Hearing that Huang Wei's family moved to Xiangjiang, Li Anran also felt it was a bit of a coincidence. "What do their parents do? Why do they go to work in Xiangjiang?"
Wu Tian looked around and saw no one around, so he whispered in Li Anran's ear, "I heard that her parents When I went to Xiangjiang to open a company and do business, Huang Wei had no choice but to go with me."
To open a company and do business? In this era, who from the mainland can go to Hong Kong to open a company and do business? ! Li Anran was convinced that Huang Wei's parents must have been sent out by the government. As for whether they were really doing business or doing something else through business, only they knew.
In order to compete with the increasingly terrifying Great White Bear and to climb out of the pit of the Vietnam War, Aramco Secretary of State Henry Kissinger contacted the senior officials of the Dragon Kingdom through secret channels, which ultimately led to the Aramco The meeting between the leaders of the Dragon Kingdom set the tone for reconciliation between the Dragon Kingdom and Aramco, and also started the great process of the Dragon Kingdom's reform and opening up.
Although the relationship between the two countries is thawing, it does not mean that Aramco has completely relaxed its vigilance against Dragon Kingdom. Economic sanctions have not been lifted much, and Dragon Kingdom has no products that can be marketed around the world in exchange for foreign exchange. At this time, Longguo's foreign exchange reserves were only a pitiful US$100 million, and most of the country's population was still struggling below the poverty line.
In order to exchange for foreign exchange and purchase materials urgently needed by the country to develop the economy, Longguo opened many companies in Xiangjiang, its only window to the outside world. In order to avoid Aramco's sanctions, these companies were all set up in private names, and this was probably the case for Huang Wei's parents as well.
After chatting with Wu Tian for a while, Li Anran said goodbye and drove to the courtyard of the film factory, where he loaded all the remaining ancient calligraphy and paintings into the car. There are still dozens of boxes left, all of which are gold and US dollars, and they can only be placed here temporarily.
I rechecked the sealing of the box and found no problems, so I covered the entire box with a raincloth. If there is no accident, he will not come into this room for a long time.
After checking twice and feeling that there was no problem, I locked the door.
After locking the courtyard door, he was about to get in the car when he saw Zhang Debiao and a girl coming back. Li Anran also knew that girl, she was Hu Minghui's roommate Tong Zhuo.
"An Ran, why are you here?" Zhang Debiao ran over and opened his arms as if to hug him from afar.
"Get out of here, it seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time." Li Anran dodged in feigned disgust and kicked him, but Zhang Debiao also dodged it.
The two of them were laughing and joking for a while, then Tong Zhuohuo opened the courtyard door and turned around to greet them, "Would you like to come in?"
"Let's talk to you two brothers. Let's go again." Zhang Debiao reached out and pulled Li Anran.
"Aren't you going to set up a stall today?" The two walked in side by side. Li Anran put his arm on Zhang Debiao's shoulder and asked as they walked.
"Today it's our turnI took a break and went to the post office with Zhuo Zhuo just now. She sent some money to her family. "When the two of them entered the yard, they saw Tong Zhuomo carrying a basin, which was full of clothes that he had changed out of. It looked like he was going to wash them.
When they saw that the clothes in the basin were all men's, Li Anran understood immediately and couldn't help but poke Zhang Debiao with his elbow and whispered, "Not bad, the clothes are washed now. "
The acne on Zhang Debiao's face shone in the sunlight, and his eyes were full of happiness, "She thinks I can't clean it...smoking. "While speaking, he took out a labor brand cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.
Li Anran took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, picked up a stool and sat aside, "De Biao, let me tell you something. thing. ”
“Tell me, what’s the matter?” "Zhang Debiao also moved a stool and sat side by side with Li Anran.
"I will go to Xiangjiang University as an exchange student next semester. "
Hearing this, Zhang Debiao almost dropped the cigarette in his mouth, his face full of disbelief, "What the hell? Exchange student...Xiangjiang University? Why haven't I heard about exchange students? Aren’t there exchange students only for sophomores? ”
In the past few years, Longguo signed educational exchange agreements with several Western countries, which included international students and exchange students. As the top university in Longguo, Jingshi University has publicly sponsored study abroad and exchange students every year The number of places for students is very small, so the competition is still very fierce.
It’s not surprising that Zhang Debiao is surprised. According to regulations, exchange students should go out for one year and then return to China to continue their studies. I have never heard of him going out as an exchange student in the next semester.
Tong Zhuozhou, who was washing clothes next to him, also stopped and turned to look over.
This chapter is not finished yet. Continue reading on next page
“How do I know? I just received a notice two days ago that I will be leaving for the Chinese New Year. "
Zhang Debiao was stunned for a while, full of envy, "I'll go, you kid is doing well. "
Next to him, Tong Zhuozhou stopped doing laundry and moved a stool over, "Li Anran, doesn't that mean I won't be able to see you for a year? No, it should be a year and a half, right? "
"I don't know. According to the regulations, I should be back in my junior year. "Li Anran really doesn't know the arrangements above. Until now, he is like a puppet on strings. He will do whatever others say.
"Don't tell everyone about my going out yet. I’ll treat you to dinner in a good year, and I’ll make an announcement then. By the way, I put some sundries in that house. Please be careful and don't attract thieves. "Li Anran pointed to the storage room in the backyard.
"I know. Zhang Debiao threw away the cigarette butt with some reluctance and said, "An Ran, I heard that Xiangjiang is quite chaotic. You should pay attention to your safety there alone. If you encounter something, just be patient and pass." ”
How chaotic Hong Kong is. Many people in later generations can only get a glimpse of it from movies. The actual situation is worse than what is shown in the movies.Much more serious.
The population composition of Xiangjiang is very complex. The aborigines are only a small part. Some of them escaped during the liberation. There are also hundreds of thousands of mainlanders who smuggled across the country on a large scale in the past few years. They fled during the Vietnam War. South Vietnamese and others. Because of the complex source of personnel, this has also brought great development to the underworld in Hong Kong.
There are more than a hundred well-known gangs, large and small. The three most famous ones are 14K, Xin Ngee Ann, and He Shenghe. The number of members of these three gangs exceeds one hundred thousand. It is said that they have branches all over the world, and the total number of gangs is as high as one million, which is an exaggeration.
It is unimaginable that on a small island, there are more than 5 million people in total, and there are 500,000 to 600,000 underworld gangs. How can public security be so good? Although the situation of collusion between police and criminals has improved slightly after the Xiangjiang Police Station was reorganized, the security situation is still not optimistic.
"Well, I understand. When I go there, I will just be a turtle and try not to go out."
"It's nonsense, that's not the case."
After chatting for a few words, Li Anran separated from them, drove home, and delivered the boxes in the car to the south study room.
Zhao Yunhai’s eyes almost fell to the ground when he saw the dozen boxes he had brought in, “Where did they come from?”
“Hey, it’s really hard to tell you. . It was said that the young generals ransacked the house a few years ago and fell into the hands of a friend of mine. I will take it back."
"Isn't it now a policy to return it if it is found? If the owner is lost, won't you lose both your life and property?" Zhao Yunhai opened a box, pushed aside the straw mat, took out a porcelain bottle, and looked at it carefully.
"Don't worry, they are all ownerless. Lao Zhao, take a look, how is the quality of the goods?" Li Anran picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. After drinking, he took the iron tongs He poked at the briquette stove and when he stood up, he realized that Zhao Yunhai was standing still, as if he was dumbfounded. "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
"This is a Kangxi blue and white underglaze red vase. The glass has strong texture and is well preserved. It is a very rare good thing." Zhao Yunhai took a purple light and inspected it carefully. , shaking his head frequently and sighing, "What a good thing."
Li Anran took out another white porcelain bottle from the cave, "Where is this thing?"
Zhao Sihai put down the Kangxi blue and white glaze He took the red bottle and took the white porcelain bottle. After looking at it carefully, his expression felt a little wrong. "An Ran, this bottle is a bit interesting. If I'm not mistaken, it should be produced by Jiexiu kiln in Shanxi Province. It's basically rare to see it on the market now."
After looking at it for a while, he sighed. He put it down gently, took off his glasses and asked, "An Ran, I heard that you are going to Xiangjiang University to study in the Chinese New Year? Donate the restored Corded Reel to the museum before you go."
"You sir Just make the decision yourself," Li Anran said nonchalantly.
The things found in the city bureau warehouse were originally agreed to be donated to the museum, so Li Anran didn't take them to heart. To be honest, he was shopping for these ancient calligraphy and paintingsMainly to preserve value, the RMB depreciated too fast. Within a few years, the exchange rate of the US dollar dropped nearly three times. The items he collects now will be worth more than hundreds of thousands thirty years from now, so there is really nothing wrong with donating a little.
