Chapter 1147: The Gold Mine's Ownership

on” Sima Zhongtian said, “Our Sima family has never been afraid of threats from the Xiao family! Our ‘Territory Blood Tree’ has long been protected by people found by the family. Even flies can't get...This is Xiao Zheng's first time visiting the Xiao family in Huajing. 。This Siheyuan mansion by the Shichahai lake and the Grand Canal undoubtedly reveals the wealth of the Xiao family in Beijing. 。However, Xiao Zheng didn't find it strange either, after all, he had also heard his parents talk about the affairs of the Huajing Xiao family. Besides, Xiao Zheng had also been to the Hangcheng Xiao family with Xiao Jingyu, which was also vast in area, with numerous houses and scenery everywhere. 。This Xiao family mansion in Huajing is more magnificent than the Xiao family house in Hangzhou. 。But Xiao Zheng felt that none of this had anything to do with him. 。He and Xiao Jingyu were just sending their grandparents back home. 。Therefore, his mood was also carefree, and his gaze fell more on his wife and children. 。I saw that the people from the Xiao family in Huajing came out to greet them. Among them, the head of the family, Xiao Fufu, said loudly, “Father, you’re back! And welcome Rongrong and Qingmei home!” 。"Everyone else, welcome, welcome! Time isn't early anymore, Father, let's just have dinner right away" Xiao Yi said: "Good!"

A group of people walked into the dining room in the inner room. A large round table was set up in the dining room. 。The red wood floor, Ming and Qing porcelain, and gleaming cups and saucers all display a sense of luxury. 。Xiao Zheng is currently a leader in the municipal Party committee. The canteen and hotel for staff quarters have decent conditions, but overall they remain practical and simple. 。While the Hua Jing Xiao family's overall impression to Xiao Zheng was rather luxurious. 。Perhaps this is just how big families are, otherwise how would they stand out It's just that Xiao Zheng came from a poor background and isn't used to this kind of wealth and luxury. 。The head of the household, Xiao Fufu, sat down first, and then gestured for his father, Xiao Yi, and Ye Chuan Ying to sit down together. The rest followed suit. 。Xiao Xuan and his third wife, Zhang Chenbi, Xiao Guigui's daughter Xiao Tao, and others were seated below Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu. Their gazes lingered briefly on Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu, and the children but showed no particular warmth or interest in getting to know them, almost indifferent. 。Both Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu didn't mind. 。They knew it was just a dinner. After dinner, the three of them could return to the hotel and reunite with their own little families. 。Xiao Fu Fu said a few welcoming words, and then dinner began. 。Subsequently, Xiao Yi stood up and looked around the table: "Today, I asked FuFu to gather everyone here mainly for three reasons: firstly, I have been living at Jiangnan Rongrong's place for some time. Today, I'm back and it's been a long time. I also wanted to see you all again." 。And the second thing I want to announce is that during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, I met my old friend Ms. Ye Chuan Ying. In fact, decades ago, we already had feelings for each other, but unfortunately, fate was unkind and we missed each other. When we were young, fate didn't give us a chance to be together. 。But, it's not too late to reunite now. 。So, the two of us are planning to be together. 。Saying that, Xiao Yi extended his hand toward Ye Chuan Ying. 。Ye Chuanying smiled, placed her right hand in Xiao Yi's left hand, and also stood up, nodding to everyone. 。Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu smiled at each other, their hands clasped tightly together. 。Xiao Zheng still admires his grandfather, Xiao Yi, quite a bit. He is bold and decisive, and when it comes to pursuing his own happiness, he is unambiguous. 。But at this dinner table, besides Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei, no one truly wished well for Xiao Yi and Ye Chuan Ying. 。Although no one explicitly spoke up in opposition, their expressions betrayed their true feelings. The reason they didn't object was likely due to Xiao Yi's authority. 。At this time, Xiao Jingyu first clapped his hands and said, “Congratulations, Grandpa and Grandma!” Xiao Zheng saw Xiao Jingyu clapping, he also clapped and said, “May Grandpa and Grandma spend the rest of their lives together happily!” Both Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng believed that even if no one agreed, they would bless Grandpa and Grandma. 。Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng have been through a lot to get where they are today, but if it weren't for the support of Xiao Yi and Ye Chuan Ying, there would probably be even more twists and turns!

Since Xiao Yi announced this in front of the family today, Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng will definitely give their full support. 。Although Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei didn't say anything, they followed along with applause. 。Xiao Yi and Ye Chuan Ying looked over at them, smiling and nodding. 。At this moment, Xiao Fufu thought it was important to give his father face. Otherwise, things would be much more troublesome if his father didn't cooperate later on. So, Xiao Fufu said, "Father, it's truly not easy for you and Aunt Ye to meet again at such an advanced age! If you want to live together in the future, we will definitely congratulate you!" As he spoke, he also clapped his hands. Then, his gaze shifted to Xiao Guigui, Xiao Huahua, his son Xiao Xuan and his daughter-in-law Zhang Chenbi, and others. These people, out of respect for the head of the family, also followed suit and clapped their hands. 。Xiao Yi said: "Everyone, please rest assured, my marriage to Chuan Ying won't be a grand affair. We won't waste your money and time, and we don't want to attract the attention of others." 。The past few days, Chuan Ying and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. Then we went on a honeymoon trip. As for other things, we won't bother you with them. 。Xiao Fufu listened, and deliberately politely said: "Father, marriage is a major event in life" 。I still suggest that the wedding should be held. 。He knew his father's decisions rarely changed. If he said no, it probably wouldn't happen, so there was no need to mince words. 。Xiao Yi said: "Yi Dao: 'Fu Fu, you should understand me, so there's no need for polite words. I've already made arrangements with Chuan Ying about this.'" 。。To live a peaceful, happy life together for the rest of our days is a blessing from heaven. 。"Since the two elders have already made a decision, I won't say any more. I will follow your wishes. What you want is best." 。"And the third meaning is," Xiao Yi said, "Before this, Rongrong had already, in name, returned to the family." 。Today is the day they return home as a family. 。Rongrong, is my son, and also your brother. 。Before this, the family's rules forced Rongrong to run away from home, which also made me very uneasy. 。Luckily, he and his wife and son are all safe, so I feel a little better. 。Now that he has returned to the family, I hope you will treat each other with equality and support one another, working together to make the family stronger. 。Xiao Fufu said: "Father, we certainly welcome Rongrong's return." 。However, some specific issues need to be discussed. We'd like to talk to Father about them after dinner and finalize the details. 。"Xiao Yi said, "Now, you are the head of the family, you decide." 。“Father, you are right. As the head of the family, I have the right to decide on some family matters,” Xiao Fufu said. 。However, there are some things that even I, as the head of the household, am not aware of, so I still need to take up some of my father's time. 。Because of those things, only father probably knows. 。"That's right, Father. For example, there's a gold mine in Shu that is said to have been bought by Father for Rongrong." 。In this situation, the big brother doesn't know. 。When Xiao Gui Gui said this, everyone's faces showed surprise. Especially Xiao Gui Gui's wife Liu Miao, Xiao Fu Fu's son Xiao Xuan and his wife Zhang Chen Bi, their eyes lit up. 。The old patriarch Xiao Yi bought a gold mine for Xiao Rongrong but didn't tell the family What was this old man thinking! Liu Miao, wife of Xiao Guigui, thought to herself, "Today was right not to go to the banquet to meet the director, otherwise I would have missed out on the gold mine!" How much is a gold mine worth Even if they split it up, how much could she get If she were to act in movies, how many films would she need to make to earn as much as a gold mine Xiao Fufu said, "Guigui, let's just eat first. We can discuss this privately later." 。There is nothing that needs to be discussed privately. 。At this moment, Xiao Yi spoke up, "As for the matter of the gold mine, since everyone already knows..." 。I believe everyone has many questions in their hearts and wants to know what is going on, right "

Xiao Gui'gui's wife Liu Miao just heard Xiao Fu fu say "discuss privately" , her heart was already a little anxious! She immediately said: "Dad is right, for such a big thing, everyone has the right to know, right" 。“This is the first time I’ve heard about this,” Xiao Xuan also said. 。Is there really such a gold mine Who owns it We'd like to know too. 。Xiao Fufu looked at Xiao Guigui with a hint of blame, feeling that her quick tongue had filled the younger generation's hearts with suspicion. 。Xiao Guiguie obviously didn't admit to doing anything wrong. Seeing Xiao Fufu's reproachful expression, she said, "Big brother, look, Dad also said that there's nothing that needs to be 'discussed privately'. Since that's the case, it's better to make things clear in front of everyone, and then everyone's doubts will be cleared up." 。If this gold mine was purchased with family funds, now that Rongrong has returned, the gold mine should also be returned to the family. 。Liu Miao, Xiao Xuan, Zhang Chenbi and others also nodded, seeming to agree that the gold mine should be returned to the family, preferably with immediate share distribution and dividends. 。However, Xiao Yi spoke out boldly, "Let me first tell everyone a harsh reality: this gold mine belongs to Rongrong and their family. It has nothing to do with the rest of you." 。As soon as these words came out, Xiao Fufu, Xiao Guigui, Xiao Huahua, and the younger generation all looked stunned. 。At this point, Xiao Yi said again, "Fufu, in our group, your family holds 17%, GuiGui's family holds 13%, Huahua's family holds 5%, and I hold 20%. The remaining 45% is held by external investors from the family. Am I right"

Although Xiao Yi's grandfather had stepped down as the head of the family, in fact, he still held the most shares in the family group and was the actual controller. This was the source of his authority. 。About this, Xiao Fufu couldn't deny it either, and said: "That's right" 。"Xiao Yi then asked: "Our group, we give out 2% of the profits each year as dividends Right" Xiao Fu Fu also said: "That's right." 。“Seven years ago, one of my comrades had a gold mine that was nearly depleted. His family wasn't very good at managing it, and there were problems with the children, so they needed money and planned to sell it at a discount.” 。I just wanted to help him out, so I bought the nearly finished gold mine for 100 million yuan. Everyone wrote down Xiao Rongrong's name. 。So, the money to buy this mine came from my dividend share of the company. I never used any funds from the family group's accounts. 。Did you all hear that!”ack now." 。"If you want to stay, then stay!" Xiao Zhan Yu glanced at the main hall where family guests were gathered. He really didn't feel like staying any longer. Thinking that Tian Xiaowei was in...
