Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1062 Leaving
Yang Jinrong, who was already the director of the security department of the police force, hurriedly pulled Jingyu when he saw his father-in-law coming out.

He reminded quietly, "Daddy is coming."

Jing Yu quickly stood up and looked at Chu Xiangqian with some guilt.

Chu Xiangqian glared at Jingyu unhappily, but nodded with satisfaction at Yang Jinrong, his son-in-law.

He smiled and asked, "Don't you have to keep an eye on the scene in the auditorium today?"

Yang Jinrong smiled and shook his head, "Dad, I have to go to Beijing for training next month. I won't have time to accompany Jingyu and Xixi for at least two or three months, so I plan to take a few days off."

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that the so-called rest for a few days was just because he didn't want to get involved in the trouble before and after the handover.

Moreover, the predecessor of the Security Department was the Evidence and Investigation Department of the Hong Kong Police Force.

It is nominally affiliated to the Hong Kong Island Police Corps and is commanded by the Deputy Commissioner of Police.

But in fact it is directly under the command of Yingguo Military Intelligence Unit 5 and is mainly responsible for intelligence work.

Jingyu, like her aunts Aiyuan and Aiqiu, is a fan of appearance.

When she attended the banquet in 87 to celebrate Linda's appointment as Deputy Commissioner of Police, as soon as she saw the handsome Yeung Kam-wing, the girl went to Linda to inquire about him.

Of course, it was not so easy for Chu Xiangqian to agree, so he asked the sparrow and the cat to keep an eye on Yang Jinrong 24 hours a day.

I discovered that this guy actually has connections with the Celestial Empire.

However, Yang Jinrong is very brave.

In addition to exchanging intelligence with the Chinese government, they also have connections with gangs and women.

It took Chu Xiangqian three full years to confirm that this guy was one of his.

By the way, it was also confirmed that this guy was not specially assigned by the superiors to contact Jingyu deliberately.

Only then did I feel truly relieved.

With Chu Xiangqian's secret help, this guy was promoted very quickly.

In 90, at the age of 27, he became a senior inspector.

After that, I basically got promoted every two or three years.

And even when he was in love with Jingyu, he did not show any inferiority complex.

When in front of Chu Xiangqian, he was very relaxed.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian did not suggest that Yang Jinrong resign and work in his company.

Yang Jinrong realized that Chu Xiangqian did not look down on the police, so he naturally felt at ease towards Chu Xiangqian.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian never relaxed his surveillance on this kid.

The sparrows and the cats were staring at him the whole time.

Fortunately, after ten years, this kid has performed very well.

But the more this happened, the more Chu Xiangqian knew that his son-in-law was no ordinary person.

But Chu Xiangqian himself had been engaged in intelligence work for decades and knew that once people had beliefs, they would no longer care about many irrelevant things.

Therefore, Yang Jinrong did not gamble, was not interested in women, and even rarely drank alcohol.

It's really good for Jingyu.

It’s a good thing to go to the capital for training this time.

Jingyu saw that his father wanted to say something, and was afraid that his father would do the same as before and lecture his son-in-law non-stop.

He quickly let go of Yang Jinrong's arm, took two steps forward, put his arm around Chu Xiangqian, and pulled him into the car.

Yang Jinrong chuckled and thought to himself that his daughter-in-law is the best, and his own daughter-in-law can indeed make his father-in-law helpless.

He got on the passenger seat and said to Xu Zhengyang who was driving, "Brother Zheng, take Situba Road."

Xu Zhengyang nodded. Although he needed to take a detour, he knew that given Yang Jinrong's position and his status as the son-in-law of the Chu family, there must be a reason for him to take a detour.

He spoke a few words to the other two security vehicles accompanying him through the headphones he carried with him.

The convoy drove out of the manor.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care even more.

Golden eagles and peregrine falcons were already in the sky giving warnings.

There were more than a dozen mountain sparrows native to Hong Kong Island ahead of the convoy, blazing the trail. It was simply a dream to ambush them.

As for Xu Zhengyang, Zhang Tianzhi felt that he was too old and his physical strength and energy were no longer suitable for being Chu Xiangqian's personal bodyguard, so he took the initiative to tell Chu Xiangqian that he wanted to stay in the security company and train the security team.

Chu Xiangqian then began to select the second generation of security personnel.

After much deliberation, it was finally the old man of the Xue family who introduced Xu Zhengyang to him.

When Chu Xiangqian saw Xu Zhengyang, who looked like Jet Li, he immediately thought that this guy was the bodyguard of Chungnam Hi.

After two years of observation, he officially replaced Zhang Tianzhi and became his personal bodyguard.

As for Zhou Billy, he retired like Zhang Tianzhi and went to work as a fighting coach in a security company.

Along the way, Jingyu muttered that he wanted to send Xixi to London when she was old enough to go to kindergarten.

Chu Xiangqian became furious after hearing this and was about to curse when he suddenly noticed Jingyu's eyes flickering.

It will become clear after a little thought.

There is no way my precious daughter is unaware of my character. She is saying this on purpose, she must be trying to provoke me.

The purpose was simply to keep Xixi with himself and Xue Jinglan and personally take care of and teach her.

She cursed angrily, "Alright, put away those little thoughts. Xixi is willing to follow me, and I wish she could stay by my side since she was a child."

Seeing that his father had seen through his purpose, Jing Yu chuckled, put his arm around Chu Xiangqian's arm, leaned his head on his shoulder and said.

"Dad, you and Mommy brought me up, and I know that if you are willing to teach Xixi, you will definitely teach her better than anyone else."

Yang Jinrong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodded slightly subconsciously.

My father-in-law is really amazing. Not to mention how much money he makes, his assets are spread across Europe, America, East Asia and Southeast Asia.

The assets under the name of his daughter-in-law alone now exceeded four or five billion US dollars.

Moreover, as soon as Xixi was born, she was given four luxury houses in New York, Los Angeles, London and Hong Kong Island.

By the way, every year on Xixi’s birthday, either shares in a luxury cruise ship or ten or eight stores in Hong Kong Island would be put in her name.

The little guy is only four and a half years old, but his net worth exceeds HK$400 million.

Even as a son-in-law, he can get a dividend of 1 million Hong Kong dollars from the family fund every month.

In order to save his own face, after marrying Jingyu in 91, he gave him advice six or seven times in just three years, and the money he earned from US stocks exceeded more than million US dollars.

The house that Jingyu and I live in now is a large flat in Deep Water Bay that I bought for six million US dollars.

The $300 million worth of Microsoft shares that I bought two years ago have increased five or six times in the past two years.

And Jingyu said that his father-in-law estimated that the US stock market will continue to rise sharply in the next two to three years.

So when it comes to making money, Yang Jinrong admires Chu Xiangqian very much.

In addition, my father-in-law is proficient in seven or eight languages, and his kung fu is such that he can knock me down with just one hand and a few moves.

Horse riding, archery, shooting, antiques, artworks, etc. are all first-class.

The only thing that made Yang Jinrong feel a little uncomfortable was that the older his father-in-law got, the more he seemed to like nagging.

Not only did he feel so, Jingyu and his elder and younger brothers-in-law also had many complaints.

It’s just that no one dared to say it in front of his father-in-law.

Fortunately, in addition to Jingyu, there is also the sister-in-law Jingxi, who can easily control the father-in-law.

Now that Xixi and Wanwan are four or five years old, the two little girls can really make their grandfather and grandfather-in-law helpless.

As he was thinking along the way, Yang Jinrong suddenly smiled, remembering what his uncle Bu Huaquan had said to him, and thought to himself that his father-in-law was indeed the same as what his uncle said, as long as he didn't argue with him, it would be easy to get along with him.

More than forty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the convention and exhibition center smoothly. When Chu Xiangqian got off the car, he saw Zheng Yutong and He Chaosheng had just arrived there.

After standing and waiting for a while, Zheng Yutong and He Chaosheng came over with bright smiles as soon as they saw him. They wanted to hug him, but Chu Xiangqian refused directly. The two were not angry. As old friends and partners for many years, they naturally knew his character.

After seeing Jing Yu and Yang Jinrong, He Chaosheng and Zheng Yutong felt regretful in their hearts at the same time.

The best daughter-in-law that he had been thinking about for more than ten or twenty years finally fell into the hands of Yang Jinrong, a young man born in an ordinary family.

And every time the two thought about this, they cursed their son in their hearts and could not understand why Chu Xiangqian was willing to marry his precious daughter to this boy.

Fortunately, no matter what he thought in his heart, he praised Yang Jinrong many times.

Then, one on the left and one on the right, they followed Chu Xiangqian into the convention and exhibition center.

Chu Xiangqian saw at a glance that Charles was surrounded by people, but he was unwilling to go closer.

After he and Diane divorced last year, Chu Xiangqian ignored him.

Margaret also had a lot of opinions about him. In Margaret's mind, it was normal for men to have fun outside.

After all, this is how the aristocratic circle of Yingguo is. A couple who are truly faithful and loyal to each other are more cherished than giant pandas.

But he failed to appease his wife and ended up getting divorced, which Margaret couldn't accept.

This matter is not just about Charles and Diane. Margaret feels that she was rebellious enough in the past, but the damage she caused to the royal family was far less than the impact of a divorce.

In Chu Xiangqian's words, this incident has shaken the foundation of the royal family.

It’s just that Chu Xiangqian was unwilling to pay attention to Charles, but this guy had to take the initiative to come to him.

In just one year, Charles realized that people's dissatisfaction with the royal family was growing.

If you don't make more efforts, your situation will become more and more difficult.

But Charles was unwilling to deal with ordinary people in a humble manner. The best way, naturally, was to contact big capital that could influence ordinary people.

Although Chu Xiangqian has invested a lot of money in Meiguo and Tianchao over the years, he has not forgotten to invest in Yingguo.

Moreover, as his assets in Yingguo increased, some restrictions were gradually relaxed.

Especially during Thatcher's last term, she had disputes with her allies within the party due to different decisions.

In this case, Chu Xiangqian could easily obtain permission from Thatcher to acquire Yingguo Media's business.

Chu Xiangqian originally wanted to acquire Yingguo Broadcasting Company, but soon found that the acquisition was too difficult.

Moreover, the obstacles were too great, so they could only turn their attention to Yingguo Independent Television Station.

In 88, he became a major shareholder of Independent Television, holding 14% of the shares.

Through gradual acquisitions over the years, the company now holds 37% of the shares.

In addition, the company acquired shares of seven newspapers, with the smallest stake being 10% and the largest exceeding 30%.

Charles wants to change his image in front of the public, and Chu Xiangqian is the best target.

Smiling and apologizing to the people around him, Charles walked straight towards Chu Xiangqian.

"Uncle, long time no see."

Chu Xiangqian was stunned when he called him uncle. The people around him looked at Charles in surprise, and then at Chu Xiangqian.

Then Charles smiled and waved to Jingyu, "Dear, congratulations on becoming the new director of Burberry."

Jing Yu didn’t ignore Chaer like Chu Xiangqian did, and nodded quickly, smiling and saying, “Thank you, I attended the board meeting for the first time last month.

Mr. Mountbatten Jr. also talked to me about you.

You've been buying up shares in Burberry in recent years, just like him, maybe we can form a small alliance?"

Charles just thought about it for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded.

The reason why he bought shares in Burberry was because he accidentally learned that Norton had been quietly acquiring shares of this luxury goods company over the years.

Think about your aunt, who was a director of luxury companies such as Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, and Dior many years ago.

I tried to buy some stocks, and I didn't expect that within a few years, Burberry's sales would grow year by year and its market value would continue to rise.

While Charles was feeling regretful, he realized that Norton must have received some advice from Chu Xiangqian.

That's why he bought shares of the company every year. Now Charles had no hesitation and followed Norton to buy Burberry shares in the market.

The last time Norton said those things to Jingyu, he was just mocking Charles, blaming him for competing with him for stocks in the market and raising his acquisition costs.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but roll his eyes as he saw Jingyu and Chaer chatting more and more happily.

He looked at Charles and said, "Okay, okay, go back and tell your aunt that I promised to help you."

Charles was overjoyed, and as he watched Chu go forward to greet several Chinese people, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, when he looked at Jingyu, Charles regretted for the first time. Why didn't he think of marrying this girl as a princess?

But this thought only lasted for a few seconds, because Charles knew that it was impossible for him to marry a woman who was not British and not an Anglican.

When Chu Xiangqian returned to his seat, he saw the two brothers, Aiguo and Aimin, smiling and talking about something.

Chu Xiangqian didn't listen deliberately. The three brothers greeted each other, and Aiguo smiled and said to Jingyu and Yang Jinrong, "Bring Xixi to my place for dinner more often when you have time."

Jing Yu and Yang Jinrong nodded hurriedly, even though their second and third uncles usually kept a low profile.

But Jingyu and Yang Jinrong knew that all the private Tan family restaurants in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong were jointly opened by them and Uncle He.

Moreover, my second and third uncles listened to my father and each opened a chain of hamburger and fried chicken restaurants.

For Chu Xiangqian, since he can't stop others from opening hamburger restaurants, it would be better for him to let patriotic and people-loving people start domestic fast food restaurants as soon as possible.

Although the brand added value is far less than that of KFC and McDonald's, the profit is actually not small.

Moreover, the more semi-finished products an independent logistics base supplies, the lower the cost.

The four foreign fast food restaurants opened in major cities across the country all belong to the Chu family. While they are expanding their own markets, they can also unite to suppress other competitors.

In recent years, the wealth of those who love their country and the people has also begun to skyrocket.

Seven or eight years ago, he was already a well-known wealthy man in the country.

Ai Qiu has been helping Chu Xiangqian manage the domestic real estate company, and also renting and managing a large number of office buildings under his name.

After chatting with those who love the country and the people for a while, the venue soon became quiet.

Chu Xiangqian was very excited after witnessing with his own eyes the return of Hong Kong to the embrace of the Celestial Empire.

The faces of the people of Charles and Yingguo were not very good. However, no matter how unwilling they were to face the reality, they could not change the fact that Yingguo had become so weak that it had become a second-rate or even third-rate country.

This is also the main reason why Margaret was reluctant to fly over.

The next day, Chu Xiangqian flew to the capital and donated a delivery agreement containing thousands of tons of gold to his superiors.

After that, he basically stopped caring about business matters and focused on staying in Beijing or Hong Kong with his wives to take care of his grandchildren.

By the way, take care of the master, his mistress, Yixiantian, Lao Jiang and Jin who are indeed old.

Even before the stock market crash in 00, he did not sell most of his shares in advance.

Chu Xiangqian knew very well that with the huge wealth at his disposal, if he cashed out when the stock market crashed, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism.

It would be better to let those shares depreciate.

As long as you don’t sell it, the price will slowly go back up.

It may even rise higher.

But if I sell it, maybe I will be the one who caused the stock market crash myself, and become the target of everyone's hatred.

So at his level, learning to lose money is actually the best way to protect himself.

In 2005, his master, his mistress, and Jin Yitang passed away one after another, and Chu Xiangqian became even less willing to pay attention to business matters.

On the contrary, although Yixiantian and Lao Jiang are older than their master and his wife, they are still very strong.

In 2040, on Chu Xiangqian’s th birthday, a family of over a hundred people gathered in the Qianmen Siheyuan in Beijing.

Celebrating his 100th birthday.

Just the day after his birthday party, Chu Xiangqian left a letter to his children and went to Middle-earth without much regret or nostalgia.
