Chapter 648: Chapter 641: Prestigious Company
Rose is around forty years old, with a slightly plump figure but not overweight. She’s not an exceptionally beautiful woman, but she’s very pleasant to look at, and especially gentle and patient. Most of the children at home were raised by Rose. The children of the Mu Family also like Rose very much. If the kids were to rank their favorites at home, Aunt Ruby would certainly be at the top.
Sisi also liked the kind and gentle Rose, comparable to the virtuous wives and good mothers of Country Z, which is truly rare in Country U.
"Sisi, hurry and drink this bowl of chicken soup. I specially added red dates."
Rose walked over with a bowl of fragrant chicken soup, and Sisi quickly got up to take it, thanking Rose.
Looking at the bowl of chicken soup, Sisi couldn’t help but make a face. No matter how delicious something is, drinking it three times a day is tiring!
Besides, the chickens here in Country U never seem as tasty as the chickens in Country Z. The soup they make isn’t quite authentic, and not fresh enough.
But this was Rose’s kind gesture, so Sisi pinched her nose and drank the chicken soup in one go, then wrinkled her face and said to Rose, "Rose, my body is already better, you don’t have to make chicken soup anymore."
"That’s not allowed. Father instructed me to make chicken soup for you every day, and I can’t stop," Rose strictly followed Uncle Mu’s orders, completely ignoring Sisi.
The two children beside Sisi watched her with giggles, and Sisi made a funny face at them, making the children laugh even more happily.
These two children were Rose’s youngest son and daughter, named Amy and Abel. They were only five years old, a very cute pair of twins, also the most cherished by Uncle Mu at home.
Every time she saw this pair of twins, Sisi always imagined if the child in her belly would also be twins? Would they be as pretty and adorable as Amy and Abel?
How exciting!
Because she hadn’t fully recovered, Sisi was confined at home, not allowed to play on the beach and especially not allowed to go in the water. Bored, Sisi could only play with blocks with the two little ones.
Because only these two little ones in the Mu Family had time to play with her, everyone else was busy to death.
So boring!
But Sisi was soon not bored, because her younger brother Bao Guo came in the afternoon, bringing along two amusing friends, who were his partners Noi and Bieber.
At twenty-two, Bao Guo was already a handsome and tall young man. His once soft and chubby face had turned into a handsome, firm face, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, full of charm with every glance and smile.
Sisi poked Bao Guo’s face, completely ignoring the fact that Bao Guo had turned into a handsome shrimp-like face, regretfully saying, "Why is there no more flesh? So firm, it was so good when you were little, like a bun!"
Bao Guo was in a dilemma, he was already twenty-two, how could he still have a bun face and go out?
Bieber and Noi were amazed at Sisi, calling her ’Angel’ sister so warmly it seemed as if they were the ones who were Sisi’s brothers.
Sisi was so amused by these two foreign handsome guys that she took out two big red envelopes from her bag and handed them to them, "Here, this is our Country Z tradition, a big red envelope for the first meeting. Please take care of Allen in the future."
Even though the two amusing ones were from Country U, MONEY knows no borders, and they had already sensed the wonderful scent of cash from the red envelope’s exterior. Their smiles grew more sincere, and they happily called her sister.
"Don’t worry, Sisi, we will take good care of Allen. I even wash his socks," claimed Bieber, asking for praise.
"Yesterday, I even cooked steak for Allen. Sisi, don’t worry about Allen going hungry," Noi wasn’t willing to be outdone.
Bao Guo couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He had washed dozens of socks for Bieber, but he only washed one because he lost a bet, and although Noi did cook steak, it was burnt black, definitely filling but worthy of cremation.
"Ahem!"
Bao Guo lightly coughed a few times, and Noi and Bieber laughed awkwardly, not daring to keep bragging anymore, quickly changing the topic to their company—Neptune.
When the three young men talked about their company, they were all as excited as if they were on a high.
"One day, we’ll own our own satellite, and everyone in Country U will be our client. Whenever they mention a radio station, they’ll say, we only listen to Neptune’s station. Hahaha, what a great thing that would be."
Satellite?
It sounded grand, but wasn’t launching a satellite a huge project? In her past life, she remembered that every satellite launch in Country Z was celebrated nationwide, which meant it wasn’t a simple matter, right?
Moreover, even with national efforts, it was that difficult; could these three ordinary boys really launch a satellite?
Isn’t that a bit unrealistic?
Sisi voiced her doubts, and the three laughed. Bao Guo explained, "We want to create only small commercial satellites, not for scientific purposes. Technologically, it’s not that difficult. What we lack now is funding, and once we have the funds, we can make the first satellite."
"How much does one satellite cost?" Sisi asked.
"200 million US dollars."
Hearing this astronomical number, Sisi jumped off the sofa in shock. 200 million US dollars? Converted to RMB, it’s over a billion. These guys sure are bold!
Fearless indeed!
"Where do you plan to get such a huge sum? It’s not a small amount," Sisi questioned.
Sisi herself couldn’t provide that much money, though He Xuewen could, but she didn’t think launching satellites was a good idea. At least in her past life, she’d never heard of anyone making big money from launching satellites, though perhaps she was just ignorant.
"We’re currently doing other work, planning to earn money first, and then launch satellites when we’ve saved enough," Bao Guo said.
"What type of work are you currently doing?" Sisi asked with concern.
Bao Guo smiled awkwardly, "We’re doing some software development work and also making some stock investments. Our company is already making a profit now."
When Bao Guo said this, he was quite nervous because he had invested all of Sisi’s 150,000 yuan into the stock market, which was a joint decision with his two friends. If this gamble paid off, they could multiply the 150,000 many times over, but if they lost, they’d simply return to zero.
"Stocks are good. How about I give you some more money, and Bao Guo, you invest in stocks for me," Sisi suggested.
It was then Sisi remembered that in her past life, Bao Guo had been a genius financial advisor on Wall Street, helping many U Country wealthy people with investments and finances. He was really impressive.
Such a great opportunity, how could she miss it?
Sisi then took out a special check from her bag, issued by a U Country bank in Country Z, where she kept most of her money, making it very convenient to withdraw funds.
Scribbling zeroes, Sisi wrote out a total of 1 million US dollars, confident that with Bao Guo’s ability, he would definitely multiply this sum.
Bao Guo took the check, rubbed his eyes, and once again witnessed the previous spectacle of collective numeracy, instantly turning all three into wooden figures.
"Sisi, aren’t you afraid I’ll lose all your money?" Bao Guo, the first to wake up, asked.
"No, I’m confident in your ability, Bao Guo. You’ll surely make a profit," Sisi said with a smile.
Of course not. In her previous life, Bao Guo was so skilled, winning battle after battle. In this life, although Bao Guo hadn’t yet revealed his extraordinary financial talents, she would be the one to see his potential!
