164 The Essence of the Chiyo Saga: The World Under the Lake
The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other and talked on their knees.
"Brother Zhan, this time your rocket launch failed, and Grandpa has been watching coldly to see your reaction. If you give up on yourself, I'm probably going to be disappointed. But my good grandson will not give me a chance to be disappointed. I'm thinking, even if it were me, I wouldn't do it better than you. “
From the launch of the 17th to today, just four days is longer than a lifetime.
Ye Zhan perked up in pain and was firm in hesitation, and it only took him a hug to get back up.
This point deserves respect.
"Grandpa, because Nessa is by my side. I do not allow myself to show any weakness and incompetence in front of the woman I love. Moreover, she also gave me the faith to persevere. ”
Three shots and three bombs, then try again.
Ye Zheng looked at his grandson deeply, and then took his hands and paced around the room. "I'm most afraid that you will be swayed by a woman and affect your judgment. Your father, who fell in love with her mother back then, don't repeat his mistakes. ”
Although the old man lives in a simple place, he knows all these things by heart.
Ye Zhan responded, "Grandpa, don't worry, Nessa and I are strong enough, and nothing can stop us." ”
Ye Zheng took the teacup, moistened his throat, and asked; "Your little girlfriend is really a surprise. You didn't ask her, what is the relationship with the people of Lushan? ”
Ye Zhan tilted her head, "When she wants to say it, she will naturally say it." I've known her for more than four months, and the vest has fallen off countless times. ”
Ye Zheng was also amused by this statement, "It stands to reason that such a woman with strong abilities approached you, I should remind you to be vigilant." But since she took the initiative to drop the vest, she didn't mean to hide it from you, so you can get along well. ”
"Well," Ye Zhan looked at his watch, he had been chatting with his grandfather for a while, and he didn't know if Nessa would be bored over there, he was just about to speak, Ye Zheng had a straight face, and spoke again: "What, I just stayed with your grandfather for a while, and I miss your little girlfriend again?" ”
Ye Zhan grabbed his hands awkwardly, and a smile squeezed out of his well-defined face, "Grandpa, look at what you said, you are a birthday star today." ”
"You haven't had a good birthday for so many years, and today Grandpa plans to give you a big gift. You come with me. ”
Ye Zhan saw that his grandfather had a solemn and serious expression on his face, and he also became solemn and followed behind his grandfather.
Ye Zheng stopped in front of a famous painting called "A Thousand Mountains", which opened to reveal a combination lock, and when he pressed the button, a door opened in the wall, revealing a long passageway.
The consternation swept over Ye Zhan in an instant, he never knew that his grandfather's study had hidden mysteries. Where does this passage lead?
Following the grandfather in, the retro lights on both sides of the passage are lit up like the constitutional era, illuminating the road ahead, and the door closes.
The surface of the channel is alloyed and non-alloyed, and the tentacles are cold and hard. After walking like this for three minutes, a door appears in front of you, and when you press the button, you will find a space that looks like a museum. In the middle of the space is a statue wearing a crown and full of majesty.
Ye Zheng pointed to the statue and said, "Come and worship your ancestors." It was this patriarch who was able to move from a constitutional monarchy to a republican era. It is also to thank him for his Zen concession, the official residence of Xihu Lake, Qiushan Garden was assigned to the Ye family, and the mining of crystal ore was returned to the Ye family. ”
Single-handedly advancing the course of federal history, that's what to say.
Ye Zhan's heart has long been turbulent, this is the history of the Federation, which is worthy of everyone's awe. He bowed deeply and respectfully towards the statue. "The ancestors are above, and they are worshiped by their descendants Ye Zhan."
Then, Ye Zheng pointed to the surrounding walls and said, "Here, it is the head of the Ye family, you can also bow down." ”
Ye Zhan looked at the string of names and bowed them one by one. For the first time, he had such a sense of glory for the great surname "Ye".
Ye Zheng then pressed on the spar tablet of an ancestor, and another door opened in the other direction of the museum, and a passage appeared again.
When the grandparents stepped in, they could faintly hear the sound of the water.
"Brother Zhan, guess where we are now?" Ye Zheng asked.
"Xihu Lake has been very quiet for many years, and I can't imagine that there is a cave below."
Ye Zheng laughed, his grandson is smart, and he guesses correctly.
Soon a door appeared in front of it, and after entering, it was a huge closed space, more than 1,000 square meters, like a national treasury. On the rows of Bogu shelves, there are clearly gold bars.
Ye Zhan gasped, Rao is that he usually swipes black cards, and bets are also counted in hundreds of millions, and he has never seen so many gold bars.
"Grandpa......?"
Ye Zheng stroked his beard, "Brother Zhan, over the years, you have done a lot of things in order to fill the holes in the launch of rockets and spaceships and build the Tiandesert base. Artificial intelligence, 3D printing, new energy, drones, every achievement is like a treasure. Each is enough to change the world. Grandpa feels sorry for you, but he hopes that you can continue to walk, so he endured it many times and didn't make a move. Today, grandpa told you the biggest secret of the Ye family, this wealth that rivals the country, you have to use it on the right path. ”
Ye Zhan took a deep breath, digested the shock and incredulity, and then regained his clarity. "Grandpa, I made a note of it."
There is a spiral staircase in the middle of the vault, which extends down, and Ye Zheng and Ye Zhan go down again, and this entire floor is full of jewels and jade. What is a pigeon egg diamond, any one here is bigger than a pigeon egg; Red agate, turquoise, yellow wax, jade, and corals more than four meters high, Blingbling will blind people's eyes.
Ye Zhan picked up a diamond, "Grandpa, I'm going to use this to make a ring for Nisha, and then a necklace." ”
Ye Zheng looked at the brilliance of his fingertips, "Now their ownership, use and domination are all yours." ”
Ye Zhan scratched his eyebrows, "Although my rocket burns money, it won't burn so much, I believe that I can fight for a future without the wealth here." ”
"Okay, ambitious. As for you, you will continue to keep it for the descendants of the Ye family. ”
The grandparents and grandchildren went down several times, and this layer was full of antique calligraphy and paintings. Ye Zhan just glanced at it and decided to continue to march towards the center of the earth.
Looking down, this layer is full of rough crystals. The purity is even higher than that of Crystal City.
"This is the first generation of spar, at that time, the environment of the Federation was still very good, and the production of crystal ore was very high, how can it be like now?"
This time, Ye Zhan's mood finally had a big ups and downs, wow, how far can this support interstellar travel! Stars are shining in my eyes.
Ye Zheng smiled, "Greed is sometimes a good quality. Well, at this level, I finally see you showing greed. ”
Ye Zhan rubbed his eyes, suspecting that his grandfather was testing his concentration. "Grandpa, when I discover a new planet, maybe crystal ore will be like our stones, all over the place."
"Hahaha, you can have this ambition, grandpa is very pleased. There is still the last layer, and the Ye family's vault journey is over. ”
The grandfather and grandson went down to the last floor, which was like an upside-down spire, with an area of only about 100 square meters, and there were no jewels or golden things, on the contrary, there were some account books on the shelves.
"Brother Zhan, this layer is the Federation's loan to the Ye family over the years. Who would have thought that the Federation, as a huge creditor country, would actually be the Ye family as the creditor behind it. Of course, these books are available electronically, and I will tell you all about them when the time comes. ”
Ye Zhan can't describe his mood anymore, he has been through the wind and waves for a long time, and today is the first time this kind of experience. This is the essence of the Chiyo family, this is the meaning of the Bai family who obviously attracted so many consortia, and I want to ask about the old house, this is the true intention of the federal president to come to the old house for the first time when the federal government encountered a financial crisis.
"Grandpa, why? Why tell me at this time? "With all this comes stress.
Ye Zheng raised his head, a strand of hair was slightly messy, his eyes were not clear, and he also had age spots on his face.
"Brother Zhan, you are my chosen successor, who to tell if I don't tell you? Your indifferent father, or your second uncle, who coveted the position of head of the family but gave birth to two unhappy children? As for your aunt, I was optimistic about her, who knew that she had been trapped by love all her life, and she was still alone. ”
"And, Brother Zhan, grandpa is really old, looking at these earth-shattering things you have done, grandpa feels that he can rest assured that he can hand over the burden to you."
