Chapter 210: Drawing grand plans for great undertakings
"Regroup?"
Gu Qing murmured, yearning in her heart, but how easy is it?
"My dear sister, not everyone in this world is as sincere as you..."
The original Linhai Pavilion was owned by Qiao Sect, and the other party was anxious to get away. Even so, she had to use up her life savings to barely hold on.
Later, she fled for her life and suffered setbacks along the way. Her former friends became hateful, and those who had been rescued by her in the past turned against her overnight. She became poorer and poorer, and even her brothers and sisters’ belongings were almost gone. In the end, she put all her remaining wealth on the boat. She had thought that she could sell the boat and start a new life after she settled down in Jinling, but unexpectedly...
Gu Qing couldn't hide the bitterness in his eyes, and he felt disheartened. "How hateful this world is, how hateful this world is!"
Li Yaoguang also sighed, "Sister Gu, don't be discouraged. It's not necessary to be like this. It really isn't necessary to be like this. Listen to me, nothing is difficult in this world. As long as people are alive, there is infinite hope. We have been through such difficulties, so what is this setback? Think about the brothers and sisters in Linhai Pavilion who believe in you and protect you. Even for them, sister must have the confidence to regroup."
"For all the brothers and sisters in Linhai Pavilion? To regroup? I, I have nothing, do I still have a chance?"
"Yes, there must be!" Li Yaoguang nodded heavily, "Sister Gu, I just wanted to tell you, I have a great idea, even if you don't come to find me, I actually want to find you." Of course, this is not true but it is not a lie either.
Although she was trying to comfort the patient, she suddenly remembered that Zhou Gai Shi had warned and threatened her, and the thoughts in her mind when she was comforting the patient just now suddenly came to a head.
When Gu Qing heard that Li Yaoguang was looking for her, she perked up and struggled to get up, asking anxiously, "Sister, why are you looking for me? If I can do it, I..."
"Sister Gu, don't get excited. Just lie down and listen to me. This is what happened..."
Li Yaoguang did not hide anything and immediately told how he had transformed himself into Wuyouzi and made a living as a storyteller in restaurants and teahouses, but had recently been embarrased by a villain and his livelihood had been cut off.
Not only that, she even said that Linhai Pavilion was in trouble, and she proposed cooperation between the two parties, with her providing the funds and Gu Qing providing the manpower, to reopen Linhai Pavilion.
Gu Qing was stunned to hear that the sister of his benefactor was the legendary Wuyouzi.
Hearing that she was being bullied again, Gu Qing was furious. She remembered the guy named Zhou Gai Shi in her heart. No matter what young master he was, if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely avenge her benefactor sister.
Then he heard his sister say that she wanted to cooperate with him to reopen Linhai Pavilion, and also wanted to exchange the book of The Legend of the Condor Heroes in Linhai Pavilion and perform it in the form of a stage play. Gu Qing was so shocked that he was speechless, but the person in front of him was still talking.
"Sister Gu, really, I think the West Lake is huge and the scenery is beautiful. It won't cost much to buy a big boat and decorate it. By then, you have people and I have a script. We can perform well and make a name for ourselves. When we get into the high-end game, we can limit the number of people to board the boat. At the same time, we can cooperate with merchants to hold gimmick auctions, and then we can make money by renting out the boat space."
Li Yaoguang's words made perfect sense, and Gu Qing became more and more fascinated as he listened, feeling that such a beautiful scene was right before his eyes.
"Sister Yaoguang is so talented that she actually has such a good idea. It's brilliant."
Li Yaoguang was being played and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Hehe, actually I am just repeating what others have said, it's just some superficial ideas, the details still need you, sister Gu, and the brothers and sisters of Linhai Pavilion to work hard."
"Don't worry about that. Everyone in Linhai Pavilion, regardless of gender, is able to endure hardships. It's just that everything Sister Yaoguang said is very good. I'm just afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
Gu Qing smiled bitterly, "It's hard to survive in this chaotic world. With your great talent and ambition, my sister will definitely become big and unique. But once you become big and famous, you can't guarantee that you won't be remembered by others." "I've thought about this a long time ago. We are weak, and we are afraid that the plate is too big and will be taken away by others. So we can get a few strong backers, like my eldest brother Ji Mo of Qijitang, Lu Fang, and Shen Yue. They are all powerful and capable, can't they all be our backers?"
Every time Li Yaoguang mentioned a person, Gu Qing's eyes lit up a little, but in the end, she still hesitated, "It's good to lean on a big tree. Although I don't know who Lu Fang is, but with Master Ji and General Shen, will they agree to invest?"
"Well, that's a problem. We can't just guess whether it will happen. So, I'll find a chance to ask them later. Besides, we don't want them to invest. We'll give them shares. With the popularity of my books, this business is a sure win, and they won't lose money either. Why not participate if they can get money for free?"
When she has money, she can use it to help orphans who are displaced, and make up for her desire to do something.
When Shen Yue led his troops to fight, what he needed was money and military pay. The more the better, after all, wars were fought for money and food.
As for Ji Mo, although he is not short of money, there is probably no one in this world who would dislike having too much silver, right?
Lu Fang is even less afraid. Given his obsession with The Legend of the Condor Heroes, if I tell him that as long as he holds shares and becomes the owner, he can listen to, no, read the stories at any time in the future. There is also a sequel, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and various new books. Are you still afraid that he won't be fooled? Ahem, bah, bah, not join?
Li Yaoguang talked freely and was relieved to see Gu Qing regain his fighting spirit.
As soon as Yanzhi and Lu Qing arrived, Li Yaoguang left first, ready to strike while the iron was hot and implement the plan they had just made.
After all, Kyoto is expensive, and Yuhang in the troubled times is only more expensive than Kyoto in the past. The dozens of people in Linhai Pavilion will be uneasy if they don’t settle down completely as soon as possible. It is natural that the reopening of Linhai Pavilion should be done as soon as possible.
Before leaving Jishidiang, she found Grandpa Wu and wanted to ask him if he could contact Ji Mo. However, the old man said that he couldn't contact his junior brother, but he could contact Uncle Dong.
Li Yaoguang hurried to the counter and asked the pharmacist for paper and pen, and quickly wrote two letters, one of which was wrapped in another letter with Uncle Dong's name on it, and asked my grandfather to mail it to Uncle Dong, and then to ask Uncle Dong to contact Ji Mo to help him pass it on.
Watching Grandpa Wu personally releasing the carrier pigeon, and seeing the fat pigeon swaying and flying away with a letter that was heavier than usual, Li Yaoguang felt guilty for a moment and prayed in his heart that the letter would reach someone's hands.
However, he didn't know that someone had been talked about too much by his subordinates, and he was also afraid that Li Yaoguang would suddenly send a message and couldn't find him. So this time he kept in touch with Uncle Dong honestly. He was no longer the person who would go out and lose contact and could not be found in the past.
A few days later, Ji Mo, who had just successfully rescued someone and was heading to Shu Road, received a message from a carrier pigeon. Upon seeing the content, his tense face immediately broke into a joyful smile that his companions had never seen before.
"Cooperate with Linhai Pavilion? And give me shares? Never mind. How can I take advantage of my sister as a big brother? Come on, bring me some writing brush and ink."
Ji Mo took the pen and ink handed to him by his subordinate, and wrote on the back of the subordinate who was lying down with a smile.
Meanwhile, Li Yaoguang personally went to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion to find Lu Er and told him his plan. Lu Er immediately agreed. Not only did he agree, but he also felt guilty. This guy didn't want any dry shares, but was a fool and insisted on paying money to invest.
Li Yaoguang refused, but this guy kept begging her, and finally put forward an offer that she could not refuse - a villa with a large area on the West Lake that could accommodate barges to seduce her.
What else is there to say? You can give up the money, but you can still have this villa.
Since this guy is so considerate, I'll give him more shares.
Li Yaoguang didn't know that there were other people who came to deliver money. After receiving the letter from his master, Uncle Dong didn't dare to delay. He brought ten thousand taels of silver notes and personally escorted them to Yuhang.
