he didn’t want Wang Yufen to suffer.
“Yes, Yufen, stocks are not so easy to play. It’s better to learn from me and save your money in the bank.” Wu Peifang also advised.
"How much interest can I earn by depositing in the bank? I have already earned 50,000 yuan this year." Wang Yufen curled her lips disdainfully.
When Wu Peifang heard this, she was very surprised, "Is it really that profitable?"
“So I said you wouldn’t pick it up even if you have money.” Wang Yufen said with a smile.
“Yufen, are stocks really that profitable?” Cheng Huichang said excitedly when he heard this.
She also hopes to make more money, after all, their family is the poorest among the three brothers.
“Really, why are you lying to me?” Wang Yufen said with a smile.
"Three sisters-in-law, listen to me. The risk of stocks is too great. Don''t underestimate it. If it falls sharply, all your wealth may be lost." Seeing that they were all interested in stock trading, Xiang Nan quickly stopped and said, "Listen to me. Definitely don’t speculate.”
But the interests of the three of them came first, but no one was willing to listen to him.
“Lao Qi, unlike you, we can still make money by writing novels. We have to find a way to make a living.” Cheng Huichang explained.
“Lao Qi, you can make money, so you don’t have to worry. We are almost dying of worry.” Wu Peifang also sighed. Their family is losing money every month. If they don’t find some way to make money, they may be begging for food in a few years.
"Yes, don''t worry, Qing Qingqing. You can exchange for several small yellow croakers by writing one word. What should we do?" Wang Yufen also curled her lips and said, "We can''t just watch you eat meat. We can''t even drink soup." Can’t drink it.”
When Xiang Nan saw what they said, he simply stopped trying to persuade them.
For them, it is a good thing to stumble. Otherwise, they will never grow up.
?However, he himself was secretly preparing to sell the stocks he held one after another and cash out in advance. Be prepared to wait for the stock market crash and then short-sell aggressively to make a profit.
