Now that the biggest forces hindering them in the TV series, Mr. Yiye and Qin Huairu, have been removed by him, no one can stop the family of three from reuniting.

Judging from the attire of Lou Xiao'e and He Xiao, the Lou family should be in a good situation in Xiangjiang, and he should be able to provide help by studying abroad in Xiangjiang.

At that time, Lou Xiao'e fled to Xiangjiang with her parents. When Lou's father first arrived in Xiangjiang, he was not familiar with the place and the language barrier. Although he brought some wealth with him, he had no business and was left with nothing. It was difficult to make a living in Xiangjiang.

Later, the Chinese Securities Exchange was established, and a stock trading craze started in Hong Kong. Lou's father also enthusiastically joined in, and relied on this wave to make some money before he stabilized his feet in Hong Kong.

Lou Xiao'e got pregnant with He Xiao not long after arriving in Xiangjiang, which made her understand that it was not she who had the problem with Xu Damao in the Siheyuan, but Xu Damao, who caused her to suffer in vain for several years and drank a lot.

Bitter Chinese medicine.

After she gave birth to He Xiao, she was admitted to Xiangjiang University to study economics. There were many young talents pursuing her in the university, but she could never forget the love she had with He Yuzhu.

In the 1960s, Xiangjiang continued to develop and expand its manufacturing industry, following the pace of the previous decade. Strong economic growth made Xiangjiang one of the Four Asian Tigers, as famous as Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. With the rapid economic development, coupled with the

*Also actively developing infrastructure and public housing, the quality of life of Xiangjiang residents has generally improved.

The 1970s was the period when Hong Kong's economy took off. It could also be said to be the era when a new generation of nouveau riche came. Xiangjiang began to implement the policy of economic diversification, and Hong Kong's finance, real estate, trade, and tourism developed rapidly.

Lou Xiao'e, who studied economics at university, discovered this business opportunity and decisively entered the financial and real estate fields, thereby enjoying the dividends brought by Hong Kong's economic boom.

Now the Lou family real estate company has many buildings, commercial buildings, and factories under its name, and they are not for sale but only for rent. Their net worth is now about 1 billion yuan, making them one of the wealthy families in Hong Kong.

Over the years, Lou Xiao'e secretly went back to the capital several times through connections, but because of the situation, she never dared to go to the courtyard to tell He Yuzhu that he had a son.

In fact, Lou Xiao'e has secretly returned to Beijing several times in the past few years, and she also knows that the storm there was only violent in the first three years after the storm started. As time went by, everyone understood that it was better to live their own small lives.

Moreover, the last time she went back, she found out clearly that Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong, who had caused her the most harm back then, had long since resigned and were no longer directors of the steel rolling mill.

If she takes He Xiao back to the courtyard now, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong will not be able to do anything to her mother and son. What's more, she has settled in Xiangjiang and her identity will be different when she returns, so they will be even less able to threaten her mother and son.

This time, Lou Xiao'e still planned to take He Xiao back to Beijing. She had already found out in advance that the situation was stable before she dared to take He Xiao back to the courtyard to meet He Yuzhu to recognize her. He Xiao was already thirteen years old, so it was time to go back and meet He Yuzhu to recognize her.

After kissing each other, Lou Xiaoe took advantage of the summer vacation to take He Xiao back to the courtyard to meet He Yuzhu.

Bai Zirui heard Lou Xiao'e's introduction to the Lou family's situation in Xiangjiang. Although the Lou family is now a moderately wealthy family in Xiangjiang, the hardships along the way cannot be explained to outsiders.

Xiangjiang is a small island on the southern border of the motherland. On the eve of the Opium War in 1840, it was a very backward small island based on a natural economy. At that time, there were only more than 5,000 residents, most of whom were engaged in fishing, quarrying, and farming.

.

After the British occupied Xiangjiang in 1841, they began to build Victoria City in the north of Jiangdao, attracting people from all over the world to come to the island for trade. The main trading partner was China, importing opium to it in exchange for silver and other substances, which promoted Xiangjiang's shipping, shipbuilding, warehouses, and inns.

, the development of commerce, trade and banking became the main source of early capital accumulation.

In 1851, the Taiping Rebellion rose in South China. A large number of residents from the mainland fled to Xiangjiang. Many wealthy businessmen, compradors and other wealthy families went there with their capital. This not only caused the population of Xiangjiang to increase rapidly, but also the number of shops and business names, and the commercial activities became increasingly prosperous.

In 1860, during the Second Sino-British Opium War, Britain forced the Qing government to cede the Kowloon Peninsula and completely control Hong Kong. The Hong Kong re-export trade increased rapidly, establishing the geographical advantage of the entre-port port.

After more than ten years of development, after 1870, major commercial banks began to shift their business focus from commodity trading to finance, shipping and trade service industries. This shift led to the rapid rise of the banking industry.

Because he encouraged small and medium-sized commercial banks to participate in foreign trade with preferential loans, Xiangjiang's role as an entrepot became more and more important, and its role in promoting its economic development became stronger and stronger.

With the development of the economy and the increase in population, municipal utilities and port facilities have been further improved. The real estate and construction industries are rising day by day, the shipbuilding and repairing industry has developed rapidly, and the entrepot trade has also achieved considerable development.

In 1898, under the pressure of the British, the Qing government leased the rural New Territories and 235 islands to the British for a period of 99 years. Since then, the administrative area of ​​​​Xiangjiang has an additional population of 85,000 and the land area has increased 11 times, laying the foundation for the future development of Xiangjiang.

Provides a lot of human resources and space leeway.

After the opening of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway in 1911, the land transportation capacity between Xiangjiang and the mainland was greatly enhanced, and the economic development rose sharply.

As a result, economic development has its ups and downs from time to time, but overall it is on an upward trend.

After Kai Tak Airport was put into use in 1926, it further strengthened the connection between Hong Kong and other countries around the world, creating new and good conditions for its development.

In 1937, after the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the center of China's foreign trade shifted southward. Xiangjiang became the hub of China's foreign trade during the war, and its economic status became even more important.

After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, mainland manufacturers began to come to Hong Kong to operate. In 1941, there were more than 1,200 Chinese-owned factories and more than 90,000 employees, and Hong Kong showed a prosperous scene.

In December of the same year, the Japanese invaded Xiangjiang. During this period until August 1945, Xiangjiang's economy was severely damaged, its industry shrank, foreign trade almost came to a standstill, and its population dropped significantly, from 1.639 million in August 1941 to 60 in August 1945.

Thousands of people.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it took four years to heal the wounds of the war, and the status of a free port was restored in 1949. After 1950, due to the US blockade and embargo on mainland China, Hong Kong's entrepot trade stagnated and declined.

Forced by this situation, Xiangjiang used funds and labor from the motherland's inland and Southeast Asia to develop labor-intensive industries and embark on the road of export-oriented industrialization.

By 1959, the proportion of its own manufactured products in total exports had risen to 69.9%, surpassing re-exports for the first time, realizing the transformation from a re-export trade port to a processing trade-based industrial city, laying the foundation for future economic development.

Base.

From the 1960s to the 1970s, Xiangjiang's economy continued to develop steadily. Especially in the 10 years before 1982, many places around the world experienced economic turmoil, but Xiangjiang's GDP grew rapidly at an average annual rate of 9.6%.
