Chapter 790 Men Are Superficial

On February 14, 1991, Lunar New Year's Eve, just as Chinese families were reunited and celebrating the New Year, Japan, across the sea, was experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe.

Japan's economic bubble has been completely burst.

If the stock market decline in Japan in the second half of 1990 still gave the Japanese some illusions and hoped that it would only be a temporary correction, then in February 1991, as the Bank of Japan Ministry of Finance required all financial institutions to control real estate loans, The Bank of Japan required all commercial banks to significantly reduce loans and effectively stopped lending to the real estate industry.

Japan’s property market is finally unstoppable!

Just like many Hong Kong people who play stocks, they basically speculate in real estate and futures. The same is true for the Japanese. A large amount of money has been trapped in the stock market. The drop in property market prices means that the last straw that breaks the camel's back has finally fallen. down.

Even the most optimistic Japanese are aware that an unprecedented disaster is coming.

In the Tokyo property market, where it was originally hard to find a house, house prices plummeted from the peak of 8 million yen per square meter to 4 million yen per square meter, and still no one took over.

The property market, like the stock market, is actually a game of drumming and passing flowers. The reason why people are willing to take over is because they have confidence in the future.

Once confidence collapses, it is irreversible.

The property market is closely related to the stock market. The collapse of the property market quickly brought down the Tokyo stock market. The Nikkei Index shrank by nearly half from its peak of 32,000 points, and 16,000 points is not the end.

"Okay, I get it, good job."

After hanging up Big Brother, Qin Hao waved his fist fiercely. Just now, the Japanese stock broker reported that all the Nikkei Index short selling contracts in his hands had been settled.

The original principal of 1.8 billion yen has now become 19 billion yen after one and a half years, which is 140 million U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of U.S. dollar to Japanese yen of 1:135.

Qin Hao's initial withdrawal of all funds from the Hong Kong stock market was US$15 million, which means that he made nearly 10 times the profit from the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble this time.

This is the charm of finance + leverage.

"What are you so happy about?" Wang Mingzhu looked confused. In her impression, Qin Hao rarely looked so happy.

Qin Hao grabbed Wang Mingzhu's soft little hand and said with a smile: "I just cut a piece of fat from my body when I was young, so I can have a fat year."

Wang Mingzhu pulled her hand back and spat softly: "We'll be home soon. Be careful if my dad sees you and gets angry with you again."

Qin Hao laughed, held Wang Mingzhu's hand forcefully, and strode towards the alley: "I'm not afraid, your mother will help me."

"Shameless." Wang Mingzhu's pretty face turned red, but she didn't break away this time. In the 1990s, if a man and a woman came to meet their parents, it was basically considered a relationship. This was a tacit thing.

Inevitably, Qin Hao and Wang Mingzhu were surrounded by onlookers. The alleys were filled with neighbors who had lived together for decades. They had all watched Wang Mingzhu grow up. Naturally, she needed help when she brought someone to her door. check.

Qin Hao is quite experienced in this aspect, and with his conditions in place, he quickly received unanimous praise and successfully passed the test.

"Hey, Xiao Qin is here. Sit down quickly. Didn't this kid tell you not to bring anything with you? It's just like being at home." Mother Wang welcomed Qin Hao in with a smile.

"Auntie, I don't treat you like outsiders. You and uncle have raised Xiao Wang so well, so it's only right for me to respect you."

Qin Hao's words made Wang's mother laugh so hard that her crow's feet appeared. Wang's father, who was hiding behind the newspaper, had a wrinkled face and said in a sour tone: "Slick and tongue-in-cheek, you can tell he's lying to the little girl at first sight. "

Wang Mingzhu also stared at Qin Hao with a suspicious look. Qin Hao shouted that he was wronged. At least in this world, he had not had a girlfriend yet.

"Xiao Qin, please sit down for a while, I just have two more dishes."

"Auntie, let me help you."

"No, no, no, Monday, don't read the newspaper there, chat with Xiao Qin for a while, play chess or something."

Dad Wang perked up when he heard this. Yes, playing chess is his specialty, which can just poke this guy's spirit.

"Ahem, can the boy play chess?"

Qin Hao's face looked a little unnatural: "I understand a little, I understand a little."

"Chess or Go?"

"How about chess?"

Half an hour later, Wang's father removed the chess board with a livid face.

"Good boy, you are still playing tricks on me, aren't you?"

Qin Hao shouted that he was wronged: "Uncle, I..."

As a result, before he could finish his words, Wang's father had already taken out the Go game and said with determination: "My chess skills are average, but I have won prizes in Go. If we are capable, we can play Go."

"You know how to play Go, right?"

Qin Hao hesitated: "Yes, I can, but"

"There are so many, but I'll let you take charge." Dad Wang geared up, looking like he wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.

This time it took a little longer. Almost an hour later, Wang's father put the chess box on the table and went to the kitchen angrily.

When Wang Mingzhu saw this, she couldn't help but give Qin Hao a complaining look: "You can't just let my dad do it, you'll make the old man angry."

"I gave in, who knew he was such a bad chess player." Qin Hao also looked helpless. He played these few games with the mentality of giving instructions, and he would not capture if he could, but the old man still got angry.

In the kitchen, Father Wang said directly to Mother Wang: "I don't agree that this boy is with our daughter. This boy has bad character."

"Why not?"

"You can tell a person's character by his chess skills. This boy could have eaten my dragon earlier, but he didn't do it. He kept dragging it out, clearly humiliating me."

Mother Wang rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "I think you are angry because you lost. It's just a game of chess. What's the big deal?"

"Not just one game, but several games. Moreover, this boy is not honest. When I asked him if he knew chess, he said he knew a little bit. As a result, he won three games in a row. My chess skills have won the runner-up in the unit."

"If I remember correctly, the year you won the runner-up, the section chief and the deputy section chief did not participate. You are the most likely candidate to succeed the deputy section chief."

"."

At the table, Mother Wang kept picking up dishes for Qin Hao. Xiao Qin tried this and that, which made Wang Mingzhu a little jealous.

"Mom, I want some too."

Mother Wang glared at her: "You're so old, how can you not pick it up by yourself?"

"Don't pay attention to her, this child has been spoiled by her father. If she makes trouble in the future, tell Auntie and Auntie will help you deal with her."

Wang Mingzhu widened her eyes, with an expression: Are you my mother or my mother?

Dad Wang was so angry that his teeth itched, and he poured Qin Hao a full glass of wine with a roll of his eyes.

"Xiao Qin, don't just focus on eating. Come on, this opportunity is rare, let's have a drink."

The ending was not unexpected. Dad Wang was finally carried back to the room by Qin Hao. This veteran who had experienced many years of drinking and experienced the most painful failure in his life after retirement for many years.

In the next few days, since Qin Hao's relatives had passed away, Mother Wang warmly invited Qin Hao to stay at their house for the New Year. According to Mother Wang's intention, it was time to talk about marriage.

But Wang Mingzhu said that she didn't want to get married so early.

"I still want to take over my master's class and become a golden flower at No. 27, The Bund."

Mother Wang was so anxious: "Can you clear your mind? Xiao Qin is so good, how many women are crying and shouting to marry him? Don't you know that the night is long and dreams are many?"

Finally, Qin Hao did ideological work for Mother Wang. Anyway, with the help of A Bao, Wang Mingzhu will be promoted to section chief in two years at most.

"Since Xiao Wang doesn't want to get married for the time being, let's get engaged first."

So, on the day of the Lantern Festival, Qin Hao and Wang Mingzhu's engagement ceremony was held in Jin Meilin.

Originally, Qin Hao didn't plan to mobilize a large number of people, just invite some relatives and friends of the Wang family, and then invite A Bao, Tao Tao and others to have fun together.

As a result, after the news leaked, Qin Hao's phone was directly blown up.

If you invite this but not that, others will say that you look down on him.

There is no way, Qin Hao can only book the entire Jin Meilin, setting up 88 tables, and then barely sitting down.

Even so, it was hard to get an invitation card. Many representatives of manufacturers wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get acquainted with Qin Hao, and they paid a lot of money to buy it. The highest price was even 10,000 yuan for an invitation card.

An invitation card was worth 10,000 yuan, and it became a new legend on Huanghe Road.

Jin Meilin, which had always been suppressed by Jin Fenghuang, became the best-performing restaurant on Huanghe Road again, and Lu Meilin couldn't stop smiling.

At the same time, Wang Mingzhu also became the most eye-catching pearl at No. 27 Bund.

Everyone knew that with Qin Hao's escort, Wang Mingzhu would definitely have a bright future at No. 27 Bund.

"Alas, how can Xiao Wang be so lucky to be favored by Mr. Qin?"

"Is there any need to ask? She is beautiful. Don't think that Xiao Wang is not very noticeable when she wears glasses. You can see today that she takes off her glasses and puts on a wedding dress. She is no worse than those Hong Kong stars."

"Tsk tsk, men are really superficial these days."

Mei Ping did not join in the discussion of her colleagues.

When she saw Wang Mingzhu getting into Qin Hao's car, she realized that the relationship between the two was not simple, but she didn't expect that they would be engaged so soon.

At this moment, she only had Wang Mingzhu standing in the center of the stage, standing with Qin Hao, like a perfect couple.

The flames of jealousy almost burned her to ashes. That was the position she dreamed of, but she didn't dare to hope for.

Mei Ping came from the countryside. Her parents were farmers. She studied hard all the way and finally got into college. She originally thought that she could change her fate from then on.

But when she arrived at the company, she found that it was not the case. As a salesperson, he had connections and big business came to him right away, while she could only look for small orders that no one cared about. Sometimes, she would be poached just after she made some achievements.

Why did Wang Mingzhu win the favor of Section Chief Jinhua as soon as she arrived at No. 27 The Bund? Why did she become the focus of everyone?

Just because she has good parents? Just because she is beautiful?

Is this fair? It’s not fair!

“Here we come.”

“It’s finally our turn.”

“Congratulations, Xiao Wang.”

Colleagues raised their glasses to congratulate Wang Mingzhu.

Wang Mingzhu was a little embarrassed by the teasing of everyone, and hid behind Qin Hao to avoid everyone’s hot eyes, but she was soon caught and could only hold up the glass.

“Thank you all for coming to my engagement ceremony. I toast to everyone.”

"Ah? That's it?"

"That's right, at least you have to tell us about your love story with Mr. Qin."

"Yes, this must be told, so that we can learn from it. Maybe one day we will meet a rich husband."

Everyone started to make a noise, and Wang Mingzhu covered her face and blushed.

"Don't make it difficult for her. It was Xiao Wang who was pursued by me. She doesn't have any experience to share with you, but I can share some experience with you." Qin Hao put his arm around Wang Mingzhu's shoulders to help her out.

"In one word, thick-skinned. It's easy for a man to pursue a woman, and it's easy for a woman to pursue a man. When you see a boy with good conditions, don't let him go. Don't give up until you achieve your goal."

The words made Wang Mingzhu's colleagues laugh.

"Ah Hao, this is my best colleague Mei Ping." Wang Mingzhu saw Mei Ping still in a daze, and took the initiative to pull Qin Hao to her.

Mei Ping woke up as if from a dream, and stumbled to fill a glass of wine for herself.

"Well, Xiao Wang, Mr. Qin congratulates you."

Qin Hao looked at Mei Ping meaningfully and nodded: "Thank you."

"Ahao, come here."

"Okay, mom."

Wang Mingzhu said to Mei Ping: "Xiaomei, we'll go first, you eat slowly."

Then she pulled Qin Hao to Wang's mother's place, where a bunch of relatives were waiting for them to toast.

Looking at the backs of Qin Hao and Wang Mingzhu, Mei Ping's eyes became firm.

"One day I will replace you and become the focus."

After toasting a circle of people, Qin Hao and Wang Mingzhu came to the table of Abao and Taotao.

"Congratulations, Miss Wang, Ahao, you are quite quick, you have dealt with your mother-in-law."

Although Abao's tone was teasing, his heart was full of envy. Once upon a time, he also hoped to enter the palace of marriage with his lover and live a plain life.

Tao Tao winked at Qin Hao: "It's so troublesome to get engaged, just get married and have a son soon."

Fang Mei rolled her eyes at him, then said to Wang Mingzhu: "Miss Wang, ignore him, Tao Tao likes to talk nonsense when he's drunk."

"It's okay, it's rare that I'm happy today."

Qin Hao patted A Bao on the shoulder: "When I get married, it's up to you."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Xiao Wang said that she wants to take over her master's class and become a golden flower at No. 27, the Bund, before considering getting married."

"Oh, so I really have to work harder and get more foreign trade orders, not for making money, but to drink your wedding wine sooner."

"Haha~~~" A Bao and the others laughed.

Although Wang Mingzhu blushed, she also laughed along.

After the engagement party, Wang Mingzhu was removing her makeup. Qin Hao hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Do you know what makes you most attractive?"

"What?"

"When I smile unconsciously."

"Hate it, you are the fool."
