Chapter 139 Bet
I barely slept that night, I sat in bed in a daze, time seemed to freeze, I didn't know what I was thinking or remembering, or I was just in a daze.
The morning sun reminds me that I am alive, truly living in this absurd world where time is reversed. I rode back to school, and from now on, it seemed that my life should be on track, that is, I had to cherish my normal life more and keep it up.
In the afternoon, Li Shusheng drove the black Mercedes-Benz to the school, talked with Lao Hu cordially, and quickly completed the transfer procedures. This side is willing to release people, and Hong Kong is willing to accept it, and that is a happy situation.
Li Shusheng came to me after completing the transfer procedures, and his face could not tell whether he was happy or angry, in short, he seemed to be relieved. Maybe it's because his daughter is willing to forgive him and accept his father's love, so he can be regarded as letting go of a big burden in his heart.
Li Shusheng told me that the book city is now officially named the Jushu Book Cultural Exchange Center, and the foundation stone is about to be laid, and it is estimated that it will be completed next year, and he still hopes that I can work in his company after graduation.
I could only smile and say yes first, who knows what will happen in the future.
I asked him if he was working with the Federation of Literary and Art Circles on the Writers' Village project, and he said yes, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles had already helped him approve it, but the name is now bigger, called the Cultural Industry Base, including the Writers' Village. In terms of land, the government will naturally give him a lower price, and it is believed that in this way, the industrial base and cultural center will be integrated, and a huge cultural circle will be established in the west of the city.
As soon as he said this, I understood, it seems that in the end, Qian Haiping really accepted Li Shusheng's Hong Kong dollars.
At this time, Li Shusheng suddenly mentioned Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games, saying that if Beijing succeeds in its bid for the Olympic Games, it will greatly stimulate the economy, especially the stock market and real estate, in the next seven years, and it will definitely reach a new level. Moreover, the Chinese government is determined to win this time, and judging from various analyses, Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games has great hopes. It seems that the 2000 Beijing Olympics will also be a booster for his Li Shusheng's career. So he recently wants to re-enter the market, mobilize new funds from Hong Kong into the mainland real estate market, and take advantage of the Olympic wind to regain his losses in Hainan and Guangdong.
I reminded him that the world is unpredictable, after all, the Olympic bid was not successful, and there is a big difference between hope and security. In addition, most of his current funds have been invested in this cultural center and writers' village in Hangzhou, and it is already very risky to circle such a large land and build such a large project, so there is no need to mobilize funds to add trouble to himself.
Li Shusheng looked at me with surprise as he had done when he had dinner at Shangri-La and said, "Zhou Xu, do you seem to know that the Olympic bid will fail?"
I was speechless for a while, indeed, of course, I knew that this Olympic bid was a failure, but I also had a hidden worry, what if history did not follow the previous path?
For example, I was back at a certain point in history, but my life was not at all what I had experienced before. For example, Jin Puguang has become Qian Haiping, or Qian Haiping has become the Jin Puguang of the past. For example, the timing of meeting Bao Lina was completely wrong, for example, Li Yun's height suddenly grew taller, and she had such a wonderful relationship with me.
Finally, there is another Zhou Xu, and even the singers who sing next to the Xinhua Cinema, which are not the same as history. At least for me, it's quite different from the history I've experienced. So how can I be sure that China will really lose by two votes?
My hesitation made Li Shusheng feel even more that I was a little nervous at a young age.
He asked again: "Zhou Xu, I actually wanted to ask you before, what was the basis for your prediction that the real estate market would experience a downturn last year?" Or is it just a guess?"
I have to say I'm guessing.
Li Shusheng said thoughtfully: "Then you guess again this time, and I'll make a bet with you." ”
I said I wouldn't dare, after all, I was just a little worried, but there was no basis for it.
"So we can make a bet," Li Shusheng said, "I think you're very interesting, very different, I'll make a condition." If you win, then I'll give you the storefront in that book city, and I don't want a penny. If you lose, then I'll make a request from my daughter, and whatever she asks of you, you have to do it. ”
I touched my scalp and said, "Uncle Li, you haven't said anything about gambling yet." ”
Li Shusheng said: "Let's bet on whether China's bid for the Olympics will succeed this time." I'm optimistic about Beijing's success, but what about you?"
I said don't gamble. I thought to myself, in case I lose, what kind of request does Li Yun make? Of course, she would definitely not ask me to die, but for no reason to let Li Yun make the decision for my life, I will feel extremely uncomfortable after all.
Li Shusheng couldn't help laughing and said, "You look down on me?"
I hurriedly said, "Of course not, but I really don't have confidence, in fact, I also hope that Beijing can succeed, but ------"
Li Shusheng interrupted me and said: "Then it's decided, you kid is really a little weird, you like to talk halfway, you always look worried, you don't look like a young man." ”
I said in my heart that I was certainly not a young man. But before I could excuse myself, Li Shusheng grabbed my hand and slapped it, saying that it was an oath to high-five, and we made up our minds.
After saying that, he left with a smile. I froze in place, looked at my palm and said to myself, "Li Shusheng, Li Shusheng, why are you like a child?"
But after all, there is still some time before the final result of the Olympic bid in September, so I might as well concentrate on opening my bookstore. So I took the poster that Chen Qili had carefully drawn for me and ran to the school cafeteria to put it on.
Chen Qili drew three posters for me and helped me design a logo that was no coincidence. When it comes to trademarks, I'm honestly still having my brains crooked. In this period, I only need to go to the industrial and commercial bureau to register a few future famous brands, such as Taobao, Shanda, Nongfu Spring, Hyundai Motor, Lingyu, and even Google, and I can make a fortune.
The problem is, I'm not there yet, so take your time, there are plenty of opportunities in the future.
It's just that this kind of life may not be interesting. And this kind of history may not be as I hope, and such a trademark may not be able to sell for a sky-high price.
Just like Wahaha's trademark, if it is not supported by huge advertising costs, I am afraid that it will be worth 10,000 yuan.
Now, I'm still guarding this "no coincidence" trademark to open my bookstore, and the world has nothing to do with me.
