Investment Life - Chapter 199

“Is your father healthy?”

“Well, the operation was very successful. The situation has stabilized these past few days, but it cannot be separated from people.”

Xiao Junyi’s voice was a bit hoarse, as if overworked. This is the first time Chen Yuanming has contacted people in just a few days. Just listening to the sound, his condition may be worse than expected.

“You also need to pay attention to your body, don’t recover from the old man, you’re broken again …”

“The family is very busy, and both the big brother and father are preparing for the October conference. The mother is left in the family. She is not too young. It is not a problem if you get tired of it, and …” Xiao Junyi paused and took a soft breath. “I don’t stay in the ward, I really can’t relax.”

The sound coming from the receiver was full of bitterness, like some kind of silent confession. Chen Yuanming tightened his fingers. This sudden funeral changed more than just a life track. Sighing in the bottom of his heart, he slowed his tone, “I’m always there if needed.”

The voice on the phone stopped for a moment, “Thank you for coming with me …”

“I want to be with you now.”

Chen Yuanming’s voice was firm and gentle, but also contained a little pain that was not easy to detect. Xiao Junyi opened his mouth and was unable to answer.

There was only a buzzing electronic tone on the phone.

In the end, Chen Yuanming opened his mouth first. “Pay attention to your body. My mobile phone will always be by my side and you can contact me at any time. You go to sleep well before you wake up.”

“Ok.”

“good night.”

“good night.”

Good night to each other, but the phone did not hang up for a long time, until Xiao Junyi pressed the end key two minutes later. The screen of the mobile phone went dark. He held the mobile phone for a long time, and finally leaned over his body and lay down on the sofa.

Grief, remorse, numbness, burnout … One emotion after another swept through the body, and finally there was a jailer named “guilt”, who tortured him day and night. The trip to the United States was arranged by his mother and uncle, but no one knew better than himself what exactly he experienced in the United States. Fantastic joy only adds to the shadow of death.

Even more deadly than this is the trivial details that have been slowly recalled recently. An old lady who never asks her children about marriage, why do they suddenly think of a marriage? Ask yourself again and again with a longing look. Whether she was in the midst of it, she had long noticed that her life was about to reach the end, but she couldn’t wait for her grandson who had grown up on her knees to wait for him to become a family. However, he didn’t satisfy such a small desire, but chose to deceive like a joke.

Thinking deeper, even if he knew the funeral in advance, would he choose to satisfy his grandmother’s wishes? He does have a lover, but this person cannot be brought before his family.

Until this moment, unprecedented torment was surging. It’s like standing in the middle of the Dumuqiao, with his family on one side and his lover on the other, but the crumbling logs underneath him. The problems I once envisioned are too superficial.

In order to get rid of such guilt and avoid the painful torture, he put all his thoughts on his grandfather, exhausting almost all his energy. I thought it would be better to do this, but when the phone rang today, another kind of pain hit my heart.

Chen Yuanming said he wanted to stay with him.

Reaching out to cover his eyes, Xiao Junyi closed his eyes tiredly. What was once thought to be as hard as a rock is just a fragile soap bubble, which will explode and smash in a single poke. But he can’t deceive himself. He misses Chen Yuanming. Even if he is in pain, even if he is guilty, he misses his lover and wants to draw warmth from the other person.

Feeling a little wet in the palm, Xiao Junyi didn’t let down his hand. After a long inhalation and breathing, the body’s tremor slowly calmed down, just like falling into a cozy false cymbal …

Chen Yuanming kept his promise and did not leave Beijing for half a month, but the first meeting between the two was at work. After preliminary negotiation, Netscape sent a special person to China to sign an agreement with Anxin. As the person in charge, Xiao Junyi was also among them.

Only when he saw Xiao Junyi again, Chen Yuanming shuddered. Not seen for more than ten days, the man seemed to be losing weight. The self-confidence vitality turned into a depressing calmness, and his eyes had lost the joke and enthusiasm, except for the smile on his lips, like a change It seems personal.

Since it is a workplace, the two did not communicate too much, but only held business meetings and consultations, paving the way for the cooperation between the two companies. This meeting went quite smoothly. After all, Netscape’s intervention was a great help to the development of Anxin’s mobile phone business, not to mention the tempting suggestion of building a mobile phone system platform. Three days later, the prototype of the agreement was officially launched.

After signing the agreement, the preparations for the banquet began intensively, but the two principals were nestled in the office, and the curtains were closed, as if discussing something important.

“You look much thinner.” Chen Yuanming’s eyes flashed intolerance as his fingertips passed across the other’s sunken cheeks.

Xiao Junyi smiled, “This day and night are upside down, just go back and raise them.”

The smile didn’t reach his eyes. Chen Yuanming sighed softly, “Grandpa has been discharged?”

“Well, I just don’t want to go back to the nursing home. I’m afraid of touching the scene.” Speaking of his grandfather, Xiao Junyi’s eyes were a little dim. “No one expected that the old man would collapse so thoroughly. The old lady almost died when she died. It ’s okay in front of people. When no one is there, they look at the window and shed tears. They have told me many times because of him. The old lady has suffered so many crimes and walked ahead. ”

A few words, but there is endless bitterness. This is still the old man with an imposing manner and the spirit of the Republic. He is just an ordinary widow.

Chen Yuanming didn’t speak, and embraced her lover’s shoulder. It is now July, and the two are not wearing thick. The heat of the skin is snuggled together through a thin shirt. Like being infected by heat, Xiao Junyi slowly lowered his head, leaning on Chen Yuanming’s shoulders, his arms tightened, as if a drowning man was holding the driftwood on his side.

auzw.com A low-pitched voice came from my ear, “I totally forgot about your existence that day, and I did n’t realize that you were not there the next day. Then I wanted to forget those days in the United States, I want to deceive myself, I want to eliminate the pain and guilt that goes with the shadows … I didn’t realize I couldn’t do it until I heard your voice. “

Word by word, painful, but very clear.

“It’s like a dilemma. There is no standard or correct answer. After thinking about it for a long time, I only saw it a little bit. For the sake of ease, I deceived and concealed, and only lost more, more than irreparable. situation……”

Chen Yuanming was shocked and wanted to raise his head, but Xiao Junyi pressed it tightly in his arms, almost unable to move.

“So, I don’t want to struggle anymore. Instead of lingering and suffering, I’d rather choose something more real.” There was a force in that dull voice, the deeper and deeper the pressure, the heavier it was, Those that I haven’t seen before–blessings from friends, family approvals, marriages, and vows–are like the life of a grandfather and an old lady, like a half-life companionship between my parents. “

As if a thunder exploded in his ears, Chen Yuanming found that his body was so stiff that he could not move even a knuckle. He had imagined that this death would change Xiao Junyi and even the relationship between the two, but never thought it would become what it is now.

“I have found the person I should look for in this life, so I shouldn’t let go of it anymore. Chen Yuanming, I want to take you to my family and use another identity and another way.”

“You …” Chen Yuanming’s throat seemed to be choked, and he couldn’t make a sound even if he tried hard. He has become accustomed to sneaking and living, and is ready to repeat this process in his life. Today’s happiness is beyond imagination, he does not intend to rush to break this wonderful illusion.

What about the family? What about public opinion? What about the impact on your career? How could he easily take this step …

The hug around the body was relaxed, but still tight. Chen Yuanming saw the peach eyes that were close at hand. Those eyes no longer looked like a carefree young man. With pain, responsibility, and the grind brought by growth, he also had unspeakable seriousness. Decisive.

“Maybe not now. Maybe wait until the old man recovers, wait until the dust of the conference is settled, wait until your younger brother who has long been thinking about the world, wait until both of us and our family are ready. Then I want to Your hand is standing brightly in front of your family and telling them that I have a lover who wants to spend a lifetime together. “

Xiao Junyi raised the corners of his lips, revealing a tiny and real smile. “Chen Yuanming, I love you. Are you willing to change your identity and stand in front of those whom I also love?”

Like the mud-carved woodcarving, Chen Yuanming failed to make a move for a long time. His nasal cavity seemed to be blocked, and the corners of his eyes were irritated with uncontrollable enthusiasm. If it wasn’t for clenching his teeth, his teeth might be rattling like his trembling body.

Does he need to take this step? Need to get out of this safe narrow cabinet for a name and an identity, need to show your “morbidity” to the world, and bear the endless accusations and discrimination? However, looking at Xiao Junyi’s serious expression, those fears, those uneasiness, and those things that kept him from moving slowly melted, like the thin snow on a warm spring day.

In the end, his throat trembled, and he reached out and held Xiao Junyi’s hand firmly, the hot body temperature blending in each other’s palms.

“it is good.”

——————————

After completing the agreement with Netscape, Chen Yuanming finally did not choose to stay this time, but flew directly to Australia. After more than a month of negotiations, the agreement between Yuanyang Group and the two mining companies came to an end. Yuanyang continued to inject $ 80 million into Northern Mining, and acquired 45% of the shares of Northern Mining for a total of $ 200 million twice before and after.

Rio Tinto’s situation is more complicated, and its main shareholders are from Japan and Europe and the United States. Because of the huge fluctuation of copper this time, some scattered investors have retreated. The Sumitomo Group, which holds up to 15% of Rio Tinto’s shares, is experiencing the most severe internal turbulence in the past decade. In the copper futures alone, it has lost more than $ 5 billion in assets, even for this behemoth. The pain was a little slow.

With this opportunity, Yuanyang Group did not hesitate to win Rio Tinto’s 5% stake for US $ 600 million after several rounds of drag-and-drop negotiations. This is the largest investment since Yuanyang was founded, but Chen Yuanming is extremely satisfied with the huge cost. We must know that in 2008, Chinalco spent US $ 14 billion to obtain a 12% stake in Rio Tinto. It also set off a wave of soaring metal prices. Nowadays, if not for the plunge of copper prices, China’s monster-like steel throughput capacity will also be The unspoken moment, wanting to invest in Rio at this price, is simply whimsical. When Rio Tinto chooses to annex Northern Mining in a few years, it will be his second opportunity to venture into Rio.

He settled the mergers and acquisitions in the mineral industry and did not stay in Australia for long. Recently, his molybdenum, the western Henan molybdenum mine, is negotiating a long-term agreement with Baosteel. In fact, Baosteel originally had an agreement with the molybdenum mine in Shaanxi Province. The development of his own mining industry and cooperation with large steel mills are always indispensable. The recent Australian layout also constitutes new capital, giving him the opportunity to pry open the teeth of this steel giant.

Negotiating with state-owned enterprises is naturally indispensable for various meetings and working meals, but Chen Yuanming is surprisingly not tired of it. These days, his heart is extremely calm, and his energy and enthusiasm have been mobilized to the best state. It seems that just because of Xiao Junyi’s words, he has changed dramatically. Although fear and panic, it is also full of motivation and courage, like a spark of hope.

And this change is more sharp and talkative when it comes to work, and it really hurts the heads of state-owned enterprises. Although western Henan Kuangye is a new and immature mine, anyone can perceive its potential. The most important thing now is just how to maximize your own interests.

Negotiations were carried out intensively. After discussing the cooperation agreement, Deputy Director Xue, who was in charge of foreign affairs, always liked to talk with Chen Yuanming about metal futures and the recent Shanghai Commercial Exchange. It seemed that he wanted to pull him into the Shanghai-Shenzhen war. The quagmire, along with several other mining companies, is waving flags for Shanghai’s nonferrous and rare metals market.

Facing such an invitation, Chen Yuanming naturally had no interest, and even the director Song who was with him had been instructed by him and would not easily relax. However, after all, it is on the ground of others. If you have the heart, you can naturally find some space. Therefore, in a standardized banquet, several strange figures appeared.

“I heard that Director Li and Director Xue are entertaining VIPs here. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. I want to ask for a glass of water …”

With the hearty laughter, a big man with a big smile went into the private room. It seemed that he was the guest of honor in a casual manner. However, the factory directors here were not surprised. Director Xue also smiled and pointed to the man. “You are so far away, Xiao Guo. I haven’t seen anyone in such a long time. I should be punished with three glasses of wine!”

“Three bottles are all right!” The man laughed, “Just don’t the directors introduce the guests first?”

“I know that your drunkard is not in the wine!” Several people laughed, one of them pointed at the man and smirked at Chen Yuanming. “Xiao Chen, this is Director Guo Yang Guo of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and was recently assigned to The metal trading port can also be regarded as a comrade in our system, and it still depends on the help of this dear friend. “

“Hey ~ I dare not be a dare!” Director Guo shakes his hands again and again, but his face smiles with joy. “Come, Xiao Shen, pour the wine on the leaders. It ’s better to meet each other, so I ’ll talk to you first. ! “

In this room of laughter, Chen Yuanming’s gaze was concealed behind the man, covered by the fat figure, and in the shadow by the door, stood an old man …
