I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

After staying in the United States for another week, Li Zhe paid attention to the fluctuations in crude oil prices while inspecting the company.

The market opened again on the 11th, and crude oil prices fell slightly again, falling below $115. In the next few days, they continued to fall slightly.

Li Zhe estimates that the price of crude oil will soon fall back to around US$100, and then there will be a crash.

Because he was in the United States, he could clearly feel that the economic crisis was imminent.

The subprime financial crisis broke out in the United States last year.

On August 13, the parent company of the island nation’s second largest bank announced a loss of 600 million yen in business related to U.S. subprime mortgages.

After seeing this news, Li Zhe vaguely felt that this was a precursor to a large-scale economic crisis.

If an economic crisis does not break out this month, it will happen next month. This economic situation will not last until October.

In addition, after understanding it, Li Zhe finally understood what the subprime mortgage crisis was.

Before he was reborn, he had heard about the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, but he never quite understood what it was about.

It turns out that the so-called subprime mortgage crisis is the real estate boom. People think that housing prices will continue to rise, so they buy houses one after another.

In order to make money, banks try their best to lend money to people who buy houses, regardless of whether the borrowers can repay their mortgages.

It’s so outrageous that someone got a loan from a bank using a dog’s name.

But people in banks also know how to play this way. Once house prices fall, there will be a lot of bad debts.

So the bank sold the loan contract to the loan mortgage company.

But the people in the bank are smart, and the mortgage companies are not stupid either.

Loan mortgage companies package loan contracts into financial management products and sell them to ordinary people at the bottom.

In order to harvest more leeks, financial elites have added leverage to financial products.

Financial products that could only be sold for 100,000 yuan can be sold for 1 million, 2 million, or even more.

After figuring out what was going on with the subprime mortgage crisis, Li Zhe had to sigh, capitalist countries still know how to play!

However, just using bad debts to speculate on the financial bubble will make the bubble bigger and bigger. It would be strange not to touch the market if this continues.

Therefore, when housing prices fell in 2008, the financial system collapsed, and the economic crisis broke out.

On August 16, Li Zhe and his party left the United States and returned to China.

After returning to China, Li Zhe has been paying attention to the price fluctuations of crude oil.

Throughout late August, the price of crude oil fluctuated little, rising and falling slightly around US$115, and once rose back to US$120 on the 21st.

But this was only a short-lived recovery.

Entering September, crude oil prices began to fall.

It fell below $110 on the 2nd, and fell below $100 on the 15th.

By this time, Li Zhe was finally relieved, and the collapse of crude oil was a foregone conclusion.

On September 9, the financial market was out of control, and even the previous injections of capital by large banks could not prevent the crisis from breaking out.

At the same time, many large financial institutions collapsed and were taken over by the US government, and a large-scale economic crisis swept the world.

…

Xiao Qiao returned to Shanghai on July 30 with his father, mother, and brother Qiao.

At this time, Li Zhe had gone abroad with his young lover, personal secretary, and Zhao Jia.

Xiao Qiao's family of four came to Shanghai by plane.

It was Qiao Di Xiaojin’s first time to fly and it was very novel.

In fact, not only brother Qiao, but also father and mother Qiao were flying for the first time.

Originally, Father Qiao suggested taking the train, as train tickets are cheaper.

But Xiao Qiao insisted on taking a plane. After being with Li Zhe, she became less and less aware of money.

Mother Qiao and Xiaojin were also happy to fly.

When the plane arrived in Shanghai, a family of four walked out of the airport and saw Shen Baoshan who came to pick them up.

After getting on the Audi A8L, Mother Qiao glanced at Shen Baoshan who was driving in the front seat and asked her daughter, "How much did Xiaozhe spend on this car?"

"More than one million," Xiao Qiao said.

Listening to her daughter's casual tone, Mother Qiao couldn't help but feel something in her heart.

The car soon arrived at the Binjiang Yayuan community where Xiao Qiao's small duplex apartment was located.

Xiao Qiao opened the door, and the family of four walked into the apartment together.

"Sister, isn't your house too nice?" Xiaojin looked shocked and looked around.

A duplex with three bedrooms and two living rooms, luxuriously decorated. He had only seen such a house on TV.

Mother Qiao was also a little shocked, "Xiao Qiao, did Li Zhe really give this house to you?"

Only Father Qiao's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he was also a little shaken in his heart.

"Mom, how about I take out the house book and show it to you?" Xiao Qiao said with a smile.

She was joking, but unexpectedly Mother Qiao nodded and said, "Okay, you can take it out and show it to me later."

Shen Baoshan, who was following the family, said to Xiao Qiao: "Miss Qiao, call me anytime if you need anything."

After saying that, he left.

Xiao Qiao said to Father Qiao, Mother Qiao and Brother Qiao: "Dad, Mom, Xiaojin, let me show you around."

The family of four rested in the apartment for one night, and the next morning, they took the Audi A8L driven by Shen Baoshan to visit Qudong Group.

The person who came to the company to receive them was Li Zhe's assistant Anya.

Anya led Xiao Qiao's family of four to visit four companies: Quwan Technology, Quku Entertainment, Quyue Literature, and Qulan Culture.

After the visit, Father Qiao, Mother Qiao and Brother Qiao were all shocked.

When Father Qiao and Mother Qiao heard from their daughter that Li Zhe had several companies under his name, and one of them was very large, they didn't feel too intuitively.

But after visiting several companies, especially after coming to Quwan Technology, I saw that the company occupies two or three floors of office buildings with more than 500 employees busy, and I truly realized how powerful Li Zhe is. How strong.

The young man who behaved respectfully in front of them was already the boss of a powerful group company.

Father Qiao and Mother Qiao admired Li Zhe, the future son-in-law, but also felt a little more in awe.

Many old employees of Quwan Technology jokingly called Xiao Qiao the boss's wife when they saw her coming.

Xiao Qiao also smiled and nodded in response.

When Mother Qiao saw her, she glanced at her daughter and asked, "Xiao Qiao, has Li Zhe brought you to the company?"

Xiao Qiao smiled and said "Yeah".

"I also worked as his secretary part-time!"

After hearing this, Mother Qiao smiled even more.

She couldn't be more satisfied with Li Zhe, her future son-in-law.

Anya on the side listened to Xiao Qiao's words and couldn't help but look at her one more time. Now Li Zhe's personal friend was Liu Kaiyue.

After visiting Qudong Group, Father Qiao and Mother Qiao felt relieved about Li Zhe, their future son-in-law.

In the next more than a week, Xiao Qiao accompanied Father Qiao, Mother Qiao and Brother Qiao, and had a lot of fun in Shanghai. They visited all the good restaurants and famous attractions.

Seeing Xiao Qiao spending money lavishly, Father Qiao lectured her several times.

In Qiao's father's opinion, it is very inappropriate for his daughter to be completely attached to Li Zhe.

He advised Xiao Qiao to study hard, become independent and self-reliant, take the postgraduate entrance examination and find a better job in the future.

Don't rely on Li Zhe for everything.

But Xiao Qiao only superficially agreed to what Father Qiao said, but didn't take it to heart.

Father Qiao and Mother Qiao originally wanted to wait until Li Zhe came back to discuss the engagement with him, but Li Zhe never came back.

On August 10th, seeing that Li Zhe hadn't come back yet, Father Qiao, Mother Qiao and Brother Qiao went back to Shicheng first.

On the 16th, after Li Zhe returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he stayed with Xiao Qiao for a few days while handling the company's accumulated affairs.

After all, he had neglected the president for more than half a month, and he must make it up to her.

So, Li Zhe worked in the company during the day, and when he had nothing to do, he asked Liu Kaiyue, a little secretary, to provide personal service. In the evening, he went back to Xiao Qiao's place to discuss massage techniques with her, and then went to Zhou Ziyu's place to have a love affair before going to bed.

Anyway, the house Zhou Ziyu is renting now is very close to Xiao Qiao's apartment, only a 10-minute walk.

After discussing massage techniques with Xiao Qiao and she fell asleep from exhaustion, Li Zhe went to Zhou Ziyu's to practice yoga with her for a while, and drank a bowl of nourishing soup stewed by Zhou Qing.

After Zhou Qing stayed in Shanghai for a while, she became addicted to it, and would come to live in Shanghai for a day or two from time to time. Yuhang was also close to Shanghai, and it only took two or three hours to drive on the expressway.

Zhou Qing does not even plan to open the second milk tea shop in Hangzhou. Instead, she plans to open a shop in Shanghai and is already looking for a suitable store.

Li Zhe had a very fulfilling few days after returning to China.

I have to deal with the daily affairs of the company and spend time with my two girlfriends at the same time, which is a bit tiring.

Without the nourishing medicinal wine and the nourishing soup stewed by his mother-in-law Zhou Qing, he would really be unable to cope.

But with the help of nourishing medicinal wine and nourishing soup, Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, and Liu Kaiyue were a little unable to cope with Li Zhe.

Especially Zhou Ziyu was the most tired.

Anyone who has run a relay race knows that the last leg is the hardest and most tiring, and you have to give it your all.

On the afternoon of August 22, Li Zhe finished handling the company's affairs and did not go back to Xiao Qiao's. Instead, he got into the Audi A8L and went to the "Uncanny" crew who were filming in the suburbs.

The crew of "Uncanny" has been filming for a month and a half, and the filming should be completed in more than 20 days. Li Zhe, the investor, has not visited the studio yet, which is a bit different.

He had to find time to take a look no matter what.

Li Zhe promised that he really didn't think of going because Luan Xiaolin's long legs were on the set.

The only person traveling with Li Zhe was his driver and bodyguard Shen Baoshan.

His personal secretary, another long-legged Liu Kaiyue, did not go with him.

Liu Kaiyue flew to Tanzhou yesterday.

She hasn't been back home since her vacation, so she plans to go home for a visit and stay for two days.

Shen Baoshan drove the car smoothly. Li Zhe was a little bored sitting in the back seat, so he took out his mobile phone and looked through the sexy private photos sent by Luan Xiaolin.

She has such long legs that she would send sexy private photos to seduce him when she has nothing to do. She doesn't know how to restrain herself, so she will have to criticize her in a while.

We arrived at the filming location of the "Unexpected" crew, a deactivated gas station on the outskirts of the city.

Li Zhe discovered that the crew had not started filming yet and was in preparation. Director Xu was talking to the main actors Wang Zhining, Huo Mengyan, and Yang Hao about the scene.

Seeing Li Zhe coming, Xu Zheng stopped talking and came up with the leading actors and staff.

"Mr. Li, why didn't you say hello before you came?"

"I just came here to take a look. Director Xu, you have worked hard during this time."

Li Zhe exchanged some polite words with Xu Zheng and the main crew members, and then chatted with Wang Zhining, Huo Mengyan, and Yang Hao.

Wang Zhining and Huo Mengyan acted a little reserved. After saying hello to Li Zhe, they didn't talk much.

Yang Hao talked a lot, calling Brother Zhe one after another.

Li Zhe asked Wang Zhining and Huo Mengyan how they felt on the set in a formulaic manner. I didn't know whether I was used to it or whether I encountered any difficulties, so I didn't talk to them any more.

Both of them are artists under Quku Entertainment. As the boss of the company, he should care about them no matter what he sees.

Li Zhe mainly chatted with Yang Hao.

"Where is Zhigang?" Li Zhe looked around and found no sign of He Zhigang.

"Brother Gang is home." Yang Hao said.

He Zhigang had been working on the crew for a month, and his relationship with Huo Mengyan had not made any progress. On the contrary, he had become more and more distant, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

In addition, school was about to start, so he checked out and went home.

In fact, not only did he leave, most of Huo Lili, Ye Shan and others finished filming their scenes and left.

Currently, only the starring roles of Wang Zhining, Huo Mengyan and Yang Hao are left to be filmed.

"Li Zhe, are you here?" At this time, Luan Xiaolin walked out of the convenience store of the gas station, her cold and pretty face full of surprise.

August was the hottest time in Shanghai. Luan Xiaolin couldn't stand the heat and stayed in a convenience store with the air conditioner on to read the script. When she heard the crew talking about Li Zhe's arrival, she hurriedly ran out.

She hasn't seen Li Zhe for two months.

"Xiao Lin, you haven't left yet?" Li Zhe greeted her.

This is actually nonsense.

He has been in contact with Luan Xiaolin through text messages, and he already knew that she was still on the set.

"I want to stay on the crew longer and learn more about acting." Luan Xiaolin said with a smile.

Her scenes were filmed early, but she still stayed on the set.

Luan Xiaolin stayed on the set not only because she wanted to find a chance to meet Li Zhe, but also because she really liked acting.

You can learn a lot by staying on the set and watching others filming, especially watching veteran actors like Xu Zheng filming.

Xu Zheng is not only a director, but also plays a major role.

After chatting with Yang Hao and Luan Xiaolin for a few more words, Li Zhe began to give out red envelopes to the crew.

He didn't bring any condolences, only red envelopes.

"Unexpected Realm" is a small crew with not many people. In addition, many people finished filming and left, so there are even fewer people. Now there are only more than 30 people left.

Ordinary staff members were paid RMB 200 each, key staff members were paid RMB 500 each, the leading actors, the assistant director and executive director were each paid RMB 1,500, and director Xu Zheng was paid RMB 1,500. A total of just over RMB 10,000 was given out in red envelopes.

The red envelope is not big, it’s just meaningful.

After giving out the red envelopes, Li Zhe did not leave immediately. He planned to stay on the set for a while.

Seeing that Xu was directing Wang Zhining, Huo Mengyan, and Yang Hao in the starring roles, the staff were also busy setting up the shooting location.

It looked like it would take a while before filming could start, so Li Zhe went back to the car to rest.

But as soon as he got back to the car, within a few minutes, Luan Xiaolin opened the door and got in.
