Rebirth: 1977

Ye Tianshui opened the door of the cellar and walked down the stairs one by one, turning on the lights along the way.

He hasn't come down here for several months. Fortunately, when this cellar was built, the intention was to arrange the treasures one by one according to their categories.

Who knew he could make money so fast? ! ! !

Moreover, after passing the initial stage of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", Ye Tianshui lost interest in hiding treasures.

In his previous life, he was not interested in these things. Some likes and dislikes are ingrained in his bones and cannot be changed even if he changes his life and starts over again.

Instead of looking at these dead things, he might as well pay more attention to his investments outside, the jade mines, and the gold mine that he discovered accidentally.

Yes, when we were cooperating with brothers Fu Jinyan and Tong Dawei to develop two mines, gold was discovered in an inconspicuous mine nearby.

Because the gold mountain was relatively short, we passed by it when we were exploring it, but we had no interest in exploring it.

As a result, when the exploration team was preparing to finish their work and return home, an old member of the team took a second look.

After discovering that the soil color of the mountain was different, Sang Nianzhong asked Yin Tianshui for permission and then hired them to continue the exploration.

Ye Tianshui had heard that there were not only jade and jadeite mines in northern Myanmar, but also mines of other rich contents.

At that time, Ye Tianshui felt that it was worth spending tens of thousands of dollars to solve a puzzle. Anyway, they were mining in the three surrounding mountains. As long as there was something in this mountain, he could make some money.

Who knew that the surprise would come so suddenly.

With Ye Tianshui raising the price, the exploration team followed several gold veins deep into the mountain and found that the gold veins were hidden very deep, so they were ignored by most people.

For this gold mine, Ye Tianshui, Fu Jinyan and Tong Dawei explained his attitude:

“Brother Jinyan, Brother Tong, there is no end to making money, and I want to contribute this gold mine to the country at the right time.

In other words, do you agree to contribute to the military's expenses?"

No one opposed Ye Tianshui's proposal. He signed a confidentiality agreement with the exploration team and gave them an additional 100,000 yuan.

The open mine was sealed.

The air in the cellar is well-circulated and the waterproofing was done carefully, so there is no damp or musty smell inside.

This is thanks to Ye Tianshui's experience as a construction worker in his previous life, and then as a real estate developer for many years.

Using advanced technologies from later generations in this era is still quite useful.

Unfortunately, much of the material is not available yet.

Ye Tianshui looked at the rows of cabinets that had been made. The materials and workmanship were all good, but now, they were still empty and placed against the wall.

He walked up to a pile of boxes and determined based on their weight that they must contain ancient calligraphy and paintings.

Ye Tianshui believes in the Ding family's vision. Anything they treasure must be valuable.

Don't worry about it being a fake.

Ye Tianshui chose a box that was 1.2 meters wide, 80 centimeters wide, and 50 centimeters high and moved it to the empty table next to him.

The box seemed to be made of sandalwood, quite heavy, and the wax seal on the outside was in good condition with no signs of having been opened.

Ye Tianshui picked up a sharp knife without hesitation and started peeling it off from the visible gap.

After about ten minutes, Ye Tianshui looked at a lock, which had no trace of rust on it.

He took out a thin lead wire and poked it into the keyhole, fiddling with it for a while. With a light "click" sound, the lid of the box opened, and a faint fragrance wafted out of the box and slowly spread in the air.

Ye Tianshui had long studied the methods of preserving ancient calligraphy and paintings. The smell should be used to prevent insects and moisture. Maybe something similar to spices was put in the box, right?

It smells good, but Ye Tianshui can't tell what it is.

He looked at the things wrapped tightly in tung oil paper and opened them layer by layer calmly, trying his best not to damage the original packaging.

Inside, there are scrolls of different sizes and lengths, neatly arranged.

Ye Tianshui hesitated for a while, but still opened it carefully and took a look. He was shocked. The Ding family was indeed a famous and prestigious family passed down from generation to generation.

He roughly counted the paintings he had seen, and there were more than twenty of them.

I can't help but sigh that if all the calligraphy and paintings in this box were put up for auction, it would definitely fetch tens of billions of marks.

All of these add up to a huge fortune!

Thinking about how Mr. Ye was joking with him, saying that he was "rich enough to rival a country", it now seems that he really deserves such a title.

No wonder Ding Dafu refused to give up. Anyone would be reluctant to do this.

These are actually things that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Ding family.

The huge convoy from his previous life flashed through Ye Tianshui’s mind again. After transporting all those things away, there was no news of them anymore.

It turns out that those dazzling gold, silver and jewelry are all valuable items. The truly priceless ones are not seen by anyone, and no one knows who got them for free.

It is said that 'people die for money and birds die for food'. Ding Bancheng worked hard for most of his life, but in the end, he did not dare to use these things to buy lives for himself and his wife.

Because he knew it was useless.

Because he has donated countless wealth.

Grandma Ding would rather not have any contact with her children and grandchildren until she dies, and never reveal her wealth. Maybe she hopes that her children and grandchildren can live a peaceful life in the future?

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

'Money', in special times, represents 'it' as the source of evil.

Ye Tianshui pondered for a while, closed the lid of the box, locked it, and had no intention of touching the other boxes. He simply carried this box steadily and walked out of the cellar.

Chen Jun reached out and took it from outside, and asked in a deep voice:

"Director, what should we do with this box?"

"Put it in the trunk of the car and bring it to the manor for the old man later."

Ye Tianshui locked the cellar door and looked around. Since he gave a group of his regular subordinates to Su Jianxin, another group of people who did not have the conditions to join the regular system were transferred to the mine.

There are fewer and fewer men in the backyard, and only women come and go. They are no longer as noisy as when they first came, and have learned to do their own things quietly.

Ye Tianshui's heart moved. Those who followed him, whether they had a regular job or not, married or not, it was time to give them a home.

'Lanyuan' is, after all, just his home, and cannot allow more people to live here for a long time.

It was still early to go to the manor for dinner, so Ye Tianshui went to his study and wrote an application to purchase land and build a family dormitory.

Ye Tianshui has been waiting for an opportunity. A few years ago, he couldn't even buy land in the countryside.

Although Shenzhen and Guangzhou have long followed the trend of "reform and opening up" and set a precedent for the sale of state-owned land, other places are still like a solid block of iron that cannot be moved.

Now that national policies have been introduced one after another, he can implement the plan.

The place Ye Tianshui chose was a seemingly desolate hill in the southeast of Beijing. The hill was not high, but it stretched for several kilometers and was surrounded by several rivers.

There are not many villages with a large population here, and it will be the third ring center of the future capital.

But now, the second ring road of Beijing has just been developed and has not yet extended to here, and the price of land is not high.

Ye Tianshui wanted to buy it in his own name. He searched in his mind the layout of the capital's subway, elevated roads and other major transportation arteries in his previous life, and tried to avoid those places as much as possible.

Although demolition is also a huge reward, if the house is demolished at that time and you want to move to other land to build a house, the choice of area will be much worse.

What he wants is to secure a place within the three rings.

The value of that land cannot be replicated.

Yin Tianshui hesitated for a long time regarding the area figure to be applied for.

This area will be an important window for Beijing to the outside world in the future.

The diversification of industries, including finance, business services, high technology and cultural creativity, is the general direction of development for this region.

The land area applied for is too small, so it cannot form a strong advantage.

But there are too many applications and I’m afraid they won’t be approved.

For the time being, he did not want to rely on Ye Jianfeng to resolve this matter. If he used his power to obtain the land, he would inevitably be criticized in the future.

Ye Tianshui didn't want Ye Jianfeng's clean official career to be tarnished by him.

He has so much money just to use, and he wants to rely on his "cash power" to achieve his goals.

Ye Tianshui carefully copied the application form, but left a blank at the part about the land area to be purchased.

He wanted to see the attitude of the local government before deciding how many acres to buy.

Seeing that it was almost time, he stood up and prepared to leave, when the phone on his desk started ringing frantically.

‘Dingle bell, jingle bell…’
