I'm back in 1990

Chapter 819: The Eight Trigrams Chapter Calls

Children have limited energy, so they go to bed early at night.

In the study, Zhang Yun told Huang Xiaochuan, "The first billion US dollars has been transferred. Have Zhang Sui check it. The rest will arrive in batches within four days."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

After finishing their business, Zhang Yun said softly, "They were very happy today."

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Zhang Yun and replied, "Me too."

After they finished speaking, they both fell silent and sat there for a long time.

Finally, Zhang Yun spoke first: "When are you planning to leave?"

"The day after tomorrow morning."

Zhang Yun nodded: "Okay! Then you should get some rest!"

On Monday morning, Luca and Avan reluctantly said goodbye to their father at the school gate. Although Huang Xiaochuan was reluctant, he still forced himself to wave goodbye to his two sons.

But he still made a promise: "I will come often."

Hearing this, the brothers' expressions brightened up a bit.

Having stayed in Singapore for so long, Huang Xiaochuan's whereabouts could no longer be hidden, and related newspapers and magazines reported on the matter.

Huang Xiaochuan's private plane took off from Changi Airport and flew directly to its destination, Shanghai.

Meanwhile, numerous financial media outlets in Singapore and Hong Kong, as well as some influential international gossip columns, reported on the secret visit of Huang Xiaochuan, Asia's richest man.

The Lianhe Zaobao's business section ran a headline, "Mysterious Itinerary: Asia's Richest Man Huang Xiaochuan Appears in Singapore, What's the Purpose?", detailing Huang Xiaochuan's itinerary in Singapore as much as possible.

They even published photos of him riding in a Bentley to and from the mansion near the botanical garden.

The report quoted "well-informed sources" as saying that Huang Xiaochuan kept a low profile during his trip and did not meet with prominent figures in Singapore's political and business circles. His main contact was with Zhang Yun, the current head of the Xue Group.

The article speculates that, given the Dadao Group's substantial investments in the pharmaceutical technology sector in recent years, Huang Xiaochuan's trip is highly likely to be to discuss cooperation in related fields with the Xue Group, which also has deep roots in Southeast Asia. It may even be possible to establish a joint investment fund, given that the relationship between Zhang Yun and Huang Xiaochuan is well-known.

The South China Morning Post in Hong Kong provided a comprehensive analysis of Huang Xiaochuan's business motives for going to Singapore.

The commentary published in the newspaper pointed out that Huang Xiaochuan's quiet trip to Singapore amid rising global financial markets was definitely not a private visit, let alone a private visit that would require such a long stay.

Commentators believe that Dadao Group and Xue Group have strong business complementarity, especially since Xue Group controls market channels in Southeast Asia.

This meeting may bring changes to the pharmaceutical and consumer markets in Asia, especially Southeast Asia, in the next stage.

The article also mentions that this may be related to Dadao Group's recent announcement that it is optimistic about Asian pharmaceutical technology and consumption upgrade strategies.

In gossip magazines and on online platforms, the focus of discussion is mostly on the private relationship between Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Yun.

Huang Xiaochuan's stay at Zhang Yun's private residence, and the fact that photos of him were taken, has sparked much speculation.

For example, one tabloid headline read, "Billionaire Meets with His Soulmate: Is It for Business Expansion or a Rekindling of an Old Flame?"

These reports and speculations quickly appeared on the desks and computers of the general public and business tycoons. Renowned author Siji Jiucai (四季韭菜) has joined Cola Novels with his new work, "1990, I'm Back!"

Charlie Cho naturally saw these reports as well. After all, they were related to his boss, so how could he not care?

He admired his boss immensely; this feint was brilliant, drawing away media attention and giving him better cover for secretly allocating funds.

Zhang Sui, who was far away in New York, also saw the news online. She just raised her eyebrows and continued to devote herself to her work. Now that she had financial support, the pressure was instantly reduced.

Inside the Xue Group office, Zhang Yun browsed the news on the website with a calm expression. Her assistant cautiously asked her if she needed to do any public relations clarification.

Zhang Yun waved her hand: "There's no need. If they want to guess, let them guess!"

She paused briefly before adding, "As long as it doesn't involve Yavin and Luca, we don't need to pay attention to them."

"Understood!"

On the plane, Huang Xiaochuan saw these reports on his computer. He browsed through them with great interest. The journey was long and boring, so reading these articles was quite interesting and helped him pass the time.

Not long after, Gao Song came to him with the phone: "Mr. Huang, it's Mr. Zhang from Soso.com calling."

Huang Xiaochuan reached out and took the phone from Gao Song. A familiar voice came from the phone.

Huang Xiaochuan laughed and scolded, "Damn it, how come you've become so gossipy?"

Zhang Xiangguang said on the phone with an air of seriousness, "Of course, I'd rather believe it's true."

Huang Xiaochuan scoffed, "Too bad, you'll be disappointed."

Zhang Xiangguang continued to press the issue: "Why don't I believe it?" In his view, such an opportunity was rare, so why not take advantage of Huang Xiaochuan to the fullest? Who told this bastard to keep bringing up his habit of changing girlfriends?

Huang Xiaochuan, of course, wouldn't tolerate this bald guy: "Believe it or not, if you call me about this, I'm hanging up."

"No, no, no!" Zhang Xiangguang quickly called out to stop him.

"Is there anything else?"

Zhang Xiangguang then got back to the point: "Can you give me some information? I know you're definitely planning something big."

Huang Xiaochuan flatly refused him: "No!"

Zhang Xiangguang, who was full of expectations, was almost choked to death by Huang Xiaochuan's direct rejection.

How could Huang Xiaochuan possibly reveal his plan to this bald man? This bald man is a complete blabbermouth; if he knew, what would be the point of playing the game?

After saying that, Huang Xiaochuan hung up the phone.

Zhang Xiangguang wasn't annoyed at all. At that moment, a report appeared on his computer screen, saying that Huang Xiaochuan was known for his accurate and aggressive macroeconomic judgments. His secret meeting with Zhang Yun, who was also proficient in capital operations, made it hard not to think that they were brewing some big move targeting a specific market or asset class. Although the specific direction was still unclear, the market had to be vigilant.

That's why Zhang Xiangguang called Huang Xiaochuan – he wanted to know if this was true. Now he was certain it was true, but he couldn't guess where Huang Xiaochuan was planning to start, so he could only wait quietly.

The local capital circles in Singapore were in an uproar. Bigwigs who could speak with Zhang Yun tried to find out the true purpose of Huang Xiaochuan's trip through various channels, hoping to get on board and share some of the profits. Unfortunately, Zhang Yun politely declined them all.
