Chapter 1308: Securing Victory in Advance
Qin Sijun smiled, feeling like an outsider. His children shouldn't pester him first when they see their dear father coming home. Why did they pester Li Mo anyway.
The gifts had been bought a long time ago or brought back from Bogota. Several children really refused to let go of the gifts until Qin Sijun dragged a suitcase into the living room and they cheered and surrounded him.
"Look what dad bought us?" Sisi and Ruirui saw that the gifts were all wrapped, and retracted their outstretched hands to see that the packaging didn't look like cheap goods.
"Li Mo, don't spoil them. Don't give them expensive things. If they play all crazy, wouldn't it be a pity if they accidentally break them?"
Chu Li walked over and took a look, took out a beautifully packaged box, opened it, and immediately took out a few red bills from his pocket.
"Everyone go buy something delicious first."
Children may have found red tickets more attractive than gifts, so they all ran out with the tickets in their hands with smiles on their faces. Naturally, security followed them.
Li Junyang glanced at his brothers and sisters, climbed off the sofa and walked to the suitcase to take a look.
"Here you go."
Chu Li took out another one and handed it to him.
"I'm not as naive as them. Can you dismiss me with just one picture?"
Chu Li silently took out another one.
"Thank you, aunt."
Li Junyang gave her a shallow smile, put the two hundred yuan in his pocket, and sat back on the sofa to continue reading medical books.
"This kid..."
Li Mo originally wanted to step forward and get close to him, but the thought passed away in a flash. You can't talk sense to him, otherwise you might be pissed to death if you don't convince him.
"Si Rui, you all go and take a look and bring gifts for everyone. Gobia lacks everything except gold and gems. The women in the family all have their share, and each of them has a set of platinum and emerald jewelry. There are several styles. Plant, let’s choose first.”
The gifts Li Mo gave were definitely not cheap. A set would cost hundreds of thousands.
Women have no resistance to beautiful jewelry. Even though Qin Sirui has seen many kinds of expensive jewelry, he still laughed happily like everyone else when he saw the beautifully crafted platinum and emerald jewelry set.
"Xiao Mo, the tea has been poured."
Mr. Qin seemed to be afraid of the cold. Even if there was heating in the room, he would still sit on the sofa wearing a thick cotton coat.
"Grandpa, Dahongpao is out of stock?"
"The Dahongpao mother tree only produces a small amount every year, which is not enough. If you don't have the top Dahongpao, you can just drink something else."
Qin Sijun also poured half a cup for Mr. Qin and held it to him with both hands: "Grandpa, you can drink some too."
"No more. I drank enough." Mr. Qin looked at Sijun and asked, "Did you not eat or drink well over there? You seem to have lost some weight."
"No way, steak every day is so nutritious."
Mr. Qin nodded: "Talking about this harvest, it is reported every day on TV, but the time is very short. My wife often tells me information on the Internet, but a lot of that information is untrue."
"Grandpa, I won't go into details. To sum up, this time we transported a total of about three million pieces of gold and gemstones from Gobia."
The figure of three million sounds quite bluffing, but if the gold nuggets were to be melted, it would probably only be sixty or seventy tons. It doesn't seem like much, but the oldest among those gold and gemstones has a history of two thousand years, and the more recent ones are five or six hundred years old. Each one is a cultural relic.
Moreover, there are too many of them that are well preserved, and their value will increase several times invisibly. Totem poles made of gold and precious stones are priceless treasures.
"Three million pieces. Xiao Mo needs to discover several treasures to get such a large number."
Li Mo smiled lightly and said: "From a purely cultural relic perspective, those gold and gem products have an extraordinary historical status in America, but they are not recognized by the public in our country. This is caused by the huge difference in cultural heritage. of."
Mr. Qin nodded slightly, this is indeed a fact. Like a painting in Li Mo's hand, a sword might be worth more than a billion or billions of yuan. How many gold and gems would it take to match their value?
"With the blessing of this achievement, the chance of Sijun being promoted next year will be more than 70%. It was 50-50 before, but now I am more certain. I hope I can see it in time."
Qin Sijun quickly smiled and said: "Grandpa, you are in such good health, you still have ten or twenty years of good life."
"Whatever you do after living for so long, you will turn into an old monster who knows nothing. I can still stay with you for another year or two, and I will thank God for his great kindness."
Mr. Qin seemed very calm when he said this. He seemed to have taken life and death lightly. For people like them, who have lived their lives in a hail of bullets, death is not terrible.
"Grandpa, Sijun is right. You are in good health. But I think Sijun not only has a 70% chance this time, but a 100% chance. By next month, he can directly seal the victory in advance."
Li Mo said very confidently.
Mr. Qin's face showed a bit of surprise: "Is there any better news?"
"At this time next month, an ocean-going merchant ship will arrive in Magic City, carrying more than 20 million pieces of various gold and gemstones. That is the biggest gain of our trip to Gobia."
"How many?"
Mr. Qin was stunned for a moment, afraid that he had heard wrongly.
Li Mo raised two fingers: "More than 20 million pieces."
After making sure he had heard correctly, Old Qin fell into a moment of contemplation after a brief surprise. After a while, he said: "It seems that the place has been rotten from the root, otherwise there would be no chance for you."
"Grandpa hit the nail on the head. It was the third fat man of the Niu family who mediated and secretly gave some money to the other party, making him rich overnight. After that, all the relationships were opened. In our country, such treasures would never have the chance to be discovered, let alone pass through the customs port."
"More than 20 million pieces, this time the victory is really locked in advance. Good, good, I will be satisfied as long as I hold on until the end of next month."
Li Mo stood up and clapped his hands and said: "Grandpa, the sun is good outside, do you want to go out for some fresh air?"
"People are refreshed when they are happy. Okay, push me out in the car. I haven't been out for a long time. I will come back for dinner after a walk."
Li Mo gave Old Qin a reassurance, and the latter talked a lot more.
After lunch, Qin Weiguo hurried back to the Qin family compound. When he heard that Li Mo had a bigger backup plan, he couldn't control his mood. He patted his thigh and said, "I will arrange the escort."
"Uncle, this matter must be kept secret."
"I know the severity of the matter. Nothing has been settled yet. Any variables may happen."
Qin Weiguo didn't stay in the compound for long and hurried away again. His work was very busy. He hurried back after receiving a call from Qin Lao at noon today.
"Xiao Mo, you just came back and have a good rest for a while. Come and run around and drink tea with me when you are free."
Qin Lao knew that only Li Mo could spare more free time at home. Qin Weiguo was busy with work all day, and Qin Sijun would soon return to the army to report, so he especially hoped that Li Mo would come to chat with him when he was free.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will come to your place to eat every day."
Li Mo drove Qin Sirui to his grandfather's house, and the three children were left to the care of the nanny, and then sent back to Yandu Guyunxuan Manor by a special car later.
"Xiao Mo, you've gotten a little darker." Qin Sirui touched his face with a bit of heartache, "Your skin is a bit rougher too."
Li Mo said with a smile while driving: "Let's not talk about anything else. Just from my job, I'm tanned and my skin is a bit rough. Isn't this normal? It's just a little change. I'll do skin care management every day in the future and try to become a fresh meat as soon as possible, okay?"
Qin Sirui was teased by him and immediately smiled.
"Xiao Yan gave birth to a baby boy. When are you going to visit her? I'll go with you and pick out a few gifts."
"Is she at home now?"
"Well, she's not out of confinement yet. Her parents-in-law came to Yandu from their hometown to take care of her and the child."
"That's good. Let's see in the next two days. I don't have anything important to do. As for gifts, they are all ready. Just pick a few and take them over."
Grandpa and grandma are not at home. The nanny at home said she was taking a walk in the nearby park. Li Mo and Qin Sirui turned around and walked towards a nearby park. Along the way, many people in the alleys greeted them enthusiastically.
There were quite a lot of people in the nearby park. Although it was a bit cold outside, the sun was good. In addition, older people might like to be lively, so it was nice to get together to bask in the sun and chat.
Grandpa was playing chess with an old man, and the game was coming to an end. Li Mo walked to them and knew that there was no need to continue the game with just a glance.
"Master Shi, I lost this game again. Your chess skills are really getting stronger and stronger." The old man who was playing chess was also very straightforward. If you lose, you lose. It's no big deal.
"Haha, that's because you haven't met the best masters yet. If my child attacks, you won't last ten minutes."
"Grandpa, are you praising me again?"
Shi Lao turned around and smiled, stood up and said, "Good boy, when did you come back?"
"It was almost noon, because there was an urgent matter that needed Uncle Qin to deal with."
Qin Lao stood up and said proudly to the onlookers, "Everyone knows my boy, right?"
"Master Li."
"Damn, Golden Eye, when did you come back?"
"Don't shout nonsense, he is obviously Academician Li, why do you call him so vulgar?"
"Vulgar? What a joke, it's obviously wealth."
A group of old men and women were arguing, Li Mo quickly appeased them, and said with a smile "My name is Li Mo, elders, just call me Li Mo."
"Okay, old friends, we'll start here on time after dinner tomorrow, don't forget."
Li Mo helped his grandfather stand up, looked around and asked, "Where's grandma?"
"She's practicing dancing with a few old sisters on the other side of the park. Let's talk while we walk." Shi Lao's physical and mental health is really good. He walked steadily, and then asked, "Are there any sequelae over there?"
"It doesn't matter if they realize it later, anyway, not all the things shipped back will be displayed to the public. But this time, the Columbia trip suddenly had some immature ideas, so I'd like to talk to you alone and listen to your ideas."
"What do you think?"
Li Mo then put forward some of his own ideas about the future plans for the madman, Jem, and that Rehedo.
"Your idea sounds a bit nonsense at first, but if you calm down and think about it carefully, it is indeed a good move. It may be a bit difficult at the beginning, but in the long run, as long as you stick to it, maybe a miracle will happen." Shi Lao thought for a while and continued, "You should submit a written report as soon as possible. This is called long-term planning. As long as one of them can be promoted, everything invested is worth it."
"I think so too."
"If you have any good ideas, just put them forward. If I can't give you any suggestions, you can go to Zhongnanhai to find someone. You did a great job this time, and the kid from the Qin family has secured victory in advance."
Li Mo and Qin Sirui stayed in the courtyard until after five o'clock in the afternoon before saying goodbye and leaving. When they returned to Guyunxuan Manor, dinner had not started yet. Sisi and Ruirui were watching cartoons, and Jun Yang was not there.
"Sisi, where is your brother?"
Li Mo walked into the living room and asked.
"Reading in the study."
Li Mo paused, then asked: "Why don't you and Ruirui go to study?"
"Dad, we don't know many words, how can we study."
Ruirui said a little aggrieved.
"Forget it, let them continue watching cartoons, you go wash up first, I'll go see him."
Li Mo took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, and walked into the living room to see Li Junyang sitting on the sofa a little bored watching cartoons on TV. The two sisters were amused from time to time, but he often turned his head to look at them, with a speechless look on his face.
"Prepare for dinner, everyone go wash your hands."
Sisi Ruirui turned off the TV reluctantly, and then jumped towards the bathroom. Only Li Junyang looked up at Li Mo: "Dad, are the two sisters your biological children? Why are they always so childish? The cartoons are not good at all, but they are still laughing."
Why is this child so unpleasant to talk to?
Li Mo walked up to him, touched his head and said, "Go wash your hands, wash your palms, backs of your hands and nails thoroughly, otherwise I won't be responsible if you get sick."
Jun Yang had to get off the sofa and go to the bathroom.
There were two dishes that Li Mo liked best on the table, one was naturally the fish head with sauce, and the other was the spicy pig intestines, which were especially good with rice.
"Dad, give me a piece of fish eye."
Li Jun Yang pushed the bowl in front of him.
