At night, the lights in the manor-style mansion in Mid-Levels are bright. Sitting in the garden of a large complex villa, looking at the glorious night view of Hong Kong, Chen Hongtao has a touch of enjoyment on his face.
"The weather here is getting cooler. Don't sit outside for too long at night." Lin Lan, who was wearing one-piece cotton pajamas, personally brought two cups of steaming fragrant coffee and gently reminded Chen Hongtao.
The large-scale compound mansion is very layered, showing a luxurious atmosphere everywhere.
Seeing Mrs. Guangyan sitting next to him, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile and said: "The Hang Seng Index has fallen a lot today. The situation does not seem to be ideal."
"Then it depends on how you look at it. Although the Hang Seng Index has fallen a lot, international speculators have not increased their short-selling efforts on the futures index. Even the currency market has stabilized a lot." Lin Lan looked deeply at Chen Hongtao Glancing and smiling.
The gentle breeze carries the refreshing fragrance of flowers, making people feel extremely comfortable.
Chen Hongtao was drinking coffee with a look of admiration on his face: "I didn't expect you to be so good at making coffee. Looking at you, you seem to feel a lot more at ease."
"What's the use of just being stable? The roaring financial crisis can easily cause people to panic. I'm afraid that if the stock market continues to fall like this, it will have a correlational impact." Lin Lan said calmly with a pretty face.
"I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I read a piece of information. This time the Hong Kong stock market peaked and fell. Many major institutions responded half a beat too late. The shipment situation was not ideal. If the stock market fell rapidly, these institutions would be trapped in it. Among them, it's not a bad thing." Chen Hongtao looked a little gloating.
"The abandonment of the Taiwan dollar's exchange rate was too sudden. Coupled with your smoke bomb to protect the Hong Kong stock market, many local institutions in Hong Kong have some expectations. Speaking of which, the reason why some major institutions did not flee in time is much more. It's your fault." Lin Lan said with an angry smile.
"If those institutions weren't greedy and wanted to take advantage of our Pearl Holdings' deadly battle with international hot money to calmly sell the chips in their hands and sell them at a good price, how could they be trapped in it, so we can't have the intention to harm others. "There was a hint of amusement on Chen Hongtao's face.
"As an investment institution, we pursue maximizing profits. There is nothing wrong with that. It's better to say that you are too guarded against others. A big business makes you even more stingy! You have been in Hong Kong for two days, and the stock market has been plummeting. It is about to catch up. It¡¯s a disaster. Sometimes I even think about it. If you didn¡¯t show up, the situation would probably be better.¡± The woman joked to Chen Hongtao.
"If it hadn't been for me, yesterday, under the influence of the news that the Taiwan dollar exchange rate had dropped, I would not be like this now. I have received benefits and want to ask for more. There is no limit to human greed and desire!" Chen Hongtao said. The appearance of a savior.
Lin Lan rolled her eyes at Chen Hongtao: "I guess if you didn't come forward, those capital bosses hiding behind the international speculators wouldn't show up. I really didn't expect that there would be such a scary guy who triggered this financial crisis! "
"The world's capital market is in deep water. There are also many shrewd behemoths hidden. Without the driving force behind the scenes, how can it be possible to set off huge waves." Chen Hongtao's eyes were deep and steady.
"Today, those scary big capitalists, as if they had made an appointment with you, have not left the Stock Exchange. Only Quantum Fund, headed by Soros, is left, leading the main short-side institutions to continuously put pressure on the market. But even if In this way, we are still no match!" Lin Lan sighed faintly.
"In fact, the most important thing about this financial crisis is South Korea, Japan and Russia. Their attacks on Hong Kong's financial market were more for strategic purposes. The successive economic collapses of Japan and the Soviet Union in the late 1980s were just a chess game. Beginning. And the current financial turmoil is about to complete the squeeze-like ending. The wealth of both Japan and Russia will be redistributed after this financial turmoil, which is equivalent to nailing the final nail on the economy of the two countries. coffin board." Chen Hongtao smiled and said something that shocked Lin Lan extremely.
"What you mean is that the economic collapse of the former Soviet Union has not completely ended yet?" Lin Lan asked solemnly.
"The capital feast resulting from the economic collapse of a superpower can be divided up for a long time. It is estimated that in this Asian financial crisis, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the new ruble will be the final position. It is not only the oil and water generated by the economic collapse of the former Soviet Union, but The Russian economy is still in a period of weakness. If it is not squeezed dry, how can the operators involved in it completely stop? The same is true for Japan." Chen Hongtao said with a deep smile.
"So, do a group of international speculators attack Hong Kong's financial market just to have a strategic chain reaction?" Lin Lan is not sure.
Chen Hongtao lit a cigar: "Two boxers are competing in the ring. After a preliminary test of blows, if one party showsIf there is obvious weakness and fatigue, then the strong party will probably choose to attack fiercely without hesitation to knock down the opponent. There is no doubt about the cruelty of the capital market. "
"You are not worried, but the situation may change too much. If this storm continues to blow, it will really make people feel uneasy. The Hang Seng Index has fallen sharply for two days, and many major local institutions in Hong Kong are still We have high expectations for Mingzhu Holdings. If we had known this visible life-saving straw, we would not have fallen into our hands to save him from trouble. When the time comes, no one can afford to worry." Lin Lan pouted, as if to Chen Hongtao It's like complaining.
"Humans have the strongest ability to adapt. The impact of the bull-bear transition in the stock market on the market is mostly in the early stages. You won't feel the pain when it goes down. Moreover, these capital consortiums in Hong Kong are also very rich, so let them lose more. Just think of it as narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor a little bit." Chen Hongtao rubbed his fingers in a funny way, which made Lin Lan smile sweetly.
"You conspirators are all gathered in Hong Kong, and you haven't met yet?" After a while, Lin Lan asked Chen Hongtao.
Chen Hongtao pretended to be honest and said with a smile: "To say that conspirators are so ugly is because this is the inherent law of economic operation. You should not suffer from persecution syndrome and look at people through colored glasses."
"The domestic side sent a copy early in the morning. The information about Pearl Holdings in the past is very impressive. Moreover, the terrifying big capitalists who appeared on the Stock Exchange yesterday all have deep connections with Pearl Holdings. The most terrifying thing about the intersection is that the truly terrifying international speculators are all members of the former Pearl Group investment fleet cluster, and they are constantly fighting in the north and south. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are capital monsters who grew up together with Pearl Holdings! "Lin Lan looked into Chen Hongtao's beautiful eyes. Revealing bright splendor.
"After all, one person's power is limited. If you want to gain an advantage in the financial war, it is a good way to attack as a team. While sharing resources, everyone can strengthen their momentum. Although the world capital market has not been calm in recent years, the economy has been It is developing at a rapid pace. Whether it is the capital market or the real economy, flowers are in full bloom, wonderful and prosperous." Chen Hongtao said with a lively smile.
"So many old friends are in Hong Kong, aren't you ready to meet them?" Lin Lan asked with a smile, staring at Chen Hongtao.
Chen Hongtao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Those guys have been running to Campelos Island a lot in the past few years. Besides, everyone is in different camps, so it's better to avoid it a little bit, so as not to worry the old men in the country."
"I didn't expect that you would also consider your position and other people's thoughts. It really surprised me." Lin Lanjiao said with a smile.
"As the head of an investment institution, I spend my days making constant calculations and arrangements. There are many entanglements of interests that need to be paid attention to. If I hold a big pool party and find some celebrities and young models to have fun, I am afraid that people will do it. Look sideways!" Chen Hongtao leaned on the wicker chair, making people feel very quiet.
"Not serious" Lin Lan spat at Chen Hongtao.
"But I still like you more than the star model." Chen Hongtao smiled evilly, sitting down and extending his hand to Lin Lan.
Feeling Chen Hongtao's admiring gaze, Lin Lan shyly stood up and sat on his lap: "A shameless guy like you should save your flattery for others."
"Sweet words can be infuriating, but it seems to be quite effective now." Chen Hongtao, who was full of Xianglan, had already begun to feel untrustworthy with his big hands.
"The value of this manor villa should be very high now, right?" Lin Lan asked with a sigh as she looked at the layered compound manor in the middle of the mountain.
"In 1988, its value had exceeded 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Now it is probably worth 600 million." Chen Hongtao didn't care too much.
"You are leaving early tomorrow morning, are you ready?" Lin Lan felt a little disappointed, but it did not last long.
Lin Lan knows very well what Chen Hongtao means to her. Just a passerby in life.
"The people below will prepare, so there is no need to worry. I don't want to live up to such a beautiful scenery." As Chen Hongtao smiled, he was already carrying the woman and walking towards the villa.
After returning to the bedroom, Lin Lan struggled in Chen Hongtao's arms. After closing the curtains, her beautiful eyes were moist and she did not dare to look at Chen Hongtao. She was both expecting and a little scared.
Chen Hongtao approached the woman, gently untied the belt of her nightgown, and quickly took off the white nightgown from her body and fell to the ground.
Lin Lan was a little shy and unbearable when Chen Hongtao stared at her plump body. She quickly hugged him to block the spring light in front of her.
"My dear, your skin is really smooth and tender." Chen Hongtao admired with a smile as his big hands roamed Lin Lan's body, conquering the city.
"Have mercy on me"Chen Hongtao kissed her tender pink buds one by one, and the young woman gasped in emotion.
Under Chen Hongtao¡¯s gentle and powerful caress, the spring feeling in the bedroom gradually became stronger, and Lin Lan was soon intoxicated by the charm of lust
"Compared with the spring scenery in the mid-level manor where Chen Hongtao lives, Winnie in a bar in Lan Kwai Fong looks a little depressed.
"I heard from Pei'er that when you found Chen today, you must have learned his thoughts, right?" Nicole asked with a smile.
After drinking half a bottle of beer, Winnie breathed a sigh of relief: "It's basically a warning in disguise, but I think he was meant to scare people."
Seeing Winnie's pretty face slightly tipsy, Nicole lit up a lady's cigarette: "Over the years, you don't seem to be very happy. Relatively speaking, Helen and Jill who live on Campelos Island are more comfortable. "
Winnie drank her beer. Although she didn't say much, there was a trace of regret hidden in her eyes that was not easy for others to detect.
"Although I don't know what irreconcilable conflicts have arisen between you and Chen, I'm afraid it's impossible for you to wait for him to give in. Just look at Su Mengling's neglect in the country these years." Nicole reminded with emotion.
"Once some things are missed, there is no chance to look back. In his eyes, I am not even as good as the dead Roy. Nine years later, although he is still so crooked, he is always a person who can distinguish between the main point and the main point. A person like this, even if he plays with his heart outside, he still loves his four wives at home the most!" Winnie said with a sad smile.
"A scary person must be extremely rational. Although Chen's life style has always had a bad reputation, it has never been said that he is too dissolute. It's just that I don't know what's the gap between you and Su Mengling and him?" Nicole asked curiously.
"If I said it was because of hundreds of millions of dollars, would you believe it?" Winnie said with a sad smile.
Nicole's surprise flashed away, and she immediately laughed out loud: "Don't talk about hundreds of millions of dollars. Even one hundred and eighty thousand dollars is enough to turn a husband and wife into enemies. Once the relationship is mixed with interests, it will change. ! But as far as I know, Chen is not a stingy person. He knew you and Helen long before he came to the United States, but his success does not depend on you. "
"Indeed, I still relied on him to gradually separate from the family over the years. There are many women with status and family background around him, and you are even one of them, but he does not value it very much, which is enough to prove His strength." Winnie took a deep breath and said.
"If he relied on women, I'm afraid he wouldn't be where he is today. We can see the clues from those senior executives of Pearl Holdings who were not top-notch but very obedient. Such people will always take the initiative and will not tolerate others' presumption, let alone You won't give anyone a chance to admit your mistake!" Nicole saw clearly.
Hear what Nicole said. Winnie looked a little strange: "I didn't expect you to know him quite well. Several important female executives of Mingzhu Holdings are all good-looking, but even in the development process of Mingzhu Holdings, he did not pass Have a relationship with them. This will achieve the purpose of stabilizing the company."
Nicole couldn't help but smile: "You are complaining that the people you associate with Chen are all strange women with bad family backgrounds, right? Bodyguards, maids, and even young women. To say that he is really a guy who does whatever he wants! But It¡¯s no wonder. Just like those important female executives of Mingzhu Holdings, they are praised by him for their unparalleled talents. Without his support, they are nothing. A truly strong guy like Chen will not do it because of interests. , forcing yourself to make emotional compromises.¡±
"He can accept a lot of things that make people hate him, but he doesn't even know what forgiveness is. He just catches him once and punishes him a hundred times, as if he is chasing him to death, and he won't even apologize or repent. opportunity." Winnie clenched her fists, looking a little excited.
Nicole smiled slightly: "People like Chen are not serious on the surface, but they are very serious in their hearts. Not to mention that there are many choices now, even if there are not these women, it is the same. They are completely tough."
"In this regard, Su Mengling is similar to Chen Ting. Because he cannot accept the relationship with too many women around him, the two of them seem to have no contact with each other now." Winnie calmed down and said.
Nicole shook her head and smiled: "This kind of conflict is almost irreconcilable. Now Chen has a very good relationship with his four wives. Even if Su Mengling can't accept it, Chen can't abandon his four wives because of her. They can stay together or separate. , at least now it seems that after these years of running in, Chen and Jinlan have a much deeper relationship than Su Mengling, and they get along more harmoniously."
Nine years is definitely not a short time for a woman, it is enough for her youth to fade away.
"How have you and Marshall been doing over the years? He's still nice to you." Winnie thought to herself??Complex Road.
Nicole looked relaxed: "That's it. When I went bankrupt, Marshall did help me a lot. As the heir to the Mellon family, he is also a good partner, but he has too many tricks. I won¡¯t get married like Amy.¡±
"Is money really important to you?" Winnie asked Nicole with a look of regret.
Nicole took a sip of whiskey: "Are you envious of Helen and the others' peaceful life? But you have to know that not everyone can live that kind of life. If you haven't been to Campelos Island, you don't know. Although life seems good, it is not easy to live. I asked Jinlan and Helen two years ago and found out that they also lived on Campelos Island for several years before they gradually adapted to this quiet life!"
"Helen and the others used to travel a lot, I'm afraid it was because of this, but in the past two years, Campelos Island seems to have become a lot more lively, and many rich people have settled there." Winnie said faintly. , showing a hint of complaint.
"The island is completely a kind of slow life, and the Ethereal Palace is even more peaceful. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's been the same for ten years. Whenever I'm tired, I like to go there and live for a while." Nicole looked at it. Winnie's eyes were vaguely persuasive.
"That guy is really shameless. He got together with the chief executive's secretary just after arriving in Hong Kong. I think he is getting sick again." Winnie said with an angry smile.
"Isn't that what men are like? I guess I have been holding it in for nine years on Campelos Island. Of course I finally came out and had fun like a bison eating young grass." Nicole giggled.
"It's just old grass. This kind of scum without determination should be locked in the Ethereal Palace forever." Winnie smiled angrily, as if she wanted to give Chen Hongtao some color right away.
If Chen Hongtao, who was working hard at this time, knew the bad things said by the two women, even if he was dissatisfied, he would probably only retreat.
