Yi Chuanzong and his wife traveled lightly with their two children. They first flew from Sijiu City to Guangzhou, then took a train to Kowloon, and finally took a large cargo ship to cross the river to Xiangjiang.
It was ten minutes at noon, the sea level was not low, and standing on the cargo ship was much higher than the shore.
Lou Xiao'e looked down, her eyes roaming among the group of people, and finally landed on an old man who was relatively skinny but full of majesty, and beside him was a middle-aged woman wearing gold and wearing a dignified appearance.
After seeing it, Lou Xiao'e's eyes lit up and she stretched her arms back and forth excitedly, "Dad! Mom! I'm here." She grabbed the railing with one hand and waved her right hand constantly to make herself more visible.
Yi Chuanzong felt a little helpless, but he could also understand that the mother and daughter were forced to leave for a different place. Who could really let go?
However, Lou Xiao'e was grabbing the guardrail and jumping around without any sense of safety, almost jumping into the sea.
He could only stretch out one leg to hook the person, forming an independent posture like a golden rooster.
Don't talk about why you don't use your hands. The problem is that you have a baby in one hand. The little guy's eyes are also very novel. Looking at the seabirds flying in the sky, if he didn't have the ability to autonomously, he would definitely jump up and try to see if he can reach it.
Because of his relatively good eyesight, Yi Chuanzong could see the expressions of Lou's father and Lou's mother.
Father Lou was in high spirits, but there was a hint of sadness in his brows. At this moment, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, but a cheerful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lou's mother covered her mouth excitedly with one hand and waved the other hand rapidly, but she was older and would not lose her composure like Lou Xiao'e.
There are seven or eight middle-aged strong men beside them, including the third uncle and fifth uncle who Yi Chuanzong has met. They are still in their prime and can share the worries of Lou's father and Lou's mother. As for the two domestic servants in front.
I heard that Lou Xiao'e said that she was older than Lou's father, and she only played the role of housekeeper. Yi Chuanzong had never seen her, so it was obvious that she was not young, so she didn't follow her.
"Okay, calm down for a while, it's not safe." Yi Chuanzong felt that this posture was a bit weird, so he told Lou Xiao'e that he was making trouble.
Lou Xiao'e nodded vigorously, her mood recovered a little, and she discovered a scary fact!
Looking down, she saw that the ship's deck was five meters higher than the platform on the shore. Just looking at it made people tremble, and she was standing on the very edge now.
"How do we get down?" Lou Xiao'e was a little confused after taking a look. In fact, she was not afraid of heights. When she came, she could stand on the deck and look at the sea. But now that it was on the gray-white cement floor, she was very scared.
"Don't worry, there will be a ladder later." Yi Chuanzong said, and then added, "If that doesn't work, I'll put the child down first, and I'll take you down later."
Women are really strange emotional creatures. Just now they were standing on the edge of the deck whining like shit, but now they were scared when they went down the stairs.
"Do you dislike me?"
"No……"
While the couple was quarreling, some ladders had already been set up, and Yi Chuanzong sent people down one by one.
On the shore, Lou Xiao'e and Lou's mother were each holding a baby. They were originally very happy to meet again after a long absence, and their little grandson came over. For some reason, the two of them chatted but there were faint signs of crying.
"Come on, let's go home first." Lou's father said hello from the side, and the third uncle went to drive without even making any gestures.
Yi Chuanzong smiled and joked: "Okay, Dad, when you come here, we will have a special car to deliver you."
Father Lou smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The dividends of the new era are not in Sijiu City. Here they are just transportation tools. They are not big things."
Yi Chuanzong shrugged and did not continue to be polite. In Xiangjiang, only those with status can have a car. What Lou's father said was not the Four-Nine City. It was too difficult.
At the level of Director Yang, it is not a special car, but a factory unit. It is better not to answer the phone at this time. After all, Lou’s father really had a car before! A shareholder of the steel rolling mill!
After a while, two black cars with a slightly flat appearance slowly drove over. The two cars were boxy, with only the corners having some curvature. The dark bodies seemed to be smeared with oil, making them look majestic.
Solemn and high-end.
The wide grille and bumper treatment, as well as the curved side windows, are all impressive. It looks full of power. The two silver-white 'ss' on the front of the car represent Chevrolet.
After putting his wife in a car behind him, Yi Chuanzong opened the door at the back and got in.
"Let's drive."
The third child nodded and started the car directly. At this time, Father Lou also came over mysteriously, "Zhuanzong, have you brought the things I asked you to bring? I heard that you took a plane when you came here? What should I do with those things?"
"
As soon as Yi Chuanzong heard this, he understood that this thing was talking about nothing else but the savings that Father Lou had hidden back then!
The quantity is no more or less, that is, one ton, which is quite a lot on the mainland, but in this open place, it is not considered a merchant giant.
"Dad, don't worry about this. Eighty percent of it has arrived now. I've hidden it in Kowloon. When the last two percent arrives, I'll pick it up myself. It can be shipped in two days at most," Yi Chuanzong replied.
.
The smile on Father Lou's face became much brighter, "Of course I can rest assured when you do things."
Having said that, Yi Chuanzong still saw the reluctance in Lou's father's smile. Logically speaking, with this large sum of money, Lou's father could make a lot of noise even if he didn't say anything about it. It was a good time to show off his skills.
Why are you so worried?
Father Lou didn't say anything, which means that this is not the place to talk about things. He just asked because Yi Chuanzong's matters were too important.
The two fell into silence, but the car behind them was different. Lou's mother and Lou Xiao'e were chatting enthusiastically, and the two children were greedy. The atmosphere was very lively, and they were chatting happily one after another.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a single-family villa. It was a three-story building with a Western style. The first floor occupied an area of only 300 square meters and had a wider yard.
Yi Chuanzong couldn't help but be surprised after seeing it. In a place as big as Xiangjiang, housing is quite tight. Having such a big yard is not an easy task. Spending money is one thing, and whether you can buy it is another.
.
Thinking of the complicated situation here and what Lou's father now owned, he couldn't help but sigh, "Dad, you are really amazing! You have made so much money in just one year."
Father Lou shook his head, with an expression like "I'm not good enough", "I've had experience before. I made a small profit by playing unpopular games. I messed around here and there and couldn't get on the stage."
Yi Chuanzong was speechless for a moment. He suspected that his father-in-law was in Versailles, and there was evidence!
"Okay, stop talking, let's go inside and talk. I have a lot of things to discuss with you!" Father Lou did not look relaxed at all, but was extremely serious.
This was the attitude when he first arrived. It was obvious that he was in real trouble. Yi Chuanzong followed directly upstairs without any ink marks. At the same time, he scanned the room a little and found that the decoration in the room was antique, which was even better than some villas in later generations.
It has a historical charm and can be called extremely luxurious.
Lou Xiao'e saw this and asked with concern: "Mom, what happened?"
Lou's mother hesitated to speak, then shook her head, "You still have the child, so don't ask about this kind of thing. Your father will definitely have something to do."
Lou Xiao'e's face darkened. These words were completely comforting. Now, she could only count on her husband and thought to herself: 'He is such a ghost, there must be something he can do, right?'
At this moment, she felt a sense of urgency in her heart. She originally thought that Yi Chuanzong was as lazy as she was, but at every casual point in life, the gap between the two could be seen, which made her feel a sense of urgency.
pressure.
At the same time, a thought came to mind, 'If I were more capable than this bastard, would I still worry about being unable to control him?'
At this moment, she wanted to improve, but she had no good way. After thinking about it, it seemed that Yi Chuanzong also asked her to read more books. Naturally, she spent three days fishing and two days drying the net, but now there was a hint of hope.
Regret, no wonder she is always the one being bullied.
The study room on the second floor is similar to the layout of the study room in Sijiucheng. There are a bunch of red sandalwood and huanghuali furniture, and green smoke and birds on the tea table. A smell of it makes people feel refreshed.
After the two men sat down, Father Lou's first words made Yi Chuanzong jump up. He shouted loudly, "What, are you going to move away?"
Father Lou's face was very troubled, "I don't want to either, but you should know the current situation of Chuanzong. What happened in October this year has definitely changed the situation. Things will change here soon."
Yi Chuanzong frowned. He remembered that this person had not moved away. He had always been hanging around here. Why did he have this idea now?
Suddenly, he figured it out. It turned out that Lou's father and Lou's mother would not come here until six or five years ago. By then, everything that was supposed to happen today had already happened. They were desperate and didn't have much money. It would be nice to have a place to stay.
In fact, Father Lou in the original book probably thought the same way, because his house had been ransacked, and he was like a frightened bird, worried at the slightest sign of trouble.
The solution to the problem is also easy to find. If there is a backer who can withstand it, their family will naturally not think of leaving. After all, leaving this time will be considered as really leaving home, and it requires a deep determination in the heart.
This backer is actually very easy to find. Two words, marriage.
Lou's father's abilities are truly incredible. His house had been confiscated and he only had a little bit of money left. However, with this small amount of money, he managed to build a family business in Xiangjiang and even become a rich man.
These days, if you don’t run away, that’s your real skill!
Now, Lou Xiao'e naturally takes good care of her children, so this problem must be solved by Yi Chuanzong.
Yi Chuanzong hesitated for a long time, carefully thought through his thoughts, and then slowly said: "Dad, I think you didn't think deeply enough this time!"
It's easy to tell things, but it's very difficult to convince Father Lou with facts!
When Lou's father saw Yi Chuanzong's confident look, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I would like to hear the details!" This son-in-law is quite powerful. Although he has not done any specific operations, his active thinking and far-reaching vision make even him.
Consider yourself invincible.
Now he is officially worried about some things that he has not yet seen clearly. If Yi Chuanzong can analyze them, he feels that the fog in front of him will be lifted.
"You have completely underestimated our strength." Old God Yi Chuanzong said from the ground.
"Strength?" Father Lou didn't understand.
Yi Chuanzong said with distant eyes: "Dad, do you think our eyes are only on this three-thirds of an acre? Think about the previous treaty, and then think about our current strength. You also bought a steel plant, although the original intention was
Everything is different, but it is ultimately a good thing, and it cannot be said to be a heinous crime. What dynasty didn't do it when it was just doing business?"
"Also, your vision is limited here. You have forgotten the most important thing, that is, we could win before. What do you think now?"
Father Lou's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded with deep thought, "You're right!"
At this time, he was completely relieved. According to Yi Chuanzong, there would be no big changes in the next few years or even decades, and he could stay in peace and stability.
Having said this, Yi Chuanzong sneered and said jokingly: "Dad, actually, you think of yourself too much and you have forgotten one thing. How can anything be completely opposite?"
Father Lou couldn't help but move on the sofa, frowned and asked, "How do you interpret this?"
Yi Chuanzong took a sip of tea and said, "Let's not use the example now. In fact, the truth is easy to understand."
"The currency system is the lifeblood, and its importance is self-evident. In the past, whenever there was a change of dynasty, the merchants and merchants were the most vulnerable to change. But after the change of dynasty, the status is questionable." He said with a teasing expression: "Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants
, you listen.”
Father Lou's expression kept changing. This time he understood clearly that there was no businessman in this situation. He was completely frightening himself.
If he really planned to deal with him, he would have taken action long ago. Don't underestimate how weak the current defense force is. If he didn't care, he would have no chance to leave Sijiu City.
But this also made him very sad. He had many nicknames, was famous, and had countless wealth, but in the end he was not noticed. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
At this moment, Lou's father became a little older, as if he had lost his vitality. His half-life hard work was just a joke. This blow was heavier than what he said before.
Yi Chuanzong's heart skipped a beat, he was in trouble. If his father-in-law lay flat, how could he have a happy life in the future?
So, he quickly said: "Dad, I think you have made another misunderstanding!"
When Father Lou saw his confident expression, his heart warmed up slightly, "What's the misunderstanding?"
"Business is an extremely complicated thing. As we just said, the economy is the lifeblood. You just made a wrong choice before, so it ended. There are winners. You don't know this.
?”
Father Lou's eyes brightened even more, and Yi Chuanzong's words continued to be heard in his ears, "I've said it before, nothing is completely opposite. As a businessman, you always treat someone holding a gun as your opponent. You are like this
Aren’t you making yourself uncomfortable?”
"Yes, you have lost power now, but you still have money! You still have the means and experience to make more money. Naturally, you will be banned from messing around on your own territory because it will undermine the overall plan, but if you
You control the lifeline of the outside world. If you become bigger in the future, you won’t even be asked to go back, but your words will still have weight!"
"Your goal has always been to be a businessman, not some messy things. Now that I have brought you the funds, it is all up to you how to go in the future. And now, you will take the first step! You are here
Your expression hasn’t even started yet, and you’ve lost half the battle!”
