Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After a few minutes, Lou Zhenhua recovered and said, "Boy, no wonder Xiao'e keeps saying you're lazy." Then he asked, "Does your father know about your idea?!"

Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes at Lou Zhenhua and said, "Uncle Lou, you are also a father. How can I let my father know about this? If he knew, wouldn't he be furious with me?! Although my father is not stingy now, his love of money has not changed. I don't want to be labeled as unfilial because of this."

After hearing what Yan Jiekuang said, Lou Zhenhua couldn't help laughing and joked, "I thought you were fearless. After all this time, you are afraid sometimes."

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Who doesn't have something to fear? It's just that I'm brave enough to ignore it."

Lou Shichang said, "Jie Kuang, don't tell us these empty words. Tell me, what do you really think? I'm not my stupid daughter who will let you fool me."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Look?! I told the truth and you all don't believe it."

Lou Zhenhua and Lou Shichang looked at each other. Lou Zhenhua asked, "Jie Kuang, when do you think the Polar Bear Nation will split up?!"

"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If the Third World War doesn't break out, the Polar Bear Country can only hold on for another ten years at most. It's possible that it won't even last ten years. But before the Polar Bear Country falls, I plan to collect some interest from countries where people are doing well." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang picked up the cup and took a sip of water, then continued, "America's economy has fallen into stagflation because of the equipment race with the Polar Bear Country. And people are now shipping goods all over the world. The economy has entered a period of rapid growth. America, as a father, has no money in his pocket. He can only reach out to his godsons. People are the first to suffer. I plan to fish in troubled waters when America is reaping the rewards from people."

Lou Shichang frowned and said, "Yan Jiekuang, why do I feel that what you said is a bit mysterious?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "Anyway, it's only the beginning of 1983, so there's still plenty of time. Just wait and see if you don't believe me."

Lou Zhenhua asked: "Jie Kuang, how are you going to reap your life?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "The fastest and most convenient way is the stock market and futures. Before the operation, I will prepare enough funds. Anyway, I don't believe Yan if I don't make a big profit this time!"

Seeing Yan Jiekuang’s determined look, Lou Zhenhua unconsciously looked at Lou Shichang.

Lou Shichang, who was thinking with his head down, seemed to feel Lou Zhenhua looking at him, and raised his head unconsciously. The father and son looked at each other, and Lou Shichang asked: "Jie Kuang, when are you going to end the recycling company's business?!"

Yan Jiekuang was slightly stunned, then asked: "Why do you want to end the recycling company's business?! Brother Lou, isn't this business profitable?!"

Lou Shichang said: "Jie Kuang, to be honest, this business is very profitable, and the money is easy to make. But I always have a feeling that this business may not last long."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Brother Lou, you have had a lot of dealings with the country in recent years. You also have some understanding of some domestic situations. Falling behind will be beaten. We want to learn other people's technology. Do you think they will teach us obediently?! For some technologies, even if we pay, they may not teach us. Since it doesn't work openly, let's learn it secretly. Don't look at the retired warships as some old warships. But don't forget that warships are expensive. It is impossible to build a new ship when new technology appears. Then we can only modify the old warships. Look at these years, our country's shipbuilding level has risen rapidly?! I have said long ago that high returns are only temporary. When the Polar Bear Country disintegrates, it will not be so easy to make money. Brother Lou, I know what you and uncle are worried about. But don't worry, since I choose to cooperate with your Lou family, I will not abandon you."

Lou Shichang laughed and said, "Would I be afraid that you would abandon us?!"

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Then what do you want to talk to me about?!"

Lou Shichang was immediately stumped by the question and didn't know how to answer. Lou Zhenhua then spoke up to help Lou Shichang out and said, "Can't I ask you to come over and talk to me?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Uncle Lou, even if you didn't look for me, I would still come and chat with you."

In fact, Yan Jiekuang knew that many people in Hong Kong City had no hope for the future and were responding passively. It was not until Hong Kong City returned that things got better. Now for Yan Jiekuang, he would wait for Xiaorizi to sign the Plaza Accord with America, and then reap the harvest from Xiaorizi. Then he would wait for the polar bear country to split up, and then make a profit from the polar bear country. Finally, when the financial crisis came, he would make a lot of money, and then officially retire. So now for Yan Jiekuang, what he has the most is time.

After lunch at Lou's house, Yan Jiekuang said goodbye and left. After Yan Jiekuang left, Lou Zhenhua asked, "Shichang, what do you think?!"

Lou Shichang replied: "I always feel that Yan Jiekuang has some potential to be a charlatan."

Lou Zhenhua said, "It doesn't matter if he is a charlatan or not, as long as it is beneficial to our Lou family, that's fine." Then he asked, "How is your real estate company doing now?!"

Lou Shichang replied: "It's developing quite well now. If we continue to develop at the current level, our Lou family will definitely surpass some of the old real estate companies in Hong Kong City."

Lou Zhenhua said, "You three kids. Shiming is good at maintaining the status quo, and you are very capable in all aspects, but you like taking risks. I'm not saying that taking risks is bad, but you rush too fast and your foundation is not stable. Fortunately, Xiao'e is behind you to help you stabilize your position."

Lou Shichang said, "Dad! Don't worry! Even if I mistreat my own son, I won't mistreat Xiao'e. Xiao'e has already given enough for our family."

"That's what a big brother should say," Lou Zhenhua replied, and then suddenly said, "I suddenly feel that those people are really behind Yan Jiekuang."

Lou Shichang was a little at a loss after hearing Lou Zhenhua's nonsensical words.

Time passed quickly, and it was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. A passenger plane landed at Sijiucheng Airport. Not long after, Lou Shiming and Yao Xiaodie accompanied Yao Xiaodie's grandmother, father, stepmother, and Jin Lulu's family into the airport reception hall.

Lou Shichang and Lou Xiaoe saw people coming out and immediately went to greet them. Lou Shichang took the initiative to say hello to Yao Xiaodie's family, then led them out of the airport and got into the car parked outside.

After the car drove for a while, Lou Shiming asked, "Brother, can we accommodate so many people at home?!"

Lou Shichang replied, "Don't worry! There's definitely room for them! Xiao'e has been buying a lot of houses in the city with Yan Jiekuang over the years. The three small western-style buildings around our house are all in Xiao'e's name. Someone was hired to clean up the small western-style building next to it yesterday. My sister-in-law's family and friends all live next door. In addition, the restaurant has also been arranged. Just be a bridegroom with peace of mind!"

Lou Shiming said, "Brother, I met Uncle Five in Hong Kong. Uncle Five said that Aunt and Uncle Three are hooking up and want to plot against us. He told us to be careful."
