"Qiao Guifa died of both his parents since he was a child, and his family was poor and had to live in his uncle's house. Later, he could not bear this kind of life of living under someone else's roof, so he went to Baotou, Inner Mongolia to do business. After decades of hard work, he founded the Fusheng Gong business, with businesses all over Baotou, and even produced the folk proverb that Fusheng Gong first came and then Baotou City."

Hao Baolai talked happily: "With the careful management of the descendants of the Qiao family, Confucian merchants such as Qiao Zhiyong appeared during this period. The Fusheng Gong business name is naturally becoming increasingly prosperous, and the gold, silver and jade artifacts and treasures in their homes are incalculable."

"As the ancients, there must be a tradition of returning home in glory. The Qiao family is no exception. With so much money, they naturally have to go back to their hometown to build their own mansion. This mansion is the famous Qiao family courtyard. Those who have filmed TV series, you have watched it."

Seeing Wang Guan and Gao Dequan nodding, Hao Baolai smiled and said, "But as the saying goes, no one is good for a thousand days, no flowers are red for a hundred days, and the situation of the Qiao family is similar. After the Revolution of 1911, it had little impact on the Qiao family's business. Even in that era when the warlords fought, although they suffered some losses, they gritted their teeth and survived."

"The most serious thing was during the War of Resistance Against Japan. Baotou was occupied by the Japanese army, the northwest trade route was basically cut off, and the market was depressed, and the Qiao family's business was even more fatal. From then on, the Qiao family's vitality was severely damaged and it was in a slump."

Speaking of this, Hao Baolai's expression was a little strange: "Of course, the Qiao family has a foundation of 200 years. Even if it is severely hit, it can barely survive."

"Until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, shops applied for resumption of business. But the good times did not last long. Then the founding of New China. You also understand the situation after that. The country does not allow private enterprises to exist, so..."

Unwilling to talk about this matter more, Hao Baolai said in one word and continued: "By the Qiao family in Jinyang, strictly speaking, it is just a branch of the Qiao family of Fusheng Gong. By the Qiao Si generation, it is probably not much involved with the Qiao family of Fusheng Gong."

"As for the history of Qiao Si's success in Jinyang..." Hao Baolai hesitated for a while, and saw that no one was passing by around him, then he whispered: "Wang Guan, when it comes to Jin Province, what will you think of first?"

Wang Guan thought something and said softly: "Boss coal?"

“By the way.”

Hao Baolai nodded, his expression was very complicated, as if he was longing and envious. He was also jealous and angry: "These people are in China's energy province, and they happened to encounter the opportunity of economic growth, and they became rich overnight. Qiao Si, the Qiao family in Jinyang... is wrong, they should be called Master Qiao Si, who is the lucky one."

"After decades of development and mergers, I don't know how many coal mine resources the Qiao family has mastered. But it is certain that it is definitely one of the top mine owners, and there are even more tens of thousands of miners who dug coal under it."

At this time, Hao Baolai smiled and said, "Now you should understand. Why did the Qiao brothers and sisters always say that they wanted to bury people? It is indeed the origin of family education."

Hearing this, Wang Guan couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking of various rumors about coal bosses. BMW luxury cars are spread all over the city, marriage daughters are given a dowry of billions, and the family members of the mine disaster cry to ask for an explanation... and other news. I believe that as long as you pay attention to social news, you can always hear some.

Wang Guan dared not make arbitrarily judge the truth or falsehood of it, but it is believed that there must be fiction and exaggeration in it. However, it is undeniable that there are certainly some real examples.

"Don't think too much." Gao Dequan smiled and said, "Let's go back and enjoy the Heiding Tea Cup well. I haven't seen enough yet."

"That's it." Hao Baolai nodded quickly and said with a smile: "Get a photo immediately after you go back, so that others will not believe that I have seen such rare treasures..."

While talking, the three of them walked back to Yuebao Tower, and enjoyed the tea cups while enjoying the tea cups. It was very comfortable.

Not long after, Baye also arrived in Shanghai. Wang Guan drove to pick her up. Then he spent one night in the suite provided by Hao Baolai. The next morning, several people took gifts and took them to the dock at Hao Baolai's port.

Seeing Hao Baolai parked on the beach, Wang Guan was naturally surprised: "Why did you come to the port?"

"Haha, it seems that Brother Wang, you have never been to the Su family." Hao Baolai pushed the door and got out of the car, and then smiled: "The rest of the Su family may have a house in the city, but Mr. Su lives in a villa on the island."

"Island Villa?" Wang Guan was stunned, then felt relieved.

In recent years, a craze for island owners has emerged on the coastal islands. With the economic conditions of the Su family, it is not difficult to circle an island to build its own private back garden.

Of course, as the host, the Su family definitely cannot let the guests rent a boat to the island by themselves, but arranged several passenger ships next to the port with great thoughtfulness. As long as the guests come and show their invitations, someone will naturally take them to their destination.

However, Hao Baolai is a big boss with a wealthy wealth, and he is a local boss, so he has no passenger ship arranged by the Su family because he has a private yacht.

"Go away."

After getting on the yacht, Hao Baolai waved his hand gently and the yacht immediately rode the wind and waves.

To be honest, there are no islands around Shanghai City, but there are river islands such as Chongming Island and Changxing Island. So the direction of the yacht is now facing the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang Province.

Of course, the distance is not very far. With the speed of the yacht, after about half an hour, you can clearly see a beautiful island. When the yacht is close to the shore of the island, you can also vaguely see a manor-like villa located halfway up the mountain.

At this time, seven or eight yachts were docked on the island's pier, and it was obvious that guests had arrived here before them. In addition, there were also hosts of welcome guests on the shore of the island. The leader was a middle-aged man who was somewhat similar to Su Wenyi. He was probably Su Wenyi's brother, but Wang Guan didn't know him anyway.

No matter what, middle-aged people must be a versatile character who can be the front line of welcome guests. When they saw Wang Guan and others coming ashore, they immediately smiled and greeted them.

"Brother Hao, welcome..." The middle-aged man was filled with enthusiasm and said something thankful to Hao Bao for coming.

After some greetings and politeness, another passenger ship was slowly sailing. The middle-aged man quickly asked the host of ceremonies beside him to lead Hao Baolai and others to the manor, and he met the passenger ship again. There were more guests on the passenger ship, which was enough for him to work hard.

Under the instructor of the ceremonial, Wang Guan and others slowly went up the mountain to see the landscape of the island.

Generally speaking, islands rarely grow big trees and forests. However, this island has obviously been transplanted, and large areas of mulberry fruit trees have been transplanted around the manor, especially at the foot of the hillside. Perhaps because of scientific transplantation and careful care of gardeners, these trees have grown up healthily and have already become the prototype of a forest.

Of course, the island has limited land and the trees are congenitally restricted. It is estimated that they have reached this point and it is difficult to develop any further. Despite this, the lush trees attract many birds to build nests and nests. Wang Guan and others walked along the way and heard many crisp and pleasant bird songs.

In addition, I don’t know who designed it. The road that could have directly led to the manor on the hillside was deliberately created with a zigzag corner. Walking on the zigzag tree-lined path, you can feel the quietness and elegance of this jungle.

Think about it, the manor is located on the island and is wrapped in a quiet forest, as if it is isolated from the world. You can breathe fresh and oxygen-filled air every morning, and both the body and the mind should be able to maintain a comfortable state. In this case, prolonging life is definitely not a dream.

Suddenly, Wang Guan thought of a question: "After all, it's on an island, so it should be difficult to get water."

Although you are on an island, you are surrounded by inexhaustible sea water. The problem is that sea water is definitely not suitable for drinking. So sometimes, the environment of the island is actually similar to that of the desert, and water sources are the biggest problem.

"There is a spring on the top of the mountain." Hao Baolai smiled and said, "The spring water is sweet and cool, and it is enough to drink. Besides, the Su family is willing to spend money and build a set of seawater purification equipment on the island, so naturally there is no need to worry about water shortage."

While speaking, everyone walked out of the tree-lined path, and in front of them was a very exquisite manor building. The manors were continuous, completely like Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens, but they were slightly changed, and they also incorporated modern style in the retro style. At least between a bamboo and wood temple, a modern hall suddenly appeared. Don’t think it’s strange.

"Brother Hao, Brother Gao!"

At this time, Su Wenyi was guarding the manor gate to welcome guests, and next to him, there were several young men and women in an orderly manner, which should be the younger generation of the Su family. However, what surprised Wang Guan was that Su Yu was not among them.

"Brother Su..."

Hao Baolai came to meet him, and there was inevitably another wave of politeness.

After chatting for a few words, the big group of guests who came on the passenger ship also appeared behind. Hao Baolai was very tactful. Hearing the noisy sounds behind him, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Su, is the old man inside? Let us go in and say hello."

Su Wenyi naturally agreed and quickly asked a young man to lead Hao Baolai and others to pay homage to Mr. Su.

After entering the manor, I walked along a winding pebbles path, passed a hanging flower arch, and walked around for a while, and in front of me was a very delicate and elegant bamboo and wood building.

At this moment, in front of the courtyard lawn of the small building, a group of people were sitting around. Wang Guan’s eyes were sharp and he suddenly found Mr. Yan. In addition, Su Yu...

Today, Su Yu's outfit is relatively simple, of course it is simple in gorgeousness. The light white cheongsam does not have many prosperous patterns. Only a pink plum blossom is embroidered at the corner of the clothes, which looks very simple, elegant and beautiful.

Her long black and shiny hair is still tied up high, and under her white earlobes, two crystal clear earrings are decorated with eye drops, making her beautiful facial features look more elegant and refined.
