1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Li Weiguo took a closer look and saw several pieces of ancient porcelain. Although the glaze on the porcelain was a bit worn by time, it still exuded a warm feeling.

There are also ornaments with patina, which are patchy and obviously old.

Although Li Weiguo didn't know much about it, he felt that these things were extraordinary and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

"Well, these things are exquisite, you always have good taste!"

Wu Bo hadn't shown off enough, so he pulled Li Weiguo to sit on a chair and took out an account book from the cabinet at the head of the kang.

The paper of the account book had turned yellow and the corners were curled, showing that it had been flipped many times.

Li Weiguo has been acting mysterious over the past year or so, appearing and disappearing every time. If Wu Bo hadn't had a strong mental state, he would have been scared to death by Li Weiguo.

This time Li Weiguo came to his house with great difficulty, and he would definitely have to settle accounts with him.

Otherwise he would be worried every day, which would not be a pleasant feeling.

He put the account book on the table, pointed at the densely packed numbers, and said to Li Weiguo: "Weiguo, we made a lot of money from selling grain this year. Look, this amount alone is..."

Wu Bo's fingers moved across the numbers, his eyes gleaming with pride. Behind each number was the result of their joint efforts.

Li Weiguo listened and had a general idea in his mind. Although he usually didn't interfere in specific business matters, he trusted Wu Bo and knew that he was an honest man and would definitely not fool anyone with the accounts.

Looking at the long string of numbers in the account book, Li Weiguo also understood why Wu Bo was so excited to see him.

It has to be said that the brothers Wu Bo brought with him were very capable, and his grain really reached its maximum value when it fell into their hands.

This surprised Li Weiguo, but when he thought about what he had to do, he felt that the money alone was not enough.

He wanted more this time. After all, as long as this thing could succeed, he could lie low for another ten years, and then he could lie low openly.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo quietly reached into his bag and actually took out ten small yellow croakers from the system space.

He placed the gold bar on the table. In the dim room, it was so bright that it dazzled people's eyes.

Wu Bo's eyes suddenly widened. He had been in the black market for so long that he thought he had seen a lot of good things, but he was still quite surprised to see Li Weiguo take out so many gold bars.

He restrained his expression, frowned with a puzzled look and asked: "Weiguo, what are you doing?"

Li Weiguo's expression also became solemn, and with a bit of expectation, he slowly said: "Wu Bo, we have known each other for so many years, and we know each other well. I know you are thorough and prudent in your work. This time, I have an important matter that I want to ask for your help."

He looked straight at Wu Bo, his eyes full of trust.

Wu Bo's frown relaxed, and he puffed out his chest, patting his chest and assuring, "Just tell me what it is. Don't you know what I am capable of? As long as I can help you, I will definitely do my best!"

The tone was firm, as if it was a military order.

Li Weiguo raised the corner of his mouth in a gratified smile, raised his hand and patted Wu Bo's shoulder with a bit of intimacy.

He went on to say, "You know, this heavy rain has caused great harm to many families. Some houses have collapsed. When we walked on the street, looking at those broken walls and tiles, we felt really bad. However, this disaster also hides opportunities. Those old people and young people who were affected by the disaster must want to take advantage of this critical moment to sell their homesteads for money. I have the money, but I don't have the time to do it. So I would like to trouble you to do me a favor."

After hearing this, Wu Bo's eyes lit up, like someone who saw treasure in the dark.

How could he not understand that this was a good business opportunity? He secretly admired Li Weiguo's quick thinking and wondered why he hadn't thought of it.

He had saved some money over the years and was worried about where to invest. After hearing what Li Weiguo said, he immediately became interested and thought about joining in the effort and taking the opportunity to buy a few more houses. Maybe he could make a fortune in the future.

Thinking of this, Wu Bo didn't hesitate and responded straightforwardly: "Well, it's not a big deal. It's inappropriate for us brothers to talk about this. Besides, I have saved some money. How about I use it to buy a house?"

Wu Bo's face was full of joy, excitement and anticipation. He also wanted to hear Li Weiguo's opinion.

Li Weiguo laughed even more happily. He liked Wu Bo's straightforwardness. He didn't hide his ideas or do anything behind others' backs.

"Okay, I tell you, you can take people to look for a house near the imperial city. The closer to the imperial city, the better. That place has good feng shui and great potential for future development. However, be careful and don't get yourself into trouble because of this. It's not worth it. These days, although there are many opportunities, there are also many traps. You have to keep your eyes open."

As Li Weiguo spoke, his eyes became serious, revealing a hint of worry.

Wu Bo nodded repeatedly and responded, "Don't worry, Weiguo! I will definitely be careful. Don't you understand how I do things? It will be safe and secure." He patted his chest as he spoke, trying to reassure Li Weiguo.

Over the years, Li Weiguo and Wu Bo have worked together. Although Li Weiguo does not take care of specific matters, he always gets the biggest share of the money every time.

Firstly, he had grain, which was always hard currency; secondly, Wu Bo admired his vision and courage. Every time the business encountered difficulties, Li Weiguo could point out the key points in just a few words and revive the business.

This time when Li Weiguo took out ten gold bars, he felt more confident and thought that he would definitely gain a lot if he followed Li Weiguo's steps.

On the way here, when he saw the collapsed houses on both sides of the road, Li Weiguo had already made a plan in his mind.

He thought that instead of letting those people be exchanged with others, it would be better to keep them in his own hands.

After getting the house, he first needs to find some reliable craftsmen, use high-quality materials, and decorate the house properly without any hassles.

After the house was repaired, he just waited for the opportunity to come more than ten years later.

By that time, he could just lie down and live like a salted fish.

Li Weiguo felt happy when he thought of this, but he did not ignore the difficulties Wu Bo would encounter in the future.

The exchange of these houses must be done in a clear manner, and he did not forget that a major disaster would occur in the entire capital in a few years.

It certainly wouldn't work to put these houses under his parents' name, and he had no control over his own affairs at the base, so what should he do?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. It wouldn't work to put it under his parents' name, but he could put it under his grandparents' name!

The problem was solved and Li Weiguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wu Bo, when you find a suitable house, go find my grandparents and put the house in their name. Remember, it can't be anyone else!"

Seeing Li Weiguo so serious, Wu Bo nodded firmly: "Weiguo, don't worry! I will definitely take care of this matter!"

With Wu Bo's affirmative answer, Li Weiguo gave some more instructions and did not leave until it was completely dark.
