Chapter 525 Powerful Counterattack
It is difficult to understand how the word collapse was coined if you have not witnessed the rising floods on the Yangtze River embankment.
The weather was extremely hot, and the tide was also rising to the extreme. The waves were beating hard against the embankment, as if they were ferocious beasts that had just been trapped in a cage and were about to struggle out.
If it really breaks out, it means that tens of millions of people in the lower reaches will suffer huge losses in life and property. Although the economic results of the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River cannot be said to be ruined, the blow will definitely be heavy. The direct economic losses to the country will exceed 300 billion.
This situation is absolutely unacceptable, so when the Jiujiang Levee was in danger of collapse, Fan Heng decided that the Jiangnan Levee should withstand a greater impact and start releasing floods when the flood peak arrived.
The central government approved Fan Heng's decision, and Boss Zhu went to Jiujiang for the second time to inspect the embankment situation again and encourage the soldiers and civilians fighting the flood.
Fan Heng returned to Jiangnan Province and began to make arrangements for flood diversion and discharge.
Fan Wubing rushed to Bailushan Reservoir in person and arranged for staff to make necessary arrangements and clean up the area around the reservoir to avoid any unpredictable accidents during the flood discharge.
In Fan Wubing's impression, it seems that every large-scale flood discharge event will lead to more or less accidents. In the past flood discharge areas, people who were unable to evacuate were in danger because of this. , this time the Bailushan Reservoir is storing water for flooding for the first time. The mountainous areas on both sides need to be checked next to each other to make sure there are no obstacles. If someone is moving on the mountain, it will be troublesome.
Fan Wubing didn't want to see a few floating corpses or innocent souls in his reservoir, so he specially arranged for several helicopters to take off to inspect the peaks on both sides, and arranged staff on duty on the top of the mountain to reserve Inflatable rafts, life jackets, ropes and other life-saving equipment can be used to prevent this situation from happening and your own people being helpless.
Soon it was midnight, the moon was high, and the water began to rise. Fan Heng and others personally pressed the battle on the embankment, blasting open the channel leading to Bailushan Reservoir, and the surging river water immediately rushed into one side of the river. The two-kilometer-long waterway was filled with white waves, and the huge roar was as terrifying as if the embankment had burst.
When people on the embankment saw this scene, most of them felt shocked in their hearts. Many of the more timid ones were a little unsteady, holding on to the iron chains on the side tightly and pulling their bodies away. The focus is lowered, but I don't want to miss this rare scene, and I feel very conflicted.
Fan Heng looked at this scene and said with some uncertainty, "Will there be any problems with Fan Wubing?"
Watching the white waves rushing down,
At this time, Fan Heng was a little worried that the huge impact would destroy the Bailushan Reservoir.
A water conservancy expert explained nearby, "There will be no problems. Not to mention that the designers of Bailushan Reservoir are all top water conservancy designers in the country and the materials selected are also the best. Let's just say that the raging water has reached When the reservoir is in the reservoir area, the terrain will suddenly open up. Once the water flow is dispersed, the momentum will not be so great. Moreover, the Bailushan Reservoir is built on the mountain, with six reservoir areas in a row, which has already resolved the water potential. , becomes a peaceful reservoir.”
Fan Heng nodded, feeling a little more at ease.
The flood peak of the Yangtze River has reached a hundred miles away. Just as it was said, the entire flood discharge channel has been completely opened. A huge amount of floodwater poured into the flood discharge channel and entered the first reservoir area of Bailushan Reservoir in an instant.
Fan Wubing was watching here, but he was quite frightened by the huge white waves rushing towards him.
When the floodwater passed under the gate, Fan Wubing, who was standing on the gate of the dam, suddenly felt layers of water mist rising under his feet. The entire reservoir area, which was originally dry and lifeless, suddenly turned into a shining light. sparkling.
However, the Bailushan Reservoir Area is really too big. Although the amount of water in the flood discharge channel is large, when it is distributed in the huge reservoir area, the bottom has not been soaked.
It is estimated that the water storage in this reservoir area will take a whole day to be completed. In the next few days, according to the general defense plan, the flood discharge will not stop until three reservoir areas are completed, that is, It is said that within three days, most of the increased water volume from this flood peak will be consumed in the Bailushan Reservoir.
Seeing that there was nothing left to see, I left the staff here to observe the situation, and then I took a car and rushed to the embankment to see any big changes in the water level.
However, after getting there, we found that the water level was still slowly rising, but the speed and height of the rise were within the limits of our psychological endurance, and we finally achieved our goal.
Cheers suddenly erupted on the dam. Everyone was celebrating the completion of 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 dam. Just when everyone was celebrating with their foreheads and hands, Jiujiang The monitoring post over there came over and urgently reported that the dike capacity of some sections of the Jiujiang Levee had been seriously reduced due to long-term high water level immersion.
"What's Mr. Zhu's opinion? What do the experts say?" Fan Heng asked.
"Boss Zhu has not expressed his opinion, but experts believe that the water level must be kept from rising. If the water level rises by fifty centimeters, the Jiujiang Embankment will completely collapse." The person over there replied.
Fan Heng hesitated for a while, and then asked the experts around him, "With the current situation, how long will it take for the water level to rise to fifty centimeters?"
The experts made an estimate and said, "If it continues as it is now, it will rise to this level in two days, but the impact of this flood peak will last about three days."
Now that this happens, the problem becomes serious again.
In two days, the water level of the Jiujiang Embankment will exceed the danger warning line, and the embankment may burst at any time. If you want to solve this problem, the water level must be lowered. The current flood discharge rate of Bailu Mountain alone cannot meet the requirements.
"If that doesn't work, you need to walk on two legs. When the water level rises to the dangerous warning line, release the flood through the flood discharge area." Experts suggested.
However, if the flood discharged through the flood discharge area, the impact on Jiangnan Province would be great. Fan Heng hesitated for a moment and found it difficult to make a decision. He also knew that the fact that Boss Zhu did not express his position meant that he was also very aware of this. The impact of this incident is significant, so there is no way to make a decision. After all, it is a bit unreasonable to ask Jiangnan Province to bear the losses of flood discharge in order to protect Jiujiang.
Originally, Jiangnan Province was foolproof. If it were not to help Jiujiang reduce the pressure, there would be no need to use the Bailushan Reservoir to divert floods. If there were any further demands on Jiangnan Province and they must be allowed to bear the losses, the people of Jiangnan Province would What would they think?
At this time, Fan Wubing rushed over and saw that everyone on the embankment was unhappy. His father Fan Heng also picked up a cigarette, holding it between his legs and not smoking. His brows were furrowed. It was obvious that something big had happened, so he He asked, "What's wrong? The flood diversion is very successful."
"The flood diversion is very successful, but the Jiujiang side 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, the only way to discharge the flood is in the flood discharge area. . After all, the flood discharge here will not have much impact, but if they want to discharge the flood, a lot of fertile land will be flooded. "
Fan Wubing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Is this okay? I looked carefully at the water level of the flood discharge channel on the way, and it was not high. If we expand the gate between the embankment and the flood discharge channel, and raise the water level of the flood discharge channel, then By increasing the drainage volume, the problem of rising water levels downstream can be solved.”
"Although this is possible, the three sub-reservoirs are not enough. If there is another flood peak, we will have nowhere to discharge the flood, and we will have to use the flood discharge area." Water conservancy experts said.
Fan Wubing thought for a while, this was probably the last flood peak in this year's flood season, and the water level would start to drop later, so it was nothing to worry about, so he said decisively, "The current situation cannot be solved, so why worry about the future? Hurry up. Arranging soil work and expanding the entrance are top priorities.”
Fan Heng still had great trust in his son, so he immediately ordered to start arranging the expansion. The workers carefully installed explosives in the drilled holes and then blasted them in a direction.
This turned out to be very effective. The water level in the flood discharge channel rose, the speed of flood discharge accelerated a lot, and the rise in water level downstream immediately stopped.
Fan Wubing immediately arranged for people to notify the downstream reservoir area and asked them to open all six reservoir areas and fill them with water. However, everyone immediately thought of a problem. Now the two sides of the flood discharge channel gate have been blown open. "That's easy, just lower the gate and block it with something." Fan Wubing replied without hesitation, "It's easier than starting from The flood discharge area is much smaller and much safer.”
This is the truth when everyone thinks about it, but many people feel a little distressed. The gate of the flood discharge channel is in good repair. When the central leaders came to inspect it, they all spoke highly of it, but now it is about to explode. , it’s really a bit distressing.
However, Fan Heng also took this matter lightly. What does money mean anyway? At this critical moment, being able to spend money to solve the problem is already the greatest blessing.
After settling the matter here, Fan and his son finally took a breath and reported the situation to Boss Zhu.
"Blow up all the gates?" After a while, Boss Zhu asked slowly.
"We want to increase the flood discharge as much as possible, so we have no choice but to do it like this. We will rebuild the gate after the work is completed." Fan Heng replied.
After a while, Boss Zhu said, "You have worked hard and sacrificed a lot. When things get better here, I will allocate special funds to you to repair the gate."
"That's not necessary. Jiangnan Province's finances are fine. Besides, this is a non-disease 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 back to the capital now." Boss Zhu was not very insistent. The two of them didn't talk for a few words and quickly ended the conversation.
After putting down the phone, Fan Heng felt something was wrong. He didn't know why Boss Zhu was not very interested. After thinking about it, it didn't make sense. The water level had been controlled here, so there was no problem there. Why are you still feeling down?
"What's wrong?" Fan Wubing came over and asked.
"I don't know, I'm not in a high mood." Fan Heng shrugged.
Fan Wubing patted his forehead and said, "The problem is in the first three rows, and the root cause is still on the podium. I guess it is because of the situation in Jiujiang. If you don't believe me, you can ask."
Fan Heng naturally believed it. If he hadn't seen something in Jiujiang again, Boss Zhu wouldn't be so unhappy. So he asked the people in Jiangnan Province who stayed there to inquire about it. Sure enough, something happened in Jiujiang again.
"This time, a big case has been discovered. The level involved is relatively high. It is related to the construction of the levee." Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing.
"What did I say?" Fan Wubing shook his head, with a look of expectation.
Yes, the earthwork work in China is indeed worse, but the Yangtze River levee is a century-long or millennium-long plan, which is related to the safety of life and property of tens of millions of people in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. However, since the history of levee construction, there has never been a period of time when it has been as solid as a rock, which can't help but make people sigh.
"We don't get involved in this matter, just do our job well." Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing, "What I am worried about now is, if the next flood peak comes, where should the flood be discharged?"
"Don't worry, there is no big flood peak." Fan Wubing answered very confidently.
"How can you be so sure?" Song Qing, who was next to Fan Heng, asked back in disbelief.
Fan Wubing glanced at her and then replied, "I used to have another nickname, called Half Immortal."
After returning to the dormitory of the provincial government, Fan Wubing and Fan Heng had something to eat, and he went back to his room to sleep. He was not awakened by the phone until noon the next day.
When he picked up the phone, it turned out to be a call from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Fan Wubing couldn't help but ask in a depressed tone, "What's going on? Soros should have withdrawn from Hong Kong, right? Is there anything else you can't handle?"
However, the person in charge of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority said hesitantly that although Soros and others had left, the stock market suddenly became popular without any signs. The Hang Seng Index, which had been suppressed to less than 10,000 points, actually rose again and regained its upward trend. It seems that there have been a lot of people buying up these days, and the amount is very large.
"Both the SAR government and the Monetary Authority hope that the stock market will remain stable at present and should not rise too much, otherwise it is very likely to trigger a round of financial crisis." said the head of the Monetary Authority.
"That's 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 Monetary Authority and got Soros away. Now they have to find him to solve any problems. Isn't it a bit of a matter of priorities?
I am just an investor, not a life-saving team. There is no reason to stay in Hong Kong to wipe their tun.
They said that they had discussed with Fan Wubing before, that is, the issue of reducing holdings of stocks. Now the stock market is just right for Fan Wubing to reduce holdings. On the one hand, it will not affect his income, and on the other hand, it can help the Monetary Authority to suppress the speculative forces in the stock market and bring down the Hang Seng Index.
After hearing this, Fan Wubing suddenly spit out his food. It feels like he has just finished being a long position and he has to be a short position for them again.
However, Fan Wubing thought about it and realized that there would not be much opportunity for Hong Kong stocks in the future. If he could withdraw now, the return should be good. However, he was still a little unwilling. Why should I do whatever you say?
"I will not withdraw until Hong Kong stocks reach 13,000." Fan Wubing immediately expressed his opinion.
"As it is now, it will reach 13,000 tomorrow and the day after tomorrow-" said the person from the Financial Administration Bureau.
"Hiss-" Fan Wubing took a breath of cold air and thought that he did not expect Hong Kong stocks to be crazy. Although they rose well in the past, they were small slow bulls at that time, but now this kind of rise is not a bull, but a cobra, whooshing and standing up all of a sudden, very scary, and it is easy to kill people.
In this situation, it is indeed necessary to come out and suppress it. It kills two birds with one stone. It can make money and sell a favor to the SAR. Why not?
So Fan Wubing touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "Okay, let's try how big the other party's appetite is. If he can take all my cards, he is a hero!"
Hong Kong is naturally very happy. It's no wonder. Although there are many local rich people in Hong Kong, everyone is very cautious about the stocks of their own companies. Generally speaking, they are unwilling to sell them. Otherwise, not only will the control of the company fall into the hands of others, but it will also give people the illusion that a certain company is not doing well and major shareholders have begun to cash out. This will cause the company's stock price to plummet, and then affect their worth.
Hong Kong people love face, so everyone has to make a top ten richest list every year. Who makes more money in the year and who is the biggest winner in the Hong Kong financial industry that year? Over time, it has become a habit.
So many people say that the first few Hong Kong tycoons are very frugal in their daily lives. The first generation of Hong Kong tycoons are basically diligent and cautious. The second generation of Hong Kong tycoons are used to chasing female stars, and then dumping them and changing people. The third generation of Hong Kong tycoons are already unremarkable. They basically rely on their ancestors' influence to pass on their wealth to their children, and have no achievements in business. The Chinese saying that wealth cannot last for more than three generations is actually perfectly reflected in them.
Because of this, everyone regards selling their company's stocks as a very dangerous signal, just like the old landlords only bought land and land, but did not have the habit of selling land and land.
Therefore, the Hong Kong side remembered Fan Wubing and begged him to reduce his holdings to suppress the Hang Seng Index, so as to prevent the SAR government, which had just heard Soros's oppression, from facing another huge challenge.
After Fan Wubing agreed to the SAR's request, he began to contact the Hong Kong side to inquire about relevant matters. The other side immediately said that the Hong Kong stock market was indeed turbulent in the past few days, and no one could understand what was going on, so they chose to wait and see. Anyway, the current situation is only good for Fan's Investment Group and no harm, and it is not the time to reduce holdings.
"Then start reducing holdings, pay attention to the market's tolerance, and it is better to fluctuate slightly." Fan Wubing gave his subordinates the task objectives, and then left it alone.
Fan Wubing is very relieved about the financial management team in Hong Kong, otherwise he would not ignore them all year round, and would only pay attention to them when necessary. Fan Wubing fully recognizes their C disk capabilities.
However, Fan Wubing still thinks this matter is a bit strange. Why is there a storm in the market for no reason? As the saying goes, there must be a reason for everything, and there must be some hidden secrets. So Fan Wubing began to analyze the economic situation at home and abroad, and found a problem. This time, it was not the foreign dragon that stirred up the storm, but the British financial capital that had been lurking in the Hong Kong stock market for a long time.
As we all know, the British have been in Hong Kong for a hundred years. As soon as the Hong Kong stock market started, British financial capital began to speculate. Many people like Hong Kong's unguarded market, which is free to come and go without restraint, which is much more convenient than speculating in the UK. Because of its special status as an international free port, Hong Kong's economic development momentum has been very good, especially as the only export of mainland China to the international community for decades, its status is particularly important.
It can be said that Hong Kong's decades of economic development history is the suffering history of China's economic blockade by the joint containment of the world. This is basically an international consensus.
But now that Hong Kong has returned, there are more and more port cities that can be opened in the Chinese mainland. The world is getting weaker and weaker, while Hong Kong's economy is increasingly dependent on the world. It is certain that if it relies solely on port trade, Hong Kong's economic decline is only a matter of time.
Under such circumstances, it is meaningless for the British financial capital that has not yet withdrawn to stay here. Making a big profit before leaving is the most important thing. Therefore, they are speculating not only stocks, but also the Hang Seng Index.
Fan Wubing estimated that the scale of funds of this group of people is always in the hundreds of billions of dollars, otherwise it is impossible to cause such a big storm. The family assets accumulated by the British in Hong Kong for many years are still very rich.
And there is another point that Fan Wubing also noticed, that is, the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong basically have dealings with these British people, so it is normal to choose to stay put. After all, many of them have a lot of industries in the UK, and some people have even been awarded honors and titles by the Queen of England. How can they go against these British people?
Now, the only person who has enough chips in the Hong Kong stock market and has no great connection with these British people is Fan Wubing, so the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will think of asking Fan Wubing to come forward to solve this matter.
However, Fan Wubing felt a little unhappy. Why didn't they tell him the truth directly? This seems to be very n-person, right? Why did he provoke so many people for no reason? Do you think you have too few enemies?
In order to support them, I have offended enough people. Fortunately, now I have got together with Soros, I can finally eliminate some of the past hatred.
So Fan Wubing called and said that he had no interest in competing with the British.
The other side seemed very anxious. After begging for a long time, they finally agreed to award him the Grand Medal of the Bauhinia Flower and a villa in Mid-Levels as a thank you. The value is several hundred million, and there is still potential for appreciation.
In the end, Fan Wubing reluctantly agreed. There are not many villas in Mid-Levels, especially those with good geographical locations. It is even more rare. Fan Wubing thought that this kind of bargain was free. If he had time to go to Hong Kong to play, he would have a place to stay, which is not bad.
The most important thing is that he can make a lot of money in this matter. He is just a little dissatisfied with being plotted against.
However, Fan Wubing's team had a somewhat biased understanding of Fan Wubing's small fluctuations. After the opening of the next day, the Hang Seng Index immediately rose by 600 points and was still rising. The C-traders of Fan's Investment Group immediately began to sell and directly smashed the Hang Seng Index back.
The other party was obviously not convinced and raised the Hang Seng Index by 600 points again. Fan's people smashed the Hang Seng Index back again. After three ups and downs, the other party obviously consumed a lot of chips and was a little impatient, so the Hang Seng Index began to consolidate sideways, and the British agent also began to urgently contact Fan Wubing's people and asked for consultations.
Fan Wubing's men were very tough and said that they would let the other party do whatever they wanted. Anyway, they had sold one-third of the stocks, and the profits were quite good. If the other party continued to engage in a tug-of-war, then they would directly sell the remaining two-thirds, and then see how much firepower the other party could exert?
"At most, after they receive our chips, we will buy futures to see if they can stay put?" Fan Wubing's men reached a consensus.
The British were a little annoyed when they saw that the negotiations were fruitless, but the selling power of Fan's Investment Group was so great that they had not expected it at all, so the British were a little confused and decided to temporarily stop all activities and talk directly to Fan Wubing.
But Fan Wubing was also very difficult to deal with. Faced with the accusations from the British, he expressed disdain and accused them of ruining his plan and affecting his overall layout of the Hong Kong stock market.
"What's your plan?" asked the British agent.
"You have stayed in the Hong Kong stock market for three years and kept the Hang Seng Index unchanged for three years. You are not giving me face by doing this." Fan Wubing said in a somewhat arrogant manner.
The two parties talked for a long time, and finally Fan Wubing made his request, "The Hang Seng Index can rise another two thousand points, but I will only give you one day to ship. In return, ** will purchase 100% of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton at market prices." ten shares.”
In fact, the shares of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton are not very large, and 10% of the shares does not cost much. The most critical problem is that the British are unwilling to transfer them. This incident was because Fan Wubing blocked one of them. The necks of several major shareholders of Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton have put them in a difficult position.
If they cannot do without the Hong Kong stock market, their money there will be a pile of dead money with no practical significance. However, investment in Australian iron ore has not seen a peak in demand in recent years, and its results have been mediocre. After all, China's demand has exploded. Before it came, no one knew that Australia’s iron ore mines would be so hot.
After weighing the pros and cons, the British agreed to Fan Wubing's request.
On the third day, after a slight decline, the Hong Kong stock market suddenly rose. The trading volume for the whole day reached 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, setting a record. On the fourth day, the Hong Kong stock market fell slightly again, and then more than 70 billion were traded. Then it rose by more than 100 points, and another 30 billion were traded. On the fifth day, huge selling pressure began to push down, bringing the index back to its original level. However, the trading volume throughout the day had returned to the level of 60 billion Hong Kong dollars. It shows that this time the strange market suddenly came and then ended suddenly.
All the financial media were collectively speechless. No one could figure out what was going on. Countless stock commentators wanted to get some inside information, but found that the local financial tycoons in Hong Kong were all embarrassed. , or they just look like they are keeping secrets, and no one is willing to say more.
It wasn't until much later that someone exposed this plot, which triggered a wave of enthusiasm for Fan's Investment Group.
Fan Wubing himself was very speechless about the disputes caused by his subordinates, because they liked to be in the limelight so much, but these people made a lot of money for themselves, so they couldn't bear to be harshly criticized. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region also looked the same. Grievance, although Fan Wubing's promise to suppress the index was achieved, the ups and downs in the process were so earth-shattering that the whole world's attention was focused here.
In the end, the SAR government replaced all relevant responsible persons under the strong demand of the people. Even the Financial Secretary was questioned and had to go to the Legislative Council to explain. In short, the people are already very dissatisfied with Hong Kong's current financial management system and strongly Ask them to carry out reforms, otherwise if the next financial crisis hits, who knows how many eggs will be left behind?
Boss Zhu seemed to have received the complaints from Hong Kong and called Fan Wubing to ask a few questions. He didn't mean to blame him. He just reminded Fan Wubing not to do it so vigorously next time. It won't have any impact. Great.
However, Fan Wubing’s remarks also make some sense. “The current system of Hong Kong’s financial free port allows for very free entry and exit of funds. However, given the current strength of the SAR government, it is not easy to control it, so twists and turns are to be expected. Something happened. This time, I was still here to suppress it, so there was no bigger storm. Otherwise, what do you think they would do if the Hang Seng Index exceeded 18,000 points or even 21,000 points? "
Boss Zhu nodded and admitted that what Fan Wubing said was right. This is the reality. Hong Kong’s financial policy does have some problems. Although it is not as obvious as that of Southeast Asian countries, problems are problems. If they are not solved, there will be problems in the future. There is no guarantee that similar embarrassing situations will occur again.
What happened this time was that Fan Wubing once again reminded them that some things needed to be reformed. Although Hong Kong is a free financial port, the system should be adjusted at any time, otherwise they will suffer losses later.
"In the next term, it is very likely that Fan Heng will be notified to become a regular member." At the end, Boss Zhu said to Fan Wubing, and then added, "Several old leaders all agreed. The current few All members of the Standing Committee also agreed.”
Fan Wubing touched his forehead, thinking, but he didn't expect that this matter would come to light so soon. Boss Zhu would like to explain to himself, so he might as well let his father Fan Heng make preparations in advance. After all, among the many members of the Standing Committee, only It's because he has a close relationship with me. Although others talk and laugh, they don't have any deep friendship, and it's impossible to say anything more clearly.
Originally, it is difficult for people of this status to speak clearly. Most of the time, they talk in wheelbarrow language, and you still can’t figure out their value orientation even after going around. where.
So from this point of view, Fan Wubing also admires Boss Zhu, who dares to speak, do and take responsibility.
"Should I adjust my mentality and prepare for my future life in the yamen?" Fan Wubing asked half-jokingly.
If Dad Fan Heng really becomes a regular member, then he will officially enter the ranks of the highest leaders. Although he may be ranked last, the meaning is different after all. This is his role in the decision-making of major national policies. After all, there are only nine people who have a real vote of power.
"Nonsense, just be normal." Boss Zhu said to Fan Wubing, "When you have nothing to do, it's very beneficial to go to the old man's place and walk around more."
Fan Wubing nodded in agreement, thinking that it was now the time for him to treat the old man four times a year. If not for the flood, he would have been in the capital at this time, so after hanging up the phone with Boss Zhu, he organized After a few words, he dialed the old man's phone number.
Strange to say, since the old man crossed the death limit last year, his health has improved a bit and his mental state is also very good. He often reads magazines, listens to the news, and looks at his appearance. If he persists for a few more years, It should be no big deal.
However, when the call was made, the old man was resting. The secretary said not to disturb him, but the old man's family took the call and asked Fan Wubing if it was time to come to the capital.
"I've been thinking about this. If it weren't for the serious flood situation here in Jiangnan, I would have flown here long ago. But I'll take a flight tonight and visit early tomorrow morning." Fan Wubing assured her.
"That's great. To be honest, we won't be worried if you don't come over. Now we only believe in your medical skills." The old man's family said with a smile, "Then if you come over, you can use it here." Lunch is ready, I’ll ask them to prepare it for you if you want to eat it.”
"I eat very casually, but if the old man has good tea, it would be best to leave some for me." Fan Wubing thought to himself, what's the point of eating? If he could evenly distribute some extremely good tea, then Worth it.
"No problem. Anyway, we are old and can't taste the taste. It would be a waste to keep the good tea leaves." The old man's family replied with a smile.
After that, Fan Wubing made a few more phone calls, contacted the people in Beijing, informed his mother Zhang Mei of his whereabouts, and then chatted with Shen Ying's uncle, Director Zhang, who had become the director of the General Logistics Department. I talked about the advertising company with Lao Chen, who was independent from CCTV, who was busy promoting advertisements. Finally, I asked my elder sister Fan Ting when she would be working.
The matter between the elder sister Fan Ting and Han Chu is basically settled. They are both older men and women, but because they are both very promising, it is understandable that they will marry later. Although Heng didn't have time, his mother Zhang Mei and Han Chu's family had already been in contact, and it was probably going to be around the National Day. Fan Heng would definitely have to return to the capital for a visit. Once this matter was taken care of, mom and dad felt much more relaxed.
As for Fan Kang and Fan Wubing's matter, since it was a matter of course, they didn't worry about it anymore. They just told them to treat other girls well and not to mess around with others.
But Fan Ting caught Fan Wubing and taught him a lesson on the phone for a while, "There's been a lot of gossip about you recently! You have to be careful. Now when the little girl in our company mentions you, who has never I haven't met Mr. Fan for a few times, and I feel like I'm in love with you. I think you've reached your age, so hurry up and get things done with Shen Ying, so as not to make everyone think of you! If it happens once, it will cause turmoil in the company for several days, making it impossible for me to carry out my work! "
"Am I concerned?" Fan Wubing shook his head and smiled, "Your brother is only twenty-two years old! Why doesn't he have to wait until he is thirty to get married again?"
"How can that be done?" Fan Ting immediately retorted, "Unless you want Shen Ying to marry someone else, just get married honestly. Do you think such an outstanding girl is easy to find? There are those who are quick and slow, even though she is you Fiancée, if you don't cherish her, there's no guarantee that she won't fly! You have to know that she is also twenty-two years old. If it weren't for waiting for you, she would probably have children by now. The girls over there, They get married relatively early.”
"Yes, I understand." Fan Wubing nodded and replied, "I'll go see the old man and propose to her. I'll get the certificate first."
"Have you never proposed to her before?" Fan Ting just realized this question and asked curiously.
"No! It's just a baby kiss between Dad and Minister Zhang. After all, this is a sinful arranged marriage!" Fan Wubing said with a bitter smile.
Fortunately, it seems that this arrangement is not too bad.
