A leisurely life reborn in the fiery age

Chapter 377 Cut off the beard! Cut off the beard! Cut off the beard! (Ten thousand words, please vote for me!)

"Tang Yuan, you should know that old Mike is a good man."

After Li Xing arrived at Kadoorie Mansion, Old Roland introduced him in an old voice.

Old Roland is about to turn eighty-four. In traditional Chinese culture, it is difficult for an old man to endure seventy-three or eighty-four.

Today's old Roland is indeed old enough, and his voice sounds a bit like the old godfather Vito Corleone in the movie "The Godfather".

Li Xing laughed out loud in his heart when he heard this. Mike Keswick of Jardine Matheson has been staring at the Li family's Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory with great hunger and desire in the past few years. If it weren't for the fact that his father was so famous and famous for killing Fa Wuji, it is estimated that Jardine Matheson, which is not much better than HSBC, has done something wrong long ago.

He did not rush to greet Mike, but looked at old Roland with concern and said: "Grandpa Roland, how are you? Because my father has not returned home, and I have to take care of the house, I can't come to visit you. You look so cold. You’re not feeling well, do you need me to make an emergency call to my father and ask him to come back?”

Old Luolan was a little moved and looked at Li Xing lovingly: "Tangyuan, you are a good boy, much kinder than your father. Before he left, he came to me and warned me not to rush if it was not cool yet. Call him back."

"..."

Li Xingqian laughed and said, "Grandpa Luolan, my father is joking. You know him."

Old Roland chuckled and said: "You are right, I know him, and I have begun to miss him. He is such an interesting person. However, I can still hold on, I just have a cold." The words After a turn, he said again: "Victor, this is Mike Keswick, the president of Jardine Matheson. You must know him. I know that there have been some unpleasantness between you. But Victor, that is just business." Your father didn't get angry because of this, right? In business, don't be emotional. Calling you here today is also a business matter."

Li Xing nodded and said: "Grandpa Roland, I have learned a lot of useful knowledge and management methods from you and Uncle Michael in the past two years at CLP Power. OK, I listen to you. Hello, Mr. Keswick ."

Mike Keswick was a little tired, but it would be nice if Li could listen to old Roland and be reasonable, unlike his father who was as scary as mental illness. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li, I hope I can learn from it." Hang Seng Bank loan..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xing shook his head and smiled: "Old Mike, please get down to business. My wife is about to give birth and I really don't have time to joke with you. Every penny from Hang Seng Bank has its own use. But Obviously, loans to Jardine Matheson are not included."

Mike sighed helplessly and said: "Okay, let's talk about Hong Kong Electric. Eight yuan, only eight yuan..."

Michael laughed and scolded: "Old Mike, this is my nephew. I don't have a biological nephew, but Tangyuan is. He has been an intern with me at China Electric Power Co., Ltd. in the past two years. If I don't have a son, he can even be the son of our family." Heir. Why go around in circles?"

Mike cursed secretly and then mocked: "Your family has almost forgotten that you are Jewish. Do you think you are Chinese?"

Mi Gao looked tangled for a moment and said: "If their yamen didn't like to engage in public-private partnerships, it would be okay to be Chinese. After all, no one can compare to the British in terms of doing dirty things. All the disputes in the world , nothing can escape your shadow."

The Keswick family were of Scottish origin.

Seeing that Old Mike was about to get angry, Old Roland smiled and said: "Calm down, our only opponent is HSBC. If we fight, that arrogant guy Shen Bi will definitely laugh his head off. Mike, why don't we all be honest?" Just a little bit, let’s fix the price, it’s only six yuan, okay?”

Mi Gao said: "It is estimated that there are only three yuan in the stock market now."

Mike said: "Of course that's not how the accounts are calculated. If a large-scale acquisition is launched, the stock price will easily be raised."

Li Xing smiled and said: "If Yihe Matheson really encounters difficulties, the Li family of Datang is willing to extend our hand of friendship. Six yuan, we will not bargain."

For this scarce resource, if HSBC knew about it, they would definitely try their best to get it.

In fact, in the original time and space without the Li family, Jardine Matheson waited until three years before selling it to Li Huagua from HSBC for more than six yuan.

But six yuan at that time was completely different from what it is now, because next year the Hong Kong government will rivet the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar. Now it is pegged to the British pound, and even chicken feathers are useless.

With regard to Britain’s junk economy after World War II, the pound itself could not be saved.

After the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar was fixed at 7.5, the situation was immediately stabilized.

The current exchange rate is almost below ten, at nine point eight.

So six yuan in 1985 was worth much more than it is now.

Mike nodded in frustration and said, "Okay. Bring your legal team to the Jardine House tomorrow for negotiation. Remember to prepare cash."

Li Xingdao: "If Jardine needs money urgently, I can arrange for a team of lawyers to go over and hand it over now. After it is done, I will go over and sign it in the evening. Old Mike, I am giving you time to prepare. I think I suddenly mobilized a large team of lawyers to hand over the money." The money is enough for you to plan and severely attack those who are shorting Yihe, isn't it?"

Mike took a deep look at him, nodded, and said, "Okay, Victor, you are even better than your father."

Mi Gao laughed wildly at the side: "Hahahaha! Li? He is just a doctor, but he knows nothing about company management? He can't even recognize the company's executives, right? Is it glutinous rice balls?"

Li Xing smiled bitterly. There was really no way to explain this. He nodded and said: "I don't know more than five people. But my father's excellence is not in business. Without him, I wouldn't even be qualified to stand here and be the head of Yihe." People negotiate, you know.”

After hearing this, Old Mike twitched his lips and left sadly.

Without Li Yuan, the Li family, a mere Chinese, had already been squeezed out of their bones by HSBC. Naturally, they were not qualified to stand here and negotiate deals with him.

After Michael sent Mike out and came back, he screamed excitedly: "Oh!"

Old Roland burst into laughter and said: "I didn't expect, Tang Yuan, I didn't expect that the Li family could win Hong Kong Electric. Now, immediately arrange for Datang's commercial lawyer team to go to Jardine House. After signing, transfer the funds to Jardine House as soon as possible." account. In addition, we will continue to scan the stock market and strive to increase our shareholding by more than 67% within half a year to achieve absolute control. Let Mi Gao take you to find Blanco tomorrow. He works at China Electric Power Co., Ltd. For many years, he is a top expert who is proficient in all aspects. Get to know him, impress him, and ask him to help you manage Hong Kong Electric Company."

Li Xing was moved and said: "Grandpa Luo Lan, you are really a kind and honest elder."

Mi Gao took the opportunity to discuss: "Tang Yuan, Feili and Xiao Qi are about the same age. If our two families can..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xing said again: "Uncle Mi Gao, when I was chatting with my brothers yesterday, I was still saying that we really couldn't think of what kind of boy would be worthy of my sister. Mi Gao Uncle, Feili is also my younger brother. Fugui and the others think so too, and think that Feili is our most beloved relative and friend, a brother and sister. But you should understand that when a couple lives together, who doesn’t have the time to quarrel?

But, I understand, but how could our brothers see our sister being bullied? Regardless of whether it is Xiao Qi or Xiao Jiu, if they are bullied, our brothers will probably accidentally beat them to death. So please think about it, can we get married?

Speaking of which, I am very happy to see it. I like Feili very much. The young man has freckles on his face, how cute he is. "

After Mi Gao said "Fake" more than two hundred times in one breath, he cursed and said: "Pretend I didn't say it!"

He was afraid that his only son would be bullied to death by those demon kings of the Li family...

However, in the future, Feili can work with Fugui and others to bully Xiao Qi and Xiao Jiu.

Gaga, I don’t know if a girl from the Li family will be able to marry in the future. Who would dare to marry?

After half an hour of phone calls from the Kadoorie family to make arrangements, Li Xing came out and found Old Roland and Mi Gao: "Grandpa Roland and Uncle Mi Gao, what other high-quality properties do you think are worth acquiring now?"

Learning humbly from experts is the best way to keep moving forward.

Old Roland smiled when he heard this and said: "There are many high-quality industries now. We all believe that the mainland will respect Hong Kong Island's system and remain unchanged for fifty years. Under this premise, the unique and scarce resources are naturally the most precious. Tang Yuan, your father has left you an extremely wonderful situation. With a large amount of dollars in hand, you can win this card no matter how you play it. You must know the China Gas Company, right?"

Li Xing said in surprise: "The Li Zhaoji family acquired it from Jardine Matheson in 1973..."

The market of Jardine Matheson made it clear to old Mike that the market was falling all the way, and HSBC took various measures to cultivate cronies.

Old Roland shook his head and said: "He only acquired 20%, 30% is circulating in the market, the Li family has 30%, and the other 20% is scattered in the hands of other small shareholders. Wait. Tangyuan, your family has a good relationship with the Li family. Ask your mother to come forward and talk to Li Xiao and his wife. If your mother can't do it, call your father back immediately. He will definitely be able to do it. "

Li Xing: "..."

Mi Gao also chuckled twice. Old Roland was too exhausted to joke. He continued: "After discussing Lijia's shares, quietly contact other small shareholders one by one. Don't be afraid of trouble. At the same time, eat in the stock market. Enter the China Gas stocks. Then there is the dock... Let Michael talk to you about this. I am getting old and need to rest."

Li Xing hurriedly helped old Luolan back to the bedroom to rest, and said with concern: "Grandpa Luolan, if you really feel bad, please call me immediately and I will ask my father to come back. I know you are a very strong person. But in front of life, we should be in awe, right?"

Lying on the bed, Old Roland smiled and nodded: "OK, if I really feel bad, I won't be polite to you. Tangyuan, you are a good boy."

……

“Three thousand years of reading history are all about fame and fortune.”

"Ninety thousand miles to enlightenment, and finally to the land of poetry and wine."

In the Li Family Courtyard in Lijiazhuang, Wang Shixiang praised Li Yuan with great care as he carefully made a golden-red and fragrant nine-turn large intestine on the earthen stove.

Today, Li Yuan specially invited Mr. and Mrs. Wang Shixiang and Mr. Zhu Jiasu, plus an uninvited Qi Gong, to gather old friends.

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Brother Wang, it's useless even if you boast..." Then he said to Nineteen Li Chang who was standing aside waiting: "Go, give it to your grandparents to eat, this stew is soft and glutinous Mellow and delicious.”

Li Chang happily took it with both hands and sent it inside.

Eighteen-year-old Li Yuan is now being punished because he is too arrogant. He has to work as a sanitation cleaner in the unit and clean the entire unit. He is not allowed to show up at home.

This is definitely a heavy blow to Li Yuan, who relies solely on his family's support to live freely outside.

After the second pot came out of the oven, Wang Shixiang couldn't wait to take a bite. He seemed to be on the verge of becoming an immortal, and he was full of praise.

After Zhu Jiazhu and Qigong tasted it, they also praised it one after another.

Li Yuan smiled happily, cleaned the pot and continued to cook the next dish: steamed pork ribs.

Qi Gong looked at Li Yuan who was immersed in it and kept cooking carefully, and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, it's rare for such a big family fortune to be able to sink and stay alive."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't tell me, what I'm most worried about is that I will drift away and forget about this human fireworks."

Zhu Jiaxin and Wang Shixiang looked at each other and smiled, and said: "I didn't expect that when I just heard about the strange doctor in Nanluogu Lane and went to seek medical treatment for Wanhua, I would meet such an interesting old friend. I didn't expect that, brother. You will cut it off halfway, and your relationship will be better."

Wang Shixiang laughed loudly and said: "This kid is very narrow-minded. Do you think I want to get along with him? He has so many good things in his hands that were taken away from me. Every year when Xiao Yuan and I celebrate our birthdays, he collects them. A toy that was lost in the past. Maybe it was a fire-painted gourd, or a painting by Xiao Yuan. As for us, we still had to take the foreign exchange coupons he gave us and walk around various friendship shops in Sijiu City to buy and exchange good goods for him. . Not only did we have a lot of fun, he also received good things. There was nothing we could do, he was so caught with bait that we couldn’t even be friends.

But Yuanzi, don’t give it away in the future, as long as you know that the things are not destroyed at your place. After sending them over again, I didn’t have any space to put them, and now there are only two small rooms, which are full of them. "

Li Yuan put the Dongpo elbows on the stove next to him into a plate. It had the strong flavor of the elbows, as well as the fresh aroma of bamboo shoots and shiitake mushroom slices. It made the three gourmets' eyes wide open. Unfortunately, the first plate still had to be served first. To Li Yuan’s parents...

Li Yuan said during the second round: "Buy a house! Since 1979, the government has promoted the sale of public housing several times. This year, it has launched a 'three-three system' pilot, and 27 provinces across the country have sold public housing. The government has announced For one-third of the money, the unit contributes one-third, and the individual only contributes one-third. I don’t know what the people think, but they are unwilling to spend the one-third, and they can’t push it to the death. When it comes to farmers buying It’s fine if you can’t afford it, but how can city workers not afford it? I still can’t wrap my head around it.”

Wang Shixiang was dissatisfied: "I own a house, why should I buy a house? It is the tenants who occupy my house who want to buy it!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "You have been smart and generous all your life, but you are now stubborn. If you are really cruel, force those people to leave. With your connections and background, is it difficult to do it? Find someone to give them a unit. Say hello and move very quickly. You can't bear it and are stubborn, so why bother? I say, take this opportunity and buy a house quickly."

Zhu Jiaxin shook his head and said: "It's not about money, it doesn't make sense."

This is the point of the literati. They feel that their home has been occupied by others. Now it is legally returned, but now they have to spend money to buy another place to live. How can they understand this?

For people like them, it doesn't matter if they live in a miserable place, but if they don't understand their thoughts, it's simply worse than killing them.

When did Wang Shixiang think of it?

After his wife passed away, he suddenly realized that he sold all his collections and bought a house...

Zhu Jiazhu simply lived in that small room of about twenty square meters for the rest of his life, and even created eight scenes to enjoy himself.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, then you two can think about it slowly. But I have taken over Jiuye's Mansion. You guys have to help me advise and give advice on how to restore the original charm and restore the original charm." We can live comfortably. There are too many people in the family, and the yard can’t fit in the back.”

Qi Gong looked a little sad and said with emotion: "In the past forty years, our country has spread over three thousand miles of mountains and rivers. The phoenix pavilions and dragon towers reach the sky, and the jade trees and branches are used as cigarettes. How many times have we ever seen war? Once we become a captive, we will sink our waists." Spend time on your temples.

On the most hasty day of farewell to the temple, the temple still played a farewell song and cried to the palace maid. "

When Li Yuan and the other three heard the sound, they laughed unkindly.

They knew why Qi Gong suddenly recited such sad poems, because the Jiuye Mansion bought by Li Yuan was also called Prince Fu's Mansion, formerly known as Prince Yi's Mansion.

It is the prince's palace of the descendants of Yinxiang, the thirteenth emperor of the Kangxi Dynasty.

And Qi Gong's surname is Aixinjueluo.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Yuanbai, you are not in the right place. Shouldn't you recite: There was an east wind in the small building last night, and the motherland cannot bear to look back in the moonlight. The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed? Or, In the old days, the king's swallow in front of the hall could fly into the homes of ordinary people."

Zhu Jiazhu broke the news and said: "He is the fifth son of Yongzheng and the eighth generation grandson of Prince Hongzhou. He is not even close to the Jiuye Mansion!"

Wang Shixiang said with a smile: "After Xianfeng's death, Cixi removed the eight ministers Gu Ming and ordered Prince Yi to commit suicide. In the third year of Tongzhi, this house was given to Prince Yi of Fu County. Because he was the ninth son of Daoguang, the people often called it Jiuye's Mansion. .”

Qi Gong said: "I didn't expect that the Zhengfu would even sell this palace. There are not many well-preserved palaces in Sijiu City."

Fuwang Mansion covers a total area of ​​4.4 square meters, with a north-south central axis of nearly meters and five courtyards.

It is also because the reform is short of foreign exchange funds and is going crazy. Otherwise, if it is delayed two years, it will be designated that no royal residence of this scale will be sold again.

Li Yuan spent 10 million US dollars to get it done.

In terms of pure appreciation, this transaction is not a good investment.

If you buy land in Hong Kong Island or Pengcheng for US$10 million, the value will rise many times in the future.

But some things cannot be discussed solely in terms of money.

The rich man likes...

Li Yuan explained with a smile: "The number of people in my family is increasing. They came back for the New Year the year before last. There was no room for them. Several of the children even stayed at relatives and neighbors' houses for a few nights. This year, real estate was liberalized, so I simply bought a house. set."

Qi Gong smiled and said: "As expected, you are rich! Well, we will restore a real palace for you!"

Wang Shixiang said: "After the house is tidied up, there will be room for the antiques and furniture collected for you. Yuanzi, if you have money, you might as well build a basement like the British Museum and put those treasures there." It’s safe. If you don’t take good care of it, it won’t last for many years.”

After Li Yuan took out the last dish of braised sea cucumber with green onion, he called his old friend into the house for dinner and said: "I'll leave these to you. If you need any materials, just ask my nephew to run errands. I'm in charge of these things." not much."

Wang Shixiang's wife, Yuan Quanyou, smiled and said, "Xiao Li must be busy with something big, right?"

Li Yuan laughed and said: "It's really not the case. I usually read a lot and cook a lot, so I'm busy with these two things. Aunt Yuan, Brother Wang won't listen to my advice no matter what. Please listen to my advice and buy a house. It's in the hands of the public." There are a lot of complete courtyard houses for sale now. Buy them quickly. The one you can move in is enough to live in. It is better than now. In the next two years, when policies are tightened, public housing will no longer be an option. Not only did I buy Jiuye Mansion, Shenghai also bought Lilac Garden, which was a property purchased by Li Hongzhang back then. I bought it as a gift to my wife. Oops, Brother Wang is still not romantic enough."

He was not hoarding a house, he simply promised Qin Daxue that he would buy her an old bungalow in Shenghai.

I haven’t told her yet, but look for a chance to surprise her.

After Yuan Quanyou glanced at Wang Shixiang, he shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, as long as the room is enough, we are still used to living in Fangjiayuan Courtyard."

Li Yuan won't say any more, people are happy.

Qi Gong suddenly suggested: "Jiuye's mansion has more than 70 acres of land. The middle courtyard has five entrances and hundreds of rooms. It is enough for living. For the east and west courtyards, it is better to follow the rules of "A Dream of Red Mansions" How about renovating the Inner Grand View Garden?”

Li Yuan laughed and said: "I would like to, but the government won't let it. After all, it is a historical and cultural relic house. It is only allowed to be renovated, and no large-scale demolition or construction is allowed! Why do you suddenly think of "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Qi Gong smiled and said: "I have a friend who is a CCTV director named Wang Fulin. He has always wanted to make a "Dream of Red Mansions" a few years ago. In the past two years, we have held many seminars and it is almost settled. Ji Huang and I They are all the preparatory team and advisory committee members... If you can build it like this here, you can save a lot of money."

Li Yuan started thinking: "I can set up a film and television industry company. You go and choose the site, negotiate the land for construction, and I will fund the construction. I happen to have a TV station on Hong Kong Island, so we might as well co-produce it." "

Zhu Jiazhu looked down upon him: "What do Hong Kong people know about "Dream of Red Mansions"? Their TV series is being filmed while it is being broadcast, one film a month. We can't film like this. Before filming, we have to hold a class and invite a master of Red Mansions to give lectures. This drama , I plan to film it for two or three years."

Qi Gong said: "The main reason is that the people of Hong Kong think highly of themselves and may find it difficult to cooperate."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "I will fight in person, who dares to fry wings?"

Wang Shixiang said suspiciously: "Brother, you are still taking charge of the battle yourself... Do you want to film "Dream of Red Mansions", or do you want to see Jin Chai?"

Li Yuan said angrily: "Am I that kind of person? Brother Wang, these words of yours really hurt my heart. They are such an insult to my character!" As soon as these words came out, not to mention Wang Shixiang, even Yuan Quanyou and Zhu Jiashu's wife Zhao The ladies burst into laughter.

But Li Yuan said it again: "When you are waiting for the casting, you must wait for me. I really have to see it in person."

Qigong looked at Zhu Jiaxin and said, "It won't be until the end of next year at the earliest, right?"

Zhu Jiazhu said with a smile: "If we can cooperate with Hong Kong Island TV and the conditions are more favorable, it is estimated that it can start in the middle of next year."

Li Yuan snapped his fingers and said, "I'll take care of this."

The four great classics are so interesting, but you can’t miss any of them.

……

In the blink of an eye, October.

After giving Qin Daxue an unforgettable birthday, she embarked on a journey of overcoming obstacles again.

We are really overcoming obstacles. The reason why policies were suddenly tightened this year is because a large number of internal personnel of state-owned enterprises are reselling planned materials, which has reached the point of affecting production tasks and has to be done.

First we severely cracked down on the "buyers", now it's time to deal with the "sellers".

After walking around this circle, I don’t know how many heads will be chopped off.

Those moths should be unlucky, the problem won't be big in two years, no matter what happens, they can't lose their lives...

But now, even if the sentence is lighter this year, he will basically be dragged out for target shooting next year.

You have to eat peanuts to steal a hat, let alone people like them?

I wonder if Qin Daxue will be known as the female King of Hell after this trip...

Li Yuan stayed in the capital for another month. On weekdays, he would either go to Zhao Yehong's house to chat with his master, or talk to some old friends, wandering around in various well-known alleys like an alley boy.

Seeing that it was almost December, he was still happy and reluctant to miss the holidays. He was not in a hurry, but others were.

"Dad, Grandma Cao invites you to go to the flower hall tomorrow."

Li Yuan was making meatballs for his parents in the Li family courtyard in Qinjiazhuang. His son Zhiguo came back to Qinjiazhuang to spread the word.

Tomorrow is Sunday, which coincides with the weekend holiday.

Li Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, "I understand."

Zhiguo looked at his father and asked curiously: "Dad, do you know something?"

He has been observing Li Yuan's movements, playing around every day, eating, drinking and having fun.

Zhiguo is very curious, does his father still remember the business...

Li Yuan looked back at his son and laughed and scolded: "You brat, what don't I know? Zhiguo, do you think Gu Gu will always ask about everything down to the smallest detail?"

Li Zhiguo was anxious to answer when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, Fang slowly shook his head and said: "No, Grandpa Gu only focuses on the overall strategy. Grandma Cao said that when the Prime Minister was here, she once praised Grandpa Gu for his courage. Can lift a heavy weight with ease.”

Li Yuan smiled and said: "When doing things, especially when doing big things, you must not imitate Zhuge Kongming. No matter how big or small everything is, you will care about everything and ask questions about everything. That will exhaust you to death. Just grasp the main points and the core. At that point, you can let others use their talents. On this point, your eldest brother is studying seriously, but unfortunately it is not yet in place. He is not yet confident about the ability of the people below him to do things. There is a guy named Li Jiacheng in Hong Kong Island , you must know?"

Zhiguo nodded, and Li Yuan said with a smile: "Although this guy doesn't have a decent butt, he is definitely a top-notch businessman. Whether it is strategic vision or layout methods, he is top-notch. He has one characteristic. Each meeting will never last more than forty-five minutes. Usually, it will be completed in a short time. List the general issues one by one, and then hand them over to professional subordinates, who will do their best. He doesn’t care how to do it. He only looks at the results, which is called doing things with ease.

Of course, your dad and I are more advanced than him. I didn't even point out the problem, leaving it all to your elder brother to handle. I just clicked twice on the key nodes. "

Zhiguo Ren smiled and said: "But if you don't personally participate, how will you know where the key nodes are?"

Li Yuan clicked his tongue and said: "This is where the master's skill lies. What is a key node? A point that involves a turning point in the company's destiny is called a key node. Generally speaking, a company starts from scratch. Then to growth, and finally to decline, a total of three or five key nodes will be faced, certainly not more than ten. As for how to know where these points are...you must read more, observe more, and experience more, so that you can understand the world. The general trend is in my heart. You and your brother still have a lot to learn? You brat, you still dare to look down on me!"

"Haha, I didn't!"

Li Zhiguo will never admit it.

After the father and son were noisy for a while, Li Yuan picked up the newly cooked pork with sand and said: "Let's go and have a meal with my grandparents. Dad is going back to Hong Kong Island soon. Do you want to go to Hong Kong with San Bo and the others this year? Celebrate the New Year on the island? There is a 100% chance that my mother will come back for the New Year this year.”

Zhiguo shook his head and said: "I'd better forget it. You are not at home, and my mother is not at home either. I still have to go to so many elderly people's homes to pay New Year's greetings."

Li Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, but he didn't know whether this boy really wanted to pay New Year's greetings to the old man, or he was just too sophisticated to make connections.

But when you think about it, it's not a shameful thing, because what governs the country respects his true heart and his way.

The rules on that road are what they are, and governing the country is just about following those rules.

Nothing wrong with that.

……

The next day, the flower hall.

Seeing the arrival of Li Yuan and his son, Mr. Cao was quite happy and asked the staff to pour tea.

Song Yun is also there, and her son Zhao Xiaojun is also there.

Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Li Yuan, Zhao Xiaojun smiled slightly unnaturally, but he quickly adjusted his perspective. After greeting Li Yuan, he enthusiastically established a relationship with Zhi Guo.

Li Yuan ignored him. Zhao Xiaojun, who has a brain the size of a walnut, wants to bully and coax the country. Emmm... I wish him good luck.

Mr. Cao asked Li Yuan, "Has Xiaoxue called back?"

Li Yuandao: "I called back last week and said that the job was very difficult and I didn't want to do it anymore..."

"Bullshit!"

Mr. Cao couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiao Li, please pay attention to what you say."

Song Yun also laughed and said: "You are really good! You dare to run trains anywhere!"

How could they believe that Qin Daxue would say such a thing?

Li Yuan laughed and said: "Maybe I heard it wrong... But Mr. Cao, this job is really hard to do... Since ancient times, officials who offended people like this were eventually pushed out and killed. People are angry."

Mr. Cao gave him a disgusted look and said, "That's the feudal dynasty, not New China! Don't say such things in the future."

Li Yuan nodded and smiled: "Okay, okay, I will kill whoever bullies her in the future."

Mr. Cao's expression suddenly changed, and Song Yun and Zhao Xiaojun were also shocked.

Can this be said here?

Mr. Cao said seriously: "You still think you're not high-profile enough, do you? You have to have people watching behind you wherever you go to be happy? Xiaoxue can sit upright and stand upright, who would bully her? Or do you think I'm old and useless? , Can’t even keep such a good cadre?”

Li Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "No, no, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for your care for our family. Isn't this just a precaution... Don't think that I don't know anything. Many voices say that she is The remnants of that kind of thing were too cruel. I just endured it and didn’t want to cause trouble for Daxue, otherwise..."

Mr. Cao didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, and said bluntly: "Stop talking! Go back to Hong Kong Island quickly. If you don't do business, just wander around like an alley guy all day long. It's almost a joke! Besides, there is a faint feeling on Hong Kong Island. There are some signs of instability. The stock index dropped from more than 1,800 points to more than 600 points, and there were hundreds of people jumping off buildings. Under the guidance of thoughtful people, resentment against the mainland is getting heavier and heavier. This cannot continue. of."

Li Yuanqi said: "Our family has acquired Hong Kong Electric, China Gas and several port berths. Mr. Huo found our boss and hoped to help Dong Chuanwang's family tide over the difficulties. Our family also invested in shares to help. Not idle."

Mr. Cao said: "It's not enough. You have to release some exciting news. Xiao Li, you have always responded to every request on the mainland. If you want land, give land, and if you want good policies, give good policies. Even CCTV This kind of communication field used to be a restricted area, but it is now open to you. I am not saying this as a favor, I just want to tell you that the family really treats you as one of their own."

Li Yuan saw how powerful the old lady was, and surrendered with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't worry, I will call when I get home and ask my son to announce that Datang Group will invest 20 billion in cash into the market, and is resolutely optimistic about the future of Hong Kong Island." ! If you buy properties in the property market, you will also sweep up a large number of goods on the stock market in an effort to increase the stock price."

Mr. Cao said with a satisfied smile: "That's right! But don't call me, just go back. Aren't you still doing medical experiments? Look how long you've been delayed."

Li Yuan insisted: "Daxue told me to come and visit you more often."

Mr. Cao smiled and said, "You can just come and see me when you are in charge of the country."

Hearing this, Li Yuan was completely speechless and sighed.

It actually makes people dislike it like this...

Zhiguo burst out laughing. Mr. Cao waved Zhiguo over to him, patted his arm and lovingly warned him: "You can't learn from your father's good things, but you can't learn from your laziness."

Li Yuan suddenly looked back at Zhao Xiaojun, narrowed his eyes and smiled. This grandson almost scared his soul away, his face was as white as snow...

Song Yun saw it and said anxiously: "Why are you scaring the child?"

Li Yuandao: "He scolded me."

Song Yun was startled and looked at Zhao Xiaojun.

Zhao Xiaojun was stunned. He hesitated and did not dare to admit it, but under Li Yuan's gaze, he did not dare to shake his head.

I was extremely doubting myself. Did I really curse out loud just now?

Song Yun almost lost her temper when she saw her son like this. Even though she loved the child no matter how much she loved him, she went up and "smacked" her son twice...

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Sister Yun, sister Yun, forget it, maybe I heard wrong."

Zhao Xiaojun finally came to his senses and said, "Mom, I really didn't curse!"

Song Yun was stunned when she heard this, and then glared at Li Yuan angrily. However, she saw Li Yuan helplessly sighing up to the sky, and then Zhi Guo said with a chuckle: "Aunt Yun, Brother Xiaojun said he didn't scold, not that he didn't scold."

When Song Yun heard this, her face turned blue and white, and then she turned around and started beating him.

This time I tried really hard, I was almost pissed off by this beast!

Li Yuan turned around, overjoyed.

Mr. Cao stared at him for a long time and confirmed again: "I'll leave tomorrow."

Obviously, all his skills are used to promote narrowness!

……

Hong Kong Island.

Taiping Peak, Taipan Mansion.

Shen Bi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with an ugly expression, overlooking the night view of Victoria Harbor, but he felt very uncomfortable.

In the living room, those who were equally uncomfortable were Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji and the chartering king, Xu Shixun.

Among them, Li Jiacheng's thoughts are the most infuriating.

Originally, I thought that the Li family of the Tang Dynasty had lost their minds and wanted to take a gamble like a gambler.

I didn't expect that Chen Cang would be tricked by building a plank road openly and secretly...

Fortunately, they also mobilized a group of hot money to prepare for a sniper attack on the Li family.

As a result, Mao didn't even wait. Not only did they pay a large amount of interest on the hot money, but the Li family made a lot of money from the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar.

If they just accepted it, who would have known that this despicable and sinister family would actually engage in bargain hunting!

It’s not that Li Jiacheng and the others are unreasonable, but that since Shen Bi became the head coach of HSBC, they were the only ones who benefited from every stock market crash in Hong Kong, and their behavior of bargain hunting was inhumane.

Now, a predator has arrived, which has greatly affected their interests.

The Hong Kong Electric and several docks that Li Jiacheng valued were taken away. Li Zhaoji was even more aggrieved. In 1973, he fell in love with China Gas, which he had been waiting for the opportunity for. Half of the duck's butt was eaten in his mouth for almost ten years. Duck The smell of shit was all gone, but it turned around overnight. The Li family was ungrateful and sold China Gas to Datang.

Both the chartering king and Xu Shixun were from the shipping king family. They sold most of the ships before the shipping winter, but sold them to the Dong family at a high price.

It was originally hoped that this wave of low prices would be recovered, not only to earn the price difference, but also to reorganize the shipping business.

Unexpectedly, the Li family of Tang Dynasty and the Huo family intercepted Hu...

Damn it, they originally wanted to attack the Li family of Tang Dynasty and seize the Longhu Pharmaceutical Factory.

Unexpectedly, after planning for more than two years, in the end, everyone exploded, not just one person, but everyone exploded horribly!

"Daban Shen, what should we do now?"

Xu Shixun asked unwillingly: "Otherwise, we will break the pot and make Hong Kong Island completely empty!!"

If these companies start selling on a large scale, the already fragile stock and property markets will collapse in an instant.

Countless middle class people who have spent generations buying properties, no, not to mention the middle class, even the rich will suffer heavy losses or even go bankrupt.

Countless investors have suffered huge losses, and countless companies have gone bankrupt. Hong Kong Island will be in chaos by then!

Before Shen Bi could speak, Li Jiacheng categorically denied: "Don't be ridiculous, most of Hong Kong Island's resources are still in our hands. Do you think the Li family of Tang Dynasty will care if it goes bankrupt? They are originally from the mainland, and they can't wait to leave the mainland." If there is trouble, they will send troops directly to deal with it.”

Li Zhaoji also nodded and said: "Barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes, but we who wear shoes are afraid of bare feet. We must not give them a chance to send troops, and we must negotiate a peace. Otherwise, everything will be lost."

Xu Shixun said dissatisfied: "But the Li family of Tang Dynasty really bullied people too much!"

Li Jiacheng pushed the frame and said: "We don't only have one chance. I firmly believe that they will not have such a good opportunity next time. By then, everything lost today will be gained again!"

Shen Bi turned around and said: "Tomorrow, you will announce the rescue plan. Li, you will announce the 10 billion rescue plan. The citizens are very resentful now, and this is the best time to win the hearts and minds of the people! Then I will let the newspapers report the news. In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family took advantage of the situation and cooperated with the mainland to loot the wealth of Hong Kong Island. Bao and Xu, you take more land and office buildings. What Li said is right, Hong Kong Island is still ours. What we lost today will not take too long. I’ll take it all back! They can get away with it once, twice, but they can’t get away with it a third time!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the secretary called and asked Shen Bi to watch TV.

Xu Shixun went to turn on the TV, and the group saw Li Xing's young and exaggerated face that they were already familiar with facing the camera in the TVB evening news program, announcing that the Li family of the Tang Dynasty would invest 20 billion to revitalize Hong Kong. Island economy!

I hope that the citizens of Hong Kong Island can work together to protect our common home!

"Snapped!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Bi threw the cup in his hand to the ground and cursed loudly.

PS: Another day, come on!
