Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 970 Twelve Years Later
Xue Xueli grabbed Chu Xiangqian's hand and asked with some emotion and excitement, "Will the withdrawal of such a large amount of funds have no impact on you?"

Chu Xiangqian smiled, the money deposited in the bank was already clean.

Only by using it as an investment can you make money.

The money in the Novice Village warehouse has not been cleaned yet, and if it is not used, it is just a pile of paper.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian thought so because he really had no shortage of money and no shortage of ways to make money.

Otherwise, no one's money comes from the wind.

Even if the source is problematic, there are probably only a few people in the world in this era who are willing to donate so much money.

However, Chu Xiangqian had a vague feeling that although the higher-ups needed funds, they would most likely lend them.

The $1.2 million grain loan from a few years ago was repaid with gritted teeth.

So I guess the more I donate, the more likely it is that the higher-ups won’t ask for it in vain.

As a result, Chu Xiangqian felt a little uncomfortable.

He really wanted to donate.

In the first half of last year, he had 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars in hand, 2.4 million US dollars in Standard Chartered, and 1.6 million in the Novice Village warehouse.

The amount in British pounds is over 1 million.

This year, I have more cash on hand.

Chu Xiangqian only took out Hong Kong dollars and British pounds this time, keeping the U.S. dollar, which had a relatively more stable exchange rate, as a small consideration.

Moreover, if such a large sum of money and supplies is handed over to the superiors, then his wife, children, master and relatives will definitely become more and more key protected objects.

As for supplies, in fact, only the supplies for the first 10,000-ton cargo ship need to be purchased in Hong Kong Island.

The remaining 10 tons can be purchased from Tianzhu.

Incidentally, it will be good for Bhagwal and Singh to run in the election.

The decision to put Bhagwal and Singh in power was actually already decided in Bombay at the end of 65.

Even if it means a slight loss, they will purchase large quantities of rice, wheat, sorghum, rapeseed, jute, millet, sugarcane and other materials, or refined oil and sugar in Odisha and transport them to Hong Kong for sale.

Now that there is an order for 10 tons of supplies, I don’t believe that Bhagwal and Singh can become the MP of Odisha and the police chief of a small town under Puri.

If managed properly, Singh might be able to directly become a deputy director or something like that in the Puri Police Station.

If the higher-ups are really only willing to lend money, then when the supplies arrive in Tianjin, they will most likely decide to buy them, and maybe even make a profit.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian became more confident and said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't you know who I am?

If we really want to ignore business, we can raise twice as much. It’s just that the materials are a bit troublesome. It’s difficult to gather enough materials and ship them back in a short time.”

Xue Xueli finally felt relieved and took a few deep breaths before calming down.

He let go of Chu Xiangqian's hand, frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "You should take out this money in several installments."

Chu Xiangqian knew what it meant as soon as he heard it.

The original plan was to take out 1 million Hong Kong dollars first, and then 1 million pounds.

Now it just increases from two times to four or five times, and it has no impact on me.

At noon in the Imperial Palace, they had another meal of braised pork, and Chu Xiangqian felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

But when he left Ouchi, he was holding a long box in his hand, which made his mouth crooked with smile.

The saying 'A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength; time reveals a person's true character' is definitely the best compliment to Chu Xiangqian.

Before I knew it, twelve years had passed.

In early June of 78, Chu Xiangqian drove his car and parked it outside the gate of the Beijing University Affiliated Middle School.

From afar, I saw my beloved daughter Jingyu pushing her bicycle out of the school gate with a few female classmates, talking and laughing.

I saw quite a few people standing at the school gate, staring at a Porsche 911 opposite.

Jingyu couldn't help but feel moved.

From Chu Xiangqian's perspective, the appearance of sports cars of this era is unbearable to look at.

So he has never been interested in sports cars.

As for building his own car, to be honest, Chu Xiangqian has no interest in it.

Although manufacturing cars can reflect a country's industrial strength, think about the many large companies in later generations that rushed into this industry, and 90% of them ended up losing money.

Chu Xiangqian doesn't think he is better than those big entrepreneurs.

More importantly, Hong Kong Island is not a place for industrial development.

Instead of playing with handmade sports cars and selling dozens or hundreds of them a year, it would be better to directly invest in the Niu Ma companies.

But doing so means providing funds and creativity to help European companies develop faster.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and gave up.

But the two-door Porsche 911 released this year looks no different from later generations.

Moreover, this car is a two-door convertible version. Not to mention the people in Beijing, this car would also be very eye-catching in Hong Kong Island.

Jingyu saw clearly that the person sitting in the car was his biological father who was always out and about.

I became excited instantly.

As soon as I put down the bicycle and was about to run forward, I saw my father had already gotten off the bike and was waving at me with a smile.

Jingyu, who was almost 13 years old, didn't care about anything else at this moment and jumped into Chu Xiangqian's arms.

Chu Xiangqian quickly reached out and hugged his precious girl.

"Dad, Mom said you would stay in London for a while longer, so why did you suddenly come back early?"

Chu Xiangqian helped his daughter stand steadily, then said with a smile, "The 17th of this month is your birthday, so of course Daddy has to come back early."

Hearing that his father still remembered his birthday, Jingyu's smile became even brighter.

Holding Chu Xiangqian's arm, he smiled and said, "So what gift did you prepare for me?"

"You can't tell me this in advance," he said, then looked at his daughter's female classmates and greeted them with a smile.

Several little girls smiled shyly, and one of them even bowed to him.

This made Chu Xiangqian feel embarrassed.

Reaching out to open the car door, "Come on, Daddy will take you to a big dinner."

Jingyu nodded quickly, but the little girl still didn't forget her bicycle.

I gave the bike keys to a classmate whose home was very close to the school, and asked her to help me ride the bike back home and then ride it to school the next day.

I got in the car, fastened my seat belt, looked left and right, and felt that this car of my father's was not only beautiful in appearance, but also had an excellent interior.

I thought to myself that when I turn 16 and get my driver’s license, I will also ask my dad to buy me a car like this.

Chu Xiangqian greeted his daughter's classmates again, got in the car, started the car, and drove away with a roar.

After the rear of the car disappeared from view, the adults and children at the school gate began to chatter.

Although many classmates already knew that Chu Jingyu's family was wealthy and his parents were from Hong Kong Island when they entered school last year.

Moreover, what Chu Jingyu eats and wears on a daily basis are obviously foreign products.

I heard that her mother also donated 100 million to the school to build a library.

He also donated 1 million to Beijing to improve the teaching conditions of primary and secondary schools. But she never thought that her father not only looked young and handsome, but also bought such a handsome sports car.

Now Chu Jingyu, who was already very famous, has become even more famous.

Just thinking about the two dogs that followed Chu Jingyu every time he went to and from school.

There were also four strong men who picked up the passengers. Some middle-aged people, young people, and even middle school students who had other thoughts in their minds immediately lost their enthusiasm.

Like his brother Jingrong, Jingyu went to kindergarten in Beijing.

When Jingrong was about to go to primary school, the family went to Hong Kong Island.

At that time, although Jingyu only attended kindergarten in Beijing for one year, he was still considered to be enrolled in school.

Last year, Jingyu should have been in the first grade of junior high school, and Chu Xiangqian had planned to let his precious girl continue to go to school on Hong Kong Island.

However, Xue Xueli, the grandfather of Jing Rong and Jing Yu, called Chu Xiangqian and strongly suggested that he let the two children study in Beijing for a few years.

Finally Jingrong was admitted to a university in the capital.

The reason is that it is to avoid going to school on Hong Kong Island all the time and forgetting what Beijing is like when you grow up.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this. At the end of January 66, after the Chinese New Year, except for himself, Margaret and Jingxing, the whole family stayed in the capital for more than three years.

Chu Xiangqian was completely sure that no one in Java would retaliate, so he brought his family back to Hong Kong Island.

After that, every winter or summer vacation, Xue Jinglan would take her two children and fly back to Beijing to live for a while.

For several years, the whole family celebrated the New Year in Beijing.

Margaret and Jingxing also spent another three years in the capital.

Not to mention Jingrong and Jingyu, even Jingshun, Jingfu, Feifei, Jinxiu and Jinzhi gave birth to the three brothers Chu Jinglin, Chu Jingwen and Chu Jingwu during those three years in the capital.

I have returned to the capital quite a few times.

So Chu Xiangqian didn't believe what the old man of the Xue family said at all.

After a moment of silence and thought, he came to his senses.

In the past ten years, I have done a lot of things.

Before the two great commanders Nick Song and Kat went to visit the Celestial Empire, Shanque and Huang Diao'er kept an eye on them all day long.

Especially Huang Diao'er. In 72, Chu Xiangqian had upgraded to level 43 with a value of 2132 million/2400 million.

The marten was also upgraded to level 42, with a physique of 31.8, strength of 4.6, and agility of 7.4.

1 point of physique plus 5 meters of eavesdropping distance means that Huang Diao'er doesn't even need to enter the White Palace.

Or when Nick Song is traveling or living in other places, you can easily hear what he says and what he discusses with whom from more than 150 meters away.

As a result, the superiors knew many strategies discussed by the bosses and the bottom lines of some matters that needed to be negotiated many days in advance.

Chu Xiangqian only communicated all this information with Xue Jianguo.

It’s not that I don’t want to report to Qian Guotai and Tang Lianxin.

Instead, one of them withdrew from the foreign affairs department and stayed in Hong Kong Island as the shopkeeper of a drug store.

One was transferred and left his post in the capital.

From the perspective of protecting himself, this is actually a good thing for Chu Xiangqian.

So he did nothing, but just asked someone to quietly help Tang Lianxin live a better life.

By last year, Chu Xiangqian had reached level 49.

Constitution 38.8, Strength 14.5, Agility 13.3.
As his physique continues to get stronger, Chu Xiangqian doesn’t look like he’s 38 years old at all.

There is nothing wrong with saying he is 25.

Moreover, Xue Jinglan and other wives probably received hundreds of millions of essence from him over the years, and with proper maintenance, they look ten years younger than their normal age.

Women naturally want to look as younger as possible, so Chu Xiangqian had to grow a beard.

With the slicked-back hair that is popular these days, he looks like he is 30 years old.

Otherwise, when standing next to Jing Rong, who is already 16 years old, no one would think that Chu Xiangqian is Jing Rong’s biological father.

What’s even more difficult is that Baoyi was only a 5-year-old girl at the time.

Now when I am with him, I have grown into a 22-year-old girl.

Chu Xiangqian has been avoiding Baoyi in recent years.
-
Kat intended to visit the Celestial Empire last year. After Chu Xiangqian got the news, he sent Huang Diaoer out again.

A lot of confidential information was obtained.

With the last news about Nick Song as an example, the superiors naturally trusted the news conveyed by Chu Xiangqian more.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t believe in Chu Xiangqian’s position and loyalty, but the intelligence needs to be proven indirectly.

It is impossible to believe everything Chu Xiangqian says.

If the opponent deliberately used Chu Xiangqian to spread false information, the loss would be huge.

But after the last example, the superiors were more calm when making judgments and decisions last year.

Thanks to these two great achievements, Chu Xiangqian, his wife, his second uncle and the Xue family have not suffered any impact in the Heavenly Kingdom in the past ten years.

As the only contact person after Tang Lianxin and Qian Guotai, Xue Jianguo rose to a high position in the corporate world.

It’s just that he couldn’t reveal his identity. His rank was higher, so his life became simpler and more secretive.

And this guy is over 40 and still not married.

Fortunately, Xue Jianrong got married in 67, and his wife was the divorced girl with a child.

Two children were born in three years after marriage, and three children were born in five years.

It can be said that this girl named Chai Yingqiu is definitely a great contributor to the Xue family.

The name of the third brother, Xue Zhirui, was given by Chu Xiangqian, who said that it was to thank Chu Xiangqian for being the matchmaker.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that his sister-in-law was dissatisfied with the name given by her father-in-law because it was not to her liking, so she instigated Xue Jianrong to let her brother-in-law choose a name.

As for the eldest and second oldest, they are named Xue Zhigang and Xue Zhiqiang respectively.

Chu Xiangqian thought that the names of his two nephews sounded fine individually, but when the two words "strong" were put together, they seemed a bit perfunctory.

Mr. and Mrs. Xue, as well as father-in-law Xue Xiaomin and mother-in-law Tan Youli have three great-grandchildren and grandchildren in five years, so they stopped urging Xue Jianguo to get married all the time.

Perhaps he was so disappointed with his troublesome second son that he no longer cared about his marriage.
-
Chu Xiangqian thought about it for a moment and realized that the old man of the Xue family was hinting to him that if Jingrong did not come back to study, it would be a kind of attitude for the little girl Jingyu to go back.

So Chu Xiangqian only considered it for a few days and decided to ask Jingrong to come back to study as well.

People of this generation cannot understand that the Celestial Empire is the future.

But Chu Xiangqian knew it very well.

Moreover, making money in China in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s was definitely ten times easier than after the new millennium.

Just by purchasing electronic products and clothing from Hong Kong Island, it is easy to make hundreds of millions of dollars in annual profit.

On the other hand, setting up a factory in China and shipping the finished products to Hong Kong for sale, or exporting them to Europe and the United States, can also generate huge profits.

If the Chinese currency earned by China was used to build office buildings and luxury hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

With just these properties, Chu Xiangqian couldn't even imagine how much his wealth would expand to in a few decades.
