Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Hu Zhenhua blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile,

"Let me tell you about the third stage, whitewashing! Simply put, this process can also be divided into three steps."

"First, they disguise their wealth under a legal guise. They use illegally accumulated wealth to invest in seemingly legal businesses or participate in normal economic activities, using seemingly legal operations to conceal funds and assets of illegal origin and legitimize their wealth.

Second, participate in public welfare activities. Participate in social welfare activities in the form of charity and donations, trying to improve your social image and gain public recognition and trust.

Third, political infiltration. They enter the political arena through various channels, such as running for grassroots cadres or legislators, and use their political identities and status to distance themselves from criminal gangs and cleanse themselves of their identities.

Guo Dachong pondered for more than ten minutes and said with a smile,

"Hua Zi, you have a really sharp mind. Your summary is brilliant!"

"How refreshing! Isn't this how the four of us play? Look at me now. Wherever I go, I'm always the guest of honor of the local dignitaries!"

"Hahahaha!"

Guo Dachong laughed heartily. After he had laughed enough, he said with a relaxed look,

"Then let Baochang develop in Japan?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"A son is no longer under the control of his mother. If you don't let him go, then he won't go?"

"That's right, this bastard. After the board meeting, I'm going to Japan and I'm going to break his legs. I don't know which bastard gave him this idea."

Peanut, who had been hiding at the door, shrank his neck in fear when he heard this. He turned around and left, ready to talk to Guo Baochang and tell him the good news.

Although that guy is extremely bad, he has one good point: he is righteous.

That’s right, although Guo Baochang listened to Huasheng’s advice, he didn’t dare to leave at all. He wanted to hide and see which way the wind would blow.

In the room, Hu Zhenhua said with a smile,

"Speaking of Baochang, I suddenly remembered something. The last time Zhuge Liang was investigating pests..."

Guo Dachong interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said indifferently,

"They are just some of my closest relatives. It's better to let them suffer a little. Besides, didn't your third grandfather get in?"

When Hu Zhenhua heard the name "Third Grandpa", the corners of his mouth twitched. Who knew if that guy was a fake? If he wanted to find out, he would have to wait for decades for the development of genetic technology.

Guo Da Chong blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile,

"Hua Zi, you've married a good wife. You've managed the household affairs in an orderly manner. My relatives and siblings who are in prison have been well arranged and will not let them suffer any injustice."

Hu Zhenhua glanced in the direction of the kitchen, laughed, and said,

"Brother Guo, you're not young anymore. You can't stay single forever. How about letting Cuicui introduce you to someone?"

Guo Dachong blushed and replied shyly,

"That's not necessary. I've found someone and we'll get married as soon as her mourning period is over."

"She's a filial daughter!"

Lao Guo's face turned even redder, and he hesitated for a long time before saying,

"She's in mourning for her husband. You know her. Her name is Fu Qingyun. She's the owner of Yuqing Tower."

Hu Zhenhua shuddered when he heard this.

Lao Hu's wedding banquet was held in Yuqing Tower. At that time, Fu Qingyun wanted to kill Lao Hu, but was restrained by her child and ultimately did not take action.

Fu Qingyun's father was blackmailed and lost all his fortune during the authorities' purge of "traitors" after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

At that time, there was a routine for cleaning out traitors and running dogs: first someone reported, then they were arrested and interrogated (the result of the interrogation depended entirely on your sincerity), and finally, they were either sentenced or acquitted.

Hu Zhenhua played the role of an informer.

Yuqinglou had nearly gone bankrupt trying to rescue the old shopkeeper. At this point, it was almost over. If nothing unexpected happened, the old shopkeeper should have been released.

Unfortunately, an officer fell in love with the old shopkeeper's daughter and wanted to force her to marry him. In this, Old Hu played a big role.

No. 75 Sinan Lane is the reward given to Lao Hu by military officers and the Military Control Commission.

Hu Zhenhua was in a very heavy mood and smoked one cigarette after another.

Guo Dachong forced a smile and said comfortingly,

"Hua Zi, she has let go of her hatred. If she has anything to blame, she should blame this fucked up world."

Hu Zhenhua smiled bitterly. Although he said that, it was revenge for his father's murder after all.

After a long while, he exhaled a breath of foul air and said calmly,

"Fu Qingyun is a miserable person. Brother Guo, by marrying her, you can atone for my sins. Brother Guo, I have to thank you."

"We are brothers, so thanking you would be awkward."

Guo Dachong looked at the two guys who were still fighting and asked,

"What are they doing? They've been arguing for over ten minutes, like a bullfight."

"What else can I do..."

After Hu Zhenhua finished his concise speech, Guo Dachong stood up, walked towards the two men, put his arm around one of them, and said with a smile,

"You're already big shots, why are you still fighting over things like little kids? Just give it to me, and I guarantee you'll be convinced!"

As he said this, he patted their shoulders.

Zhao Zhi was not happy, but when he saw Lao Guo's eyes, he let go first, stepped aside, and gasped.

Yu Bing still didn't want to let go, but Lao Guo slapped him twice on the back of his hand. Yu Bing felt pain and then he stretched out his palm and handed over the lighter.

A good lighter has been deformed by being squeezed.

Gold is a relatively soft metal with good ductility and flexibility, which makes it easy to change shape when subjected to external forces.

Guo Dachong lit a cigarette and found that it was still usable, so he put it in his pocket.

Yu Bing's face turned green, and he shouted,

"Brother Guo, what you just said convinced us!"

Zhao Zhi was also unhappy and shouted,

"Brother Guo, I only let go of you out of trust. Don't do anything cheap!"

Guo Da Chong asked someone to bring a deck of cards and said with a smile,

"A junky lighter? Can't I afford it? Since neither of you is willing to give in, let's settle the dispute with our skills. Today's game is called Landlord!"

Modern playing cards gradually took shape in the Middle Ages in Europe. The earliest record of playing cards appeared in France in 1392. At that time, there were only 52 playing cards, divided into four suits: spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. Each suit had 13 cards, which is basically the same as today's playing cards (54 cards, including jokers).

After Guo Dachong finished shuffling the cards, he said,

"Neither of you is familiar with this kind of game. When you are familiar with it, we can start again."

"no problem!"

Hu Zhenhua's heart moved.

Today, these two guys were fighting over a lighter, which actually reminded Lao Hu that maybe it would be a good idea to do the luxury goods business.

The famous LV, Lamborghini and others in later generations had not yet been born.

Intercept! Must intercept!

China's traditional top-end luxury goods like Yunjin, Hetian jade, Longquan ink, and jade bracelets are impossible to buy even if you have money. Developing in these areas can not only boost the economy but also promote traditional culture.

Maybe, test the waters!

Hu Zhenhua called Zhuge Lin and asked him to arrange for someone to set up a similar company.
