Chapter 439: Fortune Smiles Upon Them
Chapter 439: Fortune Smiles Upon Them
Triamniotic Triplets, or 'San Rong San Yang', is a rare occurrence where three eggs are fertilized simultaneously, resulting in identical triplets.
Each child has its own amniotic sac and chorion, meaning they have separate placentas and live in their own 'rooms', not disturbing each other.
Dr. Gao Jie explained this with a smile, "So, when the triplets are born, they might look similar to ordinary siblings, or they might not. The genders of the three children might also differ. It could be two boys and a girl, or one boy and two girls, and of course, it's possible for all three to be boys or girls."
Jiang Mu smiled, "In that case, there's a high chance of having both genders, enough to form a good word, right?"
Dr. Gao Jie laughed, "There's a great chance of that."
As parents, they all wished for a complete family with both sons and daughters, and she understood this well.
Zhou Chenglei borrowed a few medical books from Dr. Gao and then the family left the hospital.
Zhou Chenglei first sent Jiang's parents home and then went to meet Zhang Rong.
Then, the couple went with him to officially sign the agreement for the five million investment.
Zhang Rong brought them to the office of He Zong, the general contractor.
After exchanging greetings and chatting for a while, He Zong had urgent matters to attend to and asked Zhou Chenglei, "Would you consider investing two hundred and fifty thousand in the Commercial Building and another two hundred and fifty thousand in our construction company? We have a shareholder who wants to transfer a portion of their shares, and it's exactly two hundred and fifty thousand."
Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei exchanged a glance.
Zhou Chenglei looked into Jiang Xia's bright eyes, then turned his gaze to He Zong and said, "Thank you, He Zong, for offering us this rare opportunity. We will follow your suggestion and invest two hundred and fifty thousand in the Commercial Building and the same amount in the construction company."
Zhang Rong expressed his envy, "This is a rare opportunity, and I regret signing my contract too early!"
He Zong hadn't expected the couple to make such a decision without any hesitation or discussion. They just looked at each other and made up their minds instantly.
He slightly regretted his offer! It was just a casual suggestion, as he had already arranged to discuss it with someone else during the New Year.
But now that the words were out, and considering Zhang Rong's relationship, he had to honor his offer.
He could only smile and say, "Trust me, after buying these shares, you'll be grateful to me!"
Jiang Xia smiled, "We are already grateful to He Zong for giving us such a wonderful opportunity."
He Zong forced a smile, knowing that they should indeed be grateful, as he had to turn down another friend. If Zhang Rong hadn't been there, he would have found an excuse to decline their offer, but Zhang Rong's influence was greater than the other friend's, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
So, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei invested two hundred and fifty thousand in the construction of the Commercial Building and the same amount in the construction company that He Zong represented.
This was even better, as they would receive dividends from both sides, and the construction company's dividends would undoubtedly be higher.
This construction company would become quite famous in the future, undertaking the construction of numerous major projects.
In an era of rapid economic development, with cities undergoing massive construction, the future of a company capable of building commercial buildings was beyond doubt.
Jiang Xia was delighted that she had inadvertently become a minor shareholder in a future listed company.
Zhou Chenglei carefully read through both contracts word by word, ensuring there were no issues, and then handed them to Jiang Xia for her signature.
On their way back, Zhang Rong expressed his admiration to the couple, "I think you two are truly blessed with good fortune!"
They were supposed to invest the entire five million in the Commercial Building, but upon arrival, they learned that a major shareholder of the construction company urgently needed to transfer a portion of their shares, and it happened to be exactly two hundred and fifty thousand.
They had stumbled upon a golden opportunity!
No, it was more like picking up a hen that laid golden eggs.
Most people wouldn't even dare to consider such an offer without careful thought.
If they had asked for time to consider, this opportunity would have slipped through their fingers.
But the couple was bold enough to seize it.
Upon hearing the offer, they exchanged a glance and agreed without hesitation.
And so, this stroke of good fortune fell upon them.
Zhang Rong had already signed a contract with his investment, and the remaining funds were used to buy stocks. He wanted to seize the opportunity, but he was short on cash.
All he could do was admire from afar!
Jiang Xia laughed, "I told you, a good pregnancy brings good luck! I'm carrying triplets, so my luck is doubled and doubled again."
Zhang Rong chuckled, "Then it's truly double the luck and more..."
Zhang Rong shared his experience of selling sandalwood in Hong Kong.
When he arrived in Hong Kong, he inquired about the market for sandalwood. His friend then informed him that a wealthy businessman was urgently seeking high-quality century-old water sandalwood, and it had to be at least a hundred years old.
His friend then used his connections to reach out to the wealthy businessman.
The businessman arrived with experts to appraise the sandalwood.
After two days of examination, they concluded that the sandalwood was indeed over a hundred years old, a rare and exceptional water sandalwood of superior quality, perfectly meeting the businessman's requirements.
It seemed to exceed the businessman's expectations, as he offered thirty thousand.
This offer shocked both Zhang Rong and his friend.
They had expected a price around twenty thousand, but the offer was thirty thousand.

Zhang Rong wanted to inform the buyer that the sandalwood was retrieved from the sea and soaked in seawater, as it was a difficult fact to conceal.
He began, "This sandalwood is from the sea..."
Before he could finish, the buyer, assuming he was unhappy with the price, interrupted, saying that he knew it was imported from overseas and that he needed it urgently. The buyer added two thousand more, claiming it was his highest offer.
Seeing the buyer's reaction, Zhang Rong felt that this sandalwood must be extraordinary.
It was likely older than a century, or its quality was beyond imagination, given that the experts had examined it for two days.
He waved his hand dismissively and firmly said, "No, two thousand is too little. I won't sell! This sandalwood is not just a hundred years old..."
The buyer, appearing anxious and pressed for time, added another five thousand, saying he'd leave if they didn't sell.
Of course, Zhang Rong continued to test the buyer's resolve, refusing to sell.
The buyer made a show of leaving, but Zhang Rong remained calm.
Finally, the offer reached fifty thousand, and the buyer truly seemed unwilling to increase it any further. Zhang Rong nodded and agreed, saying, "OK."
He then informed the buyer that the sandalwood was retrieved from the sea but hadn't been soaked for long, and they had quickly retrieved it.
The buyer tried to negotiate a lower price, but Zhang Rong refused, insisting on the full amount with no compromise.
The sandalwood was undoubtedly genuine, as the experts had examined it for two days and would have noticed any issues.
In the end, the buyer purchased it.
As for the jade, although Jiang Xia took a fully green jade bracelet, the remaining two bracelets were also of collectible quality. One fully green bracelet, a fully green necklace, a pendant, a pair of earrings, and a ring—each piece glowing with vibrant green, all collectible jewelry. Zhang Rong auctioned the entire set, specifically targeting top-tier wealthy bidders.
As expected, the entire set fetched two million.
He had thought the partially green bracelet wouldn't fetch a high price, but two wealthy businessmen's wives took a liking to it. The two women seemed to have a rivalry, relentlessly driving up the price, resulting in an astonishing bid of nine hundred thousand, far beyond Zhang Rong's expectations.
After deducting processing costs, commissions, taxes, and other expenses, Jiang Xia received over two hundred and fifty thousand.
In short, Jiang Xia now had some assets but little cash on hand.
She still owed the shipyard several hundred thousand.
However, Jiang Xia wasn't worried. The following year, she planned to liquidate some stocks to cover the remaining payment.
Perhaps there would be no need to liquidate; if Zhou Chenglei attended the Guangzhou Fair in the spring, he might earn the remaining payment.
