Chapter 382 South Korea-Korea Crisis, Russia Gets Caught in the Crossfire (33)

Chen Yi is 22 years old. She graduated with a bachelor's degree and was admitted to Beihang University for graduate studies. Zeng Tuqiang is four years older than her and holds a doctorate from Peking University.

She's reached the age to get married!

When this topic comes up, Chen Fan loses all enthusiasm. The cabbage he carefully raised was eaten by a wild boar, and he was the one who had to deal with the stupid boar.

A daughter should not be kept at home once she grows up; keeping her will only breed resentment and hatred!

Chen Fan sighed. No matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do. If you really thought about it carefully, Zeng Tuqiang wasn't bad either. These days, anyone who can get a doctorate is pretty good.

As for his character, there's no problem. After all, I've watched him grow up since he was little. If he had any character issues, I would have dealt with him long ago. Zeng Tuqiang's two older sisters wouldn't have tolerated him either.

"Let's talk about it when Xiaoyi comes back this weekend!"

After getting dressed, I got up and went to the central courtyard. Soon, the children all returned. Yanxi and Yanyin rushed over to their father as soon as they saw him.

The three boys also gathered around him.

Zeng Ali moved a stool and sat down to the side, watching the six of them—father, son, and daughter—chatting, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

After sitting for a while, he saw Xu Jinqiu come over and noticed that her face was still flushed. He teased her, "Comrade Qiu'er, you're quite the show-off in broad daylight."

Xu Jinqiu's face flushed red, and she pinched her older sister: "It's all because you two are too useless, tsk tsk... look how greedy he is."

Zeng Ali was furious and slapped her.

Xu Jinqiu winced in pain and quickly changed the subject: "Uncle Zeng and Aunt Liu came over yesterday to talk about Xiaoqiang and Xiaoyi'er, but Chen Fan wasn't too happy about it."

Zeng Ali smiled and teased, "It's no use being unhappy. He's bullied Xiao Qiang for over ten years, so he deserves to have his eyes gouged out by Xiao Qiang."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I need to think carefully about how to prepare a dowry for Xiaoyi."

Xu Jinqiu slightly pursed her lips: "You don't need to think about it. As long as it exists on this earth, and Xiaoyi wants it, Chen Fan can get it."

"Don't forget what Chen Fan said back then?"

"In the future, we will choose one child to inherit the majority of our family property, and the remaining children, including Xiaoyi and Xiaoxi, will also have a share."

Zeng Ali was smug, saying that her sister-in-law had become her brother's wife, which was great. She had watched Xiao Yi grow up, and Xiao Yi was good in both appearance and character.

Before you know it, it's the weekend.

Chen Fan, with a dark expression, called Xiao Yi'er to the side courtyard. The two siblings whispered inside, while Zeng Ali eavesdropped outside, almost bursting out laughing several times.

三句话里边，最少有一句是骂曾图强的，果然是有多爱妹妹，就有多恨妹夫，也就是小强不在，不然还得挨一顿揍。

After a while, Chen Fan called his three wives over, opened the basement door, and let them go in to choose jewelry, all of which were for Xiao Yi'er.

Chen Fan was also rummaging through drawers and cabinets, finding all the property deeds for the house.

Not counting Ya'er Hutong, there are more than a dozen large courtyard houses in other places. I picked one from there and then chose another one from Ya'er Hutong.

There are two courtyard houses in total!

Then he started looking through property ownership certificates in ancient cities and towns all over the country, filling several boxes, and found 50 sets, which were distributed in different places.

"These are all homesteads, which can be passed down to the family in the future. In a few years, when the economy develops, they will all become tourist attractions, and the annual rent will be quite high."

He shoved the property certificate into Chen Yi's hand: "I'll build you a new community in Hong Kong later, just like your sister Xiaoyu, where you can collect rent and live off the rent."

"Thank you, brother!" Chen Yi happily accepted the gift.

I know what my brother is thinking, so there's no need to refuse. If I really refuse, my brother will be unhappy: "The neighborhood should be built bigger."

"You won't be shortchanged!"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and then led everyone to the basement of the east courtyard: "Take the calligraphy, paintings, and antiques yourself; they're for your family to pass down."

Chen Yi didn't stand on ceremony. She took a whole stack of calligraphy and paintings, and also selected quite a few antiques. The five of them made several trips back and forth to move everything to her room.

"I'll give you the money when you get married. As for the business, we'll talk about it in a few years. I'll prepare it for you once you've decided what you want to do."

"Brother, we don't need the business."

Chen Yi hurriedly shook her head: "I really like my current major. I plan to stay at the university to do research in the future. I don't need industry. I'll leave it to my nephews and nieces."

"One for everyone!"

After ruffling the girl's hair, Chen Fan sighed in frustration: "If you want to stay at the university, then I'll prepare some shares in the company for you."

Chen Yi knew she couldn't refuse, so she could only agree. Ever since her brother returned from his time in the countryside, he had always considered everything for her. Chen Fan added, "There are also jade and jadeite rough stones in the yard next door. I'll pick out some good ones for you later, whether you want to collect them or sell them in the future."

……

"Mom and Dad, when are you planning to arrange things between Xiaoqiang and Xiaoyi?" Zeng Ali carried Xiaowu to the neighboring yard.

The little guy became restless as soon as he arrived here, clinging to his grandfather's back and making a ruckus. Zeng Ali tried to pull him off and discipline him several times, but Zeng Hongwen stopped her.

"What did Xiao Fan say?" Liu Wenhui asked curiously.

"Of course he wouldn't be happy. Xiao Yi'er is his precious daughter. He wouldn't be happy with Xiao Qiang or anyone else."

Zeng Ali smiled and teased, "What can he do if Xiao Yi is willing? He was just pulling us along to prepare Xiao Yi's dowry."

"That's good!"

Liu Wenhui nodded slightly: "It's better to do it sooner rather than later. I'll talk to your in-laws tomorrow. Arranging it at the end of the year would be perfect, since everyone will be available then."

Zeng Ali quickly shook her head: "Let's arrange it after the New Year. We still need to go to Hong Kong before the New Year. There are things to take care of there, so we probably won't be back until close to the New Year."

"Then let's set it for after the New Year."

Liu Wenhui rubbed her hands together and sighed, "After waiting for so many years, I'm finally going to hold my grandson. Old Xu and Old Zhao already have several grandchildren."

Zeng Ali joked, "Then you'll have to wait a while. Xiao Yi is still doing her master's degree and will be doing her doctorate next. You should take care of your grandson first and enjoy yourself."

"..." Liu Wenhui was stunned for a moment.

She sighed and took her grandson off her husband's back: "My grandson is the same, just a bit naughty, just like Xiaoqiang when he was little."

Zeng Ali chuckled.

Zeng Tuqiang was disliked by everyone when he was a child. It wasn't until he was nine years old that he calmed down after Chen Fan disciplined him, and then he suddenly started to work hard and improve himself.

It's amazing that they're all pursuing doctorates now.

While Chen Fan was busy preparing his sister's dowry, Soros and his international speculators had already entered South Korea, along with Hong Kong capital led by Han Ting and Xin Yingjie.

Han Bang knew Soros's capabilities well and knew he couldn't withstand the pressure, but he still wanted to try.

To withstand Soros's scythe, a large amount of capital was needed to stabilize the situation, so Korean capital quickly returned to China to provide support, and the first stop was to withdraw capital from Russia.

Han Bang: Brother Mao, I'm really sorry, there's a fire in my backyard and I urgently need US dollars to put it out. I'm withdrawing my investment first, you guys hold on your own.

Da Mao: Fuck you...

The withdrawal of South Korean investment immediately triggered a chain reaction, with other foreign investors withdrawing one after another, directly causing the financial crisis to spread to Russia.

In the words of the Koreans: "Brother Mao, you have such a large territory in Asia. If there is a crisis in Asia, hiding in Europe won't help. We should share the burden together."

Korean fans are still trying their best to hold on!

But all of this was meaningless. Under the double blow of international speculators and Hong Kong capital, the Korean won officially began its plunge on November 17.

"Those bastards from Hong Kong have followed us again!"

Soros was extremely annoyed. When attacking Southeast Asia, they were allies, but when attacking Hong Kong, they became mortal enemies.

Now we need to stir the pot with a ladle.

I really want to add some poison to the pot so I can wipe out these people in Hong Kong, and then no one will stand in my way when we attack Hong Kong next time.

Soros could only dream about it.

In a different place, everyone's status changes, and they become a community of shared interests again. They rise and fall together, and if someone really tries to dig a pit, no one will benefit.

Even if you feel disgusted, you can only endure it!

Therefore, Soros specifically called Li Zhaoji. The two had previously cooperated in Singapore and had a very pleasant experience, so perhaps they could reach more consensus.

For example, we can take over South Korea, Indonesia, Japan... If you don't mind, we can also take over Hong Kong. We're all capitalists, and making money is the only thing that matters.

I'd be willing to short the US as long as there's money to be made.

Capital knows no borders. Soros did the same thing in the past, shorting the S&P 500 index in 2016 and reaping huge profits.

In his view, Hong Kong's capital is the same; everyone takes money from other people's pockets, and it doesn't matter whose pocket they take the money from. Hong Kong people are no different from Americans or Southeast Asians.
