The ceiling fan was waving all night, and my eyes were still spinning weakly.

I worked in Vietnam for a few years in my previous life. I was used to the dry season and rainy season here, and there was no difference between spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, no matter how the electric fan turned, it was not as good as the air conditioner. I would sweat a lot after sleeping.

Taking a shower, washing, changing into clean clothes, Chen's mother brought a sumptuous breakfast and taking away the dirty clothes. As soon as she picked up the bowl and drank a small sip of porridge, Liu Jiachang hurried in with her briefcase.

Memories have been completely integrated. In his consciousness, he is a little girl who grows up naked, and whether he is a brother is better than a brother.

Li Weimin pointed to the chair opposite and signaled naturally: "I didn't have breakfast, sit down and eat together. There are so many people who can't eat, and it's boring to eat alone."

“I’ve eaten it long ago.”

Liu Jiachang sat opposite him, took things out of his bag, and joked with a wicked smile: "I think eating alone is boring and it's easy to solve it. Call Lijun, and she will definitely skip class and come to accompany you."

When Li Weimin mentioned this, he was extremely depressed and asked angrily: "I'm making fun of me again?"

"It's not making fun of it, it's envy." Liu Jiachang leaned over and said seriously: "For the people, women change their lives in age, and it's not fake at all. Lijun is no longer the yellow-haired girl he used to be. She is getting more and more beautiful. If she hadn't had a engagement, I don't know how many people would pursue her."

"Has the ugly duck turned into a little swan?"

I remember that girl was really not pretty. Li Weimin was skeptical. Liu Jiachang confirmed with great exaggeration: "What are you lying to do? I heard from my dad that her mother, your mother-in-law, was a famous beauty in the Fujian Gang back then. Her mother was beautiful, so her daughter was naturally not much worse. Don't behave like a cheap person."

He was really curious about the minor fiancée Li Weimin, but he had too many things to do. He really didn't have the time and energy to think about it. He finished the porridge in two sips and put the dishes aside: "I bought the air ticket, what's the day?"

"A plane from Johor Bahru Airport is fully requisitioned to Dien Bien Phu to transport troops and arms. You can only go from Hong Kong, Manila or Singapore. Greater China Ship is just off Saigon at night. I sent a telegram to ask Jiabin to book you the day after tomorrow's flight ticket, China Airlines, Chennard's one."

It's okay to take my own steamer to Hong Kong. Li Weimin nodded slightly, picked up the information that Liu Jiachang helped to go to the China Council. While looking through it, he asked absent-mindedly: "Is Jiabin 20 this year?"

"Just celebrated your birthday last month, it's rare that you still remember."

Chaozhou people are a group of marine culture, full of vitality and vitality, flexible mind, adventurous, pioneering, daring to fight, tough folk customs, xenophobia, and typical marine character. At the same time, they respect business and value profit and penetrate into the bone marrow, and have a businessman's mind of "starving to death and not working".

There is a saying in Chaoshan area: "Safe is a big profit", which means that if the family is safe, it is equivalent to making a lot of money without losing money. From this saying, it can be seen that Chaoshan people regard making money as a yardstick for measuring the value of other things, and the concept of advocating the magic of money is relatively strong.

The Hakka people are not like this. They have strong traditional concepts and ideas. The Confucianism that respects culture and neglects business, cultivates oneself, manages the family, governs the country, and pacifies the world is deeply rooted.

They have this nursery rhyme: "Toad Luo, giggle; don't study, have no wife." They regard studying hard and getting married and getting married as a causal relationship. This sense of career choice, which is integrated into the socialization process of Hakka children from childhood.

Although the Liu family has served the Li family for several generations, the tradition of reading is still very well maintained.

Liu Jiachang went to university in Saigon, and his younger brother Jiabin went to Hong Kong and lived up to expectations and was admitted to the University of Hong Kong. According to the plans of Li Guanyun and Liu Jinghui, he will become the senior manager of the Li family in Hong Kong in the future.

The combination of Chaozhou people and Hakka people is cultivated from generation to generation, and has continued for three generations, with great Chinese characteristics.

Li Weimin didn't know the pros and cons of this family business model, but only knew that if history did not change, in the information, such as Guo Yan, Xu Weibin, Xu Cecilia Cheung, Ma Guoxuan, Xu Youzhu, Lin Xingpan, Huang Xiangfeng, Xu Liubo, Lin Laili, Ma Songyan, Zhou Qinxuan, Huang Yukun, Yang Xinghao, Zhan Shi..., and other famous Xidi rich men will become history in the next few decades.

According to statistics from the Chinese Council last year, overseas Chinese capital accounts for 80% of Vietnam's processing industry, 100% of wholesale and retail sales, 50% of retail sales, 90% of foreign trade amount, and 80% of bank credit amount, and two-thirds of the total annual investment in Vietnam.

There are more than 30 banks in Saigon, of which 24 are run by overseas Chinese, controlled or held shares; there are 11,792 businesses in Vietnam, and there are 8,225 companies in Xiti, and they are involved in industry.

In major industries such as textiles, steel and chemicals, overseas Chinese account for 80%. Among the 18 companies in Vietnam with operating volumes of more than 3 billion Piast (South Vietnamese currency), overseas Chinese account for ten.

With a huge amount of wealth and dominates many key economic industries in Vietnam, many owners have long become billionaires, such as "Rice King", "Kerosene King", "King of Steel King", "King of Mechanical Equipment Import and Export King" and so on.

Liu Jiachang looked at the banking industry information in his hand and whispered: "Dadong Bank and Yuehua Bank have our shares, and we are the major shareholders of Chaozhou Bank, so your father is very secretive about whether to leave or stay, and dare not reveal the news, otherwise it will be easy to be run."

Although the United States will not send troops in a short period of time, it will provide a large amount of assistance.

In the near future, South Vietnam's foreign exchange reserves will surpass those of the United Kingdom, and South Vietnam's Piast will become a very strong currency. The days of making money are at a later date. Not to mention that you don't plan to leave, even if you leave, it will not be in the present.

Li Weimin put down the information and asked quietly: "Where is the Bank of East Asia?"

Liu Jiachang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After your grandfathers split up, the business of Changfang Changzhi was mainly in Vietnam. Hong Kong fell again. The Japanese army issued military tickets, but the bank had no business at all. It was closed for a few years and it was already in name only. Your father and my father discussed a few days ago whether to simply turn it off."

If you remember correctly, the Hong Kong and British governments will be stricter in the supervision of banks. It is easy to turn off banks, but it will be difficult to open them again. In the next few decades, there will be fewer and fewer banks in Hong Kong, and they will only be unable to close them.

How could Li Weimin watch the first Chinese bank in Hong Kong close? He said without doubt: "Don't close it for the time being, I will take over after I come back from the United States."

"You are going to Hong Kong?"

"If I had found a professional banker, if I had done everything myself, my dad and your dad would have been exhausted!"

Liu Jiachang couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, you are the eldest young master. You will be handed over these family businesses to you sooner or later. You can do whatever you want."

"It's not that I want to make trouble, it's a pity to turn it off."

Li Weimin smiled and pondered: "The war situation in the north is not good, and the chaos in the south is in chaos. People have no confidence in the French and probably have no confidence in Piast. Jiachang, you run outside every day. Are there any exchanges on the black market for US dollars? What is the exchange rate of the black market now?"

"There are too many. The official price is 1 USD to 35 Piast. The black market has fallen to 1 USD to 45 to 48 Piast. Several bank shareholders are having a headache. Your father was planning to go to the club, but when he was about to go out, he was invited by Manager Chen because of this."

Li Weimin didn't want to miss this opportunity. He pretended to be pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked up and said, "The lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the French are not as soon as they are finished. Besides, the French are finished and there are Americans. I will turn around and tell my dad, try every means to raise some dollars and send a few people to the black market, and exchange as much as possible."

Liu Jiachang was stunned and said with a hilarious cry: "Young Master, you are not defeated by you, you can change as much as you can. The risk is too great, and your father won't agree even if he beats him to death."

An opportunity is once a lifetime, and Li Weimin doesn't want to take care of Li Guanyun for money like yesterday. After weighing the pros and cons, he resolutely said: "The bold ones are to death, and the timid ones are to starve to death, they dare not do it myself!"

"Do you have money?"

"I can raise funds if I don't have money, and I can borrow."

Li Weimin paused, leaned into his ear and smiled sly, "What I said now doesn't mean it doesn't matter, it doesn't mean it doesn't matter if it's said in the future. So, everyone's business is here, so it should be fine to borrow one or two million dollars."

He can really borrow it, the consequences of borrowing will be very serious.

Liu Jiachang was stunned and was about to speak, but Li Weimin continued: "Boss Wu, Boss Qian and Boss Zhang asked me to walk around more with their son. Please call me from house to house and ask them to come out to gather. Don't tell my dad about raising funds and borrowing money, and I don't have time, so you will be responsible for the black market after raising money."

"You're really doing it?"

"Don't worry, I can't lose."

"No, I can't hide such a big deal from them."

"Jiachang, if you tell them that I broke up with you!"

It is a tradition of the Li and Liu families that must unite among their peers. From the moment they were born, they were destined to work hard together. Liu Jiachang could only support him with his teeth and stared at him with his eyes and asked, "Where will I be a collector after I change, right?"

There will be too many investment opportunities in the next few years.

Li Weimin replied without thinking: "After changing, we set up a company in private, find a way to stock up on some oil cloth, and then find a factory to process it into a tent. It must be bigger and strong. A tent must be able to live in at least one family, and it can be used for at least one year."

Thinking of Dien Bien Phu, who was fighting, Liu Jiachang suddenly reacted and pointed to the north and asked, "Do you mean the refugees will go south?"

"It's almost the same as if you are ten or ten. Prepare more and sell it to the government at that time. The prices of other things are transparent, and too much rise is like making money from the national crisis. It's best to sell tents. Moreover, tents may not be able to be bought in a short while."

"Okay, I'll give it a try and have a bet with you."

Liu Jiachang remembered what happened last night and suddenly changed the subject: "For the people, what happened to you last night? Telling those things to the students is like a revolutionary party."

Li Weimin sighed and said worriedly: "Jiachang, you have been in Saigon. You are very clear that Vietnam's nationalist thoughts are like an erupting active volcano. No one knows how big or long the slurry that endangers our lives and property will spray on our heads. I don't want to do any revolution, I just want to save my life. Save my own life, family life, friends life, and fellow villagers. Now prepare for the future and don't be caught off guard in the future."

"If you are poor, you will be able to protect yourself; if you are rich, you will be able to help the world?"

"It's not as great as you say, you just want to do something within your ability."

None of the Li family is safe. Li Guanyun stayed in Saigon and had no choice but to stay in Saigon to take care of business. One of his uncles died when the national army died in the battlefield of the War of Resistance against Japan, the other went to Myanmar to help transport anti-Japanese war materials and disappeared, and the other was said to have gone to Yan'an. There was no news over the years, and I don't know whether it was death or life.

It is normal for him to make things happen. Liu Jiachang was silent for a moment and whispered: "For the people, I don't know what you want to do, but I will fully support you. It will take several months to go to the United States. If you have anything, you can tell me."

"Thanks."

"Thank you what you said between you and me."

"Okay," Li Weimin patted his arm and said thoughtfully: "Help me find an inconspicuous place to gather for students. Amin's child is very clever, and you will understand by saying it to him."
