Chapter 324: Big Blood Collapse! (7,000 Words Long Chapter, Please Vote!)
The twenty-first day of the twelfth lunar month is a weekend again.
It snowed all night before, and it's rare that it's sunny today.
In Qinjiazhuang, many people were crowded in the Li family courtyard.
But not many Li family members came today, and there were quite a few strangers.
There were several jeeps parked outside the Li Family Courtyard. Two young men in military uniforms were washing the first one with unlucky looks on their faces...
In the compound, several neatly dressed middle-aged men hurriedly helped hold down a big fat pig, and then watched Li Yuan's white knife go in and the red knife out, stabbing the butcher's knife into the big fat pig's heart, ending the pig's three years. s life……
Li Yuan also explained to the children of the Li family next to him: "This is tricky. You have to cut the knife from the neck and throat, and stab it directly to the heart. One knife will kill you. But it is not a random stab. When killing a pig, try to bleed it with blood." , the meat is delicious only after the blood has been drained. Therefore, you cannot directly break the heart, and the blood will not be drained cleanly. You can only squeeze out the blood by piercing the large blood vessels and causing the heart to continue to contract. "
With that said, he also took the wooden bucket handed by Li Yuan and picked up the pig's blood.
Li Zhiguo stepped forward and said, "Dad, can I feel it?"
Li Yuan stepped aside and let his son enter.
The little girl Qiao Yue behind covered her mouth and looked at this scene in horror. It seemed that she wanted to hold Li Zhiguo back, but she didn't dare to move.
Li Zhiguo stepped forward and held the handle of the knife, pulled it back, and then stabbed it in again. The pig's blood flowed faster...
He turned back and asked Qiao Yue: "Sister Qiao Yue, do you want to try it?"
Qiao Yue's face was deformed and she shook her head repeatedly. She was trying her best.
On the other hand, the other boys from the Li family came forward to try it one by one, laughing and joking.
Mei Changning said to Qiao Xing who was pressing the pig's trotters: "Have you learned a lot?"
Qiao Xing laughed. After the pig was killed, Li Yuan made another opening at the pig's feet and asked Qiao Xing, "Can you blow air?"
Qiao Xing was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
Li Yuan said with a smile: "After killing the pig, you have to blow air into it. Otherwise, look at the pig hair, which is thorny and hard, making it difficult to remove the hair. Therefore, after killing the pig, you often have to blow air into it with your mouth. Until the pig becomes round..."
Qiao Xing's face turned pale. He looked at the pig's trotters he was pressing and almost vomited.
Li Yuan laughed and asked Li Yuan, the eighteenth, to get a pump.
Qiao Xing: "..."
When Li Yuan walked into the house, his heart was beating wildly.
He has been hanging around in ministries and commissions all year round, so how could he not know these people who came to the house today?
Of course, acquaintance means hearing about it, occasionally seeing one or two, and the rest are just like myths.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my eighth uncle’s cards would be as big as this.
After cleaning up the pigs, the Li brothers stepped forward to take over the battle, while Li Yuan and Mei Changning walked aside to talk.
"Sometimes I really envy you."
Looking at the snowy mountains in the distance, Mei Changning's opening was somewhat unexpected.
Li Yuan smiled and said: "There are many people who envy me, and there are also many people who look down on me. To me, there is no difference. To you, there is actually no difference."
Mei Changning is also famous and slandered all over the capital.
It's just that the name is on the surface, and the slander is behind the scenes, he actually understands both.
Some of the people who came with him today were whispering about him in private.
But as Li Yuan said, he didn't care.
Those who praise him may not really think him well.
Likewise, people who scold him behind his back may not really have evil thoughts towards him.
When he gave the order, these people would also rush forward with swords and fire.
It is this kind of tolerant character that makes him a recognized leader among so many children.
Mei Changning laughed, nodded and said: "Yes, but I still admire you. We are the same age, but you have already made a name for yourself with your bare hands. Now you dare to let your son go directly. Your son is still doing so beautifully. You Does it make people jealous? Look at me, I am over 40 years old and have accomplished nothing. If I say this, others will probably laugh, but you definitely won’t.”
He did do some earth-shattering things, but those big things were all because he was Mr. Mei's son.
As a proud person, he wants to make a career on his own, just like Li Yuan.
Li Yuan chuckled and said: "Young age has the advantage of being younger, and being older has the advantage of being older. There has always been no shortage of people in Chinese history who are old and prosperous, who come to fortune in old age, and who are late bloomers. Such people are often no longer young and frivolous. The overlapping of years makes them more cherished, and the years of training make them wise and sophisticated in human affairs. In fact, I envy such people, they rarely make mistakes. "
Qiao Xing smiled at the side and said: "What about your eldest son? He is so young and he has achieved such high achievements."
Li Yuan shook his head and said: "I haven't had much control over his career matters. I don't understand those myself, so how can I care about them? I only have one requirement for my children, which is good health and a happy life. A few years ago, my second son I found a female celebrity to date when I was twelve years old. This is what I told him: I have no academic requirements or career requirements for you, and I don’t expect you to have any great feelings for your family and country. You don't need to be a good person, as long as you are not a criminal. The only requirement is not to damage your body prematurely, which will make me very worried and sad.
So you tell me, I really don't care what my son has accomplished.
On the day when the government came back from Qiao's house, he told me some things, but I didn't call them, and the people on Hong Kong Island didn't contact me either.
This is fine, just do your own thing and be responsible for winning or losing. "
A group of people’s views exploded! !
Qiao Xing wanted to turn around and take his daughter away quickly, so as to never have anything to do with this lunatic.
What's wrong? His son was looking for a female star when he was twelve years old. If they were doing this, they would break several belts. He just asked his son not to hurt his body.
What kind of hellish saying is this? !
I had long heard that capitalism pampers its children, but I didn’t expect that this man would become terminally ill just a few years ago!
However, Qiao Xing understood the purpose of coming today, and he also knew Li Si's information. He frowned and said, "Dr. Li, did you know that your second son opened a nightclub and supported some club members, and you don't care?"
When others hear Li Yuan say this, they will still be suspicious, wondering whether he is deliberately making excuses.
But Qiao Xing and the others knew that what Li Yuan said was true.
Li Yuan’s second son, Li Si, really opened a nightclub!
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Of course. But he is still quite obedient. There are no girls or fans there. There are only a few gambling tables, and they are also for betting on boxing matches in the ring. The only thing that is a bit excessive is that most of the ring matches are played by women. It's ridiculous. But it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't do anything evil. His nightclub doesn't take a penny from me. The success or failure depends on him, so I won't interfere."
After everyone looked at the destruction of the place, they also understood the meaning of Li Yuan's words.
The eldest son is in charge of the Li family's Hong Kong Island family business.
Since he would not interfere with the second son, he would not interfere with the eldest son.
The children grew up on Hong Kong Island and had no sense of family and country.
They wanted to take advantage of Hong Kong Island and get some conveniences, so naturally they thought too much.
Many people have ugly faces...
If you don't want to go to Hong Kong Island for convenience, who would be willing to come to this place to watch pigs being slaughtered?
But Mei Changning was obviously much more calm. He smiled and said: "Strange people do strange things. If you do this, your children will still be better than the other. If we dare to raise our children like this, we will first have our legs broken by the old man in the family." Is Vice Mayor Qin busy again? There is no day off today."
Li Yuan shook his head helplessly and said: "For her, there is no such thing as Sunday."
Mei Changning smiled and said: "Vice Mayor Qin is really amazing. A woman returned to the countryside from Dashenghai in three years and worked for more than 20 years with outstanding achievements. Now she has created a vegetable basket project, which can set an example for the world. I My father said that if officials like Chen could be like Deputy City Qin, then the day of communism would be possible, and Deputy City Qin’s future would be limitless.”
These words moved many people present.
Who is Mei Changning's father?
That was the super giant who determined the world, and his words were almost equivalent to expressing his stance.
If it spreads, it will cause huge waves.
Even Qiao Xing's expression changed, and he looked at Mei Changning in surprise, wondering why he made such a rumor at this time...
Li Yuan seemed not to understand, and said with a smile: "I don't care how big her future is. Anyway, we have made an agreement. She will work until she is sixty, and she will retire at sixty-five, and the country will be prosperous! Continue with the current policy of reform and opening up. , I don’t think it’s necessary to wait until sixty-five. Let’s go, the pork is almost ready, I’ll make a big dish for you: pork stewed vermicelli!”
A group of boys really wanted to go to the village and lead some local dogs to spend some time together.
Oh my god, pork stewed vermicelli!
Didn’t you say that this guy’s cooking skills are better than his medical skills? Invite them to a meal and just eat this?
If it weren't for Mei Changning's face, many people would want to leave in shame!
Mei Changning's expression changed, and she looked at Li Yuan with an unfathomable look.
Is there really such a master who regards royal power, wealth and honor as dirt?
These words said in front of him were not said casually.
sixty-five……
Li Yuan could feel Mei Changning's absence, and he snickered secretly in his heart.
Even a very smart person like Mei Changning could not have imagined at this moment that in a few years, the abolition of life insurance would be proposed...
By then, it won't matter whether it's a few years earlier or a few years later.
However, if this slogan is shouted out early before it is abolished, the effect will be completely different!
Not only will it greatly reduce a lot of resistance and hostility for Qin Daxue, but it will also show his high integrity and pure and lofty aspirations!
Tsk, we, Lao Li, will definitely be worthy of this move!
…
fragrant!
So delicious!
These people have had many state banquets, but they have never tasted such a delicious big pot dish.
The fresh pork stew is soft and delicious, fat but not greasy, and the meat is delicious.
The vermicelli absorbs the umami flavor of the pork and the richness of the soup, making it smooth, tender and chewy yet melts in your mouth.
The taste of cabbage is even more unforgettable. After being soaked in the rich soup from the stewed pork and vermicelli, plus a hint of freshness and sweetness from the cabbage itself, it becomes the ultimate delicacy!
Even the Erhe Noodle Steamed Bun, which they usually don’t want to take a second look at, has become a hot commodity and they enjoy eating it.
The group of people all burst into laughter after finishing the huge pot of pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew.
A middle-aged man in his thirties laughed and said: "What a shame, this dish is more delicious than the braised pork I had at the last state banquet!"
Qiao Xing said with emotion: "I now believe that Dr. Li really loves life and values life. If he were not such a person, he would not be able to develop such good cooking skills. I'm convinced, I'm convinced! In comparison, we They all became a bunch of common people.”
Li Yuan smiled and said, "You can do it if you take the time to learn."
Qiao Xing shook his head and said happily, "I'm really not this material."
Mei Changning said: "Schopenhauer said that in this life, people are either mediocre or lonely. We are mediocre people, and Dr. Li is a lonely person."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Not really."
Mei Changning thought about it, nodded and sighed: "It's true. You have a family, a wife, sons and daughters, and a mentor. You cherish them and they also cherish you. Alas, I can't stay with you for too long, otherwise I will feel sorry for myself."
Li Yuan asked curiously: "This statement is fresh, how do you say it?"
Mei Changning said: "We are not like a meaningful human being at all, but more like a group of desires. If desires cannot be satisfied, we will suffer. After the desires are satisfied, we are not actually very happy, or we will not be happy for long, and we will start to feel bored. Then, we will have greater desires.
Our lives are like this, swinging between pain and boredom. After talking with you today, I found the biggest difference between you and us. We People care a lot about how others see us. We need to maintain our own face, not only our own face, but also the glory of our parents.
You are different. You don't even care about the shocking eyes of the outside world. You allow your son to find a female star at the age of twelve and open a nightclub.
You live more selfishly than us. "
Li Yuan laughed and said, "You came to the countryside to experience life?"
Qiao Xing laughed and said, "Aning is different from us. He has a lot of ideas. I remember walking on the street with him that year. There was a girl playing the violin on the street. Aning sat on the side of the road and watched. After watching, she asked me if I had any money. In the end, I took out all the money from me and gave it to the girl, which scared the girl. He walked and looked back, worried about her, and cried. "
It was obviously not the first time that the group of people heard such a story. They laughed and laughed at Mei Changning's softness.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "I know the universe is vast, but I still pity the green grass and trees. It's rare. Aning likes reading?"
Mei Changning stood up and nodded, "I like Zeng Guofan's couplet very much: Thousands of years have passed and I am left alone. I will study again after returning from a hundred battles. I hope to retire one day and farm and study like a wild crane. Yuanzi, last time you said that the cooperation between China Resources and Datang in the mainland will be settled in US dollars in Hong Kong Island. Your eldest son should recognize this, right?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "I still have this face."
Mei Changning laughed and said, "That's it. , thank you. "
Li Yuan smiled and said, "No need, I didn't suffer any loss."
Mei Changning laughed and said, "You can't say that. Dollars... On the black market, the ratio of RMB that can be exchanged is far higher than the official limit. I accept this favor. Yuanzi, although your family may not need it, with Cao Lao here, no one will be so blind to trouble your family. But if you need it, please be sure to contact me. Just treat it as making friends. Goodbye. "
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Goodbye."
After the two smiled at each other, a group of people and several cars drove away.
Qiao Xingdu took his daughter away by force, probably because he was frightened by Li Yuan's tutor.
Li Yuan didn't care, and Li Zhiguo didn't care even more.
After watching them go away, the father and son were about to go back, and saw Eighteen Li Yuan with a happy face, smiling flatteringly and disgustingly approaching, and Li Yuan kicked him.
Li Yuan jumped out of the way and shouted, "Uncle Eighth! Don't be angry! I just want you to help introduce me to someone. If you don't say anything, I will behave myself today..."
Li Yuan said, "What's the matter? You don't want to be a good person, but want to be someone's dog? Look at what you look like today... Old Eighteen, if you dare to go and talk nonsense to these people today, I will definitely break your dog legs. What did I say before? I am afraid that you will lose the face of the old Li family. Do you think I am just talking nonsense?"
The adults of the Li family came out of the house and saw Li Yuan getting angry and teaching Eighteen a lesson. The fifth brother Li Hai picked up a wooden shovel and was ready to beat Li Yuan, the rebellious son, to death, but was stopped by the second brother Li Jiang and others.
Li Chi asked, "Youngest, what's wrong? Did Eighteen cause trouble?"
Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Nothing at the moment, just a warning in advance, so that this bastard won't get embarrassed when he runs out." He then opened up to Li Yuan and said, "Did you see how they get along with me today?"
Li Yuan was also scared at this time, and nodded and said, "Uncle Eight, I saw that they respect you very much."
Li Yuan cursed, "They respect shit! What they respect is my family business and strength in Hong Kong Island. We are all farmers. What is worthy of respect from the princes and sons of the kings? Do you understand? Only when you are strong can you let others look up to you, or at least treat you equally.
Do you think that with my uncle here, you have a chance to sneak into his In their circle, you can be on the same level with them? Dream on!
Let me tell you, even in their circle, there are different levels. But in the innermost circle, besides family background, personal ability is the most important. If you can't show your true strength, no one will look up to you even if you are a dog.
Do you understand what I mean? "
Li Yuan nodded dejectedly, and Li Yuan asked: "Tell me, what do I mean?"
Li Yuan was stagnant when he heard it, but he still said honestly: "Uncle Ba told me to be down-to-earth in life and work... But Uncle Ba, didn't you ask me to make more friends?"
Li Yuan sighed and said: "You have heard of Mei Changning before, right?"
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Of course, who doesn't know him!"
Li Yuan said: "This person is your role model. He also has many friends, but he relies on family background and talent. Family background doesn't even account for half. When he said those words just now, you were also listening from behind. Do you know who he was talking about?"
Li Yuan thought for a while and whispered: "Zeng Guofan?"
Li Yuan snorted and said: "It's Schopenhauer, a German philosopher. Do you understand now?"
Li Yuan didn't understand anything...
Li Zhiguo couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded his favorite brother when he was a child: "Eighteenth brother, Dad wants you to read more books, read for practical use, and think more."
Li Yuan didn't say much, and the rest depended on Li Yuan to understand by himself. After sending Li Zhiguo and Li Yuan out to play, he walked up to his family and smiled at his fifth brother Li Hai: "Then He is old, don't do it, it's useless. He still has some understanding. I will knock him from time to time. If he can calm down and read books, he will improve quickly and may not be worse than Kun'er and others in the future. "
Li Hai didn't believe it: "Just him?"
Li Yuan smiled and said: "Fifth brother, you still don't believe my vision? The world has changed, and he will become more and more popular in the future. If he takes a detour, he can improve faster, but he will suffer sooner or later. I will let Daxue pay attention, it's not a big problem. You and Fifth Sister-in-law don't have to worry about it in the future, you can't worry about it."
Fifth Sister-in-law smiled and said: "The milk you drank back then was not in vain. If I had known, I would have let you eat more!"
The whole family laughed, Li Yuan also laughed, and the second sister-in-law asked Li Yuan: "Yuanzi, where did you get your pigs from?"
Reform and opening up belong to reform and opening up, but grain coupons and meat coupons have not been cancelled.
Even the unified marketing of grain had to wait until 1984 to be lifted. Li Yuan smiled and said, "I bought it from China Resources. It's more convenient there. As long as you pay Hong Kong dollars or US dollars, you can buy anything."
The second brother Li Jiang was not polite: "Youngest, did you bring foreign money back? Lend me some."
Li Yuan said, "I'll just put it on the account... Why do you want to borrow foreign money?"
Li Jiang laughed and said, "Your second sister-in-law's father is going to celebrate his 80th birthday, and she wants to do her filial duty."
The second sister-in-law was a little embarrassed and said, "The main reason is that my father is not in good health. I don't know if he can..." She choked up a little.
"Okay, okay!"
Li Yuan said, "Just send Shiba to China Resources to pick it up, put it on my account, and settle the bill in Hong Kong Island later."
Li Chi was unhappy and said, "Just this time." After that, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
The second sister-in-law's face turned red, and she was about to cry. Li Yuan hurriedly coaxed her in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay. Big brother still treats me like a little kid. Second sister-in-law, it's okay."
Big sister-in-law also laughed: "You don't know what kind of person your big brother is? Don't bother with him."
Li Yuan asked the big sister-in-law: "Big sister-in-law, do you want your mother's family?"
Big sister-in-law laughed angrily: "You don't want me to live a good life, right? That's it. There are too many people in our family and too many relatives. It's not that we are unkind, but we really can't get close to them. It's not easy for the youngest, who has taken care of our family for so many years. Don't cause trouble to him if you can. In the future, if anyone has a similar situation with the second brother's family, you can make an exception once. For other situations, don't say anything, otherwise your big brother will turn against you, and I can't cover it for you."
……
Hong Kong Island, Central.
Hang Seng Building.
Li Xing looked at the year-end financial report in his hand, especially the figures in the last half month, and his face was very solemn.
Ho Sin-heng smiled and said, "Are you surprised?"
Li Xing nodded and exhaled slowly, "I thought that there would be an impact after the split of Hang Seng, but I didn't think it would be so big. In half a month, more than 2 billion deposits were transferred out, and the market value plummeted to only 1.5 billion, and it is still declining every day. There are a total of 36 branch savings offices, and 19 managers resigned. It's a big bloodbath."
Ho Sin-heng smiled and said, "Now you know why I only want 50 million to transfer your shares to you? Because I expected this day. How about it, do you regret taking the shares for 1 billion? Let me tell you, the current market value is not the bottom yet, and it will continue to decline. Xingzi, you have lost a lot!"
Li Xing smiled and said, "How can I regret it, Uncle Ho? Just relying on the banking license of Hang Seng Bank, you can't buy it even if you have money now. As long as you can survive this wave, you will be able to turn over sooner or later."
Ho Sin-heng laughed and said, "Well, you are worthy of being the person I have chosen! Ever since HSBC played a trick, I have been thinking about how to deal with it..."
Li Xing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Uncle Ho, can we fight back?" Ho Sin-heng said unhappily, "Fight back! The entire financial system of Hong Kong Island can be said to be controlled by HSBC. They have a one-handed control over everything, and the Hong Kong dollar is issued by them. Otherwise, how could there be such a big commotion right now? However, things are not the same as before. In addition to the preparations I have been making over the years, and the gold you gave me, the total is enough to stabilize the situation. Although it is inevitable that we will be seriously injured, as long as we don't die this time, we will definitely be able to turn things around. You are right. Bank licenses are becoming increasingly scarce. If you want to apply for a new license, you must not only go through layers of review by the Hong Kong government, but also through the review of global regulators. It is extremely difficult, and it is basically impossible for ordinary newcomers to enter this industry. Thanks to HSBC, Hang Seng's license has been reviewed by global regulators, and it has the right to open branches in almost all developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and Australia. Based on this point alone, Hang Seng Bank's market value has the confidence to support the bottom line.
Xingzai, if your family still has funds, it is best to buy Hang Seng shares from now on. The more shares you hold, the better. If you can privatize and delist in the future and become your family's private bank, that would be the best.
The biggest advantage of private banks is that they have a bank confidentiality system, which is its unique golden bell, and can avoid various supervisions that listed banks do not have.
The most famous family private bank in the world is Rothschild Bank.
No one knows how much money this family has, whether it is still rich and powerful, or has declined.
I only know that the Rothschild family was the first bank to resume business in Japan after the war, and was respected by the Japanese emperor and presented with the Japanese Holy Treasure Medal. Edmond Rothschild was a major member of the City of London delegation, Guy Rothschild became the head of the Bank of France, and provided financing for the Hong Kong Island subway and railway system... Almost everywhere in the world, even including mainland China. They entered as early as 1975. And this year, they have successfully bid for the construction of two large power plants in the mainland.
They have participated in most of the excitement in the world, but they are becoming more and more unknown. This is one of the benefits of owning a private bank.
Of course, they are so great because the Rothschild family is strong enough to play the role of private banks.
But your family will be equally great in the future, right? With such a large family business, owning a private bank has only advantages and no disadvantages.
Xingzi, this is a crisis, but it is also an unprecedented good opportunity for your family. "
Li Xing's eyes gradually brightened when he heard this.
But this matter is too big. No matter what, he has to wait for his father to come back before making a decision.
Moreover, he has to rely on his father to borrow money.
The Li family is now almost empty-handed. He knows that he is still far from being good. He can only hope that his father will come back and borrow at least 1 billion...
A super listed company with a market value of 10 billion may not have so much existing funds.
I don't know if his father will agree or whether he can borrow...
...
