Chapter Thirty-Six: Meeting for the First Time (2)(1/2)
After dinner, the family did not change with the arrival of Cheng Shigui and the others. In the past, it was Mr. Lin's one-man show, but now everyone listens to Mobei playing the violin. After nearly a year of study, Mobei showed her amazing musical talent and learning ability.
Everyone moved to Mr. Lin's house together. Cheng Shigui and the others looked at the furnishings in the house and marveled! It was like entering an ancient study. Judging from the appearance of the books, they were all old things and well preserved.
Everyone sat on the chairs, "Xiao Bei, let's start!" Mr. Lin said.
After the innocent and lively little girl got into position just now, her temperament became serious, and a cheerful song "Skylark" came out briskly.
"This..." Han Zhiqian poked Cheng Shigui, who was sitting next to him, with his eyes wide open.[
This piece is a unique work by the Romanian composer Danicu (nu). It is a unique piece of vibrato on the high e string of the violin. The piece cleverly uses the vibrato technique of the violin's up and down fingers, with an extremely lively and joyful tone.
Melody, Cheng Shigui closed his eyes and seemed to be able to see the skylarks chirping in the forest, the sun was bright, and the scenery was picturesque.
Fang Mobei fell in love with Mr. Lin playing the violin for the first time. She liked the feeling of the music beating on the strings very much, so when she learned that she could also learn it, she naturally worked hard and hoped that she could also play it.
Make beautiful music.
Cheng Shigui also couldn't believe that a three-year-old child could express the artistic conception of the song so well. Although his technique was not fully mature and he was a little stuttered, he would not have imagined it in the future.
It seems that since he got to know 'Nan Nan', nothing is impossible, and his heart's endurance has gradually increased.
After the song ended, Mr. Lin commented: "It's okay. There are two places that should be like this... This way... it will be better." Seeing that Mobei wanted to do it again, the old man stopped him. "Okay, this won't happen overnight.
Well, let’s practice again tomorrow.”
"Nannan, where are you!" Mr. Lin called by name, "Although you are very affectionate, old man, I feel uncomfortable if I don't listen to you for a day."
"What? Grandpa, I want more!" Fang Monan pointed to herself and said. She reluctantly stood up and picked up the erhu. The same "Skylark" came out brightly. The erhu's timbre was similar to the human voice, with a distinctive personality and great artistic appeal.
and national charm.
Different instruments express the same music. After all, Fang Monan is older at heart. After these years of erhu learning, it is not easy to change the famous violin music to erhu. His physical coordination is better than that of ordinary children. With his superb skills
The vibrato stunt is accomplished in one go.
"Oh! What a pity!" Mr. Lin looked at her with regret, as if everything was her fault.
Fang Menannan shrugged his shoulders, "I told you not to pull it."
"What a pity, it sounds good to me." said my aunt.
"Nan...Jie Nan" Cheng Shigui said incorrectly, so he corrected himself and said: "I can't be picky about my technique. Unfortunately, I can only express the emotion of the music. I can't hear the emotions of the performer outside the music, so I can't resonate with it. It's just like background music."
Although Xiaobei is not skilled in skills, it is possible to catch up with more practice, and she is very emotional, highly contagious, and attracts listeners. Some emotions require rich experience to express. And Xiaobei is very emotional.
Bei has innate advantages and understanding when it comes to relationships."
"Rotten wood cannot be carved," Mr. Lin said with emotion as he looked at Fang Monan.
"Grandpa Lin, just be content! Xiao Bei is the focus of your education, I'm just a sparring partner." Fang Monan blinked innocently. "Okay, it's time to tell a story." She changed the subject.
"You!" Mr. Lin nodded her head, "Let's continue to tell idiom stories and fables." Mr. Lin finished telling the four classics and began to tell idiom stories. The stories were short and had profound implications. But what he told was different from others.
He often talks about the evaluations of his predecessors and adds his own comments. The lectures are very casual and open-ended, and he also allows them to express their own insights. Even Mobei sometimes expresses his views on issues. He teaches them how to
Be a person and do things.
Liang Zi was mesmerized every time and learned a lot. Ever since he learned about these "stories" after dinner, as long as he didn't go south, he would always go back to the place to do the accounting and order the goods until very late, without stopping.
Mr. Lin took this into consideration and introduced some books for him to read. He learned a lot from the past and present.
"Okay, it's eight o'clock, it's time to go to bed." Mr. Lin clapped his hands. They still didn't finish listening and reluctantly left.
After hearing this, Liang Zi stood up and said goodbye and left, going back to the store and continuing to work. After knowing this, Shouhou and Fatty also strongly requested to join. Later, the three of them negotiated and took turns, and told each other when they returned.[

"Agui, do you want to take a bath?" Fang Monan stopped the two of them and asked.
"It's great that I can still take a shower. I haven't been able to take a shower for several days and I feel like I'm getting rancid." Han Zhiqian exclaimed happily.
"Follow me." Fang Monan took them to the kitchen and told them how to wash.
"Oh! Wait, I'll get a change of clothes." Cheng Shigui went to the bedroom to take out the clothes. He saw his grandma and aunt surrounding several large cardboard boxes in the living room. Seeing him coming, grandma and the others got out of the way, and Agui
Unpack the box.
"Color TV! Recorder!" Fang Monan said.
"Matthew originally wanted to move the refrigerator, but it was too big to fit in the car." Han Zhiqian moved them onto the table with him.
"There are more here." Cheng Shigui took out several beautifully packaged small boxes and handed them to Fang Monan.
"Rolex watch." Mr. Lin was surprised when he saw the packaging.
"The old man really knows the goods. I brought it from Switzerland." Cheng Shigui said. After getting Sister Nan's family information from Liang Zi, he decided to meet 'Sister Nan' in person. When he came back, he made a special detour to Switzerland to buy it.
"Yes! I once had one, but I gave it away." Mr. Lin cursed in his heart. He didn't know if they were doing well now. Let's look for it in two years when the policy is no longer repeated!
"These are all brought for you." Cheng Shigui handed the gifts to everyone one by one, mostly watches. When he gave them to Fang Monan, it was obvious that this gift was not suitable for her.
Fang Monan accepted: "It doesn't matter, I will wear it when I grow up."
The gift to Mobei was a new violin brought from Brescia, Italy. An old violin imitated by Stradiva has high sensitivity and is very suitable for children. It is easy to play the old violin; the sound quality of the old violin is very good.
, the sound is mature, without the sharpness and harshness of new violins. The penetrating power of the old violin is extremely strong. The body of this violin is slightly longer and the upper part is narrower, so the player will be very comfortable when using it. Mobei can't put it down.
Caress her gently and keep saying thank you.
After Cheng Shigui handed out the gifts, he and Han Zhiqian went to take a shower together.
The men's watch in Mr. Lin's hand is lying quietly in the gift box. It is very heavy and majestic, and it is extremely luxurious. It is classic silver-white, inlaid with diamonds, and low-key luxury.
What my mother is holding is a couple's 18k gold watch. It has fine workmanship, smooth lines, and a heavy feel, which is the ultimate luxury.
"Nan Nan, this is too expensive, how can we have it?" Mom looked at the watch and smacked her tongue.
"Take it as long as it's given to you. If nothing happens, just treat it as a sign of filial piety." Grandma said, "Oh! By the way, Dayan has vacated the north room. You can sleep with us tonight. Remember to put on new sheets.
This year’s new quilt is for the two of them.”
"I know." Mom put away the gifts and went to the north room to make the bed.
Fang Monan opened his grandma's gift, which was a white jade Guanyin, and his aunt's gift was an Omega women's watch with a milky silver dial and a diamond-encrusted dial.
"This watch is so beautiful." My aunt held it in her hand, "What brand is this watch and how much does it cost?" [
Mr. Lin was the only one who mentioned the brand of the watch just now. He seemed to know the brand of the watch very well. Several pairs of eyes looked at him, waiting for answers. "Rolex and Omega are both famous Swiss watches. Rolex was registered as a trademark in 1908. Rolex watch design book
It is dignified and not flashy when used. Omega probably has a history of more than 110 years. And Nan Nan has a longer history with this Patek Philippe, which is known as the best in the world."
"Wow... wow... how much does this cost!" My aunt smacked her tongue.
"It's not expensive, they are all the latest models. They only cost a few thousand yuan a piece." Cheng Shigui and the others said as they came in after taking a shower.
"Okay, go to bed now! It's a bit late today, won't you go to school tomorrow?" Grandma and aunt took Mobei and walked to the south bedroom.
Fang Monan sat on the heated Kang, leaning on the big quilt behind him and said, "Did you forget to mention the word US dollars?"
This bedroom is next to the kitchen where the steamed buns are steamed, so there is also a heated ondol.
Cheng Shigui and the others came in and locked the door, "Haha... I'm not afraid of scaring them." Han Zhiqian said with a smile.
"Grandma's jade Buddha, where did it come from? The jade quality is exquisite, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the posture is elegant. It is an ancient relic. Those watches combined cannot be worth its value." Fang Monan took a quick look and said, considering her current situation
His eyesight is extremely accurate.
"I met a small auction in Hong Kong when I came back." "'Sister Nan's' has a very good eye!" Cheng Shigui looked at her jokingly, leaning against the quilt with his back, looking relaxed and comfortable. After taking a bath, he was really
Feeling refreshed, I sat comfortably on the kang.
Fang Monan quickly changed the subject: "How is the situation in Italy?"
Cheng Shigui's face lit up, "We have invested more than 100 million to short Italian stocks using leverage, and now we conservatively estimate that the amount is about ten times as much."
"What?" Han Zhiqian's voice suddenly sounded too high. Cheng Shigui knocked on his leg, "So much?" His voice lowered. "By the way, you have so much money."
"Oh! 'Nannan' won more than 60 million in gambling, and I won more than 40 million, so I invested all of it." Cheng Shigui said honestly.
"Why don't you call me? I also won 60 million here!" Han Zhiqian shouted, "It's really not fun."
"You kid, you won so much and you didn't tell me." Cheng Shigui twisted his ears, "You lied to me and said you didn't play much, um..."
"Sister Nan, help me, I will hang out with you from now on." Han Zhiqian clasped his hands and begged. "Ahem...Okay, let's get down to business." Fang Monan coughed and said. "What are your plans next?"
"According to your prediction, the strike will continue for a while, and the money will increase." Cheng Shigui paused and said: "Speculation in the stock market is always only a temporary move. To make money stably, you still need to rely on industry. I want to invest the money
When engaging in industry, although the stock market brings in money quickly, it changes rapidly. Although industry is slow, it is down to earth. Even if we do not engage in industry ourselves, we must invest in industrial companies with potential, so that we can have a comprehensive strategy. Our acquisitions like Ferrari
It is impossible to build a company, but it is still possible to acquire a famous brand.”
"Oh! You want to acquire that brand?" Fang Monan raised his eyebrows. Men love cars, wine, and women most.
"Lamborghini, taking advantage of this strike, I want to acquire this brand." Cheng Shigui looked at her expression and understood what she meant, and said simply. "About fifty million U.S. dollars."
"You can wait, the government will probably change soon. The best time is in the darkness before dawn." Fang Monan thought about it. "In addition, you can also see if there are other investment opportunities.
.”
Cheng Shigui nodded, "At times like this, it's normal for the government to change. Opponents don't even need to find reasons to attack, they are ready-made."
Fang Monan recalled that in the early days of later generations, Lamborghini went bankrupt in 1980 due to poor management of the company. "With the support of family funds, the Swiss Patrick Millerman took control of Lamborghini, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, and turned it around. By the time
In 1987, when the profitability of supercars reached its peak, Millerman sold Lamborghini to Chrysler. After changing owners several times, it was placed under Audi in 1998 and is currently one of the brands held by the Volkswagen Group. Lamborghini
