Chapter 503: A Chance Encounter
UBS's headquarters in Hong Kong is located in the new two IFC building, the world's third-tallest building and a symbol of Hong Kong's wealth.
Standing in front of the building, Yan Xiaoqin glanced up, only feeling a little dizzy.
Chen Qiaoshan asked: "When you go to the dinner in the evening, you don't prepare evening dresses, should we go to the IFC shopping mall to have a look, or go to the boutique downstairs of the hotel?"
Yan Xiaoqin said: "I knew I was going to a formal occasion, I should have brought a set, the day before yesterday and Sister Chang walked around Pacific Place, where there are all luxury stores, and the price of clothes looks scary." ”
Located in Queensway, the heart of Hong Kong's commercial district, Conrad is a shopping paradise in Hong Kong and one of the world's top 10 shopping destinations.
Chen Qiaoshan still has this awareness, "Then go to Taigu, let's buy what we like, I lack everything now, but I don't lack money, you have to study like Xiao Wu, don't save me money." ”
"Your brother is the one who squeezes Xiao Wu all day long, so I'm not afraid that she will find out and trouble you?"
"I didn't say anything, and she didn't bother me less. ”
…………
After accompanying him for a long time, Yan Xiaoqin finally got all the outfits, Coast's small dress, small exposed shoulders, and a pair of nude pink high heels, which made her temperament change.
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty, Yan Xiaoqin is no exception, looking at herself in the mirror, she is also very satisfied.
"By the way, why did you choose a high interest rate when you pledged a loan?"
"That's because Elliott is not at ease, the renminbi has a lot of appreciation pressure, senior officials of the U.S. Department of Commerce have been running to Yanjing in recent months, and the U.S. Treasury Secretary has also publicly threatened to include China in the exchange rate operation country, in order to force the renminbi to appreciate. ”
Seeing that Yan Xiaoqin still didn't understand, Chen Qiaoshan simply changed his statement: "The same value is 100 US dollars, I borrow RMB now, and I will repay it next year, it may be worth 105 US dollars, and this part of the loss can be dozens of times higher than the interest of a few thousandths." ”
Yan Xiaoqin understood, but she asked curiously, "Will the appreciation be so big?"
"Who knows. Chen Qiaoshan did not answer positively, the United States and the European Union are pressing forward step by step, and the RMB exchange rate reform is imminent.
Since 95 years, the domestic exchange rate is closely linked to the US dollar, and now it has reached the end, in the face of international pressure, on July 21, 05, the central bank suddenly announced a one-time appreciation of 2.1% against the US dollar, since then, China began to implement a floating exchange rate system, and the speed of RMB appreciation has also increased.
Chen Qiaoshan knows very well that next summer will be the climax of a wave of arbitrage, and he naturally can't miss such a good opportunity.
…………
The Kadoorie family is one of the only non-Chinese top 10 richest people on Hong Kong Island, if you want to know the influence of this ghost family, just one point, the Kadoorie family-controlled CLP Company, which holds 20% of the equity of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, can imagine the energy.
Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, opposite Victoria Harbour, The Peninsula has been selected as one of the top 10 hotels in the world.
The reception was held in the Lishi Hall of the Peninsula Hotel, and after entering the hotel, the invitation letter was presented, and under the guidance of the waiter, Chen Qiaoshan and Yan Xiaoqin entered the venue.
The whole venue is not small, there are 300 meters square, it is very spacious, although the guest of honor has not yet appeared, and the cocktail party has not officially begun, but the atmosphere in the hall has been very lively.
Since it is a cocktail party, there is definitely no shortage of drinks, and tonight is a buffet cocktail party, which provides a good opportunity for communication.
Yan Xiaoqin asked curiously, "What is the theme of tonight's cocktail party?"
"Wait and see, the master will naturally announce when he comes out. ”
The Kadoorie family has a big business, and the Peninsula Hotel is their property, tonight's must not be so simple, Chen Qiaoshan glanced at the entire banquet hall quietly, but unfortunately no one knew him, not even a familiar one.
In addition to the foreigners, the Chinese faces around him all spoke pure Cantonese, and Chen Qiaoshan couldn't understand half of the sentence, even if he wanted to interject, he didn't have a chance.
When the reception officially began, the host came to the stage to make a toast, and the two realized that tonight was a charity reception, and there was an auction in the middle.
Looking at Sir Ghost on the stage, Chen Qiaoshan looked at it several times, that person should be the new head of the Kadoorie family, and after a few glances, he diverted his attention.
The women who participated in the banquet all wore exquisite makeup, and Yan Xiaoqin was no exception, although she rarely wore makeup, she was also bright and moving today, especially a pair of smart eyes, which added a lot of color to her.
Chen Qiaoshan had a relaxed attitude, but Yan Xiaoqin was a little restrained.
Counting the time of Tsinghua Jia, this is the second time she has attended the dinner, relatively speaking, Tsinghua's specifications are higher, but this place makes her a little uncomfortable.
"Well, I knew I wouldn't come. Yan Xiaoqin complained in a low voice, and Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "What, not used to it?"
The two of them use the local dialect of Dengzhou, and it is not afraid that outsiders will listen to it, and these people around them can't even understand Mandarin, let alone local dialect.
Yan Xiaoqin nodded, "The dinner party I saw Tsinghua Management last time was not so boring. ”
After the toast, they will suddenly relax, and the audience will quickly divide into small circles, and they will get together to chat about topics of interest.
Chen Qiaoshan also had no scruples at this time, he took two cups of red diagony, handed one to Yan Xiaoqin, and said, "I'll tell you a joke." ”
"Okay. Yan Xiaoqin was interested, his mouth popped out a few new words from time to time, and sometimes it was really cola.
Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Do you remember that Zhou Rui?"
"How don't you remember. Speaking of that person, Yan Xiaoqin was a little angry, Chen Qiaoshan saved people, not only did he not know gratitude, but he also took revenge.
Although the Zhou family didn't get a good deal in the end, they had a bad reputation in the town, and when they heard that they had moved to the city, Yan Xiaoqin still couldn't understand his hatred in his heart, it was a life-saving kindness, so Chen Qiaoshan was injured on his feet.
Thinking of the scene when he saved people, she still had heart palpitations.
Chen Qiaoshan was only in the water for a minute, but for Yan Xiaoqin, it was a real life, she really thought that Chen Qiaoshan couldn't get up, it was a feeling of almost despair, and now looking back, she still couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Didn't I pick up mud in the brick factory, that kid drove a Santana and showed off with me, I was so angry at the time, I wanted to smash the glass of his car with a shovel, but I thought about it and held back, I made up my mind at that time, I must buy a Daben when I was twenty-one. ”
Yan Xiaoqin smiled: "What's the laughing point here?"
"Don't worry, I'm halfway there. ”
Yan Xiaoqin said curiously: "Didn't you order a big run, but I heard Sister Chang say that the car is still queuing up to clear customs, and it's still early, so it's not half done, right?"
Chen Qiaoshan said seriously: "I'm twenty-one now, isn't it considered that half of the goal has been achieved?"
Yan Xiaoqin heard this, and immediately laughed, but in public, she had to hold back, holding Chen Qiaoshan's arm with one hand, and the wine glass in the other hand was almost spilled.
The two chatted lively, but suddenly someone behind them asked with a smile: "Little brother, you are also from the mainland?"
As soon as he saw someone saying hello, Yan Xiaoqin hurriedly let go of Chen Qiaoshan's arm, restrained his posture, and the two turned around, only to find that there was a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face standing behind him, and judging by his appearance, he was at least fifty miles away.
The other party speaks Mandarin, but he is not very proficient and has a slight southern accent.
Chen Qiaoshan nodded, "Yes, we are from Yu Province, and Mr. is also from the mainland?"
The middle-aged man smiled, "Yes." ”
Don't think about it, it must not be easy to participate in this banquet, and looking at the other party's behavior and conversation, Chen Qiaoshan has a very familiar feeling, think about it carefully, it is a bit similar to the style of those senior code farmers in Zhongguancun.
Thinking of this, Chen Qiaoshan took out a business card and said, "Hello, I'm Chen Qiaoshan, this is my business card, please advise." ”
The middle-aged man took it with a smile, looked at it, the smile on his face was more, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Zhu Ming, I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a business card, but I'm glad to see you, we are peers." ”
"Oh, Mr. Zhu is also in the IT industry?" Chen Qiaoshan was a little puzzled, half of the people who engaged in IT at such an age were successful people, and he was really not familiar with the name Zhu Ming.
"I work for Netcom as a program engineer. ”
