Rebirth: 1977

Even his own brother Xin Han couldn't believe what Xin Bo said.

This time they came, thinking that since Bourne had already taken over, they could come here and make a fortune, earning back several or even dozens of times the money they spent.

That company is suffering from a huge deficit now. If it really wants to take over the project across the sea, it still needs to invest money first. It depends on luck when it can recover the cost. It may take at least one, two or even three years.

It will take even longer to make a profit. They are all outsiders. They know that Pan Siqi is desperately negotiating with the government for this project. It is said that if this project is successful, the Siqi Club will become rich.

So they sent people to contact the government and proposed a competition. Compared with Pan Siqi, the municipal government was more inclined to give the project to "John", an overseas Chinese from Country Y.

But Xin Bai was not just talking nonsense. He left China and went to Country Y, where he started to manage the company. Although there was no big development, he was considered to be doing well among overseas Chinese.

They do not need a wealth accumulation process like other overseas Chinese.

When they leave the country, they bring with them wealth that others may not be able to earn even after working hard for decades.

Xin Bo had no business ability and he was not a good student when he was young.

Among his three brothers, the one with the best academic performance was his second brother, Naxingji, but he was clumsy and tongue-tied, and was not liked by his parents and grandparents.

When their family decided to evacuate the ancient country, their parents were ill and their grandparents were old, so it was not suitable for them to travel far, so they deliberately left him behind to take care of the four elderly people.

By that time, the family's belongings had long been gathered together, and all that could be cashed in was sold at low prices and exchanged for gold, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry.

Only the furniture and daily necessities that could not be moved or sold were left behind. Thinking of their parents' tears and repeated instructions:

“You are traveling across the ocean, going through numerous hardships and dangers, and your future is uncertain.

Although these are inanimate objects, they are all the wealth accumulated by our ancestors over several generations. A part of them has already been handed over. If we keep them, we don’t know if we can keep them, and we don’t know who will benefit from them. So you can take them all away.

After you get out, even if you can't find a way to make a living for the time being, as long as you don't spend money lavishly and don't get involved in drugs and gambling, you can ensure that our descendants will be rich and live for several lifetimes.

We stay and guard this royal mansion, which can shelter us from the wind and rain and prevent us from suffering any great hardship or trouble.

When the time comes, we just need the second son to earn some rice for us to take home, and he won’t suffer. I don’t think he would dare to let us starve to death.”

The first brother, Xin Bo, was already eighteen years old at that time, the second brother, Xin Ji, was eleven years old, and the third brother, Xin Han, was eight years old.

Xin Bo's older sister, who was 22 years old, was married, and the couple went out with their newborn child.

She also had a younger sister who was fifteen years old. When she was twenty, she married a distant relative of the Bourne family.

Thinking back on the entire journey, it was somewhat dangerous to smuggle ourselves into Hong Kong Island, and then board an ocean-going ship in Hong Kong Island. Apart from being tossed around on the sea for several months, half of the twenty-plus people suffered from seasickness and vomiting constantly, but we didn't suffer any real hardship.

After all, the routes for going out are all arranged in advance.

From the moment the brothers parted, Xin Bo knew that his second brother had been abandoned by the family.

My parents were less than 50 years old at that time and were in very poor health, which was why we were worried all day long.

The eighteen-year-old Na Xinbai was always secretly reminded by his parents that "unexpected events happen in life", and they were determined to use all their connections to send their entire family away.

She carefully reminded him: "You are the elder brother, you must take good care of me. We will leave this family to you."

Xin Bai remembered that he was angry at first and blamed his parents:

"Why did you leave my second brother behind? Are you afraid that he will suffer on the road? Do you want him to inherit this palace?

Don’t you always say that I’m the heir of that family?

Don't you love your little brother very much? Why are you willing to let him suffer with everyone else?

Did you leave a lot of valuable things to his second brother? Are you planning to make him the real heir of that family?"

"Don't talk nonsense! You are the heir of our family, so we have to send you and my younger brother away.

You don't understand. Someone has already warned us that we won't be able to keep this palace.

All the valuables in the house have been taken away by you, so how could there be anything left for him?

From now on, we will depend on him for everything from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Your mother and I have never done housework, and your grandparents will need someone to take care of them.

It is not allowed to hire a maid now, and the family does not have the money to hire one.

Also, if he is not going out, you will have one less person to divide the property among.

We left these things to you two brothers.

Your sister and her husband's family have brought enough valuables for them to use when they go out. You are just accompanying them on the journey so that everyone can be safer.

When they arrived at the place, they lived on their own and a house had already been bought for them.

Your sister will have to take care of her for a few more years, and when she is old enough, she can find a suitable man to marry and give her a small dowry."

Later, Na Xinbai gradually understood the painstaking efforts of his parents. At that time, the storm was about to come, but many people were unaware of it.

But his parents got the news in advance, but because of their sensitive identities and many eyes were watching them, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to, and it would also affect their plans for their family.

It is also true that our grandparents are old and it is hard for them to leave their hometown.

His parents should have predicted that with so many people in the family running away secretly, those who stayed behind would definitely not have a good life.

Including his parents themselves, their actions were completely a "burn the boats" decision.

The parents were really cruel to keep the second child under such circumstances.

It also shows that they really don't like this second brother.

So, when Naxingi finally found his brothers, no one welcomed him.

His parents' words reminded Xin Bai that his second brother was here to divide the family property!

When he learned that the royal mansion had been returned, he discovered that this idiot second brother had sold it for less than two cents just to come find them!

Just selling their palace without saying anything?

Xin Bo was furious about this matter, as if his dearest child had been dug out.

The palace left in his memory was still the one with carved beams and painted rafters, majestic and solemn, and magnificent!

······

When the brothers were alone in the room, Xin Han anxiously asked his eldest brother:

"Brother, can you really do what you promised Bourne?

To win the Pengcheng project, we need to invest at least several hundred million yuan. Where can we get so much money now?"

Xin Bai slapped the armrest of the sofa chair fiercely:

"Who knew that Bourne and his family were such a mess!

What a big tone, they even want us to compensate their family for their losses? How dare they say that? "

Xin Han shrank his head and couldn't help but complain:

"Brother, if we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have gotten involved in their quarrels.

We lost at least 100 million this time, and I lost several million more on Wall Street. It will take several months to wait for the income from the farm and the rent. We have already received dividends in advance from the oil shares we invested in. How can we fill this hole?

We don’t have the money for a project worth hundreds of millions of yuan in Pengcheng, so how can we negotiate with the government?”

Xin Bai's eyes turned red: "Didn't you say that Lao Er made money? Go find him!

Tell him that if he takes out 200 million now - no, 500 million to invest in this project with us, he will have a 5% stake in it.

And we agreed that he could go back to that house.”

Xin Han thought about the few months he had drifted on the sea. It was still fresh in his mind and he felt terrified whenever he thought about those days.

"Brother, that bastard is helping outsiders bully me, it will be useless for me to go find him.

Or you should contact him in person and tell him.

However, although he made money, I calculated for him that one hundred million was enough to wipe out his capital.

Didn't he reject us?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for him to ask for 500 million yuan at once? It would be better to ask for 50 million yuan first, so that he can have some capital to continue making money for us.

After we got the money, after a while we said the project needed additional investment and asked him for another 50 million.

What do you think? "

Naxingi looked at his elder brother cautiously.
