Gu Chuan's head made bicycles and persuaded the concave-faced businessman, and Chuan's mother was creating traces of the existence of "Marco Polo".

The traces of man are easy to create, because the living are always alike. The traces of things are difficult to create, because things that do not exist are hard to imagine.

Finally, the mother and son met in front of the candlelight on the eve of their return to the city.

"Have you negotiated your car business with the concave face merchant?"

When Gu Chuan was eating, Chuan's mother asked him.

“…… It's not all right yet, we haven't made an agreement on paper, and when we enter the city, we have to go to the notary office, and outside the notary office, we have to make a private contract. ”

Gu Chuan said.

"The notary office is good, safe, and there is the supervision of the council, good!" After hearing this, Chuan's mother twisted Gu Chuan's change of clothes again. These were the ones he had replaced when he came back, and he would take them with him when he left tomorrow. Water droplets drip along the folds of the fabric into the basin below. Chuanmu stopped again and fell into contemplation, her smooth neck like a clean mountain spring in the collar.

"Then he won't be his alchemy?"

"He now sees real gold in business...... Alchemy ......" Gu Chuan pursed his lips, "The dogs are no longer refining!" ”

Chuan's mother laughed deliciously.

It was already very late at night, and Chuan's mother felt sleepy, covered her lips with her hands, and yawned sleepily, and then she didn't know what she thought, and suddenly said with a childish coquettishness, "Can you tell me more about you?" It won't take too long, just talk about it for a while......"

"Of course!"

The smug young man bared his white teeth and smiled heartily at his mother in this life. Unhurriedly, he began to talk about corporate shares, investments and loans. This is a common concept in any society, that is, the expansion of borrowing, giving and cooperating. But this world is not like Gu Chuan's previous life, which perfected the financial game to a level of delicacy that is difficult for ordinary people to relate, and everything is still brand new.

Then he said:

"The technology of the bike, I decided to sell it all to a concave face merchant to cash out a huge sum of money. If he sold it to a concave-faced merchant for this huge amount of money, he would never have it. So I made a detour with him. ”

"A detour?"

"The amount has been negotiated, and it is a total of one million color-changing stone coins. But he doesn't have the money, so what to do? I joined him in announcing that he had borrowed a million money from Rizhao Village, and then bought the technology and support for the bike from me to return it in batches over the next ten years. ”

The number of one million scared Chuanmu.

How much steel hammer does this take! Don't fill this room to the fullest!

"The transaction requires a voucher, and the voucher is in the form of a strange coupon used by the Deep Earth family." Gu Chuan first explained some rudimentary finances in the city to Chuan's mother, and Chuan's mother listened carefully. Then the little kid said, "But ours is not called a strange coupon, is this the name of the Deep Earth family!" Ours is called stocks. He borrowed 1 million from me and invested 1 million in his own assets. That's a total of two million color-changing coins. Let's split it into 200 odd bills. One hundred of them are pledged as loans, which I hold, which is actually equivalent to one million shares of my technology, and he holds the other half of the shares. This share represents control and dividends of the upcoming bicycle business, and he and I are shareholders. ”

To be precise, the concave-faced businessman did hold half of it, but the other half was not only in Gu Chuan's hands, and ten of them were also distributed to the villagers who were also involved in the design of the bicycle. These villagers are also heading to Sunset City.

"In each subsequent solar term, he has the right of first refusal to buy back a certain number of shares from me at a certain price until all are repurchased. If he had enough money, he could buy all of my equity and make the bike his unique one, and I would only have the naming rights. ”

This series made Chuanmu dizzy. She didn't understand anything else, only the word million:

"The Concave Face Merchant has a million color-changing stone coins! We've got a million color-changing coins, too! ”

Chuanmu was taken aback.

Whether the entire Rizhao Village can make up 100,000 color-changing stone coins is a big question!

The feeling of a child suddenly getting rich brought her a sense of pride and happiness that lasted for a few seconds, but it quickly turned back to worry, and she stood up and rummaged through the places where she could hide her things—where was all this money going to be! It seems that the jar and the wall can't be stuffed in, or bury it in the ground?

Gu Chuan shook his head and grinned:

"Where is it! No, how can we have so much money, how can we have. Maybe only the families in the inner city can have more than a million savings, right? ”

One example is the Deep Earth family. The Deep Earth family used their own strange goods trading market as a bet to raise funds from all of Sunset City, and it was only the number of tens of millions of color-changing stone coins.

"Ah...... Ogawa, didn't you say that the concave face merchant invested a million in the chameleon coins? ”

Mother Sichuan was puzzled.

Gu Chuan smiled and continued:

"None of us have so much money, I don't really lend him a million dollars, and if I want the boss to come up with a million assets, he doesn't have enough money for all his belongings! We're just ...... The Void made such a settlement, but we only ordered such an amount, but we will declare it to the outside world. ”

Sunset City is not in a position to regulate financial activity without strong financial institutions.

"Why?" This made Chuan's mother even more puzzled, "You just do business together, and it would be good for one person to take half of it." We got together in Rizhao Village, although we don't have the solid background of the concave face merchant, but we are not lost to this concave face merchant! ”

Gu Chuan pursed his lips and snickered, with a childish cunning:

"Mom, have you ever thought about it? Are we really going to make the bike factory bigger? Do we need to spend a few years or decades working hard to make this bike our foundation? What if someone wants to buy or force someone to participate in the business of this bicycle on the way? Although, I think, the bike will definitely be the focus of Sunset City...... Yes, there will always be some invention that will be the focus of Sunset City. ”

Chuanmu was stunned.

"But it's impossible to say whether the bicycle can become popular, after all, there are many problems with this car, and the rubber pipe will be punctured at any time, and maybe the body will fall apart after a while. Even if it is popular, is it possible that hundreds of thousands of craftsmen in the huge sunset city will not be able to imitate it? Maybe it's better than what we made! Okay, even if the craftsmen can't imitate it, how much equipment can we buy with our money, and how many employees we can hire to make the most money without being competitive! How can there be so many credible manpower! Even if we have the money to hire people and buy a lot of equipment and materials, the bicycle industry can make millions or tens of millions of dollars in the future, but in my lifetime, can I really make a million color-changing stone coins? ”

The concave businessman intentionally wanted to make the bicycle his family business.

It's like the New Water Family's boats and fishery, the Round Tower Family's buildings, or the Deep Earth Family's curiosities.

The so-called family business is something that has been passed down from generation to generation. There is a high probability that a concave-faced businessman will put a large number of his relatives, friends, and blood relatives into the upcoming bicycle business.

Gu Chuan would do the same, but he never thought of passing this thing on from generation to generation.

A lifetime is too long, he can't wait that long.

He put down his chopsticks. The chopsticks are like toppled chess pieces that fall on the table in succession:

"But I don't want to, and I haven't wanted to do this business all the time, we want money, we want to cash out as soon as possible...... However, the technical summary is only a few pieces of paper, and only when it is replaced by a real factory can it be eye-catching. But since it has been replaced by a factory, who will value the factory? Now, we're going to get that valuation into our hands as soon as possible, and that's what a million means. ”

This has entered a realm that Chuan Mu never thought of.

Most of the businesses she has come into contact with are simple, mostly small individual shops. This simple mother always thinks that a person can always make a thing big on his own, and never thinks about the existence of blocking, imitating, plagiarizing and borrowing.

Mother Sichuan didn't quite understand everything Gu Chuan said, and she didn't know what direction the child was going, she only felt that her child was triumphant and very good-looking:

"You're doing what you want to do, aren't you?"

This question was simple, but it made Gu Chuan pause.

He nodded solemnly for a long time, and said without hesitation:

"Yes."

"It's getting late, go to sleep, tomorrow you have to have the energy to do good, and you're going to take the caravan road again! I'll help you tidy up your clothes again, and I'm going to sleep. ”

Chuan's mother picked up her wrung out clothes, spread them on the cutting board, covered her lips again, and yawned slightly.

Gu Chuan stared at Mother Chuan, and for some reason, an indescribable shame rose in his heart, telling him to turn his head sideways. He unconsciously looked out the window at the river, the water was clear and the pebbles were round. Then he got up, dressed in the loose-fitting clothes of a larger adult, and ran into the room, leaning his hand against the door, before turning his head and humming a little.

The village by the river is still quiet, the wind has not yet risen, and the sound of cold anvils and clothes is heard from several households, and several families are separated.

The next day, the solar term of the great heat has passed, and the weather in the caravan is said to be a warm and good solar term.

The boys are going to hit the road again.

I was just as excited as the first time to go to Sunset City, but it wasn't the same excitement anymore.

"How?"

Gu Chuan rode on the bicycle, raised his bony fingers, and looked into the distance. The distant hills were shrouded in a shadow of fog, and it was difficult to see the details.

The boyish girl sat in the open-top carriage and grinned:

"The first excitement comes from the curiosity of exploration, and the second excitement comes from the establishment of a career!"

The teenagers weren't the most excited, the most excited were the concave businessmen.

The concave-faced businessman couldn't sleep well for days and nights, and the biological clock was messed up. When the young people were talking, he woke up slowly, and as soon as he woke up, he asked the long-term worker nine catties:

"Bike, is the bike still there?"

Jiujin replied to him:

"Master, it's still there, you see that Young Master Chuan is riding!"

Since Gu Chuan finished negotiating the deal with the concave-faced businessman, Changgong Jiujin's name for Gu Chuan has changed, and he no longer dares to look up at Gu Chuan like before.

Gu Chuan noticed this unconscious situation, and the concave-faced businessman was just ordinary.

He raised his head and saw that Gu Chuan was riding a bicycle, between the caravans, walking with sheep and horses, and he was relieved.

"Okay, okay!"

Then he burst out laughing.

"The bike is good!"

The concave-faced businessman also wanted to learn a bicycle, so Gu Chuan taught him.

But riding on it, there were no feet on the left, and there were no feet on the right, and the car was suspended on the ground, and the two wheels were one behind the other, and the concave-faced merchant immediately panicked:

"Am I going to fall? Do you want to be like a circus actor...... Keep your body balanced. ”

The concave-faced merchant remembered when he was a child and saw a hawker from afar walking on a tightrope in the air.

"No, I've been riding for so long, and the first time I saw you, I let go, did the bike fall over?"

Gu Chuan said with a smile.

But he really had a hard time explaining why the bike wouldn't fall over.

Because modern science cannot give perfect answers...... It is said that at first, some people thought it was the gyroscopic effect and the backward tilt effect, but where did the Baijia number say to Gu Chuan that without these two, the bicycle can maintain balance, and Balabala still has papers in the past 200s. After that, Gu Chuan had never been in contact with it, and he had forgotten all the knowledge he knew at the beginning, only knowing that the frame wheel was designed, and it would not fall because of a lot of physical reasons.

The concave-faced merchant was still flustered, and said:

"I'm just in the business of selling bicycles, and I don't have to ride a bicycle."

Gu Chuan laughed at him:

"You said you want to make a bicycle your family's 'foundation', and you are the founder of the foundation who can't even ride a bicycle, are you embarrassed?"

It's the same as making mobile phones without using their own mobile phones, making cars without using their own cars, and building houses without living in their own houses.

"That's what you have to say! Boss. ”

The concave face tightened all of a sudden, and he almost fell into it.

Bicycles and horse-drawn carriages are parked on dirt roads.

"If you don't want to do it again, you'll have to procrastinate."

Gu Chuan was on the side of the bicycle and said to the concave-faced businessman.

Who knew that at this time, the concave face merchant made up his mind:

"Learn, I'm going to learn. If you didn't fall, I certainly won't. ”

Gu Chuan let go of the handle in surprise and asked the concave-faced businessman to grasp it:

"Okay, be careful."

The concave businessman began to learn to ride a bicycle. The concave-faced merchant was willful, because he practiced his bicycle, and told the caravan to be fast for a while, slow for a while, and stop for a while, waiting for him to stop. Not to mention, this person's sense of balance is really not bad, and he can get started in a few clicks. Then, galloping into the wind, so happy.

The crisp sound of the big plate driving the small plate gear made the concave-faced merchant excited, and he wanted to leave the sheep cart behind him all the way. Then the road was bumpy, and the tried rubber pipe was punctured, and his butt hurt, and he was also a kind of extraordinary fun.

"Hah-"

As he rode on, the concave-faced merchant suddenly let out a strange cry that only a young man had, causing his hired hands, the craftsmen of Rizhao Village, and the real young people to laugh.

This was not a terrible thing, and the concave face of the merchant immediately turned green, and he turned his head and swept his hired man solemnly. The group of hired workers immediately suppressed their laughter and choked their faces green.

On the carriage, He'an moved his buttocks, approached Gu Chuan, and asked him:

"Is that your way of switching?"

He has not forgotten the concept of "bank" that Gu Chuan said. Gu Chuan said they needed to make some preparations for being a bank.

But Gu Chuan didn't reply to him, but looked into the distance.

The caravan was already very close to the outskirts of Sunset City. Thus the rugged landscape, the strips or small patches of farmland, the long walls, and the signs of the eyes that must have been found in the buildings, were again revealed in the twilight.

There were also some wonderful remnants of the city-building festival floating in the sky, which amazed the people of the earth.

On the ground, Gu Chuan saw from a distance a large number of young people, teenagers, or parents and children from various villages, entering and leaving Sunset City.

Some were carried by caravans, some came by caravan, and some came by themselves.

At this time, Gu Chuan asked:

"Riverbank, do you see anything?"

The young people's eyes were immediately drawn to it.

Riverbank replied sincerely:

"People, many, many people."

"That's right......"

Gu Chuan smiled:

Mr. De said that judging from the records of the past dynasties, the two solar terms after the founding festival are the most dense time for the population circulation of Sunset City...... There will be a lot of new people coming to Sunset City. ”

The founding festival of Sunset City is a bit like the Spring Festival that Gu Chuan is familiar with, and there will be a large-scale movement of population.

"But what did they come into the city for?"

"Xiaochuan, this is just like us, part-time jobs, some part-time jobs, and they have to pay a tuition fee!"

"Riverbank, you're right."

Gu Chuan replied calmly.

I don't know when, the wind picked up on the road, and the new grass and the dying grass were all swaying with the wind. The great river of sunshine runs through Sunset City, and the round sun is on the water, infinitely bright red.

He whispered again:

"We also charge a tuition fee, okay?"
