Chapter 449: Planning
When Yu Xiang returned to her bedroom on the second floor, she saw this scene and quickly ran to the window to close it. After closing the window, she turned around and punched Huang Xiaochuan a few times.
"Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? You have two kids at home!"
Suddenly, Yu Xiang noticed the water stains left by the melting snowflakes on Huang Xiaochuan's face, and she thought Huang Xiaochuan had cried for some reason.
Yu Xiang's expression immediately turned tense: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Huang Xiaochuan casually wiped his face with his hand: "It's nothing, the snow was too heavy and it hit my face."
Yu Xiang looked at Huang Xiaochuan with disbelief and skepticism: "Really? I don't believe it!"
Huang Xiaochuan pointed to the water stains on the ground, both amused and exasperated. These were water droplets that had drifted in after the window was opened.
"See for yourself, isn't that right?"
Yu Xiang looked at the ground and then at Huang Xiaochuan's eyes. It seemed he really wasn't lying.
However, Yu Xiang was still furious and punched the unreliable man a few times. He was really just bored and had nothing better to do. The house was so warm, but he insisted on opening the window, and now the floor is all wet.
Huang Xiaochuan hugged Yu Xiang affectionately, comforting her, "Okay, okay! Don't be angry, I'll clean the floor myself later!"
Are your son and daughter asleep?
"They're asleep. I just fed them, Xiao Chuan. I've noticed that the two little ones are eating more and more, and my milk supply might not be enough for them."
Huang Xiaochuan hugged Yu Xiang and comforted her, "It's okay. If it really doesn't work, we'll just use formula. We'll buy the best quality. I'll have someone buy it from overseas."
Yu Xiang looked worried: "My son is fine, but I'm afraid our daughter won't eat."
As the mother of her own children, Yu Xiang knew them best and had long since figured out the personalities of her two little ones.
"Then let's find a wet nurse, pay her a good amount of money, and not mistreat her."
Yu Xiang glared at Huang Xiaochuan with dissatisfaction: "Look at you now, you're acting like a complete landlord, you even need to hire a wet nurse."
Huang Xiaochuan felt so wronged! More wronged than Dou E!
However, he dared not complain, because it was said that breastfeeding mothers were very sensitive and particularly prone to depression. So ever since Yu Xiang gave birth, he had been very obedient to her and had never made her angry.
After New Year's Day in 98, Huang Xiaochuan went to Ding Yi's office.
It had been a while since Huang Xiaochuan had visited Ding Yi's office. A beautiful young woman had appeared there, and Huang Xiaochuan couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, then frowned.
After the woman put down the tea and left, Huang Xiaochuan gestured with his lip towards the door.
"What's going on with you?"
Having known each other for so many years, Ding Yi instantly understood Huang Xiaochuan's meaning: "Hey! Don't get the wrong idea, this is Qi Huan's cousin."
"real?"
"Don't believe me? Ask Qi Huan directly next time you see her."
Seeing that Ding Yi's expression didn't seem fake, Huang Xiaochuan stopped mentioning the matter and went straight to the point.
"I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing?"
Huang Xiaochuan's sudden question left Ding Yi completely bewildered.
"What, how is it?"
"I'm asking if you're still trading Hong Kong stocks?"
Huang Xiaochuan knew that Ding Yi had made a lot of money from Hong Kong stocks over the years and had gradually gained control of some real estate assets, but he didn’t know if Ding Yi had recently invested heavily in Hong Kong stocks, which is why he asked this question. He knew that the Hang Seng Index would plummet from 16000 points to around 6500 points due to attacks from international capital.
He was worried that Ding Yi would get caught in the trap, which would result in huge losses, but that wasn't the main purpose. Huang Xiaochuan had other expectations for Ding Yi, and he felt that Ding Yi would soon figure out his true intentions.
"Of course I'm doing it!" Ding Yi didn't understand why his friend would suddenly ask about Hong Kong stocks, but he still told him the truth.
"Sell all your Hong Kong stocks before the end of the month, don't keep a single one."
Ding Yi was taken aback by Huang Xiaochuan's words: "Why?"
Huang Xiaochuan opened his briefcase, took out a document, and handed it to Ding Yi.
"This is data I got from Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and DBS Bank in Singapore, along with some of my analysis of the Southeast Asian financial crisis. Take a look, and I'll explain anything you don't understand."
Ding Yi took the documents and began to read them quickly. He majored in economics and had been working in finance for many years, so he could understand these documents.
After reading it, Ding Yi was a little skeptical: "Is your guess reliable?"
"The data is accurate. You can verify it; it shouldn't be difficult for you with your abilities."
"Is international capital really planning to target Hong Kong?"
"It's not just a plan, they've already been doing it, and the time for an explosion shouldn't be far off! Moreover, I analyze that these guys will outwardly pretend to be relentlessly suppressing the exchange rate, but their real goal is to short Hong Kong stocks. By shorting, they can first reap the initial profits, and then take the opportunity to buy up a large number of high-quality Hong Kong assets at low prices. After the storm passes and asset prices recover, they will gradually sell these assets to cash out."
Then Huang Xiaochuan explained the analysis results of the Southeast Asian financial crisis and the relevant data models to Ding Yi one by one, and told Ding Yi about all the common tricks used by international capital and some past cases.
Ding Yi was very clever, and he quickly understood Huang Xiaochuan's true intentions.
"I understand. You want me to focus all my efforts on shorting Hong Kong stocks before these international capitals do, and then snatch these high-quality assets from them first. It's better to have them in our hands than to let outsiders take them."
Huang Xiaochuan snapped his fingers: "That's right! But you're not doing this alone. The higher-ups will get involved too. So as long as you're well-prepared, we're guaranteed to peel a layer off these locusts. I know you might not have enough funds. No problem, I'll arrange to lend you some to make sure you have enough ammunition."
Ding Yi understood immediately. He pointed above his head: "The higher-ups know too?"
Huang Xiaochuan didn't hide anything and told them about how the old man had found a group of people to support him.
Ding Yi was incredibly envious: "If it weren't for the age difference, I'd suspect you were Old Wang's illegitimate son. He's treating you way too well! Even his own son doesn't get this kind of treatment!"
Huang Xiaochuan glared at Ding Yi angrily: "Get lost! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. My relationship with the old man is called a deep master-disciple bond."
Ding Yi suddenly realized something, and he pointed at Huang Xiaochuan: "Hey kid, tell me the truth? Are you planning to get involved too?"
Huang Xiaochuan had no intention of hiding his thoughts from Ding Yi, but he wouldn't tell him the specific operational details.
So Huang Xiaochuan nodded.
When Ding Yi saw that Huang Xiaochuan was also going to join in, he got excited and suddenly stood up.
"Damn it! They're just a bunch of foreign bastards! Come on! Watch how I'll take them down!"
The two chatted for a while, finalizing some details. After discussing work, they started talking about personal matters.
"Big shot, Old Chen went to Australia, and now it's just the two of us left in Shanghai, relying on each other for survival."
Huang Xiaochuan rolled his eyes at Ding Yi; this guy's way of speaking was really awkward.
"I know, he sent gifts to my son and daughter a few days ago, but I couldn't make it in time to see him off when he left."
"If you have something important to do, I can deliver it for you. I'll act as your representative."
"I called him, and he was fine. He really liked the place, saying it was sparsely populated and the neighbors didn't bother each other much."
Ding Yi smiled and shook his head: "Old Chen is still a bit introverted. He's a little better when he's with us, but he's probably even more withdrawn when he's with his wife, Chen Qiao."
"Don't talk nonsense. His Chen Qiao is quite lively, isn't she? It's good that Old Chen is with her. It would be troublesome if they were both lively!"
"That's true!"
Huang Xiaochuan asked, "Your son Ding Xiaojia is almost two months old, right?"
Ding Yi said casually, "More or less! She was born on November 9th, and it's January 5th now, so she's about two months old."
Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Ding Yi and suddenly laughed.
Ding Yi instantly understood what Huang Xiaochuan meant.
Enraged, he threatened, "Hey Huang, if you don't tell, we're still friends!"
Huang Xiaochuan struggled to suppress his laughter.
The reason Huang Xiaochuan laughed when he mentioned Ding Yi's son, Ding Xiaojia, was that the little guy was exactly the same as Ding Yi. There was no need for a paternity test. If the two of them were put together, anyone could tell at a glance that they were father and son. Ding Yi's signature small eyes were passed down to his son without any problems.
Qi Huan was very worried about this, and she complained to Yu Xiang several times behind her back.
Seeing that everything had been discussed, Huang Xiaochuan got up to take his leave.
Ding Yi urged, "Don't go! It's been so long since we drank together. How about we have some tonight?"
Huang Xiaochuan waved his hand dismissively: "No, no, I won't drink. If I drink, I'll smell like alcohol, and my wife won't let me hold the kids when I get home!"
"Chi Na! You're a stay-at-home dad now! All you think about is holding the baby."
Huang Xiaochuan ignored him and instead emphasized, "Hurry up and get ready, don't delay. Zhang Sui will contact you later, just tell her what's on your mind."
"Okay, I got it! I never imagined that woman was working for you?"
