He stood at the door, with the light coming in from the alley entrance behind him, and his figure seemed stretched out a little.
"Did you hear that? Mengmeng! Your grandparents haven't seen you since you were born. Do you really want them to travel across the ocean to come back to Shanghai to see you?"
As Guo Linxian spoke, she took Guo Zhiqiang into the house.
The small house had only one small window. The sunlight shone through the window, forming an irregular light spot on the ground. The furniture in the house was compactly arranged, with an old wooden table, a broken chair, and a bed.
"Brother! The room is small, please sit on the bed first!"
Guo Linxian also spoke a little awkwardly.
Seeing that the space inside the house was so small, not even as big as the bathroom in Guo Linxian's master bedroom in the Guo Mansion, Guo Zhiqiang, as the eldest brother, finally couldn't help but feel moved and felt sorry for his younger sister.
"Little sister, you...you have been living in such a small house for so many years?"
Guo Zhiqiang was really angry this time, his expression became serious, and he said very firmly, "What else is there to think about? Come back to Hong Kong Island with me tomorrow.
I can assure you, brother, that although our villa in Hong Kong Island is not as big as the Guo Mansion in Shanghai, it is not much different.
It is also close to the sea, with its own beach and pier. If you and Mengmeng go to Hong Kong Island, your life will definitely be a thousand times better than here."
He did not have any selfish motives in his words. After all, blood is thicker than water. Seeing his little sister, who was spoiled by his father and brothers since childhood, living such a difficult life for decades, Guo Zhiqiang felt very sad.
Guo Linxian also felt her brother's concern and sadness, and quickly forced a smile to explain: "Brother! The government has already begun to evacuate the residents and government agencies stationed in Guo Mansion. Once everything is resolved, Guo Mansion will be returned to us.
Besides, people only take up a bed when they sleep, so why would we need such a big house? We can’t clean it even if we want to!
The new China does not allow the keeping of slaves or nannies. I still feel comfortable and warm living in this little house.
Don't worry, we didn't suffer much. Everything is fine. Lao Liu has been reinstated and is busy in the army all day long!"
However……
As she spoke, Guo Linxian's eyes could not help but turn red again. She said that it was okay, but in her mind she was going through all the difficult days of the past few years.
Liu Rumeng, who was holding her mother's arm, also felt her body trembling when she spoke.
At this moment, Liu Rumeng's heart was also shaken. She thought, why not just follow her mother's wish and go to Hong Kong Island with her! Perhaps, this way, she could completely cut off all contact with Awang.
…
And at this moment, within the solemn zero ring of the capital.
The sun shines on a small building with a red roof and white walls. The pine and cypress trees in front of the building are lush and green. The environment around the building is quiet, with occasional bird calls.
Inside the building, more than a dozen foreign trade and finance-related staff were frantically making phone calls, inquiring about data from all parties, and then immediately summarizing them.
In their office, the desks were piled with documents and the phone was ringing one after another.
In another room next door, three professors and three directors all looked nervous and their breathing was rapid.
The atmosphere in the room was so depressing that it made people feel a little breathless. There was a world map hanging on the wall. There were several places circled in red on the map. These were the main producing areas of soybean exports in the world.
Because today, the price of soybean futures suddenly soared.
From the previous slow rise to $8 per bushel, as soon as the market opened today, it jumped rapidly to $8.5 per bushel within just one hour, which is a sudden increase of 6%.
According to the 10 million US dollars purchased by the national team before, with a margin leverage of 7%, the average entry price was US$7.5, and at this moment, a full US$1 per bushel difference had been earned.
The rule of futures trading is that a small amount of capital can be used to leverage a large number of orders.
Some people may not understand this, so here is a simple example to explain it.
The national team invested 10 million US dollars in principal and 7% margin leverage. After magnification, 10 million US dollars is equivalent to purchasing 142.28 million US dollars of soybean futures contracts at the current price.
The average purchase price at the time was US$7.5 per bushel, and the national team bought a total of approximately 19 million bushels of soybean contracts.
Now that prices have risen by $1 per bushel, the value of the soybean contracts held by the National Team is roughly $162 million.
Compared with the previous 142 million US dollars, it has increased by nearly 20 million US dollars.
If the transaction is completed at this time, the principal and interest will be recovered to be nearly 20 million US dollars, with a profit of 10 million US dollars.
In just over a week, 10 million US dollars turned into 20 million US dollars.
Wow!
Not counting, I don’t know.
After the calculation, all the staff in the red-roofed building were excited.
You know, the country's foreign exchange is precious. To earn 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange, how much grain, crude oil, timber, etc. must be exported?
With these 10 million US dollars, how much machinery and equipment the country urgently needs now can be purchased!
"Quick! Report this good news to the old man's office as soon as possible."
Professor Li was so excited that he slammed his fist on the mahogany table, then adjusted his glasses and said to the others in a very serious tone, "Everyone! In just over a week, using the futures market, we can earn tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange for the country. This is probably the first case in China!
