The "mansion" on the top of Taiping Peak is inhabited by the whole family of my brother-in-law Liu Siwei.

Zhang Lin, who had just returned from Germany, naturally did not go to join in the excitement, but lived in the room on the 5th floor of NB Electrician with Charter and Xia Yao.

During the day, I took my brother's car to the Clear Water Bay Peninsula to visit You Shaojun, who had just entered the famous teacher's door and was engaged in postdoctoral research, went back to the NB electrician headquarters in the afternoon to go shopping with Xia Yao, who had just gotten off work from the NB Charity Foundation, and went back to the beach villa in the Special Administrative Region to accompany my grandmother and mother on Saturday and Sunday.

The little life was so happy that she almost forgot that she was still studying for an MBA.

The man who focuses on research is the most attractive, and from noon to now, her eyes have hardly taken off her sweetheart who is busy in front of a pile of bottles and cans.

As soon as she returned to Hong Kong, she generously provided $350 for nucleic acid research projects, and became the third largest shareholder of some companies in NB Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

For her assistant's girlfriend and business partner, Professor Smith, deputy director of the Chemical Research Center of NB Laboratory, chief chemist of NB Medical, and the second largest shareholder of NB Biopharmaceutical, was very welcome, pointed to a row of large and small test tubes of different shapes on the shelf and asked with a smile: "Miss Zhang, do you want to try it?" ”

Zhang Lin shook his head again and again, "Doctor, I think I'll just make trouble for you." ”

"Chemistry is actually very simple, and it's very interesting."

"I'm convinced of that."

Professor Smith was about to say something when Dr. Mullis showed up at the door, pointing his right hand at the watch on his left wrist and reminding, "Man." It's time to go. ”

Professor Smith reacted. said apologetically, "Miss Zhang." I'm sorry, but I have some things to take care of. ”

As if I didn't know that you were going fishing, Zhang Lin felt very funny, and said casually: "Doctor, leave me alone, you can be busy." ”

"Alright then, see you tomorrow."

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Zhang Lin wanted to see if the charter was not doing its job. He knocked on the glass of the partition and made a gesture to go upstairs to the inside. You Shaojun smiled and nodded, motioning for her to go.

Boss Zhang didn't go fishing, which surprised her, closed the door and asked with a smile: "San'er, why are you so peaceful today?" ”

"It is said that women in love are idiots, it seems that there is nothing wrong at all, what day of the week have you forgotten?"

Zhang Lin slapped his forehead and said regretfully: "Today is Friday, I really forgot." Luckily, there were still two hours before the end of work, and it was still too late to go back and pack up. ”

The charter gave her a roll of the eye. Picked up the newspaper and said while reading: "Don't toss, I called Xia Yao, and she will help you clean up." ”

"What about brother-in-law and eldest sister?"

"The day after tomorrow, when I go to sweep the grave, their whole family goes."

The Xia family went, the Liu family went, the Ding family, the Chen family, and even Master Wang Yuanzheng and Gu Xinyuan's political commissar went, Zhang Lin felt very uncomfortable, sat down beside him and said without saying anything: "San'er, or ...... Or...... I'll ask Shaojun if his parents have time. ”

The charter was ridiculed, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Second sister, this is a tomb sweep, not a tour, and there is something special about petitioning." ”

Liu Siwei's father and Xia Yao's father went to sweep the grave of their in-laws, Ding Aiguo, Chen Zhenghuai, Wang Yuanzheng and Gu Xinyuan went to worship their comrades-in-arms who were buried underground, and the juniors went to worship their elders.

Zhang Lin pondered for a moment, and suddenly said confidently: "Before I get married, the whole family will also go to visit the tomb once. ”

The charter put down the newspaper and joked: "Xia Yao and I went to sweep the tomb to do our filial piety, and it was gambling for you to go to sweep the tomb, which is not good, if you let Dad know, you have to ask me to say a few words to you." ”

"You're filial, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"

Seeing that she was about to pinch, the charter immediately turned right: "Be serious, this is a laboratory, not at home, believe it or not, I won't let you in tomorrow." ”

Zhang Lin didn't eat his set, he still pinched it, gritted his teeth and said, "You dare!" ”

"Okay, okay, I don't dare to do it."

The charter grinned in pain, hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to the newspaper on the table and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince has shown the citizens of Hong Kong what it means to be a local tyrant, but his limelight will soon be overshadowed by another person, look at it, it's very interesting." ”

A huge headline in bold on the front page of the newspaper: "I made a billion dollars in profit due to the collapse of the pound"! Below is a photo of Soros, smiling and holding a wine glass, with the following caption: "International investors made nearly $1 billion from last month's currency crisis."

Black Wednesday has left the UK in the midst of a sterling crisis and forced to withdraw from the currency exchange rate mechanism. The winner, Soros is laughing; The losers, Major and Lemmon admit defeat in frustration.

In the feast that just ended, Soros was not the only one who gained huge benefits. For example, the two big winners who have been confirmed, Bruce Kavanagh and Paul Johns, received $300 million and $250 million, respectively.

For example, companies that are in charge of Bank of America due to huge foreign exchange transactions can be seen from the third-quarter earnings reports disclosed by Morgan Bank and Chemical Bank, and their monthly profits in currencies are more than $800 million, far exceeding their usual quarterly profits in currency trading.

Not to mention those unknown hedge funds, NB Electric is one of them, as a participant in this incident, Zhang Linle picked up the newspaper and said with a smile: "It seems that the British media is very uncomfortable with the loss of Britain and wants to find a scapegoat, and this one who took the initiative to jump out is obviously a convenient one." ”

"He really deserves to be happy, $1 billion, where to make it!"

The three funds she supervised in Frankfurt alone made a profit of more than $340 million in the pound crisis, Zhang Lin couldn't help but smile and asked: "San'er, to be honest with my sister, how much money did you make this time, including us personally?" ”

The charter calculated for a moment and said lightly: "The British stock holdings are still rising, and we will not have an exact number until the end of the year." But by no means less than this one in the newspapers. After all, except for the pound. We also made a few Finnish marks, Spanish pesos and Italian lira trades. In addition, as early as three years ago, he began to borrow pounds from banks. ”

Everyone wants to know who the one who launched the pound is the one who launched the shock on the pound.

From the moment the news of Soros's impact on the pound was announced, he became famous all over the world as "the man who brought down the Bank of England." But people forget that he did not actually destroy the Bank of England, but only consumed a small part of the wealth accumulated by the Bank of England.

After reading the newspaper, Zhang Lin couldn't help laughing: "I can't believe that for most Britons, Soros has actually become a hero." ”

As she said, there is no such thing as xenophobia in the UK, as people think of it. The British public even said, in the traditional British way, "Bless him, if he gets a billion dollars from our stupid government, he's a billionaire." ”

Statute nodded slightly, pointed to the newspaper report, and said: "I was very touched by his words, 'I will not regret profiting from the depreciation of the pound.'" As it happened, the depreciation of the pound proved to be beneficial. But my point is: I'm not helping Britain by speculating on the pound, I'm not hurting the UK, I'm just making money. ’

Truly, we also have to have this awareness. After all, the core responsibility of a company is to pursue efficiency and profitability and maximize the value of its assets. Its position must be correct.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, every day is a harsh war, responsible managers must defend the interests of enterprises and shareholders, rack their brains, exhaustion, to endless open source and reduce expenditure, to constantly carry out scientific and technological renewal and investment growth, may not be able to create many jobs, market competition and social responsibility is almost difficult to balance. ”

Zhang Lin thought so, looked at the sea view outside the window and sighed: "Our professor also said that if an entrepreneur bears too much moral responsibility, then his business is not far from going bankrupt."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of enthusiastic cheers outside. Looking back, I saw the researchers running from their respective laboratories to the elevator.

"The Far Hope is back."

"In the next six months, it will be moored at Pier 6 and open to the public, and the sixteen laboratories on the ship can do more than 300 experiments, which will definitely be of interest to children." ”

Zhang Lin leaned on the door and asked, "People have come back from the North Pole, why don't you go and greet them?" ”

"The four buses downstairs are there to greet my colleagues, and they will be greeted like heroes, and in the next week, there will be all kinds of activities, and I don't want to join in the excitement and wait for everyone else to welcome them, and then invite them to a meal."

Hong Kong's first polar expedition in history, and even reaching the legendary North Pole, can imagine what kind of welcome it will receive. If nothing else, there will be at least 100 media reporters on the wharf, as well as representatives of more than a dozen units and schools participating in the scientific expedition, such as the Observatory, the University of Hong Kong, the University of Science and Technology, and the CUHK, and it is even possible that the Governor will personally greet them.

Zhang Lin reacted and said with a smile: "The honor belongs to them, and it is indeed not appropriate for you to go." ”

"I originally wanted to participate in next year's Antarctic scientific expedition, but after thinking about it, I gave up, first, it was meaningless for me to go, and it would turn a very serious scientific expedition into a tour; Second, I want to be a good father, and I can't leave the baby to play by myself like my brother-in-law. ”

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then asked ecstatically: "Xia Yao has it?" ”

"Well," the charter nodded his head and confirmed meaningfully, "I found that what my brother-in-law said in the car that day was very reasonable, and Xia Yao also thought that the baby should not be allowed to have an old man's father and an old woman's mother when he was in junior high school. ”

"Just had?"

"I only found out yesterday, and I used test strips, and I don't know if it's accurate."

Zhang Lin was anxious: "Then why don't you go to the hospital to see?" ”

The charter shook his head and smiled: "Isn't this about to get married, Xia Yao doesn't want to make a fuss and let everyone know that she is pregnant before marriage." If it weren't for my own sister, I wouldn't have told you. ”

"So you still want to hide it from your mother?"

"It's just a few days, she's been waiting for a few years, and she can't wait for a few days?"

Thinking that Xia Yao was a traditional woman, Zhang Lin said with a wicked smile: "Okay, I'll help you keep it secret." ”

The charter raised his eyebrows and said matter-of-factly: "Confidentiality is deserved, the key is why did I tell you?" Second sister, the little tourist is good. Professor Smith and Dr. Mullis expected a lot from him. There is definitely a future in the future. That's pretty much it. Don't put it off any longer, it's boring. ”

"Xiaoyou is also called by you?"

Zhang Lin asked rhetorically, and smiled knowingly: "You don't care about my affairs with him, do you know that when you get to that point, you will naturally get married, and you don't need to urge." ”

One is thirty, the other is twenty-five, and he still looks like his first love at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It's time to say it all. The charter did not dwell on this issue anymore.

At half past four in the afternoon, Xia Yao and the female bodyguard Magdalena arrived downstairs in the laboratory on time.

Liu Siwei's family went directly from the top of Taiping Mountain, there was no need for you to wait for me, I waited for him, the two called Shang Shaojun, and returned to the beach villa under the escort of six bodyguards.

As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw that the uninvited guest had come again. Yao was very happy, and chatted hotly as soon as he saw Tengxi, vice president of Xingda Trading Co., Ltd.

"Jiahui, tell my uncle, what did the teacher teach today?"

The little nephew, who was studying the toy, looked up and said impatiently, "Why do you ask this question?" I've answered them all three times today! ”

didn't give any face, and everyone immediately burst into laughter. The charter touched his nose and said stupidly, "Which of you asked?" ”

Ding Wenming, who has been busy for nearly a year, and is on vacation during this time, hugged his son and smiled: "I asked." ”

Wu Xiaolian raised her right hand in embarrassment: "I also asked." ”

"And grandma," Xiao Jiahui pointed to Wu Xiulan, who was smiling, as if she had been wronged, and said, "I obviously told her that I didn't understand, but she still asked, don't you be so annoying, okay?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, don't ask again in the future, if you want to ask, change the question, come, let my uncle hug me, see if I have grown meat this week."

"Don't get used to him," Liu Siwei glanced at Tengxi, who was chatting with Xia Yao, and said in a low voice: "People come all the way from BJ, there must be something." ”

Is there anything you can't call, but I ran to someone's house, and I scolded secretly, and said casually: "Okay, I'll ask her." ”

Xia Yao also realized that now was not the time to whisper, so he said hello to his grandmother, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, and invited Tengxi to the second floor with Wu Xiaolian.

To the surprise of the charter, President Tengda took out a word that was not even expressed from his bag, and said as if offering a treasure: "Mr. Zhang, you and Xia Yao are about to get married, you look down on giving money, and you can't do anything else, so I simply asked my old man to write a word, wishing you to grow old together and tie the knot forever." ”

The charter spread out the rice paper and glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Mr. Teng, can you tell me what kind of body this is?" ”

The old man's handwriting is really not very good, but he still likes to write.

Tengxi was not surprised when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Tengti, the old man created it himself, as for whether it has artistic value, I don't know, but there is still a little collection value." Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light, no matter how you say it, it is also his heart, you will just look at it. ”

"Wife, collect it well, maybe it will be sold for three or five thousand in the future."

The charter threw the words aside, beckoned her to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Teng, Xingda's business is so busy, you have a special trip every day, shouldn't you really send this word?" ”

"Of course not."

Tengxi's face was straight, and he said very seriously: "You go to Changshan Cemetery to sweep Uncle Zhang's grave, I am a child of the Jiangnan Military Region and Uncle Zhang's junior, of course I want to go with you." Before coming, the old man also made a special call to the Xiguang Provincial Military Region, and they will provide us with all convenience. ”

The charter lowered his head and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

"No thanks, Uncle Zhang is a hero, this is what we should do."

This topic is too heavy, and the charter asked curiously: "Mr. Teng, how is Xingda's business development, and what help do you need from us?" ”

NB Medical's sales business in China is not a gradual handover, but a clean one-size-fits-all. All the personnel engaged in the sales of therapeutic equipment in the front line have all become Xingda employees overnight. Then, according to the progress of Xingda's development of secondary agents and tertiary agents, the former employees were recalled to NB Electric Group (China) Company.

The "special" departments to be set up in the plan are also all incorporated into Xingda International Trade Co., Ltd., sales and promotion are all spun off, and NB Medical will only be responsible for after-sales service in the future.

NB Electric thinks that things that will bring political risks and moral hazards are normal at home, and Tengxi does not see her as a scapegoat. Moreover, Song Jia, the vice president of BJ's China company, thought very thoughtfully and helped Xingda hire a Hong Kong president who almost never did anything, and even if something really happened, she was just a part-time worker.

10% of the sales profit, remove all the expenses can earn at least 20 million a year, it is simply to send money to yourself, as soon as the business is mentioned, Tengxi smiled and said: "The orders of the army health system basically can't run, and the local health system has some competition, mainly concentrated in BJ and Hujiang several big cities, but now the development of the four secondary agents is quite effective, and they have grabbed more than a dozen orders from CE and Dongmenzi." ”

It is expected that this can be done with the support of the above.

The charter nodded slightly, and said step by step: "Mr. Teng, the current business is easy to do, to a large extent, it has a lot to do with the backwardness of the domestic economy. In another year or two, with the development of the economy, there will be more and more hospitals with large-scale medical imaging diagnostic equipment in demand. CT and CR will inevitably become the standard configuration of county-level hospitals, and the market is large, and the competition will inevitably be more intense, so it is inevitable to take care of one and lose the other, so we must be mentally prepared in this regard now. ”

The market is good, there is a market to make money, Tengxi swore and said: "Mr. Zhang, as long as the equipment can be supplied, there will be no problem on our side." (To be continued......)
