It was Saturday, and after breakfast, Huang Xiaochuan was taking a walk in the yard with Yu Xiang when his phone rang. Huang Xiaochuan saw that it was his mother-in-law, Zheng Aiying, calling, so he pressed the answer button.
"Xiao Chuan, your dad and I are at the hospital. Tang Yuan is about to give birth, so we just wanted to let you know. We won't be coming over at noon, and neither of you should come to the hospital. Yu Xiang is pregnant herself, so don't run around, understand?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to her in a bit."
After Huang Xiaochuan hung up the phone, Yu Xiang asked, "What did my mom say on the phone?"
"Your mom said Tangyuan is about to give birth and is in the hospital now. She and your dad won't be coming over at noon, so she asked me to tell you not to go to the hospital. It's inconvenient for you to travel back and forth with such a big belly."
Upon hearing that Tang Yuan was about to give birth, Yu Xiang immediately wanted to go to the hospital.
"No way! I want to go too. I'm over five months pregnant, I'll be fine!"
"You'd better not go. In a few days, after Tang Yuan is discharged from the hospital, we can just go to her home to see her. It's the same."
"No, no, that's not fair. You hurry up and get ready. I'll go change my clothes, and we'll leave right away."
Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan didn't move, Yu Xiang became annoyed: "Let me tell you, don't make me angry. Don't you know I can't be angry right now?"
Huang Xiaochuan knew that pregnant women's emotions were extremely unstable during pregnancy, so he had always been accommodating to Yu Xiang. Seeing that Yu Xiang was getting anxious, he quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, you're really ruthless, right? I'll arrange a car right away."
At this time, Yu Xiang was more than five months pregnant. Because she was carrying twins, she looked like a woman who was seven or eight months pregnant. Although the fetuses were currently developing normally, Huang Xiaochuan dared not let his guard down.
I carefully accompanied her all the way to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital and seeing Lao Yu and Zheng Aiying, Yu Xiang, heavily pregnant and supporting her back, asked, "Dad, Mom, has Tang Yuan given birth yet?"
Upon hearing the voice, the couple turned around and saw Yu Xiang and Huang Xiaochuan. Zheng Aiying couldn't help but complain, "What are you doing here? Xiaochuan, why didn't you stop her?"
"Mom, it's alright. It's good for her to get out and move around."
After speaking, he greeted Lao Yu and Tang Yuan'an and his wife.
"dad!"
"Ogawa's here!"
"Brother Yuan'an, Sister-in-law!"
"Xiao Chuan, I have a place here, come and sit for a while."
"No, I'll go check on Yu Wei."
Huang Xiaochuan walked over to Yu Wei, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't be like an ant on a hot pan. Calm down, don't worry! Everything will be alright."
At this moment, Yu Wei's heart was in the delivery room. Hearing Huang Xiaochuan's words, he couldn't help but nod.
However, when he saw that Yu Xiang had also come with a big pregnant belly, he couldn't help but complain to Huang Xiaochuan: "Why did you bring my sister here with such a big belly?"
"Look at what you're saying. Do you think I can stop her now? If she gets angry, I'll have to coax her for days."
Yu Wei knew that Huang Xiaochuan couldn't be entirely blamed for this, so his tone softened considerably: "Alright, let her stay here for a while, and then you take her back as soon as possible."
"I know."
As luck would have it, less than ten minutes after Huang Xiaochuan and Yu Xiang arrived, there was a commotion in the delivery room, and soon the door opened, and a nurse came out carrying a baby.
"Are Tang Yuan's family members here?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Wei dashed to the nurse and anxiously asked, "Yes, yes, how is my wife?"
The nurse looked at him and then showed him the baby.
"It's a boy, weighing 7.6 pounds. The mother is fine. Please wait at the door for a moment; she'll be out soon."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu Wei hurriedly replied.
At this moment, Zheng Aiying and Lao Yu and his wife also ran over, followed closely by Tang Yuan'an and his wife.
Zheng Aiying carefully took her grandson from the nurse, her smile beaming from ear to ear.
Old Yu was also grinning from ear to ear beside him.
Despite her large pregnant belly, Yu Xiang still wanted to go and see her nephew, with Huang Xiaochuan accompanying her, focusing on protecting her belly.
Yu Wei didn't care about the baby at all, and kept looking into the delivery room.
On the way back, Yu Xiang kept praising her nephew for being handsome. To be honest, Huang Xiaochuan really couldn't see what was so handsome about him. He was ruddy and looked like a big rat.
However, Huang Xiaochuan is not very satisfied with the current conditions of hospitals in China.
When Huang Xiaochuan took Tang Yuan back to her ward earlier, he paid special attention to the conditions. Even the so-called international department wasn't that great. So Huang Xiaochuan wanted to persuade Yu Xiang to give birth in Hong Kong. Firstly, Hong Kong's medical conditions were much better than those on the mainland at that time. Secondly, Hong Kong had housing, making postpartum care very convenient. Thirdly, Hong Kong had returned to China, so even if she was born there, she would still be Chinese. It would also be a good opportunity to see Hong Kong after the handover.
Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan will be stationed in Hong Kong to oversee the financial war of shorting Southeast Asian currencies. He plans to quietly snatch profits from the mouths of international financial giants.
Zhang Yun learned this from Goldman Sachs, and she then taught it all to Huang Xiaochuan.
First, a large number of shell companies need to be registered, and then the shares are held in a vertically and cross-cutting manner. The whole thing is a mess, and even Huang Xiaochuan can't figure it out, let alone others. Without a professional team to sort it out for several years, it would be impossible to understand the intricacies involved.
But by the time things are cleared up, it's too late. The necessary work has already been done, and these shell companies have lost their purpose and will be deregistered one by one.
This is a series of procedures designed to leverage the advantages of registering companies in Caribbean countries and the stringent bank confidentiality regulations to conduct related transactions with banks through different brokers.
In short, the goal is to make it difficult for people to know who is doing this. Shell companies are just layers of disguises, and even if all these disguises are eventually stripped away, it will be found that they are empty inside.
According to the plan, we will start with the Thai baht, followed by the Philippine peso, Indonesian rupiah, and Malaysian ringgit.
Currently, Zhang Yun and Zhang Sui, one in the east and one in the west, have basically completed their arrangements by using securities and physical assets as collateral for loans and purchasing related financial derivatives. However, Zhang Yun said that she is only responsible for the Thai baht phase, and the subsequent operations will be handed over to Huang Xiaochuan. At that time, Yu Xiang was in the period of pregnancy and postpartum confinement.
Therefore, based on these considerations, Huang Xiaochuan planned to persuade Yu Xiang to go to Hong Kong with him.
"Honey, I just noticed that the hospitals in Shanghai aren't very good! How about we go to Hong Kong? The medical conditions there are better than on the mainland for now."
Yu Xiang didn't want to go through all that trouble: "It's too far! We can't just go with the two of us, can we? What about your mom and my mom? It's too much trouble to make them travel so far, to places they don't know well. They won't even be able to find the market."
"Oh my, what's the trouble? Neither of you mothers needs to go, just the two of us. We have so many servants at home in Hong Kong, and we can also hire a professional nanny to take care of the two children. You just need to focus on giving birth, and I'll take care of raising them."
"We'll come back after you've finished your postpartum confinement. We'll bring the nanny with us then. It's just a matter of money! Do you think we're short of that?"
Seeing that Yu Xiang was still hesitant, Huang Xiaochuan said, "You have to consider that you're carrying twins. Hong Kong has a higher standard of living and better conditions. You can make do yourself, but you have to think about the children, right?"
The baby in her belly was Yu Xiang's Achilles' heel, and she had experience with medical centers in the United States, so she knew that the level and facilities of these private hospitals were quite good. Although the price was expensive, as her husband said, she didn't need to consider such a thing at all.
In the end, Yu Xiang agreed to Huang Xiaochuan's suggestion. Huang Xiaochuan was very happy. He originally thought that he would have to use some persuasion and spend some time to convince Yu Xiang, but he did not expect her to agree so quickly.
