Chapter 546 Family Fund
February 86, 2 was the 2th day of the twelfth lunar month, which happened to be a Sunday.
Zhou Rong contacted all his relatives living in the city in advance and invited them to come to Zhenhua International Hotel for a reunion dinner that day.
Zhou Rong also invited Jiang Linhai, Xiao Songbai, Shen Chunheng, Zhou Jiafeng, Zhou Jiafu and others.
Zhou Rong chartered a taxi back to Zhoujiawan and took Zhou's father and mother to the city to celebrate the New Year.
The two were also surprised by Zhou Rong's new look and asked her quietly if she would be investigated if she dressed like this. After learning that it would not happen, they praised Zhou Rong a lot and said that it looked good and they would dress like this in the future.
Their eldest daughter has worked hard all her life, and now she is finally willing to invest in herself, so they must support her...
In early June 85, the central government decided to cut 6 million troops, which is about a quarter of the current number of troops in our country.
The 11 major military regions were reduced to 7, and the staffing of the three headquarters, the General Political Department, the General Staff, and the General Logistics Department, was required to be reduced by half, and this task was to be completed within three years.
Zhou Qing'an was busy with the reform of the military region, so he wrote to Zhou Rong early and had no time to come back for the New Year this year.
Zhou Rong expressed his understanding and wrote back to Zhou Qing'an, asking him to take the matter in stride. If he was laid off, he could support his family. He also sent some New Year supplies to Liang Jingyi and her three children...
The Zhou family members who received the invitation didn't understand why Zhou Rong suddenly invited them to dinner, and asked if her family was going to have a wedding.
Zhou Rong said it was okay, he just wanted to get together.
Everyone felt that Zhou Rong would not hold a banquet for no reason. She has been the most low-key person for so many years, fearing that those with bad intentions would cause trouble for her through such a trivial matter.
Not wanting to be impolite, on February 2, everyone dressed neatly and went to Zhenhua International Hotel with red envelopes.
In Zhou Rong's generation, each family has several brothers and sisters. In Zhou Qinghong's generation, almost everyone has started a family and has several children. Together, it took 15 tables to seat everyone.
Zhou Rong was wearing a khaki fur-collared coat today, paired with leather shoes, curly hair, bright red lipstick, and holding a mobile phone. All of Zhou's relatives were curious about when she became a "rich man".
Xie Cuilian tugged at Zhou Jiahua and asked in a low voice, "We haven't seen the eldest sister for a while. How come she got rich and became a rich lady from an eldest sister?"
Zhou Jiahua: "How should I know? Why don't you go ask her?"
If we talk about the entire Zhou family, who Xie Cuilian is most afraid of, it must be Zhou Rong.
She couldn't figure out why. It seemed that ever since Zhou Rong became the director, she felt a little scared every time she saw him, for fear of saying something wrong and making the other party unhappy. She pondered every word over and over in her mind before speaking it out.
She didn't dare to ask Zhou Rong such a sensitive question now.
Xie Cuilian pushed Zhou Jiahua and said, "She is your sister, go ask her."
Zhou Jiahua: "I dare not. Let's wait and see if Big Sister will tell us. If she doesn't, forget it. We won't ask about it, so as not to make Big Sister unhappy."
Xie Cuilian: "Okay."
Before the meal started, Zhou Rong looked at everyone's inquiring eyes and said with a smile: "I went to Pengcheng some time ago and made some money by doing business with someone.
We are family, and we make money together. I plan to set up a trust fund, also called an investment fund. You can put your spare money into this fund, and I will invest it in various projects. The money earned will be distributed as dividends according to your investment ratio.
Of course, if there is a loss, the loss will be borne in the corresponding proportion.
We adopt the principle of voluntariness. If you have any doubts, just ignore what I said today and have a happy reunion dinner. "
Zhou Cai said carefully: "Sister, as cadres we cannot do business."
Zhou Rong: "I'm not asking you to do business. You can think of this fund as our family's private bank.
We pool our scattered money together and invest it in projects that need funding. When the projects are profitable, we get a certain percentage of the profits.”
Zhou Gui and Zhou Cai understood and planned to support Zhou Rong's career regardless of whether they made a profit or a loss. However, as cadres, they could not express some things to his face, so they winked at Zhou Jiaguang in unison.
After Zhou Jiaguang received the "code", he raised his hand and said, "Sister, your project sounds good. I'd like to invest 2000 yuan, but I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring any money with me. Can I send it to your house later?"
Zhou Rong: "Sure. I will return to Pengcheng after the Lantern Festival. If you want to invest, just send the money to Chen Mansion before then. I will sign the receipt for you."
Zhou Jiaguang: "Okay."
After Zhou Rong finished what he was about to say, he signaled to the hotel waiter that the meal could be served.
Zhenhua International Hotel is a five-star hotel with delicious and attractive food. Except for the children who were eating with gusto, the adults had no mood to enjoy the food. They were thinking about the fund project Zhou Rong mentioned and calculating how much money to invest in it.
There were several newly married daughters-in-law in the Zhou family who had little contact with Zhou Rong on a daily basis. They were worried about being cheated, so they didn't want to invest money and also didn't agree with their husbands and parents-in-law investing money.
They said that unless Zhou Rong signed a guarantee letter for them, promising a fixed monthly income that was higher than the bank’s interest rate, they would consider it.
Several people were arguing in low voices, and Zhou Rong heard part of it when he went to negotiate with the hotel manager about adding more dishes.
Zhou Rong smiled faintly. If there is not even the most basic trust, or if they can only share benefits but are unwilling to share risks, then this kind of relationship can be severed...
Zhou Rong sat at the same table with Jiang Linhai, Xiao Songbai, Zhou's father and mother and other elders.
Jiang Linhai asked Zhou Rong in a low voice why he wanted to do business and whether his pension was not enough.
Zhou Rong smiled and said: "We have always wanted to be extraordinary and treat our work and family with a fair and honest attitude and actions, but some cruel realities always make people give up their principles and bottom line.
I think those corrupt officials, at the beginning, also wanted to serve the people, but due to various current situations or driven by interests, they were corrupted step by step.
I don’t want my descendants to be troubled by money. If I am able, I would like to help them save more so that they don’t have to worry about the future and can pursue their dreams wholeheartedly without having to bow down for a few dollars.
Please rest assured, Uncle Jiang, I will not do anything illegal, and the investment projects are in line with the policy. "
Jiang Linhai nodded and said admiringly: "You are open-minded, brave and resourceful. I naturally believe in you. I will ask Acai to send you some money later. We support your project."
Zhou Rong: "Thank you, Uncle Jiang."
Xiao Songbai and Shen Chunheng also expressed that they would invest some money. The country is constantly increasing its reform efforts and money is playing an increasingly important role. Their family only has fame but no profit. Over time, the children may not be able to stick to their original intentions.
If you can take this opportunity to leave some money for your descendants, your children won't have to worry about money.
Even if they lose money, it’s okay, they still have pensions, and their lives will not be affected...
