Around New Year's Day, the cold current invaded southward, and the temperature dropped below zero, and it was extremely wet and cold in the early morning.

After Xu Xin was secretly followed by Guo Jian, Cao Mo specially arranged a group of fixed security personnel in China, so that there was any need in the country, which also made it convenient for him to return to China and have someone available at any time.

When transiting through Singapore, they didn't feel much change in the temperature between Singapore and Draculamo, and the halls of Singapore International Airport, which looked like large multi-store, were air-conditioned - when they boarded the plane again, Cao Mo casually held a jacket by his side.

Arriving at Xinhai International Airport and getting off the plane, Cao Mo was poured into her neck by the cold wind of the early morning, and she shivered from the cold.

Cao Mo didn't bring any luggage, a small suitcase containing laptops, work notes and gifts for Cheng Xi and Jiaying, and after taking the shuttle bus with the army to the pick-up hall, he left Xie Sipeng and them at the baggage claim area, and walked out to meet Cheng Xi first.

Although they will be connected by video every other day, after a few months of separation, and then seeing the beautiful woman standing in front of her, the delicate and straight nose bridge, the red and plump lips, and the deep and clear eyes, on the beautiful and pure face, are so tempting - but what makes Cao Mo's heart move and intoxicated is the tenderness and sweetness of the lovesick eyes of the beautiful woman who will meet again after a few months, which makes his heart melt.

Cao Mo hugged Cheng Xi tightly and kissed her twice on the cheek, but she didn't feel that it was enough, and was about to pull her struggling hand away and kiss the red lips that she hadn't tasted for months, when someone took something and smashed her back, but saw a little beauty with dyed green hair holding a handbag and staring at her eyes that were a little exaggerated and purple eyeshadow:

"What about my dad, you didn't take the same plane, why have you been out for a while, and my dad hasn't seen anyone yet?

"Huh?" Cao Mo stared at Xie Xinxin's green hair for a long time, making sure that it was not a wig, it was dyed, and thought to himself that Xie Sipeng would have high blood pressure when he saw his daughter like this?

"Well, I'll talk to you. Xie Xinxin stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Cao Mo's eyes, reminding him to come back to his senses.

Cao Mo said: "I didn't bring any luggage back to China, so I brought a small suitcase with me, and your father and they are still waiting for the checked luggage!" and introduced Xie Xinxin to Cheng Xi with a smile, "Xie Xinxin, is Xie Sipeng's daughter, I told you, the little sister of the rivers and lakes...... Lao Xie came back this time, I guess I didn't expect her daughter to dye her green hair, so I thought about whether to buy some blood pressure medicine for him first!"

"......" Cheng Xi knocked on Cao Mo, didn't let him joke, and greeted Xie Xinxin with a smile, "I heard Cao Mo mention you, I didn't dare to admit it just now, I'm Cheng Xi!"

"Ah, I just wondered who such a beautiful young lady would be, and I came to the airport so early to pick up the plane, it's the cheap bastard. It turns out that you are Cheng Xi - I now know why Cao Mo hid you, he is afraid that someone will abduct you. Xie Xinxin didn't talk big or small to her father and Cao Mo, and when she saw Cheng Xi's small mouth suddenly sweetened, her voice was crisp and enthusiastic, and she looked very likable.

"Ahem, I seem to know you very well," Cao Mo said, "Why did you come to the airport so early to pick up your father?"

"Guess?" Xie Xinxin asked, biting her lip and habitually opening her big watery eyes.

"I guess - it must be that you don't know where to fool around and play all night and just finish, afraid that you will go home to sleep and be caught by your dad when he comes back, and then in a fit of rage, he will take scissors and twist your green hair, so you didn't go home directly but ran to the airport to pick up the plane, hoping that your dad will be moved to ignore your green hair. I think you have a better chance of succeeding. Cao Mo said with a smile.

"I don't talk to you," Xie Xinxin turned her face away and ignored Cao Mo, grabbed Cheng Xi's arm and asked, "Is Cao Mo usually so boring? What's wrong with my hair? This is the current trend!"

With a pinch of green on his head, where is it popular?

Cao Mo said in his heart, but he didn't want to fight with Xie Xinxin, so it was inconvenient to pull Cheng Xi to slip away first, and after waiting for a while, Xie Sipeng and the employees of Tianyue Industry ran out of it.

Xie Sipeng was quite proud when he saw his daughter running over to pick up the plane, and after looking at his daughter's long green hair a few more times, the smile on his face quickly couldn't hold back, and asked:

"Are you afraid that I will go home and get scissors and twist your green hair, so you came to pick me up?"

"Dad, how can you think of me as unconscionable? I just missed you—I didn't sleep all night last night! You see me yawning......" Xie Xinxin grabbed Xie Sipeng's arm and shouted.

Xie Sipeng was still very useful, and asked after discussion: "Can you dye your hair back, it's really not good, I'll dye it back in the next few days after returning to China - this green hair, I feel upset when I look at it!"

"I buy a wig at most. Xie Xinxin said.

"That's fine. Xie Sipeng was very happy to see that his daughter could give way, and he didn't dare to expect too much.

"By the way, I'll help you sell the top. Xie Xinxin said again.

"......" Xie Sipeng saw his daughter laughing at his bald head, and reached out to knock her.

Xie Xinxin "giggled" and ran away, which caused several young employees of Tianyue Industry to run over enthusiastically to help Xie Sipeng send his luggage home.

"Get out! A group of kings and calves, no one wants to beat my daughter," Xie Sipeng drove everyone away and asked Cao Mo again, "In this moment, Mr. Qian, Mr. Ge, and Mr. Ding have all called me and asked if you have any arrangements today?"

"In addition to going to the hospital to see if my Mrs. Cao can still be alive, what other arrangements can I make - I am returning to China this time for a vacation, except for eating or something, or you have itchy hands, you can find me if you want to lose a few dollars, don't pull me in any other activities - especially drinking flower wine, especially drinking flower wine, I will definitely not participate!" Cao Mo emphasized.

Cao Mo returned to China this time, except for the affairs in Africa that temporarily calmed down and was able to come to an end temporarily, the main reason was that Mrs. Cao was sick and hospitalized.

At first, Cao Mo didn't care, his father and Jiaying told him on the phone that Mrs. Cao was a little dizzy at the card table, and went to the hospital for a routine examination, and several indicators were not particularly good, so they wanted to stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate.

Two days ago, the cerebral infarction suddenly attacked, but fortunately, the person was in the hospital at the time, and the rescue was timely and there was no major problem.

There was nothing to greet, and after separating from Xie Sipeng at the airport, Cao Mo and Cheng Xi rushed directly to the hospital by car.

Mrs. Cao herself believes that the medical skills of public hospitals are excellent, but in the public hospitals in Xinhai, it is already super enjoyable to be able to grab a high-end suite.

In addition to the nursing bed, there is a suite that can be slightly more comfortable, and Cao Mo and Cheng Xi rushed to the hospital, although the time is still very early, but there is no need to be like other patients' family members who are stopped outside before the doctor's rounds, and they can't enter the inpatient building.

Cao Mo and Cheng Xi knocked on the door and saw Cao Li opening the door from the inside, wearing pajamas, and her long unkempt hair was not combed.

Cao Li hadn't woken up just now, and said in a daze:

"The plane landed so early?"

Although there are nurses and nannies, it is still customary to have family members in the hospital to accompany him in China - his father is lazy and usually careless, so he is not expected to take care of patients, and Chen Rong has a lot of things to do, and she is busy with daily work, so it is not realistic to ask her to stay with Jiaying in the hospital for the night.

Mrs. Cao has been hospitalized for a few days, but it was his aunt and Cao Li who took turns accompanying them in the hospital, and Cao Mo had known about it for a long time.

Cao Mo said: "There are limited connecting flights from Singapore, and this flight is the most convenient, so you don't have to stop at Singapore Airport for too long - grandma, is she awake, there is no big problem with her illness, right?"

"It's still early, I may not have woken up yet, there is no big problem now, but I am a little sleepy! Cao Li pointed to the door hidden inside and whispered.

"I'm awake, don't talk bad about me behind my back!Is Cao Mo coming?" asked Mrs. Cao in a loud voice.

Cao Mo pushed open the door of the ward in the middle of the room, and saw that Mrs. Cao had already got up and was looking for shoes to get out of bed, and was stopped by the nanny, her spirit was better than expected, and she walked over and said: "Jiaying told me, before they advised you to play less cards and go to the hospital for regular checkups, but you just didn't listen." You're really lucky this time, I heard that in order to let you go to the hospital for a physical examination, my dad almost wanted to tie you up and send you over, to see if your temper is still strong! ”

"How can I play less cards? I have a cerebral infarction, and after I am discharged from the hospital, I have to exercise my brain, otherwise I will not die, and my brain will be stupid first--and I was sick before, I think it was your father who stopped me from playing cards outside for a few fewer games. Mrs. Cao said heartily.

Cao Mo couldn't break Mrs. Cao's crooked reasoning, seeing that she was in good spirits, she pulled Chengxi to sit on the edge of the bed and chatted with Mrs. Cao, and waited for the doctor to come over the ward and inquire about the condition in detail, confirming that there was no major problem, and there would be no serious sequelae, so she could be relieved.

Just after half past eight o'clock, Cao Mo saw his uncle Cao Fangming and his aunt sneakily pushing the door and walking in.

Taking care of Mrs. Cao's mood, Cao Mo didn't put on any face, and sat there with his uncle cautiously asking questions.

Xintaihua Investment originally held a small number of shares in the refinery and Conero Bay New Town, and Cao Mo did not want to kill them all, but the creditors' committee finally decided to carry out bankruptcy liquidation by "the minority obeys the majority", and the small number of equity assets were taken over by Volkov Investment, Huamao, and Conero Lake Industrial Park, which was also the basis for the subsequent three co-owned refineries and Xingang City.

In the end, the creditor got back about half of the debt - his uncle Cao Fangming also suffered heavy losses, lending nearly 20 million yuan to Xintaihua Investment, and finally only got back less than 9 million of the capital.

After his uncle Cao Fangming got back the capital, he made a decision that he thought was smart, and the company was not opened, and he was directly written off, that is, he used the money to enter the stock market, and bought the shares of Tianyue Industry, thinking about the previous investment losses in Africa, and earning back from the shares of Tianyue Industry.

However, when his uncle bought Tianyue Industrial, the securities index rebounded to a high of 3,400 points, and the market value of Tianyue Industrial reached 5 billion at that time.

After about half a year, the market has been oscillating and declining, and Cao Mo did not think about maintaining the market value, or entering the securities market to speculate on his own stocks for profit, Tianyue Industrial's shares were not cared for, and the market value recently fell back to three billion.

His uncle's stock investment in Tianyue Industry once again lost bloody and miserable.

Cao Mo does not speculate on his own stocks, and there are no big institutions that favor Tianyue Industrial, except for a few major shareholders, the others are basically small and medium-sized retail investors who hold the shares of Tianyue Industrial, and investors like his uncle who hold millions of shares of Tianyue Industrial are considered big investors.

Song Yuqing and Chen Feng could see the data from the background at the beginning, and they were worried about who his uncle was instigated to do things.

According to the domestic regulatory law, the shareholding of immediate relatives must be calculated together, that is to say, if Muxiang Capital or his father and Jiaying want to buy the shares of Tianyue Industry, the share must be combined with Cao Mo, who is the major shareholder of the actual controller, and the purchase and purchase must be subject to the restrictions of the regulatory law on the major shareholder.

Theoretically, his uncle was not restricted by relevant laws, but at that time, he was still worried about being used by people with intentions, so Song Yuqing and the others deliberately stared at his uncle's actions in Tianyue Industry.

Cao Mo could see that his uncle was in a hurry at this time, and it was this wave of stocks in Tianyue Industry that had lost miserably, so he came over to him to inquire about inside information.

Cao Mo is currently putting 60% of the shares of Conero Energy into the listed company Tianyue Industrial, and when the time is right, he will also put the newly acquired 8% of the shares of Tianyue Investment into it, and eventually develop Tianyue Industrial into a super-large power and energy enterprise in the Gulf of Guinea.

He himself is very confident in the construction of a power generation base and cross-border power grid along the Gulf of Guinea by Conero Energy, but there are no domestic institutions that are optimistic about this.

At this time, Conero Energy accelerated the pace of investment, not only the unsettled profits were rolled into new construction, but also borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars, resulting in an increase in financial costs, and the settleable profits became very pitiful, which further suppressed the recovery of Tianyue Industrial's stock price.

Tianyue Industrial's stock price is indeed a bit miserable now, and it is not much higher than when it crashed earlier.

Since the reorganization of Taihua Group and the renaming of Tianyue Industry, in addition to rebounding with the market for a period of time, it is like a plague chicken, and countless small and medium-sized retail investors spray Tianyue on the economic forum every day The dealer is a big plague chicken.

Cao Fangming is a little worried about the bad economic situation in Africa, and Cao Mo is no longer "actually" in Africa, which makes Tianyue Industrial defective since the reorganization, otherwise the stock price would not be so miserable:

"I read the news the day before yesterday, Kanem's currency has depreciated by almost 50% this year, and the economic situation is not very good now?

"It's a little difficult to develop...... Cao Mo thought to himself that he showed a sigh, maybe it would make his uncle feel better.

The finished cement in the Gulf of Guinea is denominated in Kanem currency, and the price has not dropped much, but because of the currency depreciation, the current profit of 6 million tons of annual production capacity in US dollars is only comparable to the profit of more than 2 million tons of annual production capacity at the peak, which is naturally a bit of a collapse.

Relatively good, it was Conero Foods that purchased cocoa beans from Kanem and others, because the local currency has depreciated sharply this year, and the actual calculated foreign exchange price has fallen sharply, hedging with the international futures market, but quickly recovered profits.

However, Cao Mo couldn't tell his uncle this, and said impatiently for a while: "Don't inquire about this and that, don't talk about the handle, if I do some insider trading for your millions of investments, isn't it a joke to say it......?"

Cao Mo's impatient tone, Cao Fangming was of course very unhappy in his heart, but he tried his best not to show it on his face, and said with a smile: "I just ask more, Tianyue Industry will definitely do it, otherwise I won't buy Tianyue Industry's shares!"

"According to me, you shouldn't have learned how to speculate in stocks, if only you bought a house directly - I have seen several real estate projects, which have doubled compared to last year's discount, and I am almost heartbroken if I can't buy regret medicine. You don't want to see if you're the one who speculates on stocks!" Cao Mo's aunt sat aside and couldn't help but count down.

I could hear that his aunt usually didn't nag less, Cao Mo saw that his uncle Cao Fangming's heart was angry, and the green tendons in his brain twitched slightly, but he endured it in front of the hospital bed and didn't have a seizure.

Cao Mo pretended not to know, and saw that his uncle would not leave, so he continued to talk about the topic of the property market.

This wave of violent rise in the domestic property market is indeed a bit fierce.

In 07 and 08, there were a few five-character real estate projects in Xinhai, but that was definitely synonymous with luxury houses.

After the recovery of the property market in the second half of 09, a new round of violent rises, and the new sales of real estate in the inner ring are generally going to the five-digit head.

It is not only the Xinhai property market that is so fierce, but also the major large and medium-sized cities across the country, and real estate companies have benefited the most.

After surviving the debt crisis in 08, Dongsheng Real Estate successfully achieved a backdoor listing in the first half of this year.

Supported by the hot market in the property market, the market value of Dongsheng Real Estate has repeatedly broken new highs, and it is not even affected by the downward adjustment of the market, and the total market value has reached 60 billion on New Year's Day.

"......" talked about the property market, Cao Fangming's heart was dripping blood, but he could only say flattering words, "I read public reports that Tianyue holds 10% of Dongsheng Real Estate's shares, that is, the market value of 6 billion - the Forbes list is about to be announced, maybe your family will be on the list." ”

"Tianyue Investment is a strategic investor in Dongsheng Real Estate, promising not to reduce its holdings within three years, whether it is 6 billion yuan or 600 million yuan, it is really a 'meaningless' number - I am so young, do I still care if I am not on the Forbes list?" Cao Mo said very indifferently and Versailles.

"......" Cao Fangming held back the urge to vomit blood.

"I see that you are really blind, if you get the money to buy the shares of Dongsheng Real Estate, won't all the previous losses be made up? Now that you have fallen into this pit, you don't know when you will be able to get up - all the good family wealth will be tossed away by you!" Cao Mo and his aunt couldn't help but count it down.

Cao Fangming always couldn't control it, so he stood up and walked out.

"Your uncle is really, he has no fart skills, his temper still stinks, and now no one in the family can say anything about him, and if he explodes, it's like he was reincarnated in a cannon fight in his previous life-" Cao Mo's aunt kept counting.

"......" Cao Mo "hehe" laughed dryly twice, without accosting.

"Mom!" Cao Li, who had washed up and walked out of the bathroom, saw that her mother was getting more and more disagreeable, so she pulled her up and pushed her out, "Grandma is not in good health, I don't like to listen to you tremble...... and then said to Cao Mo, "I have to rush to the company in the morning, you and Cheng Xi can go directly if you have anything, grandma is here to leave it to Sister Liu, it's okay - I should be able to come over at noon." ”

"What kind of work are you going to in that company," Mrs. Cao called out to Cao Li and said, "Cao Mo is back, I asked him to rearrange a job for you, and you will go directly to Cao Mo's company to work, he dares not to agree......"

"Grandma, I'm doing a good job right now, so don't worry about it. Cao Li picked up the bag, said hello to Cheng Xi, and left first.

Cao Mo picked up the mobile phone and sat on the chair next to him, Mrs. Cao picked up the pillow and threw it at him.

"Ah, grandma, why are you smashing me?" Cao Mo said pretending to be stupid.

"You want to me off when you go back to China?" said Mrs. Cao angrily.

"Grandma, don't worry about Cao Mo, our bank is recruiting new people these days, I will ask people to bring the job list at noon and let Cao Li pick - I am now a director of our bank, and it will be no problem to arrange one or two middle-level positions." Cheng Xi picked up the pillow and comforted Mrs. Cao.

Both sides are grandsons and granddaughters, Cheng Xi knows that Cao Li has lived with Cao Mo and his grandmother for a longer time since she was a child, after all, after the two families fell out, Cao Mo's grandmother mainly lived with her second son in the early days, until Cao Mo and his father were imprisoned, and then ran over to take care of Cao Mo and Cao Jiaying.

If you want to talk about feelings, Cao Mo's grandmother will definitely not be worse than Cao Mo and his sister to Cao Li's granddaughter.

Now Cao Mo and his uncle no longer open a company, and he has also lost a lot of money investing in stocks, after Cao Li broke up with her ex-boyfriend, it was not smooth to find a few jobs again, Cheng Xi knew that Cao Mo and his grandmother must not be indifferent, but the old lady had not mentioned this matter to anyone before, presumably just waiting for Cao Mo to come back and ask him to nod......
