488: How to spend money is a problem

 After arriving at the restaurant, Gu Pan took the menu and looked over it over and over. He first selected a few must-order dishes according to his family's preferences, and then picked out some novel dishes here and there.

Shen Guanshan was dragged to the bathroom by Gu's mother, where Gu's father was staring at the large yellow croaker on the ice.

As I glanced at it, I still felt emotional at the same time.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the price of wild large yellow croaker is really ridiculous now. It was something I ate casually when I was a kid..." Gu Xing lowered his head and picked up his cell phone, and casually responded, "I can't help it. Who told the fishermen of your time to catch and kill indiscriminately?"

Nah? "Now I treat it as a treasure and raise the price!"

In terms of price, king crabs and lobsters are all inferior to the wild yellow croakers in Ningbo! Fish that were once seen everywhere at home banquets have become rare after being caught.

But Ningbo people are fond of large yellow croakers. If I don’t eat two during the holidays, I will feel uncomfortable all over. That feeling

It feels like a unique hero who has to win his first victory with his own signature hero before he can go to sleep.

In recent years, people in Ningbo have become richer and richer. Due to the imbalance between supply and demand, wild yellow croaker has been sold at sky-high prices. The price can easily reach several thousand pounds per pound, making it simply unaffordable for ordinary people!

For example, now, Gu's father is persuaded by the price and doesn't even dare to order wild large yellow croaker.

Even if Boss Ding pays for the treat, he is not the type to ruthlessly kill the culprit.

Gu Xing had no time to speculate on his father's psychological activities, and was happily browsing the post.

The counter bar was very lively.

The LPL Summer Finals is undoubtedly the most important event in the whole region throughout the summer or even the whole year. The No. 1 seed will directly represent the region in the World Championship, so the popularity is unprecedented!

Nowadays, there are endless hot posts in the Tieba. When Gu Xing saw a post analyzing the GIF of his pig girl's operation in the final game, there were thousands of replies, which is enough to show how exaggerated the popularity is!

Not to mention the rating post.

Since the bar staff have narrowed the permissions to publish rating posts, there is only one rating post after each game.

All the game spectators will go there to join in the fun.

Gu Xing swiped the screen and saw Xia Jue's rating post.

Only two and a half hours before the end of the competition, the number of comments on the post has exceeded the 2 mark, and the number of likes has exceeded

It has already exceeded 100,000!

Click in and you will see a scene of singing and dancing.

VG fans will show off their faces to the fullest!

Gu Xing saw that there were already thousands of comments just under the photo of him with his makeup done!

[No need to explain too much, Jie is the best jungler in the world!)

[Damn it, you! The champion jungler is really ruthless! 】

[I am a turtle and win four championships in one year. Some players don’t win four championships in their entire career!]

[Little* bastard, who are you implying? You are mocking me, the world’s number one Edici, right?]

[Good guy, in the three games, the three herbivorous junglers were all-round carries. I didn’t expect that the Troll Icicle defeated the opponent.

The C-position card wants to die, the prince is brave and invincible when starting a team, Sejuani also specializes in the trick demon pig, and controls the game

Full, I don’t even know how to lose!】

[Someone said before that Brother Xing and my grandma could win the championship. I still didn’t believe it. Now I have doubts.

[Hehe, Brother Fanxing is so happy. He has completely exhausted his breathing power in the post bar. There is no need to change the skin of fans. Anyway, VG always wins. Every time he surfs in the post bar, he is right.

Brother Xing is very grateful]

Gu Xing looked at the comments from netizens that praised him to the extreme, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

He knows that the commenters there are a lot of fun and critical fans.

But there are also a lot of real fans.

Gu Xing previously embarked on the road of professional e-sports, mainly to make money, and secondly to be lonely in the qualifying competition.

Lonely, I want to find a more valuable opponent.

But today, a year later, his hard work has more meaning.

One piece.

In order to live up to the expectations of supporters.

As we all know, spectators are the cornerstone of competitive sports.

Gu Xing can get a salary of tens of millions a year because of the global popularity of the League of Legends e-sports competition.

The degree of popularity.

This is one of the most successful e-sports events in history.

If Gu Xing's talent is shown in game types such as RTS, he can certainly still make money.

However, in terms of financial income and fame, it is difficult to reach the heights it is today!

He always feels very lucky.

The Dori black skill gifted to him when he was young opened up a new life track for him. It happened to coincide with the rapid development of LOL competitions, and Gu Xing was able to achieve what he is today.

The audience gave him attention and a high-paying contract, and Gu Xing naturally wanted to give back to his supporters with more perfect performance!

Swipe your finger downwards, and the makeup photos of the remaining nine contestants will come into view one after another.

Kuro’s bun face is extremely eye-catching.

[In order to support the team, I used a plane to hit Lucian. I salute you as a hero!]

[One thing to say, I admire your little anti-armor. We mocked you before! There were many people outside during the game just now, but now I kneel down for you]

[He is so team-oriented. In the first game, Syndra flashed and grabbed the blue buff from the opposite side and fed it to Brother Xing. He is simply a model of being a dog-type mid laner! 】

[Just because of this filial piety, I am never sad that Kuro won the finals, because I know that other laners don’t have Jiang Zi to play the game]

The bottom of Song Jinghao's makeup photo is full of well-intentioned ridicule, thinking that he really messed up in today's finals. Except for a few waves that moved Gu Xing to the top lane, the laning advantage is not particularly large.

Netizens in the post generally gave it a 7.

But no one blamed him.

After all, Song Jinghao's performance after joining VG this year is obvious to all. He is a stable and C-level type. In foreign battles, he can still lead the team to win games against top laners such as Khan. There is nothing to criticize in the two sets in the LPL finals.

They didn't give it to me on purpose, everyone is in bad shape sometimes.

As for the bottom lane duo, netizens praised the strength of their new routines.

[Wairui, you two are too ruthless. How could you so mindlessly cross the tower and kill in a 2v2 line in the first set of the final? 】

[Calista in the second game was really outrageous. She was sliding around with no one paying attention, and she was killing everywhere with her support]

[The effect of the incense burner is too exaggerated, right? This is not an ordinary soft assistant, it is clearly the incense burner monster! 】

[This is really a fun time for Jack. He rushes forward mindlessly in a group fight, and his teammates are all tool bodyguards]

[Why do I think the incense burner is a pure enhancement when paired with Q Dirty Dancing? He is not afraid of dealing damage, but he is afraid that he will die suddenly sometimes. A bunch of bodyguards will come to cover the team battle, and Jack can harvest it even if he just rushes forward! 】

Gu Xing thought so too.

It is said that courage is the seventh piece of equipment for ADC.

But that may be the case for others.

Not applicable to Jack.

Because courage is a going-out outfit for him!

You can see him die suddenly because of his overly aggressive positioning, but he will never die while running backwards when he collapses!

In this case, the censer's blessing to Jack will be extremely terrifying.

Especially when paired with a soft-assist dual-protection system, the incense burner can create an extremely wide output space for Yu Wenbo!

Gu Xing browsed the ratings and comments of his teammates from netizens, and from time to time liked and took screenshots of some interesting and critical comments.

After reading the VG player's rating post, he was full of expectations and turned his attention to the comment area below the Guodian players' makeup photos.

As expected, baby maggots are extremely aggressive.

The first to bear the brunt are the younger students.

[Choose Lucian for the third time, are you out of your mind?

[Really awesome, I haven’t seen any effect from this Lu Xian, why don’t you go find In

sLearn from it]

[Do you still need to look for Ins? I think Brother Si Xing’s Lucian is better at playing than UT! He can also doinb! 】

[Who says it’s useless? I can see that Kuro can be suppressed in every match!]

[Ah, yes, yes, in this game, as long as you can win the laning, it will directly determine the opponent's crystal explosion... Besides, if you choose Lucian, if you can't suppress people in the laning, I suggest you retire. Really, the whole team will give resources to the middle, your

The requirement is to be able to suppress the opponent's mid laner? Kuro doesn't need any resources, and he can't wait to give up all the blue buffs to Brother Xing. Isn't it you who can resist pressure in the lane and fight in a team?]

[From now on, I’ll call my younger brother Lu San Kneeling. I’ll go back and open an account and name it the Kneeling God Cafeteria, where I’ll cut out scenes of UT’s violent death and serve food to everyone]

Gu Xing couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Lu San kneeling there.

Maggot Baby is really one of the best in making jokes. Every time he wins a game, he can find some fun in it.

The ‘war criminals’ being punished by EDG were not just junior students.

As the soul of the team, Gui Jiao Qi naturally cannot escape the sanctions of the resistance bar.

[Mingkai, are you sending it? You can’t stand the herbivorous version! 】

[Laughing, I was captured by Brother Xing in the S6 summer finals. Zhuzai said it was a carnivorous version and Mingkai was not used to it. Now I will change you to a herbivorous version. You are still matched by Brother Xing for FMVP. What do fans say? 】

[What’s even more exaggerated is that the presence of the top laner in this version is already very low, which is infinitely beneficial to EDG. Just like this, Guodian can’t win? In another environment where the top laner can C, Maibo may be able to beat EDG and call him daddy!

[Ming Kai is like this, he is good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If you are afraid of him, then Gui Jia Qi will start to show off. He can do whatever he does to torture people like Mantis Man Gun Qian Jue, but as long as the opponent dares to hit him on the head

Gong, ancestor Seven will immediately become a coward!]

[If we really can’t do it, let’s retire. If we can’t beat Brother Xing, there’s no shame in it. How shameful would it be if we were beaten to the top 16 in the World Championship? 】

[Brazilian prisoner of war Clearlove7 emerges!]

I don’t like EDG very much.

Although the bottom of the food chain is 60E, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it seems like Maggot Baby should join forces with Guodian.

But the reality is completely different.

There is no need to join forces vertically or horizontally to resist the barbarians.

There were so many of them, their comments were extremely offensive, and they simply scolded them all, no matter if it was 60E or Piggy, they were all treated equally!

A group of people who joined Guodian from the team members to the club were hated by people, and Maggot Baby always liked to kill pigs! Gu Xing enjoyed browsing the post bar, and he didn't put down his cell phone until Gu Pan finished ordering and called him a few words.

The family has gathered and two dishes have been served.

"Come on, let's have a drink instead of wine today," Gu's father raised his glass, "Celebrating Gu Xing's victory in another championship!"

Under the light of the restaurant lights, Shen Guanshan's face was flushed, and she turned around to celebrate with Gu Xing. "Congratulations, congratulations!" Her voice was crisp, as sweet as the sound made by glasses when they collide.

"Fortunately, I have lived up to my fate," Gu Xing showed a happy smile, looking down at the Coke in his hand that caused ripples due to the collision of the cups, and felt ripples in his heart, "I have lived up to your expectations.

Shen Guanshan smiles as brightly as a flower.

Gu Pan picked up a piece of rice cake, put it into his mouth and looked satisfied, "Gu Wei, you have to keep up your efforts. Sister, whether I can enjoy a few more free meals at high-end restaurants depends on whether you work hard or not!"

After receiving the benefits, she didn't mind praising Gu Xing in person.

"It's okay," Gu Xinghao suddenly became angry and waved his hand, "Isn't it just a few meals of Xinrongji? The bonus your brother and I got from this summer competition is enough for you!"

Gu's mother was usually responsible for taking care of the family's accounts, but now she couldn't help but remind her when she heard Gu Xing acting like he was rich.

"Don't spend too much money lavishly. I heard that your e-sports career is not long. What if you retire and spend all your money?"

Gu Pan smiled brightly, "Mom, you really don't know anything about your son's earning power. Considering his status in the e-sports circle,

After you retire, you can just pick up a job and you will be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!

Gu Pan, who worked in various clubs in Shanghai during the summer to do business, knows how useful the 'Virtue' brand is in the domestic e-sports circle.

Even if he retires on the spot, Gu Xing will take it casually whether he joins the management or becomes a coach.

As long as he doesn't get involved in pornography, gambling or drugs, and he doesn't talk about being rich, he will have no problem at all in protecting himself and his family's living expenses for the rest of his life.

"How much money do you have now?" Gu's father asked casually as he picked up a piece of home-cooked yellow croaker that had just been served.

Gu Xing recalled, "12 million? It's about the same number."

His bonuses, business and live broadcast income are on one card, and the club salary is on another card. After buying a house and a car, this is probably the amount.

Don't look at the fact that Gu Xingguang's annual salary in the club is 1K, plus live streaming, bonuses and business income, the cash in his hands seems to be more than 12 million.

But he has to pay taxes.

Gu Xing did not open a company to avoid taxes legally and paid 45% tax on the excess income according to the maximum level. As a good and law-abiding citizen, he had to pay nearly 10 million in taxes to the Shanghai stock market every year.

After deducting the deductions and excluding some expenses such as banquets, you will have this little money in your hand.

This also shocked my parents.

"Ouch!" Gu's mother was sucking soybean noodles and almost choked at the amount of cash exposed by Gu Xing, "Is it so much?" She had received Gu Xing's salary before the start of the S6 World Championship, and VG went to the United States to participate.

After the game, he was worried that his son would have no money to spend in a foreign country, so he transferred the money back to Gu Xing.

After that, I never cared about my child's financial situation. I only knew that I made a lot of money, but I had no specific idea. Only now did I learn that it was eight figures!

"It's useless for you to save so much money in the bank. If it can't keep up with the inflation rate, it will eventually depreciate." Gu's father suggested from the side, "How about some investment?

Gu Xing is quite self-aware, "Come on, I can't understand the stock market at my level. What if I don't beat inflation but shrink even more?"

He always keeps cash in his hands because he doesn't know how to manage money.

My sister and Shen Guanshan didn't understand finance either, so in the end they simply kept the money in their hands.

"Buy a house!" Gu's mother added next to her, "The prices here in Shanghai are too high. Why don't you go back to Ningbo and buy? House prices are rising so fast now!"

"Really?" Gu Xing only goes back to Ningbo once in a while now. Even though he has bought a three-bedroom apartment, he usually doesn't pay much attention to the trend of housing prices.

"How can I still trick you?" Gu's father took out his cell phone and showed it to him, "Our old house has increased by several thousand square meters since the beginning of the year!"

Gu Xing took a look at it with interest, "What a guy! Is the price going up so fiercely?"

In the line chart, housing prices in Ningbo have been soaring, and the magnitude is quite terrifying!

"Especially in the new city in the east," Gu's mother also talked about the gossip, "Grandma Li downstairs and her son bought a house to be closer to the company where he works, and the down payment was almost paid back in half a year!"

Gu Pan was dumbfounded, "How can a place like Eastern New City have such a sharp increase?"

It’s really not that she has a low emotional intelligence, but that most old Ningbo people look down on Eastern New Town.

That place is south of Zhenhai. When the Gu brothers and sisters were young, the eastern part of the new city was a wasteland, so it couldn't be called an urban-rural fringe, it was considered a pure suburb!

In recent years, the city has carried out demolition and started to allocate resources to vigorously develop construction. A number of high-rise buildings have been built one after another to create the Ningbo CBD, which has become increasingly prosperous.

Since the new city was built not long ago, the green environment and urban infrastructure are far ahead, and now housing prices are rushing to the ceiling in Ningbo!

"I think Gu Xing, you can just buy a set and wait for the value to increase," Gu's father suggested, "We have to hurry up and do it. I heard that the city will start to impose purchase restrictions in October, and there will be no way to buy it again then."

Gu's mother helped, "That's right, don't you have to get married in the future? You always need a wedding room!"

She looked at Shen Guanshan, her expression filled with indescribable satisfaction.

Last fall I heard that my neighbor’s daughter was talking to her son

Gu's mother was extremely happy when she fell in love.

In her opinion, Shen Guanshan couldn't be better.

He is tall, good-looking, and very smart. His only shortcoming seems to be that he is boring.

It might be considered a flaw in others.

But Mother Gu hopes that her daughter-in-law will talk less in the future.

She has raised the Gu brothers and sisters for 18 years. She has watched the pair of social terrorists quarreling from childhood to adulthood. One is more articulate than the other and she is worried every day!

If there were another outgoing and cheerful family member, Gu's mother felt that she would be annoyed to death by them in the future.

Isn’t it true that Shen Guanshan cherishes words like gold?

"It makes sense. We need to prepare a wedding room in advance," Gu Xingshen agreed. "Otherwise, if we buy it now, wouldn't we be giving money away in vain?"

He thought about it carefully and felt that Ningbo's housing prices might be more than that.

Purchase restrictions may not be of much use.

After leaving his hometown and entering society, he realized how superior Ningbo's urban conditions were.

Just sitting in Zhoushan, the world's largest port, Ningbo's development will not be bad!

In terms of university education, it may be a little worse, but the level of colleges and universities in Zhejiang is about the same. It is all supported by the giant Zhejiang University, and underneath it is all younger schools.

However, the level of middle and high schools is quite good. There is an effective middle school in the town, and ZJ Province is very good at getting into higher education.

Coupled with a good business environment, Ningbo can be called "the future of this company is unlimited"!

House prices have to go up!

Gu Xing has no plans to speculate in real estate.

But he has to try his best to ensure that the money in his hands is spent effectively, and buy some real estate first, so that he can’t afford to buy a house in his hometown after he retires!

Isn’t that just fun?

When Shen Guanshan heard the word "bridal chamber", his ears felt as if they were dripping with blood. He didn't interrupt and just focused on his work.

"Let's discuss the place later and see the floor plan and area..." said his girlfriend beside Gu Xingtong. Seeing Shen Guanshan nodding like a fool, he turned to look at his sister, "Gu Mufen, what do you say?"

"What?" Gu Pan was still digesting the shock caused by the skyrocketing housing prices in the new eastern city that he could not afford at the moment. When his brother looked at him, he still didn't understand the situation.

"I have some spare money here, so I'll buy you a set by the way," Gu Xing's head was racing, "I'll save you half a day's money, but in the end you still can't keep up with the rising housing prices."

Gu Pan took a deep breath.

She felt very unhappy.

But there is no reason to refute it.

If housing prices in Ningbo continue to rise like this, by the time she graduates, she will probably be able to put together the money she has worked so hard to save for a down payment!

While Gu Pan was sizing up the situation, Gu Xing was striking while the iron was hot.

"I won't give you a house for free. When you graduate, you will have to pay me back the original price of the house!" Quan should be lent to Gu Pan temporarily.

This sentence made my sister feel relieved, "Okay, thank you, Gu Xing!"

She thanked her sincerely.

Gu Pan knew very well that it was a great favor for his brother to lend him money to buy a house.

The Gu family's parents looked at the happy brother and sister, and were content to chat with Shen Guanshan.

"Xiao Shen, you don't know that when they were not in elementary school, the two of them fought every day at home. One time, Gu Pan kicked Gu Xing under the bed and made him cry so loudly that the neighbors downstairs all I can hear it!"

Gu's mother's face glowed brightly when she talked about the embarrassing things that happened to her child when she was young.

"Mom, can you please stop talking..." Gu Xing couldn't listen anymore, "It's damaging to my image!"

Gu Pan was so happy that he slapped his thigh and smiled like a goose.

She had no memory of what happened when she was a child. Now that her mother mentioned it, Gu Pan realized that she also had her highlight moments.

Shen Guanshan couldn't help laughing, covering his mouth and snickering.

Gu Xing chose to repeat his old trick and changed the topic again, "I should have quite a few free days these days. I'll accompany you and your elders to go around the imperial capital. Are there any special spots you want to visit?"

He will have nothing to do tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow - that is, at the end of the bubble game

One day, I had to go back to Wukesong Stadium in the evening to prepare for the expedition ceremony and catch up on some interviews.

There is relatively more free time.

"The Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs and the Lama Temple?" Gu's father licked his fingers, "I feel like I can't finish the tour in two days!"

The couple originally booked their return tickets for Monday, but now that they think about it, they feel they didn't think carefully about it.

"Then let's stay a little longer," Gu Pan pestered his parents, "What's the benefit of going back to Zhenhai?" "How long have we not gotten along well? When we were young, you two were busy raising a family. Wait until I grow up. I have to think about making money and getting a job, and the time for meeting each other is getting shorter and shorter. Now I have a great opportunity to enjoy family happiness. Don’t miss this opportunity again!”

Gu Xing has always left this kind of work to his sister.

When it comes to playing the emotional card and persuading, Gu Pan is undoubtedly better!

The parents couldn't stand their daughter holding hands and swinging around acting coquettishly, so they agreed to stay in the imperial capital for another week.

After the family had eaten and drank, Shen Guanshan and Gu Pan had to go back to school to rest. Gu Xing saw that his parents had a look of exhaustion on their faces after a long journey, and reminded the two girls to be careful and pay attention to safety on the road. My local parents sent me to the hotel to check in.

"Wait..." Shen Guanshan pinched the Patrick Star pendant on the zipper of his backpack, pulled out a beautiful packaging box from the bag and handed it to his boyfriend, "I said I would give you a surprise after the Summer Games is over, here."

When Gu Xing saw the box, he was happy but also a little disappointed.

It seemed that the plot was different from what he had expected.

"What the hell is this?" Gu Xing looked at the palm-sized box and could tell that the items inside were not heavy. "We'll look at it when you get back!" Shen Guanshan waved goodbye to him and agreed to see him again tomorrow morning, and then I took my sister-in-law's hand and rushed to the subway station. Her short hair was swaying, and she was obviously in a good mood.
