Restarting life in Siheyuan

The director, who had his head down just now, unexpectedly raised his head and straightened his chest when the acting president accused him. The acting president mentioned the funding issue, so he had to speak up, otherwise, there would definitely be big problems with the next year's budget.

"Mr. President, my people are only intelligence investigators. We are powerless to deal with this kind of supernatural phenomenon. Mr. President, I think what you need now is physicists and geologists. You may also need the help of astronomy and aviation experts."

The acting president looked at the director, who was speechless for a moment. After a while, he changed his expression to a amiable one, stepped forward and shook the director's hand. "Old man, I apologize for my impulsiveness just now. You are right. The great United States needs them now."

For a time, the Bald Eagle's top management's attention to the "Bermuda Triangle" was once again escalated. After all, this was the first time that an aircraft carrier disappeared in these waters, and right in their own backyard. This was too weird. If the cause was not found, the Bald Eagle would be restless.

In the past, even if the navy occasionally went missing, they were always old small and medium-sized ships or small planes, and most people believed that they were due to accidents. But this time it was different. The missing ship was the "Eagle" which had just been put into service.

When the Bald Eagle was preparing to secretly invest countless resources and began to vigorously study geomagnetic anomalies (caused by magnetic fields), ocean floor cavities, and even clear sky turbulence, black holes, etc., trying to use some strange natural phenomena to explain the supernatural reasons of the Bermuda Triangle, and even wondered whether it was alien UFOs that were causing trouble.

After cheating the Americans, Zhu Xuefeng put away his dolphin after repeated consideration and secretly returned to Hong Kong on the newly opened North American route of China Eastern Airlines.

This time, not only did they recover their treasure, but they also packed up the Eagle aircraft carrier battle group. This aircraft carrier has been in service for less than three years, with a standard displacement of more than 6 tons and a full load displacement of more than 8 tons. The ship is more than 300 meters long, the flight deck is nearly 320 meters, the width is nearly 80 meters, and the height is about meters. It is really a behemoth. Among the six submarines packed together, there are actually two nuclear-powered ones. Zhu Xuefeng likes this big guy very much. This is the kind that carries intercontinental missiles. The harvest is too big.

Looking at the dozens of various submarine-borne aircraft, various anti-aircraft missiles, etc. on the mother ship, as well as a pile of "junk copper and iron", Zhu Xuefeng laughed. Business cannot be done that fast. Haha, it's a pity that they cannot be taken out openly. What a pity. The secret cave on the seashore is still too small. It can only accommodate the aircraft carrier. The other "junk copper and iron" can only stay in space.

"Husband, how long can you stay this time? My uncle came here twice a few days ago."

"I can't stay for a few days. I have to go to the autonomous region and secretly go back to see my sister. Is there anything I can't help but ask?" Zhu Xuefeng still respects this uncle whom he has only met once. It can be seen that his uncle is a sentimental person.

Wu Qianqian was a little disappointed about the man's arrangement, as he could only stay for a few days. But when she thought about it, it was not bad. Her two sisters had no chance to visit her. After she figured it out, she cheered up and answered.

"He said he represented his mother's family and gave me a pair of top-quality jade bracelets. They cost a lot. Later I found out that it was a businessman from their place who bought them from Daya. Oh, I can't say what caused this incident. But when he heard me say that I have two older sisters, he was stunned for a while. A few days later, he sent me two pairs of the same bracelets, which were also bought from our family."

After Wu Qianqian finished speaking, she covered her mouth and laughed. She really couldn't talk to her uncle about this confusing matter. As she spoke, she took out three beautiful brocade boxes from the cabinet.

"They are all here. I didn't even bother to bring them."

Zhu Xuefeng picked it up, opened it and took a look. They were indeed top quality. They should be the only few good ones outside. Now they were all sent back by his uncle because of this incident.

Although the price of jadeite is not as outrageous as it would be decades later, these three pairs of bracelets are now worth thousands of dollars after being hyped up. This is really a joke and a pitfall for my uncle.

"Since it's a gift to you, just take it. It can also be considered as a publicity for our family. I will pick out some better jade pieces from home and give them to my cousins ​​and my aunt as a favor."

Wu Qianqian smiled and replied, "I was afraid it was inappropriate, so I didn't dare to return the gift with jade. I asked Erya and Sanya to prepare a few sets of beautiful traditional costumes for their families."

"Your idea is better. Let's do it your way. My uncle seems to be in the root carving and Chinese medicine business. You can take the lead. There are a lot of these two things in the autonomous region. Just give him some care. As for other business matters, you can help as much as you can. My uncle and his business don't seem to be very big."

From the last detailed conversation, we were able to estimate that the size of Li Jinglian's family business was at most one or two million US dollars. Since he was willing to support Zhu Xuefeng at that time, Zhu Xuefeng naturally didn't mind giving him a hand, as he was his own uncle.

"He came here just to give you a gift?"

"It shouldn't be. I don't know what he is discussing with the Huo family. By the way, the Huo family said they didn't have any suitable treasures and wanted to give us a piece of industrial land to build a factory. I didn't dare to accept it and only accepted two sets of gold jewelry."

"Well, we can't take the land. Our own land has been enough for recent years. They should communicate more privately. If there is anything, we will help if we can."

Although she didn't know why the man looked at the Huo family differently, Wu Qianqian still nodded and took note of it.

Zhu Xuefeng put down his teacup, took out a list and handed it to Wu Qianqian.

"Please arrange for someone to find an opportunity to contact these people and invite them over with a high salary. Our research lab just happens to need them."

What Zhu Xuefeng handed over to Wu Qianqian were some experts from East Germany, from all walks of life. They were all friends of Professor Arnold. They were all in similar situations. With Arnold's introduction, Zhu Xuefeng had exchanges with several of them.

These people are very dissatisfied with their current situation. The first person they hate is the Americans. One second they were doing business with them and making money from them, and the next second they directly joined the war, leading to the disaster for their country.

The second person they hated was Xiao Yi. These damn Youtai people were despicable vampires. They were the source of the disaster. The third was Daye, the conqueror who directly destroyed their nation. He actually occupied the central square with the portrait of S Dalin.

This gave Zhu Xuefeng an opportunity. These people all wanted to leave. Zhu Xuefeng believed that the free Hong Kong would make them forget their pain, or that the respect from the autonomous region would allow them to regain their lost dignity.

There are many projects that need to be researched now, so there is no need to worry that these people will have nothing to do. Zhu Xuefeng already has a long research list, and he must have a strong team to share the work. These people are on the list he has carefully screened.

"By the way, did you send Zheng Xiaojun off smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. According to the master's instructions, your junior brother took Zheng Dayong's handwritten letter to Hong Kong, and then Chen Dong found someone to send him there. Zheng Dayong has already received news and has been sent there."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded, fulfilling his promise to Zheng Dayong. As for what Zheng Xiaojun would become in the future, he didn't care. With his brother watching over him, nothing should happen to him.

"By the way, are Gao Bo and the others all okay?"

"Your junior is doing pretty well. Now his martial arts team has two beautiful girls. The team is complete and has become famous in Hong Kong. The market is expected to rise. I heard that the performance schedule is very full now. If you want to make an appointment with them, you have to do it in advance."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuefeng sighed inwardly. So be it. He had known Gao Bo for a long time, but unfortunately this guy was not ambitious enough. After working hard for a year, he was finally sent to the autonomous region to accompany Yan Zi in training those kids. He wanted to find a suitable position for him in his career. Unfortunately, ever since Yang Ying's incident, he also came to Hong Kong. This guy seemed to have forgotten something and was really going further and further down the path of a dragon and tiger martial artist.

Xie Minghui and Lin Yilan who stayed in Beijing have repeatedly expressed their willingness to work with him, but they still need to be tempered before they can be of great use. Seeing that the master seemed a little depressed, Wu Qianqian hurriedly said.

"Master, I have something to ask for your opinion?"

Zhu Xuefeng raised his head nonchalantly, "What's the matter? Can't you make the decision?"

"It's more appropriate for the master to decide this matter. You were the one who arranged for the person to come in and asked him to train more."

"Oh, you mean Miss Li, what's wrong with her?" Zhu Xuefeng then remembered that it was indeed him who asked Wu Qianqian to pay more attention to her and focus on her training. However, he had not paid much attention to her in the past two years as there were many things going on.

Seeing that the master seemed to suddenly realize something, Wu Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Li is about to graduate. She has been working in our real estate company for more than two years and has grown very quickly. I would like to hear how you would like to arrange this for her."

Zhu Xuefeng didn't care. "What's the point of asking? If she's suitable, just stay. Ask for her opinion first. I remember she majored in economics, and later studied civil engineering to find a job."

"The master really cares about Miss Li. I remember it clearly. Miss Li herself expressed that she wanted to join our company and stay at the real estate company."

At that time, I wanted to train her, but I didn't expect that the delicate little girl was actually willing to work in a real estate company and deal with construction.

"Then stay. By the way, hasn't the Hong Kong government been organizing land reclamation? Let's try to get involved and let her be in charge of this project. You negotiate with the Hong Kong government and then say hello to Manager Wu (General Manager of Dongsheng Real Estate) and let Li Muqing learn about land reclamation."

The current status of Dongsheng Company is different from before. The Hong Kong government should not make it difficult for this small request. Besides, Dongsheng Real Estate has completed many engineering projects and has a good reputation. The industrial zone in Tsuen Wan has surprised many real estate companies with the ability of Dongsheng Real Estate.

"Master, you still can't forget about your plan to reclaim the sea. All right, I'll go and make the arrangements. Why don't you meet Miss Li and express some of your wishes?"

Looking at Wu Qianqian's cunning eyes, Zhu Xuefeng knew her little thoughts and slapped her on her plump butt in annoyance.

"Stop digging my grave and being jealous. You should go and negotiate on my behalf. I have so much time on my plate that I don't have time. Please make arrangements for tomorrow. I need to check on the progress of several research projects."

Seeing through Wu Qianqian's little thoughts, he simply picked her up and ran straight to the third floor. Wu Qianqian blushed and did not dare to look around to see if any servants saw her, so she had to throw herself into the man's arms...

After a long time, there was finally some movement on the third floor where the rain had stopped. Zhu Xuefeng looked at the beautiful woman who was so tired that she could not move. He smiled and got up. He had to wash up first. It seemed that he would be late for dinner again.

He picked up the phone and told the housekeeper downstairs, then took the report brought back by Wu Qianqian to the swimming pool on the rooftop. The swimming pool was well-kept and the water was crystal clear. Zhu Xuefeng did not go into the water, but just lay down on the lounge chair under the pergola, covered himself with a bath towel, and began to check the company's operating report.

Now is a period of rapid development for the company. All kinds of data are very good. With the support of mainland universities, several research institutes have made good research progress and are basically ahead of Zhu Xuefeng's requirements, especially battery research. Following the previous achievements, significant breakthroughs have been made.

"Why did you get up? You were so motionless just now. Why don't you take a rest for a while?" Seeing Wu Qianqian appear at the door, Zhu Xuefeng put down the documents.

"The master has gotten up, how dare I, a maid, just lie down?" Wu Qianqian shook her hair, which was still dripping with water, and giggled softly.

Wu Qianqian, who had just finished taking a shower, had a lightly rosy skin, exuding a fresh scent. The corners of her mouth were raised, and there was a hint of satisfaction and laziness in her eyes.

"Dry your hair and don't catch a cold. It's windy on the roof." Zhu Xuefeng picked up his bath towel and handed it over. Wu Qianqian, wrapped in a bathrobe, rarely acted coquettishly.

"Master, please wipe it for me."

"You little devil, come, lie down, and let me serve you."

Hearing this, Wu Qianqian smiled and lay down, letting the man gently wipe her hair, feeling a little satisfied.

"Master, there are a few things I need to tell you that are not in the report."

"Well, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

It turned out that two major foreign companies came to Wu Qianqian and said that they had been badly cheated by Dongsheng Company. The airline company had excellent performance and high profits, but according to the agreement, the company would not distribute dividends and all profits would be invested in subsequent development.

Not only that, after Dongsheng Company completed the capital injection as agreed, it continued to make additional large investments. In order to avoid dilution of their shares, the two foreign banks could only make additional investments passively. They wanted to discuss with Dongsheng Company that this money would not be considered an investment, but a loan from Dongsheng Company by the airline. In this way, they would not have to make additional investments.

"You can't afford it? Not really. Our additional investment is only 60 million. It should be enough for each of them to add 10 million. Don't tell me that such a big foreign company doesn't have this little money."

"Master, you forgot that the airlines borrowed money to buy the planes. The two companies each borrowed 15 million. They said that they are really short of money now."

"Oh, I forgot. Even so, this amount of money shouldn't be enough for them. Can they still be tight on money?"

"Sir, you don't understand banks. Even the most well-funded banks don't necessarily have a lot of liquidity. Besides, a project that requires an annual investment of 25 million is beyond their limit. I've worked at HSBC before, and as far as I know, they probably can't come up with that much money. They must have borrowed from other projects. And, I heard that their other projects have encountered some difficulties."

Zhu Xuefeng nodded. That’s right. The tens of millions of dollars today are not the same as the tens of millions in the future. He was a little confused.

"What kind of difficulties have they encountered? What could cause them to be short of money?" (End of this chapter)
