Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

Qin Huairu's mother is being treated at a private hospital, and there are basically no major problems. He Yuzhu will also pretend to invite an American doctor for a consultation.

Of course, they also brought special medicine. A course of treatment lasts three months and costs two million US dollars. They won't negotiate the price at all, as our company produces too little and we don't have enough.

The high cost is what silences some people. Qin Huairu's mother's treatment will take about five to six months, with a total cost of three million US dollars.

Now, even if you have the necessary credentials, you don't dare to use them. Moreover, you need an American doctor to come and confirm before you can buy the medicine. After you buy the medicine, they deliver it to you, and then they treat you, which takes another one or two months.

They practically wear the word "trouble" on their faces. Would you dare to stay in this port city for half a year?

Next, I found schools for several children who were going to school. These were also private schools nearby, costing HK$50,000 per student per academic year!

Prices are rising too fast!

In capitalist countries, private enterprises are not places that ordinary people can enter.

The only difference is that after He Yuzhu acquired this private primary and secondary school, it used Mandarin as the language of instruction and English as the second language, instilling the concept of speaking Mandarin in children from a young age.

October 7th this year is special because it was the day the polygamous system was abolished, officially implemented after the "Regulations on the Reform of the Marriage System" came into effect.

He Yuzhu was asked about this matter because he has two wives.

"It seems like it has nothing to do with me? My wives were all married ten years ago. From today onwards, I am not allowed to take more wives. This is also the principle of 'new rules for new people, old rules for old people'."

"What is Sir Robert Ho's stance on this law?"

"What does this have to do with me? I wouldn't bother with such things; it's pointless. But as the ancients said, 'Better to be a hero's concubine than a mediocre man's wife.'"

There's always a way around policies from above and countermeasures from below. Other problems may arise; we'll deal with them then. Goodbye everyone!

He Yuzhu was completely indifferent to the matter. He would still visit Qin Huairu's mother and the children every day or two.

Qin Huairu was indeed good to her younger brother; she treated him, whom she had raised since he was a baby, no worse than her own son.

After my mother's consultation, she learned that there was a specific drug available and that it would be produced and delivered within a month. She was relieved that her condition would not worsen and would be effectively controlled.

He took his younger brother Qin Huai and his wife to learn management skills at his own jewelry store. After they learned well, he would give them a jewelry store so they could open a shop back in their hometown and not have to go back to working the land!

This delighted Qin Huai and his wife. After only a few days here, they were dazzled and overwhelmed by the extravagant lifestyle of the port city.

They had no intention of returning to Qin Family Village to live a hard life, especially the scene of Qin Huairu taking them to work, which they still remembered vividly.

The three of them traveled without any bodyguards. Qin Huairu drove herself, and because the car had the He family emblem on it—just a rather abstract character 'He'—all passersby gave way.

In many narrow streets and crowded places, this created a unique scene. Qin Huairu told him, "This is the status your brother-in-law has earned over more than ten years, through force and money."

Our 31-year-old Comrade Qin Huaiyong has become arrogant. His mind is filled with thoughts of being the king here, the person in charge, and the elder brother who is respected by everyone!

His saliva dripped down his chin, and Qin Huairu slapped him, bringing him back to his senses. He decided to learn from his sister and become a big boss in the future.

As for going back to farming, that's impossible, absolutely impossible! His older sister has always been the best to him since childhood, and he has the means to do so.

Just like my older sister said, opening a factory in the port city might require hiring people, as well as management or technical skills. There's a high chance that you won't be able to manage it well in terms of personnel and finances.

Unlike jewelry stores, as long as you can find a good manager, everything will be fine.

The shop and raw materials are provided by the older sister, the manager oversees sales, and the products are sold under the older sister's brand. Everything is provided, as long as you learn well and run the business properly!

Earning 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars a year is no problem!

Moreover, the plan given by the eldest sister is to make money from the jewelry store, and then invest a suitable amount of money in real estate and stocks to continue making money, so that the money can grow!

From now on, I can live a life of luxury!

As for the children, the nannies take care of them. They are more educated than the children, so the nannies don't need to worry about them.

In just a few days, the eldest sister has already changed everyone's clothes, from top to bottom and inside out.

His suit, watch, leather shoes, and ties and shirts that he didn't usually wear, etc.

A watch costs tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, a suit costs several thousand Hong Kong dollars, and my mother's jade set costs over ten thousand Hong Kong dollars.

The distressed old lady kept nagging for three or four days. Although the items were from her eldest sister's shop, she had to change all her clothes. Each adult's outfit would cost at least HK$200,000.

The four adults each had three sets, which cost around 2.6 million. When the old lady found out about this price, she almost fainted and immediately started the banquet.

Two million six hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars was an astronomical figure that she couldn't calculate. It was something that could be earned by farming for several lifetimes. She was not smart enough to calculate it.

All I can do is curse my eldest daughter, Qin Huairu, for being a spendthrift!

Qin Huairu gave her another set of imperial jade jewelry as a family heirloom, which was passed down to her eldest son's wife and then to her eldest grandson's wife. The old lady was too tired to scold anyone anymore.

This is such a waste of money, and nobody's doing anything about it!

When the old lady learned that the silk her daughter was wearing was "Yunmian," a tribute item from the past and a garment exclusively for the royal family, she never uttered another word.

If you're tired of yelling, then go ahead and cause trouble!

A daughter is no longer under her mother's control once she grows up!

The eldest daughter-in-law was so happy she could hardly see her eyes. She understood what a family heirloom meant, and she knew very well what the five million Hong Kong dollars price tag represented.

She is the eldest daughter-in-law, her son is the eldest grandson, and his wife is the eldest grandson's wife. The family heirloom belongs to her!

I'm not jealous of Qin Huairu giving Qin Huai four or five watches and four or five sets of jewelry at once. No matter how many there are, none are as precious as family heirlooms!

It's not for sale at my sister-in-law's main store either!

Customers can look at it, but no matter how much money they have, they can't buy it!

What she didn't know was that Qin Huairu doted on her younger brother, giving him an extra million Hong Kong dollars to invest in stocks and a set of Hetian jade jewelry as a family heirloom, which she forbade anyone to mention.

The Hong Kong stock market had already recovered last year, and by October 1971 it had become extremely hot, with all stocks rising and making money not difficult.

He Yuzhu left Hong Kong in mid-November, first going to the United States and then to China.

The gold and oil futures markets launched by the US's little brother securities firm officially opened for trading on November 18, with the rules basically finalized.

With two direct connections in the US and one in the US, he has already joined the Morgan Stanley consortium and is not alone on Wall Street!

The establishment of this futures exchange was unanimously praised by the consortium, whose members were all elites who recognized that gold and oil prices would not be stable.

With the introduction of futures, they had another opportunity to make a lot of money. Aihua didn't hesitate to invest and share the profits. Good things shouldn't be taken all by one person; the pie still needs to be divided.

The establishment of gold and oil futures trading markets is a good thing, as the absence of futures trading markets for these two commodities is not a good thing.

There are bullish players in the spot gold market, which can help you make money by trading gold!

There were no oil futures or spot markets. By the time the first oil crisis occurred in 73, what were you supposed to do with it?

I could only watch as the money slipped away before my eyes. This was legitimate money, with a provenance, not illicit money!

Mark, a member of the Texas oil conglomerate, has established an oil futures trading market in Texas, and a gold futures trading market will be established a few months later.

The NiuNiu friends jointly launched the gold and oil futures trading market, also for the sake of making money more conveniently.

For them, making money is the most important thing!

The economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure reacts upon the economic base.

They are part of the superstructure and also require a massive economic foundation!
