He Fang and Li Yan took Peng Yue for a walk nearby. Li He called out to Li Kuo, "Stand here. I have something to say to you."
"Oh." Li Kuo sat down obediently.
"Do you have any thoughts about marriage?" Li He asked.
Li Kuo said confusedly, "Marriage is marriage. Two people living together. What thoughts can I have? Just live well. Don't worry, we will be fine. This time, I have thought about it seriously. "
"Live well?" Li He sneered, "How can you live well? To put it bluntly, if I gave you a car, your salary would not even be enough to pay for the fuel, not to mention the maintenance."
He was not polite at all. Li Kuo's face changed immediately. He stammered, "There's still a long way to go. Take it slow."
"Brother, your life in the future is going to be about rice, oil, salt, vinegar, and tea. None of it will be short of money." Li He did not want to discourage him. He just said, "I heard from them that you are working hard in the supermarket. You are not late or leave early, and you did not ask for leave. Not bad. You have grown up."
Li Kuo said, "You said that work should be like work. How would I dare to embarrass you?"
"Now, I'll give you two choices. It's up to you." Li He took a sip of tea and smiled. "First, I'll lend you some money. You and your wife can choose a location and open a small supermarket. Since you have supermarket work experience and are familiar with this industry, you might as well continue to work in this industry.
Second, you can continue to work in the supermarket. However, I will give you a chance. In a few years, you will be able to become a middle-level or high-level official. You should be able to hold your own, and your salary will not be too low. "
Seeing that Li Kuo did not respond, he continued, "Why? Do you want to reconsider? Let me know when you are done, or you two can go and discuss it. "
"No need, brother. I have thought about it." Li Kuo made up his mind. "I want to do it alone."
"You're so bold?"
"I have you to back me up. What am I afraid of?" Li Kuo was not stupid. His brother was the richest man in the world. What was he afraid of? If he lost money, he could start all over again!
"Sure." Li He gave him a thumbs up. "I'm lending you five million. You can't be careless. You have to do it seriously. You have to pay me back, understand?"
"Understood. Actually, I've had the idea of opening my own supermarket for a long time. I don't want to open a big supermarket. I'll just pick a good location near a subway station or a residential area. A hundred square meters will do." Li He composed himself and said, "So, I don't need 5 million at all. Brother, just lend me 1 million."
"It's up to you. It's settled then." Li He agreed.
That night, Li Kuo excitedly told Peng Yue everything. Peng Yue was naturally overjoyed.
Twenty days before Hong Kong's return, the square was crowded with people in front of the countdown board. "Welcome the return of Hong Kong, create a better future together."
Even the bamboo sticks in the restaurant's fruit platters were tied with exquisite little flags with the words "Welcome the return of Hong Kong" printed on them. They were brimming with the joy of washing away the shame of the nation and the country in the 19th century and welcoming the future with confidence.
The People's Daily published the list of the Chinese government's delegation to Hong Kong for the handover ceremony.
In order to welcome the arrival of Hong Kong's return on July 1st, all the companies under the Zhongzai Group, like many social organizations, held reports, symposiums, quiz contests, patriotic speeches, art performances, poetry, calligraphy and photography exhibitions, and many other forms of celebration activities. They were all hosted by Li He himself. Just the first place of the quiz contest had a prize of 100,000 yuan.
Li He received the invitation to attend the handover ceremony. The invitation was jointly issued by the Chinese and British governments. The design was equivalent: one side was in Chinese with the national emblem of China on the left and the national emblem of Great Britain on the right; the other side was in English with the national emblem of Great Britain on the left and the national emblem of China on the right.
On June 30th, he accompanied the China mainland delegation to Hong Kong via Shenzhen. He used a one-time diplomatic passport issued by the Hong Kong and British authorities to attend the handover ceremony.
In a few hours, the Hong Kong and British authorities would no longer have this authority.
At midnight, he and other guests from all over the world came to attend the handover ceremony. He waited for the solemn moment at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center Building.
At 23: 59: 53, the British flag landed, and a period of history blackened by opium and gunfire ended.
At the last second of June 30th, 1997, the national anthem of China was played.
"I represent the Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed in Hong Kong to take over the barracks. You can be laid off, and we will take over. I wish you a safe journey. "
The army, navy and air force stationed in Hong Kong officially took over the defense.
Li He rubbed his eyes, once again witnessing history.
When he came out of the scene, the rain became lighter, but it still did not stop. Hong Kong had returned home, and the great man had left.
"Mr. Li?" Chen Lihua stood next to him and wanted to hold the umbrella for Li He.
"No need." Li He had never felt so carefree before. He stood in the rain and let the rain fall on his body. "Have the fireworks from Liuyang arrived?"
Chen Lihua said, "They have arrived."
"Let them off at Victoria Harbor for three days and three nights." This time, Li He spent more than 10 million yuan on the fireworks alone.
"Yes." Chen Lihua had no objections.
Back at the hotel, before Dong Xuebing could take a shower, Guo Dongyun entered the room.
She opened the fridge and took out two cans of beer. She threw one to Li He and smiled. "Are you happy today?"
Li He replied. "Of course. What's the matter?"
"Thai Baht is about to collapse." Guo Dongyun suddenly said. "In May, the Thai Government had used 30 billion USD of foreign reserves and 15 billion USD of international loans to try to save the country. But this amount is nothing compared to the huge amount of hot money.
Soros had ordered his fund to sell the US Treasury bonds to raise funds and increase the scale of their funds to attack Thai Baht.
Can we make our move now? "
"Let me think about it." Li He was hesitating. He knew Soros will come to Hong Kong, and if Soros was defeated in Thailand, will he still have the guts to come to Hong Kong?
If Soros does not come to Hong Kong, how can he play his role in Hong Kong's financial system?
Guo Dongyun said anxiously. "If Thai Baht depreciates, other currencies will also crash. This will affect Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Malaysia, and other countries."
"Are your father and the rest ready?" Li He took a sip of beer.
Guo Dongyun replied. "They can use the promised funds anytime they want."
Li He kept quiet for a while and smiled. "Then let's wait and see what happens to HKD."
"When?" Guo Dongyun was anxious, but because of her trust in Li He, she felt conflicted.
"One week!" Li He replied confidently. "Once someone starts to empty HKD, inform me."
