That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1685 Can we make the best use of resources?
"Hey, Brother Shang, you're already here! Where are Teacher and his wife?"

"She's tidying up in the inner room! She'll be out in a bit."

"Oh, I ran into Zhang Chaoxian at the entrance just now. He wanted to come in with me. What's going on with him? Hasn't he gone back to Lighthouse yet?"

Li Ye knocked on Zhang Qiyan's door, and Shang Ruilin opened it for him. Diao Wenyao and Gu Yuedong also arrived.

So Li Ye told everyone about Zhang Chaoxian, and then everyone looked at Li Ye with very strange expressions.

After a long pause, Shang Ruilin said with amusement, "Don't you know what's going on with Zhang Chaoxian? He owes the country $20,000 for his studies abroad, which has delayed his departure."

Finally, I heard that he borrowed money from the Minnan gang at exorbitant interest rates to return to Lighthouse, but it was too late. He had already lost his job on Wall Street, and his mansion had been seized. So he came back to try and make a living.

"Oh~, I really didn't know that!"

Li Ye suddenly realized what was happening, looking completely innocent and as if to say, "This has nothing to do with me."

But everyone knows who they are!
When they were in school, they might not have known who Wen Leyu was, but more than ten years have passed. Shang Ruilin, Diao Wenyao and others are not innocent college students. How could they not ask their teacher Zhang Qiyan about it?

Zhang Qiyan knew who Li Ye's mother-in-law was.

Li Ye's expression made everyone's eyes even funnier and more amused.

Li Ye blinked and asked curiously, "Since Zhang Chaoxian wants to come back and serve his country, shouldn't you guys give him a chance? You happen to be short of someone like him, right?"

"We don't need any ungrateful bastards!"

Gu Yuedong retorted sarcastically, "I've known Zhang Chaoxian for so many years, and I really didn't know he could be so shameless."

One minute your company's BBS is hurling insults at us, and the next minute you're coming to our door to reminisce about our pure friendship from back in the day.

"What kind of place is this lighthouse? How can it transform a person so completely in just a few years?"

"Hehe, because the lighthouse is a magical place!"

The lighthouse of the 1990s was the only beacon in the world, so Li Ye didn't say much, even if he did, Gu Yuedong might not believe him.

However, the fact that Zhang Chaoxian was able to return to China so "decisively" proves that the terrifying phenomenon that would occur decades later had already begun to appear at this time.

Zhang Chaoxian would not explain the dark side of the lighthouse to Shang Ruilin and the others, otherwise their unwavering commitment would have become a laughing stock.

Zhang Chaoxian owes bankers a lifetime's worth of loans, and if he doesn't run fast enough, he might soon disappear into the vast sea of ​​people.

Or perhaps decades later, a Peking University version of "Sun Weidong" will appear on the streets of Lighthouse, with a group of well-meaning people calling out to his fellow students, Li Ye and Shang Ruilin, urging them to bring him back to enjoy his retirement.

Li Ye chatted with Shang Ruilin and the others for a while, then frowned as he looked at the closed bedroom door.

In the past, when he came to Zhang Qiyan's place, he would see the unkempt Zhang Qiyan or the gentle Teacher Lü as soon as he entered the door. But now he had been there for almost ten minutes and still hadn't seen anyone.

So Li Ye asked Shang Ruilin, "Brother Shang, what is the teacher tidying up in the room? It's so mysterious."

Shang Ruilin shook his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know either. The teacher told us to come together today. When I arrived, the teacher hadn't gotten up yet. She must be exhausted these past few days."

Li Ye nodded and didn't ask anything more.

Zhang Qiyan's workload has been very high over the years. Now that the Spring Festival holiday is just around the corner, there are some things that need to be finished in advance, so working overtime is inevitable.

Diao Wenyao glanced at Li Ye and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Li Ye, there's something I want to ask you. After your Jingnan Group took over Southwest Heavy Truck, do you plan to resume trading of the suspended shares?"

Li Ye was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Brother, why are you asking this? Don't tell me you also bought shares in Southwest Heavy Truck?"

Southwest Heavy Truck's stock price surged recently, attracting many retail investors to buy in. It has been suspended from trading for several months now, and everyone is hoping that Li Ye will apply for resumption of trading as soon as possible. However, there has been no movement from Li Ye, so everyone is getting anxious.
But Diao Wenyao waved his hands repeatedly: "I have no interest in stocks. Your sister-in-law is in charge of these matters. Someone asked her if you have submitted an application to resume trading. I feel that those people have a lot of Southwest Heavy Truck shares."

"A large number of stocks?"

Li Ye knew who those people were.

Although Dong Shan is in jail for fraudulent listing, the "market manipulators" behind him have not been exposed. Those people are holding a lot of Southwest Heavy Truck shares that they haven't cashed out yet, and they are probably more anxious than ordinary people right now.

"Brother Diao, we just took over Southwest Heavy Truck, and we haven't even sorted out the production situation yet! How can we have time to deal with stock issues? Besides, Southwest Heavy Truck is suspected of fraudulent listing, and we don't even know if the stock will be delisted."

Diao Wenyao nodded and said, "That's what my sister-in-law told me too. She said if you don't take remedial action in time, you might really be delisted."

Li Ye casually replied, "So what if we delist? We're not good at those fancy tricks anyway."

Is Li Ye bad at playing the stock market? He wasn't good at it as a retail investor, so is he bad at manipulating the market?

Even a fool could tell that those people were in a hurry and had pulled strings to get to Diao Wenyao.

But Li Ye had no intention of letting them recover their losses; he wanted them to experience what it was like to be manipulated by the bookmakers.

Whether or not Diao Wenyao reveals Li Ye's plans to those people doesn't change the fact that Li Ye is "market manipulator." Retail investors can never beat market manipulators; even the biggest retail investor is still just a retail investor. "Ahem~"

Suddenly, Zhang Qiyan coughed in the bedroom, then the bedroom door opened, and Zhang Qiyan walked out with a radiant face.

Li Ye was very surprised, because even if someone who had been working overtime and staying up late for several days caught up on sleep until they naturally woke up, their complexion shouldn't be this rosy!

Moreover, Zhang Qiyan's hair was meticulously combed, as if he were attending some important occasion.

Shang Ruilin quickly stood up and said, "Teacher, we woke you up."

"No, I got up early, I just tidied up some things with your teacher's wife."

Zhang Qiyan waved his hand and said, "I might be transferred to another city for work for a while soon, and a lot of things at home were just getting in the way, so I tidied up and plan to give them to you guys."

"How many will be given to us?"

Li Ye and the others found it strange and didn't understand why Zhang Qiyan would suddenly distribute things to everyone.

Even if I'm transferred to work in another city, what would be in my way?

Ms. Lü, who was standing nearby, explained, "These are all books, as well as some notes and insights that your teachers have summarized over the years. They might be helpful for your future work."
Your teacher had mentioned it many times before, but I never had time to organize it. Now that I've changed jobs, I finally have some free time, so I quickly got it done.

"Oh, thank you, teacher."

"So many years have passed, and we feel ashamed that our teachers still have to worry about us."

After Teacher Lü's explanation, everyone suddenly understood and expressed their gratitude.

But looking at Teacher Lü's extremely calm eyes, Li Ye felt that something was wrong.

But at this moment, Teacher Lü had already started dragging things out of the bedroom, and Li Ye didn't have time to think about anything else, so he quickly went over to help.

"This pack is Shang Ruilin's, this pack is Diao Wenyao's, and this pack is Li Ye's."

Teacher Lü had already divided the food into portions for everyone, and each portion was a large bag.

When it came to the last package, Teacher Lü said to Li Ye, "This package is for Minying, but she's away on a business trip overseas and hasn't returned yet. Li Ye, you can keep this for now and give it to her later."

Cai Minying is Li Ye's youngest senior. She has always been arrogant and aloof, but she is also exceptionally outstanding in her career. It is normal for her to receive the teacher's favor.

But Li Ye was still uneasy and couldn't help but say, "Yes, Master's wife, I will definitely pass it on to her. But where will Master be transferred to work?"

Zhang Qiyan narrowed his eyes and said with a grin, "I can't tell you that. Your teacher is now a key protected person of the country. My whereabouts are kept secret."

"Hahaha, teachers are the pillars of the nation and must be given special protection."

"The higher the level of secrecy, the more important it is to the country. Don't worry, teacher, we understand."

"Let's have Li Ye cook today to celebrate for our teacher."

Shang Ruilin, Diao Wenyao, and others laughed heartily, offering their early congratulations to Zhang Qiyan on his "promotion to higher positions."

However, Zhang Qiyan laughed and scolded, "I don't have time today, let's do it another day! Take your things and get out of here, I need to go back to sleep!"

"Okay, okay, teacher, please take a rest. We'll come see you again on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

Shang Ruilin and the others left with smiles, while Li Ye, with his keen observation skills, felt a mix of emotions and awkwardly pointed to the "New Year's goods" he had brought.

"Madam, this is ginseng that my friend brought back from the north, as well as some tonics from Southeast Asia. My teacher has been working too hard lately, please give him some tonics."

Teacher Lü looked calmly at Li Ye, then said with emotion, "Your teacher didn't spoil you for nothing."

"."

Zhang Qiyan really dotes on Li Ye.

When Li Ye returned home and opened his own package, he found that there were almost no books inside; instead, it was full of Zhang Qiyan's handwritten notes and reflections.

Li Ye didn't know how many similar notes were in the packages distributed to the other senior brothers, but considering that Zhang Qiyan had so many outstanding disciples, only a few of them ultimately received this gift, one could understand its preciousness.

These notes would be worthless if given to unrelated people, but giving them to Li Ye made him very conflicted.

Li Ye has been engaged in "pragmatic" work for many years and has not made any achievements in theoretical research. With these notes on economics, will he be able to make the most of them?
