Chapter 34: Dowry

After getting the wedding photo, the wedding day is near. Although the Qi family did not want to interact with the Xue family, the wedding was imminent, and they still had to get together on that day to discuss the business.
This "fair business" is actually a discussion of how the two parties gave gifts to the newlyweds. To put it bluntly, it is a gift and dowry. This name is actually not suitable for same-sex couples, and at this time the custom of dowry for bridesmaid is gradually disappearing, but the marriage of family children is not indispensable, so the same name is also used.
The number of wedding gifts and dowries given by the family tycoons are often very alarming. At the same time, the ancient gifts will also be used to retain documents and transfer contracts, etc., as evidence. Marriage and dowry now do not need to cross the ten-mile long street as in ancient times, but human comparison and vanity are unchanged, so there will be unwritten rules of publicly offering gifts and dowry at the wedding . The number of celebrities on the one hand shows the financial strength of the two married people, on the one hand, it also allows people to see how important the new couple is in their respective families. Although some families don’t like this kind of form, but when the gun shoots the bird, you don’t do what everyone else does, it’s easy to make people feel that you are not in a group, even if you can’t do anything on the surface, the rumours in the background are It's enough to be boring. Therefore, one more thing is worse than one less, that is, to make a list at the wedding, most of the family simply follow the trend. And there are indeed quite a few who do this with vanity, such as Xue Li, who is delighted with the thighs of the Qi family.
He looked at the offer list given by Qi's family, almost happily shut his mouth, and wanted to go out and tell the world now.
The Qi family has a lot of real money, and it gave eight nines in cash alone, which is actually 100 million, but only one piece was reduced for the sake of morals. There are also three shops, located in the most prosperous business districts in Beijing, and it is not a small shop with dozens of hundreds of square meters, but a large-scale shop with more than two hundred square meters. The market price adds up to two. With 300 million, the annual rent can be collected by tens of millions. Even knowing that because Qi's home is for real estate, the cost price must be much lower than the market price, Xue Li couldn't help but sigh for Qi's generosity.
However, this is not the main event. The thing that makes Xue Li most eye-catching in the ceremony is another thing-Qi's 5% share dividend.
There are many industries in Qi's industry, but they are separated on the bright side. The main ones are Shi'an Real Estate and Huaan Energy. In addition, there are some other network companies and food companies. Except for Shi An Real Estate which is publicly listed, the others are wholly owned by Qijia Private. The 5% given to Qi Zi by Qi's family is all the companies controlled by Qi's privately-owned company, plus the part held by Qi's in Shi'an Real Estate, the combined 5%. It seems that only 5% seems to be very small, and can only take dividends and can not participate in decision-making or arbitrarily transfer, but with the huge industry of Qi family as the base, this 5% is enough to match the profit of the entire Xue family.
Xue Li couldn't wait to go through the transfer procedures immediately. It was better to sign him than Shu Zimu. However, the restraint on the face is still necessary. After reading the list of gifts, Xue Li smiled with a breeze and pretended to be polite: "This is really too kind to kiss your family. Where can Zi Mu want such things in your family."
The Qi family still came out with Bai Xinlan. She smiled and said, "Marriage is a big event. It is estimated that this will be the only time in Ayan's life. These things are not many. The Qi family's daughter-in-law is given according to this. . Besides, I also like Zi Mu's child. In addition to these, I and his dad will add more in private." Bai Xinlan looked at Qi Yan as a junior sitting with Shu Zimu and listened, intentionally saying: "Ayan should have something else to give to Zi Mu. I think he secretly prepared a gift before."
"..." Qi Yan, who was inexplicably exposed to Chiyu, looked helplessly at his teasing mother and turned his attention to Shu Zimu. When he saw the other party looking a little surprised and curious, he felt a little embarrassed. This time, he quickly looked away and pretended that nothing had happened.
Qi Yan couldn't help but chuckled in his heart, and said that who let him find it bad, but let his mother discover it, this time certainly won't achieve the effect he wanted before. Fortunately, Bai Xinlan is only a half-knowledge, and it is not entirely clear what the gift is, but how much Shu Zimu can still be a little surprised by then? Qi Yan thought so, but decided to find another gift.
Since it is a pursuit of people, there are always too many gifts?
Qi Yan did not intend to say that other people did not want to go after it, and the topic quickly turned to the next one.
The gifts that Bai Xinlan and Qi Yan each want to add are obviously not intended to be put on the list of gifts, and they seem to be given in private. With the generosity of the Qi family, those who don't know how valuable it will be. There was no way to immediately see what happened, Xue Li was regretful and heartbroken. But when I think about it, Shu Zimu's biological father should come to see and even use it. It is reasonable for him to use it. If he gave Shu Zimu, wouldn't it be the Xue family?
Thinking about it this way, the smile on Xue Li's face was even more ardent. At the same time, he thought of the dowry he had originally discussed with Yao Yue to prepare for Shu Zimu. Although the Xue family and the Qi family are incomparable, they have to be passable in the face, otherwise they seem to neglect the Qi family. So Xue Li said with a smile: "We have already prepared Zi Mu's dowry, so we took a list to show my relatives." While giving Yao Yue a look, he made a gesture without trace.
Years of husband and wife, Yao Yue immediately understood what he meant, this is to add more to Shu Zimu's dowry. Yao Yue couldn't help but scolded her heart, but on the surface she got up smiling and went upstairs to get the list.
As soon as the Qi family's wedding gift came out, Yao Yue was happy and jealous. Happy because she and Xue Li felt that the offer was for Shu Zimu, but they must have belonged to the Xue family. Jealousy was because the wild species Shu Zimu actually got a different look from the Qi family, which can be seen from the offer. Pay attention, not to mention Bai Xinlan and Qi Yan's initiative.
While Yao Yue insulted Shu Zimu for luck, she felt that if she did not take Shu Zimu to that banquet, Shu Zimu could not be picked by the Qi's family, so they should get these gifts from the Xue family. The dowry set by Shu Zimu has already made Yao Yue feel distressed, and now Xue Li actually wants her to add to her face!
Yao Yue turned over the dowry list dumbly. After a moment of contemplation, she finally added a few pens unpredictably.
In the end, Bai Xinlan saw that the number of dowries seemed to be similar to that offered by the Qi family, but the quality had all dropped by one layer. One digit less cash, three houses, and Xue's dividends.
Not to mention cash, housing prices are not as good as shops. The three sets of locations given by the Xue family are also not very good. Although the area is large, the value is actually much lower than that given by the Qi family. Needless to say, Xue's share dividends are totally different from Qi's. Moreover, the Qi family gave 5%, but the Xue family only gave 3%.
However, the Xue family is far worse than the Qi family. It is not as good as the Qi family's wealth. It is normal that at least this dowry list is justified.
The Qi family itself does not expect anything from the Xue family. Shu Zimu also told Qi Yan before that he didn’t really want Qi’s wedding gift or Xue family’s dowry. It’s just that the family’s marriage process was not his final decision. Therefore, Bai Xinlan did not show dissatisfaction at this time, so after checking with Aunt Zhang, she and Xue Li agreed on the time for registration and property transfer.
These things will belong to Shu Zimu on the bright side, but after knowing that Qi Jiaran gave back 5% of the shares, he guessed that Xue Li and Yao Yue could not hold back the idea of ​​not playing such a large asset of.
Sure enough, Bai Xinlan and Qi Yan walked away that day, and it was not long before Shu Zimu was called to the study by Xue Li, and Yao Yue was also there. Both of them had an unprecedented kindness. Looking at Shu Zimu's eyes was like watching immediately Just jump into the gold ingot in your pocket.
Xue Li first gave Shu Zimu some false words, and expressed his dissatisfaction with his son who was about to get married and lived out. Then he saw the poor figure: "Zi Mu, you are only 18 years old, take With so many wedding gifts and dowry, my dad feels not at ease. Do you know how to manage money?"
Shu Zimu sneered in his heart, but made an unprepared look, pretending to say naively: "Yes. Shops and houses are not just rented out, I can only pay dividends without doing anything, and then buy it in cash. Two suites, anyway, the houses in Beijing are not afraid of losses."
Xue Liwen immediately gave him a reproachful look, "How can this be done! Dividends are a lot of money every year. How can I buy a house all the time, or I have to make other investments, otherwise it will be wasted."
Yao Yue also agreed with a smile and said: "Zi Mu is still a child after all, and he doesn't understand this. It would be nice to think of buying a house." Then he turned around and said, "Besides, he didn't understand that there is still your father." You must help him, Zi Mu will not manage the funds."
Xue Li pretended to be reminded by Yao Yue at this time and deliberately thought for a while and then said: "Well, yes, anyway, I am also a father, I really have to control it." He said to Shu Zimu: "Zi Mu, you will not Financial management, how about your dad looking for a professional financial consultant to help you? Such a large asset can't be sloppy. Are you trying to learn screenwriting? Not interested in these financial estimates, then dad will do it for you , The money you make is yours, okay?"
After listening to Xue Li and Yao Yue's singing together, they wanted to take away this large sum of money. Shu Zimu continued to pretend to be unaware, saying: "No more trouble, Qi Yan has promised to help me manage those dividends, the rent will be With flowers, there is no need to find any financial adviser."
Xue Li and Yao Yue sank at once when they heard these words. The two listened to Shu Zimu's trust and thanked Qi Yan for her tone. No wonder Qijia is so generous. 5% of the shares are given and given. It turned out to be such an idea. Shu Zimu is also really stupid. He does not believe that his blood-related family members take care of such a large asset for others. This takes care of it. Doesn't everything go into other people's pockets? However, Shu Zimu still took the advantage of himself, as if he was asking Qi Yan for help, Xue Li almost wanted to yell out loudly, but thought of the huge dividend, he still gasped for two moments and anger temporarily Pressed down.
Yao Yue's face was also extremely ugly, and she couldn't help but shuddered and asked Shu Zimu: "Zi Mu, if you can't manage, how come you don't know how to come to your dad? They are all under the control of Qi Shao, don't you have no money for private room? How does this work! Aunty told you that after marriage, it is up to you to keep your own money, otherwise the other party will take your money to raise the three, four, then you are really crying. The money is really going to be handed over to people to manage their finances, or their family members are more reliable."
Shu Zimu almost shivered when she heard the term "family member", and she got goose bumps. Qi's family has never regarded him as the wife of an ancient married husband. When calling him, he always called his name, and it was rarely used as a feminine title. The Xue family, on the other hand, looked at him like a girl who could only listen to the words of her parents' matchmaker.
Also, after all, the purpose is to marry someone, and it is not surprising that the Xue family thinks so.
However, Shu Zimu was naturally unwilling to listen, and he was not prepared to endure. He heard the words and said, "Aunt Yao, do you mean that Qi Yan will be derailed when I take my money?" He twitched his lips, "You can say this before you get married. Sure enough, you're not born or you don't expect anything good. I have to tell Qi Yan to hear this."
Yao Yue suddenly stiffened and said with a smile: "Look what you said, I was just a wake-up call as an elder. Where can I say that Qi Shao will be derailed, Zi Mu, can't you just go out and sue your aunt. Qi Shao has always cleansed himself, But our family is separated from the Qi family by several layers. When you arrive at the Qi family, you still have to hold your own money to be a little more confident. The aunt just wants to persuade you, although Qi Shao is not a person who will do such disgusting things. But it’s better not to let Qi Shao take care of the money, otherwise you will have no confidence in the fight between the young couple."
Shu Zimu sneered and was about to speak, but Xue Li said to Yao Yue first: "Okay, remind me, remind Qi Shao what to do? Shao nonsense in the future." Turning his head again to appease Shu Zimu , "Zi Mu, you and Qi Shao get along well, don't listen to your aunt Yao's words that are not on the edge, don't just doubt that Qi Shao should be derailed." Then he paused, glanced at Yao Yue, and continued to speak loudly Angrily said to Shu Zimu: "Even if Qi Shaozhen... really has something outside, don't rush to yell and scold. Qi Shao is in charge of Qi's industries, it is inevitable that there are various entertainments that need to be performed in a show, you want to The real Mrs. Qi, who is married with Qi Shaozhen for the marriage certificate, can’t keep up with the outsiders. That’s enough. Don’t worry about it because of a trivial matter, you will lose Qi Shao’s heart.

Xue Li’s words were more clear-cut than Yao Yue’s, and he almost asked him to take his husband’s room as an ancient concubine. Shu Zimu almost laughed and looked at Xue Liyu’s focus, but he said Yao Yue looked like he was going to jam her husband's money bag. Maybe Xue Li actually had a long red flag at home and did not pour the flag outside?
With this conjecture, Shu Zimu was in a much better mood. Maybe the Xue family would soon be wicked by the wicked. He didn't bother to say anything to refute Xue Li and asked impatiently: "Is there anything else? It's okay I'm back to the room."
Of course something! Today's goal has not been achieved yet! Xue Li wanted to teach him a few words, but looking at the 18-year-old Shu Zimu who was still in rebellion, thinking of the 5% of the shares, he had to be patient and softly say: "Zi Mu, you really decided to put those shares Let Qi Shao take care of it?" Seeing Shu Zimu looking at him impatiently, Xue Li quickly added: "Although what is derailed is nonsense, but your Aunt Yao is right, the money still has to be squeezed and paid. It’s better to give to your family than to your husband’s family. It’s not trouble for Dad to find a financial adviser for you. We are fathers and sons. It’s the most assured that Dad will help you, right?

Shu Zimu was too lazy to pay attention to Xue Li's eloquent remarks, and deliberately pushed back: "Qi Yan helped me take care of me, and he said he would help me also invest in that resort project, so don't worry."
In fact, this was what Shu Zimu and Qi Yan had discussed before. Shu Zimu was very clear about the Xue family's profitability, knowing that they would hit those shares, so after telling Qi Yan, the two thought of such an excuse. In addition to letting Xue Li's plan to defraud of shares fall through, he can also push Xue Li's thoughts further and let him go deeper into the trap of the resort project.
Sure enough, Xue Yan's face changed when she heard that Qi Yan was going to invest in that resort project for Shu Zimu. He has carefully investigated this project these days. After a round of analysis, most of what Qi Yan said is true. This project is indeed promising and worth investing in. Moreover, it can also be backed by the big tree of Shi An. After investing, it can simply lie down and wait for money to make money.
For this reason, Xue Li was thinking about how to rely on Shu Zimu to split the 50% of Qi Yan's hands and grind it down. Now I heard that Shu Zimu also wants to take a part of the shares, and suddenly his face is not good-looking.
"Qi Shao said he would also invest in that resort project for you?"
"Yeah," Shu Zimu seemed absent-minded and said casually, "I said to give me another 20% share."
20%! Xue Li's eyes suddenly widened, and he almost glared out his eyes. Qi Yan said that he would give him 20% points, and he would have to pay an apology for his elders to make a down payment. Shu Zimu would have been good, and he got as much as he did!
Although compared to the entire 5% of Qi's shares, the 20% of Guangguang Resort is nothing, but Shu Zimu, the 5% of the shares, cannot transfer or even take out mortgages, but can only pay dividends. But the shares have not yet reached Shu Zimu's hands, and the dividends will not be available for a while. Qi Yan thought that he had paid Shu Zimu a year's dividends in advance, and then invested him in a project with a very high return rate. Compared with Xue Li's thoughts after getting money from Shu Zimu, Qi Yan was really thinking about Shu Zimu.
Xue Li couldn't help but secretly cursed that his eldest son was destined, but also had some confusion, not knowing what excuses he should use to ask Shu Zimu for those shares. After all, this investment, he really can't tell what's wrong, because he also intends to invest heavily.
Xue Li had no words to say, Yao Yue was not just a stepmother, and she was not forced to force it. After all, Shu Zimu saw that she was completely riding the Dongfeng of Qi's family. Even Xue Lin was educated and safe at this time. The last two Shu Zimu can only let go.
However, Xue Like did not give up in this way. As Qi Yan and Shu Zimu planned when they discussed it, learning that Shu Zimu also had a 20% stake in the resort project, Xue Li turned to another idea.
As for the possible means of Xue Li, Shu Zimu and Qi Yan have been prepared, but they are not always in the face of the enemy, and act in the same way as usual. It is because the wedding is getting closer and closer, and the two will be a little busy from time to time. Shu Zimu occasionally bubbles in the Qi family, but slowly chats with the Qi family a lot. Especially Qi Yun, because Yan Yan is so powerful, she has always missed Shu Zimu. She mentioned that she had to go to the main house of Qi's family several times, but unfortunately it has never been realized.
However, on this day, Shu Zimu received the admission notice and was successfully admitted to the drama, film and television literature major of the Communication University. After learning that Qi's family said that they should celebrate, Shu Zimu resigned, but finally came to the Qi's main house for the second time.
After eating a meal, receiving another wave of gifts, and being held by Qi Jun holding a newly-raised black and white beauty short, Shu Zimu was also requisitioned in the afternoon and took Qi together with Qi Yan Jun and Qi Yao went to the amusement park.
Because Shu Zimu was not familiar with the city of Beijing, Qi Yan was not a person who was familiar with the various facilities and arrangements of the amusement park, so he called Xu Chi again and the three people "looked at the children" together. The amusement parks Qi Jun and Qi Yao certainly did not go there, but because the adults at home are busy, there are really few opportunities to come. It was the first time that Qi Yan was brought to the amusement park.
So a half-year-old boy and a cute little girl with a novel feeling, began today's amusement park tour. And also keen to let Qi Yan play with them.
"Brother! How about we go play with that?" Qi Yao pointed to the towering jumping machine with bright eyes and said excitedly.
Qi Yan sternly refused: "No."
Qi Yao immediately whispered, "Brother, aren't you afraid?" He raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "Brother Zi Mu is still here, how can you be so counseling."
Qi Yan was not afraid, but felt that the entertainment was meaningless. He frowned when he heard Qi Yao’s words. He said that his brother had become more courageous recently. He owed a lesson and didn’t know who gave him the courage. Qi Yan thought of it and glanced at Shu Zimu without a trace, but when he spit out again, he changed: "Go, go."
"..." Qi Yao froze for a moment, couldn't help but look at Shu Zimu who was unaware of it, and thought: Brother Zi Mu was so powerful that he could actually make people like me recognize and counsel.
That's right, Qi Yao felt that Qi Yan had agreed instead of admitting to counsel, because his brother would not have changed his mind easily because he took care of anyone. This is completely groundbreaking!
It seems that the so-called Feng Shui metaphysics is not necessarily unreliable. Look at this, his brother is really blooming.
