The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Before leaving London, Ye Yanhong and her companions exchanged all the 600 million pounds borrowed from HSBC into US dollars.

Six hundred million pounds was converted to two and a half billion dollars.

Ye Xiaoyang took 2 billion US dollars and invested it in the New York Stock Exchange in the United States in four installments.

In a blink of an eye, a year passed, and he arranged for his sister Ye Yanhong to sell the stocks purchased on the New York Stock Exchange in batches.

Ye Yanhong led the small team and spent two full weeks to complete the task.

Looking at the numbers on the six passbooks, she could hardly believe her eyes.

In just one year, the $20 billion invested in the New York Stock Exchange has now exceeded $40 billion.

A staggering $45 billion.

All of this money was to be transferred to Hong Kong Island, with $30 billion of it to be transferred in the form of gold.

At this moment, she felt that the money spent on relocating so many people from a small town in the south of the Yangtze River to Hong Kong was not worth mentioning at all.

Two months ago, she went to New Xiangjiang Island and saw the projects invested and constructed by the Ye family on Xiangjiang Island.

She was shocked by the scale at that time. She didn't understand why the Ye family built so many factories.

She asked her father, but her father said that these were her third brother's ideas and that he was the one who made the decisions in the family now.

She could understand this. The Ye family's current fortune was mainly due to her third brother.

If the third brother had not returned home in time, the Ye family in Gusu City would probably have gone bankrupt.

Before the Japanese invaders attacked Hujiang, it was hard to say whether her parents, her eldest brother's family and she could leave Gusu City.

If the family could not leave Gusu City, it is unknown how many of them would survive after eight years of war.

Curious Ye Yanhong came to the study, opened the door and saw her third brother talking with her father.

Ye Xiaoyang said:

"Little sister, is it done?"

"Third brother, guess how much money I brought back?"

"It should be more than $40 billion."

Ye Yuxuan was stunned and wanted to ask how there could be so much money, but he held back.

Ye Yanhong looked at Ye Xiaoyang and said:

"Third brother, you are amazing. In just one year, you turned the 20 billion invested in the New York Stock Exchange into 45 billion.

Net profit of $25 billion."

"Little sister, this is not the work of Third Brother alone. The media team led by Professor Gu has made an invaluable contribution.

Without their relentless hype, we wouldn’t have been able to make such a huge profit on the stocks we invested in.”

"Third brother, so you arranged all this! I was wondering why the stock price has risen so much recently?"

At this moment, Ye Yuxuan took over and said:

"Yanhong, don't focus all your attention on work. You must resolve your personal issues this year.

Our entire family will be moving to Xiangjiang Island immediately, and we hope that your wedding with Xiao Guo will be held there."

Ye Xiaoyang said:

"Third sister, Dad is right, all four of our children got married very young, but you are the last.

Mother has asked me many times, why did I arrange for you to go to college? Why did I arrange for you to work?

Ye Yanhong quickly lowered her head. She knew this was unavoidable and she had no intention of arguing.

"Third brother, it's not that we don't want to get married. Dad knows the reason. Jianhua hopes that his relatives can attend the wedding."

Ye Xiaoyang originally wanted to say that he would participate! But he thought that things must not be that simple.

His parents were reasonable people and would never refuse to let their future son-in-law's relatives attend their wedding.

Besides, my younger sister Yanhong is getting married, and the Ye family is not recruiting a live-in son-in-law. Even if they were recruiting a live-in son-in-law, they cannot do this.

"Little sister, where are Jianhua's relatives in China now?"

"They returned to Pengcheng from Wucheng three months ago."

"Return to Pengcheng?"

Ye Xiaoyang looked surprised.

Pengcheng is located in the Central Plains of China. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. During the civil war between the two parties, Pengcheng is not safe.

"Yes! Jianhua is from Pengcheng!"

"Little sister, the city of Pengcheng has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Jianhua should be very clear about this, right?"

Ye Yanhong nodded and said:

“I know. Before his family left Wucheng, Jianhua sent a telegram asking them to come to Jiangnan Town.

But his father refused to agree no matter what, and he said he would rather die on the land of China.

Jianhua had no way of convincing his father.”

"Did Jianhua tell you about the two of you?"

"I did, but his father seemed very unhappy when he heard about what happened between Jianhua and me."

"Little sister, have you ever thought about why this is happening?"

Ye Yanhong shook her head and said:

"I don't know. Maybe they think Jianhua's lifelong affairs should be decided by his parents, not by the younger generation."

"It's not that simple. It's possible that his family arranged a marriage for him without informing Jianhua.

According to Jianhua's age, he should have been married and had children. We Chinese attach the most importance to these traditions.

The elders are extremely against things like parents' orders, matchmaker's words, and private marriage arrangements."

Ye Yanhong thought about it and said worriedly:

"Third brother, what should we do?"

"There's no way I'm sharing a husband with other women. The worst that can happen is that it's over."

Ye Yuxuan interrupted:

"Daughter, Dad supports you!"

Ye Xiaoyang cares a lot about his younger sister. Before he traveled through time, he was an only child and he had wished many times for a younger sister.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, my dream came true and I had two brothers and a lovely sister.

This satisfied him.

"Little sister, this is just an assumption. Jianhua people are good, don't give up easily.

I think Jianhua himself doesn’t like arranged marriages.”

"Third brother, you're right; if his parents really did these things, we should find a way to solve the problem.

There is just one thing that worries me.”

"Little sister, go ahead."

"What if his parents accept me and let us go back to Pengcheng to hold the wedding?

China is not safe now either."

Ye Xiaoyang nodded and said:

"When you two get married, it's Jianhua marrying you, so logically, the wedding should be held at Jianhua's house.

But given the current situation, how can our family get to Pengcheng, Jianhua’s hometown, to hold the wedding?

Although there are cruise ships from San Francisco to Hujiang, how can we get from Hujiang to Pengcheng?

The civil war between the two parties has already begun, and I don’t know the specific situation in China now.”

Ye Yuxuan said:

"According to our Chinese tradition, the groom's parents should discuss the wedding with your mother and me first.

But what should we do in this situation now?"

Ye Xiaoyang said:

"Dad, don't worry about this. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Pengcheng on behalf of our Ye family."

"Third brother, is it safe for you to go to Pengcheng?"

A look of worry appeared on Ye Yanhong's face.

"Little sister, don't worry about Third Brother. Go and invite Jianhua to your home for dinner.

I’ll talk to him then.”

"Thank you, Third Brother."

"You're still polite to the third brother."

"Third brother, this is the passbook of the six major banks."

Ye Yanhong handed the passbook to Ye Xiaoyang as she spoke. After Ye Xiaoyang took it, he casually placed it on the coffee table.

"The team you led worked hard for two weeks this time. After we arrive at Xiangjiang Island, I will give your team a bonus."

"Third brother, no need, right? This time it's mainly Jianhua and I, and the other two will help us."

"Why not? I'll give you $10 million, $4 million each for you and Jianhua.

The other two received $100 million each.”

Ye Yuxuan held back from saying anything. He knew very well how much purchasing power 10 million US dollars had.

Although most of the money was given to his family, he still felt that his third son did not treat the money seriously.

"Third brother, there's no need to give out so much. We're just selling a few, and we haven't made much of a contribution."

"I know. Consider this money a gift to you."

"Even if you give it to us, it would be too much, right?"

"It's not much. You need this money. We don't know what the situation is like in Jianhua's family now.

You can't expect Jianhua's family to come up with much betrothal gifts, right?"

Ye Yuxuan continued:

"My dear, your third brother is right. Once Jianhua has this money, he will be able to marry you in a grand ceremony.

Your wedding can’t be too shabby.”

Ye Yanhong was very emotional. It was her third brother who loved her the most and considered all the situations she would face in the future.

If she gave Jianhua the money directly, he would always feel inferior to her in the future.

Jianhua is talented, and talented people are inevitably arrogant.

With this bonus, he will not have any financial pressure to hold their wedding.

Even if his parents don't spend a penny.

"Third brother, thank you."

Ye Yanhong walked to Ye Yuxuan and said:

"Dad, thank you, your daughter."

Ye Yuxuan patted his daughter's hand and said:

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Although Dad is reluctant to let you get married, he also knows that you must get married.

Fortunately, your third brother said that the villa prepared for you is not far from where our family lives."

Ye Yanhong was deeply moved.

After Ye Yanhong left, Ye Xiaoyang continued to drink tea with his father.

"San'er, do you really want to go back to China?"

“I originally planned to wait until we moved to Xiangjiang Island to see the situation first.

Now my younger sister’s marriage needs to be settled as soon as possible, and I also want to go back.

I have no idea how my second brother is doing now. I sent him two telegrams but received no response."

"Hey! Speaking of you three brothers when you were little, the second oldest was the most sensible and never gave us any worries.

I never thought that after you grew up, your second child would cause your mother and I so much worry and worry, and most importantly, we were scared."

"Dad, don't worry."

"Why aren't you worried? Didn't your second brother marry a woman later? They should have children.

So is this child currently living in the Fushe Revolutionary Base?

I've read in the newspapers that the living conditions there are very difficult. Thinking of my poor grandchildren, ah!"

Ye Xiaoyang understands his father. Both his father and mother love their grandchildren very much. This is the affection between generations.

The revolutionary base organized by the Communist Party was short of supplies, so even if he tried to send money there, it would be of no use.

You can’t buy good things there even if you have money, and even the leaders of the Communist Party organization live an extremely hard life.
