That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 606: Is this talking about me?
Li Ye originally thought that only a small group of people knew about the drastic changes in the Japanese yen exchange rate, but when he met with his fellow villagers on Sunday, he unexpectedly found out that he was wrong.

Because Li Juan arrived in the capital, the "small group of eight" gathered together at the Zaojun Temple for a rare occasion.

This is the first time we have gathered together since the Spring Festival this year.

Two big pots were set up, and the familiar stewed potatoes with pork ribs and pickled fish whetted everyone's appetite.

Yan Jinbu ate two large bowls in one breath, then burped and said, "Xiaoyan's cooking is still the best! There's a restaurant opened in front of our school recently, and their pickled fish is far inferior to this. Xiaoyan's is still the best."

"Can the food in the restaurant taste the same as what Xiaoyan makes?"

Han Xia curled her lips and said, "This is not a bowl of pickled fish. This is our past memory, okay? Just like the boiled beans that Lu Xun ate in the textbook."

Han Xia's words made everyone feel as if they were back in the days at the No. 2 Grain Store, and they remembered the one-cent food allowance.

After everyone graduates, even the gatherings at Zaojun Temple will become a thing of the past. I guess it will be like what Lu Xun said: "I will never be able to taste that flavor again."

Fu Yingjie sighed and said, "That's right! It's been almost four years since the winter of 1981. I'll probably remember this taste for the rest of my life."

"Hahaha, you'll remember it for the rest of your life. You don't want to marry Xiaoyan'er home, do you?"

"Go away, stop making trouble, you are just talking nonsense"

"Okay, okay, Yingjie has a date at school, so don't mention their relationship randomly!"

"Really? Then why don't you bring him here for us to see? Are you still shy, Fu Yingjie?"

"."

Everyone was laughing and making a lot of noise, but Li Ye found that Jiang Xiaoyan was not laughing, but was distracted.

Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xiaoyan seemed to be worried when she was cooking just now.

So Li Ye whispered a few words to Wen Leyu and asked her to pull Jiang Xiaoyan aside to talk.

A moment later, Wen Leyu called Li Ye over with a strange look on his face.

"We all guessed wrong. Xiaoyan's family encountered some problems."

"Family?"

Li Ye was stunned, and then he was puzzled. With Wen Leyu's intelligence, he would not interfere in other people's family affairs, so why did he call him over?
Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye and said, "In the summer, Xiaoyan's parents met a group of people who said they could help people invest with a high rate of return."

"At first, Xiaoyan's parents didn't believe it because of her disapproval. But later, some people they knew started making money, so they invested money."

"."

"Invest? What kind of investment? It's a scam, right?"

Li Ye subconsciously thought it was a scam, because there were no investment channels in the mainland in 1985, and there was not even the concept of "investment".

"Those people said it was an investment company in Hong Kong. A few days ago they said it was speculating in Hong Kong stocks, and now they say it is speculating in Japanese yen.

Xiaoyan went straight to their door and asked them what kind of company they were. They were very mysterious and just said that they were related to some big shots in Hong Kong Island."

"Because Xiaoyan made a scene in the past, they returned all the principal and interest of Xiaoyan's family, and also returned the money of several merchants related to Xiaoyan's family, so Xiaoyan has been complained about a lot these days."

Wen Leyu said as he glanced at Li Ye.

Only then did Li Ye understand what was going on.

"Speculating in Hong Kong stocks? Speculating in Japanese yen? Having connections with the bigwigs in Hong Kong Island? Isn't this me that is being talked about?"

joke!

After the gathering at Zaojun Temple ended, Li Ye and Wen Leyu followed Jiang Xiaoyan to Chen's Noodle House outside Xizhimen.

Although the Chen family noodle shop has expanded to four branches, Chen Jinhua has always been in charge of the earliest noodle shop and has divided the others into different branches.
This noodle restaurant outside Xizhimen doesn't have a big facade and its business isn't the best, but Chen Jinhua says this is a treasure land for making a fortune and she'll stay here for the rest of her life.

Li Ye parked the Santana in front of the noodle shop. Jiang Xiaoyan had just gotten out of the car and hadn't taken the bicycle out of the trunk when his mother Chen Jinhua came trotting over.

Chen Jinhua first greeted Li Ye with a smile, then turned to Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "You should go back to school first! Your uncle Hu and the others are here again, making a lot of noise. Don't pay attention to them."

"I just want to pay attention to them. I talk to them nicely but they won't listen. They keep coming to my house all day long."

"Those people didn't take their money, so what's it got to do with me? And they want me to apologize to them? I'm lucky I didn't go to the police station and sue them."

Jiang Xiaoyan took the bicycle down with a cold face, then walked back into the noodle shop with a cold and unfriendly look on her face.

Ever since she went to question that investment company, they have refunded all the money to everyone who had any connection with Chen Jinhua.

Those who had their money returned thought that Jiang Xiaoyan had blocked their path to wealth, and forced Jiang Xiaoyan to apologize to the people at the investment company in order to allow them to continue riding on her and making money.

But Jiang Xiaoyan was not willing to do that, so she was making a lot of noise and was annoying these days.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Chen Jinhua watched her daughter, who had grown too powerful, walk into the noodle shop angrily and could only stamp her feet in anger.

The current Jiang Xiaoyan is no longer the Jiang Xiaoyan who once cried over the five yuan tuition fee for repeating her studies. She cannot be beaten or scolded and has a very tough temper!
Li Ye smiled and advised, "Aunt, I wanted to come here today. I heard Xiaoyan talk about that investment business, so I wanted to come and learn a little. Don't blame Xiaoyan." Chen Jinhua sighed and said, "This is all my fault. If I hadn't been greedy for that little bit of foreign money and invested in that Hong Kong company, this wouldn't have happened."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Jiang Xiaoyan told me that this matter is not entirely your fault."

Chen Jinhua was not well educated, but she was very smart, so at the beginning she didn't believe in anything that came easy.

But her husband Jiang Yougui was an honest man who could not resist the instigation of those around him and invested the small treasury he had saved from his frugal life.

Then Jiang Yougui started making money, earning five hundred in two months.

You have to know that Chen Jinhua, who is in charge of the family's finances, only gives her husband 60 yuan a month! She saves 500 or 600 yuan a year by living frugally, and it's only been two months.
Moreover, the man told Jiang Yougui a math problem about a donkey rolling over, which immediately gave Jiang Yougui hope of turning the tables and becoming the master of his own destiny.

Jiang Yougui, who had been frustrated for three years, forcibly took 10,000 yuan from Chen Jinhua, and in a blink of an eye he made another 2,000 yuan.
Even Chen Jinhua was tempted and almost invested all her belongings in it.

That’s nearly 100,000 yuan!

This is just like those gamblers. They all know that "windfall" carries risks, but when the money is placed in front of you, can you not be tempted?

However, Chen Jinhua was not an ordinary woman after all. Before touching the money, she asked Jiang Xiaoyan from the school.

Then, Jiang Xiaoyan cut off Jiang Yougui's dream of getting rich, and also implicated the people around him.

. . . . . . .

As soon as Jiang Xiaoyan entered the noodle shop, she was surrounded by people.

"Xiao Yan'er! You're finally back. It's been three days in a row. Go and apologize to them!"

"Why should I apologize?" Jiang Xiaoyan shouted flatly: "I'm warning you! Don't come to my house to make trouble again, or I will report you to the police station."

A middle-aged man said angrily: "What are you talking about? They are a legitimate business. It's useless for you to report it to the Heavenly Court. Your family has also made money. Is that money also fake?"

Jiang Xiaoyan said sharply: "Uncle Hu, you are really blinded by a few small amounts of money. There is no such good thing in the world. If you say so, the bank will be squeezed out of business by them."

"You're a college student!"

Lao Hu put a newspaper in front of Jiang Xiaoyan and said, "Look, this is a newspaper from Hong Kong Island. The Japanese yen exchange rate has risen by 1.5%. How much money have you made us lose?"

"That's right! The newspapers in Hong Kong can't be fake, right? If you don't go again, you have to compensate us."

"."

Several people surrounded Jiang Xiaoyan, and their saliva almost sprayed on her face.

"What are you doing? Just try to touch my daughter!"

Chen Jinhua happened to enter the noodle shop and immediately pushed everyone away like an angry tiger and pulled her daughter out.

Li Ye, who was behind him, reached out and took the newspaper.

"Haha~, it really is a newspaper from Hong Kong Island! Interesting and powerful."

Li Ye looked at the newspaper written in traditional Chinese characters, and then looked at the date, which was two days ago.

Express delivery nowadays is not that convenient, and this financial newspaper is not a big newspaper. But it can be sent from Hong Kong Island to Beijing within two days. The other party really has some skills!
"Who are you? What are you doing with my newspaper?"

"Mister Chen, why did you call outsiders here? Haven't you harmed us enough?"

Old Hu was stunned for a moment, then immediately questioned Li Ye and Chen Jinhua with a dark face.

Without waiting for Chen Jinhua to respond, Li Ye asked, "You think I'm an outsider, so how can you and Aunt Chen be considered as insiders? Are you relatives? Are you from the same hometown?"

"."

After Li Ye heard Jiang Xiaoyan say that "people around" Jiang Yougui participated in the investment, Li Ye was very angry. He thought that Jiang Hong, Ma Qianshan and others were involved!
Only fools will be cheated. I am a student of economics, but I have a bunch of fools under me. Isn't that a joke?

Later I found out that people like Lao Hu were just small vendors like Chen Jinhua who came to Beijing from other places to make a living. They were usually managed by the same department and got to know each other while studying documents.

They are not even from the same hometown, but they are still clamoring for Chen Jinhua to pay compensation? Do you think the "Qingshui Gang" is easy to mess with?

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Ye asked again: "Since you think this is not a scam, then go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and ask! If their company is legal, then we will apologize. If it is illegal, you should thank Jiang Xiaoyan!"

Li Ye followed Jiang Xiaoyan here, also wanting to see if he could get some "performance" for his fellow seniors. After all, one works in a bank, one in the tax department, and one in a government agency, and doing this kind of illegal fundraising can also help gain experience.

"It's useless to ask the Industry and Commerce Bureau. They have a backer."

"Backstage?"

Li Ye smiled and said, "Whose backstage? Tell me."

Old Hu looked at Li Ye and said with a straight face, "Dongcheng Duoye, have you heard of it?"

Wow, I may not have heard of others, but I have heard of Duoye.
