Chapter 1255 This year's environment is difficult (write a big chapter at night)
"Zekai, let's go back." On this day, Xia Shande suddenly said to his grandson.
It has been more than half a month since they left the capital. Grandpa and grandpa have limited legs and feet, and their physical strength is not good, but even so, they have traveled through many cities.
During this period, we also visited some historical ancient cities. Xia Zekai also found a local tour guide to explain the stories of these ancient cities to them.
Grandpa and grandpa were surprised after hearing this, and even Zhou Yinghong and Xia Weicheng found it eye-opening.
Of the five little ones, only Yatou and Tongtong could not understand. Even so, they both let out bursts of exclamations, with expressions of great benefit on their little faces.
Not to mention them, Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun also felt that they had benefited a lot from this kind of cultural influence throughout history.
They had just finished visiting a new city and were about to move on to the next city when grandpa Xia Shande said these words.
After hearing what his grandfather said, Xia Zekai quickly asked: "Grandpa, are you tired? What's wrong with you?"
"Are you not tired?" Xia Shande said directly.
Hearing what grandpa said, Xia Zekai immediately changed his mind, nodded and said, "Okay, listen to grandpa, let's go home today."
After it was settled, Xia Zekai told his parents and his wife, and Xia Weicheng and his wife both thought it would be good to go back and rest for a while.
Only Yatou and Tongtong said they didn't want to go back, but again, their arms couldn't twist their thighs. At this time, they could only obey orders.
Before leaving, Yatou and Tongtong were still grumbling and looking unhappy.
Xia Zekai said: "If you don't obey me again, I will leave you two here."
"Smelly dad, just wait, when you feel uncomfortable." Tongtong began to learn to threaten.
After returning from other places, they returned to the capital first.
In the villa area of Honolulu in the capital, Wang Yi stopped the car. Xia Zekai and his father Xia Weicheng helped their tired grandfather Xia Shande and grandfather Zhou Lin get out of the car.
"Grandpa, grandpa, please go slowly," Xia Zekai said
Xia Shande raised his hand and slapped him in the face, saying, "It's not like the old man can't walk anymore. You don't need to make such a fuss."
The older this old man gets, the more he refuses to accept old age.
Xia Zekai didn't care about his grandfather and walked in with a smile.
Just after sending his grandfather and grandpa into the house, when Xia Zekai came out to get his luggage, he didn't expect someone outside to call him: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, what a coincidence, you are back."
The visitor was afraid that he wouldn't hear, so he shouted twice.
Xia Zekai looked up and saw an acquaintance, his old neighbor Hao Shaobo, the boss of Jingcheng Kangjian Biopharmaceuticals.
Compared with the impression, he is much thinner now, at least the big belly is gone now.
He is still in his 40s, but he looks more energetic and younger than before.
"Mr. Hao, are you here to do something? Or?" Xia Zekai also stopped what he was doing and went over to say hello to him.
Hao Shaobo said with a smile: "I moved back again and bought my old house again."
He never expected such a result. Xia Zekai couldn't help but take a few more glances. Looking at his current bright and energetic appearance, he seemed to understand: "Mr. Hao, congratulations."
"Fortunately, my wife was with me. I have suffered a lot this year, but fortunately, the new drug developed by our company has finally passed the review and been put on the market." Hao Shaobo said with emotion.
Last year, due to some accidents in the OEM, Jingcheng Health Biopharmaceutical suffered a lot. In order to pay off the debt, he even sold the villa in the Honolulu villa area of Jingcheng, and then the debt was settled.
Hearing what Hao Shaobo said, Xia Zekai was sincerely happy for him.
"Mr. Hao, congratulations." Xia Zekai smiled and shook hands with him.
Hao Shaobo said: "Mr. Xia just came here this time, I haven't seen you during this time."
Xia Zekai smiled and shook his head and said, "I came here in July, but I have been wandering around outside during this time."
"So that's it, Mr. Xia is really enviable." Hao Shaobo said.
He didn't mean it as a compliment, but that's what he thought in his heart.
For example, he is very rich now, but he cannot walk around like Xia Zekai.
"Mr. Xia, when do you have time? I'll treat you to a meal." Hao Shaobo asked.
Xia Zekai wanted to refuse, but the last time he met Hao Shaobo, he had said that he would treat him to dinner.
"Mr. Hao, tomorrow, I'll treat you then." Xia Zekai said with a smile.
He was rejected by Hao Shaobo as soon as he finished speaking: "No, no, I'll treat you. We've been neighbors for two years, and it's fate. We haven't sat down to have a meal yet."
After getting the promise, Hao Shaobo left first.
Xia Zekai took the luggage inside.
"Zekai, what are you busy with? Why did you come in?" Luo Xiyun asked him.
Xia Zekai told his wife what he had just met with Hao Shaobo, and finally said: "This Mr. Hao is quite powerful."
"It's really amazing. He has turned around in just one year." Luo Xiyun was also impressed.
"Daughter-in-law, why don't you go to dinner tomorrow?" Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun thought for a while but refused: "I'm watching the five girls at home. You can go over."
After hearing what his wife said, Xia Zekai stopped worrying about this matter.
Unexpectedly, today was quite busy. While Xia Zekai and the others were having dinner, he also received a call from Ma Yun.
Ma Yun told Xia Zekai on the phone to hurry up and shoot a "Little Love Classmates" commercial.
This matter was agreed upon in advance. Xia Zekai asked his two daughters and they were quite interested in filming commercials.
The person who actually shot the commercial was arranged by Jack Ma, and he was a professional from Alibaba Pictures, so he had no problem making movies.
Ever since Yatou and Tongtong knew they were going to shoot a commercial, they had been looking forward to it and couldn't sleep at night.
Time is a good thing, it can smooth out many ravines, and it can also brew many miracles.
While Xia Zekai was enjoying family happiness, the outside world was not peaceful.
This year's economic development has shown an obvious downward trend after a period of flatness. At the same time, a new term appeared this year called "opium from the same industry."
It's a bit like looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst.
For example, in the domestic financial industry, in order to achieve this year's profit target, the Treasury Department began to use tens of billions of funds to raise bonds at the end of last year, which was enlarged tenfold, with a total scale of about 100 billion.
There was a profit during the period, and with the increase in funds, we were able to make a profit by the end of the month and complete the entire year's task.
By the beginning of next month, the estimated CPI had dropped by about 2.0%, and the central bank was likely to cut interest rates, so the capital department once again enlarged the scale tenfold and placed inter-bank holdings on behalf of others. In a short period of time, the profit was almost half of the bank's half-year profit.
.
But who would have known that something unexpected would happen, and under the same expectations, financial peers were frantically expanding assets, enlarging leverage, playing with asset duration, and raising the beneficiary rights of securities and trusts. Under such circumstances, a financial crisis suddenly struck.
Many people did not expect this kind of thing to happen, and a good operation method was taken advantage of.
When Xia Zekai saw this news report on TV at night, he couldn't laugh or cry. At this time, he was in a money shortage.
In addition, something very interesting happened.
Bitcoin, a virtual currency that many domestic economists are not optimistic about, started a new round of bottoming out in July and August after the price of a single coin fell below US$100 in June this year.
It reached an all-time high of more than 200 US dollars a month.
Moreover, looking at its upward trend, Bitcoin is still rising rapidly. This result directly slaps many domestic economic experts in the face.
I have to say that this incident became the biggest joke of the year.
But these things had little impact on Xia Zekai, and even the continued rise of Bitcoin brought him more profits.
But he has no better way to deal with the "money shortage". He can only think of ways to develop the company well, hold on to a large amount of cash flow and high-quality assets, and wait for the assets to appreciate after the cyclical reversal.
Because of this, he had a long discussion with his wife that night and said a lot to her.
On the second day, Xia Zekai and Hao Shaobo had dinner together.
While eating, Hao Shaobo mentioned something. He asked Xia Zekai if he was interested in investing in Jingcheng Kangjian Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
"Why?" Xia Zekai asked this question.
Ordinarily, given Hao Shaobo's character, it would be difficult for him to accept external capital after what happened last year. What Xia Zekai didn't expect was that he took the initiative to find himself this time.
"Mr. Xia, to be honest, the research and development of new drugs requires funds, and it is a lot of funds. I can't support it alone, but I guarantee that Jingcheng Kangjian Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is definitely a company with great development potential." Hao Shaobo said this.
of.
Xia Zekai has great trust in Hao Shaobo's character, but business investment is not about two people having a meal and talking a few words. You just have to like me.
He said: "Mr. Hao, look at this, regarding investment matters, how about I introduce you to Kaiyun Investment?"
"Who is Kaiyun Investment?" Hao Shaobo did not refuse directly, he asked one more question.
Xia Zekai said with a smile: "My wife and I registered an investment company together. Don't worry, there will be no problems with funds."
"Okay!" Hao Shaobo agreed.
He knew in his heart that this was Xia Zekai in disguise investing in their company, and for Hao Shaobo, that was the end of the matter.
He returned to the villa area of Honolulu with Hao Shaobo. After the two separated, Xia Zekai told his wife about investing in health biopharmaceuticals that night.
Luo Xiyun laughed at that time: "Zekkai, we have discussed investing in health biopharmaceuticals before. At that time, Boss Hao didn't seem to accept investment, but I didn't expect that now he would come to your door."
"The business environment this year is very difficult." Xia Zekai said with emotion.
