Chapter 36: Hurry up and have a baby
After the operation was completed, Yang Hai notified Huang Fulin at the same time. The trader immediately closed the position, turned to shorting international crude oil futures, and closely monitored the fluctuations in the trading prices of international crude oil futures.

Only one day later, on the third day, Huang Fulin called Yang Hai and told him that today's international crude oil futures trading price suddenly dropped by more than two dollars a barrel, and now it is quoted at 96.47 dollars a barrel.

Yang Hai instructed Huang Fulin to quickly ask the trader to close the position and then turn to long international crude oil futures.

In a few days, it will break through $100 a barrel. This is just a small correction. It should not fall too much. A drop to more than $96 a barrel should be enough. It should slowly rise again and eventually break through $2 a barrel on February 28 or 29, setting a new record for the highest international crude oil futures price.

This time, Yang Hai only shorted 1 lots and did not make much money, just over 2000 million US dollars. The total assets in his account reached more than 6000 million US dollars.

Yang Hai felt that his funds were a little short. He originally wanted to buy more, but finally thought about it and gave up. He only bought 2 lots. He thought that the price should not fall below US$94, so 2 lots were relatively safe.

Anyway, there are people watching it 24 hours a day. If it really doesn't work, you can just transfer more funds in at that time. As long as it doesn't get liquidated, there will be no problem.

The next day, the international crude oil futures trading price stopped falling and rebounded, rising slightly.

Although the increase is not much, it is good enough as long as it increases, at least the decline has been stopped.

On February 2, Shen Ruobing took the initiative to call Yang Hai and asked him to go back to the Shen family with her.

Yang Hai was very cooperative in this regard. After all, he was able to get started quickly because his first pot of gold was given by others. Since he had taken their money, of course he had to cooperate with them and play the role of husband well.

Today has been the third day since the last time the two of them parted on bad terms. Yang Hai has not called Shen Ruobing, and Shen Ruobing has not called him either. The two of them seem to have returned to the state they were in at the beginning.

When they arrived at the Shen family, Mr. and Mrs. Shen were still as enthusiastic as usual towards Yang Hai, their son-in-law.

"Ahai! The housing prices are really changing every day. There is a price but no demand. The price is there but no demand! The price of residential housing has dropped from 2 yuan per square meter at its highest point last year to just over 1 yuan now, but it is still not selling. The transaction volume is pitifully small." After seeing Yang Hai, Mr. Shen couldn't help but talk about the real estate market again.

If it weren't for Yang Hai's analysis, the Shen Group would have acted decisively and proactively given up a little profit at the highest point of housing prices, clearing out all the houses for sale in the real estate projects developed by the Shen Group. If it had been delayed until now, the losses would have been huge.

At this time, the price has dropped to 10,000, and it is already difficult to sell.

If this situation continues, housing prices will surely continue to fall.

"The current price is more than 1 yuan per square meter. It would be good if we can sell it. Keeping it will only make the price drop further." Yang Hai nodded and said with a smile.

"The real estate market is now in a state of misery. Many real estate agents have closed their businesses and run away. It is difficult to sell a house in a month, and we can't even make back the rent of the shops." Father Shen said again, shaking his head.

Although he has reduced a lot of losses, he is still not happy seeing the current situation of the real estate market.

“The situation will only get worse in the future. This financial crisis will cause many people to go bankrupt, and many factories and businesses will close down. Even those that are barely able to maintain operations will not have many orders.” Yang Hai said with a heavy heart.

"Many people will lose their jobs and be forced to return to their hometowns to farm, which will eventually lead to a wave of mortgage defaults. Banks will also face a very serious situation. After repossessing the houses, will the banks be able to cash them out? Because they can't sell them at all, and even if they sell them, they can't recover all the loans."

"People who have already bought houses don't want their houses to depreciate, but developers have to lower prices to recover their capital, which will eventually inspire owners to take action to protect their rights. In short, under the influence of this global financial crisis, everyone is having a hard time."

"However, the country will sooner or later introduce policies to stimulate the economy, and countries around the world will also actively find ways to introduce various measures to promote economic recovery."

"So as long as we get through this difficult time, there is still hope for the future."

"The economy will always move forward, so housing prices will rise again sooner or later." Father Shen said, "You are quite optimistic. Okay! Let's not talk about these annoying things."

"Tell me about the development of your company now? Have you found any suitable projects for investment?"

"Everything is going smoothly in the company's development. We have also signed some investment projects and are still recruiting new employees to continue expanding the company's scale." Yang Hai said with a relaxed look.

"That's okay, but in the current environment, there are no good investment projects. If it really doesn't work, just take your time. Don't be anxious. Remember not to invest blindly. Instead of investing blindly, it's better to wait for the best opportunity." Father Shen advised.

After dinner, Shen's mother suddenly said, "You two have been married for so long, why is there still no movement?"

"If it doesn't work, I think you two should take some time to go to the hospital for a checkup to see what's going on."

"If there is any problem, seek treatment early to avoid delaying important matters."

"You two are not young anymore. Ruobing is almost thirty years old too."

"If I don't hurry up and have a baby, I'll be an elderly mother in the future."

"Mom! Having a baby is not that easy. Do you think you can just give birth to a baby whenever you want? There are many people who haven't gotten pregnant after being married for several years. Isn't that normal?" Shen Ruobing said quickly.

"When the time comes, it will come naturally."

However, Shen's mother's words also reminded Shen Ruobing, is it true that Yang Hai has health problems?
After all, Yang Hai was a married man, and he had been married to his ex-wife for several years but they had no children.

She and Yang Hai had had sex more than once, and she did not take any contraceptive measures.

Originally Shen Ruobing was a little worried about whether she might be pregnant, but her relatives had just arrived in the past two days, so there was no possibility of pregnancy at all.

Yang Hai smiled but didn't dare to say anything.

The reason why he and his ex-wife did not have children after several years of marriage was because Zhang Lihong did not want to have children. Zhang Lihong had been pregnant once, but had a miscarriage.

After that, the two of them had been taking contraceptive measures, and Yang Hai was sure that there was nothing wrong with his body.

However, it is hard to say whether Shen Ruobing has any health problems. Although the two have been married for more than half a year, they did not have sex for the first time until New Year's Day this year.

Although the two had sex many times when they went back to their hometown for the New Year, the fact that they didn't get pregnant doesn't mean anything.

Mother Shen always felt that the two of them were not a normal couple. Moreover, they had been married for more than half a year but there was still no sign of anything happening, which made her even more suspicious.

"Today is the Lantern Festival. You two shouldn't go back. Stay at home for one night and chat with us two old people." Mother Shen said.

"I'll make you some soup to replenish your body's nutrition."
