Chapter 113: Failed Investors
When standing on the bridge and looking down, my heart was full of desperation, but when I leaped down and sank into the lake, Li Yuanhu felt a sudden and huge oppression. The lake water squeezed him from all angles without any obstacles, as if to squeeze the blood in his body into his skin.
Although he didn't regret jumping into the lake, Li Yuanhu still felt that he had a little miscalculation. Such a way of dying may not be the best choice. Thinking of the name given to him by his dead father, Yuanhu, Yuanhu, just stay away from the lake!
Unexpectedly, my father could speak besides teaching! Assuming he was really far away from the lake, there would be no danger! If he went further and changed himself to Li Dejin or something, he wouldn't have to commit suicide for money!
But this was just a moment of random thoughts, like a flash of time, and like a flash of thunder, flashing through my heart. Then Li Yuanhu felt his stomach swelling, and then he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found that he was not dead. There were crowds of people around him, and the old lifeguard shouted, "Everyone let him go and give him some breath. Don't die from jumping into the lake, but you will be suffocated to death!"
It's not dead! It seems that I've been rescued by someone!
However, Li Yuanhu felt that it doesn't matter whether he died or not. Once a person walks through the brink of death, he will suddenly see the views on many issues. Many things he had cared about in the past were not worth mentioning or ridiculous.
Fan Wubing hugged the calf for a while. He didn't make any preparations and didn't swim very much, so he jumped into the lake and felt a little uncomfortable. The temperature of the lake here was relatively low, and the high temperature outside had a huge contrast with the low temperature of the lake. Therefore, under this strong stimulation, the muscles had strong spasms, so the calf cramps became cramps.
Fortunately, Fan Wubing is firm in his will, has super physical strength, and has fast adaptability. Otherwise, he would probably have trapped himself in. After all, it is hundreds of meters away from the lake shore. Ordinary people have cramps in their legs and feet, so how can they keep swimming so far? Besides, he is dragging someone who falls into the water!
Feng Ping had already rowed a boat and chased after him. Seeing that Fan Wubing and the person who fell into the water were fine, she felt relieved.
"Didn't you say you can't swim?" Feng Ping still remembered this and couldn't help asking.
"You really can't swim!" Fan Wubing said with a grievance, "Have you ever seen that person who can swim has leg cramps?"
Feng Ping thought that this made sense, but the useful posture of Fan Wubing just now was very casual and the speed was amazingly fast, which was really strange.
The old lifeguard interrupted, "Does the leg cramps do not know how to swim? This is not the case! The old saying is very clear, you can swim if you drown!"
Fan Wubing immediately glared at the old man, thinking that I was so relaxed to fool people? I finally deceived Feng Ping a little bit, and you, the old man, came out to cause trouble. It's really hateful!
The old man felt the powerful lethality burst out from Fan Wubing's eyes and immediately walked away embarrassedly.
"Can you swim?" Feng Ping, who was suspicious of the old man's words, continued.
"Can't you not be able to learn yet? I am a genius who am I afraid of?!" Fan Wubing replied angrily.
Too lazy to pay attention to Feng Ping, Fan Wubing squatted down and looked at the situation of the lake seeker. This was a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair was long ago, his temples were a little gray, but he looked a little pretty. Even after being soaked by the lake water, his face was a little bit shrunk. Seeing that his belly became much bigger, he vomited a lot of water one after another.
The people around watched for a while, and saw that nothing happened, they gradually dissipated. The old lifeguard brought a bowl of ginger soup from somewhere, helped Li Yuanhu to drink it, drove away the cold and bad luck of the Affiliated High School, and gradually became more and more energetic.
The old man said to himself, "Why can't you think it's okay? You should know that there are at least twenty drowned ghosts under the bridge. They have been repeated, year after year, basically two new water ghosts are recruited every year. Today, you are lucky. One is the sun shining brightly and the yang energy is in full swing. The other is the help of noble people. This little brother is lucky and dispels the bad luck in your body, and then saves your life!"
Damn, if I don’t wear clothes, you can tell that I am a noble person?! Fan Wubing immediately curled his lips and thought to himself that this old man was running a train, and some were not talking nonsense here, but he looked sarcastic, which was very confusing. If he went out to set up a stall, he would be able to cheat a few dollars.
Li Yuanhu sat up and nodded to Fan Wubing, "Thank you."
"Why is this?" Fan Wubing scratched his head, pondered for a while and asked.
If it weren't for seeing Li Yuanhu's unfamiliar appearance, if it wasn't for saving him, if it wasn't for being idle and having nothing to do, and if Feng Ping had to divert attention from her, Fan Wubing would probably have asked Li Yuanhu about the reason why he jumped into the lake.
It is naturally sad to see people jumping into the lake. Since they have not died, why should I uncover their scars?
"My name is Li Yuanhu--" Li Yuanhu was silent for a moment. Perhaps because he was soaked in the lake water, he simply told Fan Wubing about the reason for his visit to the lake. Or, this kind of thing can also serve as a warning to the younger generation, right?
Li Yuanhu is also a beneficiary of the reform and opening up policies. He is the first group of people to go into business. After making some money, he is eager to make more money. At the beginning of this year, he keenly felt the huge changes in the policy level and wanted to do something different in this booming reform environment.
In the early 1970s, in order to deal with the possible world wars at any time, large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing and Shanghai built many air raid shelters. They have been cold and vacant for many years. Now, brain-minded people suddenly find that this is the best place for business and entertainment.
When Li Yuanhu went to Beijing to do business, he noticed that more than 100,000 people in Beijing worked in these underground military fortifications. They opened hundreds of table tennis halls, karaoke centers, cinemas and underground hostels. There were as many as 40,000 beds in the hostel alone.
Whenever night falls, long-haired young men in jeans flock there, the air is humid and turbid, and the colorful lights are spinning in the dim lights. Here people consume excess energy, resell foreign exchange, and try new lifestyles.
"So I thought, since Beijing and Shanghai can do such underground activities, why can't we do it?" Li Yuanhu said to Fan Wubing, "Not to say it, there are many large underground fortifications in Longcheng, so I found friends, cleared the relationship between the armed forces, rented a large air-raid shelter, and prepared to build an underground hotel and a playground."
Li Yuanhu's idea is very good, and unlike others, he retained the original appearance of the air-raid shelter, so that the staying passengers can truly feel that they are enjoying different accommodation services. In the non-accommodation areas, billiards halls, bars, shooting ranges and weapons display exhibition areas are set up.
"This should be a good idea, how can you lose money?" Fan Wubing heard Li Yuanhu say this and remembered that when he was in college, the school's armed forces department used the large fortifications below to set up a national defense education center. The model is similar to what Li Yuanhu mentioned. It can be connected to shooting technology, drink some beer, eat some barbecue, etc. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is very comfortable. In my memory, the business there is very good.
Especially on the weekend, the students rushed over in groups, and each room was filled with people.
It is difficult for Fan Wubing to understand that Li Yuanhu's business would actually lose money, and it would also lead to him committing suicide by jumping into the lake and committing suicide so miserably?
Li Yuanhu smiled bitterly, "In fact, within a few months after the opening, you never have to worry about losing money."
"Since you haven't lost money, why are you like this?" Fan Wubing was of course very surprised. Since it wasn't because of money, is it necessary to seek death?
Li Yuanhu replied with a disgusted look on his face, "It's urged me to die, but this is not wrong at all."
It’s not that Li Yuanhu’s business is not done well, but that he is too lucky. The weapons he used in the underground display were all physical objects provided by the armed forces, such as artillery shell anatomical examples, and they used real shells, but the gunpowder system inside had been removed.
