The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

In 1979, just after the Lantern Festival, after five days of trekking and waiting, Li Yuan came to Xiangjiang again.

Zheng's Law Firm is one of its industries.

This morning, Zheng Yuanhang had been standing at the door, greeting employees passing by in surprise.

Ten minutes later, he walked quickly and met a young man who had just got out of the taxi.

"Mr. Li, after receiving your telegram, I have been looking forward to your arrival."

After shaking hands and greetings, the two walked towards the office.

Entering an office of less than 20 square meters, Li Yuan put a small box in his hand on the desk.

"Take a look, and if you're not satisfied, I'll carve it again for you."

"Definitely satisfied." Zheng Yuanhang resisted his impulse and took out a document bag from the drawer.

"As per your request, everything is done.

I am a mainlander who crossed the river in 1966 and has been working hard in Kowloon Street.

You can rest assured that everything is done flawlessly and is well documented.”

"Thank you." Li Yuan took out the document and looked at it, a palm-sized paper ID card.

Name: Li Bohan, age: 28 years old. . .

After exchanging a few words, Li Yuan said goodbye and left amidst Zheng Yuanhang's regretful voice.

I took a taxi to HSBC Bank and walked into the lobby with a suitcase in my hand.

When he came to Xiangjiang, Li Yuan first had a beauty treatment, giving him a neat trim and a beautiful mustache.

Wearing the white robe that he bought when he came here last time, coupled with his unworldly temperament, he turned heads.

As soon as he entered the hall, a man in a suit greeted him.

"Sir, what business are you dealing with?"

"Do you have any business in purchasing gold?"

"Yes sir," he glanced at the suitcase in Li Yuan's hand.

"Sir, please come with me."

The two entered a negotiation room, and the other party politely brewed a cup of coffee.

"I wonder how much sir you want to take?"

Li Yuan opened the suitcase without saying anything.

He didn't expect there to be so many, and his eyes widened immediately, but he soon regained his composure.

The main reason was that there were too many, and he rarely saw retail investors trading, so he was so surprised.

He put on his gloves, picked up one, looked around before putting it down, and then took out a small scale from the drawer behind him.

After repeatedly confirming the three small yellow croakers, he looked at Li Yuan sincerely and said, "Sir, judging from the appearance and markings, they should be regular gold bars from the Ming Dynasty.

The weight is more than 31.25 grams, which is a small yellow croaker of pure gold.

The current market price is $268 per ounce, and we can only give you $244.

Do you think it's appropriate? ".

Li Yuan and Zheng Yuanhang have discussed these, and the price is quite reasonable.

"Okay, help me open an account."

"No problem, I'll handle it for you right away."

The man in a suit ran out of the negotiation room in surprise, and soon a capable little girl followed him in.

The little girl held a small scale in her hand.

Then the two began to weigh in front of Li Yuan and recorded them one by one.

10 minutes later, "Mr. Li, a total of 1406.25 grams, 49.0 ounces."

According to the price of 244 US dollars, that is .178 US dollars.

If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it will be .126 Hong Kong dollars, please check."

After speaking, Li Yuan handed over a piece of paper, calculated silently, and quickly nodded.

"no problem".

Half an hour later, Li Yuan walked out of the bank.

The 45 small yellow croakers in the suitcase turned into deposit certificates and a checkbook.

When he went out, the bank receptionist had already called a taxi for Li Yuan.

In fact, in just ten minutes, Li Yuan arrived at the "Far East Stock Exchange".

On December 1969, 12, the Far East Stock Exchange officially opened under the initiative of founder Li Fuzhao.

The establishment of the "Far East Club" not only broke the "Hong Kong Club"'s monopoly on the Hong Kong stock market, but also caused others to follow suit.

Everyone has established stock exchanges one after another, which has led to an era of "a hundred schools of thought contending and a hundred flowers blooming" in the Hong Kong stock market.

After Li Yuan set foot in Xiangjiang, he began to read relevant books and obtained a lot of news about the securities market.

As my skills deepened, and stimulated by the information, I also remembered some movies I had watched in later generations.

For example, the Hong Kong drama "Big Era" starring Cheng Shaoqiu and Liu Qingyun.

The play is set in the Hong Kong financial market from the 20s to the 60s. Through the love and hatred of two families and two generations, it shows the entanglement of fame, wealth and human nature.

There is also the controversial "Goldfinger", which all tells the current situation of the Hong Kong stock market.

"Goldfinger" is based on the legendary life of Cheng Yiyan, chairman of the Hong Kong listed company Jiawen Group, and tells the story of a man's ups and downs from a stock investor idol to a street rat.

It reflects the changes in the Hong Kong stock market in the 20s and s.

Of course, there are many movies about the Hong Kong stock market, but these two movies left a deep impression on Li Yuan.

After consultation, it was found that there is only "Wharf Holdings" now, and there is no "Jianing Real Estate".

Li Yuan purchased "Wharf shares" directly through Jack Wang, the stockbroker who received him.

The current share price of Wharf Shares is only HK$13.4, buy the shares.

According to memory, in June 1980, the largest takeover war in Hong Kong's history broke out.

The largest British-funded consortium at the time: Jardine Matheson Land Company, started a battle for the shares of Wharf with "World Shipping King" Pao Yugang.

In the end, Bao Yugang ended up victorious by purchasing additional shares for HK$105 per share.

With almost ten times the income, Li Yuan only needs to wait for more than a year, and he will earn nearly 800 million Hong Kong dollars.

When the time comes, the time is right to directly invest in Li Yuan's project.

He is not afraid of domestic investigations. After the reform, in order to attract foreign investment, the conditions are very relaxed.

After doing everything well, Li Yuan stayed in Xiangjiang for a few more days, showed up at the Xiangjiang office and bought some books.

Thinking of the children at home, he picked out some clothes, electrical appliances, and food, and sent them all into the space, ready to go home and give them to them.

After half a month since leaving Kyoto, Li Yuan finally returned to the compound.

Under Yan Fugui's promotion, everyone in the hospital knew that Li Yuan was going abroad for inspection as a technical consultant.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I was surrounded by everyone.

They all asked about the situation abroad.

Li Yuan did not hide it, anyway, everyone will know it in a few years.

Ten minutes later, the children ran away happily holding colorful candies.

The adults also left the front yard with candies in their hands and longing expressions on their faces.

Surrounded by his children, Li Yuan finally entered the house.

Yang Ting was busy pouring face wash for Li Yuan, "Didn't you say it would take a month?"

"Things went relatively smoothly, so I came back early," Li Yuan replied while cleaning.

"Hey, don't rummage around, be careful of damaging the things inside." Yang Ting kept exclaiming when she saw the children rummaging through the two big bags.

She was so itchy that she ran around cursing and immediately joined the group looking for gifts.

Before Li Yuan finished cleaning, there were all kinds of gifts on the floor and table.

"What a beautiful dress."

"Ah! This is a big color TV!"

"A lot of food, what is this?"

. . . . . .

Li Yuan sat on the stool and watched them sorting out the gifts with a smile in his eyes.
