Chapter 191 English Mutual Aid Group
Lu Ding also followed up on Lu Yiming's words and analyzed the situation to Ning Xuehua: "What's so good about this kind of thing? Isn't it better to make a fortune quietly? If your family and friends know about it, they will come to you to borrow money. Will you lend it to them or not? If you lend it to them, it will be like throwing meat buns at dogs and never come back. If you don't lend it to them, they will say you are heartless and don't help others. You are not a human being either way."
Being lectured by both father and son, Ning Xuehua felt aggrieved: "My son is so outstanding, what's wrong with me showing off? Besides, I only mentioned that Yiming made $300,000 from programming, and I didn't tell anyone else."
After all, she was his biological mother, so Lu Yiming could only coax her in a gentle manner and didn't dare to say a single harsh word.
"Yes, yes, I am so handsome and talented. My mother has contributed a lot to my success. It is not too much to show off. However, I still have to be a little careful. It is not appropriate for our family to be too ostentatious right now."
Ning Xuehua was a reasonable person after all. Although she felt a little uncomfortable being lectured by the father and son, after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that she was a little rash in agreeing to Lu Yiming to help Duan Letian with his English lessons.
What if it delays my son’s college entrance examination?
Ning Xuehua began to regret it and felt that she should find some time to discuss the matter of tutoring in English with her cousin Luo Rujun. She needed to take a long-term view. After all, her nephew Duan Le was only in the third grade and there was no need to rush.
However, having said that, although Lu Yiming is very opposed to the idea of "foreign relatives interfering in politics" in his own company, he is still happy to help his relatives make some money.
He thought for a moment and said, "Dad, Mom, now that I've said it, it's impossible to take it back. If any relatives ask to borrow money or ask me to help them get rich, you can ask them to buy Future Capital's 'Win in the Future' financial product, which guarantees principal and interest and has an annual interest rate of 10%. You can deposit and withdraw at any time, which is much better than a bank's fixed deposit. Of course, I still hope that no relatives will come to borrow money."
With such a way to make money, those who have money can naturally make some money. The more you buy, the more you earn, and the less you buy, the less you lose. However, Lu Yiming does not rely on this. The reason why he said this is to give everyone a shot of prevention.
In fact, Lu Yiming had been very generous to them by not setting a minimum investment limit. After all, according to the company's rules, if the investment amount was less than 50,000, they would not even be qualified to become clients of the future fund company.
Ning Xuehua was extremely surprised after hearing this, and couldn't help asking, "Ten percent annual interest? Is it reliable with such a high interest rate?"
Lu Yiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, I opened this company. Do you think it's reliable? Can I cheat my own relatives?"
Ning Xuehua nodded with satisfaction, and then she was quite tempted: "How about I buy some too? To support your work? Oh, by the way, you have to give me a higher interest rate, 12%... No, at least 15%! Any less will be meaningless!"
Lu Yiming: “…”
Is this supporting the work or taking advantage ?
Lu Yiming looked at Lu Ding and asked another question: "By the way, Dad, how is the matter with the batch of machine tools going?"
Previously, Lu Yiming gave Lu Ding 400,000 US dollars to let Lu Ding import machine tools, but later he was busy shorting the ruble and had not paid attention to this matter for a long time.
Hearing Lu Yiming suddenly ask about this matter, Lu Ding's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to take a bite of rice, and said vaguely: "Well, it's okay."
How could such an obvious change be hidden from Lu Yiming, who has lived a second life?
He could tell at a glance that there must be something else going on.
However, Lu Yiming also knew that his father Lu Ding was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Now that his father refused to mention anything about the matter, it was natural that he was unwilling to talk about it, so he did not continue to ask.
Anyway, four hundred thousand dollars is not a lot of money. Just think of it as throwing it into the sea to make a noise. As long as my dad is happy, it doesn’t really matter.
"Okay, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to discuss it with me."
"Um."
The next morning, as soon as Lu Yiming walked into the classroom, Wu Qiuya came over to him.
"Student Lu Yiming, you are finally here."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly in response, then began to tidy up his desk.
Wu Qiuya was still enthusiastically telling Lu Yiming about the progress of her plan: "We just discussed the establishment of an English mutual aid group. There are already six people in the group, including me, Wu Kejun, Zhan Jingyun, Li Zhengkai, Zheng Fengting, and Lu Jiajia. Now with you, there are seven people in total."
Lu Yiming was slightly stunned: "Just two boys?"
But this is not surprising. Girls in high school generally mature earlier, and liberal arts are also areas where girls excel. Therefore, the students with good English grades in Class 7 are mostly girls. Among them, Lu Jiajia can speak fluent English, but she is usually quiet, so she does not stand out.
Wu Kejun asked Lv Jiajia curiously: "I heard that your father is a diplomat in Europe. Is this true?"
Lu Jiajia smiled shyly: "No, he is just an ordinary attendant."
Attaché is the lowest level of diplomatic rank.
The main job is to be responsible for some auxiliary clerical work or preliminary intelligence collection and investigation and research tasks. Generally speaking, these positions are used to arrange internships for young people who are new to the diplomatic community.
However, this also depends on the actual situation. After all, if you are serving as an attaché in Java or in a mainstream power in Europe and the United States, the situation will definitely be different.
As for Lu Jiajia's father, he could go to Europe, a long-established capitalist power. Needless to say, he must have a strong background, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to get such a good job.
When the people around heard this topic, they immediately became interested and surrounded Lu Jiajia in three layers.
"Lv Jiajia, which country is your father in?"
"Have you been to your father's?"
"Your father is abroad, so can you go abroad to play often?"
It was the first time that Lv Jiajia was being watched by so many classmates. She seemed a little nervous and could only whisper to everyone about her father: "My father is in France. As family members of diplomats, we cannot go abroad casually. The approval procedures will be very troublesome."
Naturally, students know very little about such political matters, but no one cares. Young people are more concerned about whether the place is fun, beautiful, or delicious.
Wu Qiuya was very envious: "I wish I had a father who was a diplomat. I heard that Paris is the fashion capital, and the fashion and jewelry there are the best in the world."
