The stock market crash of 1973 is a topic that every Hong Kong person cannot avoid. Although "Zhou Ji" has been very careful under Zhou Ming's instructions, it is still inevitably affected by the general environment, and the hot business is also affected. It's getting lighter day by day.
"Brother Ming, there are all kinds of tragedies in the newspapers every day. Fortunately, we escaped early." At this time, Lou Xiao'e saw the headlines on the front page of the newspaper and couldn't help but feel frightened.
"Well, although we have made a lot of money in the stock market and real estate, the business of "Zhou Ji" has been quiet." Zhou Ming was also very surprised by the real power of the stock market crash. Experience firsthand is far more powerful than reading history books. .
"There's nothing we can do about it! We can't change the general environment."
"Next, I plan to open a takeout service in "Zhouji" and then sign takeout contracts with some companies, which can be regarded as opening up new business for our "Zhouji"."
"Takeaway? That's fine! I didn't expect Brother Ming that your business skills are so high."
"Haha, you're not bad either! Now the newspapers are praising you as a stocking goddess."
"Pull it down! Without your prompting, I would have climbed to the rooftop."
There is nothing that makes the most sense for a couple to go both ways, so Zhou Ming and Lou Xiao'e are enjoying their current lives, and they feel very fulfilled watching their children grow up happily day by day.
The next day, Zhou Ming came to the "Zhouji" catering management company in Central. He originally wanted to inform Axia that he was preparing to launch a takeaway business, but he found that it was almost ten o'clock and he had not come to work yet.
"A Dong, didn't Mr. Qiu come today?" Zhou Ming looked at the employees aside with confusion and asked.
"Boss, it seems something happened to Mr. Qiu's family."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Boss, it seems that Mr. Qiu's husband failed to invest in the stock market. Yesterday, he climbed onto the rooftop of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and jumped off the building."
"What?"
At this time, Zhou Ming was really shocked. He really didn't expect that the tragedy would be so close to him, and he didn't expect that even with his reminder, the people around him would be affected by the stock market crash.
Then Zhou Ming and Lou Xiao'e drove to Axia's home together. As expected, a solemn sadness came over them, "Axia, my condolences."
"Boss, it's all my fault! You forgot to remind my husband to be careful about the stock market."
"Hey! Look away! After all, you still have a long way to go."
"Thank you, boss! Thank you, Sister Tan."
Then Zhou Ming and Lou Xiao'e gave her a gift, and then asked Axia to give her a month's leave. They would not go to work until she had arranged her housework, and then drove away again.
"Brother Ming, I heard that the Lou family has not been having a good time recently, and it seems to have been affected by the stock market crash." Sitting in the luxury car going home, Lou Xiao'e turned to look at Zhou Ming and explained.
"Xiao'e, what do you think?" Zhou Ming and his wife have been paying attention to the Lou family in Hong Kong Island in the past few years, and they also know that the Lou family has been affected by the stock market crash recently.
"Brother Ming, my parents are gone now, and the Lou family only has a few veins left, so I want to go over and make contact."
"Okay! Then take over their real estate business, whether it's land or real estate."
"Brother Ming, in fact, the Lou family's main business is heavy industry such as steel, and it is mainly distributed in Southeast Asia and South America. I feel that we are fully capable of taking over now."
"You said it too! Heavy industry is the foundation of your Lou family. Do you think they are willing to compromise and let go?"
"That's right! Now that my father is not suppressing them, naturally they are reluctant to give up such huge benefits."
"Xiao'e, my business plan for our family is mainly in the catering industry and real estate industry. As for the rest, it only involves some electronic industries."
"Okay! I understand! When contacting the Lou family, I will mainly focus on these industries."
…
In the capital, the Siheyuan. Without Zhou Ming and Lou Xiaoe, the Siheyuan has remained unchanged for thousands of years, but it seems much calmer than the original Siheyuan. After all, the incident involving the second uncle Liu Haizhong is still a haze on everyone's mind.
Qin Huairu couldn't help but turn her head when she passed by the former He family. The feeling that things were different and people were different made her feel really uncomfortable. She couldn't help but think of Zhou Ming's proposal to her. If she really married Zhou Mingxing might not have to face such hardship.
"Sister Qin, is something wrong with you?" He Yuyu's confused voice sounded from behind Qin Huairu.
"Ah? Yuyu, are you off work? I went to the uncle's house for something." Qin Huairu quickly turned around and looked at He Yuyu in surprise and explained.
"Oh? I thought it was Sister Qin who came to see me."
"Yu Yu, your brother and your sister-in-law have been working in the south for almost four years, right?"
"Yes! I went to the south in 1969, and it has been exactly four years this year."
"So are they okay in the south? Will they be transferred back to our capital to work in the future?"
"I don't know! The letter just said that I was doing very well there and didn't say when I would come back."
"Haha, Yuyu, you should go home first! I'll go and sit at the uncle's house."
He Yuyu naturally knew Qin Huairu's feelings for Zhou Ming, and also knew about Zhou Ming's proposal to Qin Huairu in public, but now he felt that fate had tricked people and felt pity for the two of them.
Then Qin Huairu and He Yuyu staggered to go home, while the other went to the home of Yi Zhonghai, the uncle next door, which meant that it was difficult for their lives to intersect again.
When the aunt saw Qin Huairu coming to visit, she immediately felt like a night owl who came into the house for nothing, "Huairu, are you busy?"
"Is Master at home? You need to tell him something."
"Here! I'll call him for you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Soon the uncle walked out of the back room with sleepy eyes, "Huai Ru! You came to see me for something?"
"Master, Bangge has returned from writing a letter from the countryside. He is applying to return to the city."
"Returning to the city? Work positions in the steel rolling mill are very scarce now. Even temporary workers have no idle positions."
"I know! But we can't let Bangge stay in the countryside as an educated youth, right? He has been there for more than four years now."
"Huai Ru, it's really not that I don't want to help. It's really that I can't do anything about it."
"Master, what should you do about this?"
"Huai Ru, why don't you go and beg Xu Damao? You must know that Xu Damao is Bangge's biological uncle. It is most suitable for Bangge to learn to play movies with Xu Damao."
"Huh? That's what I said! I'll go back to Jingru to discuss it."
In fact, Qin Huairu had already thought about asking Xu Damao, but Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were both born in the year of Pixiu, so it was really not easy for them to help find a solution, so Qin Huairu had to go to the uncle first.
"By the way! Master, have you heard anything about Silly Zhu in recent years?"
"No! I asked He Yuyu several times about Shazhu's situation, but He Yuyu couldn't explain clearly. The letters he sent back were just about the family's troubles and some money."
"Oh? If you can send money to Yuyu in the capital, it seems that Shazhu is doing well now."
"Well, even though Shazhu is usually silly in the courtyard, he is actually very smart and cunning. He is definitely not one who is willing to suffer losses wherever he goes."
"Haha, that's right."
