“Alright, I want to split this 100,000!"
Seeing that Bai Tian Yu already had a plan, Lao Hu nodded and naturally didn't say anything else. Hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.
“Send it to your comrade's family?”
Seeing through Lao Hu's thoughts at a glance, Bai Tian Yu asked.
Even Wang Pangzi, who was eating with gusto, stopped his chopsticks and fell silent.
This topic was a bit solemn.
“Yes, each of them had a reason to live, but they died to save me!”
Speaking of his comrades, Lao Hu's face was full of guilt, and he took out a cigarette and lit it.
Wang Pangzi also felt the same way, watching Bai Tian Yu shake his head.
There was no way, this guy Lao Hu just liked to blame everything on himself, believing it was his fault that caused his comrades' deaths.
Back then, Lao Hu had been forced to retire because he killed a prisoner of war after the death of his comrade.
Otherwise, with Lao Hu's abilities and his father's arrangements, he would never have stayed in the position of platoon leader for long.
But his father was happy about it. He had been on the battlefield and knew how dangerous it was. If anything happened, the Lao Hu family would be left without an heir.
“Lao Hu, have you ever considered if this is a real solution?”
It wasn't that it was bad for Lao Hu to send money, but even if he was the platoon leader of those comrades, he didn't have an obligation to help those orphans.
And not everyone could accept this kind of ill-gotten gains with a clear conscience. Wasn't there one in the original story?
Moreover, getting this huge sum of money out of the blue could lead to criticism and even robbery.
Now that the reforms have just started, things are still good in the capital, but other places are truly chaotic.
“What else can I do?”
Lao Hu was puzzled. He could tell what Bai Tian Yu meant, but he was fresh out of the army, knowing nothing.
If it weren't for that trip to Niu Xin Mountain to rob a tomb, he might have become a security guard.
“Hey, are you really stupid? We have money now. Once Big Gold Tooth sells the mask and the Song Dynasty porcelain, we can open a food factory or a candy factory and bring those soldiers' families over!”
“Provide them with food and lodging, and I believe those families won't refuse!”
“It’s better than just giving them money, right?”
Don't think that women will willingly accept a man's money. A mother is strong, especially one with children, and they will be even more concerned about their reputation.
It's all giving money, but earning money through one's own efforts is completely different from giving money away.
“Yeah, Lao Hu, I think Lao Bai's idea is better than just sending money!”
“Better than me buying tapes!”
Wang Pangzi also agreed.
“Get lost, you know I know!”
Rolling his eyes at Wang Pangzi who was agreeing, Lao Hu nodded.
“Alright, I'll do as you said, but we still need to split the money, we need to give some to Yingzi and the villagers!”
“Okay, let's give Yingzi 25,000, and split the rest evenly, how about that?”
Besides guiding them, Yingzi didn't help much, but she did help them deliver those bottles and jars, which was a huge contribution.
If there are more good things in the future, wouldn't they be able to make a fortune!
“Okay!”
“Come, come, you said it, hurry up and eat!”
Seeing that the two had settled things, Wang Pangzi naturally urged them to eat.
“Boss, two more orders of mutton!”
A few days later, Big Gold Tooth brought them to a four-courtyard compound and introduced it.
“Gentlemen, how do you feel?”
After taking the three of them for a tour, Big Gold Tooth asked.
“This is the best four-courtyard compound I could find, at this price, of course. I’ve also checked the surroundings, they're all empty. If you want it, I can buy it for you now!”
The bottles and jars that Yingzi helped deliver had arrived in the capital. Big Gold Tooth had taken a look, and there were two good things, seemingly Qingbai porcelain and Longquan porcelain from Jingdezhen.
Big Gold Tooth was ecstatic and rushed to the New Moon Hotel to auction them off.
This time, the harvest was beyond expectations, just the three Song Dynasty porcelains were not cheap.
Looking at Big Gold Tooth's cheerful demeanor these days, he must have paid a hefty price.
“Gold Master, tell us, how much did you make?”
“Yeah, Gold Master, you look so happy, it must be a lot!”
Lao Hu and Wang Pangzi also saw it, teasing him.
“Gentlemen, see for yourselves!”
There were no bank cards in those days, only passbooks, so Big Gold Tooth took out a passbook.
The three of them were surprised when they saw the numbers on it.
They hadn't expected the three Song Dynasty porcelains to sell for over 10 million. They were truly rich now.
“Then Gold Master, help us buy some land. We want to partner with the state to open a candy factory and a clothing factory!”
“Also, buy all the surrounding courtyards, they can be used as dormitories for the candy factory and clothing factory!”
Since they had money, they had to spend it!
“Alright, anything else, Bai Master?”
Big Gold Tooth nodded. Although he had been busy and happy these days, it was better than having nothing to do before.
Besides, he had made a lot of money, and Big Gold Tooth was naturally happy to help.
“By the way, what about that investor from last time?”
Bai Tian Yu had not forgotten about Xue Li Yang. She hadn't replied in a long time, could she have bailed?
“Err……Bai Master, I’m not trying to help you, but she doesn't plan to meet you!”
Big Gold Tooth's face fell, looking embarrassed.
“It’s understandable. She's a stranger, and it's normal for her to not want to see us!”
Bai Tian Yu nodded, not feeling any resentment.
She was a Wall Street tycoon after all, with assets probably in the hundreds of millions, how could she possibly look down on them three.
Especially when they didn't know their identities yet!
“Then why don't you tell her, Zagla-ma!"
After Big Gold Tooth left, Wang Pangzi was puzzled and asked.
“Lao Bai, what does Zagla-ma mean?”
“The origin of the Mountain Moving Taoist comes from Zagla-ma Mountain!”
“If she’s truly a descendant of the Mountain Moving Taoist, she will definitely react to this word.”
“We are so rich now? Do we need to go tomb raiding anymore?”
Looking at Lao Hu who seemed to be having second thoughts, Bai Tian Yu felt a little helpless.
Perhaps because he had experienced a lot, Lao Hu didn't like to go on adventures and hoped to settle down.
After all, he had lost a lot. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.
Why did he change later?
It was because the adventurous spirit within him had been rekindled, and he couldn't go back.
That was why Lao Hu insisted on going to the South China Sea's Abyss. He couldn't resist the pursuit of excitement.
