Chapter 298 Family Conference

Zhao Yue took a cigarette and nodded, "Since you've all thought about it, that's fine! You can play here for a few days, and then go to Binhai with me in a few days. Let's go there first to see if we can find any talent and make a job advertisement by the way! I'm about to start working. Let me introduce someone to you!"

Chen Xuan said, "Brother Yue, we want to start from the grassroots level. After all, we don't have experience in senior management. We want to exercise first!"

"I will think about it!" Zhao Yue said.

After dinner, Wei Cheng, Yang Lin, Chen Xuan and Xiao Yu went upstairs to watch TV.

The housekeeper Federlow ordered the two servants to clean up the living room and set up tables, chairs and benches. Before nine o'clock, the uncles and brothers of the Zhao family came one after another. The whole hall on the first floor was noisy. Almost everyone of these brothers and sisters took the children with them. The children's cries and playful sounds made people talk. I couldn't hear it clearly. Federlow quickly asked the servant to take out the melon and fruit snacks and melon seeds and candies to block the children's mouths.

Seeing that everyone was almost all down, Zhao Yue invited several prestigious uncles to the upper seat, and asked Federlow to take out a few cigarettes and send a pack to each man. For a moment, the hall was covered with smoke, and the children were smoked outside in the yard to play.

These uncles and brothers of the Zhao family have a total of 60 or 70 people, plus hundreds of their wives, which filled the whole hall, and the two servants kept giving tea to each table.

Zhao Yue stood up and looked around and said with a smile, "Are you all here? What I want to talk about next has something to do with everyone! Who let us be the same ancestor? Some uncles may remember this. In another month, it will be his uncle's 100th birthday! One hundred years old! How many people in the world can live to be more than 100 years old? To live to be seventy or eighty years old is a long life!"

My cousin Zhao Wenliang asked, "Wuezi, do you mean to celebrate your uncle's birthday? I agree with this! Speaking of our uncle's age, he may be the only one in our county. The old man can still work in the field at such an old age. He is very well-bodied. This is a great joy! We juniors also benefit from it!"

Zhao Wenliang is almost 42 years old this year. In the past few years, he has made a lot of money as a contractor. His buildings are built four floors high, and the area is also very large. The decoration is very luxurious. His grandson is two years old.

Zhao Yue saw his cousin Zhao Wenliang and nodded with a smile, and said, "Everyone has watched the four generations on TV!" It's not easy! But what about us? It's even harder for us. We are now six generations together. Brother Wenliang's grandson is two years old! I'm afraid there are few in the country! So, I called everyone over today to discuss how to celebrate my uncle's birthday, not only to do it, but also to do it! You also need to invite reporters to report, go to the newspaper and TV! If I can, I even want to find someone to write a script about our big family and make it into a TV series, which is called Six Lives Together, so that the people of the whole country can see how our big family has come from the end of the Qing Dynasty to now, and what the vicisssitudes we have experienced!"

"Good", "Good!", "Good!" After listening to Zhao Yue's words, the uncles and brothers in the hall all blew up the pot, and they all shouted well! Applause hard. It's a beautiful and face-to-faced thing to be in the newspaper and on TV! Several uncles and old people sitting on the table were excited and flushed, and their lips trembled! In order to hide their excitement, they all smoked vigorously.

Think about it, it's true. Six generations are in the same house. I'm afraid that few families can be in the same house for six generations since ancient times. "The more, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money for this big deal, right?" Zhao Yue's uncle Zhao Shizhu asked.

Hearing Zhao Shizhu's words, everyone listened with open to see what Zhao Yue said! Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Uncle is a sensible person. It must cost money to celebrate this birthday. If Uncle Decai does it by himself, this scene will be much smaller. They don't have so much money to do it! Maybe he still has to lose his money. What I mean is that we, uncles and brothers, do it together together, and we all make up the money, and we don't have to be humane anymore! As for how much money each family pays, it is not forced to pay how much. If you have more money, you have more money, you have less money. If you don't have money, you have to contribute to run errands and help. In short, as long as you participate, it means that you have done your filial piety to the old man. The old man must know it in his heart!"

My cousin Zhao Xinghe said, "Brother Yue, according to what you said, we should do a big deal. With the financial resources of our people, I'm afraid there is a big gap in collecting money!" Zhao Xinghe is a teacher in a middle school in the town. He is a cultural man. He is very good-looking. He has only been married for a few years and has no other income. He is naturally very shy in his pocket.

Zhao Yue said, "Xinghe is worthy of being a college student and a middle school teacher. He suddenly talked about the key point! A few days ago, my uncle came to me for a while. I had already made a ticket with him. I wanted to hold a three-day banquet. I invited several opera troupes to sing for three days, invited the cinema to play three-day movies, and invited reporters to be on TV. I have already said hello to the people in the county. There is no need to spend money. This is a day in this six-day class itself. It's big news, they can't wait! I have made a preliminary budget in the past two days, and I will get at least 300,000 yuan for all of them! In addition, since we are going to be on TV, newspapers, and someone from the top will come to congratulate us, we have to clean up the village, and the ancestral hall of the temple should also be repaired. We can't be on TV. The temple is shabby and dangling in the TV, and everyone feels uncomfortable watching it, right? So this also requires a sum of money, and the two items add up to at least 400,000 yuan!"

What a mother! After listening to Zhao Yue, the uncles and brothers kept scolding. How could they get so much money? Originally, everyone just listened to Zhao Yue's words like chicken blood, and their blood was boiling. Now Zhao Yue's words are like a basin of cold water splashing on their heads, making them play several clever people all over.

"Isn't it too expensive? If this matter is done, we will all go bankrupt!" My cousin Zhao Benzhang said distressedly.

As soon as he said this, several cousins agreed at the moment. Of course, it's okay to do things, but you can't pretend to be fat, so that everyone will be hungry in the future, right? There are still several mouths to eat and drink at home!

"What's the noise? What are you quarreling about? With so many of us, each family only needs to pay a few thousand! This won't make you go bankrupt! It's so serious that you're bankrupt. I think you just don't want to pay! Didn't Yuezi say it just now? If you have more money, you can pay more. If you have less money, you can pay less. If you don't have money, you can work hard, run errands, and help! Letting you pay some money is like cutting your flesh!" Zhao Wenliang stood up and shouted.

"How many thousands? Brother Wenliang, you don't feel pain when you stand and talk. You have made a lot of money over the years. Of course, you don't care about these thousands of yuan. How much can I earn in a year? A few thousand yuan is enough for me to work for more than half a year!" My cousin Zhao Laishui said in a gloomy tone.

Casher Zhao Shun said, "That's right! I worked hard to earn more than 10,000 yuan a year. You asked me to take out thousands of yuan at once, so how many mouthfuls of my family went to drink the northwest wind?

This is still what several men said. Considering that they didn't speak too harshly in this scene, the women had no scruples. They all said that three women had a play, and dozens of women could sit in this hall. It's okay to quarrel, and the sound was more chaotic than the vegetable market.

"Enough!" When Zhao Yue saw that the scene was uncontrollable, he immediately stood up and stopped. Everyone was shocked by his voice and his ears were numb. He immediately calmed down. Zhao Yue looked left and right before saying, "What kind of style is noisy? People who know it think that we are discussing things, but they don't know that we are spliting the family property! This is not a vegetable market! What Brother Wenliang just said is not to let everyone share the money equally. I have made it very clear that those who have money pay, and those who have no money contribute. It is your own intention to have more money and less money. No one will gossip! All the things we want to call everyone to discuss is that you are all part of the Zhao family and don't treat everyone as outsiders. If we put one of them aside to talk about this matter, will this person feel comfortable? He didn't think we didn't regard him as the Zhao family!"

After Zhao Yue finished speaking, Zhao Wenliang stood up again and said, "Yue Zi is right. I don't want everyone to share the money equally. Several brothers have misunderstood me!"

Zhao Yue didn't wait for others to speak. He said, "It's everyone's business how much money everyone is willing to pay. Others can't control it. Each family has its own difficulties. This is also a matter of no way. In order to take care of the face of some brothers, I thought of a way. I prepared a box, and everyone used red envelopes for the money. Seal it, don't write your name on it, and come back tomorrow night to put the money into the box, so that no one will know how much money will be paid!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to several elders sitting in the upper table, "Several uncles, what do you think of this method?"

Zhao Shizhu nodded and praised, "I think Yuezi's method is good, I think it's okay!" What do you think?

Several other elders also nodded and agreed. One of their cousins asked, "If you can't collect so much money, what about the gap?"

Zhao Yue said, "If it is not enough, I will fill all the gaps!" But I want to say that rich brothers can't be like other brothers who don't have money. If you have money, you can take more. If you let me know that there is such a stingy and stingy person, I will scold my mother! Let me see how you will meet people in the future!"

An elder nodded and said, "That's good, that's good! Those who can work hard!"

"Does everyone agree?" Seeing that several elders agreed, Zhao Yue turned around and asked his brothers below. In fact, he also had an idea to think of such a way. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do about this matter. It was very likely that he would not be able to do it, and his birthday could not be done.
