Chapter 370: Don’t Come Back in This Life
Everyone in the family thought Jiang Shu was outrageous and that Li Yuan was the one who led the child astray.
But Li Yuan just likes to play with Jiang Shu every day.
Jiang Shu is a quick learner and he can quickly apply the idioms explained by Li Yuan in his daily life.
There was less than half a month left before the Chinese New Year, so he took Jiang Shu to the back mountain, got some branches, and brought some sweet potatoes from home.
The two of them sat in front of the fire, talking as they waited for the sweet potatoes to mature.
Jiang Shu asked: "Dad, I found a problem."
"What's the problem?"
Jiang Shu immediately picked up the mineral water bottle, placed it on the flame, and said, "Dad, if this water bottle is a pot, then the water will boil, right?"
"right."
Li Yuan did not explain that although this was a plastic bottle, it could still be used to boil water.
He couldn't force knowledge into Jiang Shu, he wanted him to discover it himself and then guide himself.
Jiang Shu continued, "But I picked up a burning stick and put it on the mouth of the bottle. It was clearly heating it, but why didn't the water boil?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's very simple. Because the fire starts from the bottom of the bottle, the water at the bottom gets hot first. The water is restrained by the bottle and can only move upwards. Naturally, it replaces the cold water at the top, and the water in the whole bottle boils. If the fire is placed at the mouth of the bottle, the water at the top gets heated. Because of the hole, the water at the top runs away directly after the temperature rises."
Jiang Shu understands some basic common sense, even some physical rules.
But Li Yuan's explanation still made him think for a long time and he still couldn't understand it.
"Dad, I don't quite understand."
Li Yuan continued, "For example, if the water molecules in this bottle of water are countless little people, what does temperature represent? It represents the speed of these little people's movement. The faster the speed, the higher the temperature. When the flame is placed below to heat it, the little people at the bottom will definitely be the first to be unable to bear it and will run upwards like crazy, right?"
"right."
"Why can't it just run to the side?"
“Because there is no opening next to it.”
"Yes, there is no hole on the side. But the little people on the top layer are different. They absorb the energy of the flames. If they can't stand the continued heating of the flames, they can fly away directly... So if you want to heat a pot of water, you either heat it from the bottom or block the hole. Let the heated little people move crazily in the whole bottle, and drive many of the little people who don't move."
"Dad, why don't you just say that the rich first lead the poor later? Why is it so complicated to explain?"
Li Yuan: “…”
Jiang Shu thought for a while and said to himself: "Dad, I think you are wrong."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Jiang Shu pointed at the bottle and continued, "You see, those who got rich first didn't actually lead others. They just wanted to move up, otherwise they couldn't stand the flames below. And after he vacated his position, others came to be baptized by the flames. This is a cycle, so in essence it's not about who leads whom, it's just an instinctive drive. If it's not sealed, some people will still escape, but even if it is sealed, everyone inside is an independent individual and can't be seen as a whole. No one gave up their position voluntarily, they all gave up their position passively."
"Yes, you are right. So when you do good things, don't expect others to be grateful, because doing good things is just your instinct. If someone is grateful, you should remember them. If they are not grateful, you should not bear a grudge, because doing good things is a means of making a living for you."
Jiang Shu shook his head and said, "Dad, what you said is incomprehensible. I don't want to learn this."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Then let's not learn it. Let's eat sweet potatoes."
Today's sweet potatoes are especially sweet.
Jiang Shu seemed a little absent-minded when he was eating.
"Dad, I was just talking nonsense. I don't know what the saying is about the rich leading the poor."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Then...can you not give me too high expectations?"
"Of course, I will respect your choice at any time."
"Will you be angry then?"
"Huh? Why would I be mad?"
"Because I didn't satisfy you, you won't disown me as your son in the future, right?"
Li Yuan smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Even if you are not satisfied in the future, it is your choice. You definitely want to be a good son, but we have different opinions and you believe in yourself more. What's wrong with that? Relatives cannot be described by right or wrong. For example, when I am in my seventies or eighties, I will become a nagging old man with a weird personality, and I will not satisfy you. You can't beat me or scold me then, right? Or do you want to starve me to death without giving me food?"
Jiang Shu seemed to be thinking about something .
"Is it true that the more mistakes I make, the more mistakes you will make in the future?"
"In theory, yes. Otherwise, everyone wants to be a son instead of a father. If that were the case, you wouldn't have been born."
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Shu was only four years old after all, and he had only been influenced by Li Yuan and had done some thinking in advance.
Li Yuan was not shy about telling him many things, and would even use simple things to help him understand.
"What do you understand?"
"I want to have more sons in the future, so that when I get old, I can do whatever I want."
…
Jiang Yiling watched Li Yuan and Jiang Shu come back, and Jiang Shu's face was dark.
He immediately asked, "If you don't wipe it for him, others will laugh to death if they see it."
Anyway, Li Yuan doesn't pay attention to hygiene when taking care of the children.
"I didn't bring wet wipes. I'll be more careful next time."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he winked at Jiang Shu and said, "Son, didn't you say you had a gift for mom? Why don't you take it out quickly?"
Jiang Yiling was stunned.
She never thought she would receive a gift from her son.
Jiang Shu happily took out a baked sweet potato from his pocket and said, "Mom, I couldn't bear to eat it myself, so I saved it for you."
Jiang Yiling looked at a deformed sweet potato and felt a little moved.
This little guy is so sensible sometimes that it makes you feel distressed.
Of course, most of the time I’ll be so popular that my chest will ache.
It’s just that the sweet potatoes seemed to be flattened, and it was an extremely weird kind of flatness.
The two sides are flat, and there is a bulge in the middle.
After Jiang Yiling took it, he asked, "The shape of this sweet potato is so strange, it looks like a brush holder."
Jiang Shu nodded quickly, "Yes, I sat on it accidentally."
Jiang Yiling: “???”
Isn't the raised part in the middle of the sweet potato...
Hmm…
She quickly handed the sweet potato to Li Yuan and said, "Mom doesn't like sweet potatoes, so let your dad eat it. Come in with me and I'll wipe your mouth."
Li Yuan came in with sweet potatoes and said, "Actually, flattened sweet potatoes are tastier. Just like candied haws, aren't flattened ones more popular?"
"Then eat it! Here's a reward for you!"
"Ahem, his grandfather would definitely like it more."
Li Yuan was not disgusted at all. He even changed Jiang Shu's diapers. He didn't know anything at that time and he just learned how to do it.
It’s strange to say, if it was someone else’s, he would definitely not be able to bear it on the spot and might even vomit it out.
But for my own children, I don’t feel anything at all.
Just don’t eat too much sweet potato, otherwise if you fart the whole house will know.
After Jiang Yiling cleaned up Jiang Shu, he found an excuse to ask him to look after his brother for a while, then came to Li Yuan and asked, "Don't you think there's something wrong with Jiang Shu? Even if it's 2022 now, he's only four years old."
"That...including the time I was in your belly, it's already five years old."
Li Yuan reminded.
The so-called virtual age is the ten months that the baby spends in the mother's womb.
"That's not right. Theoretically, it would take another year or two to reach his level, even for a genius."
"What do you want to say?"
"You must have led him astray! You guide him every day, but he has so many problems at such a young age."
Li Yuan: “…”
Is he responsible for this?
Of course there is.
If he doesn't guide him, no matter how lively Jiang Shu is, after repeated failures, he will lose the desire to think and will wait until he grows up.
"If he gets into trouble in the future, you will be responsible for solving it!"
In her opinion, Li Yuan's thinking was already outrageous enough, and he had been taking care of Jiang Shu since he was a child. Who knew to what extent Jiang Shu would be led astray by him in the future.
"I'll wait until I can live to the age where he gets into trouble."
Jiang Yiling was choked for a moment.
Then he said, "Why don't you leave the name Liu Hansheng to me? I'll arrange for someone to handle the formalities in a couple of days."
The so-called procedures are divorce and remarriage.
This will minimize Li Yuan's traces.
The effect cannot be seen in a short period of time, but if the time line is extended to five or ten years, the effect will be particularly obvious.
Perhaps, after deliberate concealment on the Internet, most people will not know the name Li Yuan in ten years.
"good."
Li Yuan plans to have a good talk with Zhou Ranran tonight. It is inevitable that it will be a bit hard, after all, he had promised Zhou Ranran before.
It is important to create a better atmosphere for Jiang Shu now.
As for the identity of 'Li Yuan', don't use it if you can, just treat that guy as dead.
…
In mid-January, the United States disclosed to the media its intention to raise interest rates, which is expected to happen in July.
Then, the global financial market exploded.
U.S. stocks surged for several days in a row, and then began to slowly fall back.
Li Yuan took the opportunity to sell all his U.S. stocks, with $90 billion going in and $170 billion coming out.
Afterwards, Shen Anna was arranged to open short orders slowly, with the scale controlled at US$20 billion.
There is not much profit from this money because the short contract has interest. The annual interest rate of securities firms in the United States is basically 14 points.
The next year will be a downward cycle, with the index falling by only 20 to 30 points in total. A short contract can earn at most 30 to 40 points. After deducting the annual interest, it would be considered good if you can earn more than 10 points.
Moreover, there is a lot of funds in the short position, and subsequent operations are very troublesome.
The coming out of this money from him will definitely have a huge butterfly effect.
Wall Street's profit expectations have been suppressed to the extreme in the past three years. This time, in order to preserve funds, it is likely to resist hard.
Originally, Wall Street could have reaped two to three trillion dollars in the past three years, but what happened? Li Yuan completely disrupted the situation, cutting losses and stealing chips every day.
It seemed that there was a lot of paper profit on the books, but when it came time to cash out, it was discovered that the stored grain pile had been emptied out, leaving only the surface layer.
After the effect takes effect, they will be lucky if they can make one trillion.
One trillion in profits is not enough to cover their hard work over the past three years, nor can it beat the inflation caused by the United States' crazy money printing.
On Wall Street, people have begun to promote the island country's stock market, especially spreading the news of Buffett's downfall .
As for the A-shares, they are lying tightly together, and the only thing missing is a white cloth covering them.
A large amount of funds are tied up in it. Once the US dollar starts to raise interest rates, those funds will be forced to sell at a loss and leave the market.
Because if you don't cut your losses, you will lose more, and the retail investors will also run away.
In the general environment, whoever runs first will suffer less losses.
Everyone is preparing for the upcoming winter of US dollar interest rate hikes.
Li Yuan is no exception.
The annual report of Kingsoft Capital was urgently released on January 6 last year, but this year...
It was delayed until the last trading day before the New Year.
The annual report is very simple, with revenue of more than 40 billion and net profit of 36 billion.
No dividends.
Almost all of the 40 billion yuan was revenue from the first few months. In the next eight months, the fund was forcibly liquidated and settled, so not a penny was earned. In addition, Guo Meng launched new projects and supported three or four companies to go public, which cost several billion yuan.
As for reducing holdings...it is impossible to reduce holdings at all.
Li Yuan threw the money out and the stock price immediately fell to the floor, but no one took it.
When he is not smashing the stock price, someone will spend tens of millions of dollars to push up the stock price.
After all, the chips are so concentrated.
One day before the Chinese New Year, the God of Wealth called Li Yuan.
"Um... Li Yuan... I will retire next year. Before I retire, I have organized a party and would like to invite you to come."
Li Yuan quickly refused, "Old man, I really don't dare to go out now. I'm still young and want to live a few more years. I've earned so much money and haven't spent it yet."
This is the attitude he has shown recently. He refuses to go out no matter who calls him out, and he doesn't speak out in any media. He was even removed from last year's Forbes rich list.
"Then I'll ask Yao Yingsong to pick you up? I'm very optimistic about this guy, but he has been in his current position for too short a time. I've already discussed it with others. It will be at most three to five years..."
Li Yuan quickly interrupted, "Grandpa, you can just talk to him about Yao Yingsong's matter. He will definitely be very touched. There is no point in talking to someone like me."
"Haha, isn't he also your brother-in-law..."
"No, no, no, I dare not. I have a lot of things to deal with at home, and I don't have the energy to recognize other relatives."
The God of Wealth was silent for a while, then said, "To be honest, I'll ask Yao Yingsong to invite you..."
"It doesn't matter who comes. I'm afraid of death now and won't go anywhere. If you really want to eat, wait until the end of March, call everyone and come to my place. I'll treat you to a meal. As for those who don't want to come...then don't come for the rest of your life!"
