The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 232 Gu Li, the princess you raised is really acting like a princess!

Most of the things in Gu Li’s father’s inheritance are virtual, and the truly valuable things are the 20% hidden inheritance.

On the surface, it is just a piece of woodland on the outskirts of Magic City, a broken horse farm with only one horse, and an abandoned factory. But in fact, Gu Yansheng left clues at the factory and the horse farm. Following the clues, you can find gold sand worth 600 million yuan in a broken wooden house in the woods.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, um... Jian Xi also thought it was incredible when he watched the drama, but it is actually true. There is a gold mine on the outskirts of Magic City.

After coming to this world, the idea of ​​seizing this gold mine just flashed through his mind. After all, not to mention how this stuff could be transported out without anyone noticing, even washing this gold into usable money would be a very troublesome task.

So Jian Xi thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to be a gentleman who knows how to make money.

But unfortunately, Gu Li rejected his kindness, so it seems that the hidden inheritance will have to remain buried in the ground and wait to see the light of day again in the future.

……

Jian Xi quickly put the matter with Gu Li behind him. After all, no matter what, the other party still had a net worth of hundreds of millions, and there was no need for him, an "ordinary person" whose assets were not even a fraction of his, to worry about it.

Now, he has to find a suitable direction and try his best in the last few months of 2014 to enter the small goal club as soon as possible.

Although the stock market is good, you cannot just make money from it. No matter how happy retail investors are, they are still just retail investors.

It was only after he founded Red Leaf Capital that he truly transformed from a chess piece into a chess player. Unfortunately, in this day and age, the previous path is no longer feasible.

As for what to do in today's world, he had some idea, but he still needed to wait and wait for the opportunity and the funds to return.

It is worth mentioning that when he was investing in the entertainment sector, he found that many people in different eras were having the same dream of rebirth in the past.

For example, back in the late 90s, many people would want to follow Tencent’s lead and enter the instant messaging sector, as if they could do the same when the dream of the Penguin Empire came to them; if we go back to the early 21st century, everyone would want to compete in online shopping like Fubao Factory; if we go back to around 10, many people would want to enter the mobile phone industry, and both the overseas Apple Factory and the mainland Monkey Factory seemed to be a path that could be copied; if we go back to 14 and 15, people who wanted to do something big would invest their dreams in Universe Factory...

All I can say is that the dream of rebirth must also keep pace with the times!

Unfortunately, these beautiful dreams are not always easy to realize.

Although the heroic historical view only stays on the surface of historical phenomena compared to the people's historical view, sometimes the deeds of specific heroes are not so easy to be replicated by others.

Just like the beautiful dreams mentioned just now, Jian Xi is very self-aware. Even if he turns on the future perspective, he will not be able to achieve the careers of those people.

This is also the reason why he still chose his old profession when he became Huang Zhenhua. He could go with the flow and ride on the express train of those people, but if he really had to be the driver himself, he would definitely fail.

Whether it is instant messaging, mobile phones, shopping platforms or short video industries, even if the reborn can seize the initiative, his greatest role may be to be qualified to make wedding dresses for others.

Because these industries are just like the major battles that took place on the Internet. Only those who reach the top of the industry can survive.

The rest either disappeared without even making a wave in the war, or were not even qualified to get a ticket to the war, and their endings were the same.

Moreover, these are not just battles involving tens or hundreds of billions of dollars in funds, but are also mixed with more or less political games.

Just those licenses alone can shatter the dreams of countless people and keep more participants out. There are also ICP licenses, Internet culture business licenses, EDI licenses, radio and television licenses... many certificates that are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain are just tickets to fulfill these dreams.

So even if you open up your vision for the future, it is not really that easy to realize your dreams.

The big guys in history only needed to fight hard, but the reborn ones have to consider many things...

For example, Jian Xi is considering a lot now. What are some projects that are low-cost, high-return, quick to make money, and can bring happiness?
……

Monday, October 10.

"Little assistant, you haven't urged me to submit my manuscript for more than two months. What's wrong? Have you forgotten about me, the columnist?"

Lin Xiao, who had just started work, suddenly received a call from Zhou Chongguang, which startled her. She subconsciously asked, "Zhou Chongguang, aren't you in the hospital for treatment? Are you still writing a manuscript?"

"Yeah, I've been in the hospital for so long recently, I feel like I'm full of inspiration!"

"..."

During this period, Lin Xiao was so busy being affectionate with her boyfriend Jian Xi that she almost forgot that Zhou Chongguang was dying of stomach cancer.

Now when I heard that he wanted to hand in the manuscript, I was suddenly speechless. When I urged him to submit the manuscript before, this guy refused to write it no matter what. Now he is really dying and wants him to hand it in again.

But Lin Xiao still asked with concern: "What about your illness?"

"My condition has stabilized a lot recently, and the doctor said I can apply for outpatient treatment."

"Really? That's great!"

It's a good thing not to die, and Lin Xiao is also happy that this friend is alive and well.

However, Zhou Chongguang on the phone sighed and said, "What's good about that? I'm almost bored to death. All my inspirations came from staying in bed."

Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "When will you write the manuscript?"

"I'm still in the hospital, and you're already rushing me?"

"Uh, so why are you being discharged from the hospital?"

"It's just these two days. Can you come pick me up then?"

"Okay!" Lin Xiao agreed without thinking, but as soon as she said it, she remembered that she had told Jian Xi that she would keep her distance from Zhou Chongguang.

"It's just to pick up a friend from the hospital, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Lin Xiao thought hesitantly in his heart that he and Zhou Chongguang were indeed ordinary friends, and he felt there was no need to deliberately distance themselves from each other.

"Jian Xi is not that petty. It was just a misunderstanding before."

……

A red Ferrari stopped outside an old alley in Shanghai.

Gu Li got out of the car, frowned, looked around for a while, and then walked into the alley in high heels. The cement road inside was only wide enough for one car, and on one side was a high wall covered with moss. In addition to weeds at the base of the wall, there was a flower she didn't recognize drooping every three or five steps.

In the past, people living in the alleys would pour the water they used to wash their faces into the corners every day. Even earlier, the corners would be used to collect the contents of old men and women’s chamber pots. Thinking of this, Gu Li’s brows furrowed even more tightly, and his pace became faster.

However, because there are many households living on the other side of the cement road in the alley, looking at the rows of doors and windows, it feels like a maze.

But Gu Li had no choice but to frown and look at each house one by one, because Nan Xiang's home was right here.

The four best friends have known each other for so many years, so naturally they know each other's addresses very well, except for Nan Xiang's home.

Because of debt, Nan Xiang and her mother moved from time to time, and this alley was where her family moved more than a year ago. Gu Li had never been here, but had heard about it before. When they were in school, they saw each other almost every day, so there was no chance to come here.

But now, she hasn't seen Nan Xiang for more than two months.

All along, the person Gu Li is closer to is Lin Xiao, but that doesn’t mean her relationship with her other two besties isn’t any less deep. What she said about supporting them was not just a joke.

She is indeed the most unrestrained among the sisters, but her unrestrainedness requires the support of the other three sisters. There is a strange little game among the four of them, which is that Lin Xiao, Nan Xiang, and Tang Wanru will hold a non-existent crown and place it on Gu Li's head.

Sometimes, Gu Li feels that she is the one who needs love, and she cannot let go of her relationship with Nan Xiang.

If she was close to Lin Xiao, then she would always admire and pity Nan Xiang. This best friend was indeed talented and often won awards in fashion design competitions, and Nan Xiang was only taking fashion design as an elective course. It was a pity that her past experiences always made her feel distressed.

Gu Li always felt that if Nan Xiang had not met Xi Cheng, she would be like the lotus in Zhou Dunyi's "On the Love of Lotus", which grows out of the mud without being stained. Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

This is also the reason why she has always hated Xi Cheng going to find Nan Xiang, including the fact that Nan Xiang always refuses to repent. She offers chicken wings, abalone, Dior and Chanel to him, but Nan Xiang is coaxed away by Xi Cheng with a hand-pulled pancake.

After having a few good days, I already think about eating the meal that reminds me of my past!
Thinking of this, Gu Li remembered what Jian Xi had said before, and felt that she really couldn't be too nice to Nan Xiang in the future. This would not only avoid stimulating Nan Xiang's self-esteem, but also make her less angry.

But no matter how angry she was, the fact that Nan Xiang disappeared had been weighing on her mind ever since that chaotic birthday party.

After waiting for so long without any response, Gu Li finally decided to go to Nan Xiang's house to find her today.

After searching in the alley for a long time, Gu Li finally found Nan Xiang's home.

A lot of the blue paint on the outside of the iron gate had fallen off, and the rust particles that had formed into lumps of powder were exposed. Gu Li exerted a little force, and the iron gate was pushed open with a "creaking" sound.

The door was not closed. After hesitating for a moment, Gu Li walked into the house, which was still dark despite being daytime.

For Gu Li, dim light and turbid air were always what she hated, but unfortunately, two of them existed here.

But fortunately, this place doesn't seem to be sloppy, and it is the only place that didn't hit the rich woman's sore spot.

Gu Li groped along the wall for a long time in the faint light, and finally touched a string with some unknown gadget tied at the end. She pinched the string and pulled it, and the light bulb above the center of the room lit up.

It is hard to imagine that in 2014 there are still places like this in Shanghai that still use pull-cord light bulbs from more than a decade ago. It seems like two completely different worlds from the outside world of Shanghai, where high-rise buildings and bright lights can be seen everywhere.

What’s even more unbelievable is that Nan Xiang’s home is in such a place. Gu Li even admires how the other party found it.

After the room became brighter, Gu Li finally understood why it was not so shabby - because it was difficult to find anything that could be called furniture.

But there are still some hardware items such as unknown models of televisions and electric fans from who knows how many years ago. There is also a tea bowl with an open lid on the small table in the corner, but there is no tea in it.

What suddenly came to Gu Lixin's mind at this moment was the bed that was not illuminated by the light bulb.

The bed was mostly blocked by a wardrobe that was also covered in dust. Gu Li subconsciously slowed down his breathing and approached the bed cautiously.

When she saw a person lying in the shadow above, she was startled at first, and then delighted.

"Nan Xiang? Nan Xiang?"

After calling out twice, seeing that the person on the bed didn't move, Gu Lixin became nervous again and couldn't help but raise her voice directly: "Nan Xiang!"

The person on the bed still didn't move, and Gu Li suddenly felt her heart sink again, as if she was stuck in a quagmire, pulling at her trachea bit by bit, making it impossible for her to breathe.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Gu Li, who had been mentally prepared, finally took the step and walked over. When she reached the bed, before she could see who the person with his head covered was, a foul smell came over.

"what!"

Gu Li screamed and backed away until her heel hit the small stool and she sat on the ground, then she began to retch.

For a young lady who lives a life of luxury, she couldn't even stand the smell of durian. The bathroom was always sprayed with expensive fragrances. She subconsciously thought of the stench just now as the smell of a corpse.

After a while, after Gu Li finished vomiting, he felt a great sadness in his heart again.

She didn't expect that they would be separated forever after their birthday party. In addition to recalling the past with Nan Xiang, she was also thinking about how to tell this to her other two good girlfriends. When she thought of this, she felt sad and scared.

Queen Gu suddenly began to drop her pearls, calling out sadly, "Nanxiang, Nanxiang..."

"Who?"

At this moment, "Nan Xiang's corpse" suddenly spoke.

"Nan...uh..." Gu Li looked like Donald Duck with his throat strangled at this moment. He stared dumbfoundedly at the "corpse" in the shadow of the bed and slowly sat up.

A strange sense of ridiculousness appeared on Gu Li, and then this woman who always regarded herself as a queen stood up in anger and walked to the bed, ready to curse, but when she saw that the other person was Nan Xiang's mother, she swallowed the curse back.

"Are you looking for Nan Xiang?" Nan Xiang's mother didn't know if she had just woken up. Her voice was weak and her face was very pale, as if she didn't have a trace of blood. She continued, "She's not here."

"Has she ever come back?"

"No."

After getting the answer, Gu Li turned and left. However, when she was about to reach the door, she stopped and paused, took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from her wallet and placed it on the cabinet next to her.

"There's some money left here, you'd better make up for it."

"Thanks……"

Before her mother could finish her words, Gu Li had already walked out the door.

Only after she saw the light of day again did she breathe a sigh of relief. For a moment, even the smell of the small path in the alley seemed fragrant to her.

At least there's the smell of grass.

The sound of high heels stepping on the concrete road rang out again. After relaxing for a moment, Gu Li looked at the exit of the alley and frowned again.

Nan Xiang is not at home, so where did she go?

……

At this moment, on the other side of the Huangpu River, in a KTV in Pudong.

Jian Xi, who was preparing for his career, looked at the new group of girls with a strange expression on his face. No, to be exact, he looked strange because of one of the girls in this group.

"Gu Li, the princess you raised is really acting like a princess now."
