Chapter 48 (1/2)

Huang Xuan's learning of Greek had been progressing speedily in the past few days. He wanted to study Portuguese for a couple of hours to refresh his brain but was unexpectedly praised by his tutor.

Huang Qunsheng was pleased too. It proved that his extensive education method was effective, so he should deepen it and spend more time in the lab not educating his son.

Zhang Xinyi seemed even busier. Huang Xuan wanted to help, but his mother wouldn't let him and just told him to put more efforts into his study.

Although the base was able to manufacture now, it consumed an unprecedented amount of energy. The most unbearable part was that to produce one object, it had to manufacture the equipment needed first, and then more equipment to manufacture the equipment needed to make the equipment, and so on. Thinking about this, Huang Xuan couldn't help wondering, ”Am I fooled by Rolin again?”

”Huang Xuan?” Li Qing ran up the stairs and knocked. ”There is a phone call for you from a Mr. Yu Liye.”

”Yu Liye?” Huang Xuan remembered that he was the president of the board of Shanghai Xinye Company. He opened the door and took the phone.

”h.e.l.lo, Mr. Yu. How are you?”

”I'm fine. Thank you. Are you having a good time in Brazil?”

”It's OK. I have adapted to it.” Huang Xuan walked in the bedroom.

Yu Liye laughed and then said, ”I have called to report to you the plans our company has made recently.”

”You are too courteous. You should have had your secretary make the phone call. You don't have to do it yourself.”

Yu Liye finally came to the point after a few more polite remarks. ”Our company has decided to engage in database business and has made a deal with Shenzhen Guanyuan Company on the purchase price, which is ¥8.3 million. They mainly deal in—”

”Mr. Yu, I have confidence in you. You know, I am young and don't have as rich experience as the other shareholders…” Huang Xuan couldn't help interrupting him. As stipulated in the agreements that had been reached before, Huang Xuan wasn't ent.i.tled to express his opinions on day-to-day affairs. He was even allowed to take part in such a huge matter as purchasing another company only when he was attending or had been authorized to attend the board meeting. Yu Liye's phone call was just a notice.

Seeing Huang Xuan was really not interested in the business of the company, Yu Liye changed the subject. ”I've heard that you have been taking care of your a.s.sets in person. Is it true?”

Huang Xuan thought he was talking about the a.s.sets he had just received in Brazil and responded, ”Presently, the guardians are still my parents.”

”I meant your individual property like the investment in the Xinye Company.”
