Chapter 0266 The first Miss Xiangjiang final scene
Decades later, the United States was unilateral and playing priority, and the US dollar appreciated, and other currencies and gold depreciated; but in this era, the US dollar depreciates, other currencies are unpredictable, gold appreciates, and it is a significant appreciation.
The Hong Kong dollar and the pound were decoupled and changed to a exchange rate of one dollar against 5.65 Hong Kong dollars, which was pegged to the US dollar because the pound depreciated regardless of other currencies in the Commonwealth Economic Zone.
However, this adjustment cannot fundamentally solve the problem. The US dollar is depreciating, which is nothing more than the depreciation is relatively easy to analyze and predict.
In this case, coupled with the fact that Hong Kong dollar has completely abolished foreign exchange controls this year, the depreciation trend of the Hong Kong dollar is very obvious.
The Hong Kong government is helpless about this issue.
Because, in the past few years when the Hong Kong dollar was still pegged to the pound, the Hong Kong government took the initiative to defend the value of the Hong Kong dollar after the pound depreciated, but it was thankless and wasted the warehouse financial resources.
Therefore, as the fuel and flower fertilizer of society, the lower class can only accept their fate.
Even if someone realizes that it can maintain value by buying gold, it doesn’t make sense.
The rise in gold prices in Xiangjiang is really too fast, even hitting a record high. Now it is more than 700 Hong Kong dollars, one or ninety-ninety gold, and ordinary people can't even get through the threshold.
Gao Xian uses the "Value Treasure" fund to allow this group to participate in gold investment with flexible strategies, which is of great merit.
After Gao Yi started his own financial company, his operational methods were indeed more down-to-earth. For example, if a customer purchases a "value treasure" fund for his children's education, he will get discounts.
This is exactly what residents of "Taohuayuan Estate" care about.
Under Gao Xian's influence, these people have already engraved their emphasis on their children's education in their bones. At this stage, the Hong Kong government has only achieved six years of compulsory education in primary schools, and the cost of middle schools is still to be borne by themselves.
Gao Xian, who had a deep understanding of the heart, finally made a statement, "As long as everyone asks the children to study hard, they can join the Gao Group after they graduate from high school."
As soon as this statement was spoken, it immediately caused a burst of cheers and applause.
Gao Xian smiled slightly. In fact, he has always regarded these people who have moved to "Taohuayuan Estate" as soldiers to cultivate them. Otherwise, his feelings would not provide such great driving force.
In addition to visiting Qin Sumei, Zhou Yourong and other homes to inspect the "hardware" construction achievements of "Taohuayuan Estate", Gao Xian also paid special attention to the "software" management work of "Taohuayuan Estate".
As a result, Gao Xian discovered that Yi Huirong had long since built this structure that was easy to ignore but very important, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.
In other words, Yi Huirong, a virtuous assistant, has perfectly built the "Taohuayuan Estate" engraved with a high string mark into a model project.
This made Gao Xian keep shook his head and sigh on the way back. Miss Yi didn't cry or make a fuss, but just left himself alone, which really made him feel uncomfortable.
However, this kind of love for children only briefly troubles Gao Xian. As soon as he sat on the boss chair in the office, he abandoned his distractions and entered a working state to prepare for attending the shareholders' meeting of Huanyu Electronics and Shanghua Culture.
If you want to become a world-class figure, you must practice this kind of concentration to the level of perfection.
After reading Huanyu Electronics' financial statements, Yi Huiqiang arrived and asked carelessly: "BTV hosted the Miss Xiangjiang election, and the final will be held at Yi Theater. Don't you go and watch the fun?"
The right to host the Miss Xiangjiang campaign fell into BTV's hands. Gao Xian had known for a long time that Shanghua Culture is also a co-organizer, but he was not very interested in watching the fun.
So, Gao Xian pushed open the document and said lazily: "What's so good about it? I can guess even if I sit here. There must be many shortcomings in the preparation process of the first Miss Xiangjiang."
Yi Huiqiang raised his legs and quipped, "I know, my little sister went to Canada even if she didn't meet you once, which made you a little depressed. I don't want to take you to relax."
Gao Xian scolded angrily: "Since you all know that during Huirong's time when she was not in Xiangjiang, I should cultivate my mind and nature. Why did you come here to let me see the beauty pageant?"
"What's that..." Yi Huiqiang smiled embarrassedly, looked around, and saw that only she and Gao Xian were the only ones, then inquired mysteriously: "Gao Xian, tell me the truth, why did you mess with my little sister? Did you find a hidden girl in the golden house? How many of you have hidden?"
Gao Xian grabbed a roll of newspaper and smashed it at Yi Huiqiang, "Get out!, I even doubt whether you are my brother-in-law."
Yi Huiqiang caught the newspaper and said without changing his expression: "Don't think I'm spying on military information. With your ability, I just want my younger sister to like it, and I don't believe it!"
Gao Xian snorted, "Are you so idle? Go to me to be a tongue-in-law."
Yi Hui yawned locally, "I'm telling you serious. BTV has put a lot of effort into the Miss Xiangjiang campaign this time. It's not an exaggeration to say that there are many celebrities in the venue. It's definitely a good grade and will not lose your identity. Maybe you can find any business opportunities."
Gao Xian waved his hand impatiently, "If you want me to support you, just say it directly, please stop going around."
Yi Hui forced her nose and said, "Okay, I admit that I told a few friends that you have the largest oil field in the United States, but these guys didn't believe it, and laughed at me and ran the train all over my mouth."
Gao Xian said helplessly: "Brother Qiang, you are the second young master of the Yi family. Are you so bored?"
Yi Huiqiang glared at him, "When a person fights for a breath, Buddha makes a stick of incense, it is related to face, so of course you can't be careless."
"Okay, then go to the Miss Xiangjiang finals site." Gao Xian rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm really curious about what kind of fashion level can be shown in this grand event in the Hong Kong fashion circle."
...
In fact, the Miss Xiangjiang beauty pageant has a long history and can be traced back to the mid-to-late 1940s after the end of World War II.
However, the scene of the Miss Xiangjiang beauty pageant during this period was very simple, with only the participants wearing swimsuits.
More importantly, the unspoken rules are played too low, and there are many contestants who are having fun, which greatly damages the image and honor of the event.
It was not until 1952 that the United States successfully held the first Miss Universe beauty pageant that the rules in this field became formal, and Xiangjiang, who had participated, also followed suit, and the participants were all good women, and the shady scenes were not that rough, so its public recognition gradually improved.
Now that BTV has obtained the right to host the Miss Xiangjiang campaign, the development of this event will inevitably enter a new stage. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a beautiful business card for Xiangjiang.
After Gao Xian and Yi Huiqiang entered the Yi Theater, they followed the brother-in-law and headed straight to a round table next to them.
A few steps away, through the words and skin colors of the brightly dressed young men sitting around, and the knowledgeable Gao Xian could tell that they were not from Xiangjiang and should be from Southeast Asia.
"My brother-in-law, who has always been a carefree brother, has such a wide range of friendships." Gao Xian muttered to himself.
"My brother-in-law Gao Xian." Yi Huiqiang only briefly introduced Gao Xian's identity, but did not mention the names of these people. The shocking meaning was obvious.
There was a guy with dark skin who asked foolishly: "Do you have the largest oil field in the United States?"
"It is not yet determined whether it is the largest, but the daily crude oil production reaches 10,000 barrels, so there is still no problem." Gao Xian said lightly, while further looking at these people.
Not to mention, I finally knew what I knew. A young man with a fair face and glasses respectfully left the chair and handed a business card, "Mr. Gao, I have long admired my name. My name is Ruan Yekai, and I am your admirer."
"You're welcome." Gao Xian nodded, took the business card, took a look, and saw that the other party was from Annan Saigon, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Before we could continue talking, Zhan Yousen, the eldest son of the Zhan family, who works as an accountant, happened to pass by and greeted in surprise: "Mr. Gao, you are here too, why haven't you heard of it in advance?"
"I'm joining in the fun of the place where I am happy." Gao Xian stood up and shook hands with the other party and said, "I just read Shanghua Culture's financial audit statement, and I'm working hard."
Zhan Yousen smiled and said, "It should be, it should be."
As soon as the active socialite left, He Hongshen appeared again and said, "Mr. Gao, I heard that you took a photo of a large oil field in the United States?"
Gao Xian nodded slightly, "It's just good luck."
He Hongshen said with envy: "Mr. Gao's foreign investment activities are so smooth, and I am willing to follow suit, but I have no idea how to start. Please give me some advice."
Gao Xian muttered to himself that the gambling industry is a non-stop business after all. It is not easy for you to expand out like me in a grand manner.
He Hongshen kept talking, and it seemed that he was really moving, and then invited Gao Xian to sit together and exchange his experiences.
Gao Xian nodded, "I will say a few more words to my friends here, and then I will go there."
After He Hongshen left, Gao Xian apologized to Ruan Yekai: "I have a lot of social engagements, so I lost my companionship and I will chat if I have time."
Ruan Yekai took Gao Xian's business card with joy and sent Gao Xian away with respect.
"I've lost my companion, too." Yi Huiqiang explained, caught up with Gao Xian and asked curiously: "You gave Ruan Yekai a business card. Are you interested in him?"
"I just had an idea in a daze." Gao Xian pondered: "By the way, where are they?"
Yi Huiqiang replied disdainfully: "It's just a few rich people in Saigon who have superficial knowledge. Due to the affection, I have to treat them well."
Gao Xianran said: "The United States is their father, and there is only the things from the United States that can make them recognize them with conscience."
Yi Huiqiang smiled and said, "Why would you invite you, the big Buddha, to come and conquer the scene."
"Okay, you can do it first." Gao Xian waved his hand, "I'll go to He Hongshen to sit down."
Seeing Gao Xian coming, the second wife of the He family, dressed in full dress, quickly gave up her seat.
Gao Xian nodded and sat down and asked, "Boss He is so anxious. He must have any plans?"
"I do have an idea. Mr. Gao travels around the world with extraordinary experience. Please give me some reference opinions." He Hongshen nodded and admitted: "This year, Annan signed an armistice agreement, and the situation has eased. You said, how about I opened a casino in Saigon?"
Gao Xian can understand that He Hongshen, who has been thinking about expanding his gambling business outward, chose Saigon as his first destination.
Because Saigon is indeed a very Westernized and prosperous city with a strong foundation to make money by opening a casino.
There is another reason, that is, He Hongshen's father's family was behind due to the failure to invest in the stock market, and He Hongshen's family hid debts and went to Saigon. In addition, for He Hongshen, it was a familiar sad place.
However, these favorable conditions are nonsense in the face of the general trend.
If He Hongshen really wants to open a casino in Saigon, it is a trivial matter to lose money, and maybe his life will be left there.
It is true that at the end of January this year, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, the United States and other relevant parties signed a peace treaty in Paris, France to ultimately stop the Vietnam War.
But this is just an article on the surface, but it is actually fragile and can be regarded as a pile of waste paper at any time.
First of all, from the perspective of the United States, the US military can be evacuated from the front battlefield in a decent way to avoid directly participating in the war, allowing the Annan people to fight the Annan people, and reducing the casualties of the American people. This is an explanation for the surging public opinion in the country.
Secondly, North Vietnam can take this opportunity to take some health and wellness.
You should know that last year, from April to October 1972, North Vietnam almost used all its troops to launch a massive Easter offensive against South Vietnam, which was bombed by the US B-52 strategic bomber, with more than 100,000 people losing tragically, and ended in failure, and then had to return to the negotiating table to argue.
As for the South Vietnamese side, it is a very easy-to-understand character who cannot stick to the walls. It is natural to be able to continue singing and dancing to peace.
But Gao Xian's heart is like a mirror, and the general trend remains unchanged. Next year, North Vietnam and South Vietnam, which have recovered, will continue to fight, and the situation will turn sharply.
In this case, you can get valuable things from Nanyue, and throw real money into it, just wait for the waste.
So Gao Xian tried his best to dissuade him: "This kind of peace requires time to observe whether it is truly reliable. It is better to wait patiently until next year. If you are anxious, it is better to hand over the money to me, which will also have good returns."
He Hongshen made a fuss about Gao Xian's big fool without comment, and then continued to ask: "How about Persia? It's a gold-selling cave!"
"This is really. When you have money, you're thinking about doing things." Gao Xian couldn't help but complain, but it was really hard to give a negative basis for a moment.
As Hongshen said, Persia, which is rich in oil resources, is currently a pro-Western secular society. As long as you have money, you can spend whatever you want, and it is even more suitable to open a casino.
But the problem is that the people in Persia are in a state of resentment, and they can't escape the fate of changing the sky in the end.
Gao Xian thought about it, and then expressed his opinion conservatively: "Although the powerful and wealthy class in Persia is rich and spending a lot of money everywhere, the overall situation in the Middle East has always been chaotic. If you make a large investment, it is better to be cautious."
