Chapter 455, come and don't be rude
"Let's talk about it when you make money."
In the worried eyes of Brao, many years said with a smile.
He doesn't really care about money.
What matters is the attitude of Frank and the rest of the people, and the stability of the Somali side.
Then, for many years, I told them about the next investment behavior, and nothing else mattered.
It is important that the oil or petroleum products that are bought back must be kept well and not taken away.
After all, the oil crisis is a big deal, and the Middle East is so chaotic at that time.
In Somalia, so much oil has been purchased, and the armed forces are average.
Isn't this just a child shopping with gold ingots?
At that time, there will definitely be people who can't resist the temptation and want to make a move.
Therefore, the key is to keep the home and the oil.
Buao and the others also became serious, this is a big deal.
They used to be pirates, but they just had to rob others.
Now it's because they have money, so they have to do a good job of defense, so as not to be stolen.
After being advised, he left Somalia this time for many years.
After returning to Hong Kong Island, Rolls-Royce Group, Shinhwa Capital, Huimin Supermarket, etc., also continued to increase investment, striving to make a lot of money in the next oil crisis.
In the office, Wen Hongwen was a little worried: there was not enough money.
Mythical Capital has many accounts with a total capital of more than 6 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Ran goose, all this money has been invested, but according to the boss's order, it is still not enough money.
If you want to maximize your profits and can't increase leverage, you can only find a bank loan.
For many years, the oil crisis has not only wanted to make a lot of money in the stock market and futures market, but also in the real economy.
So, Wen Hongwen reported the matter to many years, and after the latter groaned, he agreed.
It's just that he didn't let Wen Hongwen directly go to Universal Universe Bank for a loan.
Mainly because Universal Universe Bank doesn't have that much cash to lend.
And it doesn't fit either.
Using other people's money to make money for yourself is the best way.
So, Wen Hongwen found HSBC.
On Hong Kong Island, the richest bank should be HSBC.
However, Wen Hongwen met with Shen Bi, the general manager of HSBC, who hoped to meet for many years.
After hearing that it was Shen Bi, he was also very surprised for many years.
Isn't this the future HSBC senior?
So he agreed.
A high-end Cantonese restaurant in Central, Shen Bi has set a table here and invited him to eat for many years.
A total of three people ate together, and Wen Hongwen accompanied him.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Shen Bi said with a smile:
"Mr. Xu, today's dish, is it okay?"
"It's very good, I didn't expect your Chinese level to be so good, Mr. Shen, and you like Chinese food so much."
"Haha, Chinese culture has a long history, it is very charming, and it attracts me very much"
Shen Bi praised himself, and then praised himself, and then stepped into the topic.
The reason why I want to see him for many years is naturally not that I feel that many years are dragons and phoenixes among people, but that I hope to meet Michael.
HSBC has a lot of business, but the Rolls-Royce Group has more.
And now on Hong Kong Island, the Rolls-Royce Group is the real giant, and HSBC can only seek new development if it wants to continue to break through.
"Hey, I have the impression that the Rolls-Royce Group should have business with your HSBC bank, right?"
For many years, he didn't respond to the other party, but asked in surprise.
Although Michael is his vest, the partnership between HSBC and Rolls-Royce is no secret.
As the founder of many enterprises such as Huimin Supermarket and Yaya Toy Factory, isn't it normal to pay attention to these economic phenomena for many years?
So he wasn't afraid that Shen Bi would find anything.
When Shen Bi heard this, he said bitterly:
"It's just a very superficial and one-sided partnership, and it's the people below who are in charge of it."
Then he gritted his teeth and said:
"Mr. Xu, if you promise to help me thread the needle, then on behalf of HSBC, I will reduce the interest rate by five points on this loan."
It's quite generous!
Many years laughed happily, but said disapprerovitically:
"Actually, in terms of loans, I don't care if the interest is not interest, the key is that I still want to know what Mr. Shen are you going to negotiate with Michael?"
"This, in fact, is just cooperation."
Shen Bi was embarrassed for a moment, but still didn't tell his true purpose.
In this case, many years have to say that tonight's meal is good, and I am very grateful for the hospitality.
Hearing this euphemistic refusal, Shen Bi was stunned at that time.
After coming back to his senses, he immediately got up and stopped for many years, and once again conceded five points.
Wen Hongwen, who had been silent next to him, couldn't help but give a look for many years.
If it is lowered by five points, then the interest on this loan can be said to be very, very small.
You must know that this time, the total amount of the loan from Mythical Capital is one billion US dollars, which is about 5.6 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Such a huge amount of money is almost equivalent to the cash currently held by Mythical Capital.
Naturally, HSBC is not stupid, how can it lend so much without collateral?
Banks are not charities, and people have to eat.
In this case, many years ago he first agreed, and then said that it was okay to wait for him to inform him.
A few days later, Shen Bi received a call for many years.
Then Shen Bi couldn't wait to come to an office building on the side of Xintiandi Plaza, which is one of the industries of the Rolls-Royce Group and one of the places where Michael usually works.
For many years, they were waiting for each other in the reception room, and there was a man next to Sanders.
Sanders is one of the members of the boss's secretary team at the R&D center, and he is no stranger to the boss's friend for many years.
After meeting, Shen Bi was asked to wait in the reception room for many years, and Michael was called away by an emergency call just now, so he had to wait.
After a while, many years ago, under the pretext of going to the bathroom, left.
And then Michael showed up.
Shen Bi didn't think about it so much, and even communicated with Michael excitedly.
After some exchanges, I learned many years ago that Shen Bi wanted Rolls-Royce Group to hand over part of the deposit business to HSBC, as well as the financial work of some branches, etc., to HSBC.
In return, HSBC will give interest in excess of what is available in the market.
Tut!
The bank asked for money from the private company Rolls-Royce, why does this sound so mysterious?
Not to mention, HSBC has money in this period of time, but it can't stand up to a big family and a big business, and there are many places to spend money.
Since the beginning of this year, Hong Kong Island's economy has been volatile, especially in the property sector, which has continued to be sluggish.
Because house prices have fallen again.
Although it has not yet reached its lowest point, the economic situation is no longer optimistic.
Everywhere is borrowing money, and HSBC is also in a hurry.
On the contrary, the Rolls-Royce Group of companies has too many cash cows.
Not to mention the first half of the year, Rolls-Royce Group's main civil aviation passenger aircraft sold 30 units, and the return of funds exceeded 600 million US dollars.
Even the automobile business sector, financial investment sector, film record sector, etc., also have very amazing revenue.
Polygram Records Group, the major shareholder is Rolls-Royce Group, and the minority shareholders are Yaya Toy Factory, Mythical Capital, etc.
Since the acquisition of PolyGram in 1968, the company has grown rapidly.
Not only did it continue to work in the record industry, but after selling Philips' original products, PolyGram also entered Hollywood and invested in films.
For example, in recent years, Bruce Lee, the hottest player in the world, is an actor under Polygram.
The word Kung Fu has been mentioned many times by many foreign media and has become a word in the dictionary, just around the corner.
Many movies such as Raptors Crossing the River, Jingwu Heroes, and Hurricane Rescue have been released one after another, just in the past June and July, Bruce Lee's movies alone have been released twice, and the box office has broken records.
The global box office of the two movies has exceeded 780 million US dollars.
Although this part of the money has to be distributed to movie theaters and actors, etc., Polygram makes no small amount of money.
Therefore, the revenue of the film record segment is also a large segment of the Rolls-Royce Group.
With such a brilliant performance, it is impossible for HSBC to ignore it.
After listening to Shen Bi's words for many years, I suddenly wanted to laugh.
Although Rolls-Royce is rich, most of its business is handled by Universal Universe Bank.
Hover?
He was afraid that the other party would lose his money.
However, since the other party has come to the door, cooperation is certain, but it is not such a way of cooperation.
HSBC is not without money, it just wants someone to fight the risk together.
From the beginning of the 50s, to the 60s, and now the 70s, the economy of Hong Kong Island has been up and down.
Although on the whole, Hong Kong Island's economy is in an upward phase.
However, at certain times, the economy always falls, which is frightening.
For example, the current Hong Kong Island, since the end of last year, after the stock market entered its peak, quickly declined.
The Hang Seng Index is like diving, all the way down, and it is falling endlessly.
The building jumping incident in the middle of last year has also continued this year.
This is not a movie, but a real thing, and the citizens of Hong Kong Island are terrified.
As a result, many people are afraid to invest in the stock market anymore.
The same is true for house prices, which have almost fallen below the level of six or six years as they go all the way down.
This is a frightening economic crisis, who is not afraid?
Of course, many years are not afraid.
That's why he agreed to cooperate with Shen Bi and continue to work on some big projects.
Needless to say, HSBC is worthy of being a big bank on Hong Kong Island, and its connections and resources are really not comparable to Global Universe Bank.
After all this work, I didn't go out for many years.
Stay at home to accompany your wife and children, and occasionally pay attention to the operation of those companies, that's it.
As a boss, I have known how to enjoy myself for many years.
Otherwise, what is the purpose of making so much money?
Don't forget your original intention and keep your mission in mind!
The original intention of making money is naturally to enjoy life better.
Instead of being dominated by the purpose of making money all the time, forgetting the meaning of life.
Time is like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of the school season in September.
"Our first college student is going to school."
Villa No. 72 in Deep Water Bay, Qin Huairu looked at Xiao Budian who was about to report to the University of Hong Kong with a smile, and said.
On the side, Xiaodou wrapped several of their children, with envious expressions on their faces.
The children born to the same parents are so different, and the children born to different parents are even more different.
"Xiao Doubao, Xiao Tuanzi, let me confirm with you again, you are also going to be in the third year of high school this semester, right?"
At the door of the house, many years looked at the two little guys with a serious and serious expression, and asked word by word.
Twins born in 59, they are 14 years old this year.
Now they are more than 1.7 meters tall, which is even taller than their mother.
Qin Huairu's height is one meter six or eight, which is not short among women.
But in front of the two daughters, it is still not enough to see.
"Well, Dad, I'm sure!"
Both children nodded and agreed, they want to be in their third year of high school and take the college entrance examination next year.
They don't want to be left behind.
Bai Tofu rolled her eyes, she still read step by step, not to be special.
Well, she's special enough.
As a star writer, every time I go to class, I will always be watched by my classmates.
Although it has been a long time now, everyone has become accustomed to it.
But there are still some people who come to me from time to time to ask, such as when will the new record come out? Will you go to make a movie or something?
In 1973, Hong Kong Island was already relatively well developed.
In particular, the emergence of Bruce Lee, an international superstar, has made the citizens of Hong Kong Island even more proud.
After all, Bruce Lee is a native of Hong Kong Island, and he often moves around Hong Kong Island, and everyone regards him as their own.
is different from the original time and space, Bruce Lee in this time and space became famous in Polygram Company, and there are not so many smoky things.
As for the untimely death, it didn't happen.
Anyway, it's already September 73, and Bruce Lee is still alive and well, and he has been relieved for many years.
Brother Jing and Hot Wheels were silent, and even hid, hoping that their father would not see them.
Compared with the two sisters who are catching up, the two brothers Jing Ge'er are a bit of a laggard.
Lying flat seems to be synonymous with them.
I didn't bother to tell them this for many years, but I have already seen it, what do they like.
Forcing them to learn is counterproductive.
The Rolls-Royce car started slowly, and for many years, he and Qin Huairu drove their children to school separately.
HKU is located on Pok Fu Lam Road, close to the Sheung Wan area.
It's not far from Deep Water Bay, and Sassoon Road will be very close in the past.
At the school gate, for many years, the little ones were sent to the school to report.
The senior sister wearing the welcome work clothes, saw the father and son for many years, and walked over with a warm smile:
"Hello, are you a freshman who has come to report to HKU?"
"Yes, senior sister, I'm a freshman, and this is my admission letter."
Xiao Budian handed over the admission notice, and after the senior sister read it, she returned it and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll take you two brothers to the newspaper office to report."
Two brothers?
After hearing the words for many years, he smiled, but he helplessly explained:
"Senior sister, this is my dad, not my brother."
Yes?
The senior sister was stunned, because for many years, the father and son looked like two brothers, and there was no sense of disobedience.
The main reason is that he is too young for many years, and Xiao Budian's height is only about one meter six or seven, which looks a lot shorter than his father.
But I'm only thirteen years old, and my body is still developing.
"I'm sorry, you look so young, I thought you were two brothers."
"It's okay, it's not the first time." Many years hehehe.
While chatting, the three of them went to the newspaper office to report.
After the registration was over, Xiao Budian stayed in school.
He definitely doesn't live on campus, but in a villa on Sassoon Road, and on weekends or when he is homesick, he can go back to Deep Water Bay at any time.
Anyway, the distance from HKU to No. 72 Deep Water Bay, that is, seven or eight kilometers, is really close.
When I returned to Deep Water Bay Villa, I had already helped Brother Jing and Hot Wheels register for many years.
Then he chatted with Qin Huairu about being mistaken just now, but he didn't expect her to be the same.
"You don't know how surprised those teachers and parents were when they heard that we were mother and daughter."
Qin Huairu was in a very good mood, dancing and talking about what happened just now.
There are also small bean buns and small dumplings next to them from time to time, and this cheerful atmosphere makes Xu Yi, a child, can't help but jump, and especially wants to participate.
Over the years, Qin Huairu's face has not left any traces of time.
But the gentleness and maturity in the eyes are definitely not deceiving.
What's more, although Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi are taller, they are still too immature.
In addition, their slender bodies are clearly different from their mothers.
was just mistaken for sisters, not mother and daughter, which made Qin Huairu so excited that she couldn't find the north.
It's really interesting.
After the beginning of the school season, Xu Yi's child was also sent to kindergarten.
Unlike the previous three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, this time, she stayed in the kindergarten around the clock.
At noon, I went home for dinner.
Anyway, I sent it to the kindergarten and let her play with other kids of the same age.
As for learning these, it's just incidental.
She was still too young, and for many years she had only been taught simple initiation moves.
Anyway, the little bean buns they had before, Xu Yi will definitely not be less.
With the passage of time, October arrived.
Cairo and Damascus brazenly sent troops to Hebrew, and this part of the Middle East began to be chaotic again.
The love-hate relationship between Arabs and Jews can be said to have lasted for thousands of years.
Even in this era, or in the future of 2023, there is still no stop of turmoil.
For many years, I have been sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and I have already wielded a sickle, waiting for the arrival of the oil crisis.
Frank and Bulao in Somalia are also ready to go.
Now that war has broken out on this side of the Middle East, they can guess what will happen next.
Ran goose, now is not the time to sell oil, just wait slowly.
Soon, a group of Middle Eastern tycoons who used oil as a weapon began various restrictions, embargoes, and so on.
They all hoped to coerce the Bald Eagle and other Western countries to change the situation in Hebrew.
During the oil embargo during the war, international oil prices rose from $3 to $12 per barrel.
The rapid explosion of oil made Frank and others rejoice.
Many Western merchant ships that originally wanted to buy oil from the other side of the Gulf of Aden went to Somalia en masse this time to do so.
It's so interesting!
Somalia is not an oil-producing area, there is a fart oil?
But many people who know the inside story well, run to Somalia with their heads down, and then leave with a load of oil.
The international price of oil is $12 a barrel, but the Somali side sells it for only $11, which is a dollar cheaper.
It's still expensive, after all, it used to be three dollars a barrel.
But there is no way for everyone, who makes the whole world expensive now?
Compared to the chaos in the Middle East, there is also some chaos in Asia.
Mainly this place on Hong Kong Island.
In the past 10 months before October, Hong Kong Island has shipped more than $30 billion or 40 billion worth of oil from all over the world.
It is definitely the region with the highest growth rate of global oil imports this year, and there is no one.
Before such a crazy move, there were many economists, commercial spies, etc., who wanted to know the deep-seated reasons for this.
As a result, at this time, when Tokyo, Mindan, Seoul, Bay Island, and other places were frantically looking for cheap oil, Hong Kong Island struck.
At the price of eleven dollars, it is sold at a low price.
Hiss!
Only then did everyone understand that Hong Kong Island still had such foresight?
But whether to say it or not, this time, Hong Kong Island is really making money.
Since the end of '73, international oil prices have soared.
"Let's start the meeting."
In the office of a building in Central, Hong Kong Island, a meeting was held many years ago.
"Now that international oil prices are still rising, we must seize this opportunity to make money and sell a large amount of these oils."
"By February, it's all out, and we're going to need a lot of cash, you know?"
Wen Hongwen and the others all nodded.
They no longer have any objections to the boss's decision-making.
Follow the boss, that's it.
A large amount of oil spot is stored on Hong Kong Island, although the warehouse, labor, freight and so on for ten months are a lot of expenses.
However, at that time, they were buying in large quantities for less than $3.5 a barrel, plus shipping and so on.
Now, it's eleven dollars.
The difference in the middle is $7.5, which directly makes more than twice the profit.
More than twice the profit, it's not too strong.
Just like Mythical Capital, which invested 12 billion Hong Kong dollars before and after, after deducting the interest on the loan of 5.6 billion, it can still earn more than twice the profit.
Calculated to be more than 24 billion Hong Kong dollars.
This kind of capital feast is not a regular occurrence.
Other companies, such as Rolls-Royce Group, have also seen their profits soar rapidly.
In this wave, the financial investment sector within the group has finally raised its eyebrows.
Their earnings this time will definitely exceed the revenue of the previous civil aviation passenger aircraft sector.
Many of the companies under its umbrella for many years are all happy.
On the other hand, the bald eagle had a sad face.
Because of the oil crisis, Bald Eagle, Tokyo, Europe and other places were caught off guard and fell into the worst recession since the end of the war.
Economists predict that the country's GDP will fall by 4.7 percent.
You must know that Bald Eagle's economy is the largest in the world, and it is completely behemoth.
Drop 4.7, that's a big deal.
And the chain effect of this is that the Hang Seng Index on Hong Kong Island fell by 60% after falling 75% in the previous year.
For a time, the stock market of the entire Hong Kong Island was in mourning.
This creates a strange phenomenon.
The cargo terminals and airport freight terminals on Hong Kong Island have been very busy, which is a scene of economic prosperity.
However, the handful of people who engage in stock market speculation are wailing bitterly in front of newspapers, television stations, and other media, saying that Hong Kong Island's economy is in recession.
In fact, it is not.
The real economy is developing rapidly, and only speculators have become the unlucky ones under the oil crisis.
Yaya Toy Factory, Shubao Company, Rolls-Royce Group, Huimin Supermarket, FamilyMart Convenience Store, Shengmeng Seafood Supermarket, etc., these are all enterprises under the name of Majia Michael for many years.
These companies have not been affected by the oil crisis at all.
It can't be said that there is no at all, it can only be said that it has been erased.
For example, Huimin supermarket.
Its market base is actually Bald Eagle, and now the total number of supermarkets has exceeded 200, and it continues to expand.
With the advent of the oil crisis, the cost of Trans-Asia shipping and high-speed logistics must have increased rapidly.
However, they also found bank loans and invested in oil, so they directly wiped out this part of the cost.
There is even a high revenue, originally this money was invested in opening a new store half a year ago, and it is only enough to open fifteen stores at most.
But this time, the revenue is enough to open forty new stores, and it is more than enough.
If it weren't for the need to set aside a little money to ensure the operation, let alone forty, forty-five would be no problem.
In addition, the consumption of some residents in the local area of Bald Eagle has indeed declined.
It's not much, but it's more or less affected.
With the departure of 73 years and the arrival of 74 years, many years have become more and more looking forward to the future.
Not long after New Year's Day, trouble came to the door.
In the second half of last year, Arab Airlines, which had initialed a civil airliner agreement with Rolls-Royce Group, was snatched away by Boeing.
After hearing this news for many years, I was surprised.
He was not angry, but surprised.
Because he began to guard against Boeing, an old silver coin company, early on.
To be precise, he was in one of the eavesdropping divisions of the Bald Eagles.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that even if the agreement had been initialed, it was still pried away by Boeing.
As the head of Rolls-Royce on Hong Kong Island, Alexander is really under pressure this time.
When he first heard about this, he was very angry and personally flew to the Middle East to ask the local tyrant why he was treacherous?
But in business, as long as it is profitable, who will talk to you about integrity?
You know, this is not a benefit of tens of dollars, but tens of millions of dollars.
The price given by Boeing is very low, anyway, it is much cheaper than the price of Rolls-Royce.
Fools know that Boeing is going to be chosen, so even if the agreement is initialed, so what?
Alexander, who was furious, shouted and asked: "Can Boeing's aircraft technology be as strong as our Rolls-Royce Group?" ”
"Cut, why isn't there any?"
The representative of the local tyrant snorted disdainfully, "Your Rolls-Royce Group is just a rising star, and the Boeing Company is an old-timer, okay?" ”
"Aren't you fighting against the bald eagle? Why do you still work with Boeing? ”
"We're rich, but we're not wronged, you know?"
Hearing this, there was no point in continuing the conversation.
It's just that if this field is not recovered, of course it will not work.
For many years, I didn't really want to make a move, after all, it was just a $500 million order.
In the past six months, he has made tens of billions of dollars, a lot of money.
And it's also a bald eagle, the wool of Tokyo, and he is always happy in his heart.
Today, there is still a war going on in the Middle East, and the war is far from over.
Oil prices are still at high levels, and it is not known whether they will come down, and by how much.
This year's Spring Festival is very early, and on January 22 is the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Therefore, for many years, Alexander was left to look after it himself, and then he took his family back to the capital.
During the Spring Festival this year, Xiaodoubao did not return to the capital because they needed to review and did not want to toss back and forth.
Xiao Budian didn't go back, but stayed on Hong Kong Island.
Now that the children have grown up, they all have their own ideas, but they don't go back for a year or two, and they don't force them for many years.
Only Brother Jing is crazy and has a lot of fun, as long as it is a show to go out, the two brothers are always indispensable.
Not to mention white tofu, she also has a little meaning of lying flat now.
There is enough money, and if you want to study, you can just follow the steps.
Besides, her IQ is still enough, and she can get the top five in her grade every time.
Although it is not as good as Xiao Budian and his two sisters, it is already very powerful.
After the Spring Festival, he returned to Hong Kong Island for many years, and had nothing to do, so he was ready to help Alexander and avenge this revenge.
Boeing, on its side, is ready to win an order from an airline in South America, which is about 800 million US dollars.
This market in South America is the backyard of Boeing, and if Rolls-Royce wins this market, it will definitely make a lot of money.
And not only took revenge, but also stuck a needle in the heart of Boeing.
So, many years ago, he personally went to South America to assist the Rolls-Royce Group and won the order of this airline.
And for many years, Alexander was asked to keep quiet about it, and then blow it out after the plane was delivered, so as to save trouble.
To this, Alexander of course hurriedly agreed.
As for the South American airlines, they naturally actively cooperated.
The cost of a civil aviation airliner, exactly what it is, the airlines are not very clear, only the manufacturers themselves know best.
Even from aircraft manufacturer to aircraft, the cost varies.
For example, Boeing and Rolls-Royce Group, the labor cost of the former is definitely the highest, but what about the latter?
In addition to R&D personnel, as well as engineers in important positions, they are on par with Boeing, Airbus and other companies, but other labor costs are much less.
After all, Rolls-Royce pays in Hong Kong dollars, while Boeing pays in dollars.
Although the Bretton Woods system collapsed, the dollar was not as good as it used to be.
But it is still the most common unit of currency around the world.
South American Airlines is holding Boeing in check, maneuvering hard.
After a long time, Boeing quickly came back to its senses: this bastard must have found a supplier, right?
So, the people of Boeing seized the time to investigate, only to find that the Rolls-Royce Group suddenly added two new factories two months ago.
Tsk, Hong Kong Island is not very big, and it is very difficult to hide it.
That's why Boeing was so quick to find the cause.
was robbed of the order by Rolls-Royce, and Boeing was of course very angry.
Although they also grabbed Rolls-Royce's orders before, they still lost more than 300 million US dollars one after the other, and they lost a lot of money.
Liangzi is so settled, and if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely get it back.
As for the follow-up of this matter, I have not been involved in it for many years.
March passed, April came as scheduled, and this year's Qingming Festival, I still have to go back to the capital to worship.
At this point in time, he wanted to go back to his hometown earlier than Lao Xu to worship.
It's just that he can't.
Even if he went to repair the old mansion in advance, he wouldn't do it.
If he makes a mistake, even if he has a lot of credit, it is still very troublesome.
For the word trouble, he has always stayed away.
In Beijing, it has been evident for many years that the atmosphere in Beijing in 1974 was very different.
What are the specific differences, for a while, he can't say.
In general, the cold Siberian winds are not so sharp.
After worshipping his ancestors, staying in Beihe Hutong for a few days, and visiting his father-in-law and mother-in-law in Qinjiagou, he returned to Hong Kong Island with his children for many years.
On Hong Kong Island in the first half of the year, the stock market volatility was still very strong.
The Hang Seng Index is like an electrocardiogram, fluctuating up and down, making people panic.
In October, dates from Somalia entered the Hong Kong Island market on an ocean-going giant ship.
In October last year, during the date harvest season, the coarsely processed dates were directly packaged and transported to Bald Eagle for sale.
I thought that the market reaction was cold, but who knew that it was extremely popular and unusually hot.
hasn't invited celebrities to endorse yet, but it was sold on the most conspicuous shelves of Huimin Supermarket, and then it was sold out in minutes.
Later, after an analysis, I learned that dates are delicious, have high nutritional value, and are very cheap, so they will be loved by the general public.
The cost of dates produced in Somalia is not high, and the cost of each pound of dates is only a few tenths of a cent.
Counting the cost of processing, transportation, etc., the cost to the bald eagle is 1.5 cents.
The ex-factory price is four cents, which means that the Somali side can earn two and a half cents.
When Huimin Supermarket hit the shelves, the price came to 9.9 cents.
The price of 9.9 cents is actually quite expensive.
But for the citizens of Bald Eagle, the price is still very cheap.
It is precisely because the dates sold cheaply in 73 years have been sold cheaply that they have felt a loss for many years.
In addition to feeling a loss, the amount of dates is not much, so it cannot be supplied to the market on Hong Kong Island.
Therefore, in October this year, after the production of dates, many years ago, cargo ships were arranged to be the first to transport them to Hong Kong Island for sale.
As a result, as soon as he brought the dates home, there were a lot of dates in the house.
"Brother, you're back, come and taste it, this is the date you said last year, right? This year, all of them are sold on the market. ”
Xiaomei saw her brother and hurriedly beckoned.
Her daughter Gu Tingting also learned her mother's gestures, picked up a date palm, and handed it to many years.
"You all bought it back?"
After many years, his face was strange, and he immediately smiled and hugged Gu Tingting, "Thank you Tingting, it's so good!" ”
Gu Tingting was born at the end of '72, and now it's October '74, and she is almost two years old.
The little one was so happy that he shouted to eat and eat, and for many years he had to obediently eat the dates she gave.
On the table in the living room, there are a lot of dates.
Qin Huairu said with a smile next to him, as if they had discussed it, they went to buy it together, and they didn't know when they were going to eat so many dates.
White Tofu said helplessly:
"Mom, there are so many people in our family, just this little date, it won't take a long time to eat, besides, these dates have been packaged, and the shelf life is half a year."
Nowadays, preservatives and other preservation methods are limited, and the best time to eat dates is six months, which is already a very good preservation technology.
"That's right, the fourth uncle's family shouldn't have bought it, right? We'll just send some of them later. Xiao Doubao also interjected.
Several of their children bought them all, and they didn't say a word before they bought them.
Each of them has a small treasury, and they spend their money without mercy.
It means that each of them buys these dates, and they buy them according to the maximum amount.
After all, there are nine people in the family for many years alone, as well as Li Jinlian's aunts, as well as their grandfathers.
And Xiaomei and Xiaoqian often come to the house as guests, and the same is true for Xu Qianqian's family.
Therefore, when buying something, it is natural to think about the portion.
For many years, I only went to the warehouse to pick up the goods after receiving a notice.
It's just that he received a call from the Rolls-Royce group temporarily, so he didn't go to the warehouse to get the dates until very late.
I wanted to surprise my family, but I didn't expect him to receive the surprise first.
"Okay, okay, if you buy it, you can buy it, and if you can't finish it, you can eat it slowly, if it really doesn't work, I'll take it to the employee as a benefit."
Seeing that Qin Huairu was arguing with the children again, he hurriedly stood up and said for many years.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Budian, who had just walked in, also carried a large bag of things in his hand.
Brother Jing couldn't help but say:
"Big brother, what are you carrying in your hand? It can't be dates again, right? ”
Good guys, this family really knows a little bit.
Is that okay too?
