Both of his parents were opinionated and not the kind to blindly obey.

Since they had already said they wouldn’t hand over management rights to Su Yehao for the time being, that was likely how things would remain.

In the past, Su’s father had been stubborn, leaving his son Su Yehao with no choice but to find ways to steer the old man onto the right path of developing real estate in the mainland.

However, it could only be said that no good deed goes unpunished, and the old man had ultimately made a mess of things.

Thinking about how he would at least lose tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars without even knowing why, Su Yehao's teeth itched.

He secretly pondered that next time his father asked him to help arrange a dinner with his mother, he would definitely refuse.

Rather than being double-teamed by the two of them, it would be easier for him, the son, if they lived their separate lives.

Ultimately.

The main problem was that Su Yehao had been too active recently, not only borrowing money to invest in various ways but also failing to show enough awareness of the potential dangers.

His parents were inevitably worried about entrusting such a large sum of money to him.

Su Yehao understood that his decisions were correct, but his parents didn’t have the ability to predict the future. In their eyes, a reckless son like him was bound to stumble sooner or later.

Just as Su Yehao had said, he wouldn’t be trusted when he needed money.

By the time he truly proved himself and achieved success, he probably wouldn’t care about the money his family gave him anyway.

In any case, he believed that with his own abilities, he could obtain everything he dreamed of, and his foundation was already much stronger than it had been half a year ago.

So, after a brief moment of confusion, Su Yehao quickly put the matter behind him. Taking advantage of Nangong Tian and Jiang Yu going out to eat and sing with the other dance club members, he ran to Mid-Levels to talk to Nong Qingying about the meaning of life.

Over at Sohu, the mainland internet portal, Nong Qingying had officially signed a financing agreement worth four million Hong Kong dollars. To this end, she had also specifically found an agent to register a company in the Cayman Islands, similar to KOKO, as a venture capital firm.

With so many opportunities in the future, Su Yehao's attention was currently focused on his own startup projects. With the idea that charity begins at home, he was considering arranging some potentially promising investment projects for the little girl and Yin Liuli.

Compared to gifts like jewelry and luxury cars, directly giving away some company shares that were currently "worthless" was obviously much more reliable.

…

The next morning.

Su Yehao waited at home for his guests to arrive. The jade dealer was late, with a jade statue of the God of Wealth, more than half a meter tall, in his car.

He had placed the order for this item several months ago, and it had taken more than two months to find suitable materials.

The sculptor was from the mainland and had worked overtime to complete the carving, which also took a long time.

The large piece of blue water jade was rare because not only was the water quality excellent, but there were also very few cracks. The dealer had made a special trip to Myanmar to find it, buying it from the mine owner before they could divide it up and make some worthless trinkets for it.

Jade wasn’t always better the bigger it was. For example, this statue of the God of Wealth was too large and opaque, making it look dull and gray.

However, when illuminated with a strong light, it could display a lake-like, ethereal blue color.

Originally, it was just for fun. To be honest, if the old dealer hadn’t occasionally called, Su Yehao would have almost forgotten that he had ordered this thing. Now, hearing the other party call out a price of 580,000, he readily wrote a check and paid the full amount.

The old dealer, who had made a profit of over 300,000 on this deal, loved rich people like Su Yehao who spent money without batting an eye and were too lazy to even haggle. He grinned from ear to ear, saying that he should look for him again if he needed anything.

Su Yehao was considering where to put the God of Wealth and casually said that he should find more good materials, and call him directly when he had something.

Now that he had bought a private jet worth more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, he no longer cared about small expenses.

Moreover, this kind of thing was a collectible, and its value would increase if he kept it, which was different from simply spending money.

When people had money, they always had some strange but expensive hobbies, such as his grandfather's antiques or other people's famous horses, classic cars, or collectible watches.

Su Yehao's hobby was simple and direct: he liked to collect whatever would increase in value the fastest in the future.

Earlier in Pengcheng, he said he would fill the house he bought in Nanshan with Moutai liquor. This was now really being implemented, and he had already sent someone from KOKO venture capital to the Moutai distillery to discuss the details of agency rights and bulk purchases.

In addition to purchasing, Su Yehao also didn’t forget to ask people to inquire whether there was an opportunity to invest as a small shareholder before Moutai went public.

Afraid that his words would not be taken seriously, he specifically instructed them to use the name Sihai International.

The wholesale price of Moutai liquor was 140 per bottle, and the market retail price was generally 200 yuan. If he wanted to hoard it in large quantities, the price could be lowered even further.

At this moment.

Su Yehao spent some time setting up the large jade statue of the God of Wealth and sent someone out to buy some high-quality sandalwood and a censer.

He used to think that sandalwood was expensive, but after smelling it while living in the Su family's mansion, he gradually became accustomed to the unique aroma.

Nangong Tian had the day off today. After sleeping in and coming downstairs, she saw the smiling God of Wealth holding a gold ingot and asked curiously, "Is that the one you had custom-made? It looks...so ordinary."

That was the truth.

Su Yehao touched his chin, looked left and right, and agreed, "It needs to be illuminated with light to be beautiful at night. I'll find some master craftsmen later to help me customize a cabinet with strong lighting. It's actually a good item, and the carving is also good, but the jade material is a bit unusual. It would be more imposing if it were made of pure gold."

"The God of Wealth in our house glows...forget it, it's fine as it is now. By the way, don't give me jade again next time. I feel like only my mom's age can wear it with style."

As soon as Nangong Tian finished speaking.

Su Yehao smiled and told her, "It wasn't meant for you to wear anyway. Keep it safe as a treasure. It would be a loss if it got bumped or scratched. I'll buy you other jewelry for everyday wear."

"Then let's go shopping today, but I have my own money. I don't need you to give it to me."

After a few words, the topic shifted to Zhao Yimeng's younger sister.

That girl, named Zhao Dingling, was planning to study at Hong Kong University to make it easier to go home and spend time with her family. She had exchanged numbers with the little girl last time, saying that she would visit Hong Kong University when it was convenient.

He thought it was just a polite remark, but Zhao Dingling had actually contacted Nangong Tian. Her personality was indeed different from her sister's, being very outgoing.

Since it was just a campus tour, Su Yehao smiled and said, "Then take some time to show her around. You're familiar with it anyway."

Nangong Tian took the opportunity to ask, "Aren't you afraid that I'll get to know her and we'll talk about your dream lover? I haven't asked you about the marriage with Zhao Yimeng. Do you look down on my family for being poor and not a good match for you?"

It was rare to see her so direct, bringing up a sensitive topic.

Knowing that it would be difficult to deal with, Su Yehao decisively said to her, "That's not the case at all. You know I don't care about money. Even if I could trade the entire Donghuang Group for you, I would refuse without hesitation."

Jiang Yu, who happened to be passing by, was dumbfounded by this.

Why was she being force-fed dog food so early in the morning? It was really annoying.
