Mixed in 1980

Chapter 433 Provoking Chen Lao Er
Lu You remained silent, but was not surprised.

It's not surprising that Chen Yanyin's family stockpiled hundreds of tons of Hetian jade for her when she was five or six years old, and even opened a zoo for her.

Let alone the zoo, even if someone said that the Xinghuo No. 4 Building, the tallest building in the country, belonged to Chen Yanyin, he wouldn't be surprised, and would even think it was a matter of course.

Thinking about all this, Lu You muttered to himself, "My teacher is really giving me too much credit. Why does he think I'm worthy of such a rich young lady?"

Suppressing my thoughts, I continued my trip with my family.

Mentougou Zoo is very large, mainly divided into the herbivore area, the predator valley, and the performance area. In addition, there are five themed areas: Wildlife World, Happy World, Water Park, Bird Park, and Grand Circus.

After they finished exploring everything, it was already evening. Seeing that everyone was having a good time, Lu You said, "Sister, bring the two children over during winter vacation."

Lu Yan rolled her eyes at him; he had too much money.

Today's expenses alone amounted to over a thousand yuan for tickets, plus food and transportation, bringing the total to nearly two thousand. I wouldn't have spent the money if I hadn't come with my parents.

"Old Chen, that Lu You is quite good."

Ye Ling took Chen Yanyin's arm and walked towards the parking lot: "Aunt Zhao has been urging you lately, why don't you consider it? Take care of this important life event first."

"What's so great about it? How much do you know about it?"

Chen Yanyin glanced at her best friend with disdain: "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. I told you not to say the price of the bracelet, but you insisted on saying it."

"It's my fault, I didn't understand what you meant."

Ye Ling looked innocent, then quickly steered the conversation back to the main point: "Really not going to consider it? You always make a conscious effort to keep your distance when you're with guys."

"You just have a really strong sense of distance, especially with guys who want to pursue you. You feel uncomfortable even if you chat for a few minutes. But today is different."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanyin frowned slightly: "No, right? I don't dislike him because he helped catch the thief, saving me 2000 million. Isn't that normal?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow: "Whatever the reason, you don't mind him getting close, right?"

"I can't be bothered to listen to your nonsense."

While chatting, they arrived at the parking lot. Chen Yanyin quickly got into the car, and after Ye Ling sat in the passenger seat, she changed the subject: "You've graduated. Didn't you plan to take a two-month break? How about we team up and go on a trip?"

"Let's play for a week."

Ye Ling fastened her seatbelt and looked ahead: "If you rest for a few more days after coming back, will you start working again? Does that count as me taking the fall for you?"

Chen Yanyin said sullenly, "Of course it counts!"
Since she herself was unwilling to take over Starlight, her mother would definitely find someone to fill the role, and in her mother's eyes, Ye Ling was her future daughter-in-law.

In his eyes, Ye Ling was also his future sister-in-law.

However, Chen Lao Er was clueless. If it weren't for worrying about Ye Wan's reaction, Chen Yanyin would have really wanted to get her second brother and Ye Ling drunk and throw them onto the same bed.

Back home, Chen Lao Er was also there, holding his precious son. Chen Yanyin immediately snatched the child away and started playing with him.

The little one has grown up and is fair and tender.

Chen Yanyin dotes on her eldest nephew, kissing him every now and then: "Little guy, when you grow up, remember to be good to your aunt, and never be like your father."

"Boys should be magnanimous, not scheming or vengeful, and certainly not petty. When you grow up, learn from your third uncle, and never be like your father."

Chen Yanjin listened from the side, a smile always on his face: "Fourth brother, I'm going to Hong Kong again in a while, you'll be my assistant for a few days."

"Second brother, I was wrong!"

Chen Yanyin, shameless as ever, quickly backed down: "In a couple of days, A-Ling and I are planning to go on a week-long trip. Would you and your sister-in-law like to come along?"

"Dream on. Go out with you and be your babysitter the whole time?" Chen Yanjin curled her lip in disgust. This kind of thing had happened far too many times.

It was probably after I started junior high school.

The parents believed that the children could take care of themselves, and every summer when they went out to play, they required the children to take care of each other while remaining independent, and no longer took care of them.

The fourth one is different; he's a menace.

She needed everyone to take care of her every need, and she was incredibly lazy, especially in mountainous areas where she often had to be carried by herself and the third brother in turns.

"Second brother, isn't it bad to hold a grudge against your sister?"

Chen Yanyin frowned awkwardly: "How about this, on this trip, A-Ling and I will act as your nannies the whole time, is that alright?"

Chen Yanjin turned and left.

If you can believe Chen Laosi's words, pigs can fly. She's just a lazy bum. As for Ye Ling, she's not good at taking care of people either; she's just a little firecracker.

Being with them would drive me crazy.

He didn't want his son either, turned around and went back to the courtyard, took out his laptop and continued reading the news. The harvesting of Russia was still going on, and he no longer needed to be there to oversee things.

As for crude oil futures, there's no need for us to intervene. The US and Europe are exerting tremendous pressure in the media to cripple Russia, making it impossible for oil prices to stop falling.

In addition, gold prices are also falling.

Making a fortune is inevitable!
After a brief glance, Chen Yanjin stopped paying attention and began searching for information about the Belt and Road Initiative, which is the focus of future planning.

The main purpose is still to spend US dollars.

Over the decades, my father has earned so many US dollars that even with extensive investments in China and a massive gold hoarding spree, he still can't spend it all.

In recent years, I have made a lot of money. In 11, I profited from the US, and this year I profited from Russia. I also made a lot of money in gold and crude oil futures, and my US dollars have been accumulating.

Since the 1980s, Chen Fan has not believed that the US dollar will remain strong indefinitely, and that holding too many US dollars or US dollar assets is not a good thing. Chen Yanjin shares the same view.

We need to diversify our asset allocation. Once the Belt and Road Initiative is officially implemented, we can spend the large amount of US dollars we have and exchange them for various assets.

After pondering for a while, Chen Yanjin went outside, took out a cigarette and lit it: "I need to buy another batch of gold when the price of gold drops."

"Given the current international situation, competition among major powers will become more intense, and smaller countries will become mere pawns in the future. Holding gold provides a greater sense of security."

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Wan walked over.

She didn't stop him from smoking. Like her father-in-law, her husband wasn't addicted to cigarettes and would only smoke one or two when he was thinking about serious matters.

But after having children, we don't let him smoke in the room.

"Thinking about gold."

Chen Yanjin didn't hide anything and briefly explained: "Financial harvesting is too profitable. If you don't do a good job of asset allocation, you will definitely suffer heavy losses if there are any major changes in the future."

Ye Wan is no longer the little girl she was three years ago. Now she is considered half the matriarch of the Chen family and has a full understanding of the family's assets.

Just like this time when he harvested Russian oil, crude oil, and gold, the total profits are comparable to the entire net worth of the richest man in mainland China.

If I remember correctly, the richest man in mainland China is Wang Wanda.

With a net worth of US$151 billion, Ma Ali and his family's total assets exceed US$200 billion, making him the richest person on the Hurun Rich List.

But for the Chen family, such a net worth only requires one financial transaction.

The Chen family is still a major shareholder of Alibaba.

In its early stages, Xinghuo Investment invested a large amount of capital, with Feixing Mobile, Dadi Bank, and Hang Seng Bank all investing in the company and acquiring a large number of shares, forming cross-shareholdings.

Not only Alibaba, but also many other well-known internet and technology companies in China have seen the Chen family invest in and hold a large number of shares from the earliest investors, though they don't publicize it.

When Ye Wan first learned about this information, she was astonished and could only marvel at how far ahead her father-in-law's vision was.

With such a large family fortune, asset allocation is indeed necessary: ​​"We should discuss such a big matter as stockpiling gold with Dad first."

“Our dad made his fortune by speculating on gold.”

Chen Yanjin finished his cigarette and stubbed it out: "Find some time to discuss it with him. I happen to have some free time recently, how about we go out and have some fun for a few days?"

"Let's go to Mount Lu to escape the summer heat," Ye Wan nodded.

Chen Yanjin nodded and said, "Then let's go to Lushan. We'll set off once Xiao Wu and Jing Shu come back. It's been a while since we've seen that little rascal."

Ye Wan said irritably, "Xiao Wu has been doing quite well these past few years. Don't always have a bad word to say about Xiao Wu. People who don't know better might think you brothers are at odds."

Chen Yanjin curled her lips in disdain.

Even if that little rascal behaves himself, it will probably only be for a while. If you really let him go, he'll immediately show his true colors.

He stretched and said, "Alright, it's too hot outside. I'd better go back inside. This awful weather. I'll tell my parents later and ask them to find a place to escape the heat."

"Want to come together?" Ye Wan followed him into the house.

Chen Yanjin chuckled and teased, "They'd be happy to, of course. Our dad and his three moms are inseparable; they wouldn't want to hang out with us."

As he spoke, he hugged his wife and said, "Let's settle down and enjoy a few days of just the two of us."

"Behave yourself!" Ye Wan grabbed his hand.

"I'm not an honest person!"

……

After their lovemaking, Ye Wan once again fell into a state of limpness and weakness. She struggled to raise her hand and pinched her husband: "Do you remember what I told you last time?"

"What is it?" Chen Yanjin frowned.

Ye Wan bit her lip: "Marry A-Ling, I really can't handle it, please?"

Chen Yanjin rolled her eyes: "Are you crazy? First, I have no such intention. Second, even if I were willing, I'm afraid she'd beat me to death."

Ye Wan raised an eyebrow slightly: "You pig brain, can't you tell that girl likes you? With all the things you've done, hugging and kissing her, if she didn't like you, she would have kicked you in the crotch long ago. She'd still be calling you brother-in-law every day."

Chen Yanjin scoffed: "I'm her brother-in-law, and I'm good to her. Isn't it normal for me to go easy on her? Besides, I didn't do it on purpose. That time, I only apologized because she changed her style."

"She bears half the responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wan forced herself to sit up and bit her lip lightly: "Chen Yanjin, are you sure you don't have any thoughts? That's your own sister-in-law."

Chen Yanjin sighed, "Nonsense!"

Ye Wan slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "Are you sure? Think it through. If A-Ling marries someone else, other men will be hugging someone who looks exactly like your wife all day long."

"Don't you feel uncomfortable about it?"

Chen Yanjin frowned instantly, and Ye Wan laughed when she saw this: "Think again, what did you do when you mistook someone for someone else? Wasn't that despicable?"

"What if your future brother-in-law also mistakes someone for someone else? Tsk tsk... You'd probably have to kill someone. The only way to avoid that is, you know."
