Chapter 107 Untitled

In the winter of 1987, Zhao Shucheng stood on the Peninsula Hotel on Hong Kong Island, watching the scene of people coming and going below.

Chen Xueru was right beside him, looking down, and said, "Do you think our restaurant can also achieve this level?"

"Of course it's possible, but this is a brand that has been around for decades, and there are still many celebrities here for a long time, so if we want to do it, it will take years of operation."

"What are you doing this time? Don't tell me it's to see the kids, they're not here."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Chen Xueru and asked with a funny look: "Why, are you worried that I will cheat?"

"This is not sure. You made a big fuss last time. What Zhizhi or Minmin is, don't tell me it's okay."

"Ahem, I told you that it's just a show. You see, I didn't go home immediately after that."

Zhao Shucheng turned around and hugged Chen Xueru and comforted her.

"Then what are you doing this time?"

Chen Xueru didn't believe Zhao Shucheng's words. Her husband Hou Kui's father ran away with the mistress. Now she is old and has a bad mood. If Zhao Shucheng gets along with other women, her family will be broken up.

Zhao Shucheng is not for Minmin. Zhizhi came to Xiangjiang. It is now 1987, and the global stock market crash in October. Zhao Shucheng must have been involved, but in order to avoid being disobedient to accept his mistakes, he can only command nearby.

On September 22, in the conference room of the Plaza Hotel in New York, the newly appointed Agriculture Family Finance Minister James Baker convened a meeting between the finance ministers of Japan, West Germany, France and the British and the central bank governors. After 20 minutes, a joint statement was announced.

Zhao Shucheng knew that after this agreement, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen also changed from 1:260 in early 1985 to 1:120 in 1987. As early as two years ago, Zhao Shucheng converted all his money in the stock market and even in the business world over the years into Japanese yen. Now that all of them are exchanged for US dollars, his assets have more than doubled.

Chen Xueru didn't know that Zhao Shucheng had made so much money, so she thought Zhao Shucheng was visiting the mistress, so she followed her to Xiangjiang.

Zhao Shucheng looked at Chen Xueru and said, "This year is a global stock market crash. This is a crisis for ordinary people, but it is an opportunity for us."

"I don't understand these, but I heard that the stock market is very risky, so are you not afraid of losing money by yourself?"

"What's the matter? I never put eggs in a basket for investment. Some of Han Chunming's side are now expanding and developing. Amei's used car transactions are also part of it, and this part is now stable profitable. When problems may arise in the next period, but at worst, they will go bankrupt directly. It's enough to earn money by myself over the years."

"There is a part of the stock market and a part of the real estate invested in, which can be considered a business that is stable and profitable. Besides, these do not occupy our family's industries and pay them in time. Our family will not be damaged and will still develop well."

Zhao Shucheng said here, suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, how are our children? I didn't say when I will return to China?"

Chen Xueru said, "You still know how to care about the children. Hou Kui and the others will be back home recently, but Lixia and Jingtian will still have to graduate for half a year, so our fourth and fifth brothers will stay there for half a year."

"Okay, our youngest has never mentioned going abroad? He didn't see her dating?"

Chen Xueru said angrily: "You are still thinking about falling in love. Our youngest is not very close to your baby apprentice. Why don't you know?"

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Shucheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Advisor?"

"It's Han Chunming, your divorced apprentice. They are working in the same company now, and I heard that they are still applying for the job by themselves."

Zhao Shucheng asked, "Do you mean they are together? My apprentice didn't see me recently, and I thought he was very busy."

Chen Xueru said, "Yes, I'm very busy. I'm busy dating your daughter. I tell you, I don't agree. Your apprentice is much older than our daughter, so it's definitely not suitable."

"Don't worry, they definitely can't get together. Han Chunming and his ex-wife are still breaking up and getting back together, our daughter can't get in."

Chen Xueru gave Zhao Shucheng a blank look and said, "What age are you? They have separated from each other long ago. Su Meng is also in Hong Kong Island to take care of her uncle's business. Our daughter doesn't know what is wrong, so she stares at Han Chunming directly. The man chases the woman across the mountain, and the woman chases the man across the layer of yarn. They will be together."

Zhao Shucheng had no objection to this. If Han Chunming really could forget Su Meng, it would be a good choice to be with his daughter again.

"Forget it, let's not care. Han Chunming should be responsible. He will not act on his daughter before he is sure to fall in love with her."

The two of them stood quietly in front of the window, watching the traffic below, their thoughts kept flying.

"Dingling!"

The phone in the hotel room rang, and Zhao Shucheng quickly took it and asked, "Hello, who do you want?"

"Dad, I am Su Tian. Something happened to Aunt Xu's family. They went to do cross-trade trade. This time they were still transported fruits. Because the procedures were incomplete, they were directly placed on the station. When they encountered heavy rain, they were all reimbursed. The compensation was completely fine and they are now mortgaged their own things."

"You guys come back soon, there are so many people who need to pay."

Chen Xueru heard the news and asked, "Why? Their Sanqiuye Hotel also has a lot of money, so it should be able to turn around."

"I heard that my sister-in-law and brother misappropriated the money from the hotel to speculate on land. In order to build a real estate company, they borrowed a lot of money from outside. The construction site is under construction and they need a lot of money every day, and the hotel's cash is not enough."

Chen Xueru thought of something and asked, "Where are your elder brother and sister-in-law?"

"They have already gone to help, but they don't have much cash on hand, so they are not enough. They are trying to figure out a way now."

Chen Xueru thought for a while and said, "Okay, I understand. Let's think about what to do."

After she hung up the phone, she thought for a while, looked at Zhao Shucheng and asked, "What should I do? Are we still here? Or go back and take a look?"

Zhao Shucheng thought for a while and said, "We must go back and have a look. After all, we are a family now. The three girls in their family are all our daughters-in-law, so we must not ignore them. When the children find out, they will not become enemies with us."

"Forget it, the stock market situation is almost the same now. I sell it and take it back with cash. By the way, I use this money as the principal of real estate, so that Hou Kui's real estate company can develop better."

Although Zhao Shucheng said this, he only sold funds from the Hong Kong stock market, but the funds invested in Dongyang's real estate and even the stock market did not move, and they only waited until 1989 to sell them all. Although the Dongyang stock market would not explode in 1990, Zhao Shucheng did not want to wait until the end, so as not to become a buyer.

Zhao Shucheng and Chen Xueru packed up their things and took the deposit slip, which was called a plane returning to Sijiucheng.

Chen Xueru didn't think anything was wrong at first, but when she saw the deposit slip in Zhao Shucheng's hand, she saw the numbers on it and widened her eyes.

"Shucheng, do you really have so much money? Why do I feel so unreal? Our industry doesn't have that much money in total."

"This money comes quickly and goes quickly. When we make money, some people will lose money. You haven't seen many people jumping off the building along the way, they are all people who lose money in the stock market."

"Since it's so dangerous, don't trade stocks in the future, right?"

Zhao Shucheng said indifferently: "It's okay. As long as the property is distributed reasonably, the money in the stock market can be considered as value-preserving. However, it needs to be held for a long time, and you have to choose companies that can develop year-round so that you can make steady profits without losing money."

"If you want to speculate in short-term stocks and chase highs and lows, then it will definitely be very risky. However, most of our family's business is industrial, so the contribution is not that great."

When Chen Xueru heard Zhao Shucheng's words, she felt something was right. Her original enthusiasm for the stock market slowly disappeared with Zhao Shucheng's words.

However, she also asked some questions about company listing, thinking that using other people's money to develop her own business is actually a good way. However, she has no way to list her company yet, so she can only wait for the opportunity to talk about it later.

...

Four nine cities.

Xu Jingli looked at Hou Kui and asked, "Oh, are you talking about what I did so bravely?"

"You really find good words for yourself. Kyodao? You are reckless. If our parents are not in the capital, you can buy this land directly with the reserve of Sanqiuye, but we can't do anything about the second transaction now. Moreover, our parents lost their business this time and wanted to block this hole, unless my father and my mother helped, they could only sell the land to fill the hole."

Xu Jingli: "Don't hit me, it's useless to hit me. It's already like this now."

Hou Kui: "The women around you are all strong, which is too miserable. You, my mother, and your mother, are all such women."

Xu Jingli: "Do you regret it?"

"This is fate. But my brother Sutian told me that my parents have returned from Xiangjiang and should be able to help us solve the problem."

"That's so embarrassing. Besides, everyone who wants the account now has to go to the door of his home."

Hou Kui thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember Uncle Guan? It's the boss Guan who lent to our parents before and just wrote an IOU to pay for it?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"Su Tian told me that if we are really anxious about money, we can borrow some money from him and use my father's name."

"Uncle Zhao? Or Uncle Hou?"

"Of course it's my stepdad."

Xu Jingli followed Hou Kui to Boss Guan’s store in disbelief and told him that he wanted to borrow money.

Boss Guan said in embarrassment: "Jingli, it's not that you, Uncle Guan, don't talk about love, and you haven't paid back the previous debt."

Hou Kui said: "Uncle Guan, this time it was not Jingli's parents who borrowed money, but my parents who borrowed money."

Boss Guan asked curiously: "What are your parents?"

"Zhao Shucheng, my mother Chen Xueru."

"Old Zhao's son, why are your surname Hou? I said, you said it earlier, this money must be fine. It's because you don't have money. You can take the words written by your father, and this is money."

"Now Lao Zhao's calligraphy is rare, and only a dozen or twenty pieces are leaked every year, and the price is not low. We don't have to worry about repayment. If it really doesn't work, he can pay it back in one day."

Boss Guan said as he took out the check and asked, "How much are you going to borrow?"

"Borrow one million first."

Hou Kui said directly.
