If you have seen the floods rise on the Yangtze River embankment, it is difficult to understand how the word collapse was created.

The weather was extremely hot and the tide was extremely high. The waves slapped the dam hard, as if it was a ferocious beast that had just been trapped in the cage, and was about to struggle to rush out.

If it really breaks out, it means that the lives and property of tens of millions of people downstream will suffer huge losses. Although the economic achievements of the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River cannot be said to be destroyed, the blow will definitely be heavy, and the direct economic losses to the country will exceed 300 billion.

This situation is absolutely impossible, so when the Jiujiang Dike was facing a crisis of collapse, Fan Heng decided that the Jiangnan Dike would have to bear a greater impact and start to discharge the flood when the flood peak arrived.

The central government approved Fan Heng's decision, and Boss Zhu went to Jiujiang to inspect the dike again to encourage the fight against the flood.

Fan Heng returned to Jiangnan Province and began to arrange various matters for flood diversion and discharge.

Fan Wubing personally rushed to Bailu Mountain and Shui Reservoir and arranged staff to make necessary arrangements to clean up the surroundings of the reservoir to avoid any unpredictable accidents during flood discharge.

In Fan Wubing's impression, it seems that every large-scale flood discharge incident will more or less cause some accidents. In the previous flood discharge areas, there were people who had not had time to evacuate and encountered dangers. This time, the Bailushan Reservoir was the first time to store water and divert floods. The mountainous areas on both sides needed to be inspected one after another to ensure that there was no obstacle. If someone was moving on the mountain, it would be troublesome.

Fan Wubing didn't want more people to come out in his reservoir. A few floating corpses and a few unjust souls, so he specially arranged several helicopters to take off to inspect the mountains on both sides, and arranged staff to be on duty on the top of the mountain, and reserved life-saving equipment such as inflatable raft life jackets and ropes to avoid such a situation, but his own people were helpless.

It was soon midnight, the moon was hanging high, and the water began to rise. Fan Heng and others came to the embankment to fight the battle and exploded the passage leading to the Bailushan Reservoir. The surging river water immediately rushed into the two-kilometer waterway on one side. I saw white waves surging, and the huge roar was as terrifying as if it had broken the embankment.

When the people on the dam saw this scene, most of them were shocked. Many timid people were a little unsteady and grabbed the iron chains on the side and lowered their center of gravity. However, they did not want to miss this rare scene, and they felt very conflicted.

Fan Heng looked at the scene and said with some uncertainty, "There won't be any problem with Fan Wubing, right?"

Seeing Bai Lang rushing down, Fan Heng was a little worried that the huge impact would destroy Bai Lushan Reservoir.

A water conservancy expert explained next to him, "Nothing will happen. Not to mention that the people who designed the Bailushan Reservoir are all top water conservancy designers in China, and the materials they selected are the best. Just say that when the surging water reaches the reservoir area, the terrain will suddenly open up. Once the water flow disperses, the momentum will not be so big. Moreover, the Bailushan Reservoir is built along the mountain, and six reservoir areas are progressing layer by layer, and the water has long been resolved and turned into a peaceful water storage."

Fan Heng nodded and felt a little calmer.

The Yangtze River flood peak has reached a hundred miles away. As soon as we say it, the entire flood discharge channel has been completely opened, and a huge amount of flood water pours into the flood discharge channel continuously, and instantly enters a reservoir area of ​​Bailushan Reservoir.

Fan Wubing was watching here, but was shocked by the surging white waves rushing towards him.

When the flood passed under the gate, Fan Wubing, who was standing on the gate of the dam, suddenly felt layers of mist rising under his feet. The entire reservoir area was originally not angry, but suddenly it turned into a shimmering view.

However, the Bailushan Reservoir Area is too large. Although the water in the flood discharge channel is very large, the bottom has not been soaked when it is distributed in the huge reservoir area.

The water storage in this reservoir area will probably take more than a whole day to complete. In the next few days, in the plan of the General Administration of China, the flood discharge will be completed before the three reservoir areas will stop. That is to say, within three days, most of the incremental water volume of this flood peak will be consumed in the Bailushan Reservoir.

Seeing that Bian'er had no idea, the staff left to observe the situation here, so he took a bus to the other side of the embankment to see if there were any major changes in the water level.

However, after going there, I found that the water level was still rising slowly, but the speed and height of the rise were within the limit of psychological endurance, and finally achieved the goal.

Cheers suddenly erupted on the dam, and everyone was celebrating the flood diversion of Bailushan Reservoir. Fan Heng was also very happy and asked the staff to prepare wine and food to celebrate the soldiers on the embankment. Just as everyone was celebrating, the monitoring post on Jiujiang sent a message, and an emergency report said that due to long-term high water level soaking, the embankment capacity was severely reduced.

"What do Boss Zhu have any opinions? What do the experts say?" Fan Heng asked.

"Boss Zhu did not make any statement, but experts believe that the water level must be kept from rising anymore. If the water level rises by 50 centimeters, the Jiujiang Dike will completely collapse." The person there replied.

Fan Heng hesitated for a while, then consulted the experts around him, "As for what it is, how long will it take to rise to fifty centimeters?"

After estimating for a while, the experts said, "If it is as it is now, it will rise to this position in two days, but the impact of the flood peak will probably last about three days."

Now that happens, the problem is serious again.

In two days, the water level of the Jiujiang River Dike will exceed the danger warning line and the dike will collapse at any time. If you want to solve this problem, you must lower the water level. Just based on the current flood discharge speed of Bailu Mountain, it cannot meet the requirements.

"If it doesn't work, you need to walk on both legs. When the water level rises to the danger cordon, release the flood through the flood discharge area." Experts suggested.

However, if you want to discharge the flood through the flood discharge area, the impact of Jiangnan Province will be great. Fan Heng was a little hesitant for a moment and it was difficult to make a decision. He also knew that Boss Zhu did not make a statement, which means he was also aware that the impact of this matter was significant, so he could not make a decision. After all, it was a bit unreasonable to let Jiangnan Province bear the losses of the flood discharge in order to protect Jiujiang.

Originally, the places in Jiangnan Province were foolproof. If it were not for helping Jiujiang relieve stress, there would be no need to use the Bailushan Reservoir to divert floods. If there were any requirements for Jiangnan Province and they had to bear the losses again, what would the people of Jiangnan Province think?

Fan Wubing rushed over and saw that the people on the dam were depressed. His father Fan Heng also picked up a cigarette, held it and didn't suck it, frowned. Obviously something big happened, so he asked, "What's wrong, it's a big deal."

"The flood diversion is very good, but Jiujiang can't hold on anymore." Fan Heng shook his head, told his son about the situation there, and then said, "If it doesn't work, there is only one way to discharge the flood in the flood discharge area. After all, the flood discharge here is not very important, but if they want to discharge the flood there, a lot of fertile fields will be flooded."

Fan Wubing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Is this OK? I carefully looked at the water level of the flood discharge channel on the road. It was not high. If we expand the gate between the embankment and the flood discharge channel and increase the water level of the flood discharge channel, so that the drainage can be increased, then the problem of water level increase downstream can be solved."

"Although this is OK, the three sub-reservoirs are not enough. If we come to the flood peak again, we will have nowhere to release floods and we will have to use the flood discharge area." said the water conservancy expert.

Fan Wubing thought about it and said that this was probably the last flood peak this year, and the water level began to drop later, which was not enough to worry about. So he said decisively, "The current situation cannot be solved, so why should we care about the future? It is the most urgent thing to arrange earthworks quickly and expand the entrance."

Fan Heng still trusted his son very much, so he immediately ordered to start arranging the expansion of capacity. The workers carefully installed the explosives in the drilled holes and then exploded in a directional manner.

As a result, it was indeed very effective. The water level in the flood discharge channel increased, the speed of flood discharge increased a lot, and the water level in the downstream stopped immediately.

Fan Wubing immediately arranged someone to notify the downstream reservoir area and asked them to open all six reservoir areas and inject water into them.

However, everyone immediately thought of a problem. Now, there are a big hole in the two sides of the flood discharge channel, and the entrance is expanded. What should I do when I stop the flood discharge when I fall?

"That's simple, just put down the gate and block it with something." Fan Wubing replied without hesitation, "It's much more difficult to do this than to discharge from the flood discharge area and is much safer."

Everyone thought about it, but many people felt a little distressed. The gate of the flood discharge channel was well repaired. When the central leaders came to inspect, they highly praised it, but now it was about to explode, which was a bit distressed.

However, Fan Heng also has a relatively unsighted view on this matter. Anyway, what is money? At such a critical moment, it is already the greatest blessing to be able to spend money to solve the problem.

After getting over the matter here, the Fan family and his son took a breath and informed Boss Zhu about the situation.

"Blow up the door?" After a while, Boss Zhu asked slowly.

"We must try to increase the flood discharge speed, so we have to do it like this and rebuild the floodgate after it is done." Fan Heng replied.

After a while, Boss Zhu said, "Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice a lot. When something happens here, I will definitely allocate special funds for you to repair the gate."

"That's not necessary. Jiangnan Province's finances are OK, and this is considered a disease-free repair. He will spend money to repair it himself." Fan Heng declined Boss Zhu's kindness.

"Well, let's talk about it then. I'm going to go back to the capital now." Boss Zhu was not very persistent. The two of them quickly ended the conversation without talking for a few words.

After putting down the phone, Fan Heng felt something was wrong. I don’t know why Boss Zhu was not in high spirits, and it didn’t make sense after thinking about it. The water level here has been controlled, so there is no problem there. Why are you still feeling depressed?

"What's wrong?" Fan Wubing came over and asked.

"I don't know, I'm not in high spirits." Fan Heng shrugged.

Fan Wubing patted his forehead and said, "The problem lies in the first three rows, and the root is still on the rostrum. I guess this is because of what's going on in Jiujiang. If you don't believe it, you can ask."

Fan Heng naturally believed it. If he hadn't seen something in Jiujiang again, Boss Zhu would not have been so unhappy. So he asked the people who stayed there in Jiangnan Province to inquire. Sure enough, something happened again in Jiujiang.

"This time, a major case was discovered, which was involved in a relatively high level and was related to the construction of the embankment." Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing.

"Look—what am I talking about?" Fan Wubing shook his head, looking as if he was expected.

Yes, the domestic earthwork is indeed worse, but the Yangtze River embankment is a century-old or a thousand-year plan, which is related to the lives and property safety of tens of millions of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. However, since the history of building embankments, there has never been a period of impregnation, which cannot help but make people sigh.

"We don't participate in this matter, just do our job well." Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing, "What I am worried about now is, if the flood peak comes next time, where should we release the flood?"

"Don't worry, the big flood peak is gone." Fan Wubing replied with great confidence.

"How can you be so sure?" Song Qing next to Fan Heng asked back with some disbelief.

Fan Wubing looked at her and replied, "I used to have a nickname, called Banxian."

After returning to the provincial government's dormitory, Fan Wubing and Fan Heng ate something, and then went back to his room to sleep. He was not awakened by the phone at noon the next day.

When I picked it up, it was a call from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Fan Wubing couldn't help but ask with a little depressed question, "What's wrong with this? Soros should have withdrawn from Hong Kong, right? What else can you do?"

However, the person in charge of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said in a vain that although Soros and others left, the stock market suddenly became popular without warning. The Hang Seng Index, which had been suppressed to 10,000 points, actually showed a rise again. It seemed that it had been sweeping goods these days, with a lot of money.

"The SAR government and the Monetary Authority both hope that the stock market will remain stable at present and should not have too large increases, otherwise it is very likely to trigger a new round of financial crisis." said the head of the Monetary Authority.

"This is right, but what does it have to do with me?" Fan Wubing rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked in confusion. He thought he had helped the Financial Administration and got Soros away. Now they have to find him to solve anything. Isn't it a bit of a primary and secondary relationship?

I am just an investor, not a lifesaving team, and there is no reason to stay in Hong Kong and wipe their tun department.

The other side said that what I discussed with Fan Wubing before was the issue of stock reduction. Now the stock market is just right for Fan Wubing to reduce his holdings. On the one hand, it will not affect his returns, but can also help the Financial Administration suppress the speculative force in the stock market and smash the Hang Seng Index.

After hearing this, Fan Wubing suddenly became a little angry. He had just finished his long position and wanted to be short for them again.

However, Fan Wubing thought about it and found that there would be no big chance in the future of Hong Kong stocks. If it could be withdrawn now, the returns should be good, but he is still a little unhappy now. Why do I do whatever you say?

"I will not withdraw if the Hong Kong stock market is less than 13,000 yuan." Fan Wubing immediately expressed his opinion.

"As it is now, it will be 13,000 tomorrow and the day after tomorrow-" said the Monetary Authority.

"Hiss--" Fan Wubing took a breath, thinking that he didn't expect that Hong Kong stocks would go crazy. Although they had risen well in the past, they were a small slow bull at that time, and they rose all the way. But now this kind of rise is not bullish, but cobras, which stood up all the time. It was very scary and easy to die.

This situation really requires you to come out and suppress it yourself. You can kill two birds with one stone. You can make money and sell a favor with the special zone. Why not do it?

So Fan Wubing touched his chin and thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, then let's try how big the other party's appetite is. If I can follow all my cards, I'd be a hero!"

Hong Kong is naturally very happy, no wonder. Although there are many local wealthy people in Hong Kong, everyone is very cautious in holding their own company's shares and is generally unwilling to sell them. Otherwise, it will not only lead to the loss of control of the company, but also create an illusion that a certain company is unable to do anything and major shareholders are starting to cash out. This will cause the company's stock price to plummet and affect their value.

Hong Kong people love face, so everyone has to set up a ranking of the top ten richest people every year to see who makes more money in the year and who was the biggest winner in the Hong Kong financial industry back then. Over time, they will become accustomed to it.

So many people say that the first few Hong Kong rich people live a frugal life. The first generation of Hong Kong rich people are basically diligent and cautious. The second generation of Hong Kong rich people are used to chasing actresses. After chasing them, they will be dumped and then replaced. By the third generation of Hong Kong rich people, they are already lacking in good faith. They basically rely on the statement that the Chinese are rich for three generations and have no achievements in their business. In fact, it is very perfect in them.

Because of this, everyone regards selling their own company's stocks as a very dangerous signal. Just like the saying that big landlords only had land and land, but did not have the habit of selling land, the truth is the same.

Therefore, Hong Kong people remembered Fan Wubing and begged him to reduce his holdings of stocks to suppress the Hang Seng Index, so as not to prevent another huge challenge from hearing Soros's storm.

After Fan Wubing agreed to the requirements of the SAR, he began to contact Hong Kong and inquire about relevant matters. The other party immediately stated that the Hong Kong stock market has been surging in the past few days, and no one can understand what is going on, so he chose to wait and see. Anyway, the current situation only has benefits but no harm to Fan's Investment Group, and there is no time to reduce its holdings at the moment.

"Then start reducing your holdings, pay attention to the market's ability to withstand it, and float slightly." Fan Wubing gave his subordinates a task goal, and then left his hands alone.

Fan Wubing is very relieved about the financial management team in Hong Kong, otherwise he would not ignore them all year round. He would only pay attention to them when necessary and fully recognize their C-disk capabilities.

However, Fan Wubing still thought this matter was a bit strange. How could a good market cause storm again? As the saying goes, there must be a cause, and there will be a result. There must be something unspeakable insider information. So Fan Wubing began to analyze the domestic and international economic situation, and found a problem. This time it was not the one who stirred up the storm, but the British financial capital that had been lurking in Hong Kong stocks for a long time.

As we all know, the British have been in Hong Kong for a hundred years. At the beginning of the Hong Kong stock market, British financial capital began to hype. Many people like Hong Kong, an unguarded market, which is free and unrestrained, which is much more convenient than when speculating in the UK. Because of its special status as an international free port, Hong Kong's economic development momentum has always been very good, especially as the only export of mainland China to the international community in decades, its status is particularly important.

It can be said that the decades of economic development history of Hong Kong is the history of suffering of mainland China being jointly contained by the Western Fang World to carry out economic blockade. This is basically an international consensus.

But now although Hong Kong has returned, there are more and more port cities that can open up in mainland China. The dependence of Hong Kong on the mainland is getting weaker and weaker, while the Hong Kong economy is getting stronger and stronger on the mainland. It is certain that simply relying on port trade, Hong Kong's economic decline is only a matter of time.
