Chapter Eighty-Nine: A drink and a peck, all are a fixed number
There is always a boring topic that people like to discuss, which house is the most expensive in Shanghai, such as the much-debated Tomson Yipin and COFCO Seaview No. 1.
But no matter how you discuss it, after all, you can't get around the Tan Palace in the western suburbs of Shanghai, which can be called the ceiling of Huaguo's mansion.
In terms of price, the highest price of Tomson Yipin was once as high as 250 million, and COFCO Seaview No. 1 is also comparable.
But Tan Palace, even in 2005, the value of each villa has been hundreds of millions, and the only transaction price that has been rumored to be the No. 8 villa is as high as 460 million in 2008.
Ten years ago, it was already this price, let alone in 2016, when property prices have skyrocketed.
But the luxury of Dangu is not limited to its high price.
What's more, it's a force that ordinary people can't understand.
Just from the geographical location, it can be called a heifer flying, located in Hongqiao, the western suburbs of Shanghai, adjacent to the state guesthouse in the western suburbs of Shanghai.
In order to improve the quality and promote sales, didn't Pengcheng Bay No. 1 play the slogan of "staying in Pengcheng Bay and being neighbors with Brother Xiaoma"?
If you want to talk about the celebrity effect, Dangong is definitely stronger than these top real estate.
Because near the Tan Palace, I saw an inconspicuous old man walking around the corner, and he might be a big old man who didn't dare to write.
The convoy that was still in the Haiquan Music Bar just now, but here, it could only drive slowly, and even stopped on the side of the road a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the gate, only the old red flag wheels with the 00008 license plate were still driving towards the community.
At this time, in addition to the driver, there were only Gu Cheng and Tan Yuanlin in the car.
As for the Fufu group, it has been arranged by Gu Cheng alone on a Rolls-Royce.
Even I saw this second grandfather for the first time, how could I take her with me?
With the release of the guard at the door, the car started again, and a few minutes later, it came to the 12th villa area.
"Gu Shao, it's here."
"Oh, good."
Although the green scenery in the Tan Palace is good, especially in this early autumn night, it has a unique flavor, but Gu Cheng didn't have the heart to look at the scenery outside the window, and kept his head down and pondered, until Tan Yuanlin's reminder made him come back to his senses.
Tan Yuanlin took Gu Cheng to the door of the villa, and habitually began to brush his face on the electronic identification lock at the door.
When the confirmation was passed, the door of the villa opened, and Tan Yuanlin retreated behind Gu Cheng.
Looking at Tan Yuanlin, who had never broken a smile on his face, Gu Cheng couldn't help but scold, in the past few hours, Gu Cheng really didn't find that Tan Yuanlin had the temperament of a top lawyer...
If anything, he has a similar posture to Pete.
More like a professional personal butler.
But no matter what, being able to brush his face and enter the door at will at Gu Hebang's place of residence is enough to prove that he is the absolute henchman of his second grandfather.
The villa manor, which covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, stands to reason that there must be a few professions such as cooking, cleaning up nannies and housekeepers, but until Gu Cheng was about to walk to the door of the villa, there was still no movement.
Tan Yuanlin also sensed Gu Cheng's doubts, and explained with a smile: "The old man doesn't like others to take care of him, since the group established a strategic consulting department, he can be regarded as in a state of leisure at home, and usually even cooks by himself when he eats."
vertex
There are only two days a week when the housekeeper comes to tidy up and clean. ”
Hearing the explanation, Gu Cheng also nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"Winter, winter, winter."
Tan Yuanlin knocked on the door gently, and at the same time, a voice full of anger came from the house: "The door is not locked." ”
Tan Yuanlin pushed the door open and motioned for Gu Cheng to enter, but he didn't take a single step.
Gu Cheng was not pretentious, and walked directly into the hall.
When Gu Cheng saw the layout in the hall, he was slightly stunned, a little stunned, the No. 12 villa in the Tan Palace, from the outside, belongs to the Spanish Marbella style, but the decoration and layout in the hall is a traditional Chinese style, except for the necessary electrical appliances such as lights, there is not even a TV.
The huge wooden sofa, surrounded by dark red color, hollowed out and carved dragon and phoenix auspicious pictures show a majestic atmosphere, no need to guess to know that the value is absolutely expensive.
On the very central wall of the hall hangs a portrait of a great man.
And under the photo, there is a thin old man wearing glasses, a big white vest, and his bare skin is full of dry folds, and there is almost no way to imagine that such a little old man is a business giant worth more than 200 billion!
"Coming?"
Gu Hebang put down the "Mao Xuan" in his hand, and smiled and opened his mouth to Gu Cheng who was standing at the door. And the pronunciation of these two words is still the dialect of Shuzhou, Anhui Province, my hometown. It's hard to imagine how such a thin little old man could make such a loud and neutral voice.
And Gu Cheng, the moment he saw Gu Hebang raise his head, Tong Kong instantly enlarged.
This sense of shock is no less than the moment of rebirth.
No wonder I always felt that the voice on the phone was familiar at that time, it turned out that the so-called second grandfather Gu Hebang had seen it in his previous life.
Gu Cheng's memory was instantly pulled back to the last day before he was reborn in his previous life.
At that time, Gu Cheng was 26 years old, and he was still in his prime in the eyes of outsiders, but he was a real low-level social animal, doing the most work in a small company and getting the least salary.
There is no other reason, because even an ordinary clerk in the company is a college graduate.
And he's just a dropout.
In the world of ordinary people, academic qualifications are a dividing line, and the difference in treatment between graduates from heavy universities and ordinary universities is very different, not to mention that Gu Cheng only has a high school diploma after dropping out?
Maybe there are good people who raise the bar, and there are many old people who make a lot of money without education.
This kind of talk cannot be said to be nonsense, but only that they do not understand what cardinal probability and survivorship bias are.
They only saw that one of the 100 elders only had a primary school diploma, but was worth tens of billions, but they couldn't see that the remaining 99 elders were all graduates of prestigious schools, or their own family backgrounds were extremely rich.
Others laugh at themselves as social animals, just complaining that they can't pay off their car loans and housing loans.
But at that time, Gu Cheng was extremely poor even for daily consumption in life, because once the spending was exceeded, it was likely that he would not even be able to pay the rent.
This kind of life that can be seen at a glance, Gu Cheng has lived for 6 years.
Until the last day before his rebirth, Gu Cheng happened to be paid his salary that day, habitually bought a dozen beers and two packs of peanuts, and sat on the open-air bench downstairs in the community and drank stuffy wine.
happened to meet Gu Hebang in 2022, and Gu Hebang at that time was also the same as now, wearing big pants and a white vest, but his body was full of the breath of the small people in the market, and he did not have the slightest old temperament.
With beer and peanuts, Gu Cheng listened to Gu Hebang blow for more than an hour.
tells how he made a name for himself in the mall, Gu Cheng, who didn't know anything at that time, only thought he was bragging, but he also listened to it with relish.
And Gu Cheng also used the strength of wine to pour bitter water towards Gu Hebang, telling about his bitterness in the past 6 years.
What exactly they talked about, Gu Cheng can't remember clearly.
But he still remembered the eight words that Gu Hebang patted his shoulder when the two left.
"A drink and a peck, all are a fixed number."
At that time, Gu Cheng didn't believe in the so-called fate at all, and made a wish jokingly, if there was really a fate, he would want to be a rich second generation who was poor and luxurious in the next life...
As a result, just made a wish.
No car accidents, no falls.
There are no surprises.
Gu Cheng was reborn without warning.
And his wish has really come true, and he has really become a poor and luxurious second generation who wants to be rich.
It stands to reason that the rebirth time is so short, Gu Cheng's memory is still retained, and he should be able to distinguish Gu Hebang from the voice, but when he was talking on the phone before, he didn't guess that his second grandfather was the little old man who was still drinking and bragging with him before he was reborn.
Gu Hebang didn't interrupt Gu Cheng's memories, he just looked at Gu Cheng with kindness in his eyes, and didn't say with a smile until he saw Gu Cheng come to his senses: "Come and sit here." ”
Knowing that he had crossed paths with his second grandfather in his previous life, Gu Cheng's apprehension when he came had long since disappeared, so he slowly walked in front of Gu Hebang and sat down gently.
"Second grandfather."
Gu Hebang didn't respond, just looked at Gu Cheng's handsome appearance with satisfaction and nodded.
"I called you boy over today, I don't mean anything else, I just want to meet you, if I'm not mistaken, we should meet for the second time, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Chengtong shrank...
I can conclude that except for meeting him in my previous life in 2022, I have definitely not met Gu Hebang in the 20 years of this life.
Could it be that ...
His second grandfather was also reborn?!
I saw Gu Hebang say with a smile: "I remember that you were not yet full moon at that time, your face was wrinkled, I never thought that you could be so handsome as you are now, old man." ”
Gu Cheng: "......"
Sure enough, I still thought too much about it.
After being speechless for a while, Gu Cheng also smiled and said, "That should be the first time we met, after all, I was too young at that time, and I don't remember." ”
"Twice!"
Gu Hebang was very stubborn and repeated it again.
Without waiting for Gu Cheng to respond, Gu Hebang sighed and said: "In the end, your grandfather is still ruthless, after cutting off relations with me back then, he didn't want to see me until he died, and when you were born, I still secretly went to see you."
Your dad is a donkey, too!
When your grandfather died, you were only a few years old, so I asked him to take over my class, but he said that your grandfather did not allow him to have contact with me, and he refused to live or die, so he had to start his own business. ”
Gu Cheng listened quietly as Gu Hebang recalled the past.
is also like the night when the two drank and bragged about peanuts before they were reborn.
"For your grandfather, I am really guilty, he is 16 years older than me, your grandfather left early, he was a brother and a father who pulled me up.
If it weren't for the youth and vigor I was back then..."
As he spoke, Gu Hebang's tone was also a little choked.
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past."
"Fortunately, the old man is also competitive, I didn't embarrass the old Gu family, and I have broken out some family business over the years, and I don't have a queen, these things will be left to you sooner or later in the future."
“?”
Gu Cheng looked at Gu Hebang suspiciously.
I still have a dad on my head, why is it my turn first?
Gu Hebang also understood Gu Cheng's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Your father is a tough seed like your grandfather, if he was willing to ask for it, I would have stepped down a long time ago and gone to those old comrades-in-arms to drink and brag."
If he can accept that I help his little real estate company behind his back, we will already have fun..."
Listening to Gu Hebang's words, Gu Cheng couldn't help but slide down a few black lines on his head.
At this time, Gu Hebang did not look like an old man worth more than 200 billion yuan and one of the top ten in Huaguo's assets, but like a humble old man who was close to old age and could not get the filial piety of his children.
Then the two chatted for more than half an hour.
It's nothing more than Gu Hebang asking, and Gu Cheng answers.
Or Gu Hebang said, Gu Cheng listened quietly.
"Tonight's matter, you don't have to worry, your grandfather and I also have a bit of face in Shanghai, I have already said hello to the parents of those rabbit cubs, even if this matter is over, even if they are bullied by you, they will be bullied in vain."
Gu Cheng knew that the point of tonight was here!
"But that's all for today."
"Like this kind of thing that is used to your grandson, just do it once, if you do too much, outsiders will also see jokes, and when you have the ability in the future, we will hand over all the family to you, you can lose as much as you want, no one can control you."
Gu Cheng thought about it on the way here, what kind of attitude would he take to return to level 1?
After all, the system can even turn back time, and even make his second grandfather into a billionaire out of thin air, you must know that in his previous life, although there was Gu Hebang, there was absolutely no elder named Gu Hebang! Now I can search for the three words Gu Hebang on the search software, but in my previous life, it was absolutely impossible.
So, it shouldn't be too difficult for the system to clear the memory, right?
However, through Gu Hebang's communication, Gu Cheng is almost clear that there should be no such thing as erasing memories or erasing influence.
Look at it this way...
Your 1,000 wishing points are simply blood-earned!
Although after the experience, I lost the level 3 privileges of the system, but I only spent 1000 wishing points, but I have a background that can only be possessed by the level 3 system!
Although Gu Hebang made it clear that he would not help him solve the problem in the future, others didn't know.
In the eyes of outsiders, he Gu Cheng is still the heir of a 100 billion elder.
This can already be counted as a card system bug...
After all, in contemporary society, how can there be so many incidents like tonight's slap in the face?
Most of them consider the background, choose the consequences, weigh the pros and cons, and then give up.
It is precisely because of this that the importance of background is even more prominent.
In Gu Cheng's heart, just the influence of this background, let alone a thousand wishing points, even if it was 10,000 or 100,000, he felt that it was worth it.
...........
"Winter~"
A quaint table clock was rung on one side of the hall.
It was 12 o'clock in the morning.
When Gu Hebang heard the bell, his old and thin body stood up and stretched.
"It's midnight chatting and chatting, it's not comparable to you young people, I have to go and rest, there are a few guest bedrooms on the second floor, all cleaned up, don't leave tonight, rest here."
Gu Cheng also followed Gu Hebang at the first moment he got up, and he also shook his head when he heard this: "I didn't come alone, my friend is still waiting outside the Tan Palace, so I won't sleep here." ”
Waving his hand, Gu Hebang was not reluctant: "If you don't want to sleep here, forget it, and then you will come and sit down when you have time in Shanghai and chat with me." ”
Facing the elders' orders, Gu Cheng nodded solemnly.
The old man walked slowly to the master bedroom on the side of the hall with his hands behind his back.
Gu Cheng also watched for a few seconds, and then he was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as he put his hand on the doorknob, he heard Gu Hebang's voice coming from behind him again.
"Little town, you still have a long way to go, don't worry, walk slowly.
Remember a sentence, a drink and a peck, all are a fixed number, and everything in this world has been decided. ”
Gu Cheng turned around in an instant, just in time to see the bedroom door being closed.
When chatting before, he could always listen to the hints in Gu Hebang's tone, and at first he comforted himself that it was normal for the old man to chatter.
But now, he's sure!
Even if his second grandfather is not reborn, he definitely knows something!.
There is no other reason.
Just by virtue of the last sentence "A drink and a peck, all are a fixed number!" ”
(ps: Chapter 90 was caught driving, and this sentence was deleted when it was released)
