Chapter 613: Chicken Lays Eggs 2
This name is quite down-to-earth; at first listen, it sounds like something sold at a vegetable market.
However, the content they were chatting about sounded like a financial product.
There are too many financial products on the market now, so Shi Youxuan didn't pay much attention; she forgot about it soon after hearing it.
Upon arriving at the market, it was indeed just as her mother-in-law had said; the vegetables were all very fresh.
Although they weren't as exquisitely packaged as those in the supermarket, freshness is better than anything else, and as for the price... it didn't matter.
Soon, the small cart was piled high with various vegetables, and Shi Youxuan returned fully loaded.
On the way back, she heard the term "Chicken Lays Eggs" twice more; it wasn't just on the road, but even in the market, people were discussing it.
It seems this financial product is quite popular, but what Shi Youxuan doesn't understand is why it only attracts elderly people.
According to her professional perspective, most financial products that appear quickly and target elderly people while remaining closed to the young have problems.
After arriving home, her mother-in-law was already up and busy in the kitchen, and the porridge in the pot was bubbling and steaming.
Seeing her return, her mother-in-law smiled and came over to inspect the small cart: "Not bad, the vegetables you picked are all very good; these tomatoes are even the iron-skin variety, best for eating raw."
Her mother-in-law picked up a tomato, washed it clean, and handed it to her: "Try one you bought yourself, they are especially delicious."
Shi Youxuan took it and bit into it—"Mmm, delicious!"
She suddenly widened her eyes; the tomato was sweet and carried the taste of sunshine, looking unremarkable on the outside but bursting with juice, truly especially delicious.
"You really didn't buy a small amount; save this one for Zichen, the little guy will definitely like it." Her mother-in-law picked out the roundest and largest one to set aside, then washed a few and placed them in a large gold-rimmed bowl, telling Shi Youxuan to carry it to the coffee table in the living room.
After everyone gets up, they can eat one before the meal; it's not bad as an appetizer before the meal.
After Shi Youxuan finished delivering it and returned, she asked her mother-in-law: "Mom, why haven't I eaten such delicious tomatoes before?"
Her mother-in-law laughed: "This variety only came out in the last year or two; it didn't exist before."
"Oh."
She understood, but soon felt something was wrong: "That's not right; if it came out in the last two years, why haven't I eaten it?"
Her mother-in-law laughed even more heartily: "You child are usually quite smart, but when you get silly, you're sillier than anyone; how could you not have eaten it? The family has bought them before, but this time you bought them yourself, and they were just picked, so that's why the taste feels different."
She thought about it, and it seemed that was indeed the case.
"Huh, you received an advertisement too?"
Wang Yinghao took a flyer out of the small cart; coincidentally, it was exactly an advertisement for "Chicken Lays Eggs".
When was it put into her cart?
She hadn't noticed.
Shi Youxuan: "I don't know when it was put in. By the way, Mom, have you heard of this product? I heard 'Chicken Lays Eggs' all the way here; at first, I thought it was an agricultural product, but later I found out it was actually a financial product. I wonder who came up with the name?"
Wang Yinghao: "I know."
Shi Youxuan:...
She had originally just asked casually, not expecting her mother-in-law, who rarely goes out, to actually know.
Wang Yinghao had a smile on her face, mysterious and a bit proud.
Shi Youxuan waited for a good while, but she only said she knew and then stopped talking.
"Tell me, why did you stop?"
"I just won't tell you, let you die of impatience." Her mother-in-law was being playful for once.
The porridge was ready.
Her mother-in-law carried the pot, and Shi Youxuan followed behind carrying the bowls, chattering as she walked: "Mom, tell me, please tell me, I'm already dying of impatience..." Actually, she wasn't that impatient, but she was doing it to go along with her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law joked and played around; it was more interesting than being serious.
"I'll consider it."
"You can't be like this; how can you only say half a sentence? Hurry up and tell me, I beg you."
"Then do you promise to go buy vegetables tomorrow too?"
"I'll go buy vegetables for the whole month!"
Wang Yinghao said with a smile: "Chicken Lays Eggs is the first product launched by your father-in-law's company, shocking, right?"
Shi Youxuan:...
It was indeed shocking.
No wonder it sounded familiar; her father-in-law had mentioned it once, but she hadn't paid attention at the time.
She could ignore products from other people's companies, but she still needed to understand the main product of Shengda.
Before she could continue asking, everyone had already gotten up and come downstairs one after another.
Everyone ate a tomato; Sheng Zichen, with his small belly, finished a large tomato and was still not satisfied: "More."
Shi Youxuan: "No."
Wang Yinghao:...
Being a mother, she was still like a child, always looking like she would never grow up.
Since she couldn't say it properly, she said to her grandson: "Baobao, we can only eat one in the morning, okay? If you eat too much, your tummy will hurt."
"Mmm."
The little guy nodded and readily agreed.
There was no other way if he didn't agree; with Mom there, there was no room for negotiation.
Breakfast was on the table.
Shi Youxuan asked about "Chicken Lays Eggs", and Sheng Jiang was quite happy: "You've heard of it too? Yes, that's right, this is the main product launched by our company; the response has been very good just after hitting the market. I plan to expand the scale, and the next step..."
He talked eloquently, as if he really considered himself a financial tycoon, and his words and demeanor revealed a sense of pointing out the direction of the country.
Sheng Hanyu was concise and to the point, interjecting: "What is the rate of return?"
Seeing that his son was also interested, Sheng Jiang said happily: "Twenty percent for small amounts, twenty-five percent for large amounts."
Shi Youxuan:...
No wonder "Chicken Lays Eggs" has been so hotly discussed and sought after in such a short time; this rate of return is just too high.
"Dad, since you are using such a high rate of return to raise funds, what do you rely on to make money?" Shi Youxuan asked.
Sheng Jiang: "I don't manage that. The specific business of the company is the responsibility of the Chairman. I am only in charge of the investment promotion department; I don't manage anything else."
"But you don't need to worry. Our Chairman is especially professional at doing this. Never mind a twenty-five percent return rate, even if it were a hundred percent return rate, he could still earn it back, though there is no need for that."
Sheng Jiang was full of confidence.
Shi Youxuan exchanged a look with her husband, and the two of them tacitly said nothing more.
Because saying anything was useless; he had already been completely brainwashed by Zhu Xingye, and no matter what that person said, he believed it.
After breakfast.
Those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to go to school went to school.
Since he was young, Sheng Jiang had been carrying birdcages and playing with birds, playing chess and fishing, living a retired life for half his life.
Now that he was old, he was actually going to work during business hours, dressed in a suit and tie, clutching a briefcase, and looking full of vigor!
Sheng Hanyu left the house first, but not long after, he returned.
"Did you leave something behind? I'll go get it for you," Wang Yinghao said.
"I didn't leave anything. I'm going to take Ranran to school with Xuanxuan in a moment, and then I'll go take a look at the school."
Wang Yinghao didn't think much of it and turned back.
The couple took Shi Ran to school, and Shi Ran was especially happy; the little girl held her mother's hand with one hand and her father's hand with the other as they walked to school, chattering away non-stop.
After dropping the child off at school, they met Lady Qi at the school gate.
Seeing the couple come together to drop off their child, she said enviously: "Mr. Sheng is also here to drop off Ranran today. You are really good to your child; my husband has never taken Qi Heng to school."
