Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Gu Jiu and Lin Shu came down from the garment factory's office building and saw two tall, long-legged, young and beautiful boys and girls from afar.

The girl was holding a candied haws that she was almost done with, half closing her eyes and looking very enjoyable, as if the candied haws was extremely delicious.

"Why can't you change your habit of eating sweets since you were a child? Be careful that your teeth will get decayed."

Lin Shu walked up to Gu Qi and reached out to gently pinch her creamy cheek.

"Mom~~"

Gu Jiu looked sideways at his daughter's coquettish voice. He unlocked the car door, put the briefcase in his hand into the back seat, and asked, "Why didn't you two go home directly after school? Did you come to the factory to find us because of something?"

Hearing this, Lin Shu looked at the two children.

Gu Qi put the last candied haws into her mouth and pointed at Gu Chen: "I was originally planning to go home first, but when I left the school gate, I was blocked by my brother's bad peach blossom. In order to get rid of her, my brother found an excuse to come to you."

"Mom, Dad, today is my brother's and my birthday. Do you have any gifts for us?"

Speaking of which, what Gu Qi cares most about is the birthday gifts prepared by his parents.

Gu Jiu and Lin Shu heard that in order to get rid of the female classmate, they didn't dwell on the matter too much.

"We'll find out about the gifts when we get home. If we take them out now, there won't be any surprises." Lin Shu turned around and asked the two children, "You guys leave your bikes at the factory and come back with us?"

Tomorrow is Sunday, so I don’t have to go to school and I can leave my bike at the factory.

Gu Qi happily opened the back door and got in first. Gu Chen parked the two bicycles and was the last one to get in.

"Mom, you adults know how to enjoy life. It's much more comfortable to go to get off work in a car than riding a bicycle. You won't be blown by the wind or get wet by the rain."

While driving, Gu Jiu glanced at his daughter through the rearview mirror and teased, "From what you said, you want to drive to school?"

Gu Qi was amused when he heard this, "Haha... Just listen to this, even if you give me a car, I don't have a driver's license."

Lin Shu: "After the Chinese New Year, you will be eighteen years old. You can sign up to take the driver's license test during the summer vacation."

Gu Qi asked curiously: "If we pass the test, are you going to give us a car?"

Gu Jiu laughed and scolded: "You are dreaming. Learning skills is your own ability. We pay for you to learn. It's good enough. You still want me and your mother to give you a car. After you graduate, you can earn money to buy a car. If you have money, you can drive a luxury car. If you don't have money, you can ride a bicycle."

Gu Qi's face fell when he heard this: "Dad, you are so cruel. You earn so much money but you don't give it to me, your daughter, but plan to put it under the bed as a mattress?"

Gu Jiu couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Your idea is good. Let's try it next time and see if you can sleep better."

Lin Shu pursed her lips and smiled as she said to Gu Qi, "Girl, you should learn from your brother. He was lazy at school, but his grades never dropped. He also started a business in his spare time. Now he is much richer than me."

"How can I compare with my brother? He can do both study and work. I am trying my best to catch up with his study progress. If I lose focus to start a business, I will not live anymore!"

When it comes to studying, Gu Qi is full of resentment. From childhood to adulthood, her brother can easily master studies, while she has to work several times harder to barely catch up with his learning progress.

Gu Chen, who had been sitting in the back seat without saying a word, felt a little sorry for his sister when he thought of her unyielding spirit of learning since she was little.

He was reborn. In his previous life, he went to college and studied for a master's degree. He had restrained himself in front of Gu Qi. In order to accompany her to school, he had been suppressing himself and did not skip a grade.

Otherwise it would be a bigger blow to Gu Qi.

Gu Chen raised his hand and rubbed her head: "When you graduate, I will give you a supercar."

I didn’t say what type of car it was because even if I told you, Gu Qi wouldn’t understand.

"Really?" Gu Qi was excited.

"Really? I can still lie to you."

Gu Chen has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. Not to mention the stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the annual output value of the companies he founded in China is over 10 million.

Next, with the development of the Internet, Gu Chen also wants to make his own way on the Internet.

However, the Internet still needs to be postponed. Now is the era of pagers. Let's wait a few more years.

After listening to his son and daughter's words, Gu Jiu turned to Lin Shu and asked, "From what Dabao said, our car worth two or three hundred thousand is not good enough. Shushu, do you think we should buy a new car?"

Lin Shu glanced at him speechlessly: "As long as you have money, you can change it as you want."

Gu Jiu: “…”

He couldn't admit that he had any private money.

When she got home and entered the stairwell on the first floor, Gu Qi found two women's motorcycles parked in the stairwell, one pink and one blue.

A helmet of the same color is also hung on each motorcycle.

"Wow~ Mom, Dad, this motorcycle is the birthday gift you gave us?"

Gu Jiu put the car keys on the shoe cabinet, put on slippers, and said with a smile: "It is your birthday present, but it is not a motorcycle, it is an electric car. You are still students, and the speed of the motorcycle is too fast, it is not suitable for you to ride."

"Electric car?" Gu Qi looked at Gu Jiu suspiciously.

Gu Chen was slightly surprised and took a look at the electric car with a very beautiful appearance. It was no different from the electric bicycles that were popular in later generations.

"Yes, electric cars are not as complicated to operate as motorcycles. There is only an accelerator and a brake. It is very simple. After dinner, I will show you how to operate them."

Gu Jiuxian asked the two children to stop hanging around the electric bike and go upstairs to eat first.

"I like this gift very much, thank you, Mom and Dad."

Looking at their daughter running upstairs excitedly, Lin Shu and the father and son smiled at each other and said, "As long as she likes the birthday gift, it's good."

Their house is a bit far from the school, and it is really hard for the children to ride bicycles to and from school every day. Otherwise, the couple would not have thought of giving their children electric bikes.

When I got home, the nanny, Sister Chen, had already prepared dinner.

The dinner was sumptuous.

The family washed their hands and sat down.

"Dad, is this electric car produced by your factory?" Gu Chen asked.

Gu Jiu was not surprised that Gu Chen could guess it, as this child has been smart since he was young.

"Yes, the battery factory produced a new type of battery and thought about using it in transportation. It is a bit difficult to use it in cars, but it does not require much technical content to use it in electric bicycles."

Gu Jiu also thought about the popularity of motorcycles in the country, so he had an idea and thought about modifying the motorcycle and changing the power unit to batteries.

Of course, this idea was the result of Lin Shu's guidance.

"Compared with motorcycles, electric cars are cheaper, do not require refueling, and convert electrical energy into mechanical kinetic energy, which is more cost-effective than motorcycles. The higher authorities are very supportive. In the past two months, our factory has been vigorously producing them, and the provincial capital has placed an order for 2,000 vehicles."

Gu Chen asked: "What about the markets in other provinces?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "The factory has already sent a salesperson there. I believe good news will come in the near future."
