Chapter 3 What kind of marriage?(1/2)
It is said that before going away from afar and returning home after a long time, you always have to pay respects to your ancestors' graves. This is also the case when Li Guokai comes back in the play.
Chen Fang naturally had no objections. He went with Li Guorong the next day and was ready to go to Xiangjiang when he came back.
In fact, Chen Fang is really curious about what Xiangjiang was like at this time, but one thing is certain. Xiangjiang is now the most developed city in China, and even the most prosperous city in later generations cannot compare to it now.
That night, Li Guorong called Chen Fang to the room.
"Chen Fang, you want to go to Xiangjiang. I don't agree with my original intention, but seeing that you are so persistent, I can't say anything. Here is 10,000 yuan, you take it..."
Li Guorong said a lot, but basically it was about the care of the elders for the younger ones.
This feeling cannot be faked.
"Thank you, uncle. Consider this money a loan from me. I will return it to you in the future..."
Li Guorong waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't value money that much, as long as you are promising..."
His words are not false. Li Guorong really doesn't value money. He hopes for harmony as a family. It can be seen in the play that he has put a lot of effort into this big family.
"Then when I make money in the future, I will come to honor you..."
"Let's talk about it later. As I said when I go to Xiangjiang, be careful..."
"good."
The next day, Chen Fang packed his luggage, and then went to book a flight... Fortunately, there were enough tickets, probably because the price was too expensive, and the time was that afternoon.
Then he said something to Li Guorong and set off for the airport with Li Yi's envious eyes.
The main reason for letting Li Yi stay in the capital is to let him resolve Jiang Xiaomei's matter. Even if you don't like the other party, you must deal with it well... and you can't waste other people's time.
By the time Chen landed in Hong Kong, it was almost dark. The current airport was still Kai Tak Airport... This airport was in the urban area, and many short videos of later generations can tell that this location is very dangerous.
The Xiangjiang International Airport is still under construction at the moment and will not be put into use until next year. By then, Kai Tak Airport will be closed.
When exporting the motorcycle, Chen Fang exchanged it for 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the exchange rate must have suffered a big loss. The RMB is not so popular now. This situation will only change when the country becomes stronger.
I took a taxi and found a hotel. I didn't have much money now, so it would be better to save a little. Then I called Li Guorong to report that he was safe, so as not to worry him any more.
The next day, Chen Fang found a pawn shop and bought some gold. He visited three pawn shops in a row... and raised a total of one million Hong Kong dollars. He will not sell any more gold in the future, because a large amount will definitely attract people's attention.
With one million Hong Kong dollars and some assets, I opened an account at BOC Xiangjiang.
One million Hong Kong dollars is already considered a big customer, even in Hong Kong where gold is everywhere. The account manager of BOC Xiangjiang warmly received Chen Fang.
Various accounts were quickly opened. As a world-class international financial center, the greatest convenience of Xiangjiang is the freedom of funds here, which can be transferred to various parts of the world at any time. Of course, funds from all over the world can also be transferred to Xiangjiang at any time.
If it cannot do this, what kind of world financial center is it?
Like the Magic City of later generations, it can only be said to be a domestic financial center, but it is far from meeting the standards of an international financial center.
The current Hong Kong stock market can be said to be very changeable. Because the return is imminent, many people are making small moves in the market, but Chen Fang knows that it is just a small fuss now.
The real confrontation will have to come after the return. According to the timeline, Soros should be shorting Thailand now, and his next target is Hong Kong.
In the play, Li Mingjie followed Soros in shorting Xiangjiang and ended up in a miserable situation. Later, he owed hundreds of millions in debt.
This Li Mingjie keeps saying that he has severed ties with Li Guokai and has nothing to do with the Li family. But if you were not Li Guokai's son, the financial institution would lend you so much money. I'm afraid it's not a waste of money.
Just as these financial institutions are well-intentioned philanthropists, if people can’t get their money back, how dare they lend it to others?
When Chen Fang was killing everyone in the stock market, the capital was not idle either. Li Guokai first called Li Guorong, and then the other party knew that his brother was still alive.
For a moment, Li Guorong recalled what happened when he was a child, and he was filled with emotion. Soon the two brothers agreed on a time to meet, and of course it was Li Guokai who came to the capital.
After hanging up the phone, Li Guorong smiled and said: "Li Yi, I really didn't expect that your second uncle is still alive..."
"Yes, my cousin said it before... I didn't expect that he was really right."
"Hey, speaking of this, I'll call Chen Fang later to make him happy..."
After speaking, Li Guorong started to take action. He went to the phone booth and found Chen Fang's number in Xiangjiang and called him. He always thought it was Chen Fang's company number.
Chen Fang was not surprised about this matter. If conditions allowed, he would take Li Guorong to find Li Guokai.
However, Chen Fang still reminded me about the airport pick-up.
Time soon came to the day when Li Guokai arrived in the capital. This time with Chen Fang's reminder, the two groups of people did not miss it...Li Guorong successfully received Li Guokai.
When the two met, they were both in a state of sadness. If you look carefully, you can see that their eyes are moist. It has been over fifty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Two brothers meet again after fifty years apart. After all, how many fifty years are there in life?
Li Guorong grabbed Li Guokai's hand excitedly, his eyes were already red: "Erga... Erga!"
Li Guokai had the same reaction: "Brother, brother, I'm back!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Guorong personally cooked and ate at home that night. At the dinner table, Li Yi asked: "Second uncle, what are you doing in Xiangjiang?"
Li Guorong was also very curious and wanted to know what his younger brother was doing in Xiangjiang.
Li Guokai hesitated for a moment and said that he drove a tram in Xiangjiang.
"It's good to drive a tram. I think this is very good. It can be regarded as our working class. Guokai and we work down-to-earth... Big brother is happy for you."
Li Guorong didn't realize that his brother was lying at all, and Li Guokai nodded awkwardly. After many years of business, he had lied out of nowhere. Now that he saw his elder brother's true love and comfort, Li Guokai was really embarrassed.
"By the way, did you know that my eldest sister has a son? His name is Chen Fang, and he has also gone to Xiangjiang now..."
"Ah, my eldest sister's son?"
"Well, this kid is just like Li Yi. He went to Xiangjiang a few days ago, and now I can't understand what he's talking about...
....”
"I'll contact you when I get back and let's get together when we can."
Li Guokai secretly wrote down that he was already complaining in his heart about what Cui Baiquan had done. He didn't tell him such a big thing?
"Um."
Then the two brothers started talking about other things, including the past years and their respective families.
Li Yi was accompanying his cousin Li Minghao, and Li Yi was inquiring about things in Xiangjiang.
The next day, Li Guorong invited Li Guokai and his son to have a meal at Darong Roast Duck Restaurant, which was also his home venue. He wanted his younger brother to taste the delicacies of the capital. At first, the two brothers lived on sweet potatoes.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived, Su Yuanyuan and his daughter Su Dong were also there.
Su Yuanhua and Li Guokai had never dealt with each other in Xiangjiang. When they met now, Li Guokai's lie that he was a tram driver was exposed.
Li Guokai didn't blush and wanted to explain something, but who knew that Cui Baiquan came in at this time, and it could be said that he did something bad with good intentions.
In essence, Li Guokai is not the kind of person who looks down on his family when he is rich. He is just used to intrigues in Xiangjiang, so he can't help but tell lies.
Li Guorong still finished the drink patiently, but after a glass of wine he left angrily, mainly because he was unhappy that his brother was lying.
What’s the point of a family hiding these things?
Li Guokai regretted it very much. He shouldn't have lied in the first place. After dinner, he was looking for a chance to see if he could apologize to his elder brother or something. After finally meeting him, what was the point of having a quarrel?
After the meal, Su Dong found Li Yi and asked, "Has your cousin gone to Xiangjiang?"
At first, Li Yi thought Su Dong was asking him something, but he didn't expect it to be this. He nodded and said, "Well, I've been away for a few days... I heard that he is already at work."
Li Yi didn't even think about it. Chen Fang's visa was all from Yuanda Group, and he could only go to Yuanda Group to work. How could he find a job in other formal places.
Su Dong didn't mention this either. There was no feedback from Xiangjiang about Chen Fang going to the company. Otherwise, why would she ask?
Su Yuanhua was very happy today. He didn't expect Li Guokai to be frustrated here. Although he was surprised by Li Guorong and his brothers, they quickly adapted to it.
Li Guokai couldn't sleep that night. When he came to the living room, he found that his elder brother was also there. He was probably angry.
"Brother, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Hearing his brother's apology, Li Guorong couldn't help but hold on to him. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for so many years, so why should they be angry all the time.
"Guokai, tell me how you made so much money. Did you do anything illegal?"
Today, when he heard Su Yuan said that his younger brother actually had billions of assets, he suspected that he had heard it wrong. After confirming it again and again, he wondered if his younger brother was doing something illegal.
"Actually, it's like this... Mainly because the economy in Xiangjiang is developed and there are many opportunities... Our company relied on this wave to rise."
Li Guokai talked about what happened over the years in detail. Although Li Guorong might not understand, he was very satisfied with his brother's attitude.
"As long as there is no chaos."
"Well, don't worry, brother, I have always been a businessman who abides by my duties."
For several days, Li Guokai walked around his home in Beijing, firstly to visit relatives and secondly to see if there were any investment opportunities.
Because Su Yuanhua had already helped him get a visa to go to Xiangjiang, Li Yi didn't say anything about it. He decided to prepare to go to Xiangjiang after seeing off his second uncle.
Before Li Guokai left, he and his elder brother prepared many things, including a high-end apartment and a car.
"Guokai, I know all the things you asked Cui Baiquan to do... You don't need to buy me a high-end apartment or anything, or a car... I'm very happy living here...
"
"Brother, you'd better take it. It's my intention no matter what."
"I appreciate the kindness. It's useless for me to hold these things..."
In the end, Li Guokai didn't accept it, mainly because it was useless for him to hold it. It was not as comfortable as living in this courtyard house, surrounded by neighbors, and you could talk in your free time.
