Chapter 461: Chapter 449 Medical Machinery Business Chapter 461: Chapter 449 Medical Machinery Business After lunch, Shi Xinyu left, taking a basket of roses with her. When she got home, she called her third brother.

Her third brother was perplexed and asked, “Hong Kong also has medical equipment for sale, why go all the way to Star City to buy it?”

Shi Xinyu replied, “That must be because they want to give you business as a favor to me. Big Brother, Jiaxin is a good friend of mine. When her elder brother comes to you, you have to give him the best deal!”

Her third brother agreed.

At the same time, Lu Jiaxin also made a phone call to Su Heyuan, saying she had something to discuss with him and that it was too complex to explain over the phone, hoping he could visit her home after work.

Su Heyuan happened to be free and came straight over.

Lu Jiaxin told him about Gu Wenfeng’s request, “Two million won’t buy many pieces of equipment, so I told him I would buy a set and donate it to the military unit he once served in.”

Su Heyuan asked, “Do you know how much a full set of medical equipment costs?”

“I don’t know, it must be several million, probably even more.”

Su Heyuan, aware of her generosity, said with a smile, “If you buy the most advanced medical devices, even if you donate them to his former unit, there might be no one there who knows how to use them.”

“If they can’t use it, they can send someone to learn at Capital Hospital!”

Glancing at her, Su Heyuan chuckled, “The advanced equipment you want to buy might not even be available in Capital Hospital. It would be like Monk Tang’s flesh; everyone would want a taste! Even researchers would want to take it apart to see how it works.”

After a brief silence, Lu Jiaxin said, “Then I’ll donate three sets; one for their research, one for Capital Hospital, and one for Brother Feng’s former military unit.”

Raising his thumb, Su Heyuan praised her grandiosity, “If my uncle hears about this, he surely won’t be able to sleep for joy.”

What is most needed domestically now is foreign exchange. Lu Jiaxin purchasing three sets of medical equipment equates to saving several million in foreign exchange.

Shaking her head, Lu Jiaxin said, “I’m out of money now, I won’t be able to buy them until the end of the year, so don’t tell them this for now.”

“Where is your money?”

Lu Jiaxin spoke vaguely, “It’s all invested in the Nikkei Index 225; it’s been rising continuously. I’m planning to close the positions at the end of the year.”

Since Su Heyuan also made money from foreign exchange and had bought stocks, he knew that the Nikkei Index had been rising. He had also invested, but not much since his funds were tied up in real estate.

Lu Jiaxin said to him, “Big Brother Su, I would like you to handle the purchase of these devices, or find someone you trust to take care of it.”

Su Heyuan didn’t understand why she wanted to do this. Previously with the donations, she had asked him to handle it on her behalf, and now it was the same with buying medical equipment.

Lu Jiaxin explained the incident from before, “I just want to contribute without being seen as an easy mark; every time I return to the Mainland, they come to me for donations.”

Su Heyuan skeptically asked, “Is that the only reason?”

Actually, that was just one reason. There were deeper reasons she was not mentioning, reasons not convenient to share with Su Heyuan.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Big Brother Su, you should know I hate trouble. I am willing to help, but I don’t want to attract attention.”

Su Heyuan felt there must be other reasons but couldn’t figure them out for the moment, “Okay, if you need it, I’ll buy it at that time.”

Lu Jiaxin said to him, “Big Brother Su, Shi Xinyu’s third brother is in the medical device business. Moreover, from what I’ve heard, his third brother’s uncle’s father-in-law is a senior executive at Siemens Medical. I’ve already spoken to Shi Xinyu, hoping she can introduce you to her third brother.”

Understanding dawned on Su Heyuan, “You want me to get into the medical device business?”

Lu Jiaxin said, “I’m not asking you to enter the medical device business, but if there’s someone on the Mainland doing it, they can make connections. If you can’t afford the most advanced equipment, buying their second-hand ones is also an option. It’s easy to get ripped off by insidious people offering inferior goods as if they were fine, especially domestically–that’s been countless over the past few years. Having Shi Xinyu’s connection, at the very least, they won’t scam us.”

Su Heyuan said, “Not necessarily, many people have a dark heart when it comes to making money.”

Lu Jiaxin laughed lightly, “But it’s me who asked Xinyu to help introduce you. If he scams you, it would not only make Xinyu lose face but also tarnish the reputation of the Shi Family in Hong Kong.”

Seeing him look at her, Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “I’ve been laying low these past two years, that’s why I’ve turned down all those invitations by saying I have to study. Next year, when I turn twenty, I’ll have to start attending these events.”

In fact, she had already started socializing this year, with Zong Shimeng, Yu Meitong, and Shi Xinyu, for instance. But this was small-scale. Next year, she would start to make appearances more publicly.

Hearing this, Su Heyuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Then Nie Zhan is going to be under a lot of pressure.”

With Jiaxin being smart, beautiful, and a billionaire to boot, she would certainly have many suitors. In Hong Kong, where money is everything, everyone wants to make a fortune and push their way into high society. It doesn’t matter how you make your money or how you’ve broken into high society, as long as you’re successful, people will envy and flatter you. That’s why being a homewrecker or a mistress doesn’t seem like a big deal to most people.

Jiaxin clearly understood his implication, “The greater the pressure, the more he’ll cherish what he has. But don’t worry about me; you should hurry up and take care of your own personal issues instead. If you keep dragging your feet, your dad is going to disown you.”

Although that last remark was a joke, it was true that Su Qingwen was really fed up. With two sons, one thirty and the other twenty-seven, both unmarried and with no grandchildren in sight.

Upon hearing this, Su Heyuan immediately said, “A couple of days ago, I invited some friends to dine at Good Fortune Here and ran into people from the Hu Family there too. There was a very young girl next to Madam Hu; I inquired and was told she is Hu Zhifeng’s sister.”

Lu Jiaxin, being on good terms with Zong Shimeng, naturally knew about her family members, “Zhifeng only has his youngest sister, Hu Huihui, who isn’t married. This girl is twenty-four this year and just graduated from university; she’s now working in her family’s company.”

After saying this, she sized up Su Heyuan, “You’re thirty this year, so there is no problem with your age, but a family like the Hus may not think highly of you.”

“Let’s try; it might just work out!” Su Heyuan said. With his name on real estate and household appliance companies, worth over three hundred million, he felt he shouldn’t fall short.

He had finally taken a fancy to a girl and opened up about it, and Jiaxin didn’t refuse, “I’ll first inquire with the Elder Madam of the Hu Family to see if she has a boyfriend.”

“I’ve checked; she doesn’t have a boyfriend.”

Seeing his eagerness, Jiaxin smiled and said, “Still, I have to communicate with Grandma Hu first. If she and Zhifeng agree, then we can arrange a time to go out together.”

She would create an opportunity for them to meet, and whether he could win her over was up to his skill.

Su Heyuan let out a sigh of relief and said, “I thought you wouldn’t agree, thinking this way of meeting is very old-fashioned.”

Jiaxin teased, “Normally, I wouldn’t agree. But given our relationship, I don’t feel good refusing you. Besides, even though you’re a bit older, you’re decent and have a good reputation, so you’re presentable.”

Su Heyuan thought to himself that the last part was hardly necessary to say.
