Chapter 676: Wait and See What Happens (Two in One)
"Let's go, I'll send you back. Zhang Chen held Su Zhuorui's slender waist and said softly.
Su Zhuorui didn't know if she had drunk too much or some other reason, she was very flustered, and forced herself to calm down: "No need, I'm here with Solina, she will send me." Moreover, it is not good to leave the table early on this occasion. β
Zhang Chen pondered for a moment: "Okay, pay more attention to yourself, don't drink anymore." β
Su Zhuorui nodded indiscriminately, seeing that Zhang Chen was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly the ghost screamed: "Hey." β
As soon as Zhang Chen turned around, Su Zhuorui said hesitantly: "Just γγγγγ Thank you, you won't have anything ... Trouble, huh?"
Zhang Chen smiled: "Don't worry, it's them who are in trouble." β
Su Zhuorui only felt that her face was burning badly, and sighed twice, but saw Zhang Chen's gaze fall between her neck, revealing a knowing smile.
Su Zhuorui subconsciously touched her neck, ah, necklace.
Zhang Chen squeezed his eyes at Su Zhuorui, returned to his table, and continued to whisper with Wen Hangsheng.
"Huh, isn't this Zack? He's here too? What about Liu Sheng and them?" Zou Kaixuan also returned to his seat, just in time to see Zhang Chen turn around and leave.
The Lishi Hall is 600 square meters, which is the largest banquet hall on the peninsula, and in this 600 square meters, there are more than 200 guests scattered around, plus waiters and staff, and there are more than 300 people in the hall.
Su Zhuorui said: "Oh, I just saw him, Liu Sheng and they may have something, so go back first." β
Zou Kaixuan sighed, "Why is your face so red? You drank too much, do you want me to let the driver send you back in advance?"
Su Zhuorui hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, that's too rude, it's okay." β
Zou Kaixuan looked at Su Zhuorui suspiciously, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Ah, by the way, Solina, Sir Shao is already so old, why do you want to get married?" Su Zhuorui hurriedly changed the topic, and she had only been in Xiangjiang for a short time, so she really didn't know much about the lace news of these rich people.
Zou Kaixuan looked at Fang Yihua, who was supporting Shao Yifu in the distance, and smiled with satisfaction: "Miss Fang has not been easy these years, and it can be regarded as a bright moon." She followed her sixth uncle when she was a teenager, and she has been with her for more than 40 years. The sixth uncle didn't ask about TVB and Shaw Brothers for a long time, and she was supporting it alone. For so many years, she has not been given an official name. In the past, when Xiangjiang allowed concubines, there was still a concubine status, but later even this title was gone. After the death of the sixth uncle's original wife, he waited for many years to marry the sixth uncle in Las Vegas. β
What the hell? There are still concubines in this era?
Zou Kaixuan explained: "Before the 70s, the Chinese people in Xiangjiang still practiced the Great Qing Law, and the Great Qing Law allowed concubines. It was only in the seventy-first year that Xiangjiang officially implemented monogamy. Although the law does not apply retroactively, the sixth uncle is a public figure and nominally a believer, so he has never recognized Miss Fang's status as a concubine. Now it's okay, I can give Miss Fang an explanation in the year of Mackerel's back, and it is not in vain that Miss Fang has waited for so many years. β
Su Zhuorui saw that there was a faint look of envy in Zou Kaixuan's eyes, and suddenly thought of the relationship between her and Li Chaoren, and couldn't help but sigh.
Zou Kaixuan quickly cleaned up his mood and said lightly: "Actually, I think that if you can be with the person you really love, get married or not, it doesn't matter if you have this ceremony or not, as long as this person has you in his heart, he will be happy." β
Su Zhuorui said tentatively: "That... Li Sheng's wife has also passed away for so many years, and he didn't propose to you, don't you regret it?"
Zou Kaixuan was stunned for a moment, Su Zhuorui knew that she was a little gaffe after drinking, and hurriedly apologized: "Solina, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked... β
Zou Kaixuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Irene, let me ask you a question, what do you think is the root of marriage?
Su Zhuorui didn't understand what Zou Kaixuan meant, and frowned slightly: "Of course marriage needs love, if a marriage is not love at all, then this marriage is too sad." β
Zou Kaixuan shook his head slightly: "When I was studying in the UK, I once talked to an anthropology professor about the origin of the marriage system. More than a million years ago, human beings appeared in this world, but do you know how long the history of the institution of marriage is?"
Zou Kaixuan asked and replied: "Less than 20,000 years. β
In other words, the institution of marriage has not been with mankind for even one-fiftieth of the time. 20,000 years ago, human beings were still gathering societies, and various tribes mainly relied on gathering to survive, and there was no fixed residence, so there was no stable marriage system. It was not until human beings entered the agrarian civilization and were fixed by the land that the institution of marriage in the true sense was produced for the first time. β
"If people want to survive, the first thing to solve is food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the agrarian civilization, because people were bound by the land, there was naturally no problem of walking. As for housing, it is the people of the entire tribe or city-state who come together to figure out a way, and the things that everyone has to solve become food and clothing. Because of the physical superiority of men, men naturally had an advantage in agricultural production, so they had more land and resources, while women played an advantage in areas such as weaving and raising silkworms, which required care and patience. Men and women weave, respectively, solve the most important food and clothing. But if there is only one, it will not survive, so the fixed union of man and woman naturally arises at this time, and the first institution of marriage is born. β
Therefore, marriage fundamentally has nothing to do with love, but is based on the need to survive and reproduce. When the pressure to survive and reproduce is gone, the stability of the institution of marriage is threatened. You see, the divorce rate is already very high now, and it is getting higher every year, and the average age of marriage is getting later every year. It is because agricultural civilization has been replaced by industrial civilization and information civilization, human survival is no longer bound by the land, and a person can live well, and the necessity of marriage is weakened. β
Zou Kaixuan continued: "The marriage system was born with the birth of agricultural civilization, and it may also change or die out because of the change of civilization, nothing is eternal. Marriage is not, and neither is love. Therefore, it is wrong to pursue the longevity of love at the expense of marriage. All we can do is to enjoy the beauty of love while love is still there, and every minute and every second of time with the person we love. β
"Grasp what you can grasp and pursue what you want most in your heart, I think this is the meaning of life. β
Su Zhuorui looked at Zou Kaixuan, who was shining with light in his eyes, and stammered: "Solina, you, you... β
Zou Kaixuan suddenly grimaced: "Haha, I'm scared, right? People live in the world, if they can really be so detached, they will become immortals. All people are ordinary people, and they have worldly troubles. The more you think about it, the more troubles you have. Look, Debbie is over there, let's get her a drink or two. β

"Mr. Zhang, this time you can support Hua'an regardless of your past suspicions, and Hua'an is deeply ashamed. I can guarantee that there will be no similar problems after that. "Wen Hangsheng is thirty-eight or nine years old, 1.85 meters tall, and dignified. After graduating from graduate school, he worked in the People's Bank of China and the China Securities Regulatory Commission for a long time, and was later transferred to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. After Huang Zhan's accident, he naturally came to Hong Kong to take over Hua'an.
Wen Hangsheng is the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and he was born in a small southern city. Both parents are workers, and they have been able to get to where they are today because of their own talent and hard work, so they also attach great importance to every opportunity they have.
He knows that taking over Huaan is both an opportunity and a challenge. It sounds cheesy, but that's what it is. Now the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia has fully evolved into the Asian financial crisis, and the form of Xiangjiang is even more precarious. If Huaan can play its part in this crisis and win this war with international speculators. As the president of Huaan, even if he really stands out among many strong competitors and enters the eyes of the upper echelons, the future is self-evident.
And if he loses, Huang Zhan's fate will be a lesson from the past.
No, no matter what, Huang Zhan at least has family forces to support him. If you lose, it means that your career is completely over, and at that time, there may only be one way to go to the sea.
Therefore, he cherished this opportunity doubly. Since there is no way out, there is only a wreck. Just a week after taking over Hua'an, he made drastic reforms to Hua'an, and completely cleaned up Huang Zhan's lineage in Hua'an. He also found a group of graduates from his alma mater, the National People's Congress and the local University of Hong Kong, who had little experience but had high comprehensive quality.
With these student soldiers alone, they will definitely not be able to do the international speculators. Now that the situation has become clear, Druckenmiller publicly declared on the BBC that Xiangjiang will be defeated, and everyone already knows that he is the specific executor of the war in Xiangjiang, which is the international speculators.
Wen Hangsheng did a lot of research on Druckenmiller and knew that he was no match at all. Then, the only thing that can be counted on is Zhang Chen, who has a falling out with Huang Zhan.
After all, this system model is recognized, and this model is designed by Zhang Chen's team, if you want to give full play to the maximum power of this model, who else can there be besides the designer of the model?
Under Liu Yunkai's recommendation, Wen Hangsheng established contact with Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen's attitude was also very clear, asking him to provide people, yes, provide funds, and yes. However, Huaan and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange must give him the greatest authority, as long as he does not violate the financial management policy and relevant laws, he has full control over the market until the battle with international speculators is over.
Of course, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange and the People's Bank of China can send regulatory auditors to Hua'an, but they do not have any management power, and after discovering problems, they will form memoranda and reports and report to the authorities.
After listening to Wen Hangsheng's words, Zhang Chen said politely: "Mr. Wen is serious, as a son and daughter of China, this is what should be done." Although there were some misunderstandings before, they have all been resolved. As a matter of urgency, let's discuss how to deal with the next attack of international speculators. β
Wen Hangsheng nodded again and again: "Of course, of course." I don't know when the experts on Mr. Zhang's side will be in place? I think let them get in touch with Hua'an in advance, and after everyone gets acquainted with each other, the cooperation will be smoother. β
Zhang Chen shook his head slightly: "No, as long as Hua'an opens all permissions to them." Hua'an people have many eyes, this battle cannot be lost, Hua'an people only need to carry out their specific operational instructions. In a battle of this nature, you don't necessarily need to meet to cooperate, and the fewer people you know, the better. β
Wen Hangsheng nodded silently: "Then what is our first step?"
A smile appeared on Zhang Chen's face: "Wait." β
The second monk Wen Hangsheng was puzzled: "Wait, what are you waiting for?"
Zhang Chen gently spit out three words from his mouth: "Rakshasa." β
Although Zhang Chen had previously talked to Yang Zhuping about Hua'an's intervention in Rakshasa, he was vetoed by Yang Zhuping because it was related to diplomacy and the basic line of making a fortune in silence. But the Rakshasa problem is hard to return, and what should happen will definitely happen. Since Hua'an couldn't intervene because of his background, Zhang Chen himself was unwilling to give up such an opportunity.
Every economic crisis, for newcomers, is a good opportunity to double or even multiply wealth, but the economic crisis only occurs once in a few years, and if you miss this time, you will have to wait until the subprime mortgage crisis in 08.
Wen Hangsheng naturally didn't know this kind of upper-level secret, and when he heard Zhang Chen say the name Rakshasa, he didn't understand what was going on at all.
Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Wen, it's not that I don't believe you, but the stakes are high, and I am not 100% sure, wait." When news comes from the Rakshasa side, it's time for the real decisive battle!"
Wen Hangsheng was able to sit in this position at such a young age, in addition to having a high IQ and a higher EQ, he did not feel the slightest displeasure, and still smiled: "I understand, my side will also pay attention to the situation of Rakshasa at any time." I will send the cleanest and most trustworthy person to connect with your team, and you can rest assured that in this regard, we have applied for support from the national security and internal security departments to ensure that not a single fly can fly in. β
At this time, the banquet was nearing the end, and the guests had already said goodbye one after another, Zhang Chen stood up, looked around, and found that Su Zhuorui had also disappeared, Li Entai said hello to himself, made an appointment, and left with his bodyguards.
After Zhang Chen and Mr. and Mrs. Shaw apologized again and said goodbye, they took the elevator to the lobby.
He drove himself, and one of the three Ferrari F550s he bought was shipped directly to Xiangjiang. He has been driving on his own for the past few days, and at first he was a little unaccustomed to right-hand drive, but within two days he got used to it.
The hotel concierge drove Zhang Chen's car to the door, opened the umbrella, and Zhang Chen was just about to walk out of the door, but saw a familiar back under the porch.
"Sister Su, why are you here? Didn't you go back with Miss Zou?"
Spit out three words is not a clerical error.
Some people say that the author didn't write about how Huang Zhan fell, and I want to write it too, this is a good conflict point, you should also see it, whether it is the foreshadowing or the original outline, this paragraph is also designed as a breaking point. But now ... I guess you won't be able to see this book if you write itγγγγγγ
This book is even slower, the author is busy and lazy on the one hand, on the other hand, the outline is changing back and forth, the scale is getting tighter and tighter, and you need to constantly adjust your thinking. The author is a rookie writer.,I've never faced this situation.,This article is not a pure and cool white article.,Can't be brainless.,Thinking about how to change the plot in the next step is also an important reason for the lack of update.γ
