I have a thousand suites in Shenzhen

Chapter 130 The Spring Festival in 2008 was very cold (please vote)

At the end of December, after the international crude oil futures price exceeded 12 US dollars a barrel, Yi Anguo decisively closed his position.

I started going long when the international crude oil futures price was 70 US dollars a barrel, and it reached 99 US dollars a barrel, a total increase of 29 US dollars. For the first time I bought 5000 lots, every one dollar increase was 14.5 million US dollars, and I made a profit of [-] One hundred million U.S. dollars.

The second purchase of 75 lots was made when the international crude oil futures price was US$12 a barrel, resulting in a profit of US$[-] billion.

The third purchase of 80 lots was made when the international crude oil futures price was US$9.5 per barrel, resulting in a profit of US$[-] million.

The fourth purchase of 85 lots was made when the international crude oil futures price was US$7 per barrel, resulting in a profit of US$[-] million.

The fifth purchase of 90 lots was made when the international crude oil futures price was US$4.5 per barrel, resulting in a profit of US$[-] million.

The sixth purchase of 94 lots was international crude oil futures, bought at a price of US$2.5 a barrel, and made a profit of US$[-] million.

After buying 30 lots six times, Yi Anguo breathed a long sigh of relief again.

Throughout 2007, Yi Anguo earned US$91.5 billion in the international crude oil futures market. In 2006, he also earned US$18.88 billion in the international crude oil futures market.

In 2008, Yi Anguo believed that he would only make more money. After transferring the funds, he still only kept US$[-] million, and then sold [-] short positions.

Although the price of international crude oil futures will soar to a record high of US$2008 a barrel in July 147, it does not rise in a straight line.

In January, the beginning of the new year in 2008, international crude oil futures prices began to fall sharply. By late January, they had dropped to as low as US$86.69 per barrel, and then began to rise, rising to US$107 per barrel by mid-March.

After that, there was a sharp collision between the long and short markets, and the market fluctuated greatly every day. It rose by five or six US dollars and fell by five or six US dollars in one day, which were all very normal price fluctuation ranges.

For example, today's closing price is 107 US dollars per barrel, tomorrow it may be 101 US dollars per barrel, and the day after tomorrow it may be 106 US dollars per barrel. It is a repeated seesaw state.

But these are all things after the Chinese New Year. I originally agreed to go back to celebrate the Chinese New Year last year, but because Ding Jing gave birth to a child, I didn't go.

I originally planned to go back to celebrate the New Year this year, but the weather this year is too extreme, so it’s really not suitable to go back to celebrate the New Year!
Before the Spring Festival in 2008, the spring was cold, rainy and snowy, and the whole country encountered widespread rain and snowy weather. It was really not a suitable weather to go home to celebrate the New Year.

It was a big adventure to drive back by myself, and I might be stuck in traffic for a week.

A bowl of instant noodles costs 20 yuan, a trip to the toilet costs [-] yuan, and a cup of boiling water for making milk powder for a child costs [-] yuan.

When I flew back, the flight was delayed and the airport was closed.

Taking the train is even worse. 40 people are stranded at Yangcheng Railway Station, 200 million people are waiting to board the train, and a bottle of mineral water sells for 50 yuan.

Even after overcoming all difficulties, when I return to my hometown, it will be much colder than in previous years. The power may be out and the candles may have been sold out. It’s scary to think about it.

The adults are better off, but the children can't stand this kind of weather and are prone to freezing problems.

The weather in Guangdong Province is not very good. It is rainy and rainy every day, and it is also quite cold.

"I won't go back to celebrate the New Year. This ghost electricity is too deadly." Yi Anguo said helplessly.

The TV is showing news about the Spring Festival travel season, as well as news about cold weather and disaster relief.

"If I don't go back to celebrate the New Year, my mother will be so angry that she chases her to Shenzhen Town." Fu Huanhuan said with a smile.

"Can your mother be able to come here if she wants to? Look at the news on TV. Many people have been stuck on the highway for a week." Yi Anguo glared at his eldest niece and said.

"You two have been on winter vacation a long time ago. You told us to go back quickly, but you didn't listen and insisted on going back with us."

"It's fine now. I can't go back. Now you are happy."

"I can't go back. It just so happens that I haven't celebrated the New Year in Shenzhen Town yet! I can celebrate the New Year in Shenzhen Town this year." Fu Huanhuan said without any rush.

Yi Anguo's biggest headache is these two nieces. It's okay if he doesn't go back to celebrate the New Year, and the eldest sister can only say a few words.

But the two nieces also stayed in Shenzhen to celebrate the New Year. The eldest sister and brother-in-law felt that this was not a good feeling, and the new year would be boring.

But going back to celebrate the New Year at this time is indeed a bit risky.

Yi Anguo bravely called the eldest sister. As soon as the eldest sister answered the phone, she asked: "Where are you now? Have you set off? If you haven't set off on your journey, don't come back."

"I saw reports on the TV news that the roads were icy and there were traffic jams everywhere. Many people were stuck in traffic jams for days without moving."

"Chen Jianjun from our village has been stuck on the highway at the junction of Guangdong Province and Xijiang for a week."

"I'm cold and hungry. The past two days have been a bit better. The police gave me free rice and water. A few days ago, they said that a bowl of instant noodles was sold for more than 100 yuan. You have to fight to buy it. If you are slow to buy it, just buy it. It’s not here anymore.”

"Sister! I'm worried! I also want to go back, but I'm afraid of walking on the road. It's better for us adults. It would be terrible if a child is stuck in the road, has nothing to eat or drink, and is hungry." Yi Anguo hurriedly said said.

"If you haven't left yet, then don't come back. Although I really hope you come back to celebrate the New Year, your safety is not more important." The eldest sister said with a little regret.

"The weather this year is really abnormal. It's freezing to death when we come back. It's minus [-] or [-] degrees Celsius. We stay at home and warm ourselves by the fire every day."

"It's freezing cold outside, and there's a lot of snow. Normally, it rarely snows once a year. Sometimes it doesn't snow at all. But this year, it's crazy. It doesn't stop. There's heavy snow, light snow, light snow and heavy snow. Stop." I can’t stop for long! If I want to go to the vegetable garden to get some vegetables back, I have to dig through a thick layer of snow.”

……

After chatting with the eldest sister for a while, I asked sisters Fu Huanhuan and Fu Shasha to talk to their mother on the phone.

"Oh! You don't have to go back to celebrate the New Year, you can celebrate the New Year in Shenzhen!"

After putting down the phone, Fu Huanhuan cheered happily.

"Are you so happy that you don't have to go home to celebrate the New Year? Don't you want to spend the New Year with your parents at all?" Yi Anguo asked.

"Think about it! Isn't there no way to go back? There's nothing we can do about it?" Fu Huanhuan said with a smile.

"You don't have to be so happy if you can't go back to celebrate the New Year, right?" Yi Anguo said.

"It's too cold to celebrate the New Year at home, so it's more comfortable to celebrate the New Year here." Fu Huanhuan said. "And as soon as we go back to celebrate the New Year, my mom and dad will ask me to go on blind dates everywhere. It's so annoying!"

"Uncle! You can think of a way to persuade my mother and father to come and live here in Shenzhen Town. How great it would be!"

"You can't persuade me, how can I persuade you?" Yi Anguo asked.

"Your father keeps telling you that your parents are not traveling far away, so how can I persuade them?"

"My dad is really the same. He is not the only son of my grandparents, but also my uncle?"

"My uncle and my cousin are here. If my parents want to live in Shenzhen Town, what opinions will my grandparents have?"

“Isn’t it enough to go back and visit twice a year and give them some money?”

"There are so many people who come here to work. How many of them don't have parents anymore? They all think like my father, so no one comes out to work."

"Others are other people, and your dad is your dad. There is nothing wrong with others wanting to work and earn money to support their families. Is there anything wrong with your dad wanting to honor his parents at home?" Yi Anguo asked.

"If you can, go and persuade your dad yourself! See if your dad will listen to you and come to live in Shenzhen Town?"

"I didn't say, what's wrong with my dad being filial to his parents at home? I don't even have the ability to persuade my dad to live in a deep town. If I had the ability to do so, I would have done it long ago." Fu Huanhuan said gloomily. .

Yi Anguo actually hopes that his sisters will all come to live in Shenzhen Town, but everyone's situation is different, and not everyone is convenient to live in Shenzhen Town.

Yi Xiaolin and Yi Xiaoman's family still went back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year. People with parents still have to go home to celebrate the New Year even if they find a way.

Although Yi Xiaolin's father is gone, he still has an old mother here, and it would be impossible not to go back all year round.

Not to mention his father-in-law and mother-in-law!These people are already old, and it is really rare to see them once.

To put it bluntly, it’s hard to say whether it will be there for the New Year this year and whether it will be there for the New Year next year.

Fu Huanhuan's parents are not too old, around fifty, and Fu Huanhuan herself is also young. Occasionally they don't go back to celebrate the New Year. For her, there is probably no psychological burden, but because she doesn't have to be forced to go by her parents. Blind date, I keep talking about it in my ears, and it feels good.

As for Yi Xiaoman and his wife, they were here with their children during the Chinese New Year. How could they be as comfortable as going home? Their parents were serving them comfortably at home, and there were delicious meals without them having to do anything.

Their parents are still very young, only in their 40s. With a son like him and a grandson, they must be very loved and pampered.

Yi Anguo's parents are no longer here. Does it matter whether he can go home for the New Year or not?
If his parents were still alive, Yi Anguo would definitely have chosen to go home for the New Year without hesitation. Even if the road home was not easy, he would have made the journey home without hesitation.

Yi Haiyang and his wife also went home to celebrate the New Year with their children. Although the journey home for the New Year in 2008 was very difficult for many people, many people still set foot on the road home without hesitation.

If Yi Anguo must go back to celebrate the New Year, of course he will be able to go back. After all, everyone else has gone back. If he wants to go back, of course there will be no problem.

It's just that he didn't have the urge to go home for the New Year.

There are many reasons for this. The first reason is of course that the weather is not very good and it is too cold to go back to my hometown.

The second reason is that since my parents are gone, whether they can go back to celebrate the New Year is not that important.

The main reason is that he didn't think well about taking those women and children back.

Or should we take them all back?

But taking them all back, there is another problem. For example, Ding Jing, if they take both mother and daughter back, then it would not be good to leave Ding Jing’s mother alone in Shenzhen for the New Year!
If this was done, I'm afraid Ding Jing would not agree. It would be impossible for her to let her mother stay in Shenzhen alone for the New Year.

It would seem very troublesome to bring Ding Jing's mother back to celebrate the New Year together. If Ding Jing's mother knew that he had so many women and children, it would be hard to explain!

And Chen Ting, mother and son, are they willing to go back with him to celebrate the New Year?Do Chen Ting's parents also want to go back with him to celebrate the New Year?
Hu Jing and her two children went back with him to celebrate the New Year. What about Hu Qian?Should she stay alone in Shenzhen to celebrate the New Year, or should she go back to her brother-in-law's house with her sister to celebrate the New Year?

Sisters Li Sisi and Li Shanshan will definitely follow him home for the New Year, but what about Chen Ting?
Should she be left alone to celebrate the New Year in Shenzhen Town, or should she go with them?

The reason?
Chen Tingting doesn't know that her sister is also her brother-in-law's woman!
Anyway, the relationship is a bit messy!
This is also the reason why Yi Anguo is afraid of going home for the New Year.

Why not just choose a day after the New Year instead of going back during the Chinese New Year, and go back together?
Then there should be no such troubles.

Not only did Fu Huanhuan feel happy because he didn't have to go back to celebrate the New Year, Yi Anguo found that when he was sure that he didn't have to go back to celebrate the New Year, he felt inexplicably happy and relaxed.

The Huaxin Integrated Circuit Factory was completed in just ten months. Equipment is currently being installed, and equipment debugging is also being carried out intensively.

Many engineers voluntarily gave up the opportunity to go home for the New Year reunion and worked overtime in the workshop to catch up with the progress.

They strive to achieve mass production in March next year.

There is also a technical team that is developing a smartphone project and strives to launch the first-generation mobile phone prototype of Huaxin mobile phone after the year.

The charm of money is great, and Liang Song's ability is undoubted. He brought a technical team back from the United States to be responsible for the development of smartphones, with the goal of directly targeting 3G smartphones.

As we prepare to celebrate the New Year, the weather in Shenzhen Town is also very wet and cold, the temperature has dropped to about 5 degrees, and it rains every day.

Don't think that a temperature of 5 degrees is not low. It is not very cold. In the north, it is more than ten or twenty degrees below zero, which is called cold.

But there is heating in the north, but there is no heating in Shenzhen. Moreover, the north is dry and cold, while the south is wet and cold. In other words, in layman's terms, when southerners go to the north to spend the winter, they don't feel how cold it is?

On the contrary, I feel quite comfortable. I wear short-sleeves in the house, make dumplings and still sweat. When I go out and take a car, there is a heater in the car. When I get out of the car, I go to the supermarket. The supermarket also has heaters. It’s not cold!
But when northerners go to the south, when it rains and the temperature drops to about 5 degrees, they feel unbearably cold and uncomfortable.

Yi Anguo took Ding Jing, his assistants Zhou Mengdie, and Yang Hai, along with several large trucks of New Year's goods, to the Huaxin Factory to express condolences to all the engineers who stayed for the New Year, as well as other ordinary staff.

Liang Song did not go back to Baodao to celebrate the New Year. He brought his family to Shenzhen Town to celebrate the New Year. In fact, many engineers from Baodao also brought their families to Shenzhen Town to celebrate the New Year.

The supporting Huaxin employee residential complex has been built and renovated. Engineers and other technical personnel have been arranged to move in. The living conditions are very convenient. A bus has also been purchased as a commuting tool.
