Li Xuan half-opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to fish around him, but did not touch the soft and hot body. ←, he heard the sound of dripping water in the bathroom, only to realize that his wife, Zhong Chuhong, had already got up to take a shower.

Last night, he was drenched in sevens, sevens, and eighty-eights. After returning to the wedding room, he slept until dawn. The good wedding night was just wasted. Li Xuan lay on the bed for a while, the clothes he was wearing had been replaced by silk pajamas, but he could still smell the strong smell of alcohol on his body. He didn't feel comfortable smelling it himself, so he stopped laying in bed and got up to wash in the bathroom.

"Ah, what are you doing, don't do anything wrong!" Zhong Chuhong's coquettish voice soon came from the bathroom.

"Last night, the bridal candle left you in the cold, and now I will make up for you for my husband!" Li Xuan said with a slight smile.

The two played in the bathroom for half an hour, took a mandarin duck bath, and then came out dry. Zhong Chuhong walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a pink bath towel, her pretty face was slightly red, and her beautiful eyes were still a bit blurry.

Li Xuan also came out soon, and saw his beautiful wife blowing her hair with her back to her. He walked behind Zhong Chuhong and looked at the delicate and white shoulders and the jade arm that was as smooth as snow.

"Stop making trouble, there are a lot of things going on today! Your clothes have already been put on the bed for you, so be obedient!" Zhong Chuhong said softly as she coaxed a child while holding the hand that wanted to untie her bath towel.

The two are indeed busy today. Although the wedding is over, there is still a lot of finishing work. Some VIPs will leave Hong Kong today, and Li Xuan and his wife must go to see them off. Many company employees and relatives and friends who had a busy day for yesterday's wedding, the two newlyweds have to express their gratitude. The couple's honeymoon trip. It also had to be postponed until three days later, when the finishing touches came to an end before the start.

Major newspapers in Hong Kong today. Naturally, it was slaughtered by the wedding of the century yesterday. Many newspapers are turning the newspapers published today into a special issue for the Li family's wedding banquet. From the guests in attendance. The wedding process, the banquet dishes, and the super fireworks show over Victoria Harbour were all reported in detail.

Even the Prince Charles and his wife attended multiple events yesterday morning, and this kind of hot news that should have been focused on was squeezed into an unimportant page. Several newspapers made a detailed comparison between Li Xuan's wedding and Huo Zhenting's wedding a few years ago. As a result, last night's wedding was an all-around winner.

The reporters made a rough statistic on the cost of the wedding banquet. The banquet is 2888 yuan per table. 380 tables in total. Coupled with the choice of Remy Martin as the wine for the wedding banquet, the expenditure on the banquet alone was as high as HK$1.5 million. The cost of the wedding dress the bride wore last night was as high as 300,000 US dollars, and the cost of this piece was as high as 3 million, including more than a dozen other dresses for the two newlyweds, as well as the necklace and jewelry worn by the bride.

Last night, the fireworks display over Victoria Harbour lasted for an hour, and the cost was 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Yesterday, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Li family's wedding, the Police Department almost carried out a full-scale mobilization. Li Xuan naturally did not want to bear the notoriety of wasting public finances because of his private affairs. Specially donated 1 million Hong Kong dollars to the Hong Kong Police Force as compensation.

In addition to other expenses such as renting hotel rooms, wedding flowers, private security, etc., the total cost of Li Xuan's wedding may exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the current Hong Kong dollar has depreciated slightly, the exchange rate against the US dollar has not broken 6.

A wedding that cost nearly 2 million dollars is absolutely luxurious even in the world. That's 1982 dollars. Purchasing power is much stronger than the dollar in three decades.

At noon, Li Xuan and his wife specially invited the Bush family to have lunch, and thanked Mr. and Mrs. Vice President for making a special trip. Transferred to Hong Kong to attend the wedding. Although Li Xuan did not know whether Bush had any secret arrangements in the past two days. But on the surface he has to accept the other party's feelings. The Vice President and his wife will return to the United States on Air Force Two in the afternoon. The Bushes and Marvin Bush, who is the best man for Li Xuan, will return to the United States. He will also leave together on his father's special plane.

And another distinguished guest who made some headaches, obviously has no plans to leave. Yesterday, the focus of the whole Hong Kong was on Li Xuan's wedding, but today the attention of all the media has shifted immediately. The graceful British prince and the noble and elegant princess have become the new hot spot of everyone's coverage.

In the afternoon, the groundbreaking ceremony of the City Polytechnic site was cut by the crown prince and his wife. Li Xuan, as the chairman of the preparatory committee of the City Polytechnic, naturally needs to attend.

At the media meeting, Li Xuan was reluctant to answer questions unrelated to the preparation of the academy, but the Crown Prince and his wife were very willing to communicate with the media in Hong Kong and answered almost every question. Li Xuan is also happy to see the reporters focus their firepower on the Charles and his wife. Anyway, it is not him who needs a headache.

At the same time, in the office of Guoxin Hong Kong branch in Central, Long Yiren was reading the newspaper. The front page of the Ta Kung Pao he was holding was also occupied by yesterday's wedding banquet. Although Ta Kung Pao is a left-wing newspaper under the leadership of the Party, it lives in Hong Kong, a society of commercial competition. While actively promoting policies for the mainland, it also has to consider its own sales, and publish some articles that readers like to see. Hot content.

Of course, even if it is also reporting the Li family's wedding of the century, the perspective of leftist newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao is different from that of Ming Pao and Sing Tao Daily. For example, the news from Ta Kung Pao mentioned the congratulatory gift that the central leadership entrusted Long Yiren to hand over. A pair of very beautifully framed "Beautiful Couple Tiancheng" inscribed and framed by the leaders of the central government. Li Xuan is naturally a person who knows the goods. The congratulatory gift inscribed by the second-generation leader, but a high political honor, not everyone can enjoy it.

Long Yiren heard the footsteps and looked up to see Zhao Shuhua, the general manager of the Hong Kong branch, walking in.

"This 'God of Wealth Li' is indeed as his name suggests. A wedding cost 10 million Hong Kong dollars. It's not bad money!" Long Yiren clapped the newspaper on his hand and laughed.

"Oriental Electronics is the most profitable company in Hong Kong, with abundant cash flow! It was reported in Hong Kong last month that Li Shengyuan used 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash to take over the 9.5% sale from a major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank. % of Standard Chartered shares, becoming the largest individual shareholder of Standard Chartered!"

Zhao Shuhua continued, "And Li Sheng also officially became the director of Standard Chartered Bank not long ago and the vice chairman of Standard Chartered Hong Kong. In addition, Li Sheng's Jia Hua Bank has also received sufficient capital injection in the past year. It has grown rapidly in one year. The number of branches has increased from 29 to 37, and it has become the largest medium-sized bank in Hong Kong!”

"The other guest I attended was Yang Lingjun, the president of Jiahua Bank, in the "Three Walks" program?" asked Long Yiren, who was going to ATV to participate in the recording in the afternoon.

Zhao Shuhua nodded and said: "The original management of Jiahua Bank had a criminal record against the former major shareholder Lin's family, so it was not subject to Li Sheng's current position. After Li Sheng stabilized the situation, he gradually began to punish the management of Jiahua Bank. Change blood. This Yang Lingjun was a vice president of Hang Seng Bank before, and was hired by Li Sheng to take the helm of Jiahua Bank!"

"How did you negotiate with Jiahua Bank before?" Long Yiren asked again.

Guosen hopes to issue a HK$100 million bond in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong branch is negotiating with relevant institutions. Jiahua Bank has been very strong recently. After Li Xuan injected a large amount of funds and continued to shrink the real estate industry credit, the funds in its hands were very abundant. Hong Kong's bond market has always been traded (over-the-counter), and investors are mainly banks and funds.

"Jiahua Bank is willing to accept private placement bonds, but does not accept local currency bonds, but hopes to issue transferable US dollar bonds!" Zhao Shuhua said.

Long Yiren frowned, and the news reported by Zhao Shuhua was somewhat unexpected to him. Jiahua Bank was unwilling to accept Hong Kong dollar bonds, which showed that the other party was not optimistic about the future exchange rate of Hong Kong dollar. But Jiahua Bank's willingness to accept private placement bonds is good news, and private placements are less demanding than public offerings.

Public issuance needs to be rated first. Commercial rating agencies such as Moody's and Standard & Poor's have very little understanding of China, which has just implemented reform and opening up, which will bring a lot of trouble to the rating.

For example, last year, Guoxin Company issued 10 billion yen of samurai bonds in Japan for the Suhuai Provincial Yi-Zheng Chemical Fiber Project. It encountered a lot of trouble in the rating process, spent a lot of time, and added many unnecessary extras. Financing costs. The process of private placement bonds is simpler, as long as the issuer and the acceptor negotiate with each other.

"Jiahua Bank is the one with the fewest additional conditions among the many interested investment institutions~www.readwn.com~!" Zhao Shuhua said again.

"You continue to negotiate. When I meet with this President Yang today, I will make an appointment with him to communicate with him!" said Long Yiren.

In a few months, after China and the UK start negotiations on the Hong Kong issue, Hong Kong's property market, stock market, and exchange rate will plummet. At present, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar is around 1:5.9, but at the most turbulent moment during the Sino-British negotiations, the exchange rate once fell to 9.6. Although the Hong Kong government urgently introduced a linked exchange rate system to stabilize the situation, the Hong Kong dollar did not completely collapse. However, in the following decades, the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar has remained at around 1 to 7.8.

Since Li Xuan knows that the Hong Kong dollar will soon depreciate, all the companies under his name have consciously converted Hong Kong dollar deposits into US dollars since last year. To this end, a number of economists from the Oriental Economic Research Institute conducted a detailed analysis of the future exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar and came to a series of conclusions that were in line with Li Xuan's appetite.

The banking sector has been hit the hardest by wild exchange rate fluctuations, and Jiahua Bank has been quietly reducing its Hong Kong dollar cash assets, converting them into foreign currencies and gold. Buying Hong Kong dollar bonds at this time, when the bonds expire, the losses due to the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar will almost wipe out all the profits, so Jiahua Bank is more willing to accept foreign currency bonds.
