The crisp sound of the piano floated in front of the Qingxin Hall. Chen Hongtao, who was sitting in the square in front of the vast hall, whirling his hands like a butterfly flying, agile and light.

The fingers stroked the strings of the piano, and the dingdong music spread far away, making the soul peaceful.

Seeing Chen Hongtao wearing a gray-white robe and pretending to be the literary style of an ancient scholar, his mind focused on his hands like flowing water. The four girls of Ji'er in the distance were even laughing so hard that they fell back and forth.

The beautiful music that pours all over the world is played, like a clear spring flowing, like a warm sun flowing down, giving people a very ethereal feeling.

Gradually, in this plain, hazy, harmonious and quiet piano music, Ji'er and the four girls also became quiet, as if immersed in the poetic and picturesque wonders outlined by the piano music.

As Chen Hongtao's spiritual power was activated, waves of musical ripples that were difficult for ordinary people to discover spread out like ripples, soft and slowly flowing.

At the end of the song, Wang Jinlan and the four girls were still silent in the sound of the piano like a clear spring in the deep mountains and the artistic conception of nature.

The sound of birds gathering became clear, and the vitality contained in the blooming of the mountains and flowing waters and flowers was even felt by Wang Jinlan and his women.

The sound of the piano is floating and riding on the wind and waves, conveying the spirit with the mind and moving people, concentrating and listening to the aftertaste, like the fine flow of the pine roots, its charm is melodious, as if the body and mind have been washed by the clear spring stream.

It took a long time for the four girls of Wang Jinlan to open their eyes. While feeling their bodies were refreshed, they looked at Chen Hongtao with a smile and a look of admiration.

"It's getting better and better!" Ji'er couldn't help but smile.

"That's natural. I'll be sour after all these nine years. Practice makes perfect." Chen Hongtao used his hand to touch the seven-strings of the guqin, and the sunny smile on his face looked like a stinky fart.

Wang Jinlan's beauty was touched with a hint of touch: "Actually, you don't have to stay in Campoz Island for a long time to accompany us. In the past nine years, the outside world has become much more prosperous..."

"The flowers bloom and fade, and it's better to have your Campoz Island. Since you plan to live a quiet life, why bother to intervene in the interests of the outside world?" Chen Hongtao lifted his robe and stood up with a plain and leisurely smile on his face.

"My parents will be back from Venice tomorrow. It must be for the Asian financial crisis." Fang Meiru got up and stretched out her arms, her lazy and graceful arc was fascinating.

Chen Hongtao took the tea brought by his maid and took a sip: "Now the national economy has gradually developed better and better. Even without me, it can still withstand the huge waves of international speculators against Hong Kong."

"I hope so, a financial storm has begun. I wonder how many people have destroyed their families!" Wang Jinlan sighed.

"I heard that this Asian financial crisis has even broken the rapid development of the Asian economy. The economies of some countries have begun to be depressed, and even the political situation has been in chaos. The Thai baht depreciated wildly some time ago. It was almost no less tragic than when the Soviet Union collapsed." Helen was like a couple chatting about family matters.

"There are reasons why those international speculators have focused their first target on Thailand. In recent years, Thailand's economy has developed too fast, but the economic structure is extremely unreasonable, and there are too many foreign debts. In the context of poor exports and single varieties and governments frequently have deficits, the primary financial market that opens too early has no ability to control supervision and risk control, which gives international speculators the opportunity to take advantage of. After all, the Thai government and national financial institutions are not experienced and passive in response." Chen Hongtao pointed his finger at the red-headed parrot on the bird stand and teased.

"Thailand's national economy is limited, its exchange rate is inflexible, and its foreign exchange reserves are even insufficient. It is defeated by international speculators. As the first goal, it is not resisting in the eyes of those international speculators, but it can achieve the goal of moving the whole body. With the sharp depreciation of the Thai baht, many foreign debts in Thailand began to default. A large number of companies went bankrupt, all of which allowed international speculators to acquire them at low prices. The fierceness of this wave of tsunami is even greater than that of the collapse of the Soviet Union's political and economic crisis. It was simply a thunderous force that forced it down!" Wang Jinlan sat on the exquisite embroidery pier and spoke calmly.

"Compared with Thailand, Hong Kong and South Korea's ability to resist financial shocks is undoubtedly much stronger. After the collapsed financial shocks in the past, Japan's financial supervision and risk control have become more cautious. In recent years, many restrictions have been introduced, which can be regarded as learning from one's mistakes." Chen Hongtao looked outside the vast stone steps in front of the hall, giving people a sense of being sharp and restrained and looking down on the world.

"The Japanese economy suffered premeditated heavy blows in the late 1980s, which almost caused the economy to regress for more than ten years. The continuous financial impact and exploitation caused fundamental damage to the Japanese economic system. It has just improved in recent years and has caught up with the Asian financial crisis. Sometimes, it is really hateful to think about you speculators who launched financial wars!" Ji'er glanced at Chen Hongtao and said.

"I haven't been doing this for many years, and the Asian financial crisis has nothing to do with me. This is the internal operating law of economic transition and growth forming a bubble that bursts. I'm really wronged~~~" Chen Hongtao said innocently.

"There are many international speculators involved in this Asian financial crisis. If Hongtao stands up and stops the war, offending people for nothing will be worth the loss. Speaking of which, Byron and others are really hiding deeply. It seems that the hedge funds of quantum funds have nothing to do with these big capital families. If he hadn't talked about this matter today, he would probably not have been exposed easily for a while." Fang Meiru smiled and looked at Helen.

Helen nodded lightly: "The continuous turmoil of the international capital market over the years has allowed Byron and the others to make a lot of profits. I believe they have paid attention to it now, gradually hiding the flowing capital in the dark and wanting to retreat bravely."

Wang Jinlan smiled beautifully: "Looking at Amy's appearance, I don't seem to give up. She has been married to Byron for four years, and I think it's necessary to wake her up."

"It doesn't matter, let her go. Amy has calmed down a lot over the years. I still hope that everyone can be happy. However, those little guys Zhenfei always live on Campoz Island. Even if they like it, we are not biological parents!" Chen Hongtao said with a wry smile.

"Don't you understand yet? When the old man asked Hongjun and his children to adopt us, he wanted to train them as heirs. I see Hongjian and Hongjun and others did not mean to let Zhenfei and the little guys go back. Although it is still a little early now, time has passed quickly. In another ten or twenty years, when our bodies are getting worse, you should consider giving up this country to the children!" As Wang Jinlan smiled, a faint look of fatigue appeared in her beautiful eyes. Her body seemed to be very weak.

"What stupid things are you saying? We must continue to live such a leisurely and comfortable life." A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Hongtao's eyes, and his expression became much more solemn.

Wang Jinlan stuck out her tongue in a cute way: "We won't go out in two years, and it's time for you to go out for a walk. These nine years have been my happiest time. I have never regretted marrying you. I'm afraid that you, a guy who can't stand the loneliness in your heart, will be bored with us in the prison, and take advantage of the health of your parents. You should go out for fun with the two elders more. In the past few years, we have been walking everywhere, and gradually I feel overwhelmed..."

Seeing Wang Jinlan taking a deep breath and looking really tired, Chen Hongtao smiled and signaled to Liu Miaoyan beside her: "I understand, everything is as you wish."

Wang Jinlan, who was helped back to Jinxiang Palace by Liu Miaoyan, smiled happily and said with a faint smile: "It has been really hard for him over the years. I hope that the flowers will always bloom and the good scenery will always be there. I will accompany him for a while on this comfortable and beautiful road."

"It will definitely happen. The four ladies are just weaker. As long as they are carefully recuperated, there will be no problems. Two days ago, Xie Xiankun brought back some spiritual frosted bamboo shoots, which are very fresh. I'll cook a bowl of bamboo shoot porridge for my wife when I go back?" Liu Miaoyan comforted Wang Jinlan with a smile.

Wang Jinlan nodded slightly, and with the help of Liu Miaoyan, the beautiful figure walked further and further away.

"I've decided to go riding together tomorrow, so don't cheat." Seeing Helen and Fang Meiru also leave with a smile, Ji'er reminded Chen Hongtao in a low voice.

"I know, Lord Queen, but if you want to ride a horse, you have to keep your spirits well." Chen Hongtao said with a long voice and smiled.

A gentle breeze blew. Seeing Chen Hongtao sitting alone by the piano platform without saying anything, it seemed like hesitating. Eve, who was standing beside him, hesitated, and still came forward to remind Chen Hongtao: "Boss, President Xu Chunjiao, Xie Xiankun and others have been waiting in the garden for a while..."

"Let Xu Chunjiao and the others come in first, I'll wait for them in the side hall." Chen Hongtao took a slow breath and walked into the Qingxin Hall supported by the thick vermilion cloud pillar.

Unlike the ancient oriental buildings outside the main hall, after entering the side hall, it is completely modernized.

The luxurious cashmere carpet, linen sofa and modern conference room layout are even eye-catching.

Chen Hongtao, who entered the conference room, sat directly at the conference table facing the projection large screen, but his expression was a little absent-minded.

In a short while, Eve walked in with Xu Chunjiao, Benson, Lynn and others.

"Boss~~~" Seeing Chen Hongtao who was a little stunned, several executives of Mingzhu Holdings bowed and said hello.

"Sit all, I haven't seen you for a while." Chen Hongtao's eyelids slowly blinked, and he smiled at Xu Chunjiao and others and signaled.

Xu Chunjiao smiled and sighed: "There is nothing outside now. Everyone is very idle and has long wanted to settle in Campoz Island."

"Is the technology group developing well?" Chen Hongtao asked at Lusha with a smile.

Compared to the past, Lusha seemed much more calm and smiled implicitly: "It is completely an explosive development. In an era when the technology industry reflects its rapid growth, except for those investment institutions that monopolize oligopolies and play with capital, almost no industry can match the rapid growth of the technology industry."

"Are you still willing to continue to operate and work hard now?" Chen Hongtao's question did not surprise Xu Chunjiao and others too much.

"It will fade away if we get it. With the current status of Mingzhu Holdings in the world capital order, we no longer have to prove our own value." Lusha said to Chen Hongtao with a smile.

"Since you are unwilling to continue working, then transfer the shares of the Technology Group. Taking advantage of the current situation, you should be able to sell it at a good price. I believe those big families will be willing to buy it." Chen Hongtao, wearing a gray-white robe, lit a big cigar, giving people a strange feeling.

"Okay, I'll start to operate this matter back. Boss, you allocate half of the shares of the Technology Group to us. Now it's very valuable. At that time, not only will I transfer the shares of the Technology Group held by Mingzhu Holdings, but I will also be selling the share, so that I can also have a smaller burden in the future. Use the wealth I get to do what I like." Lusha smiled without any hesitation.

"If the technology group is transferred, the holding company will only have some assets under the entertainment brokerage company, clothing company, Handerson Hospital and Mingzhu Hotel. I think it would be easier to manage this part of the assets." Xu Chunjiao suggested to Chen Hongtao with a relaxed expression.

"Yes, how is the situation with the US oil reserves, the Federal Reserve, and Century Bank?" Chen Hongtao took a sip of the cigar and looked very calm.

"Since the United States intervened in the Gulf War, US oil reserves have relied on the strong military strength of the United States. The oil business in the Middle East has developed rapidly and its profits are extremely rich. Now it is not just the oil monopoly. US oil reserves also involve various new energy development fields. I think it is not only now, but even the future investment returns are extremely amazing." Benson exclaimed and smiled.

"Although the return on equity investment in the Federal Reserve is also very good, it is much worse than that of US oil reserves. Especially after our Pearl Century Bank became the European Central Bank, the influence of the Federal Reserve has begun to decline under the competition for our business. Recently, many big families have the intention to participate in Century Bank, but in the end it depends on how we make a decision." Xu Chunjiao said calmly to Chen Hongtao.

"Four years ago, we had ended the privatization of Mingzhu Century Bank, sold 60% of the bank's equity and re-divided the equity. Now, after those big families get the benefits, they actually want to increase their holdings, which is simply a matter of gaining momentum." Lin En seemed a little dissatisfied.

Although Lin En was the vice president of Century Bank at this time, his voice in the world capital system was much heavier than before. He had become a person who would shock the world capital system with one stomp.

"It is difficult to eat so much as a tempting cake. Many companies with huge scale and excellent potential have caused dispersion of equity and cross-holding of major families. There is a reason. The balance among them is very important. Taking care of all interests, do you want to dominate the world?" Later, Chen Hongtao made a joke.

"It's just that the country we have built up with hard work is really unwilling to share with those big families. Mingzhu Century Bank is not only in the United States, Europe, even in Africa, South America, Asia, and Oceania. We have fully expanded our core business. We have now completely surpassed the Federal Reserve, but the fruits of the trees planted with hard work have been picked by others!" Lin En took a deep breath and said.

"Look at it a little bit. Those big families have paid a huge price to participate in the Pearl Century Bank and have put in a lot of money. Sometimes it is better to be unlucky than to be blocked. You must be a person who knows the advancement and retreat and knows how to choose." Chen Hongtao comforted and smiled at Lin En.

Feeling the reminder contained in Chen Hongtao's eyes, Lin En calmed down a lot and nodded in response: "I understand the boss."

"Since someone is willing to ask for it, we will distribute the equity of Mingzhu Century Bank that we hold 30%, and maintain a 10% holding of Century Bank's equity. If we do not involve our personal interests in the future, try to participate in the operation of Century Bank as little as possible, and do not create any small groups on the board of directors to criticize. The often revealed one is not called power. Only those who can hold on to the air can make decisions at critical moments will pay attention to it. You must understand this." Chen Hongtao looked around Xu Chunjiao and others and reminded with a smile.

"It is easy to fight the country, but if you want to stay firm, it is a science. Please rest assured that the boss is that we will pay attention to all aspects." Xu Chunjiao said seriously.

"Now the assets of the real estate group are sold almost the same. Apart from the entertainment brokerage company, please take care of the remaining industrial assets. Don't let yourself work too hard. I don't need you to work hard and maintain it easily." Chen Hongtao smiled inappropriately.

"The matter in Russia has basically come to an end. What should Xiao Manyao deal with?" Xu Chunjiao hesitated and inquired about Chen Hongtao.

"Xiao Manyao has made great contributions to our continued operation in Russia over the years. If she doesn't want to stay in Russia, our Mingzhu Holdings will open the door for her at any time, even Kampoz Island. It seems that she has been consciously low-key in the past two years. If she wants to continue to stay in Russia, she will go with her." Chen Hongtao gave Xu Chunjiao a casual reply.

"It's really good to live some leisurely life now. There is no need to do every day like a war, and you can't finish your work! I think Xiao Manyao has made choices after years of operation. Although the Soviet Union has been disintegrated for so many years, she did not complete the operation until a while ago and put the curtain down. The risks and hardships in this are far from that simple. I believe she must have seen through it now and is tired!" Xu Chunjiao smiled and sighed.

Chen Hongtao smiled slightly and said nothing. Nine years have passed, and times have changed, and many things have also changed.

Since Mr. Chen left, the Chen family's voice in the Chinese political territory has also shrunk.

Including Chen Hongtao's parents, as well as his uncle and second uncle, they all retired from important positions and no longer participated in important matters too much.

However, with Chen Hongtao living in seclusion overseas, the entire Chen family's life was very peaceful and peaceful, and there was no political suppression.
