Chapter 474 Feast! (10,000 Words, Monthly Votes Requested!)

"Grandpa, it's settled!!"

On the last Sunday of February 2007, 25-year-old Li Rui appeared at the palace, as excited and excited as if he were 15 years old.

After nearly a year of back-and-forth negotiations, the Li family of Tang Dynasty finally reached an agreement with the Rockefeller and Morgan families to divide the pie.

The reason why it is so difficult is because this cake originally belongs to two families...

However, it won't work if they don't agree. If they don't divide the cake, the white house and the new money forces will blood-wash the cake.

This is not just about the interests of America’s local financial market, but the whole world.

According to rigorous model calculations, according to the undercurrent of the unstoppable thunderstorm risk that is completely out of control, once it completely explodes, 50% of all stock prices on the entire planet and tens of trillions of dollars will be evaporated.

Even in areas that would not have been affected originally, America would take the initiative to share the burden...

This will be the biggest crisis the global economy has faced since World War II.

But for hunters, this time is also a gluttonous feast that is almost impossible to happen again! !

Of course, those who want to sit at the dinner table must be prepared to be regarded as the instigator of this disaster, then become the one who bears the thunder, and finally be blown to pieces...

The reason why the Li family can join this feast is definitely not just because Li Yuan predicted the outbreak of this crisis in advance, but because he provided the chips that made the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family excited, and that's all.

Therefore, Li Yuan was not as excited as his grandson. He still dealt with the mandarin fish in his hands in an orderly manner, preparing to make a garlic-roasted mandarin fish for his mother. He asked lightly: "Have you learned anything?"

Grandfather's indifference chilled the fire-like enthusiasm in Li Rui's heart, and then his eyes were full of admiration. After taking a long breath, he suppressed the trembling in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, I have gained a lot. Now I understand more and more why my grandfather and father have not allowed us brothers to get involved in the financial market since we were young. Compared with the financial market, Haojing’s gambling hall is not even a country dog, such as a bank, an insurance company, or a securities company. Speculators cut CDOs (insurance policies), which had a market value of tens of billions of dollars, into small pieces of CDS (financial products similar to stocks), and repeatedly speculated on them, eventually generating a total of 64 trillion U.S. dollars. Market value!

Unprecedented craziness, so crazy, completely out of control! Grandpa, no wonder the White House wants to kill these old money families. It is indeed too greedy. I think Lan Guo must be wary of something like this happening! "

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Where is your cousin Aze now?"

Li Ruidao: "In Europe, there are three major markets, America, the European Union and Japan. Three companies, each is responsible for one area. Originally, the Li family wanted to be responsible for Japan, but old David said that the footbath chicken must be put on the table to withstand thunder. The Tang and Li family are not yet able to do this, and the Rockefeller family must take over. Wall Street is the headquarters of the Morgan family, so we can only choose Europe. But Cousin Aze said that it is enough to eat until we are full! Although the meat in America is the fattest, it is the lifeblood of the two families. They will not allow us to dig up their ancestral graves, and the risk is the greatest, so Europe is not bad. Dad said that my aunt is also going there, so we must ensure it. My cousin’s safety. This time, it’s comparable to Hitler’s violence against the whole of Europe.”

Li Yuan smiled when he heard this and said, "Okay, let's go play."

"play?"

Li Rui said dumbfounded.

Li Yuan said meaningfully: "What is this if it's not a joke? Ruizai, virtual finance is just like buying Mark Six Lottery. You can take your younger brothers and sisters to do a survey to see those who won the Mark Six Lottery. In the end, they are all What an ending. Conduct a worldwide investigation to see if it can affect you. Okay, go back and tell your father the good news. He doesn’t have to worry about the loss of Lan Guo’s construction funds. If this wave continues, Lan Guo will be in trouble. It can reach the normal national level.”

…

Soon, more than half a month ahead of another time and space, New Century Financial Corporation, America's second largest subprime mortgage lender, filed for bankruptcy protection in the court, kicking off the subprime mortgage crisis in America.

It also marked the beginning of the three giants’ short-selling and harvesting of the global financial market amidst countless curses.

Compared with the current financial crisis in 1998, he is not even a younger brother.

Just like Soros and Robertson cannot be compared with Rockefeller and Morgan...

…

"Grinding scissors... and cutting kitchen knives!"

"Ma... flowers... sesame cakes, sesame cakes, fried ghosts..."

In the early autumn of Beijing, the sounds of sellers and shouts can still be heard in the alleys, although there are much less.

The chaos in the international financial market and the collapse and destruction of the economies of various countries have not affected the tranquility here in the slightest.

In the alleys of Beijing, you can always feel a sense of tranquility with a sense of history and sadness.

"Mom, why are you going so early in the morning?"

Li Yuan had just arrived at his mother's room in Dongluyuan with a breakfast box in hand when he saw his mother holding a pair of scissors and walking slowly out on crutches.

Seeing her son arriving, the old lady smiled and said, "Grind the scissors. The scissors are a little old. I'll sharpen them."

Li Yuan yelled and said happily: "Mom, your ears work well!"

Mother Li smiled and said, "How can I still hear clearly... I made an agreement with someone yesterday that we will wait at the door at half past eight today."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll put down my breakfast and go with you."

Mother Li waved her hand: "No, I'll go by myself, I can still move."

Li Yuan didn't force it and said, "That's it. After sharpening the scissors, you can come back quickly. I fried the sugar cakes. They won't taste good when they are cold."

Mother Li may have felt that the situation was a bit serious, so she said, "I will send the scissors over and come back and let Xiao Liu watch."

Xiao Liu is the doorman.

After Li Yuan agreed, he watched the old lady go out quickly.

I'm over a hundred years old, so it's good to walk a few more steps.

After Li Yuan put down the food box, he didn't rush to take it out. There was hot water at the bottom to keep it warm.

The phone vibrated and he took it out from his pocket. It was the world's first full touch screen smartphone launched by Datang last year.

In fact, as early as 1994, IBM had launched a smartphone. However, at that time, neither flash memory, chips nor network speed could support a true smartphone. Therefore, after only 50,000 units were sold, this model He left the stage.

No one thought that twelve years later, Datang would enter the global mobile phone market and astonish the world with a mobile phone that did not even have a touch button...

"Lao Li, aren't you at home?"

QQ flashes, and the avatar is a relatively retro penguin. Of course, it belongs to the other party, and the name is also relatively retro: Lone Wolf.

Li Yuan's avatar is much more fashionable. He is a bearded macho man who looks like a one-eyed dragon. His online name is affectionate: Uncle Li of Siheyuan.

Li Yuan replied: Not here.

Lone Wolf: I'm so faint. You didn't answer me even if I wasn't here... Where did you go?

Uncle Li from the Siheyuan: Go meet netizens.

Lone Wolf: 7456! (I'm furious)

Uncle Li of the Siheyuan: Vomiting, vomiting!

Then the phone call came in: "Hahaha! Yuanzi, where did you go to meet your netizen? I'm telling you, young master Qin is causing trouble to the little girl. He has great-grandchildren, are you sorry?"

Li Yuan scolded: "Are you stupid for surfing the Internet? You're still 7456, you're screaming! It's so disgusting that I almost vomited out my breakfast!"

The man on the other side was laughing so hard that he was out of breath, but his voice was that of an old man, and he said: "Previously, I pretended to be a little girl, and chatted with spy Yayi for half a night, and I really learned a lot. Let me tell you, now Some serious criminals made these things for him and solved many major cases. "

The cross-dressing boss is so terrifying.

Li Yuandao: "Then you continue to hook up with people, why are you looking for me? I am very busy every day. I always feel that there is nothing good about you An Ning looking for me. No wonder there is an old bird calling outside the house..."

"Fuck you!"

After Mei Changning said happily, he asked more seriously: "Yuanzi, how come I heard some rumors that the crisis detonated in America has the shadow of your Li family behind it? Yuanzi, this is a crime that can be blamed by thousands of people. America will definitely fall out. They only spent a few dollars to launch a large-scale war. This time it will be really miserable."

Li Yuan said suspiciously: "Why do I feel happy in your tone? But this matter has nothing to do with me. If the Li family's funds flowed to America on a large scale, wouldn't they know? They would have pushed me out as a scapegoat. ”

Datang has extensive business in Europe and its funds are also distributed widely.

The reason why we are not afraid of offending Europe is because there are British troublemakers who can use the Rockefeller family's connections to cover up the situation in the City of London. Furthermore, the European countries are a loose platter. If you pull them one by one, it won’t be a big problem. And next year the polar bear Jingge starts his sexy operation, Europe is scared to death, and there is no time to take care of these small things...

Li Yuan asked strangely: "Where did you hear such ridiculous rumors? My Li family has cultivated and studied for nothing, and I have never been greedy for ill-gotten gains."

Mei Changning almost died laughing. After a while, he said: "It was just a test just now, but now I am 30% sure... Come on, I am just being blind. If you really get rich, don't forget to treat me to a drink."

Li Yuandao: "You just called me specifically to test me?"

Hearing his unkind tone, Mei Changning hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I just want to give you some words. Your Xiaojiu is going crazy in Europe, including the British, French, German, Italian, Russian and so on. America's...that movement is really good! Yuanzi, the reason why I doubt it is because of Xiaojiu."

Li Yuan wondered: "My Jiu'er is so kind and well-behaved, how could she go on a killing spree?"

Mei Changning said: "As far as I know, the news was leaked because she visited your old friend Catherine in the Sassoon family in England, but..."

Li Yuan smiled leisurely and said: "But what?"

Seeing that his mother had returned, he opened the food box and took out the sugar cakes, steamed buns, six dishes of side dishes, and a cup of goat's milk. The old lady was happy and went to eat by herself without disturbing her son's phone call.

Mei Changning said: "But I always feel that Xiaojiu is a bit fishing. Otherwise, how could the trash of the Sassoon family find her? She took the opportunity to kill the Sassoon family. Yuanzi, you don't even have it. So murderous! "

Li Yuan chuckled: "Did she kill someone she shouldn't have killed?"

Mei Changning said: "That's not the case. More than a hundred years ago, it was the Sassoon family that founded the HSBC Bank. Half of the opium smuggled into China was sold by this family. After Lin Zexu destroyed the opium at Humen, it was this family that lobbied the British Parliament to come here to start the war, opening the prelude to the century-long shame of the opium war. I have always wondered why you would keep this family with your temper. Well, now I understand, you left it to Xiaojiu to sharpen your knife. But Yuanzi, let Xiaojiu come back soon. Because of you, they have invested countless resources over the years and trained a group of good players. Well , this time Xiaojiu cleaned up most of it, but they didn't feel bad. "

Li Yuan said with contempt: "Look at your gloating look... Jiuer just went on a trip to relax. The world is so big, she just wanted to see it. Isn't it enough to ask those people in Europe not to provoke her? When have you ever seen her take the initiative to kill people?"

Mei Changning said helplessly: "Xiaojiu is not you, how many people has she taken the initiative to kill? Forget it, I know it doesn't make sense. I'll pass it on like this first, you should be prepared, Datang's business will definitely be greatly affected."

Li Yuan didn't say anything, why did America dump its manufacturing industry? Isn't it because finance is too fragrant?

The old Russians harvested a wave, and the chicken in the basin was cultivated into a pure leek. What industry is so fragrant?

Of course, Datang is not going to take this path. Manufacturing will always be the foundation of a strong country, but this wave of harvest is expected to be enough for Languo to move forward for another ten years according to the current construction progress.

In these ten years, Languo will continue to increase the purchase of high-quality products from various countries for domestic construction.

With this market, Europe will not unite to deal with Lan Country, such as Germany.

In addition to the recession caused by the economic crisis, what else can the foreigners buy if they don’t buy Datang’s cheap and high-quality products, such as palm oil?

Lan Country is the world’s largest exporter of palm oil.

So, there is no need to look ahead and behind.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan saw the old lady looking at him with a smile, so he asked: "Mom, are you full?"

Li's mother smiled and said: "I'm full, and I left half for your second sister-in-law later. Youngest, clean up the old house in Qinjiazhuang. After the New Year this year, I want to live in the old house."

Li Yuan felt a pain in his heart, his face was not showing, he nodded and smiled: "Okay. You don't say, I also miss the old house. Tsk, the New Year was so lively when I was a child. Mom, why don’t we go back to the old house for the New Year this year, have a big reunion year, and everyone will come back."

Li's mother shook her head and smiled : "If I don't work so hard, I can't recognize all the children. Just call Kun'er, Li Cheng, Li Jun, Li Zhi, Li Yuan, and Li Xi."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry about causing trouble for me. What's the trouble for me? They are all waiters. Although there are many children, they all respect and love you. Come back and kowtow to the ancestors! Mom, you are much more blessed than the old lady Shi in Rongguo Mansion. Your children and grandchildren are all very proud of you."

Mother Li was even happier after hearing this and said, "Didn't it cause you any trouble?"

"No!"

Li Yuan said happily.

Mother Li smacked her lips upon hearing this. Her teeth had long since fallen out, and now she had dentures installed. Her mouth was still retracted, but she looked more kind. She looked at the falling autumn leaves outside the window, her eyes full of the marks of time, and she smiled and sighed: "That's good, that's good."

...

"Eighth Uncle! Hahaha! I miss you so much! How is it, how is my guess? Eighth Uncle hasn't changed much!"

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Cheng and a group of brothers returned to the palace from all over the country. When they saw Li Yuan making a snowman with his granddaughter in the courtyard, they laughed and came forward to hug and greet him.

Li Cheng, he did a great job in Qilu.

Who benefited the most from the long-term war launched by America in the desert?

Was it the American arms dealers?

No, the war just made them richer, that's all.

The one who benefited the most was Li Cheng.

Qilu has mines underground and is close to the sea, with domestic demand and foreign trade.

Since 2004, China has entered a peak of infrastructure construction, and Qilu, which provides resources and heavy industry, has benefited greatly. Cement, steel, oil, chemicals, coal, and building materials are among the top three in the country, and GDP exceeds that of Jiangnan.

Externally, the food, drink, defecation, and daily necessities of the 100,000 troops stationed in the desert by America and NATO mostly come from China, which is of high quality and low price.

Of course, the purchase price is one thing, and the reimbursement is another.

And a considerable part of these industrial products almost all come from Qilu.

With the right time, place, and people, Qilu has become an industrial powerhouse!

Just look at the high-spirited Li Cheng and you will know that it is a foregone conclusion that he will move up to the next level.

After his granddaughter called everyone away, Li Kun smiled and said, "Zhiguo is such a lovely girl. My husband loves her so much that he wants to take her home to raise her."

After that, he whispered, "Uncle Eighth, Li Ba, Li Lei and others are out. Can they come to kowtow to grandma during the New Year?"

Li Yuan was speechless for a moment, and more than 20 nephews and nieces also quieted down, waiting for their uncle's decision.

Fortunately, it was only a little later, and Li Yuan said lightly, "Kowtow and leave. Let's do it on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Don't come on the 30th. You have to go back to the old house to celebrate the New Year on the 30th, so as not to bring bad luck."

The three generations of the Li family were all awed when they heard this. On the 28th, it was probably the last time that Li Ba, Li Lei and others set foot in this palace.

Li Kun pursed his lips and cursed: "You deserve it! A bunch of unsatisfactory things!" He paused and whispered: "Uncle Eighth, but their children... of course, it's fine as it is now, Xiao Rui and Li Feng They have always taken care of them. They are doing well in school. But...if they fail to pass the political examination and get into business, I don’t think they will be able to start from scratch.”

Li Yuandao: "Go see grandma first and talk about it later."

After Li Kun agreed, a group of people surrounded Li Yuan and walked inside. Li Kun smiled and said: "Uncle Eighth, I'm almost at the station. Although I can get another promotion and retire with dignity, I don't think it's interesting, forget it. . It’s not convenient to go to another level of retirement. Next year, I plan to quit and work as a consultant in Languo. "

Li Yuan smiled and said, "You will be sixty next year."

Li Kun said: "It's almost done. I went to work at the age of eighteen, worked for forty-eight years, and dedicated for forty-eight years. I dare not say how much credit I have, but from the beginning, I have kept in mind the eight words of 'love the country, be loyal to the people' taught by my eighth uncle. I I think I have not embarrassed my eighth uncle. I have had a clear conscience for the country and the people for decades. There is not much time left to do anything, just ten years, just like the eighth aunt. That way, I will only provide experience and analysis, but will not make decisions or interfere with the operation of the political system of Lan Guo. When I am seventy, I will come back to retire and travel around the world. "

Li Tang smiled and said: "My eldest brother will be the official staff officer, and then I will work for Fugui as a military consultant. I worked in the armored force for half my life, and then I was transferred to the Second Artillery for ten years, and I worked in the construction of the rocket force. , I still have some experience. Languo is an island country, and it occupies a large island. The armored troops are of little use, but the missile troops, especially the air defense troops and coastal defense, are very important. Li Jun and I go fishing together. "If you have something to do, I'll provide you with some experience, and I'll do it for ten years. But I've agreed that after ten years, Uncle Ba will lend me your RV."

Li Yuan laughed and scolded: "Stop dreaming! It's hard to get to this point. In the past, it was just a living room with eight seats. It was a frontier official and an important member of the court. Even if you retire, you will still have a lot of benefits. , there are still disciples who are paying homage to the past, and the good days have just begun. How should I put it, the intensity of construction is equivalent to that of the great strides, even if you are a consultant, you have to travel back and forth in the past few years. It’s a lot of hardship.”

Li Kun said with a smile: "It is precisely because we knew the situation over there that we made such a decision. Without the eighth uncle, my nephew would not be where he is today. There was no reward at all in the beginning, but now that Lan Guo employs people, we happen to have some experience, so we can If you put in some effort, just put in some effort. In addition, if we go there, the younger generation will easily become the Eight Banners. "

Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "You, Li Xing, Xiaojiu and the others can discuss these matters. There is a lot of construction going on there, and they really need experienced officials. I can rest assured that you can go over and help."

…

"Brother Rui!"

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a girl in her early twenties stood at the door of a guest house next to the Third Ring Road and the Heping West Bridge. She looked at the handsome young man and jumped up and down with joy and waved.

There were several boys of about the same age following him, all of whom were very happy.

Li Rui is wearing a dark woolen coat and his hair is combed in a stylish way. His father is Li Xing, who is very handsome like Li Yuan, and his mother is Cao Yongshan, who is also a first-rate beauty and has inherited the good genes of his father and ancestors. , coupled with his good temperament, he looks very outstanding.

Walking closer, Li Rui patted the little girl's hair with a smile and said, "Xiaoyue, Xiaojun, why do you live here? Didn't I tell you to stay at the Datang Restaurant?"

Li Yue, Li Lei's daughter, Li Jun, Li Ba's son, Li Lian, Li Bao's son...

When their parents committed crimes, these children fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

The worst thing is that even the family foundation has been terminated.

How proud and jumpy I was earlier, how miserable I was when I fell into the dust after the incident.

The family that once relied on them as a mountain has severed all ties, and even their grandparents have ignored them.

When they couldn't stand it any longer, it was Li Rui who descended from the sky and saved them from despair.

And gave them the opportunity to change their destiny: study with peace of mind and become talents through study.

Although I can no longer get thousands of favors based on my family background like in the past, at least I no longer need to be beaten, scolded, humiliated and trampled on, and I can study with peace of mind.

Thanks to a strong drive, the grades of all these seven or eight children soared.

What made them even more excited was that this year, they received a call from their family in Beijing to celebrate the New Year...

"Brother Rui, my scholarship is limited, so living here is pretty good."

Li Yue still looks cheerful.

Li Jun, on the other hand, said with emotion: "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. I don't know if I can ever experience such ups and downs again. Forget it, I'd better endure more hardships. I've seen you at home. Let’s wait and see what happens later.”

Li Rui smiled and said nothing.

Li Yue, on the other hand, glared at his cousin and said: "You kowtow when you see your grandma, how dare you talk nonsense? Besides, it was my dad and your dad who did something wrong in the first place. It's good that we can live here now. What else is going on? Don’t be confused!”

Next to him, Li Lian also chuckled and said: "We are not officially the descendants of the Li family now, and we haven't really returned to the family yet."

Li Rui said: "Stop talking about this. Come with me. Your sister-in-law is buying new clothes for the little guys like Li Qiang and Li Rui over at Wangfujing, so you can go there together. I can intervene in whatever decisions the older generation makes. . You all know the situation of our family and my status. The heir to the famous God of War is a loser, hehe."

Seeing Li Rui's self-deprecating joke, Li Yue hurriedly said loudly: "Brother Rui, you are by no means a loser!"

Li Rui waved his hand and said: "Compared with my grandfather, father, uncle, and aunt, I am just a fool. Of course, I have never given up studying and strive to get rid of this reputation as soon as possible. Now you are also struggling, so hold on. Li Ba Brother, they only have one chance to kowtow. You still have a chance to say a few words to the elders, but don’t complain. Remember this, the family has never owed you anything. It’s Li Ba. Brother and the others owe the family a debt. Therefore, you must understand from the bottom of your heart, like Xiao Yue. Otherwise, if you find out that you are not telling the truth, you will lose your last chance to return to the family. Chance."

Li Yue was very grateful and said: "Brother Rui, thank you for telling us this. According to the rules, you shouldn't reveal this to us..."

Li Rui smiled and said: "No matter what, we all have similar blood in our blood. We are relatives. Let's go, don't keep my mother and the others waiting."

…

At night, the palace.

The upper room of the East Road courtyard, inside the Nuan Pavilion.

Daughter-in-law, grandson-in-law, great-granddaughter-in-law, granddaughter, granddaughter-in-law, great-granddaughter, great-granddaughter...

The hall is filled with pearls and emeralds, which shine brightly.

The home of a former farmer has become a family of generations, with an extraordinary atmosphere.

Several old people of the Shui generation were in the main hall, chatting with their nephews and nephews, and they were overjoyed.

Only Li Yuan has been accompanying his mother in the Nuan Pavilion, laughing with the laughter of the female relatives from time to time. Li's mother is really too old. She can't seem to recognize many people and can't understand what they are laughing at. She just laughs over and over again. He looked at his family without much smile.

Li Yuan explained and made the old lady laugh.

"Mom, are you tired?"

Li Yuan asked.

Whenever he spoke, the laughter in the hall instantly died down.

Mother Li smiled and shook her head, and Li Yuan asked again: "Are you hungry?"

Mother Li still smiled and shook her head.

At this time, Amei, the eighth daughter-in-law, announced at the door: "Uncle San and the others are here."

Hu La La A large group of people came in, thanks to the high standard of the palace, but even so, it was still overcrowded.

But now even though it was crowded, no one left.

Looking at the calm faces of the men in the family, the women knew that those people were coming...

Compared to the high-spirited and extraordinary Li family disciples, the six in the middle seemed particularly different.

Unable to conceal the feeling of decadence, embarrassment and even shabbiness...

"Grandma, I am an unfilial grandson, and I have come to kowtow to you and say New Year greetings."

Li Ba, Li Lei and others knelt on the ground and kowtowed in silence.

Their parents all turned their heads to one side, especially the sixth brother and the sixth sister-in-law, two of the four children went in.

Seeing that Mother Li was in a trance, Li Yuan smiled and said, "Those who were unlucky before were released from prison and thought of coming over to kowtow to you. After kowtowing and leaving, it can be regarded as fulfilling their filial piety."

After hearing this, Mother Li looked at a few people for a while, but she only responded: "Oh." She stopped talking.

The third sister-in-law, the sixth sister-in-law, and the seventh sister-in-law began to wipe their tears. Li Kun said in a low voice: "Twenty-seven, you guys, let's go. From now on, be a good person and don't take the wrong path again."

Li Ba and others stood up with tears of remorse on their faces. After bowing to several elders, they left one by one with heavy steps.

After they left, Li Yuan smiled at Mother Li and said: "Keep working hard, they are still young, and there is still a long road ahead, so they may not be unable to turn over."

Mother Li nodded and said, "No matter how difficult it is, it's not as difficult as it was for you back then."

Li Yue and others wanted to say something, but they heard Li Yuan express his position: "This matter ends here. From now on, it depends on their own destiny. I hope they can live well. Mom, Mr. Mei Lanfang's little My son, Mei Lao, came to my house on the 9th and 30th of the year to sing you a piece of "Magu's Birthday". He heard that you are a centenarian and he must come to get good luck. "

Mother Li smiled and said, "Nine Young Masters have a better voice than his father, but he can't sing with the energy in the play. No one can sing except Boss Mei."

Lou Xiao'e said happily: "Hey! Mom, you are now one of the people who appreciate Peking Opera!"

Mother Li smiled and said, "He is already over seventy years old. Let him spend the New Year at home."

Lou Xiao'e came up with an idea and said, "Mom, if you want Yuanzi to sing for you, he can do everything."

Li Yuanhao said proudly: "Mom, how about playing "Call Xiao Fan" from "Silang Visits His Mother"?"

Mother Li smiled from ear to ear and said, "Can you sing?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Isn't that easy? When I saw the princess stealing the order arrow, I couldn't help but feel happy. I stood at the palace gate and called... Xiao... Fan!!"

"Ouch!!"

This sudden display of skills filled the hall with cheers of surprise.

Li Yuan had an idea: "Mom, I'll call you a meeting on the 30th night and let's listen to cross talk!!"

Li Cheng's daughter Li Yan, who is thirty years old this year, was surprised when she heard this: "Deyun Club, Guo Degang? His cross talk is very interesting!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Yuan, the Eighteenth, and Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements! This year, our whole family will celebrate the New Year in harmony!"

...

"Waves of income are coming in continuously, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger."

On the night of the 29th, Li Xing hurriedly flew from Hong Kong Island to Beijing. At this time, Li's mother had already gone to bed, so she held a simple meeting with her father, brothers and sisters in the conference room. Her tone was full of happiness, the happiness of harvesting dollars.

Li Yuan smiled and said nothing. Jiu'er smiled and said, "That's great. I have to split a dollar into two halves to spend now, and I'm already broke. Big brother, you don't have to be stingy anymore, right?"

Li Si, Fugui, Xiaoqi and others all laughed.

Except Xiaoba, all the eight brothers and sisters have arrived.

Li Xing smiled helplessly and said, "Jiu'er, it's not that big brother is stingy. Building roads, bridges and railways are all bottomless pits. You still shoot arrows at the same time... Come on, come on, take a look at how many white hairs big brother has on his head in the past two years!"

Little Jiu smiled and said, "Big brother, large infrastructure drives the overall development of Lan Country. Although it is radical and leap-forward, with rich resources and sufficient foreign exchange reserves, the national strength is advancing by leaps and bounds. What's more, the investment needed now is counted as a loan from the Datang Investment Fund of the Lan Country's treasury, and it will be repaid in the future, including interest. In addition, most of the high-tech companies currently invested and built are owned by the Datang. In this way, the economic lifeline of the entire Lan Country is affected by the Datang. No matter how you calculate it, big brother is not at a disadvantage, right?"

The brothers and sisters laughed and said auspiciously, " Jiuer, you are getting better and better. "

Xiaojiu said: "Fourth brother, the cost of building a wafer factory in Lan Country is lower than that in the mainland?"

Jixiang nodded and smiled and admitted: "Lan Country has too many resource and power advantages, and you are still developing hydropower. Seventh brother-in-law also contributed. The natural quartz sand mine he discovered has huge reserves and extremely high purity, which can be used to make photovoltaic and semiconductor-grade silicon raw materials. So after Jiuer urged to build the road, Lan Country has become our blessed land. The cost reduction is not a little bit..."

Amidst the laughter, Li Yuan asked Li Xing: "How is Lehman Brothers now?"

Li Xing didn't understand, and looked at Li Yuan and said: "Dad, what happened to Lehman Brothers?"

This investment bank with a history of 150 years is one of the five largest investment banks in America, the other four are Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Bear Stearns.

Compared with Lehman Brothers, New Century Financial, which caused an uproar after its bankruptcy, is not even a leg hair.

This is a super giant with total assets of more than 600 billion US dollars, and the securities and investments entrusted to operate are more than 8 trillion US dollars.

This is the real thunderbolt.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Nothing, the big show hasn't officially started yet. Wait a little longer, and you won't be afraid of Jiu'er chasing you for money anymore."

The 48-year-old Li Xing's eyes were shining, and he took a breath and said, "It hasn't officially started yet?! Dad, if that's the case, then we have to eat a lot this time, eat to death this time!!"

Li Yuan laughed, the evaporation of tens of trillions of dollars, even if it's just a handful of oil, is enough for the Tang Dynasty to eat up, he smiled and said, "But such a good thing will never happen again in the future. Even if it happens again, the Li family can't do it again. Otherwise, we will really become the world's public enemy. If it weren't for the bottomless pit of Lan Country, which can convert financial assets into real fixed assets, I wouldn't even want to do it this time. Well, let's talk about business here. In a word, the situation of our family will only get better and better next year. Go and rest."

Li Xing, Li Si, Fugui, Jixiang, Ruyi, Zhiguo and others naturally didn't want to go to bed so early, and the brothers went to another yard to drink and chat.

After adulthood, it was difficult for them to see each other.

In the living room outside, their wives and children were all there, chatting and laughing with Lou Xiaoe and the others.

Li Rui saw his father, uncles, and aunts coming out, so he stood up and said to Li Xing, "Dad, I have something to talk to Grandpa about."

Li Xing smiled, and Jixiang joked, "Ruizi, it's okay, you're already talking to Grandpa?"

Lou Xiu drove him away, "Go, go, don't delay Xiao Rui's business. Rui'er, go in, Grandpa is inside, talk to him nicely, don't be afraid."

Li Rui scratched his head and said, "Grandma, I didn't think of being afraid until you said it. When you said that, I became nervous and scared..."

Lou Xiu rolled her eyes at him and encouraged him, "Go quickly. Otherwise, your grandpa will have to rest in a while, and you won't have a chance today."

Li Xing nodded and said, "Go quickly as Grandma taught you." Then he called his brothers and sisters to the next yard for barbecue, drinking, and chatting.

He still refused to bring the younger generation with him.

An Nuo couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Rui, hurry up, let's go drink next door after we're done!"

Lou Xiao'e laughed and encouraged, "Yes! We can't lose to them!"

Qin Daxue smiled leisurely, "Fortunately the yard is big, otherwise it wouldn't be big enough for them to make a fuss."

Li Rui entered the meeting room and saw his grandfather standing by the window looking at the excitement in the yard outside, so he told him about Li Yue, Li Jun and others.

After listening, Li Yuan asked, "Your uncle Kun suggested sending them to Languo to take the civil service exam, what do you think?"

Li Rui scratched his head and said, "I don't think it's appropriate. But since Uncle Kun has spoken, it's not a big deal to let them go. After all, with the little aunt around, no one can jump up and down. And they also have to take the exam, and they have to have real skills and knowledge if they pass the exam."

Li Yuan was quite satisfied with what he heard, and said, "Okay, go and have fun."

Li Rui happily said goodbye and left.

"Let me introduce to you all, the famous crosstalk actor Yu Qian!"

"I dare not!"

"Okay!"

"Really, what's good about it?"

"Everywhere is good, on stage, good, off stage, human nature, ugh - it's really good!"

"Is this good? This is it?"

"What's wrong?"

"You spit on me!"

"No, no, a dragonfly just flew in - do you believe it?"

February 6, 2008.

New Year's Eve.

The crosstalk actors Guo Degang and Yu Qian, who have become popular in the past two years, were invited to Qinjiazhuang to perform a classic crosstalk "Entrusting Wife and Son".

The crosstalk lasted for more than 40 minutes, and Li's mother was amused.

In the past two years, Lao Guo has been working very hard, and his performance is at a god-level level.

After the performance, the business of touring Lan Country was directly negotiated. Lao Guo smiled like a husky and returned to the city happily.

Li's mother was in a surprisingly good spirit today. She greeted this and that, which scared Li Yuan. He found an opportunity to secretly check her pulse and found that it was not yet the day. He was relieved and spent the Spring Festival with the whole family!

In any case, this is the most cherished Spring Festival in the rest of my life...

While drinking, I could faintly hear Li Zhi, Li Ming and other bad grandsons, laughing and discussing the selfie incident of Brother Edison that shocked the world.

Suddenly, I realized that it was already this year...
