Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

"You are Feng Lingling, right? I am Yan Jiekuang. Are Xiaolong and Xiaohu here?"

When Feng Lingling heard the three words "Yan Jiekuang", she was stunned for a moment. Although she had heard of this name before, she had never actually met him in person.

She knew very well that Mr. Yan was her husband's great benefactor, and it was his idea to come to Hong Kong.

Feng Lingling did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly replied, "Yes, please wait a moment."

Then, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Long, Brother Hu, there's a call for you!"

Not long after, Yan Jiekuang first heard a burst of hurried and messy footsteps, and then heard Zhang Xiaolong's steady and powerful voice, which sounded a little excited.

"Brother, is that you?"

Yan Jiekuang raised his lips slightly, revealing a friendly smile, and replied softly: "Yes, it's me! How are you? Did you have a smooth journey?"

Through Zhang Xiaolong's narration, Yan Jiekuang gradually understood the experiences of several people after they left Sijiucheng.

This journey has been full of hardships and difficulties!

Fortunately, everything went smoothly before reaching the shore, and the group successfully found the snakehead.

This snakehead was quite loyal. When he learned that Zhang Xiaolong and his companions were going to Hong Kong to seek development,

He generously introduced to them many things on the other side of the strait.

However, accidents happen all the time, and just when everyone thought they could reach their destination smoothly, an accident happened - they actually encountered foreign police on patrol at sea!

Faced with this sudden change, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the smuggling fee that Zhang Xiaolong paid was not in vain, as the human smuggler obviously had his own abilities and means.

After some maneuvering and negotiation, although at a huge cost, they finally succeeded in helping everyone escape the disaster and reach the other side safely.

Life after coming ashore was equally difficult. As they had not yet obtained legal identification, they had to hide in fear in an ordinary house.

After enduring several days in fear, I finally got news from the snakehead.

Their identities have been processed and they are waiting to get their ID cards.

At this point, this group of people were able to walk openly in the sun.

Following Yan Jiekuang's instructions, the two brothers sold some of the small yellow croakers without hesitation, quickly found a place to settle down, and then wrote a letter to Yan Jiekuang to report their safety.

When he learned that the Dragon and Tiger brothers were safe and sound, Yan Jiekuang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

"That's great, as long as everyone is okay."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Jiekuang continued: "Next, I need you to complete one thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolong on the other side couldn't wait to respond: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

More than a month has passed since they arrived in Hong Kong. During this period, they have done nothing. The only thing they can do every day is to wait for news from Yan Jiekuang. They don't even dare to step out of the door, for fear of missing any call.

Now that he heard Yan Jiekuang giving the task, he was naturally very anxious!

"You two should learn about stocks. You don't need to be proficient in them, just master the basic operation methods. Gradually convert the small yellow croakers you brought with you into US dollars and wait for my next notification."

Yan Jiekuang's voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained an invisible force that made people feel awe.

This calm temperament infected Zhang Xiaolong on the opposite side, and his originally restless mood gradually calmed down.

Take a deep breath and tell yourself to calm down and not be swayed by your emotions.

"Ok!"

Zhang Xiaolong nodded vigorously, with a determined light in his eyes.

He always believed in Yan Jiekuang's words and would carry them out without hesitation.

Because he knew that Yan Jiekuang was a trustworthy person, and his decisions and instructions were often well thought out.

The reason Yan Jiekuang asked the two of them to learn about the stock market was because it was already the end of June 1983. Although he did not pay much attention to stocks in his previous life, he still knew about the famous Black Saturday.

In July 1983, the two countries began negotiations on the ownership of Hong Kong.

However, unexpectedly, just two months later, various rumors and rumours spread like wildfire, claiming that the negotiations between the two sides had broken down.

Time has come to September 9th, this seemingly ordinary Saturday is shrouded in shadow - "Black Saturday" has quietly arrived.

The Hong Kong stock market suffered a heavy blow that day, with share prices falling sharply. At the same time, the Hong Kong dollar depreciated significantly, and the exchange rate with the US dollar fell to a historical low, reaching an astonishing ratio of 1 US dollar to 9.7 Hong Kong dollars!

This series of events was like a huge rock falling into the water, causing a thousand waves and triggering great panic among all citizens.

People panicked and sold their Hong Kong dollars, and rushed to buy US dollars in order to preserve their value and avoid risks.

This panic behavior further pushed up demand for the dollar, causing market chaos.

At the same time, citizens are frantically buying all kinds of daily necessities and supplies, fearing that there will be supply shortages and soaring prices.

In a short period of time, major shopping malls and supermarkets were crowded with people, the goods on the shelves were cleared out, and prices rose rapidly like a runaway horse.

The entire Hong Kong society is filled with an atmosphere of tension and anxiety, and everyone is in danger.

There was a lot of discussion on the streets, and people were full of worries and doubts about the future.

This sudden economic turmoil not only severely affected the lives of ordinary people, but also plunged the business and financial communities into unprecedented difficulties.

The government is facing tremendous pressure and must take quick measures to stabilize the situation and restore market confidence, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

This shocking conspiracy was as fragile as a piece of thin paper. It fell apart in no time!

After all, the Eagle Sauce has been entrenched and ruling here for more than a hundred years, and the interests involved are complicated and intertwined.

If the situation changes suddenly and unexpected disturbances occur, not only will it cause severe damage to itself, but it may also affect the entire body and trigger an unpredictable chain reaction.

Because of this, they will never sit idly by and watch social unrest continue to ferment.

Sure enough, just over half a month later, the American government began to study Hong Kong’s economic problems.

In mid-October, the British Hong Kong government suddenly issued an announcement, deciding to keep the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar firmly locked at the level of 1 U.S. dollar to 7.8 Hong Kong dollars.

This decision was like a stabilizing force, instantly stabilizing the entire Hong Kong economy.

The originally turbulent market gradually returned to calm, and the confidence of the business and financial communities was greatly boosted.

The market regained its vitality, various indicators gradually improved, and an economic crisis that could have triggered a chain reaction was successfully avoided.

With the stabilization of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, Hong Kong's social order quickly returned to normal.

People no longer worry about currency depreciation, and their lives and work are back on track. Business activities are booming, new opportunities for corporate development are emerging, and the entire city is thriving.
