A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 324 Massive collapse! (Please vote for a [-]-word chapter!)

The 21st of the twelfth lunar month is another weekend.

It snowed all night before, and it's rare that it's sunny today.

In Qinjiazhuang, many people were crowded in the Li family courtyard.

But not many Li family members came today, and there were quite a few strangers.

There were several jeeps parked outside the Li Family Courtyard. Two young men in military uniforms were washing the first one with unlucky looks on their faces...

In the compound, several neatly dressed middle-aged men hurriedly helped hold down a big fat pig, and then watched Li Yuan's white knife go in and the red knife out, stabbing the butcher's knife into the big fat pig's heart, ending the pig's three years. s life……

Li Yuan also explained to the children of the Li family next to him: "This is tricky. You have to cut the knife from the neck and throat, and stab it directly to the heart. One knife will kill you. But it is not a random stab. When killing a pig, try to bleed it with blood." , the meat will be delicious only after the blood has been drained. So you cannot break the heart directly, and the blood will not be drained cleanly. You can only pierce the large blood vessels and make the heart contract continuously to squeeze out the blood."

With that said, he also took the wooden bucket handed by Li Yuan and picked up the pig blood.

Li Zhiguo stepped forward and said, "Dad, can I feel it?"

Li Yuan stepped aside and let his son enter.

The little girl Qiao Yue behind her covered her mouth and looked at this scene in horror. It seemed that she wanted to hold Li Zhiguo back, but she didn't dare to move.

Li Zhiguo stepped forward and grasped the handle of the knife, pulled it back, and then stabbed it in again. The pig's blood flowed faster...

He turned back and asked Qiao Yue: "Sister Qiao Yue, do you want to try it?"

Qiao Yue's face was deformed and she shook her head repeatedly. She was trying to make a fool of herself.

On the other hand, the other boys from the Li family came forward and tried it one by one, laughing and joking.

Mei Changning said to Qiao Xing who was holding the pig's trotters: "Have you learned a lot?"

Qiao Xing laughed. After the pig was killed, Li Yuan made another opening at the pig's feet and asked Qiao Xing, "Can you blow air?"

Qiao Xing was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "After killing the pig, you have to blow air into it. Otherwise, look at the pig hair, which is thorny and hard, making it difficult to remove the hair. Therefore, after killing the pig, you often have to blow air into it with your mouth. Until the pig becomes round..."

Qiao Xing's face turned pale. He looked at the pig's trotters he was pressing and almost vomited.

Li Yuan laughed and asked Li Yuan, the eighteenth-year-old, to get a pump.

Qiao Xing: "..."

When Li Yuan walked into the house, his heart was beating wildly.

He has been hanging out in ministries and commissions all year round, how could he not know these people who came to the house today?

Of course, acquaintance means hearing about it, occasionally seeing one or two, and the rest are just like myths.

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my eighth uncle’s cards would be as big as this.

After cleaning up the pigs, the Li brothers stepped forward to take over the battle, while Li Yuan and Mei Changning walked aside to talk.

"Sometimes I really envy you."

Looking at the snowy mountains in the distance, Mei Changning's opening was somewhat unexpected.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "There are many people who envy me, and there are also many people who look down on me. To me, there is no difference. To you, there is actually no difference."

Mei Changning is also famous and slandered all over the capital.

It's just that the name is on the surface, and the slander is behind the scenes, he actually understands both.

Some of the people who came with him today were whispering about him in private.

But as Li Yuan said, he didn't care.

Those who praise him may not really think him well.

Similarly, people who scold him behind his back may not really have evil thoughts towards him.

When he gives an order, these people will also rush forward with swords and mountains of fire.

It is this kind of tolerant character that makes him a recognized leader among so many children.

Mei Changning laughed, nodded and said: "Yes, but I still admire you. We are the same age, but you have already made a name for yourself with your bare hands. Now you dare to let your son go directly. Your son is still doing so beautifully. You Are you jealous or not? Look at me, I am over 40 years old and have accomplished nothing. If I say this, others will probably laugh, but you definitely won’t."

He did do some earth-shattering things, but those big things were all because he was Mr. Mei's son.

As a proud person, he wants to make a career on his own, just like Li Yuan.

Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Young age has the advantage of being younger, and being older has the advantage of being older. There has always been no shortage of people in Chinese history who are old and prosperous, late bloomers. Such people are often no longer young and frivolous. The overlapping of annual rings makes them cherish things even more, and the tempering of years makes them wise in world affairs and sophisticated in human relations. In fact, I envy such people, they rarely make mistakes. "

Qiao Xing laughed at the side and said: "What about your eldest son? He is so young and he has achieved such high achievements."

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I haven't had much control over his career matters. I don't understand those myself, so how can I care about them? I only have one requirement for my children, which is good health and a happy life. A few years ago, my second son I found a female celebrity to date when I was 12 years old. This is what I told him: I have no academic requirements or career requirements for you, and I don’t expect you to have any great feelings for your family and country. Even, I You don't need to be a good person, as long as you are not a criminal. The only requirement is not to damage your body prematurely, which will make me very worried and sad.

So you tell me, I really don't care what my son accomplished.

On the day when the government came back from Qiao's house, he told me some things, but I didn't call them, and the people on Hong Kong Island didn't contact me either.

This is fine, just do your own thing and be responsible for winning or losing. "

A group of people's views exploded! !
Qiao Xing wanted to turn around and take his daughter away quickly, so as to never have anything to do with this lunatic.

What's wrong? His son was looking for a female star when he was 12 years old. If they were doing this, their belts would be broken several times. It's better for him, he just asked his son not to hurt his body.

What kind of hellish saying is this? !

I had long heard that capitalism pampers its children, but I didn’t expect that this man would become terminally ill just a few years ago!
However, Qiao Xing understood the purpose of coming today, and he also knew Li Si's information. He frowned and said, "Dr. Li, did you know that your second son opened a nightclub and supported some club members, and you don't care?"

When others hear Li Yuan say this, they will still be suspicious, wondering whether he is deliberately making excuses.

But Qiao Xing and the others knew that what Li Yuan said was true.

Li Yuan’s second son, Li Si, really opened a nightclub!

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Of course. But he is still quite obedient. There are no girls or fans there. There are only a few gambling tables, and they are also betting on boxing matches in the ring. The only thing that is a bit excessive is that most of the ring matches are played by women. Fighting, it's ridiculous. But it doesn't matter, as long as you don't do evil. His nightclub didn't take a penny from me, the success or failure depends on him, I won't interfere."

After everyone looked at the destruction of the place, they also understood the meaning of Li Yuan's words.

The eldest son is in charge of the Li family's Hong Kong Island family business.

Since he would not interfere with the second son, he would not interfere with the eldest son.

The children grew up on Hong Kong Island and had no sense of family and country.

They wanted to take advantage of Hong Kong Island and get some conveniences, so naturally they thought too much.

Many people have ugly faces...

If you don't want to go to Hong Kong Island for convenience, who would be willing to come to this place to watch pigs being slaughtered?
But Mei Changning was obviously much more calm. He smiled and said: "Strange people do strange things. If you do this, your children will still be better than the other. If we dare to raise children like this, we will first have our legs broken by the old man in the family." Is Vice Mayor Qin busy again? Today is Sunday, and there is no rest."

Li Yuan shook his head helplessly and said: "For her, there is no such thing as Sunday."

Mei Changning smiled and said: "Vice Mayor Qin is really amazing. A woman returned to the countryside from Dashenghai in three years and worked for more than 20 years with outstanding achievements. Now she has created a vegetable basket project, which can be an example for the world. My father is He said, if officials like Chen can be like Vice City Qin, then the day of communism will really be possible. Vice City Qin’s future is limitless."

These words moved many people present.

Who is Mei Changning's father?

That is the super giant who determines the world, and his words are almost equivalent to expressing his stance.

If it spreads, it will cause huge waves.

Even Qiao Xing's expression changed, and he looked at Mei Changning in confusion, wondering why he made such a rumor at this time...

Li Yuan seemed not to understand, and said with a smile: "I don't care how big her future is. Anyway, we have made an agreement that she will work until she is sixty, and if she reaches 65, she will retire when the country is prosperous! If we continue with the current policy of reform and opening up, I will I see you don’t have to wait until 65. Let’s go, the pork is almost ready, I’ll make a big dish for you: Pork Stewed Vermicelli!”

A group of boys really wanted to go to the village and lead some local dogs to spend some time together.

Oh my god, pork stewed vermicelli!

Didn’t you say that this guy’s cooking skills are better than his medical skills?Invite them to a meal and just eat this?

If it weren't for Mei Changning's face, many people would want to leave in shame!
Mei Changning's expression changed, and she looked at Li Yuan with an unfathomable look.

Is there really such a noble person who regards royal power, wealth and honor as dirt?

These words said in front of him were not said casually.

65...

Li Yuan could feel Mei Changning's absence, and he snickered secretly in his heart.

Even an extremely smart person like Mei Changning could not have imagined at this moment that in a few years, the abolition of life-long mortgages would be proposed...

By then, it won't matter whether it's a few years earlier or a few years later.

However, if this slogan is shouted out early before it is abolished, the effect will be completely different!
Not only will it greatly reduce a lot of resistance and hostility for Qin Daxue, but it will also show his high integrity and pure and lofty aspirations!

Tsk, we, Lao Li, will definitely not lose this time!
……

Fragrant!
Really fragrant!

These people have had many state banquets, but they have never tasted such a delicious big pot dish.

The fresh pork stew is soft and delicious, fat but not greasy, and the meat is delicious.

The vermicelli absorbs the umami flavor of the pork and the richness of the soup, making it smooth, tender and chewy yet melts in your mouth.

The taste of cabbage is even more unforgettable. After being soaked in the rich soup from the stewed pork and vermicelli, plus a hint of freshness and sweetness from the cabbage itself, it becomes the ultimate delicacy!
Even the Erhe Noodle Steamed Bun, which they usually don’t want to take a second look at, has become a hot commodity and they enjoy eating it.

The group of people all burst into laughter after finishing the huge pot of pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew.

A middle-aged man in his thirties laughed and said: "What a shame, this dish is more delicious than the braised pork I had at the last state banquet!"

Qiao Xing said with emotion: "I now believe that Dr. Li really loves life and values ​​life. If he were not such a person, he would not have such good cooking skills. I'm convinced, I'm convinced! In comparison, we They have all become a bunch of common people.”

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You can do it if you take the time to learn."

Qiao Xing shook his head and said happily, "I'm really not this material." Mei Changning said: "Schopenhauer said that in this life, people are either vulgar or lonely. We are vulgar people, and Dr. Li is a lonely person. .”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's really not the case."

Mei Changning thought for a while, nodded and sighed: "It's not true. You have a family, a wife, children, and mentors. You cherish them, and they also cherish you. Alas, I can't spend too much time with you, otherwise I will pity myself."

Li Yuan asked curiously: "This statement is new, how do you say it?"

Mei Changning said: "We are not like meaningful human beings at all, but more like a ball of desires. If desires cannot be satisfied, we will suffer. After the desires are satisfied, we are not very happy, or we may not be happy for long before we become bored. Then, the birth of Greater desire.

Our lives oscillate between pain and boredom.After talking to you today, I discovered the biggest difference between you and us. We people care very much about how others view us. We want face, not only for our own face, but also to maintain the glory of our parents.

You are different. You don't even care about the shocking eyes of the outside world and allow your son to find female stars and open nightclubs at the age of 12.

You live your life better than we all. "

Li Yuan laughed and said, "You went to the countryside to understand life?"

Qiao Xing laughed at the side and said: "Aning is different from us. He has a lot of ideas. I remember walking with him on the street that year, and there was a girl playing the piano and performing on the street. Aning was sitting on the street While watching, he asked me if I had any money with me. Finally, he took all the money from me and gave it to someone else. The little girl was so scared that she didn’t know what to do. He also looked back while walking, worried about me, and turned away tears."

It was obviously not the first time for a group of people to hear such a story. They burst into laughter and laughed at Mei Changning's soft-heartedness.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Already aware of the vastness of the universe, I still pity the green grass and trees. It's rare. Ah Ning likes to read?"

Mei Changning stood up, nodded and said: "I like Zeng Guofan's couplet very much: I am left alone for a long time, and I will study again after returning from hundreds of battles. I hope that one day I will retire with success, and I will plow the fields and study like a wandering cloud and wild crane. Yuanzi, Last time you said that the cooperation between China Resources and Datang in the mainland will be settled with us in US dollars on Hong Kong Island. Your eldest son should recognize this, right?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I still have this little face."

Mei Changning laughed and said, "That's fine, thank you."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "No need, I didn't suffer any loss."

Mei Changning chuckled: "You can't say that. U.S. dollars... on the black market, the ratio that can be exchanged for RMB is far higher than the official regulations. I recognize this favor. Yuanzi, although your family may not need it, Cao Cao If you are still here, no one will be so open-minded and come to trouble your family. But if you need it, please contact me. Just make friends. Say goodbye. "

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Goodbye."

After the two of them looked at each other and smiled, a group of people and several cars drove away in a hurry.

Qiao Xingdu took his daughter away forcibly, probably because he was frightened by Li Yuan's tutor.

Li Yuan doesn't matter, and Li Zhiguo doesn't matter even more.

After watching them leave, the father and son were about to go back when they saw the eighteenth-year-old Li Yuan with a happy face and a flattering smile approaching him. Li Yuan raised his foot and kicked him.

Li Yuan jumped out of the way and shouted: "Uncle Eighth! Don't be upset! I just want you to help introduce us to each other. If you don't say anything, I will be honest today..."

Li Yuandao: "What's the matter? You don't want to be a good person, but want to be a dog for others? Look at what you look like today...Old Eighteen, these people are here today. If you dare to go and talk nonsense to others, I won't stop you." I can't break your dog legs. What did I say before? As a whole family, I'm afraid that you will lose the face of the old Li family. Do you think I'm just talking nonsense?"

The adults of the Li family came out of the house and saw Li Yuan getting angry and teaching Shi Shi. The fifth brother Li Hai picked up a shovel and was about to come over and beat Li Yuan to death, but was stopped by the second brother Li Jiang and the others.

Li Chi asked: "Youngest, what's wrong? Is Shiba causing trouble?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "It's nothing at the moment. I just want to hammer it out in advance to prevent this bastard from running out and causing embarrassment." He opened up to Li Yuan and said, "Have you seen how they get along with me today?"

Li Yuan also realized that he was scared now, nodded and said: "Uncle Eighth, I saw it, they respect you very much."

Li Yuan scolded: "They respect me so much! What they respect is my family business and strength on Hong Kong Island. Our family is all farmers. What is it that deserves the respect of other princes and grandsons? Do you understand, only your own strength?" Only when you are strong can others look up to you and at least treat you as an equal.

Do you think that with my eighth uncle here, you will have the opportunity to sneak into their circle and hook up with them?Dream on!
Let me tell you, even within their circle, there are three levels.But in the innermost circle, besides family background, personal ability is the most important.You can't see the truth under your hands. If you treat others like a dog, they won't look down upon you.

Do you understand what I mean? "

Li Yuan nodded dejectedly, and Li Yuan asked, "Tell me, what do I mean?"

Li Yuan hesitated when he heard the words, but he still said honestly: "Uncle Eighth told me to be a down-to-earth person and do things... But Uncle Eighth, didn't you ask me to make more friends?"

Li Yuan sighed and said, "Mei Changning, have you heard of it before?"

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, who doesn't know him?"

Li Yuandao: "This person is an example for you to learn from. He also makes friends all over the world, but half of the reasons for making friends are family background and half of it is talent. Family background does not even account for half. When he said those words just now, You are also listening from behind, do you know who he is talking about?"

Li Yuan thought for a while and then whispered: "Zeng Guofan?"

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "It's Schopenhauer, a German philosopher. Do you understand now?"

Li Yuan understands six...

Li Zhiguo couldn't stand it anymore, so he reminded his favorite brother when he was a child: "Brother Shiba, dad wants you to read more books, apply what you have learned, and think more."

Li Yuan didn't say much, and it was up to Li Yuan to figure out the rest. After sending Li Zhiguo and Li Yuan to go out to play, he walked up to his family, smiled at his fifth brother Li Hai, "You're so old, don't do anything." , It’s useless. I still have some understanding, I hammer and hammer from time to time, if I can calm down and read the book again, I will make rapid progress, and I won’t necessarily be worse than Kuner and others in the future.”

Li Hai didn't believe it: "Just him?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Fifth brother, you still don't believe my opinion? The world has changed, and he will become more and more popular in the future. If he goes astray, he will make faster progress, but sooner or later he will suffer. I will Let Daxue pay attention, it's not a big problem. You and Fifth Sister-in-law don't have to worry about it from now on, it won't be too much to worry about."

The fifth sister-in-law smiled and said: "The milk I received back then was really not in vain. If I had known better, I would have asked you to eat more!"

The whole family laughed, and Li Yuan also laughed. The second sister-in-law asked Li Yuan, "Yuanzi, where did you get your pigs?"

Reform and opening up has returned to reform and opening up, but food stamps and meat stamps have not been cancelled.

Even the unified distribution of grain was not lifted until [-].

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I bought it from China Resources. It's more convenient to buy there. As long as you give us Hong Kong dollars or US dollars, you can buy anything."

The second brother, Li Jiang, was not polite: "My youngest, you brought back foreign money? Lend me some."

Li Yuandao: "I'll pay it directly... Why are you borrowing foreign money?"

Li Jiang chuckled and said, "Your second sister-in-law's father is going to celebrate his eightieth birthday, and she wants to do her best to be filial."

The second sister-in-law said a little embarrassedly: "The main reason is that my father is not in good health, and I don't know if he can..." she choked with sobs.

"OK OK!"

Li Yuandao: "Just send Shiba to China Resources to get the money, put it on my account, and then go back and settle the bill at Hong Kong Island."

Li Chi became unhappy and said, "Just this time." After that, he left with his hands behind his back.

The second sister-in-law's face turned red and she was about to shed tears. Li Yuan quickly coaxed in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay. Brother, you are treating me like a brat. Second sister-in-law, it's okay."

The sister-in-law also smiled and said: "You still don't know who your elder brother is? Don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Li Yuan asked his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, do you want it from your mother's side?"

The eldest sister-in-law laughed angrily and said: "You don't want me to live a good life, do you? Let's just leave it like this. We have too many children and too many in-laws. It's not that we are unkind, but it's just that we can't get close. It's not easy for me to be the youngest. He has taken care of our family for so many years. If you can avoid causing trouble to him, then don't cause trouble. In the future, whoever has a situation like the second child's family can make an exception. In other cases, please don't say anything, otherwise you Big brother is angry, I can't help you."

……

Hong Kong Island, Central.

Hang Seng Building.

Li Xing looked at the year-end financial report in his hand, especially the figures for the last half month, with a very solemn expression.

He Shanheng smiled and said: "Are you surprised?"

Li Xing nodded, slowly exhaled and said: "I have thought about the impact after the split of Hang Seng, but I never thought that the impact would be so big. In half a month, more than 20 billion deposits were transferred out, and the market value was even more It plummeted to only 15 billion, and it is still falling every day. There are a total of 36 branch savings banks, and [-] managers have resigned. It’s a massive collapse.”

He Shanheng smiled and said: "Now you know, why did I transfer the shares to you for only 5000 million? Because I had expected this day. How about it, have you regretted taking the one billion shares? Let me tell you, the current market value is not even In the end, it will continue to decline. Xingzi, you are in great trouble!"

Li Xing smiled and said: "How can you regret it, Uncle He? Just with the banking license of Hang Seng Bank, you can't buy it now even if you have money. As long as you can survive this wave, you will be able to turn around sooner or later."

He Shanheng laughed and said: "Okay, you are indeed the person I like! Ever since HSBC played a trick, I have been thinking about how to deal with it over the years..."

Li Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Uncle He, can we fight back?"

He Shanheng said angrily: "What a counterattack! It can be said that the entire finance of Hong Kong Island is controlled by HSBC. They control the sky with one hand, and the Hong Kong dollars are issued by them. Otherwise, how could there be such a big movement now? However, this is not the past. . Coupled with the preparations I have made over the years, and the gold you gave me, the total is enough to stabilize the situation. Although it will inevitably cause a serious loss of vitality, as long as I can't die this time, I will definitely be able to turn around.

What you just said is correct. Banking licenses are becoming increasingly scarce. Applying for a new license requires not only the Hong Kong government's review, but also the review of global regulatory agencies. It is extremely difficult and it is basically impossible for ordinary newcomers to get involved. This line.

Thanks to HSBC, Hang Seng's license has been reviewed by global regulatory agencies and has the right to open branches in almost all developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and Australia.

Based on this alone, Hang Seng Bank's market value is underpinned.

Xingzi, if your family still has funds, it is best to buy Hang Seng stocks from now on. The more shares you hold, the better. In the future, it would be best if you can privatize and delist and become your family's private bank.

The biggest advantage of a private bank is that it has a bank secrecy system, which is its unique golden bell and can avoid various supervisions that listed banks do not have.

The most famous family private bank in the world is Rothschild Bank.

No one knows how much money the family has, whether it is still rich and powerful, or whether it has declined.

I only know that the Rothschild family was the first bank to resume business in Japan after the war, and was respected by the Japanese Emperor and presented with the Order of the Holy Treasure of Japan.Emond Rothschild was a key member of the City of London delegation, Guy Rothschild became head of the Bank of France and provided financing for the Hong Kong Island Underground, railway systems...almost everywhere in the world, Even mainland China.They had entered as early as [-].This year, they have successfully bid to build two large power plants in mainland China.

They are involved in much of the buzz in the world, but are slipping into obscurity, which is one of the benefits of owning a private bank.

Of course, they are so great because the Rothschild family is strong enough to play the role of a private bank.

However, your family will be equally amazing in the future, right?For such a large family, owning a private bank has only advantages and no disadvantages.

Xingzi, this time is a crisis, but it is also an unprecedented good time for your family. "

When Li Xing heard this, his eyes gradually brightened.

But this matter is too big. No matter what, I have to wait for my father to come back before making any decision.

Moreover, I still have to count on my father to borrow money.

The Li family is almost empty now. He knows that the cards are still far from good, so he can only hope that his father will come back and borrow at least one billion...

A super listed company with a market value of tens of billions may not have that much existing capital.

I don’t know if my father will agree or if I can borrow it...
