"Xiuzhu, you will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. Your eldest brother collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, harmed the people, and is now sentenced to death. He deserves this reward." Xiang Nan said to Bai Xiuzhu, "Be more liberal and don't be too sad. ”
Bai Xiuzhu nodded.
At this point, besides feeling sorry for her brother, she couldn't do anything else.
…
After World War II, the economy began to recover.
Xiang Nan invested extensively across Europe, acquired high-quality companies and advanced technologies, and laid out his business empire step by step.
Because Sweden did not encounter war, although Xiang Nan's investment suffered losses, the foundation was still there.
Unlike countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy, many companies were bombed and their factories were destroyed because of the flames of war. This is the real loss to grandma's family.
The devastation after World War II and the waste of resources waiting to be renovated gave Xiang Nan the best investment opportunity.
He started buying high-quality assets like crazy.
For example, Germany’s Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Bayer, and Bass; Britain’s Shell, Unilever, and GlaxoSmithKline; France’s Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Danone Foods, and Schneider Electric; Italy’s Ferrari, Prada, Armani…
Nowadays, these companies are basically selling at cabbage prices, which just gives Xiang Nan the opportunity to invest in them.
…
In 1945, after Japan surrendered, Jin Quan thought he could return to China.
He felt that he had only a few years left to live, so he hoped to return to his roots.
As a result, before Xiang Nan could persuade him, the civil war had already begun.
Seeing this, Jin Quan completely gave up the idea of returning to China.
In 1946, Bai Xiongqi was executed by firing squad in Hujiang Tilan Prison. Bai Xiuzhu got the news half a year later and was sad for several days.
In 1947, Mrs. Leng passed away.
Leng Qingqiu cried hard for a while, but thanks to Xiang Nan's various comforts, she recovered.
In 1948, Jin Quan, who was nearly eighty years old, passed away suddenly. It was a pity that he could not see the birth of New China.
However, it is very rare for him to be able to live peacefully to the age of eighty without suffering any hardship except for the ups and downs of his career.
After Jin Quan passed away, he left an inheritance of less than 100,000 yuan and a house full of antiques. Mrs. Jin kept the antiques and distributed the savings equally among her eight children, but Xiang Nan only took a symbolic amount of one crown.
His current net worth exceeds 500 million kronor, and he really can't afford to fight for that 100,000 ocean.
To be honest, if Xiang Nan hadn't supplemented his family's income over the years, the hundreds of thousands of dollars Jin Quan brought back from China would have been spent long ago.
Among other things, prices skyrocketed during World War II. If it weren't for the supplies that Xiang Nan had hoarded, it would be difficult for the Jin family to eat enough. How could they still have meat to eat and coffee to drink.
…
Not two years after Jin Quan died, Mrs. Jin also passed away.
After Mrs. Jin's death, only the second concubine and the third concubine were left in the Jin family mansion.
In the play, the third aunt made a fuss about dividing the family property after Jin Quan's death, and finally swept away all the property.
But now that the third aunt is in her forties, she doesn’t want to bother with it at all.
And she could see that if she stayed in the Jin family, with Xiang Nan's character, she would definitely be able to live a good life, which would be much better than if she married someone else.
So she didn't bother and chose to stay at Jin's house.
After Xiang Nan discussed with everyone, he sold the Jin family mansion. The money from the sale was left to the second and third aunts for their old age.
Then the third aunt moved to the small island of Oresta and lived with Bai Xiuzhu, Leng Qingqiu, Xiao Lian and others. As for the second aunt, she moved to live with Jin Meili.
As for those antiques, Xiang Nan bought them for one million kronor, and from the money he got, he gave two hundred thousand to the second concubine and the third concubine respectively. As for the eight sisters, each received 100,000 crowns.
This is fair.
…
Five years later, the second aunt passed away peacefully.
Xiang Nan buried her with Jin Quan and Mrs. Jin, and paid tribute at all times.
At this time, due to the implementation of the Marshall Plan, the European economy took off. Xiang Nan's previous investments have yielded extremely generous returns, making him not only the richest man in Sweden, but also among the best in Europe.
However, because Xiang Nan has always invested in the name of the company and he operates remotely behind the scenes, his origins are not well known. This is also to avoid the anti-Chinese problem during the Cold War.
But Xiang Nan is still very famous in European countries, but it is because he wrote "The Lord of the Rings".
This book began to be serialized in 2009 and was completed just after World War II.
Because the story is twists and turns, fascinating, and it is a story about a brave man fighting the devil, it gives readers courage in an era of war.
Therefore, this popular book was translated into English, German, French, Spanish and other languages after the war, and was widely distributed around the world.
Not only did Xiang Nan earn millions in royalties, but he also won the love of book fans all over the world and gained considerable fame.
…
In the next twenty years, Xiang Nan's investment continued to expand, and his wealth accumulation also increased.
To this end, he set up a trust fund for his family.
In this way, all members of the Jin family can receive a considerable amount of living expenses when they reach adulthood. Even if it's not enough to live a life of debauchery and extravagance, it still exceeds the income of high-end white-collar workers.
Xiang Nan hopes that in this way, they will not have to worry about daily necessities and can better do what they want to do and live the life they want to live, so that they can better enjoy life.
But just when everything was perfect, Leng Qingqiu's life had come to an end.
It turned out that her health was not very good to begin with. Especially if the stomach is weak, I dare not eat too much cold or cold food. Although Xiang Nan helped her nurse, she was born with a flaw.
Moreover, manpower is sometimes scarce, and even Xiang Nan cannot guarantee 100% cure for some diseases.
Therefore, in 1975, Leng Qingqiu unfortunately fell ill and died suddenly.
When she was dying, she held Xiang Nan's hand tightly and was very reluctant to part with her. However, she was already dying and could no longer speak.
"Don't worry, go with peace of mind. I will still come to find you in the next life." Xiang Nan knew what she was thinking and whispered into her ear.
Leng Qingqiu showed a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth, and then let go of Xiang Nan's hand.
…
A moment later, the long-awaited notification sounded in Xiang Nan's ears.
"Jin Yanxi is very grateful to the host for helping him realize his wish, allowing him to grow old with Leng Qingqiu. At the same time, he is very grateful to the host for his contribution to his family."
"The mission is completed, the host will return soon!"
Immediately, the light door flashed again. The strong suction coming from the door sucked Xiang Nan's soul out of Jin Yanxi's body and into the light door.
Immediately afterwards, a series of pictures flashed in front of Xiang Nan's eyes, all of which were things he had done in the world of "Golden Fen Family" and people he met.
There are pictures of him publishing poems in newspapers, pictures of him and Bai Xiuzhu getting married, pictures of him teaching at Peking University, pictures of him immigrating to Sweden with his family, pictures of him investing everywhere during the Great Depression, pictures of him Pictures of protecting the family through World War II...
All in all, they are all good memories.
