Chapter 478 The Blessing of Having All the People and the Greatest Opportunity of the Century
Seeing this scene in front of him, Li Xiaofan actually felt inexplicably embarrassed.
A while ago, when Yueyue was away, Liu Mengchen dedicated her first time to him.
There has been a lot of fun these days.
Two young men and women live together under the same roof. The girl takes the initiative, and she is also a beautiful girl who has been in love with him for a long time. As a young boy with extremely strong hormones and healthy physical functions, it is really difficult for Li Xiaofan to control himself, especially after drinking.
Although Li Xiaofan regretted it afterwards, the two girls in this row house had become his physical partners, which was somewhat of a trouble.
"Yueyue, is your dad in good health?" Li Xiaofan asked after entering the house.
"Hey, how can it get better? That's it. My dad has returned home from the hospital. Before coming back, I hired a nanny to help my mom take care of my dad. I don't know if he can survive this New Year. New Year……"
Speaking of sadness, tears rolled down Guo Hanyue's face.
"Yueyue, if your father's condition is really bad, you can go back and take care of him at any time. We don't lack you in the optical shop..."
Li Xiaofan and Liu Mengchen comforted her together.
When Guo Hanyue went upstairs to take a shower, Liu Mengchen leaned close to Li Xiaofan's ear and said softly and mischievously: "Boss, Sister Yueyue is back today, I won't come over tonight..."
"Oh, okay." Li Xiaofan responded casually.
In fact, after hearing this, Li Xiaofan was startled.
Afterwards, I was speechless for a while.
He was thinking about what Liu Mengchen meant by saying this: Did Liu Mengchen already know about his relationship with Yueyue, or was it because Liu Mengchen was back and it was inconvenient for her to come to her room?
Li Xiaofan guessed that Liu Mengchen might know more about his close relationship with Yueyue.
The way girls treat boys is completely different after having an intimate relationship. Normally, Guo Hanyue's intimacy with Li Xiaofan cannot be hidden.
In particular, Guo Hanyue often came to Li Xiaofan's room in the middle of the night. She could not control herself and would always make a lot of noises, which would inevitably make Liu Mengchen aware...
For Li Xiaofan at the moment, he would rather Liu Mengchen knew about his relationship with Yueyue, so as not to hide it and make it difficult for him to balance.
He lit a cigar and took a long puff.
Listening to the sound of running water coming from the shower upstairs, Liu Mengchen playfully took the cigar from Li Xiaofan's hand and secretly took a sip. As a result, he choked "cough cough cough".
Li Xiaofan patted her back gently and said with a smile: "Idiot, are you okay?"
Liu Mengchen, who was choking and blushing, hugged Li Xiaofan playfully: "Boss, kiss me well and I will spare you tonight..."
Before Li Xiaofan could answer, she hooked her arms around Li Xiaofan's neck and raised her head for a brief passionate kiss.
Then, she left Li Xiaofan's arms and said naughtily: "Boss, I went upstairs to rest. Please take it easy tonight..."
After saying that, he went upstairs.
Halfway up the stairs, she didn't forget to look back at Li Xiaofan. She lifted up her long, white legs under her short skirt. With a charming look, she playfully put her fingers on her lips and whispered: "Boss, do you want to see a nurse uniform?"
"Look at your head!"
Li Xiaofan glared at her with a smile and said softly: "It's time to take a shower and go to bed!"
"Haha, 88, Good night!"
Looking at Liu Mengchen's back, Li Xiaofan remembered the interview scene between them when they came here to rent a house last year. How much has changed now...
After Li Xiaofan took a shower and entered the room, while he was lying on the bed reading a book, a burst of fragrance floated in with the gentle sound of the door opening.
Guo Hanyue came in wearing light pajamas and turned off the desk lamp with a click.
Then, he hugged Li Xiaofan and said, "Fan, I miss you so much!"
While Yueyue was struggling desperately, Li Xiaofan felt a little depressed. What he was thinking about was what Liu Mengchen was doing downstairs at the moment...
…
Early the next morning, Li Xiaofan took the time to go to Tanah Merah Country Club to play half a round of golf with Ye Niya as usual.
After taking a shower and having breakfast at the club, a news article in the economic section of The Straits Times caught Li Xiaofan's attention. The author of the article is a Wall Street Journal economic observer based in Thailand.
The article said that in recent years, Thailand has learned from Singapore’s experience in opening up to the outside world and has made great efforts to open up to foreign investment. Since the 1990s, foreign direct investment has flowed into Thailand in large quantities, with Japanese manufacturers beginning to help Thailand build light industrial production capacity.
In the first half of 1996, Thailand received nearly US$5 billion in short-term funds, half of which came from Japan. In the first half of this year, Thailand's foreign debt has risen sharply to US$50 billion, accounting for more than half of GDP. The vast majority of US dollars are borrowed by private business units, and most of them are short-term funds.
The author of the article said that what is worrying is that Thailand's short-term debt may exceed the country's foreign exchange reserves of more than 30 billion US dollars by the end of the year.
Previously, a large amount of excess liquidity entered the Thai real estate and stock markets.
In addition to the stock market, a considerable part of the funds have entered the real estate industry. Thailand's fixed investment accounted for GDP as a proportion of less than 25% before 1989, after 1989 it rose to 30%, and now it has risen to 40%.
But the quality of these fixed investment loans is worrying. According to statistics, by June 1996, the non-performing assets of various banks in Thailand reached an astonishing 35.8%.
At the same time, Thailand is also facing a serious trade deficit. In 1994, Thailand's current account deficit was US$8.9 billion, US$14 billion in 1995, and more than US$8 billion in the first half of 1996, accounting for more than 9% of GDP in the first half of the year, far exceeding the international warning line. The reason for the serious trade deficit is that the US dollar has appreciated, which has led to the appreciation of the Thai baht, resulting in a sharp drop in exports.
In the first half of 1996, Thailand's export growth rate fell from the previous 24% to a negative number. At the same time, in order to fulfill the obligations of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, Thailand has significantly reduced import tariffs, and a large number of foreign goods have flowed into Thailand.
At present, some sensitive foreign capital seems to have seen the risks and started to withdraw. Starting in May 1996, Thailand's stock index, which had been bullish, began to fall. House prices also began to fall. In order to retain foreign investment, Thailand has raised its interest rate to an astonishing 13.25%, the highest in Asia.
The article concludes that Thailand's domestic politics are changing frequently, with two prime ministers and four finance ministers replaced in succession from 1995 to 1996.
Thailand has established a coalition government, but this government cabinet seems to lack experience in international affairs management, and must immediately face a major policy decision: whether to abandon the stable exchange rate policy of the Thai baht against the US dollar since 1984...
After reading this article, Li Xiaofan keenly felt that the Asian financial crisis that started in Thailand was getting closer and closer, and the biggest opportunity window for him to get rich in this century was slowly opening!
He couldn't help but get excited secretly.
