Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were sitting together, drinking tea and chatting.
"Mr. Li, I heard that your Li family established a colony in the Middle East. How is the situation now?"
Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang and sympathized with him. After giving birth to several sons, they all died young and he didn't even leave a grandson. He was actually about the same.
He had three sons. As a result, the eldest son and the second son both died early, and the third son was ineffective. He had two grandsons, the eldest grandson died early, and there were only two great-grandsons. It can be said that the population is thin.
Liu Jian also heard some gossip, saying that because Liu Jian himself was too old and in good health, he deprived his descendants of the blessings, so too many of his sons and grandsons died early.
This is one of the reasons why Liu Jian wants to retire, so he believes in this kind of thing very much. Think about it that he is already 80 years old and his health is better than that of Li Dongyang, who is 60 years old.

The world is so big, but Li Zhaofan has chosen this small corner of the Middle East. It is a desert place with nothing. Now he can only earn some pearls to sell, and he can barely survive by doing slave business.
"For this kind of thing, you still need to ask Liu Jin for advice. He is an expert in this field."
When Liu Jian heard this, he thought about it and said.
Li Dongyang¡¯s stepson is capable and ambitious enough to go overseas to establish colonies, and he will have some family business to pass on in the future.
Although it is said that it can only sell pearls and the like, it is still a colony. Now the two river basins are in chaos. In the colony of the Li family, various businesses are now booming.
