A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 287 Four Years
In [-], the situation in China improved a lot.

As Maozi ushered in his heyday, Lao Maozi was unable to extricate himself from the quagmire of Annan, so in some aspects, Lao Maozi has even begun to surpass Lao America.

At this time, China, which had tense relations with Lao Maozi, quickly gained the favor of the West.

After Nishuimen's visit, China spent US$43 billion to introduce advanced equipment and build four major chemical fiber bases.

In addition to the emergence of "Chenliang", which solved the poverty of countless poor farmers, it also laid a solid material and technical foundation for China's chemical industry in the future.

Unfortunately, there is really no money in the treasury, otherwise this would be the best time to introduce Western technology.

But in any case, this year can be regarded as the year with the biggest change since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

This year, Nie Yu gave birth to the seventh child of the Li family, and the Li family finally welcomed a girl. Li Yuan named her Li Qing, hoping that the sky would be clear and bright throughout her life.

Everyone in the family called her Xiaoqi, but Nie Yu was not very happy. Everyone criticized her for being a bit patriarchal.

However, she did not admit it, and it was not the fault of Li Yuan's bad name, because her name was Yu and her daughter's name was Qing. They were not compatible by nature.

But it doesn't matter, the favor Li Qing enjoys makes Nie Yu jealous...

At the end of the year, Li Yuan "quietly" returned to Sijiu City.

He took the risk to deliver medicine to Li Huaide, which moved him deeply.

He lurked to Nie's house again and sent Nie Yu's photos to the old couple...

Don't mention the child, for fear that the couple will faint.

Therefore, the Nie family members were also very moved and praised Li Yuan for being so thoughtful and taking the risk to sneak back to the mainland just to send them photos...

Li Yuan stayed at Qinjiazhuang for another week before being driven away by Qin Daxue.

Qin Daxue saw her son's vigorous growth in the photo, the smile on his face and the cheerful expression when playing games with his brothers. After making her cry and laugh, she kicked Li Yuan away.

Dozens of condoms have been used up. Although they are now available for free, how can she have the nerve to get them?
Li Yuan regretted that he didn't make any more preparations. He had no choice but to leave with regret and promised to fight again next year...

……

In Hong Kong Island in early [-], the entire city was in an abnormal state of madness.

Crazy phenomena such as "shark fin rice", "abalone porridge", "mouse spots making fish eggs", "using bull (Hong Kong dollar 500 banknotes) to light cigarettes" are endless.

Five years ago, the Hang Seng Index was only 150 points. By [-], the Hang Seng Index had crossed [-] points!

However, Lou Xiao'e, who had made a lot of money in the stock market, noticed something after Li Yuan's reminder:
On January 1, Laos and the United States officially signed the "Peace Treaty" in Paris, announcing that they would withdraw their troops according to the specified time. All troops will withdraw from Annan within the next two months.

The 50-strong army is eating, drinking, and having sex, which is really too much for even someone with an old American background.

On this planet, only the Great and Beautiful State has the power to bombard this planet for 20 years at a time...

Therefore, Lou Xiao'e resolutely withdrew from the stock market despite the strong opposition of Chen Xueru and financial advisors.

And starting from late February, he accepted Li Yuan's suggestion and began to quietly make reverse movements.

It's very simple. You can borrow stocks from securities companies that are everywhere, sell them decisively, and return the stocks after half a year according to the contract, and pay a certain amount of interest.

In the eyes of Chen Xueru and the financial advisor, this operation is almost a suicide attempt.

Because the stock market is rising every day, Datang Financial will lose a lot of money every time it rises by one point.

If you throw money into the water, you can still hear a little sound. If you are bearish now, wouldn't it mean that you lose money and can't even hear a little sound?
This kind of money-losing trading continued until March NO.12. The stock market collapsed from a high of 1774.96, and finally collapsed to 150 points...

This positive and negative directly made Lou Xiaoe a billionaire.

However, it is worth mentioning that the Lou family was in trouble again.

The five-year bull market has rekindled Lou Ying's already dead heart towards the stock market.

The money earned from working in a factory for a year is not as much as the money invested in the stock market for a month. Who can bear this?

By the end of February, despite Lou Xiao'e's repeated persuasion, the skyrocketing data every day still stung Lou Ying from losing all his net worth...

Gee!
In fact, not only the Lou family, but Chen Xueru also lost all his savings.

She is an ambitious woman. It would be great to work with the Li family, but wouldn't it be even more fun if she could become a multi-millionaire and go it alone?

So even if Lou Xiao'e is about to tell the truth, it will still be useless.

There are also seven companies including Huang Daoyi and Zhong Yuchi who work at Longhu Hall, as well as many workers who work at Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory...

The worst losses in this wave were Chinese-owned banks, pawnshops, many real companies, and the citizens of Hong Kong Island who had made a fortune relying on the war economy in the past 20 years. Almost everyone vomited three liters of blood.

There has never been such a tragic stock market crash in history, it can be called unprecedented...

The stock market crash is actually a process of wealth transfer. Funds will not appear out of thin air, nor will they disappear out of thin air.

Except for a few figures such as Li Huanggua, who made a large fortune by going public before the stock market crash, the vast majority of wealth, tens of billions of dollars, ended up in the hands of British-funded consortiums.

The Datang Finance in Lou Xiao'e's hands is actually just a small bite of fat.

But who can blame this?

In order to cool down the stock market, the Hong Kong government even arranged for firefighters to spray water cannons into the hall, but it still didn't work.

The employees of Longhutang, Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory, Datang Restaurant, Datang Real Estate, and Datang Financial are lucky. They all received a generous half-year bonus, which means they have overcome the difficulties.
It stands to reason that after the withdrawal of Laos and the United States, Hong Kong Island should be in ruins.

But this place is so lucky. Although history records that it would not be reopened until [-], in fact, [-] should be the first year of opening.

Although the scale is not comparable to that of 400 or [-], even so, such a huge country began to open up to the outside world, and all ports were concentrated in one city on Hong Kong Island. Even the crude oil crisis caused by the Middle East was solved because of Daqing's support. It was safe and sound, and all kinds of favorable conditions helped this small city with a population of only [-] million to climb back to its peak and enter a golden period of development.

The Li family's wealth also continued to expand.

This year, except Xiaoqi, all six children of the Li family went to school.

Lou Xiu was basically liberated, and together with the hard-hit Chen Xueru, they expanded the scale of their independently designed and produced clothing company "Mingyue Pavilion".

The reputation of Longhutang in Hong Kong Island has further improved. What Li Yuan did not expect was that the first brand name was "Longhutang Guogong Liquor". This medicinal wine can treat paralysis caused by obstruction of wind, cold and dampness. , the effect is very good for symptoms such as joint pain, heaviness, difficulty in flexion and extension, numbness of hands and feet, waist and leg pain, etc.

People all over the streets in the UK wear pants and skirts barefoot in winter. It’s not that they are not afraid of the cold and are not afraid of getting cold legs rheumatism. They have always believed that this disease is caused by genetics. Western medicine does not support that cold weather will cause cold legs. .

However, after drinking the "Longhutang Guogong Wine", I felt so damn good!
A small cup can last you a whole day, and it tastes better than painkillers.

The traditional Chinese medicine factory of Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory is almost turning into a medicinal wine factory.By the way, the Li family's Datang Financial took advantage of the extreme downturn in the stock market to absorb a large number of stocks from companies such as Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai, New World, and Henderson Land.

These Chinese-owned properties were also the big winners in [-], and with these funds, they continued to expand land acquisitions in the following years, making a great contribution to the soaring housing prices on Hong Kong Island...

The Li family's Datang Real Estate, relying on the money they earned from the stock market, continued to quietly buy one tenement building after another.

Hundreds of people jumped from buildings in [-], and tens of thousands of families went bankrupt.

As a result, housing prices that originally took off have dropped by [-]%. Datang Real Estate continues to absorb housing and rent it out...

[-] passed in the midst of harvest...

……

In [-], China was still on the road to opening up...

The country decided to save money and continue to import a batch of large-scale chemical fertilizers, chemical fibers, continuous steel plate rolling mills and other equipment from abroad, which were improved and put into production.

This is of course a good thing, but it also comes at a heavy price.

The shortage of funds means that the urban population that can be supported is further reduced, industrial products have not yet generated profits, and most of the current export products come from rural areas.

As a result, the third large-scale rural migration occurred.

In March, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang were unveiled, shocking the world.

In May, Dagang Oilfield was established.

In September, the large-scale Shengli Oilfield was established.

The oil crisis caused by various wars caused oil prices to skyrocket.

These two new oil fields, coupled with the high production of Daqing Oil Field, have allowed the country's economy to breathe...

This year, Li's Datang Real Estate was finally taken seriously by the real estate industry. The business model of only renting but not selling surprised many people, but they did not follow suit.

Because the rent is not enough for them to pay the interest on the land, and a lot of energy and manpower are wasted.

But some people are beginning to suspect that Datang Real Estate is betting that housing prices will continue to skyrocket in the future.

If the current housing prices double again, Datang's profits will more than triple.

Datang Restaurant's reputation is getting better and better, and Ming Yue Pavilion clothing has begun to be accepted by more and more people on Hong Kong Island, and has begun to expand to Southeast Asia.

Needless to say, Longhutang, in addition to the continued sales of Guogong Liquor, other top ten famous medicines of Tongrentang, such as Angong Niuhuang Pills, Dahuoluo Dan, Niuhuang Qingxin Pills, etc., have gradually gained fame. Although the price is high, purchasing There are more and more people.

Only Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory and laboratories still need to invest huge amounts of money every year.

Li Yuan does have the finished product of oseltamivir in his hands, and even has instructions. For a mature pharmaceutical company, it should be said that the biggest difficulty has been overcome.

But for the blank Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory, there are twelve processes required for the production of oseltamivir, and each of them requires huge efforts.

Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory imports star anise and fennel from the mainland every year. Star anise likes warm temperatures and is mainly grown in the south.The best place for growing fennel is in Hebei Province. Nowadays, Hongxing Commune and several surrounding communes have planted large areas of fennel. This has earned a lot of foreign exchange, and Qin Daxue, who is in charge of this, has achieved great results.

Unfortunately, this year, the twelve processes of oseltamivir have not yet been completely conquered...

……

In [-], the Mainland's economy turned around for the better...

As a result, Hong Kong Island has entered a golden period of rapid economic development.

People who graduate from primary school can work in garment factories, with a monthly salary of HK$1200.

People who graduate from middle school can join a company as a salesperson, with a monthly salary of HK$1800.

People who graduate from high school can work as clerks in companies, with a monthly salary of HK$2400.

People who graduate from normal school can work as primary school teachers with a monthly salary of HK$4500.

A portion of curry beef brisket rice costs 3.5 yuan.

Housing prices in Kowloon are around HKD 20 per square meter, and a [-]-square-foot house costs about HKD [-].

At the same time, the average salary of ordinary workers in mainland China is still around 30 yuan.

But in fact, the vast majority cannot get this number...

"Xiao Qi, be good and go to school well. Dad will bring you Beijing roast duck when he comes back!"

On December 31, [-], when Li Yuan sent his little daughter Li Qing into kindergarten, he waved goodbye.

Li Qing is three years old this year and goes to Victoria Kindergarten, which her six brothers attended.

As the most beloved angel in the family, she was unhappy that her father was going on a business trip. Under the secret instigation of her second brother, she made a lot of demands...

After Li Qing reluctantly entered the kindergarten, and Li Yuan got in the car, Nie Yu raised his head and said, "When you're done, go home quickly. I'm really impressed by you father and daughter. You spend so much time getting to school every day. It’s not annoying. You can be as disgusting as you want, but you still have to take me with you..."

Li Yuan said angrily: "Do you feel like a mother?"

Nie Yu angrily rolled up the magazine in his hand and greeted Li Yuan, saying angrily: "Why don't you dare to talk about your eldest wife? Lou Xiao'e beats her son every day and it makes me feel bad. I can't stop him, and I haven't seen you let him go." ...You will talk about me?!"

Li Yuan laughed angrily and said, "Can a son be the same as a girl? If you want to have a son, you can beat him as you like!"

Nie Yu didn't know where to go, and said angrily: "You finally told the truth, right? You think I didn't give birth to a son? I want to continue to give birth!"

Li Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Don't beat me up! Who doesn't know that Xiao Qi is the most precious child in our family? If you want to give birth, you can continue to give birth, but if you give birth, you have to take care of it yourself. Xiao Qi was brought up by Sister Xiu, so you don't care." I haven't cared about it much. She is so busy now and has no time to help you take care of it."

Nie Yu was discouraged: "Forget it, I'll be busy too. But... alas, it's starting again in my hometown. I don't know how many more days I can be busy..."

Li Yuan started the car, moved the magazine in front of him, glanced at Brigitte Lin's cover, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the general situation can't be changed. Even if the trouble continues, it won't last long."

After that, he drove back home and went to the Kadoorie Family Pier without staying long.

And on New Year's Day, [-], I set foot on the motherland...

……

PS: I changed it for two hours, I don’t know if I can pass it.
