Chapter 528 Grandma asked you to change my clothes!

Wang Yuanchao's women and children arrived in Los Angeles one after another.

Except for Wang Lili and Wang Zheng who were the first group to arrive, he took them out to play, and those who arrived later were basically taken out to play by the staff.

He was really pressed for time.

The Iron Lady came to power in 79. That year, the British government sold 19% of the shares of British Petroleum (a monopoly state-owned enterprise), marking the beginning of privatization in the Thatcher era.

However, during the Iron Lady's first term, the privatization she promoted was mostly in the form of deregulation and encouragement of private competition: for example, the government stipulated that highway construction and local automobile transportation industries must be open to private enterprises and implement free competition.

Her current strategy is to carefully split up state-owned shares and sell them to company employees, so that employees can become supporters of privatization rather than resisters.

Wang Yuanchao's investment team, oil companies, etc. have been actively eroding the shares sold by the government to private individuals in the British market.

He himself has not returned home for years. He spends every day in the UK and the US, traveling between London, New York and Washington, just to wait for the moment when the UK will be completely open.

Mrs. Thatcher's approval rating in the UK is declining. If nothing unexpected happens, her career as prime minister will end at the end of this term.

The icing on the cake, how can it be better than giving help in times of need?

Because Wang Yuanchao knew that an accident would happen soon!
Once he wins the Falklands War and has enough confidence, he will start the process of full privatization.

Such a large-scale battle must be commanded by him personally, or in other words, if it were not for his current status and energy, he would not be qualified to "buy" British state-owned assets!

He had previously sent Howard back to the UK. Was he qualified to provide timely assistance to Mrs. Thatcher?
Sorry, not qualified.

At that time, even the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose, had to be polite, as others could bully him!

This was the first time in all the years of Hong Kong New Year's Eve Gala that he did not appear. The reason was simple: he was busy celebrating with the Reagan family.

Will the Governor of Hong Kong have any objections?
There won't be any objections.

The moment Reagan won the election, his identity as the biological father of Reagan's two grandchildren became different.

At this time, the companies under Wang Yuanchao had a strong power background to protect them, and his status also rose, so he was qualified to help Mrs. Thatcher in times of need.

Without Reagan, the former father-in-law of the US President, as his backer, Wang Yuanchao could only use his small fortune to buy other people's stocks. He could forget about taking over the management of other people's companies.

And since he controls the real economy, he can create a large number of jobs. With such a huge influence, the Queen may even award him the title of baron to comfort him.

It would be a waste if he didn't convert the money he earned from the futures market into real estate, land and real estate.

With such influence, East Malaysia’s independence will surely receive tacit approval or even support.

……

It was rare for the whole family to travel far away, especially the first time to celebrate the New Year outside of Hong Kong. The women felt it was very fresh and the children were even more excited.

Whether it is Disneyland in Los Angeles or Sea World in the southern city of San Diego, they are much more fun than Hong Kong.

They didn't even need to take a car, Wang Yuanchao chartered several private planes for them, making travel very convenient. In addition to the usual bodyguards and nannies, there were also a Chinese and a Western doctor accompanying them in case of emergencies.

Wang Yuanchao even asked Blackwater to provide the most covert security throughout the process as a rehearsal for the new service.

Some people don't like to be surrounded by people, some people don't like people knowing that they are timid, and both need covert security.

They will use the winter break to travel across the United States from the west coast to the east coast.

Even though the youngest baby, Wang Zhibai, is only one and a half years old, the little guy has a lot of fun because he can play with water or sand anywhere.

The family spent New Year's Eve in their mansion in Los Angeles because they hadn't even finished touring California.

Wang Yuanchao also made long-distance calls to wish his relatives in the mainland a happy New Year.

In 79, the daily newspaper published a report titled "Why there is no holiday during the Spring Festival", and subsequently some provinces announced holidays for the Spring Festival.

On New Year’s Eve of 80, people in the mainland began to have large-scale holidays.

At this time, during the Spring Festival of 81, the courtyard of the Wang family was packed with Wang Quan and his wife, Wang Sheng's family, Wang Heping's family, and Wang Li.

Everyone can finally be together to celebrate the New Year.

There is still some leftover from the New Year’s Eve dinner, so I don’t need to work in the kitchen today. A few bowls of breakfast can be prepared in no time.

The women were chatting around the radio in the room (there were no TV programs early in the morning), the men were bragging around the table, and the children were playing in the yard.

Then the phone at Lao Wang's house rang.

Wang Li jumped up immediately and went to answer the phone.

Sister-in-law Huang Ting smiled and reached out to turn down the volume of the radio.

Second sister-in-law Qin Jingru said to mother-in-law Miao Cui:
"Mom, I bet it's a call from North Korea!"

Miao Cui spit out the melon seed shells and said:
"Can you find a second person to make this call?"

Wang Li lifted the cover and answered the phone:
"Hello, third brother?"

Wang Yuanchao heard a burst of laughter from this side and said:

"What are you laughing at?"

Wang Li smiled and said:

"My second sister-in-law said it must be your call, and my mother asked her to find the second person who made this call!"

Wang Yuanchao was speechless. The phone at home, really, only had incoming calls and no outgoing calls. His mother didn't even allow anyone else to call this number. Or to put it more bluntly, other people didn't even know what the number was!

Only my father could make this call when he was at work, but if he did, my mother would usually give him a lecture, so he would rather not make the call.

Everyone is gathered together for the New Year, and apart from Wang Yuanchao, there is really no one else to call.

"Okay, I'll wish you a happy new year. By the way, when will you bring your partner back to me?"

Wang Li curled his lips and covered the microphone, but a little bit of it leaked out, and said to his family:
"Third brother asked me to bring my partner to him to see!"

The family members laughed again.

Wang Li then took his hand away and said with a smile:

"I'm getting married on March 3th. If you're free, you can come back and attend my wedding. If I really wait for you to help me, I'll really become an old maid!"

Mother Miao Cui hurriedly got down from the kang, glared at her daughter, and answered the phone.

The third brother is just hanging out outside, isn't that nice? Why is he coming back? She gets nervous when he comes back!
Wang Li stuck out his tongue at his mother, put down the phone and went back to bed without waiting for his third brother's response.

The two sisters-in-law took advantage of the mother-in-law's back to give their sister-in-law a thumbs up. How brave!
Wang Yuanchao was stunned when he heard this. This is really...

When his eldest brother got married, the three brothers went to pick him up on bicycles. When his second brother got married, he went to pick him up in a Gas Jeep borrowed from the Qiao family. When his youngest sister got married, how could he not go?
He was about to agree when he heard his mother's voice on the other end of the phone:

"Aid North Korea..."

"Hey, Mom, your son wishes you a happy new year!"

"Just listen to what your sister says, and go about your business, ah!" the mother warned, and then whispered, "Don't bring anyone back when the time comes, because none of them will be suitable."

Wang Yuanchao smiled bitterly. Did his mother think that he had too many wives? Or was she worried about his fairness?

If it really comes to a formal occasion, he will only bring Liu Qi Jin, the official partner, Lady Sir.

But my younger sister’s wedding isn’t really a formal occasion, so everyone just comes back to have some fun.

Wang Yuanchao did not respond and said:

"Where's my dad? Come over here, we'll call you to wish you a happy new year!"

Miao Cui didn't even need to be called. When the phone rang, the men who were bragging outside had already gathered.

She just waved to her husband, and Wang Quan came over with a red face, and then the old couple answered the phone face to face.

The phones these days are still the kind with rotary dials, without even buttons, let alone a hands-free function.

"Hello, Yuan Chao! I'm your dad!" Wang Quan's voice was as loud as a bell.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Dad, let me wish you a happy new year first. Please wait, they are lining up one by one!"

"Okay!" Wang Quan straightened his back, but his wife Miao Cui pinched him and he quickly bent down, otherwise Miao Cui would have to stand on tiptoe to reach the phone.

After Wang Yuanchao finished speaking, it was the turn of the eldest wife, Liu Qijin. She took the microphone and said loudly:
"Dad, Mom, I'm Qi Jin, wishing you a happy new year! I wish you good health and delicious food!"

"Oh, good, good! Everything tastes delicious! I wish you good health too!" Miao Cui responded with a smile.

Then Liu Qijin handed the phone to his twin daughters.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm Wang Zhiliu/Feng. I wish you a happy New Year and all the best!" The twins said loudly in unison.

Wang Quan couldn't help laughing and said:

"Oh, grandpa and grandma also wish you to be smart and healthy!"

Miao Cui also whispered to others:
"Where are Zhi Liu and Zhi Feng?"

Liu Qijin took the receiver away from his two daughters' ears and handed the phone to his third daughter.

The third daughter, Wang Zhihua, said loudly:
"Grandpa and grandma, I wish you good health and a long life. I'm in Los Angeles!"

Wang Quan's laughter suddenly stopped and he said anxiously:

"What's wrong? It's New Year's Day, why are you soaked to the skin?"

Miao Cui told her husband this, snatched the phone and said:
"Oh, kid, hurry up and ask your mom to change your clothes. You can't make phone calls at any time! What if you get cold?"

Wang Zhihua was a little confused. Why did he ask him to change clothes?
She glanced at her father Wang Yuanchao, then at her mother Liu Qijin, and then spoke into the microphone:
"You can only change into new clothes tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year."

Miao Cui frowned even more tightly. How could Wang Yuanchao, this bastard, take care of a child? The child was so confused from the fever! Today is already the first day of the Chinese New Year!
So I tried to be gentle:
"Zhihua, right? Can you give the phone to your father?"

"Okay!" Wang Zhihua looked at his father and said:

"Dad, grandma wants you to answer the phone."

Liu Qijin handed the phone to her husband and asked in a low voice:

"What did you say to grandpa and grandma? Why did you say so much?"

Wang Zhihua said:

"Grandma asked you to change me into new clothes!"

Liu Qijin was stunned. Why did they talk about new clothes?
