Mixed in 1980

Chapter 384 Chen Yi's Wedding (23)

"Damn it, I warned you a long time ago, how did you still get caught up in it? You managed to get into that place in Fujian and Xia, it must be related to smuggling, right?" Chen Fan gritted his teeth.

Chen Jianye was stunned: "How did you know?"

“My buddy has been investing in ports and shipping since the 1980s. Who can keep those messy things in Minxia from us? Everyone just sees through it but doesn’t say anything.”

Chen Fan sneered and took a deep drag on his cigarette: "You're fucking crazy, and those guys are crazy too. With such a commotion, did they really think they could keep it a secret?"

Chen Jianye broke out in a cold sweat.

If even Chen Fan knows this, how could the higher-ups not have any information? They're probably already gathering information and investigating.

"How did you get caught up in this? To what extent were you involved? Tell us in detail, and we'll think of a way to help you. No matter what, we need to save your life first."

Chen Jianye smiled wryly and could only recount the events one by one.

Since graduation, Chen Fan has been guided to the right path. His family is not short of money, and he has always adhered to his principles, keeping himself clean when it comes to money.

Last June, at a party with local businesses, I was inexplicably plied with alcohol and woke up to find two women lying next to me, and someone even took a picture of it.

From that moment on, I was no longer in control of my own destiny!
Locally, Chen Jianye's status as a department-level cadre meant he held a high position and wielded considerable power, but he didn't do anything outrageous; he simply turned a blind eye to certain matters.

"No wonder Chen Fan repeatedly told you when you graduated, just in case you went astray."

Cao Yang flicked his cigarette ash and said irritably, "Luckily, you just got caught up in this and didn't do anything outrageous, so there's still hope."

"My father-in-law still has some influence. I'll call him later to see if he can get you out of this mess, but what about your future..."

If you don't cross the line and voluntarily report someone, you won't be brought down, but you'll have a stain on your record, your political life is over, and you can forget about ever getting any further.

They will also be transferred away from key departments.

"It's not appropriate for your father-in-law to be working across systems."

Chen Fan shook his head slightly and looked at Chen Jianye: "I came to find someone. What are you thinking? You probably won't be able to make any more progress in the future."

"As long as I can get out of this mess, that's enough. I'm just a poor kid from the countryside, but I've managed to get to the provincial level and done a lot of real work. My life has been worthwhile," Chen Jianye said with a wry smile.

Looking back on graduation, Chen Fan repeatedly reminded him, and he had always remembered it, but he was still not vigilant enough and was dragged into the mess.

Fortunately, he doesn't have any major health problems, so he'll definitely be able to get out of trouble. He can then be transferred to a low-level government office and live a comfortable retirement.

Sometimes I think about it and I feel really unwilling to accept it.

He was only in his thirties and had already worked his way up to the provincial level. He had a good chance to advance one or two more steps, but someone ruined it all.

Someone came to pick him up that same day.

Chen Fan contacted Sun Shaojie and went directly to the Sun family to visit Old Master Sun. The old man was a key figure in the upper echelons and had the ability to intervene directly.

In his previous life, this smuggling case broke out in 99. Chen Fan had some understanding of it and roughly recounted it to the old man, which greatly angered the old man.

The next day, Chen Fan got busy again.

The shareholders of Hang Seng Bank arrived one after another, each bringing their family heirs, and introduced them to Chen Fan one by one, lest they end up losing out in the future.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone got down to business.

South Korea has completely collapsed, while Indonesia is still struggling to stay afloat. After receiving support from the International Monetary Fund, Indonesia still wants to implement a fixed exchange rate system between the Indonesian peso and the US dollar.

Unexpectedly, this move was met with unanimous opposition from the International Monetary Fund, the United States, and Western Europe, with the International Monetary Fund threatening to withdraw its aid to Indonesia.

You have to admit these people are ruthless.

The so-called aid was just a loan, yet they used it as leverage to immediately plunge Indonesia into a dual political and economic crisis.

The Indian ink shield has begun a new round of sharp decline.

Before the economic crisis, 1 US dollar was worth 2361 Indonesian Rupiahs. Now, 1 US dollar is worth 10000 Indonesian Rupiahs, and the downward trend continues.

When Zhao, the shipping magnate, talked about this, he couldn't help but laugh: "Indonesia deserves it. It took money from the International Monetary Fund, lost most of it in the foreign exchange market, and it was all for nothing."

"On the contrary, it suffered negative effects, truly losing both the wife and the army."

"Our foreign exchange reserves of over 200 billion have been completely depleted, and most of the foreign exchange aid from the International Monetary Fund has also been burned. However, our profits have increased significantly."

The Indonesian Shield is still falling, but the exact figure is still unclear.

Roughly estimated, revenue should be over 10 billion US dollars. In addition, the money earned from the large number of assets acquired in the early stage will also be used to buy at the bottom.

In the future, their group will surely become a force that can influence the economy of Indonesia.

In contrast, Japan's gains were relatively modest, with the yen depreciating only slightly, from 115 yen to 150 yen.

After discussing the situation in Japan, Li Hongying said, "Next, the only countries that will be affected are Hong Kong and Russia. We won't participate in Russia's affairs, so all that's left is to protect Hong Kong."

When will we have our final showdown with Soros?

Following the original historical trajectory, Soros will launch two more attacks, and when the fourth attack comes, the mainland will intervene forcefully, causing international speculators to suffer heavy losses.

Soros is now gathering momentum!
The first two narrow victories were clearly not enough to satisfy the appetite of international speculators. What they wanted was to turn Hong Kong into something like Indonesia or South Korea, completely collapsing it.

Even if things don't go well, we should at least be like Singapore.

The preparation period for this round is also particularly long, and the attack will not be launched until June.

"We'll see when Soros attacks. Before that, let the Hang Seng Index drop to 8000 points. If Soros dares to come again, we'll crush him completely," Chen Fan sneered.

The situation is much better now than in the last. We don't need to wait for the fourth round. Once the Hang Seng Index falls to 8000 points and the bubble is squeezed out, that will be the moment of decisive battle.

Before that, we need to dig a hole.

A huge enough pit to swallow Soros and all the international speculators. After settling his partners in, Chen Fan went home first.

Seeing several wives helping my younger sister try on her wedding dress made me feel uneasy. The little girl had grown into a young woman and was now going to belong to someone else.

The wedding began early the next morning!
The Zeng family came to fetch the bride. Although it was only next door, all the usual procedures were followed. Chen Fan carried his sister out of the house with a heavy heart.

Looking at Zeng Tuqiang, who was both his brother-in-law and sister's brother-in-law, he warned with a dark face: "If you dare to treat Xiaoyi badly, you can expect to have your legs broken."

Zeng Tuqiang chuckled: "Brother, you watched me grow up, how could you not trust me?"

"It's because of you that I don't trust you!"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and handed his sister to him: "Let's go, don't miss the auspicious time."

The wedding was exceptionally lively. In addition to relatives, friends, and business partners, executives from Chen Fan's various companies also attended, with over a hundred tables set up.

Chen Jianye also arrived, looking relieved. Chen Fan specifically asked him a question, and the guy mysteriously replied, "I can't say."

"Then don't say anything, just eat and drink well!"

Chen Fan poured himself a glass of wine and clinked glasses with his buddies: "I'm busy during the day, but I don't have anything to do tonight, so let's have a good drink together."

Everyone understands.

Chen Fan now has a large family and business, with numerous partners. He managed to gather almost all of them today, but he was too busy to attend to everyone. At each location, he could only exchange a few pleasantries.

"Xiao Yi, congratulations!"

Zhou Wenya took out a box and handed it over: "I didn't know what to give you, so I could only use this to make up the numbers. Please don't mind it."

Zhou Wenya often came to the capital and stayed at Chen Yi's house quite often. Chen Yi knew her well and knew that she was his brother's head housekeeper, so he didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the things: "Thank you, Sister Wenya."

Once you've accepted gifts from Zhou Wenya, you feel awkward refusing gifts from others.

Whether they were business partners in Hong Kong or executives of his brother's companies, everyone prepared gifts, which included jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy.

After walking around, Chen Yi couldn't help but gasp in amazement. The things she collected today could fill a small museum.

In fact, Chen Yi did not intend to hold a grand ceremony.

Those who plan to stay at the university to work in the future, like Zeng Tuqiang, will also find their work environments relatively simple, and they can simply invite relatives and friends over for a get-together.

My brother disagreed. He said that regardless of what our future work circle will be like, we should still get to know each other and build connections, because we might be able to use them in the future.

Doing research is not something you can do behind closed doors.

Chen Yi had no choice but to agree, but she overlooked her brother's status. In many people's eyes, anything related to her brother was a big deal.

As a result, the gifts prepared became more and more expensive, leaving Chen Yi speechless while Zeng Tuqiang felt his scalp tingle.

Luckily, I'm a researcher. If I were in politics, accepting gifts like this today could land me in jail tomorrow. No wonder people in power like to throw banquets.

When you receive a gift from someone, you feel embarrassed to refuse when they raise a glass, and you end up drinking one glass after another.

Chen Fan shook his head as he watched. He could only go up himself and lead the couple to offer toasts. If he were to drink like that, he would collapse before he finished toasting everyone.

After toasting each table, the young couple felt they had neglected their classmates, so they hurried to entertain them as well. Naturally, her brother entertained her brother's friends.

The students on both sides sat at the same table.

The young couple approached, holding up their wine glasses: "Please forgive us for our poor hospitality. I didn't expect so many people. Please don't be shy. Come, let me toast everyone."

“Chen Yi, now I understand. No wonder you’ve been so vague about your family situation. You didn’t want to discourage us,” a girl in a pink short-sleeved shirt said with a smile.

Chen Yi quickly clarified, "That's not true. My family used to live in a tenement. My brother did some business and knew more people, but they were all ordinary people."

"Ordinary people?"

Another girl wearing glasses pointed to a table in the corner of the courtyard: "The CEO of Feixing Group gave a speech at our school a while ago and poached a lot of people from our school. Unfortunately, I am one of them."

At this point, I couldn't help but joke, "His behavior just now was completely different from how he is at school. He was so humble in front of your brother."

Someone nearby joked, "Why don't you go up and offer a toast or say hello?"

The girl wearing glasses shook her head: "Forget it, I know him, but he knows me. Feixing Group has over 100,000 employees."

……

After chatting with their classmates for a while, the young couple returned to the main table. Their elders were all there, and the couple had to offer toasts to everyone.

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Just a token amount will do."

Zeng Ali sat beside him, a slight smile playing on her lips. Chen Fan's attitude began to change; he developed a sense of responsibility as a brother-in-law and started treating his brother-in-law better.

You can't change the facts, you can only change your mindset.

When Guan Xiaoyu was dating, Chen Fan was the same way. He was picky about Zhou Xu from the beginning, but after the wedding, he treated Zhou Xu very well.

They will definitely treat Zeng Tuqiang well in the future.

After the wedding, Chen Fan was busy seeing off the guests until evening. Then, he took his three wives to No. 20 Courtyard and had two tables of food and drinks delivered.

The women and children sat at one table, and the men sat at another. Chen Fan raised his glass and said, "Brothers, let's not talk about anything else, let's have a drink first."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.

Xin Yingjie picked up the wine bottle and filled everyone's glasses: "I'm going to Hong Kong in a couple of days. When are you planning to go? Now all that's left is the Hong Kong business."
