Hearing that Zhao Yuqin said that he had become a multi-millionaire, Zhou Hao just smiled lightly. Zhao Yuqin gently stirred the coffee in front of her with a teaspoon, her eyes could not leave Zhou Hao's face, "Millionaire, you just smiled?" An ordinary person would have accumulated seven dollars in such a short period of time. With a huge sum of 80 million, I am afraid that I will be ecstatic.
"Just a millionaire."
Zhou Hao said: "Should I be so satisfied?" He turned his gaze out of the window, looking at the dark blue clear night sky outside, his thoughts fell into silence.
1996 is coming to an end, and 1997 is coming soon.
For people in Asia and even the world, 1997 was an extraordinary year.
Not only because Hong Kong, which had been away from the motherland for many years, finally returned to the embrace of the motherland, but also because the world-famous Asian financial turmoil also occurred this year.
The reason is that the international financial predators, George Soros, the controller of the Quantum Fund, took a fancy to the imperfect financial systems of Southeast Asian countries, and used a large amount of international hot money to impact the Thai baht, resulting in a sharp depreciation of the Thai baht.
Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea were all deeply affected. George Soros also swept tens of billions of dollars away in this campaign, and was finally frustrated when he attacked the Hong Kong stock market.
This mighty financial turmoil destroyed decades of economic development of Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, and brought heavy disasters to the people of Southeast Asian countries.
It's not that Zhou Hao doesn't have sympathy for those people who have been deeply hurt by the financial turmoil, but he knows that he can't change anything.
Although this financial turmoil was caused by speculators headed by George Soros, the most fundamental reason lies in the extremely imperfect financial systems of Southeast Asian countries.
What Zhou Hao has to do is to accumulate enough funds to catch up with this ride and get the maximum benefit for himself.
In the past two days, Zhao Yuqin has helped Zhou Hao release the stocks he held one after another. After Zhou Hao sells all the stocks he invested in the day after tomorrow, Zhou Hao plans to invest the money in the Hong Kong stock market.
Because in the first half of 1997, the Hong Kong stock market maintained a strong upward trend, and the Hang Seng Index repeatedly hit record highs. It did not begin to plummet until the Asian financial turmoil officially came in July.
However, Zhou Hao didn't want to buy stocks, but to invest in index futures. Although Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index hit new highs repeatedly in the first half of the year, there were also several ups and downs during the period.
Zhou Hao had studied it in detail in his previous life, so he knew the ups and downs of the Hong Kong stock market in the past six months, so he took advantage of this.
Zhou Hao is confident that his 70 to 80 million yuan will be converted into one billion yuan before June 1997.
Then, he will use the money to fish in troubled waters in the Southeast Asian stock market following the footsteps of George Soros and others.
George Soros and many other speculators in this
Hundreds of billions of dollars were spent in the campaign.
So Zhou Hao's one billion yuan will disappear soon like a pebble thrown into a lake, which also makes Zhou Hao's operation more concealed and safer.
After recovering from his contemplation, Zhou Hao saw Zhao Yuqin on the opposite side holding his cheek, looking at him motionless, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Zhao Yuqin shook her head lightly, "I think the way you think about things is very attractive."
She was telling the truth, she had already discovered Zhou Hao's body before such a big change occurred.
Whenever Zhou Hao was meditating, his focused and serious expression was extremely charming, with a quiet and introverted stability.
The waiter brought up the couple set meal that Zhao Yuqin had ordered, which was compared to the couple set meal in Dynamic City.
"Carles" is much more formal and more authentic, after all, this place mainly serves Western food.
Soon, the table between the two was filled with borscht, spaghetti bolognese, lobster with cheese, mixed vegetable salad, etc. To be honest, Zhou Hao has never studied how to eat western food.
He didn't know which hand should hold a fork and which hand should hold a knife, but he didn't intend to pretend to understand, and he ate whatever was convenient, instead, he seemed more natural and free-spirited.
Due to family reasons, Zhao Yuqin often has the opportunity to contact foreign friends and has been to Hong Kong, so she knows more than Zhou Hao.
But she felt that Zhou Hao's unpretentious behavior was more cute, at least it was much better than those hypocrites who only knew a little and boasted about themselves.
Moreover, Zhao Yuqin's heart was drawn to Zhou Hao's real side, she kept putting delicious food on his plate, watching Zhou Hao's eclipse, she herself ate with relish.
"You're going to be on winter vacation soon, what are your plans?" Zhao Yuqin asked Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao stuffed the piece of lobster meat into his mouth and said, "I'm going to go outside to have a look.
On the one hand, I want to increase my knowledge, on the other hand, I also want to see the medicinal materials needed in the prescriptions mentioned earlier. "
"Oh, I remember, those prescriptions you told my brother before." Zhao Yuqin asked, "Do you know where those medicinal materials are produced?"
Zhou Hao nodded, "I know."
"Shen Nong Baicao" not only records the medicinal properties and habits of various medicinal materials, but also indicates where they are distributed in the country.
Moreover, some medicinal materials are still distributed in places such as Cambodia and Vietnam, and many of them have not been discovered yet, and it is impossible to buy them in pharmacies.
Zhou Hao planned to take advantage of the winter vacation to visit the country first, and verify the prescriptions in "Shen Nong Baicao".
Shennong is not only revered as a Chinese medical doctor
The god of academia is also the god of agriculture. According to legend, the earliest farming technology in ancient times was passed down from Shennong.
In addition to recording various medicinal materials, "Shen Nong Baicao" also records the conditions and methods of growing these medicinal materials.
Zhou Hao thought to himself, if this strange book had been carried forward in ancient times, China would definitely become the most advanced medical country in the world.
Now, Zhou Hao plans to develop a large-scale medicinal material planting base in the future when he has enough funds to produce those undiscovered and popularized medicinal materials in "Shen Nong Baicao".
"Sister, do you want to go with me?" Zhou Hao extended an invitation to Zhao Yuqin.
Zhao Yuqin also showed a look of anticipation, but it soon dimmed.
"I want to go with you too, but I really can't leave. The old man at home wants me to go to Beijing during the Spring Festival."
"go to Beijing?"
Zhao Yuqin nodded, "He said he was going to accompany him, but I know what he's thinking, probably because he found someone who asked me to go on a blind date."
"Blind date!?" Zhou Hao's expression changed, and he immediately took Zhao Yuqin's hand, "Sister, I won't let you go!"
Seeing Zhou Hao so nervous about herself, Zhao Yuqin felt sweet in her heart, "My sister can't think about it, but no one in the family dare not listen to the old man's words.
Besides, it's just a blind date, and it won't really have anything to do with those guys. "
She leaned her head over and pressed the tip of her nose against Zhou Hao's, "Don't worry, my sister doesn't want anyone except Xiao Hao."
"En!" Zhou Hao nodded heavily, but there was still a gloomy feeling in his heart.
He knew that with Zhao Yuqin's qualifications and background, the person her father found for her must be extraordinary.
Although I have won her heart first, but if I want to win the beauty back, I need more strength.
Thinking of this, a raging fire ignited in Zhou Hao's heart.
At this time, the waiter brought the dessert, which was a large cup of creamy ice cream for the couple to share, with bright jam poured on it.
Zhao Yuqin smiled and said, "Okay, don't mention these spoilers, come, try this ice cream."
After finishing speaking, he scooped up the ice cream with a small spoon and brought it to Zhou Hao's mouth, and fed it into Zhou Hao's mouth, "How does it taste?"
"Very sweet." Zhou Hao smiled and spooned a small spoon to Zhao Yuqin.
Just as the two were happily feeding each other, there was a sudden quarrel behind them.
"Cuihong, don't leave me, okay, don't marry that person, okay? I beg you." It was a young man's begging, and one could hear how sad he was from the voice.
The woman opposite him snorted coldly, "Why can't you marry him? If you don't marry him, do you want me to marry you? I'll stay with you in that shabby pharmacy for the rest of my life?
Stay with you in that tofu-sized house for the rest of your life? I will serve you forever
The crippled daddy? "
The man blushed when he heard the woman's words, pointed at the woman and scolded: "You, you are not allowed to scold my father!"
"Why can't I scold him?"
The woman clasped her hands and said, "He's still trying to hold back the young man even though he's old. Why doesn't he just die, so as not to get in the way."
Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin frowned when they heard this, "This woman's words are too mean and vicious."
Sure enough, the man was so angry that his chest heaved violently, he raised his hand and slapped the woman.
The loud applause was very clear in the restaurant, and the woman suddenly went crazy, "Xiao Jiming, do you dare to hit me?"
The one named Xiao Jiming was also stunned, staring blankly at his palm.
At this moment, a man with a general's belly walked over from the door with a few strong men, holding a big brother in his hand, looking like a nouveau riche.
And the woman immediately stood up and threw herself into the arms of the man with the general belly, complaining pitifully, "Husband, this guy hit me, look, my face is swollen."
The man with the belly of the general touched the woman's face distressedly, then glared at Xiao Jiming fiercely, "You dare to hit my wife!" After saying that, he grabbed his collar.
The manager of the "Kalus" restaurant immediately went over to stop the two, "Two gentlemen, if you have any grievances, please go out and settle them. We are here for business."
The man with the belly of the general snorted, and let the two strong men he had brought go out with Xiao Jiming between them.
The other guests in the restaurant looked at Xiao Jiming's back with some sympathy, knowing that not only did he lose his wife, but he would also inevitably be beaten up.
"I'll take a look." Zhou Hao said to Zhao Yuqin, then stood up and walked outside.
That Xiao Jiming reminded him of himself in his previous life, who was also betrayed by his own woman and persecuted by others.
It can be said that Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming belong to the same people who have fallen into the world.
