Chapter 103 Wealth is Void
After a while, Qin Di said, "The steel mill I plan to build will be of relatively large scale. Mr. Gu, if possible, I would like to meet with the provincial chairman Liu Wenhui. Can you please recommend it?"
Gu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Chairman Liu inspected the defense of Sichuan, and I don't know where he went. Maybe he would have to wait two or three months before he came to inspect the place. Mr. Qin, how long can you stay here?"
"In this case, I will write a letter to Chairman Liu. Please pass it on then, is it OK?"
"It's easy, it's easy."
Afterwards, everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
One of the leaders always lowered his head and did not dare to look at Yan Xue more.
Gu Han looked at his niece Gu Ruomei and sighed: "If you want to say that our Gu family is your father, he is all his mind on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he is unwilling to do practical things related to economic and people's livelihood. You, like your father, are obsessed with learning piano and spending so much energy, what's the use of?"
Gu Ruomei smiled and said, "Uncle II, I am a girl. These things are useless to tell me. I still have my brother at home."
Gu Han said: "Hmph, your brother is even more crazy about Qin, he is almost a fool!"
Qin Di smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, if current affairs have not changed, the one who left his name in history a hundred years may not be the boss of the Gu family or Mr. Gu, but Amei's father. Practical and practical, each with its own strengths. No matter how powerful the power is, it can be gone, and no matter how much property the family property may fall apart."
Gu Han couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He obviously didn't like this statement and said lightly: "Who knows what will happen in a hundred years? The Gu family will continue for many years and will not decline so easily."
"This is a major change that has not been seen in a thousand years. All families are becoming obliterated and the gradual rise of ordinary people has nothing to do with whether the Gu family is working hard."
Gu Han asked back: "What about the Qin family? Can you hold on?"
Qin Di smiled and said, "It's true for the Qin family. After a few years, there may be only a little reputation left. After all, my mother discovered several antibiotics and won the prizes from foreigners. As for myself, she was already nameless and would not be much better in the future."
Gu Han fell into silence, eating vegetables while thinking. After a while, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and smiled: "I understand what you mean. It turns out that you don't like the Qingbai Party!"
Qin Di waved his hand and said, "I am an idle person. I only talk about civil affairs, not about national affairs."
After the banquet, Qin Di wrote a letter and asked Gu Han to pass it over to Liu Wenhui.
The letter said that the Qin family wanted to open a factory in Sichuan and run a large enterprise, and asked Chairman Liu to take care of it. In addition to paying taxes as usual, the Qin family was willing to donate 200,000 oceans every year.
For Qin Di, 200,000 oceans are less than 100,000 US dollars, which is really a drizzle. As long as you bribe Liu Wenhui, you can greatly reduce the resistance.
He had a total of 70 million US dollars in Citibank and Mogen Chase Bank. Even at 3% of the treasury bond interest rate in 1930, he earned 2.1 million US dollars a year.
In addition to these two banks, the Qin family also deposited 8 million US dollars in Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC and Swiss United Bank each, and deposited 5 million US dollars in Bank of China. They can’t spend all their cash alone, not to mention that Cathay Pharmaceutical has significant profits every month, with patent authorizations abroad continuously, and the promotion of streptomycin is also a profitable transaction...
Logically speaking, in addition to Liu Wenhui, there were also Liu Xiang, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou and others. However, Liu Xiang died early and died of illness not long after the War of Resistance in 1938. Yang Sen's power was mainly in Chongqing in eastern Sichuan. Deng Xihou fought against the Da Chi Army in southern Sichuan. Liu Wenhui was still the leader in western Sichuan.
Qin Di visited the Ferry City for three days, and then took a boat with everyone, down the river and returned to the Demon City.
When he passed by Changsha, he met Gu Rumei's father Gu Jun and his brother Gu Rugeng.
Gu Jun is in his early forties, has a pretty face, wears a long gown, and has gold-rimmed glasses. He is obviously a scholar.
Gu Rugen is two years older than Gu Rumei, young and in his prime, teaching at the Normal College.
Both of them are good at piano players, so Qin Di must play a song.
Qin Di played "Song of the Mountain Residence" for them, and everyone was fascinated by it. It took a long time to wake up.
Gu Jun was amazed: "Mr. Qin, I listened to your songs and felt like I was having a dream, as if I was in the middle of the forest, with mountains as screens, clear streams as belts, heaven and earth as huts, grass and trees as clothes, pillows as flowing stones, wandering among them, the moon in the mountains, the wind in the river, the birds singing and flowers falling, and I felt a great enlightenment!"
Gu Rugeng said: "Sir, I was confused just now and I couldn't write down the music score. It's a pity."
Qin Di said to Gu Rumei: "Get paper and pen!"
Gu Rumei quickly ran over to get paper and pen.
Qin Di composed the music and handed it to Gu Rugeng: "With your strength, you can't play this song for the time being. Maybe it will take 30 years before you can play it barely."
Gu Rugeng didn't believe it, so he tried to play it twice, only a short section at a time.
He racked his brains to figure it out: "How could this happen?"
The third time, he tweeted hard, and the strings broke with a "bang"!
Gu Rugeng was stunned for a while and said to Qin Di: "Sir, you are right, I really can't play it out. But I don't know if I can take you as my teacher like Amei?"
Qin Di shook his head and said, "To be honest, you have good character and character, but you lack the qualifications to practice. Amei is not as hard-working as you, but her qualifications are better than you."
Gu Jun was puzzled and asked tentatively: "What kind of qualifications are there? In my eyes, the brother and sister are no different."
Qin Di smiled and said, "It's hard to describe it. You will know the difference between the two next year."
Of course, he did not accept Gu Rumei as his disciple, because she not only had earthen roots, but also had a semi-formed "Qinxin". Qinxin is very strange, and only the Guqin family can appear. Just like the precious jade in Dream of Red Mansions, the children of the Guqin family listened to the Qin in their mother's womb, and there was a certain chance that Qinxin would be born.
Although Gu Rugen and Gu Rumei are brothers and sisters, he has no piano heart and no earth spirit roots.
The spiritual roots and the piano heart are both gifted by God, just like a rare phoenix.
Because of this, Qin Di has few apprentices.
If we only talk about the earth spiritual roots, Gu Rumei and Gu Ruhu's qualifications are not very good. Gu Ruhu's qualifications are about the eighth-grade spiritual roots, while Gu Rumei has the seventh-grade spiritual roots. These two are not as good as Yan Xue. Yan Xue's qualifications are stronger than them, and they are the fourth-grade water and wood spiritual roots. It is already very rare in this place where spiritual energy is scarce.
For cultivators, spiritual roots are very important, but not the only element of success.
When Qin Di entered the sect of cultivation in his previous life, his spiritual roots were not very good, and he eventually became an immortal emperor.
He looked at the lost Gu Rugeng and said, "I will pass on you a mantra to nourish your qi. As long as you practice every day, your piano skills will be greatly improved."
Then, he wrote a mantra suitable for mortals to practice and handed it over.
Gu Rugen bowed and said, "Thank you sir."
Qin Di led everyone to visit Yuelu Mountain and Orange Island, and then left Changsha.
