Chapter nine hundred and sixty-eight
As the father-in-law Zhou Kui, a very stingy guy, even though he made a fortune with Zhu Cixuan, his life was still quite low-key.
Three meals a day, at least one egg, a plate of pickles, a plate of peanuts and beans. In addition, a bowl of porridge and a boiled egg, the fried dough sticks are a good thing, and Zhou Kui feels that he is extravagant.
"Oh, Liufu, Liufu. It's so extravagant, it's really extravagant. This fried dough stick can be used to pay for my breakfast."
The servant Liufu is no longer surprised by this, and even Liufu has been infected. He followed suit and saved money.
"Master, now we have made a lot of money with Master Long Live. It is time to enjoy you. Look, from time to time, there is a wealthy family, as poor as Master, and as poor as Master, and I dare not say anything else. Just like Master, your simple and boring life, you will definitely be remembered forever in the future."
Liufu's flattery became louder and louder, and Zhou Kui couldn't help but feel floating.
Yes, wealth and power from ancient times to the present. Who is as hard and simple as Zhou Kui? Even if he is rich, he is still simple.
It seems that this is a role model worth learning from. Zhou Kui, the father-in-law who is rich enough to rival a country, seems to be a role model in the world.
In fact, those who know Zhou Kui are very clear. Zhou Kui’s actions have nothing to do with hardships and simplicity. The reason why he did this was entirely because of stinginess.
Zhou Kui is a famous miser, who is a person who dies and doesn't spend money. More importantly, if he doesn't bring this money in life and death, he still does his own way.
I believe many people have heard of a story. There is a guy named Yan Jiansheng in Wu Jingzi's "The Scholars".
Yan Jiansheng is a student of Gaoyao County, Guangdong Province. His original name is Yan Dayu, whose courtesy name is Zhihe, and his younger brother of Yan Gongsheng, is a complex and three-dimensional character.
Yan Jiansheng stretched out his two fingers but refused to quit his anger. His eldest nephew, second nephew, nurse and others all came forward to guess and persuade him, but they didn't make any sense. Finally, Zhao walked up and said, "Master, what others said is nothing, only I know what you mean! You are lit two stems of lamp grass for the lamp. If you are not relieved, you may have to spend any oil. I will pick one stem now." It was not until Zhao picked one stem that he nodded and swallowed.
This father-in-law Zhou Kui is the same as this Yan Jiansheng. This guy is also the kind of person who has to pick one of two lanterns in the wick.
Not to mention, this guy really did it.
The cool breeze was blowing, and Zhou Kui sat in the room and closed his eyes to rest. Don’t think he was really idle. He closed his eyes and was calculating the profits of the batch of goods sold in Xishan today.
Over the years, Zhu Cilang made a lot of money. Just the money in the account was about 5 million taels.
Although most of this money is entrusted in Xishan as shares. Every time Zhou Kui asks to share the spoils, Zhu Cilang will come without hesitation.
OK, Master, if you want to raise the shares of Xishan, it is absolutely fine. Otherwise, I will take out all the dividends of 5 million taels. If you deposit them into the money house, you will feel at ease.
Zhou Kui was so grateful that he was so happy that he was a good grandson and a prince. Such a filial grandson had nowhere to look for with a lantern. Whenever he did this, Zhou Kui was always moved to tears.
However, Zhu Cixuan quickly changed the subject: "I recently inspected another big project. If my grandfather wants to invest, he will definitely get a lot of money in the future."
Whenever this happened, Zhou Kui's eyes lit up: "What a good project, don't forget the old minister. I, Zhou Kui, have won the five million."
Zhou Kui did make a lot of money from Xishan Glass Factory, but he didn't have much money in his hands.
Whenever Zhou Kui wanted to propose dividends, Zhu Cixuan always agreed immediately. Then, he proposed a project to make a lot of money. So Zhou Kui immediately threw the money in.
It seems that Zhou Kui has become more and more wealth, but he has invested all of them in the real world.
This is Zhu Cilang's strategy, what is the sharing of spoils? Grandpa, your money is mine, and my money is still mine.
To put it bluntly, Zhou Kui's value is just a number on the books. The ones that are actually distributed to him are actually not much money. Most of them are in Xishan's shares.
This is similar to painting cakes to satisfy hunger, but not entirely painting cakes to satisfy hunger. It can be said that it is a kind of investment in wealth.
However, Zhu Cilang never thought that he would really share dividends with his grandfather from beginning to end. Sooner or later, he would swallow all Zhou Kui's shares.
Of course, this is very sinister and there is no way. According to the charge, Zhou Kui, the stingy father-in-law, should have moved his head long ago. However, after all, blood is thicker than water. Zhu Cixuan did not attack this once corrupt and stingy grandfather, but led him to the right path, which was worthy of him.
Zhou Kui really wanted to share the dividend of five million taels, how could Zhu Cilang give it to him easily?
Of course, Zhou Kui also realized something was wrong after a long time. Why did Xishan make a lot of money but not many of them in his hands?
It is still placed in the money shop insurance, although the investment plans proposed by Zhu Cilang are quite attractive.
However, this time Zhou Kui decided to take out two million taels from Xishan and deposit it into the money shop. No matter how big the grandson proposed, he would not do it.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Zhou Kui, who was closing his eyes to settle the score, suddenly bounced off the chair: "Liufu, Liufu, hurry up, help me to receive the order."
A short sentence of the imperial edict: Tomorrow, let Zhou Kui go to Xishan Glass Factory. Zhu Cilang will meet him in person.
It was a long time since I saw this good grandson. Zhou Kui, who received the imperial edict, immediately smiled happily. He must have given two copper coins to the eunuch who passed the imperial edict: "I have worked hard for you from afar, so I will spend this money."
The eunuch passed the order to look at the two copper plates in his hand and immediately stood there and said no to the point. Isn't this obviously humiliating?
If it were another minister, he would have offended this eunuch. Even a high-powered official would not dare to offend an eunuch easily.
The problem is that Zhou Kui has different identities. He is the wife of Emperor Chongzhen and the biological father of Empress Zhou. He is also Zhu Cixuan's biological grandfather. With this identity, who can move him?
The eunuch didn't dare to offend him, so he had to hold the two copper plates in his hand for no reason and bowed to Zhou Kui: "Thank you, my father-in-law, let's say goodbye."
The price of two copper plates was only to buy a steamed bun. Just then, looking at the back of the eunuch who was so arrogant that he led the imperial eunuch back to the palace, Zhou Kui still felt distressed and his muscles jumped: "Oh, I'm afraid I've given too much. If I had known, I would have given a copper plate."
Liu Fu, who had been assimilated, hurriedly said, "There are too many copper coins. In the eyes of villains, no copper coins should be given."
