Mixed in 1980

Chapter 298 Xu Jinqiu Gives Birth

"Just keep an eye on the gold price."

"The Soviet Union was subjected to various sanctions, and its oil and mineral products could not be sold. Its light industry was also in a terrible state, and it relied entirely on gold exports to earn a living."

"Gold has returned to a downtrend since last year."

"Especially the US, which is doing its best to suppress gold prices, the Soviet Union's gold could not be sold at a good price, and its economy would eventually collapse."

"In the next two years, as long as there is no regional war, the price of gold will inevitably continue to decline. Once a regional war occurs, the price of gold will fluctuate, but the US will definitely continue to suppress it."

"Gold prices fluctuate, but the overall trend is downward!"

Next year, a war will break out in the Gulf, causing gold prices to surge by tens of dollars in a short period of time, but they will soon be suppressed by the powerful United States.

In particular, in 91, a major player in the US shorted 2000 tons of gold in the British gold trading market, quickly driving down the price of gold.

When it comes to gold, everyone present agrees.

Chen Fan made his fortune through gold futures, astutely seizing the turning point in gold futures and becoming the richest man in Hong Kong, and even the world, within just a few years.

However, Chen Fan has no plans to dabble in futures trading in the past few years.

The market is volatile and changes too quickly, making it impossible to catch every opportunity. Entering the market with high leverage carries the risk of being fleeced, while low leverage offers little benefit.

Instead of doing that, we should focus on taking over the Soviet Union.

"According to my prediction, the Soviet Union should have collapsed in the second half of 91, and it would not have lasted until 92 no matter what."

"We've had over two years to plan this!"

"The time frame isn't too long, but it's not short either. As long as we work together and operate well, it's enough to snatch a piece of the pie from the Europeans and Americans."

……

The meeting is still ongoing!
After discussing the division of labor, they also needed to talk about the distribution of profits. Hua Sanshao and Liu Jianxiong didn't have any demands; they were only after money and weren't very interested in anything else.

Enterprises, talent, technology, and equipment are useless to them; minerals, resources, and land are something they cash out and leave once the harvest is complete.

Cash is the most practical thing!
Chen Fan has his sights set on minerals, resources, and land, but he can't handle them all on his own. So he mainly chooses to cooperate with the government in these areas for joint development.

As for enterprises, talent, technology, and equipment, Chen Fan only requires those in the communications field and will cooperate with the government to jointly exert efforts in the communications sector.

As for other fields, Chen Fan is not good at them!

We already have enough businesses; there's no need to expand blindly, nor do we have the energy to manage so many companies. We don't want to end up with a disorganized mess.

As for the authorities, they want everything, but no one knows how far they can ultimately achieve. They've already reaped the benefits from the Soviet Union, and now the West is vying for them too.

After three days of meetings, Chen Fan was finally able to go home. It was already past nine o'clock when he got home. The little dumpling was sitting on the bed, puffing out her cheeks, looking unhappy.

Chen Fan quickly went over and picked her up: "Little baby, I have good news for you. Daddy doesn't have a meeting tomorrow, so I can spend the whole day with you."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

Chen Fan kissed her: "How about Daddy takes you boating at Beihai Park tomorrow?"

The little dumpling nodded and said, "Rowing boat."

"You're happy as long as you have something to do?"

Miss Zhao picked up the little baby and said, "Lie down first, and let Daddy take a bath."

The little dumpling sat there and said, "I'm waiting for Daddy!"

Miss Zhao smiled. Has she become a little clingy?
Upon closer reflection, it seemed normal. The little girl just wanted her father to play with her, but Chen Fan left early and returned late for three consecutive days, and she couldn't see him during the day.

The following day, Chen Fan took her out for a day of fun.

When we got back in the evening, the little dumpling wasn't clingy anymore. She ran to her aunt's room, chattering about all the fun things to do, and even wanted to sleep with her aunt.

After staying at home for more than a week, Chen Fan took his daughter to Hong Kong again.

Upon seeing Zeng Ali at the arrivals gate, the little dumpling rushed over and cried, "Mommy, hug me!"

Zeng Ali picked up the little dumpling and kissed her repeatedly, making the little girl giggle: "Let's go home first, Mommy has prepared lots of delicious food for you."

The little dumpling giggled, "Mommy is the best."

Chen Fan smiled. The little girl knew how to coax people; she'd say "You're the best" to anyone she met, and no one in the family didn't spoil her. When they arrived at the small garden in Xiangjiang, the little dumpling ran around happily, finding it all very novel; she'd never seen a house like this before.

Actually, she came twice and stayed for quite a while. Zeng Ali took many photos of her, but she was too young to remember anything.

After the initial excitement wore off, the little girl started to feel sleepy.

Zeng Ali fed her some food, held her daughter and coaxed her for a while, and the little girl fell asleep.

She put her daughter on the bed, kissed her affectionately, instructed the maid to watch over her, and then came out of the room. She then saw a hungry glint in her husband's eyes.

My heart skipped a beat!
She gave him a flirtatious wink, turned around and went back to her room. Her husband followed her in. Without saying a word, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Inside the house, springtime was in full bloom!

After a long while, she finally calmed down and lazily nestled in Chen Fan's arms. Zeng Ali slightly raised the corners of her mouth and teased, "You must have been cooped up at home, right?"

"What are you saying? I miss you!"

"You miss me, no problem. Is it just missing me, or do you want me?" Zeng Ali teased.

"Is there a difference?"

His fingertips gently traced his wife's hair, inhaling her fragrance softly: "How's the investment company setup going?"

Zeng Ali gave a slight bow: "It went very smoothly. A-Jing was in charge of overall coordination, and a senior executive was transferred from Lululemon and the factory to serve as rotating presidents."

"We hired a headhunter and poached a senior executive from another company to serve as president. The framework of the investment company has now been established."

"When are you going back?" Chen Fan asked again.

Zeng Ali pondered for a moment: "If it runs smoothly for a while, we'll go back to Beijing. I'll send A-Jing back first. That brat forgets about her family when she's working."

My sister-in-law definitely has the potential to be a workaholic!

Chen Fan shook his head slightly: "Give her a long vacation and she'll behave herself. She needs to balance work and family well, or she'll end up losing everything."

"That's what I thought."

Zeng Ali sighed softly, "Wen Hua is a good person with a gentle temper, which is why he has been able to indulge her. If it were someone else, they would have made a scene long ago."

Stretching, Zeng Ali got up and dressed: "You get up too, put on your clothes, our daughter will wake up soon."

My daughter will definitely look for someone when she wakes up.

Chen Fan didn't dare to dawdle. He got up, dressed, and started planning how to take his daughter out to play these next few days.

Even while traveling, they don't forget about work.

Hu Yingxiang has agreed to develop the Tianhe CBD project with Xinghuo Real Estate, which will create the world's tallest building: Xinghuo No. 1!
Hu Yingxiang gritted his teeth and agreed to the project.

The investment in the entire project is enormous. Initially, there was only Xinghuo No. 1, but dozens of Grade A office buildings will be built later. It is definitely a huge project.

If the mainland economy fails to develop in the next ten years, the project will face huge losses.

Only someone like Hu Yingxiang would dare to do something like this!
Just like the previous highway project, almost no one dared to invest, but Hu Yingxiang did not hesitate and even won the lion's share of the project.

After the deal was finalized, Hu Yingxiang's Hehe Real Estate began negotiations with Xinghuo Real Estate, China Construction, and the Guangzhou government, involving many interests.

Fortunately, things were handled in a businesslike manner, so it was relatively easy to reach an agreement!
Chen Fan, the major shareholder, did not interfere recklessly. He delegated authority very thoroughly, only showing up once during the negotiations and making only one request.

After the completion of Xinghuo-1, its height must not be less than 500 meters, it must be able to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8 and a typhoon of level 12, and its service life must exceed 100 years.

After that, Chen Fan never showed up again.

I spend every day with my daughter, even when I go to work. My little dumpling loves going to work; she's treated like a little darling there.

More than half a month passed, and Zeng Ali finished her work. Not wanting to stay in Hong Kong any longer, she packed her bags and hurriedly returned to Beijing.

During this period, Sun Shaojie came once and brought news that the operation against the Soviet Union had officially begun, and that Hua Sanshao and Liu Jianxiong had entered the Soviet Union under the guise of investment.

Aside from financial support, Chen Fan couldn't offer much help, only occasionally glancing north with a slight upturn of his lips.

A greedy glint gleamed in his eyes!
Xu Jinqiu, heavily pregnant, came over and saw her husband staring at the north with a look of disgust: "If you didn't know better, you'd think he was going to eat someone."

Chen Fan reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

Just as she was about to reach out to help, Xu Jinqiu suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and clutched her stomach.
