By the beginning of December, Gusu City had already entered the winter climate.

In fact, the temperature is not very low, hovering between 10 degrees and 0 degrees every day, but the cold in Gusu City is that kind of clammy cold, it seems that the cold air with water droplets into your clothes, a small wind blows, swishing cold.

The Lao Gusu people still like to use the "soup woman" for warmth, which is a copper flat pot, filled with hot water, wrapped in a towel, which can be kept warm for a long time.

In addition to the soup woman, there are also old bathrooms all over Gusu City, unlike the shower heads and large pools of the north wind, they are all rows of large wooden barrels, and the bathhouse guys filled the wooden barrels with fragrant tea-like water, and they also have to say: "This is the secret soup made by the old spring hall of the Su family, and the Chinese medicine preparation ......"

Li Shaoyang came out of the barrel happily, looked at the man who was rubbing the bath, and really didn't like it, so he walked out of the bathhouse and looked at this thousand-year-old city.

Some people say that Gusu City does not have the royal spirit of Jinling, the peach blossoms here are too bright, the flowing water is too shallow, the women are too pretty, Wu Nong's soft language is just like the sound of the glamour, and there is a little less heroic song of the hero. But they don't know that this was once the battlefield of Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony, there was a white-haired Wu Zixu here to take revenge, there is also the story of Xi Shi, the first beautiful female spy in ancient times, and the sword of Wu Wangfucha, and the Wu Yue swordsman with three thousand armors.

Li Shaoyang shook his head, shook off this strange emotion, and walked into a restaurant briskly.

This is an old signboard in the northwest alley of Gusu City, you can't find it if you are not a real foodie, of course Li Shaoyang doesn't know, but Zhou Dagongzi is a standard foodie.

Zhou Dagongzi, who was sitting there eating sweet silk snails, got up with a smile and let Li Shaoyang sit opposite, and then wiped his hands: "There is nothing else in Gusu City, this Subang cuisine is really good, in the Chinese cuisine, there are many categories of Su cuisine, what Huaiyang cuisine, Jinling cuisine, Meizhou cuisine, I have eaten." ”

Li Shaoyang looked at the food in front of him, this Zhou Dagongzi really knows how to eat. In particular, the "Biluo Spring Stuffy River Shrimp", the selection is the freshwater river shrimp of South Taihu Lake, stewed with Gusu Biluo Spring Tea, the most classic method is not to add a little other seasoning, with the river shrimp itself lightly salty, add the tea fragrance of Biluochun, the taste is extremely light, and the northerners can't eat it at all.

But Mr. Zhou seems to be able to eat it, and he takes the trouble to pick up vegetables for Li Shaoyang.

This guy came from Kyoto in a hurry, called Tang Yanran three times, and almost begged to meet Li Shaoyang and invite Li Shaoyang to dinner...... But, is it really just eating?

Li Shaoyang thought so in his heart, he now knew that since Zhou Mulan fled and disappeared, the entire Kyoto had been shaken, and the Su family in Gusu City had not slept all night.

It's going to change, for the Su family, without Zhou Mulan's support, where will the family go?

For the Zhou family in Kyoto, how to minimize the losses in this incident, and how to make Zhou Mulan's case a big and small?

And for Zhou Dagongzi, it seems to see a wonderful dawn and an infinite future.

At this time, the eldest prince of Zhou suddenly took out a wine glass, a copper tripod-like wine glass, pushed it in front of Li Shaoyang, and brought out a plate of black barbecue......

Li Shaoyang frowned: "What the hell is this?"

Master Zhou smiled: "This is the Jiuding Cup, and this plate is roast venison." ”

Roast venison? Li Shaoyang was puzzled, there was never such a dish in Gusu cuisine, this was obviously a northern dish in the Manchu and Han banquets.

But as soon as his heart moved, he immediately understood what Zhou Dagongzi meant.

Ask the "Ding" world, chase the "deer" Kyushu!

Li Shaoyang smiled faintly: "You're exaggerating, aren't you?" It's just that Zhou Mulan had an accident, that's your own sister. ”

Zhou Dagongzi's face was calm: "She is not my sister, when I was twelve years old, I fought with her for a Transformer toy, and she pressed it into the toilet bowl and almost choked to death, my grandfather was still alive at that time, do you know what the old man said?" ”

Li Shaoyang was moved: "I started fighting at such a young age!" ”

Master Zhou's face became gloomy: "The old man told the whole family that Mulan, this girl, is domineering and is a good material. Fuck me, I'm her brother. ”

He gasped, as if to release the depression in his heart, and it was finally time to release it.

Li Shaoyang glanced at him: "We've all met, don't you know the name of the eldest prince of Zhou?" ”

Zhou Dagongzi's face instantly improved, and he stretched out his finger and said: "Indeed, people who know me are embarrassed to call me by my name, mainly because it is too vulgar, my big name is Zhou Jincai, Jinzi's gold, and wealth." ”

Li Shaoyang couldn't help but smile: "It's indeed vulgar." ”

Prince Zhou pursed his lips and said: "This is the name that the dead old man gave me, because he thinks I love money, look at my sister, the old man named 'Mulan', hey, Mulan joined the army on behalf of her father, just from this name, you should know that the Zhou family regards my sister as the future heir." ”

He seemed to be unabashed in the face of Li Shaoyang, and slapped the table excitedly at this time: "So, this time you did so beautifully, so that Zhou Mulan has no possibility of turning over, so I just want to tell you today, I am willing to compete with you in Kyushu and win the world." ”

Li Shaoyang was stunned, and his heart was even more funny, the former king Fengyue was there to "do a heroic career" with himself. Today, Zhou Dagongzi shouted out to chase the world.

He pushed away the small ding and roast deer in front of him, and said to Master Zhou: "There are two things you have to understand first. ”

Li Shaoyang also stretched out his finger: "First, Zhou Mulan is not dead. Second, I'm not interested in competing in the world. ”

Master Zhou was surprised: "Why aren't you interested?" ”

For some reason, Li Shaoyang remembered what Wang Fengyue said at this time, and naturally rushed out: "Because Kyushu is too small in your eyes, and the world is too small......"

Master Zhou smiled hesitantly: "Don't tell me, what you want to conquer is the sea of stars......"

Li Shaoyang thought of Wang Fengyue again, so he said softly: "That's okay." ”

Master Zhou was speechless. After a long time, he came back to his senses: "Okay, these are all things for the future, at present, you are always interested in the Su family, right?" ”

Finally got to the point, Li Shaoyang sat up straight: "Yes, I'm very interested in the Su family, let's talk about it, how do you want to cooperate with me?"

Master Zhou touched the wine glass in front of him, but changed the subject: "Li Shaoyang, do you know what our Zhou family's biggest business is?" ”

Li Shaoyang did collect information on this question, but he never figured it out, so he became interested at this time: "I really want to ask for advice about this." ”

Zhou Dagongzi said: "Unlike the Xue family, our Zhou family does not have an industry, but our family has seven investment funds. Two at home and five abroad are all large-scale investment funds hidden behind them, and their annual foreign investment is at least 100 million yuan, which is US dollar ......"

Li Shaoyang was moved: "I really didn't expect it, you are playing with capital." ”

Zhou Dagongzi nodded: "I can't say what kind of capital operation, but the seven investment funds we have in our hands are all incomparable to those well-known venture capital institutions, let's talk about the most famous example, the Rothschild family, this family has always been very popular on the Internet, do you know?" ”

Li Shaoyang nodded: "I heard that this family has a wealth of trillions of dollars and is the largest dealer in the world." ”

Zhou Dagongzi sneered: "That's all shit, the so-called Rothschilds are a last settler, they did have a good time in the 19th century, but now, if you can come up with 2 billion US dollars, thank God, it's all rumors, novelist nonsense." ”

Zhou Dagongzi said eloquently: "There are bookmakers behind the world's venture capital companies, and the biggest bankers are superpowers. At most, they speculate a few times, and a few like Soros are already the limit. ”

He lowered his voice when he said this: "But as far as I know, the world is already changing, and there are investment funds that can resist superpowers, and gradually become investment funds that influence one side, and there are three. ”

Li Shaoyang waited for him to continue.

Zhou Dagongzi was bored: "I didn't expect you to be so calm, this is the biggest secret in the financial world, these three are Atlantic Investment, Pacific Finance, and the Islamic consortium formed by the desert tyrants......"

Li Shaoyang interrupted him: "So how about your Zhou's investment?" ”

Zhou Dagongzi sighed: "Our family has too much money, so we have to split it into seven, in case it is cleaned, the largest investment project in the country at present, not to mention you know, is the Su family, we inject a part of the capital into the Su family every year, and it has lasted for thirty years." It's a loss-making deal. ”

Li Shaoyang finally understood why the Su family relied so much on Zhou Mulan, over the past few decades, the Su family has been used to getting this huge amount of money every year, so they are constantly expanding, and the finances of the entire Su family are very bad, and now if the injection of funds is suddenly stopped, then the stalls spread by the Su family will become a drag, and maybe the entire Su family will go bankrupt.

He looked at Zhou Dagongzi: "Can I join your investment fund for the Su family?" ”

Zhou Dagongzi said in his heart, you are finally interested. But he said, "I can't be the master now......"

Of course, Li Shaoyang understood what he meant: "Then what can I do for you?" ”

"Refreshing!" Zhou Dagongzi clapped his hands: "Now Zhou Mulan, my lovely sister has disappeared, and the family is about to hold a meeting to decide the next move, at this time, the Wang family's opinion will be decisive." ”

He leaned forward: "If you can help me say a few words to the Wang family, then I will be eighty percent sure that I will get the two domestic investment funds, including the three largest foreign investment companies that Sister Wang used to control. ”

Li Shaoyang immediately got up: "Wait for my news." ”

He walked out of the restaurant and looked up at the changing sky, and now it was a good time to clear the dark clouds and see the sun.
