A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 216

"Tang Yuan, don't you want your third aunt to be your mother?"

Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise as she looked at her son who had such a big reaction.

Li Xinggan smiled and said: "No, I think so."

Li Si betrayed his brother: "My brother said before that my third aunt is more like my mother than my mother."

"You bullshit!"

Seeing his mother looking at him with an unkind look, Li Xing hurriedly denied it, and then said with a smile: "Mom, I'm so happy! From now on, my third aunt and our family will be a real family!"

Lou Xiao'e said sourly: "Of course you are happy. Since we were little, we have been closer to my third aunt than to me."

Li Si made his position clear: "I am closest to my mother!"

Li Xing scolded: "My younger brother knows how to push his feet!"

In northern dialect, it means flattering.

Li Si made a face, then turned to Lou Xiu and said, "Mommy, can you send me to school today?"

Lou Xiu was angry: "Don't scream!"

Lou Xiao'e said thoughtfully: "It's okay."

She has a big heart and doesn't care about this at all.

In fact, the three wives and four concubines in Hong Kong Island are still different from the feudal days in the Mainland. The houses are almost flush, and there is no saying who is taller and who is shorter.

What's more, she already has two sons, especially the eldest son Li Xing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Yuan loves Li Xing even more than Li Si.

The love between father and son is so deep that even the mother-in-law, Lou Xiaoe, is sometimes jealous.

Having a child is enough for everything, no matter how big or small, she doesn't care.

After Li Yuan comes, he will definitely continue to teach Li Xing martial arts and pass on medical skills to Li Xing. The rest will be trivial.

In Lou Xiao'e's view, father's love plus these two things are the most precious wealth of the Li family.

Lou Xiu glanced at her sister and felt grateful in her heart.

How many women in this world can do this?

"Ouch, why did you eat them all?"

When Liu Qin arrived, she smelled a refreshing fragrance as soon as she entered the door. Her appetite was whetted without even realizing it. She was so hungry that she quickened her steps to see what was being eaten here.

She also figured it out on the way here. After all, most of the Lou family's property is in the name of their eldest family, and they have already made real profits. If they worry about everything and don't act like the boss, no wonder the old man will get angry.

From now on, I might as well just be a good sister-in-law, at least in terms of face.

Li Yuan, Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Xiu all stood up to greet him. This is a personal accomplishment, and you respect yourself.

Li Xing and Li Si also politely said good morning. Liu Qin smiled and waved her hands. When she came to the table, she saw that everyone's bowls were just clear soup pork noodles. She asked strangely: "Why is it so fragrant? There is no barbecued pork or duck leg. It’s not lard either…”

Lou Xiao'e said to Li Yuan: "My sister-in-law is a good cook. She has been setting up the kitchen at home for the past few years."

Li Yuan said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for taking care of it. I'll serve you a bowl of noodles."

Liu Qin has the shrewdness, calculation, and talkative qualities of a typical middle-class Hong Kong woman. When she was young, she might have been better, delicate and cute. But when she gets older, she will become what her mother was back then.

It's not good or bad, but it's true that it's not lovable.

Liu Qin really wanted to eat it, but after thinking about it she said, "Forget it, your elder brother asked me to invite you over for morning tea, but I didn't expect you had already eaten."

Li Yuan said in surprise: "Didn't we agree yesterday that we would stay here from now on? There are already a lot of people over there, and we can't squeeze in."

"..."

Liu Qin has also seen the character of her sister-in-law who refuses to suffer. Not only did she say something yesterday, but she still remembers it now.

Lou Xiao'e snickered, Liu Qin should get to know Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang to know what kind of hero his men are!
……

After eating, Li Yuan, Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Xiu took their two children to No. 25 Gubai Road below.

Along the way, Lou Xiu remained silent, her pretty face always blushing.

Lou Xiao'e sighed in her heart, it's over, I'm afraid I'm too lazy today, so I have to drive to send the child to kindergarten.

When we arrived at Lou's house, we found that the atmosphere was obviously not right.

Especially Lou Zhentao and Lou Ying, they stood up from the sofa subconsciously...

Lou Xiao'e was startled and said inexplicably: "Dad, what's wrong?"

Lou Zhentao smiled and said: "Nothing, just asking Yuanzi what are you going to do today? If nothing happens, why don't you go to the beach with me, an old man?"

Lou Ying smiled and said: "Dad, Yuanzi must have a lot of big things to do. How can I have time to accompany you to Hung Hom to watch other people fishing?"

Li Yuan said, "You can go, I have nothing urgent to do for the time being. Dad, are you going fishing too?"

Lou Zhentao laughed with satisfaction and said, "I'll forget it. I'll just watch other people fishing and chat with some old folks from Hong Kong."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "This is interesting, then I will go too. Chatting with the old people can help me understand Hong Kong Island better."

Lou Ying was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Li Yuan and had nothing to say.

Lou Xiao'e said unhappily: "Aren't you going to work at Longhu Hall with me?"

She actually wanted to ask if Li Yuan wanted to find Nie Yu...

If we see this, why don’t the thunder from the sky stir up the fire on the earth?

One of the biggest reasons for accepting Lou Xiu is to guard against him.

Anyway, she and Nie Yu couldn't urinate in the same pot. It was okay to be friends on the surface, but they would be half-dead if they lived together.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I'll go out with dad for a walk first to get familiar with the environment. Then we'll look back and see where it's suitable to buy a piece of land."

Lou family: "..."

Lou Jun swallowed and asked seriously: "Buying land... What are you buying land for? Do you want to do real estate?"

Lou Ying shook her head repeatedly and said: "The last thing you should not touch these days is real estate. The world in Hong Kong has not been peaceful in the past two years. Many rich people have fled. Especially last year, the turmoil in the north affected us. The stock market, land, Property prices have all collapsed, and now whoever touches it will die."

Li Yuan looked at Lou Ying with some pity. Of course, he couldn't be blamed. Except for Li Huanggua, most of the elites in Hong Kong were selling off their properties and real estate and running away.

When the Prime Minister made a public statement at the end of this year, maintaining the positioning of Hong Kong Island unchanged and not seeking any riots in Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Island suddenly became calm. When those who left wanted to go back and buy back the houses they had sold before, they found that even half the area was Can't buy it anymore.

Lou Ying does not have advanced information knowledge. It is understandable that the real estate industry has been destroyed, but it is destined to be difficult to make a fortune.

Li Yuan didn't spend any energy to persuade him to change his mind. He was not his father...

After shaking his head, Li Yuan said: "I'm going to buy a piece of land and build a medicine factory. Now the medicines in Longhutang are all made in the tenement building, and the place is too small. I also have some prescriptions, but the place is too small to use them."

As for real estate, it's not impossible to do it, but Li Yuan doesn't want to do it.

To him, this thing is less technical than the stock market.

Because he knows how abnormal the housing prices in Hong Kong Island will be in the future, as long as he takes advantage of the low prices to absorb land and houses whenever there is turmoil in the stock and property markets in Hong Kong Island, he will be able to make a lot of money just by renting them out, not to mention the appreciation in value. Gained.

The stock market is a little more complicated. In his previous life, it was just because an old director in the department lost his wife and children while trading in the stock market. He didn't understand why it was so miserable. He searched the Internet several times for the stock market crash before he had some impressions.

I don’t remember much, but I know that the Hong Kong stock market crash in 90.00 was the worst stock market crash in history, with a loss of more than [-]%.

Another one is August [-]th and September [-]th. I can’t remember the specific dates, but they were miserable anyway.

The reason why I can remember it is thanks to Li Huagua.

When Li Yuan was a child in his previous life, he knew that he had a family member. At that time, Li Huagua's reputation was not yet bad, and he had a reputation as a superman.

After the Internet information developed, Li Yuan even searched for this person's family history.

The results were astonishing.

Although Li Huanggua was considered a rich man in the 60s, he was still more than one level behind the four established families.

But in [-], he took a dip and took off, leaving a group of wealthy families behind.

Immediately after Changshi went public in 65, the shares were oversubscribed [-] times. Miraculously, his net worth skyrocketed again. Then in [-], there was a major stock market crash.

After this wave of harvest is completed, the Li family will become a first-line family in Hong Kong Island.

When there were two stock market crashes in [-] and [-], Lao Li successfully raised funds on a large scale before the stock market crash... There should be no other person who can cut leeks like this.

At this point, no family in the entire Hong Kong Island can be ranked ahead of him and has become a world-class rich man.To say that this old cucumber is not cheating is really unjustifiable.

If he just wanted to make money, Li Yuan didn't have to use his brain. Following this trajectory and drinking some soup and water behind Li Huagua would be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

But what's the point?

I'm sorry for his hard work and progress over the years.

Real estate, stock market, etc., if Lou Xiao'e is willing, you can give her guidance. These industries are not shallow. Even if you know the trajectory, you still need to invest time and energy to do it. Li Yuan is not willing to spend his life in this kind of known speculation business. Go in.

But for people like Lou Xiaoe who love business, these are very good industries.

Of course, drugs can be considered a known form of speculation, but when pharmaceutical companies really start to do it, they will definitely not produce only one kind of Viagra.

When he was a doctor in his previous life, Li Yuan always had a regret, that is, the efficacy of domestically produced medicines was never as good as imported medicines.

Although in the 21st century, especially after the first decade, the quality of domestically produced drugs has continued to improve and the gap in efficacy has become smaller and smaller, there is still a gap that seems difficult to bridge.

For example, APIs have different crystal forms, different purity, solubility and stability.

To give the simplest example, domestically produced cephalosporins often require skin tests because the impurity content cannot be strictly controlled. However, for drugs with good manufacturing techniques, skin tests are not required.

This is also true for some vaccines and drugs, such as statins.

It's not that Li Yuan is so great and wants to do some earth-shattering good deeds that benefit the country and the people, and become a great good man and great saint.

only……

He feels that if he can make good-looking medicine, he can make money while also benefiting the most ordinary people, it should be regarded as a realization of self-worth.

Apart from pure making money, life is not wasted.

The high-ranking officials don't need the pure medicines because they have their own special supply, but the ordinary people do.

This may be because Li Yuan always feels that he is still an ordinary citizen deep down.

Doing something like this makes you feel more at ease.

Therefore, although making medicine, doing real estate, and stock trading are also known speculations, Li Yuan still chose to do the former.

I will definitely have money to spend in this life, beauties... and there are two people who know each other well, Lou Xiao'e and Lou Xiu.

When he comes to Hong Kong Island, the dignitaries can't bully him, and the gangs will let them die if they want. He is safe and worry-free, so what else do he pursue?

It doesn't make much sense unless you become the richest man in the world, at least not what Li Yuan wants.

He just wants to do something he likes and wants to do, live a leisurely life, go to the waterless place, sit and watch the clouds rise, that's enough.

Of course, there is no need to explain these words to Lou Ying and others.

Li Xing took the school bus with his two cousins, while Lou Xiaoe and Lou Xiu went to work at Longhu Hall together.

Li Yuan and Lou Zhentao sent Li Si and Lou Shuzhen to Victoria International Kindergarten in Causeway Bay, and then crossed the sea together to Hung Hom to watch people fishing.

……

"Lou, you're here again!"

At Hung Hom Pier, a foreigner with a sharp nose greeted Lou Zhentao and Li Yuan warmly after seeing them arriving.

Lou Zhentao smiled and said: "Luo Lan, how is your harvest today?" By the way, he introduced Li Yuan: "This is old Luo Lan. He came to China a long time ago. He had been in the mainland before and later moved to Hong Kong Island. He speaks very good Mandarin. Okay." Then he said to the foreigner: "Roland, this is my son-in-law, you can just call him Xiao Li."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Li Aiguo."

Old Roland shook hands with him and exclaimed: "Wow! Xiao Li, you are the most handsome Chinese I have ever seen."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "That must be because you have met too few people."

"NoNoNoNo..."

Old Roland denied it repeatedly: "I have been to most cities in the mainland, definitely more than you have been to. When anyone asks me where my hometown is, I will tell them that my hometown is China."

Li Yuan smiled politely and said: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, I made a mistake."

Old Roland shrugged and said, "You look like you just came from the mainland not long ago..." Then he said mysteriously, "Xiao Li, if I just say a word, you will fall in love with me immediately. Do you believe it or not?"

Li Yuanqi said: "Oh? What are you talking about?"

Old Roland smiled slyly and said: "This is a bet, there must be a stake."

Li Yuan looked at him and said with a smile: "Okay, if you can do it, then I promise to give you benefits that satisfy you."

Old Roland narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously not expecting Li Yuan to say this. Although he felt that this young man from the mainland was a bit too arrogant, it was just a chance encounter, and it was more interesting to meet all kinds of people in life. He smiled and said: "Okay . Li, do you know that when the Japanese invaded Hong Kong Island during World War II, I blew up the power generation unit of Chunghwa Electric Power Co., Ltd. with my own hands. I hate the Japanese devils! How about it, Li, are we comrades now?!"

Looking at old Roland with a funny smile on his face, Li Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Yes, yes, we are comrades! You are more heroic and amazing than me... are you really or not?"

"Ooh~~"

Old Roland spread out the hand that was not holding the fishing rod and said seriously: "Of course it's true! This is the most glorious moment in my life, Li, you shouldn't doubt it."

Li Yuan cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, but I really didn't expect that a foreigner would have such a legendary anti-Japanese experience."

Old Roland laughed and continued fishing.

As for what Li Yuan said just now, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Roland, your heart is not very good, right? You can't tolerate nitroglycerin tablets, and you have suffered a lot, right?"

Old Roland's simple and low-key aura disappeared instantly. He turned around, stared at Li Yuan with a pair of eyes like an eagle's eyes, and asked seriously: "Li, who are you?"

Li Yuan flicked the dust on his clothes, then smiled and said: "Since you are familiar with China, you should also be familiar with Chinese medicine. I am a member of the eight major schools of Chinese medicine and the contemporary successor of the Zhao family of typhoid fever. The erythema on your face, the medical diagnosis , is a typical symptom of heart disease that is difficult to tolerate after taking nitroglycerin tablets. But I can see that it is not a brilliant skill, and many doctors can see it. So Roland, you don’t need to be nervous."

Old Roland's expression softened, and he looked at Li Yuan and said, "Chinese medicine? Of course I know about Chinese medicine, and I have seen a lot of Chinese medicine over the years. But with all due respect, although Chinese medicine is amazing, at least it doesn't help much with my disease. The doctor of traditional Chinese medicine said that it takes a long time to drink the traditional Chinese medicine soup to have an effect. But when my heart hurts, drinking traditional Chinese medicine has no effect."

Lou Zhentao smiled and said: "Old Luolan, congratulations on meeting my son-in-law. He has special skills in this area. As far as I know, he has taken care of this problem for a woman."

Old Roland shook his head and smiled: "It's not that I don't believe it, but if he really has such ability, Li can even win a Nobel. Moreover, he will not be unknown in the mainland. You have a great general who suffered from this disease a few years ago. He died, didn’t he?”

Lou Zhentao said: "Old Luolan, so you are lucky. My son-in-law is a very ordinary citizen and only likes to treat ordinary people. He believes that people with power and wealth already have a lot of medical resources. He does not have If necessary, he would treat them again. Therefore, for many years, he has insisted on only treating ordinary people without charging money."

"Wow!"

After hearing this, Old Roland simply found a place to put the fishing rod, stood up, walked over, shook hands with Li Yuan and said, "I didn't expect, Li, that you are such a noble person. I'm starting to believe it now, In Chinese terms, you are a strange person hidden among the common people, right?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Old Roland, you are really a master of China. But I can't say that you are a strange person. You just learned some medical skills."

Old Roland said: "Li, do you want to take my pulse? Just now you said you would give me a satisfactory benefit after the bet, and that's it, right?"

Li Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "To blow up the power plant and deny it to little Japan."

Old Roland said: "Yes, what a stupid little Japan, my mother Xipi, my mother sells batches!"

"puff!"

Lou Zhentao was stunned with laughter, and burst into tears as he laughed.

Li Yuan also laughed loudly, gave the foreigner a thumbs up, and said: "Old Luolan, you have indeed been to many places in China, amazing, amazing!"

After a while of excitement, Li Yuan asked Old Roland to sit on the rock and felt his pulse. In less than 3 minutes, he stopped his hand and said with a smile: "The pulse is thin, stringy, smooth and heavy, which is a typical pulse condition for heart disease. Roland, if If you trust me, you can come to me at the Dragon Tiger Hall in West Prince Edward Road tomorrow morning, and I can prescribe a medicine for you. It does not need to be boiled into a soup, just like nitroglycerin tablets, it can be taken sublingually. The medicinal effect It’s similar, but it doesn’t have the side effects of nitroglycerin tablets. I hope it can help you and relieve the pain of heart disease.”

After saying that, Li Yuan and Lou Zhentao said goodbye and left.

After the two figures disappeared from Hung Hom Pier, Old Roland waved to the side, and then people who were fishing in the surrounding area immediately ran over. Old Roland said softly: "I need the detailed information of these two people, especially the young man. , hurry up."

……

"Yuanzi, do you know that old Roland just now?"

Lou Zhentao couldn't help but ask as he walked away.

In his eyes, even if Li Yuan is not the kind of person who doesn't let the hawk know the rabbit, he is not so nosy.

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "This is the first time I've met. However, people who can blow up Japanese power plants are not ordinary people. I want to open a pharmaceutical factory and a laboratory, but I still need the help of some powerful people, especially those who need help." Purchase some overseas instruments and equipment.”

Lou Zhentao was relieved, this was the son-in-law he knew...

Li Yuan glanced at his old father-in-law and said with a smile: "However, it doesn't matter even if he can't help. Just because he blew up the power plant to prevent the Japanese from benefiting, so why should I help him?"

……

PS: It’s [-] words, and the normal update time should be resumed tomorrow!
