Chapter 744

Auntie Wang and Liu Ganshi returned to Li Ye's house, first expressing their apologies, and then chatted for a while before leaving.

After they left, his sister Li Yue said angrily to Fu Guiru, "That person didn't come back to apologize at all. Xiao Yu already said you were her mother-in-law, yet he still came back to pry and ask questions; he really is meddlesome."

Fu Guiru shook her head slightly and said, "You are wrong, Xiao Yue. This is his duty. Twenty years ago, I was much more formidable than him; whenever I encountered someone of unknown origin, it wouldn't be over until they accounted for their ancestors back eight generations."

"."

Well, so even you, this militia captain, had times when you were annoying!

Li Yue looked at her mother in silence for a long time before muttering, "Mom, don't talk about the past; hasn't the era changed?"

"The era has changed, but some things will never change."

Fu Guiru said seriously to Li Yue, "Although you think Liu Ganshi and the others are meddling, if you had lived overseas, you would feel that this kind of vigilance is not entirely useless. Not to mention whether there are spies in this capital, just this security environment alone is world-class."

"World-class?" Li Yue said incredulously, "Mom, I saw people fighting in a group on the street the day before yesterday! This is world-class?"

"What is a group fight? That's just child's play for ordinary people," Fu Guiru smiled and said, "The business I've been running outside for the past two years has grown larger and larger, and I've encountered quite a few troublesome things. Compared to the outside, our mainland is quite good."

The mainland in the eighties was actually very contradictory; street fights were common, and tough guys like the "boss of Erlong Lake" would appear at the drop of a hat.

But it wouldn't be easy to be any worse than that; a few strangers entering a hutong couldn't escape the eyes of the elderly, and the difficulty of wanting to do something big was unknown times harder than in some overseas countries.

Let's put it this way! In the mainland, murder cases and gun cases are never closed; even if decades pass, they will remain on file, and once there is a clue, the investigation will be restarted.

But look outside; even presidents die unnaturally at the drop of a hat, not to mention those wealthy merchants targeted by vultures.

Li Ye felt worried and asked Fu Guiru in a low voice, "Mom, have you encountered trouble outside?"

Fu Guiru waved her hand dismissively, "Just small cats and dogs, not worth mentioning."

Li Ye thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Mom, why don't you run an overseas security company? When we didn't have much money before, no one paid attention to us, but in the future, as we have more money, the situations we need to face will become increasingly complex."

Fu Guiru smiled and said, "I was talking to Xiao Yu about this this morning! Don't you worry! Your mother might not be as good as you at making money, but when it comes to military struggle... you are not as good as me."

"Discussing it with Xiao Yu?"

Li Ye looked at his young wife in surprise.

Li Ye had already had the idea of a security company two years ago.

Two years ago, Li Ye had Jiang Hong select a group of reliable youths to learn English through cramming, and then sent them abroad to gain experience to deal with future dangers.

Now it seems that his mother, Fu Guiru, had the same idea; expanding wealth also requires expanding force to support it.

And Li Ye suddenly felt that the former female militia captain didn't seem to feel fear or tension when facing overseas dangers, but was instead eager to try.

It's just that Li Ye didn't expect Watching Wen Leyu to be involved as well.

Watching Wen Leyu laughed, "I felt that it was finally hard to be of some help, so I discussed it with Mom."

【Is the help you're providing... 'a little bit' of help?】

Li Ye certainly wouldn't think that Watching Wen Leyu's help was just "offering advice"; he knew that decades later, several very powerful security companies in the mainland had similar backgrounds.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about me. Instead, Xiao Yu, you called me mother-in-law in front of an outsider just now—will that have any impact?"

Fu Guiru didn't care about her own affairs at all, but she attached great importance to things that might affect the young couple.

"What impact could that have?" Watching Wen Leyu said with a smile, "Mom, the situation now is different from before. Those who should know your identity already know it; why care about those who shouldn't?"

"."

Fu Guiru was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time for her to realize the meaning.

It seems that those above already knew her identity, so as she developed better and better, that little matter of leaving the country without permission back then was no longer anything.

After all, the mainland is now vigorously developing its economy and needs patriotic merchants who vigorously support national construction; those helpless actions of the past era are simply not worth mentioning.

Fu Guiru nodded slowly and said, "The situation is indeed different. A few days ago, I met some official people in Japan; they were also going long on the Japanese stock market. We exchanged ideas for a few days, and I observed that they are indeed no longer repelling people in my situation."

"Official people?"

Hearing Fu Guiru's words, Li Ye immediately thought of his junior sister, Cai Minying.

After Cai Minying returned from studying abroad, she participated in the first-generation "National Team," and it is said that she achieved success repeatedly and received praise and awards from above.

Li Ye asked again, "Mom, are you sure they are official people from the mainland? Are they going long on the Japanese stock market?"

But if you want to make a chip at the level of a 386, you don't know how many high-level technical personnel you need to mobilize.

At this time, Watching Wen Leyu also said, "Yes, many people are going to Japan to buy stocks now. As far as I know, there are two groups of people from our Zhongxin Company in Japan."

Li Ye frowned slightly, and after a moment said, "Mom, I have been analyzing the data you sent me recently. I believe that the crisis in the Japanese and American stock markets is accumulating. As the saying goes, things will reverse when they reach an extreme; we should take some measures."

Fu Guiru was startled, then asked, "Are you talking about risk hedging? Or withdrawing from the speculative market in Japan? You have to know that our current capital volume is very large; it's not easy to withdraw in a short time."

Li Ye said in a deep voice, "First, spend two to three months stopping going long, and then look for opportunities to go short, especially paying attention to the stock market in the US."

"."

Fu Guiru was very surprised because the stock markets in Japan and the US were currently soaring, and all international speculators were going long, but Li Ye had started to go short.

"Xiao Ye, are you sure?"

"How could such a thing be one hundred percent certain?" Li Ye laughed, "I just think that the US stock index has risen too much over these years,

and starting this year, the US has clearly shown signs of economic recession, which cannot support the rise of the stock market. Therefore, I believe the US stock market will face major risks, which will then implicate Japan and the whole world."

Li Ye certainly wouldn't say, "In October 1987, the US stock market will have Black Monday and then crash, which will also crash the Japanese stock market and the whole world," he just let Fu Guiru investigate and analyze it.

Fortunately, starting from August, the stock market in the US had shown danger signals, but everyone thought it was a "technical adjustment" and didn't pay attention.

Now that Fu Guiru had Li Ye's reminder, it was impossible for her not to discover this risk.

"Implicate the whole world?"

Fu Guiru couldn't help but be shocked. After trading for these few years, Fu Guiru, like Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo, had unknowingly come to believe more and more in Li Ye's economic forecasting ability.

And a risk that could implicate the whole world—wouldn't that be a financial storm?

Fu Guiru immediately said seriously, "I will go to Hong Kong tomorrow or the day after to notify Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo to cooperate in ending the long positions as soon as possible and prepare to go short."

Li Ye shook his head and said, "Why are you going to Hong Kong! Just have them both come to the capital; Xiao Yu still likes the soup you make!"

Watching Wen Leyu hurriedly said, "No, no, business is more important. Mom is handling so many things now; if she really made me soup every day, I wouldn't be able to drink it."

Fu Guiru also looked at Li Ye with some hesitation. She was not a housewife who spent all day in the kitchen, and now that she held businesses worth millions every minute, it was inevitable that she would prioritize her career.

But Li Ye glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't say I wanted Mom to make you soup all day!

But at least you should stay at home for a few days, right? You just arrived and are leaving already; Xiao Dun doesn't even recognize you as his grandmother yet. Isn't earning so much money for the sake of serving the family? I think family is always more important than career."

"."

Watching Wen Leyu wanted to say something else, but Fu Guiru smiled and picked up Xiao Dun, "Alright, my son is right; family is always more important than career. I also want to rest for a few days!"

In fact, why had Fu Guiru been working so hard outside all these years?

Of course, it was also for the family.

When she was in Malaysia, she always hoped that one day she could make the Fu Company bigger and stronger, and then return home in glory to visit Li Yue and Li Ye.

Later, helping Li Ye manage the house and earn money—wasn't that also for the wealth of their descendants?

Every time Fu Guiru came back to see Li Ye and Li Yue, she was in a very good mood. Now that Li Ye insisted on her staying for a few more days, she was more than happy to do so!

【This is not me being lazy; losing money is your loss.】

After Xiao Dun was picked up by Fu Guiru, he immediately pointed outside the courtyard gate, "Candied hawthorn, candied hawthorn..."

"Oh, there are no candied hawthorns right now; how about Grandma takes you to buy some peaches to eat?"

Fu Guiru held her grandson, went out, and strolled along the way. She walked for half a day without realizing it, but miraculously didn't feel tired, and was in an excellent mood.

"Drink soda, drink soda..."

Xiao Dun started kicking his short legs again, and drool flowed onto Fu Guiru's clothes.

"Soda can't be drunk; it will bloat your stomach."

"Bad Grandma, Bad Grandma..."

"."

"Sigh~, it seems I have to come back and stay for a few days often; otherwise, this little sapling won't be able to grow straight."
