Chapter 38333835【Holding a wedding】
In 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis not only has not resolved, but its impact continues to expand.
Northern Rock Bank, one of the five largest lending banks in the UK, was on the verge of bankruptcy and had no choice but to be taken over by the British government. German state banks declared themselves in a subprime mortgage crisis.
Subsequently, the Federal Reserve took over the two largest real estate mortgage companies, Freddie Mac and Freddie Mac; Bear Stearns, one of the five major investment banks, was acquired by JPMorgan Chase; Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America; Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection; Iceland declared national bankruptcy …
Xiang Nan’s assets have not only not been affected in any way, but are gradually expanding due to the impact of the financial crisis.
In 2008, Li Er released two more novels, namely "Luan Qingsi" and "Loving You Across Thousand Years", which still achieved very good sales.
And she also followed Xiang Nan's guidance and continued to invest all her money in real estate.
In the past two years, the real estate properties she invested in have experienced very good growth. Especially with the spread of the subprime mortgage crisis, domestic rescue plans have also been launched, making the real estate industry more prosperous.
She bought a house in Yide Mansion in 2006. At that time, the price was only more than 5,000 yuan. And now the house price has risen to more than 8,000. In two years, it has increased by 60%, which is really very profitable.
So after enjoying the benefits, she naturally continued to invest in real estate.
…
In 2009, students are all busy looking for jobs.
Neither Xiang Nan nor Li Er were busy.
Li Er is now a well-known romance novel writer in China, although with the development of smart phones and online literature, the sales of physical books have been greatly affected.
But for an already-famous writer like her, although her sales have been affected a lot, she can still make a living.
As for Xiang Nan, there is no need to find a job. He now has a capital of up to 1 billion in the mainland, a capital of 2 billion in the Hong Kong stock market, and holds a large number of stocks in Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Qualcomm and other companies.
With his current capital, he dare not compete for the richest man in the country, but he has achieved financial freedom early. Therefore, he couldn't find a job at all, and no company could afford to hire him.
So after graduating from university in 2009, Xiang Nan and Li Er prepared to get married.
They have been in love for four years and have lived together for three years. All that is left is the piece of paper and a ceremony.
…
Preparations for the wedding began immediately.
The classmates in Tianzhong realized at this time that Xiang Nan and Li Er had been together for a long time.
“Oh, you can really hide it.”
“I’m really not a friend enough. I kept it secret from us for so long.”
“Okay, a talented man and a talented woman are really a good match~”
After the news was announced among the classmates, it caused an uproar.
“Everyone is welcome to come to Hujiang to attend our wedding. All food, accommodation and travel expenses are included.” Xiang Nan replied with a smile.
“This is what you said, okay, I will definitely go when the time comes~”
“It’s Xu Yi after all. He is generous in his actions. I will definitely support him~”
The students all said enthusiastically.
On October 2, 2009, the wedding of Xiang Nan and Li Er was officially held at the Hujiang Oriental Hotel.
The scale of the wedding was not too large, because the invited guests, in addition to Xiang Nan and Li Er’s high school and college classmates, were also some friends from the Xu family’s business.
Because the Xu family and the Zhuang family have no relatives. As for Li Er's relatives, only his parents, uncles and other close relatives came.
After all, his relatives are all in Dongshan, and it is not convenient to come to Hujiang. The only reason is that the gifts cannot be received, so only ten tables are reserved for the wedding.
Unexpectedly, at half past ten, several heavyweights suddenly arrived.
One is Chen Youyu, chairman of Jinlong Group, Cai Fukang, chairman of Changsheng Group, Ye Zhiming, general manager of Sitong Company, and Qiu Dingxin, chairman of Dingxing Group…
These are all bigwigs in the Hujiang business community. Xu Ruiyang and Zhuang Meijuan did not expect that they would come to the wedding.
“Chairman Chen, welcome. I didn’t expect you to come in person. It’s such an honor.” Xu Ruiyang said in surprise.
He sent the invitation out of etiquette because the Golden Dragon Group had placed several million orders for Koi for four consecutive years. I didn't expect people to come to the wedding.
After all, Koi Ji has been developing well in recent years, with profits of millions every year. But compared to the tens of billions of profits made by Golden Dragon Group every year, it is simply too small to be worth mentioning.
But I didn’t expect Chen Youyu to come in person. It was really incredible to be so favored, and Xu Ruiyang was flattered for a moment.
“I have nothing to do, so I want to come here to enjoy myself.” Chen Youyu said with a smile, “As long as you don’t mind me disturbing you.”
“How dare you, how dare you, it’s not too late to welcome you, please have a seat, please have a seat.” Xu Ruiyang smiled quickly.
The CEOs Cai Fukang, Ye Zhiming, Qiu Dingxin and others who arrived later also basically said the same thing, which made Xu Ruiyang and Zhuang Meijuan very surprised.
It was a surprise to them that a boss came here to enjoy himself while he had nothing to do. It's weird that so many bosses have nothing to do and come here to enjoy themselves.
But now is not the time to think about it, we can only be busy planning the wedding first.
…
At eleven o'clock, the wedding was officially held.
Hang Nan and Li Er walked onto the stage arm in arm and completed the most important ceremony in their lives under the auspices of the master of ceremonies.
“Bride and groom, are you willing to solemnly swear that in the future, no matter whether we are sick or healthy, poor or rich, we will support each other, respect each other, and go through every stage of life together?” the master of ceremonies asked.
“We all solemnly swear that in the future, no matter whether we are sick or healthy, poor or rich, we will support each other, respect each other, and go through every stage of life together.” Xiang Nan and Li Er said in unison.
“Congratulations, from now on you will face the ups and downs, ups and downs of life together, and experience passion, sweetness, confusion, emotion, patience and joy.
However, no matter what difficulties and hardships you encounter along the way, each other's love and trust will become your support, protection and sustenance. "The host added, "Now let's invite the bride and groom to exchange rings..."
“Wait a minute!” At this moment, someone shouted loudly.
Everyone looked around in confusion, and saw a woman walking in with her head held high, her whole body dressed up in a bright and dazzling way, and the aura of wealth and nobility around her made everyone dizzy.
"Liba?" Xiang Nan immediately recognized her and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, it's me." Li Bala nodded, "Xu Yi, you said I wasn't worthy of you at first, but now I have so much money, can I be worthy of you?"
“What does it mean to be worthy of me?” Xiang Nan asked in confusion.
"You didn't want to be with you because you thought I was poor. Let me tell you, I am rich now, so you can be with me." Li Bala said proudly.
