Chapter 238
The photo in the newspaper was chosen so well. Lin Wei’s white front teeth were so eye-catching that it was impossible for Fang Lianxin not to recognize them.
Treason!
Fang Lian was sulky for two days. He didn't even say hello to anyone when he went out for a walk, and the students didn't dare to touch his brow.
He was a restless person. After returning to the mainland, he returned to the school to work soon after.
"Haha, if you ask me to say that this old man is too old-fashioned, I have asked all these wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang and picked them up with my fingers. They are all dual nationalities. It is said that it is easier to do business. If you don't become a British citizen, you will be looked down upon. "
In the university office, the teachers would also sit together and gossip, holding enamel jars and some holding thermos cups, all of which were given by Fang Lianxin. It was not that he favored one over the other. Some of them were kept by their families. Or passed on as a gift.
"This is not the only thing that bothers me. In the past few years, wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong have frequently come to the mainland to invest, either to donate properties or to place orders. Lin, the richest man, has done nothing but visit relatives."
"You are not telling what you are saying . "Zhongting, there was a flood this year, but people donated a lot of money and materials, but they didn't come to Shenzhen to invest."
"I think this kid is smart and cautious. Let's wait and see first. The current financial situation." Austerity has made life difficult for private township and village enterprises. It's hard to say what the situation is. "
"The treatment of foreign businessmen and private enterprises is still different. You can't lump them together."
"They are all wild birds outside the cage. What's the difference?" "Hmph" and said, "Anyway, it's all speculation now, disrupting the market, and all the contracts signed in the Shenzhen Zone are void. In such an environment, do you expect these businessmen to be stubborn?"
The room was quiet for a few seconds.
This year was a year of depression, with fiscal deficit and policy tightening, which caused the booming individual economy to pull the handbrake, and everything seemed to be back to its original state.
Someone sighed: "What if he can become the richest man? His ability to assess the situation is really calm. I don't know if Lao Fang..."
Halfway through his words, he saw a colleague reminding him.
Fang Lianxin came in, holding the cane given by his daughter in his hand, which he carried with him wherever he went.
"Old Fang, when will Tangtang come back? But I haven't seen anyone in a few days." someone asked.
Lin Wei will come back every once in a while, and the longest time will not exceed two months. Counting the days, it seems to be almost three months.
Every time Lin Wei came back, it was a big event. Even though she came back to visit relatives in a low-key manner, there were still well-informed people who came to visit her, soliciting investment, looking for connections, asking for donations, etc., but they usually blocked the door. In addition, explain that visiting relatives is a private trip and not a business matter.
But this could not stop the enthusiasm of these people. Fang Lianxin and his wife became the breakthrough point, and there were many people rushing to please them. At first, the two couples listened to what the other party wanted to do, but later they got annoyed and rejected them all. .
However, if a friend of the old couple asks Linwei to bring something back from Xiangjiang, she will ask her assistant to note it down and bring it back next time. Gift.
"What are you doing back here?" Fang Lianxin asked angrily, "How can I get much out of running home every day?"
It's true that I haven't been back for several days, and this time it took longer than usual, both for the two children.
Someone Fang said: "That's right. If it weren't for old Fang Yingming's decision to send his daughter away, how could he be the richest man in Lin now?"
After hearing this, Fang Lianxin's expression softened a little. But thinking about the recent news, he felt angry again.
It's not good to leave it out for too long. What's the point of becoming a British guy all of a sudden?
The daughter he worked so hard to raise was trained by the British?
His daughter is great, so he raised her well. Is she even remotely related to a British guy?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Fang Lianxin subconsciously touched the cane given by his daughter.
...
"It's over, it's over..." Lin Wei walked back and forth in the room, "Now it's no better than before. After the complete opening up, my dad will be more informed. Sooner or later he will know about this. This time it is really over." Before. She deliberately hid the newspaper so that he wouldn't know about it, but now she couldn't hide it.
Wu Ming saw her look like she was in danger and said amusedly, "Is your dad really good at beating you?"
"Even if he doesn't beat you, he still has to scare you. He will definitely chase you around with a stick," Fang Mobai said like an uncle. Lying on the sofa, she looked like she didn't mind the matter, "Sister, you're done. Maybe the old man won't let you in."
Lin Wei felt that what he said was entirely possible, and she became even more worried.
"Then when you go back, help me beat the drum and let mom persuade him first?" Lin Wei and Fang Mobai discussed.
"What are the benefits?" Fang Mobai asked.
Lin Wei asked: "What do you want?"
Fang Mobai didn't know what to say. He wanted to get something from his sister, but it seemed that he lacked everything.
His sister will prepare whatever he thinks of, and whatever he doesn't expect will be given to him.
"Then keep the accounts and wait until I remember." Fang Mobai said leisurely with his hands on his hands.
"Remember, remember... But you have to do something. If you don't clear things up for me when I go back, then we'll have to talk about it."
"Don't worry, your brother, I can't deal with him even if I take action . Old man?" Fang Mobai slapped his chest loudly, "How are you doing?"
Lin Wei had a good plan, but it was a pity that the plan could not be changed. They learned that the old couple had come to Xiangjiang as soon as they got off the plane.
Lin Wei took a deep breath, and then said to Fang Mobai: "I have to go to Kowloon first. When you go back, help me get rid of the old man first. My sister's life is in your hands. Remember to work hard."
After leaving Fang Mobai, Lin Wei went I went to Kowloon Building to hold a meeting with the head of the company’s financial department.
"From now on, the company's accounts receivable will be settled in U.S. dollars first, including cash flow, and we will notify you when it will end."
"Do we need to issue a notice?" someone asked.
"No, don't make a big fuss. Just remind the marketing department to do this properly and slowly let them develop the habit. It's not that they can't settle in other currencies, but they just give priority to using US dollars."
Lin Wei thought about it recently. If according to future generations, You will find out by going to the exchange rate market.
The depreciation of the pound, the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, the depreciation of the renminbi, the depreciation of the yen, the depreciation of the Korean won, the franc... the franc is gone, I can’t remember.
This depreciation is relative to the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar. After the collapse of the Bollington Woods system, people sold U.S. dollars and snapped up gold, causing the U.S. dollar to fall. However, the U.S. introduced a policy last year (1980) and began to implement high interest rates, which has lasted for 12 years. The gold bull market has come to an end.
This also means that the US dollar has entered an era of hegemony.
This has nothing to do with her, and she can't control it. The main thing is to prevent the possible Hong Kong dollar crisis in the future. Of course, it would be better if it doesn't happen. If it does, it can reduce losses.
Then Lin Wei held a meeting with the management.
"From now on, Xiangjiang's local business will be tightened. In addition to the existing projects that have been developed, no new projects will be opened to ensure that the company has sufficient cash flow. The treasury shares will be released to the market to recirculate funds."
If the Hong Kong dollar depreciates, foreign investment will Tourists will definitely withdraw, the property market and currency will not survive, and the stock market will not be strong.
Lin Wei's three companies are all inseparable from real estate. You can imagine how they will fall when the time comes. This is different from the stock market crash. Even if you have more confidence in Lin Wei, you can't save anything.
The bigger the company is, the greater the impact will be. She took advantage of the 1973 stock market crash to buy a lot of Central real estate, but now it has become a big deal, so she has to make plans to buy back shares. If she makes a bad adjustment, she may explode.
Especially for Haoxin Real Estate, a real estate company, it should stop developing new projects and buying land. Whether it is vacation villas or residential development projects, it will stop. Existing residential projects will be liquidated and payments will begin.
"Some villas can be sold appropriately."
After Lin Wei said this, everyone was stunned.
For so many years, the boss has never let go of selling villas. From Victoria Peak and Happy Valley to Repulse Bay, they have never sold a single villa, and they have not let go under the pressure of loans.
The boss actually wants to sell it now.
Lin Wei just calculated that it will take three years for Haoxin to have sufficient cash flow to deal with this crisis. But who knows when the Hong Kong dollar crisis will come? She just felt that it had only been a few years.
This is a characteristic of real estate companies. Lin Wei has always been in control of the characteristics of high-debt operations. However, it is not easy for a real estate company to easily cope with such a sudden crisis. When real estate collapses, there is no way to save the market without strong cash flow. of.
However, because of the support of Hengsheng, she didn't panic so much. But what companies fear most is dependence on something. Shan Bo will step down at some point, and we don't know who will make the decision at that time.
It’s better not to panic if you have money, just sell the product and develop it further.
Haoxin's manager couldn't help but ask: "What news do you have?"
Lin Wei shook her head and denied: "Don't spread your word. The business in Xiangjiang is over. It's time to prepare for a change of battlefield."
"Change of battlefield?"
Where?
They are currently developing resort hotels in France. Do they want to expand the scale, or do they want to fully enter the European market, like Hertz?
"Mainland, we are preparing to enter the mainland, so you should gather more resources in the past two years and recharge your batteries first." Lin Wei found a perfect excuse for herself.
After listening to Lin Wei's words, several senior executives looked at each other. They did have this plan at first, but the changes in mainland policies this year did not seem to be very good. Why has the boss changed his mind again?
In fact, Lin Wei did not have any foresight in not entering the Xiangjiang market at the beginning. Although the Shenzhen District is now blocked, the leaders have withstood the pressure from above. The businessmen who went to Shenzhen to develop did not suffer any losses, but some new contracts were unable to be fulfilled. .
A good person in charge plays a huge role. Shenzhen District and Fujian developed so well in later generations because someone made a good start from the beginning.
Because of Haaland, Lin Wei didn't want to fight too fiercely with the mainland and make the British wary. She didn't have any big worries now, but the premise was that she had to force the British Hong Kong government to implement preferential policies for the shipbuilding industry.
Lin Wei said: "It's not good now, but it doesn't mean it will always be like this."
Policies will be good for real estate sooner or later, just wait.
In the following decades, the mainland relied on real estate to drive its economy.
However, the role of real estate in people's livelihood is really limited. Lin Wei has also considered this issue. Considering that she is not actually very interested in real estate, she was in Xiangjiang Real Estate to make a fortune before, but the capital has been accumulated, so she He wasn't that interested anymore and even transferred Wu Ming directly from Haoxin.
But on the other hand, as a businessman, there is no need to make money without making money. Only when you have money can you do other things that are beneficial to people's livelihood.
Lin Wei held several meetings in a row, and everyone got used to her work pace. Some people just have so much energy that they never seem to use it up.
But when she got home, her body's skeleton began to fail, and she suddenly felt tired.
However, thinking that there was still a tough battle to be fought at home, Lin Wei cheered up. She guessed that her old father should be sitting in the living room to relax, preparing to scold his unfilial daughter.
They were so angry that they went to Xiangjiang to arrest someone. This matter was really more serious than expected.
Lin Wei carefully climbed up the side staircase to the second floor, took a few deep breaths, and then gently opened the door.
"Ahhhh-"
As soon as Lin Wei opened the door, she was hit by a wave of sonic attacks, which frightened her so much that she almost left again.
What are you doing?
Trampled a mouse to death?
She looked along the living room and found that everyone in the family was in the living room at the moment. Everyone was watching TV together. What good program had Luo Jiatong developed?
It was Fang Mobai who just made the sound of trampling a mouse to death. He was not scolded because everyone else screamed with him, but they were not as lethal as him.
What are you looking at? All so excited.
Every time she comes back, her mother will be the first to notice her, but now she doesn't notice her at all.
Dad also held the cane with both hands and looked focused and nervous.
When she got closer, she realized that the Women's Volleyball World Cup was being broadcast live on TV.
When did the GBA even broadcast women's volleyball games?
Li's has always been pro-mainland, but it has never broadcast this kind of game before.
Most likely it was Luo Jiatong's idea.
She is also brave and is not afraid that the contracted artists of the TV station will be affected. There is no telling what trouble Wanwan will have.
Luo Jiatong was promoted to producer at a speed comparable to air landing. Many people say that she borrowed Lin Wei's light. In fact, Luo Jiatong is really good. In the past two years, GVB has been suppressing TVB and it is more than half as good as her. Credit, otherwise it would not have been possible to rise like a rocket.
Her years in the Revolutionary Committee have fully honed her ability to solve problems. Some people are like this, slowly stimulating their potential in difficult situations.
In the last phone call, Director Yang thanked Lin Wei for sending him a general, and said that in the future, any good young people like this would be sent to him.
Lin Wei was very upset. Luo Jiatong could do so well in a TV station and he could also do well in other places, but in the end he went to the TV station, otherwise she would have another general under her command.
Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. While they were watching the game, she sneaked back to the room and took care of herself as long as she could.
As a result, as soon as she turned around, she heard those two idiots Fang Mobai shouting: "Tangtang is back, come on, come on, come over and watch the game. It almost gave me a heart attack. This game is so fierce."
Lin Wei endured it . Angrily forced a smile and said: "No, just watch, I'll go upstairs first." She knew that this guy must have forgotten what she told her.
"You really don't want to watch? This is the World Cup final. You are too unpatriotic."
Lin Wei's fist hardened after hearing Fang Mobai's words.
This is really out of my mind, because I am afraid that her death will not be miserable enough! She didn't watch it because she knew the women's volleyball team would definitely win. What kind of extrapolation was this?
Facing Fang Lianxin's gaze, Lin Wei showed a bright smile, her two front teeth were neat and white.
Fang Lianxin felt that it looked very similar to the one fixed in the newspaper, so he subconsciously grabbed his cane and stood up.
"Ah..." Lin Wei started shouting regardless of the situation, "What are you going to do? Where can you find me, the daughter of a richest man, who can make a lot of money? Fang Lianxin, let me tell you, you If you hit me, I'll run away from home!"
"What's your name?" Fang Lianxin had never hit his daughter before. Seeing his daughter calling him by his name now, veins on his forehead jumped with anger, " Who's going to hit you? "
Huh?" Lin Wei immediately lost her temper.
If you don't hit someone, who can you scare with a cane? If I had known better, I wouldn't have bought it for him in the first place.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm not telling you, Dad. You are usually too fierce, which made me misunderstand you. The older you get, the more lenient you should be. This is the wisdom of the elderly. How can you get angry easily?" What? Even if I become a British guy, dad, you can't be angry and don't want me. How much face can I earn for you? You should hold me like a baby instead of worshiping me as a Bodhisattva. I can't do it again in the future..."
Fang Lianxin felt the anger in his chest rising up when he heard her "training dad" here. This traitor was not done yet. He slowly started to use the cane. Today he will Make an exception, why can't you give birth to a rebellious son?
When Lin Wei saw him preparing to hit me, she ran away immediately and kept shouting: "Ah, you just said you wouldn't hit me, and now you go back on your word. You are such a bad old man, and you don't keep your words." ."
"You bastard!" Fang Lianxin roared angrily.
When Song Ye came, he happened to encounter this scene, and Lin Hanzhi opened the door for him.
He came to visit with gifts. Standing at the door, he saw a figure running past his sight.
"Brother, come and save me, your sister is about to be beaten to death!" Lin Wei said and hid behind Fang Mobai.
Fang Mobai, who was being used as a human shield, looked confused. He always felt that this scene seemed familiar.
It just felt like something was not right, there was a sense of identity dislocation, and someone seemed to have stolen his lines.
Lin Hanzhi took one look and then withdrew her gaze, saying to Song Ye, "Come in."
From Yangcheng to Xiangjiang, everything was the same as before, no different.
She has nothing to ask for. She hopes that it will be like this every year, and that her family will be reunited and healthy.
