Chapter 496 I have a friend(1/4)
By now, both of them know each other's bottom line, and it will be much easier to talk about it in the future.
Father Lou knew Li Xuewu's attitude towards his daughter, and also knew Li Xuewu's attitude towards himself, so he also showed sincerity.
On Li Xuewu's side, he also understood his worries and painstaking efforts from Father Lou's words, which gave him an attitude.
The two of them officially entered the conversation after drinking this sip of tea.
"Xiao'e is taking care of your accounts?"
"yes"
Li Xuewu frankly admitted that he had used his daughter for nothing, and explained shamelessly: "She said she wanted to exercise her ability to manage finances."
"Then I have to thank you for giving her this opportunity? Haha"
Father Lou smiled and nodded. His daughter has been given to others, so why should he mention yours and mine?
"Very good. I also wanted to ask her to study more, but she didn't like this before."
As he spoke, he sighed slightly and said: "I used to think about training the boss to take over my job, haha, I never thought that my daughter would still be by my side to take care of me when I grow old."
"Times have changed, and no one can predict it accurately."
Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "You are idle at home now. Maybe one day the situation will change and you will be able to make a comeback."
"Haha, I may never see you again in this life."
Father Lou said helplessly: "I only wish you well and a good future."
"Don't you want to see your son?"
Li Xuewu squinted his eyes and smiled, asking like a little fox: "Maybe you have grandchildren."
"Hahaha!"
Lou's father also squinted his eyes and laughed, saying: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I will cash out half of my family property and give it to him to take away. If you live up to your expectations, you will live up to your expectations. If you fail to live up to your expectations, you will not live up to your expectations. You can't blame me."
As he spoke, he scratched the white hair beside his ear and said: "As for my grandson, there is no old man who doesn't miss me, but current events don't allow it."
"Yeah, I understand."
Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Wait a minute, just relax, exercise well, and live a good life. Maybe in a year or two, when the policy is relaxed, they will come back."
"Let's sit here and don't fool anyone."
Father Lou clicked on the table and said: "The lease term of Hong Kong City is still thirty-one years. It doesn't say what will happen after it expires. Even if the policy changes after it expires, can I still live to be ninety years old?
"
"Everyone hopes to live a long life, haha"
Li Xuewu smiled and said: "How do you...".
"It's important for people to know themselves"
Father Lou smiled and said: "I have never done anything good in my life. How can I live a long life?"
"It is you who hope to witness this glorious moment."
"Will do"
Li Xuewu nodded, took the tea cup and started drinking tea.
He's not going to Hong Kong City anyway, so why should he be in a hurry? You can't just go ahead and give him some advice.
Father Lou crossed his fingers, sat behind the desk, looked at Li Xuewu, and then asked: "How much do you know about Hong Kong City?"
"not much"
Li Xuewu explained: "I used to be a soldier in Yangcheng, but I didn't go out much. Within a few months, I went directly to the south."
"We have gone abroad, haha, but people don't welcome us very much, and we haven't seen much of the world."
"Because you went there with a gun."
Father Lou leaned back and said, "If you come with money, there will be a line of welcome people."
"No no no"
Li Xuewu shook his finger and said to Lou's father: "Just take the money and they will just welcome you and then kill you."
As he spoke, he ignored Lou’s father’s change of expression and continued: “You are not so optimistic that there is heaven outside, are you?”
"Of course not"
Father Lou frowned slightly and said: "A large part of our suffering in the past few decades is due to them. We have ambitions but no good intentions."
"So, the money over there is easy to spend but not easy to earn."
Li Xuewu raised his eyes with a smile and poured a basin of cold water on his head.
Father Lou frowned and looked at Li Xuewu and said: "I take the money and do my business properly. I just want to be harmonious and make money. I can't even become a rich man?"
"Haha, it depends on how kind you are and how rich you want to be."
Li Xuewu picked up the writing brush on the table, dipped it in ink to thin the brush, pulled out a piece of white paper on the desk and drew a circle, which was probably a map of the port city.
"It's such a big place, but it has a population of several million. I don't need to tell you about the largest chaebol, but do you know how many billionaires there are in this land?"
Father Lou frowned even more. He looked at the brush in Li Xuewu's hand and kept pointing at the surrounding locations to explain the general layout of the port and industry.
He has been trapped in the mainland, no, in Sijiu City, for twenty years. The port city is no longer the port city it was twenty years ago, and the world is no longer the world it was twenty years ago.
Now he has been far away from Jianghu for a long time, and Jianghu has long lost his place of standing.
Although there were letters exchanged from time to time, and current affairs newspapers and periodicals flowed into my hands, my understanding was too one-sided.
Maybe what he saw was what others wanted him to see.
"Shipping, real estate, electronics, light industry, finance, trade... If you had gone twenty years ago, you would still have had a chance, but now the industrial cake has been divided."
After introducing the changes in world development in this era to Lou's father one by one, Li Xuewu asked the most saddening question to Lou's father when he looked at his dumbfounded father: "Do you think that if you go there with money, even if the money and people are saved?"
Now, what can I do?"
Li Xuewu's question is difficult for Lou's father to answer. He is an entrepreneur who started his career in industry, and he is a model of saving the country through industry.
But time will not remember how many people it has paid, it will only use its wheels to crush the poor people who cannot keep up with its footsteps.
Li Xuewu knew that what he said was cruel, but he didn't want this old man to go to Hong Kong City and fuck others for fun.
If he likes it, Li Xuewu can fool him in Sijiucheng. Anyway, he will lose both his life and money, so why go all the way.
You can be deceived however you want, he has plenty of tricks to convince you.
"Where did you hear all this?"
Father Lou looked at Li Xuewu and said just now that he didn't know much about it, so he had to give him a lesson.
This guy is dishonest!
"You don't believe it?"
Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lou's father.
"certainly"
Father Lou shook his head slightly and said: "I am deaf and blind now, and those friends know very little about Hong Kong City, so it is rare that I can hear such detailed information from you."
This old man is not very real!
Li Xuewu looked at Lou's father and couldn't help but mutter in his heart. He didn't see how surprised he was when he told him about these situations.
It can be seen that he is not a deaf and blind man squatting in Sijiu City as he said.
"Haha, my friend has some abilities."
Li Xuewu "had a friend" who could explain everything, and he didn't care at all that the old man opposite him was trying to create a fascination formation with him.
"So, you still want to go to Hong Kong City?"
"You disapprove?"
Father Lou looked at Li Xuewu formally, obviously wanting to get Li Xuewu's advice.
"After all these years, it's still convenient to visit relatives, right?"
Li Xuewu did not answer his question first, but instead asked a more personal question.
That's why the Lou family's sons haven't come back to visit their relatives over the years.
Luohu Bridge is not sealed, letters can be sent, and visits to relatives are allowed. Even if it is not easy at the beginning of this year, it will not be easy in previous years.
Father Lou's complexion suddenly turned bad, but he did not get angry at Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu didn't speak anymore, just drank tea quietly and waited for the other party's answer.
"Alas~~~"
Thousands of words turned into a long sigh, and many tears of longing were frozen by the cold heart.
"Then tell me your plan?"
Li Xuewu did not treat the old man harshly and asked another question with a smile.
Father Lou nodded understandingly and said: "I want to shake off all the family property here, sell what can be sold, and throw away what cannot be sold."
"run?"
Hearing Li Xuewu use the word "run", Lou's father frowned again.
Although this word sounds ugly, it is realistic.
"If you can't help yourself"
Father Lou gave a helpless reply.
"I understand how you feel"
Li Xuewu nodded, and then said: "But I also believe that Sister Lou told you my opinions and views."
