As he spoke, Gu Haoyuan slowly opened the scroll in his hand.

This Chinese painting is very simple and ancient, with only a dead tree and a strange rock in the whole picture.

The dead trees are shaped like deer antlers, the strange rocks are shaped like snails, and behind the rocks there are dotted short bamboos.

The more Lin Huayin looked at it, the more familiar it seemed to her. Then she thought about the name of the painting: "Dead Trees and Strange Rocks".

"Oh my god, isn't this a painting by Su Shi?"

Ten years of life and death were separated by a sea of ​​uncertainty. Who had not been poisoned by his famous poems and verses when in school? No, was he not influenced by them?

Gu Haoyuan nodded.

"Yes, this is the second painting of Su Shi that has survived. The other one is collected in the National Gallery. The reason why I chose to give this painting is because of Su Shi's deep affection for his wife."

[Ha! Ten years of life and death, I can't forget you without thinking about you. Right? Haha, if you give this gift to Li Hongyun, you're completely screwed - that's really flattering the wrong person, totally wrong!

I remembered that this gift-giving scene was also an important turning point in the plot. This was the first face-to-face confrontation between the male protagonist and Gu Haoyuan after his initial rise.

In order to win the venture capital from Gangcheng, the two men gave gifts to a Gangcheng tycoon named Li Hongyun at the same banquet.

However, the information obtained by Gu Haoyuan's investigation said that Li Hongyun and his deceased wife had a very good relationship, and after her death, he built a mansion for her as a token of his remembrance of his lover!

In fact, it's all fake! It's all an image deliberately created by Li Hongyun.

The reason why he became one of the top ten richest men in Hong Kong was that 80% of his wealth came from the inheritance left by his late wife.

Li Hongyun was originally a Phoenix man who had smuggled in from the mainland.

After he fled to Hong Kong on the black ship, he was penniless and first worked in a shoe factory. Later, he jumped to a watch factory as a salesman.

Because of his eloquence and good speaking skills, he achieved good sales results and was promoted to Deputy Director of Sales a year later. By chance, he met Zhu Mingyue, the only daughter of the director of a watch factory.

Li Hongyun relied on his handsome appearance, fair complexion and eloquent tongue to successfully hook up with this rich lady and secretly started a relationship with her.

After two years of hard work, he finally succeeded in marrying into the Zhu family and took his beloved daughter into his arms.

After that, Li Hongyun gradually rose through the ranks in the watch factory, and ten years later he was promoted to deputy director. He became the director after his father-in-law died.

For the next thirty years, it controlled the watch production and sales in the entire port city.

When his wife was 56 years old, on the night of their wedding anniversary, she saw with her own eyes that her husband broke his vows to her and brought a woman home. In a fit of rage, she leaned on the terrace and took pills to commit suicide, and finally fell from the building.

It is said that the death was very tragic!

After his wife's death, Li Hongyun successfully wiped out the entire Zhu family and turned all of the Zhu family's property into hers. However, he felt very guilty about this, especially since he was the direct cause of his wife's death, and what's more, she died so tragically, falling right in front of him and dying with her eyes open!

The thought of this made him feel uneasy and scared.

So Lin Huayin specially spent a large sum of money to hire a Feng Shui master to build a mansion for his wife.

This mansion is magnificent and is said to be a manifestation of Li Hongyun's deep affection for his deceased wife.

But in fact, the main building of this mansion is square in shape, with rounded corners. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a coffin!

The purpose of building this building was to trap the soul of his wife who died tragically, so that she would never be able to be reborn!

If you give a painting by Su Shi to such a person, isn't it implying that the so-called deep love between husband and wife is fake, which is like slapping him in the face?

The landmine you stepped on is going to explode on the spot. How can she invest in you? He is not crazy.

Qi Linbai was born an illegitimate child, and was particularly insightful into the hearts of such people. He had long seen through the true nature of this Phoenix man, so he simply gave him a portrait of the God of Wealth.

It neither touched Li Hongyun's sore spot of deep love for his deceased wife, nor satisfied the money-loving nature of this Phoenix man.

So Li Hongyun was very satisfied with this gift and directly invested the venture capital to Qi Linbai's company.

On the contrary, the painting given by Gu Haoyuan always irritated him every time he looked at it. He hated it so much that he refused to cooperate with the Gu family again.

As a result, the national treasure-level painting that Gu Haoyuan spent a huge amount of money to buy not only failed to play a role, but instead hindered the family greatly. The Gu family lost an important opportunity inexplicably.

This is a high-level business war in the book. The hero easily wins this war without the smoke of gunpowder with his wisdom and luck.

But the poor cannon fodder Gu Haoyuan had no idea why.

Li Hongyun obviously seemed to like this painting very much, but in the end he did not choose to cooperate with Gu, but chose Qi Linbai who had no strength at all! 】
