Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
"And then there's online business. Recently, I bought a lot of things on something called Alibaba Mama. They're incredibly cheap and super fast. For things in Shanghai, I just click on them, place an order, enter my address, and they deliver them to my doorstep in five days. You can buy things from all over China from the comfort of your home. They sell everything there."
Everyone here is pretty naive. Online transactions, isn't there no risk involved? What's going on...?
Shen Kuo started talking and began explaining e-commerce to everyone...
Shen Fang stroked his chin. Ali had already started. Just as Shen Fang was lost in thought, Second Master interrupted Shen Fang's thoughts.
Shen Fang looked up and saw that it was Second Master.
"Second Master, what is it?"
Second Master rubbed his hands together and looked at Chen Fang somewhat embarrassedly.
"Xiao Fang, could you lend me some money?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fang was a little stunned. Borrow money? If the village was to talk about wealth, Second Uncle's family was definitely one of the wealthiest. Before he started Liangpin Shop, Second Uncle's family was one of the richest households in the village, a family with tens of thousands of yuan in savings. Over the years, they'd run restaurants and hotels, and also had shares in Liangpin Shop; their life was very prosperous. How could they possibly be short of money?
The uncle, standing to the side, spoke up: "Shen Lao Er, you should just let your unfilial son die. You're still thinking about saving him now? He's already squandered all your family's wealth. This time it's 5 million! How are you going to save him? That good-for-nothing should just die!"
Normally, Second Master would definitely argue with Uncle, but today he surprisingly didn't. Instead, he looked pitiful and melancholy.
“Jianguo, I only have this one son. No matter how hateful or despicable he is, can I just stand by and watch him be hacked to death by debt collectors?”
Shen Fang lit a cigarette: "What exactly happened?"
The uncle immediately brought out the tray. It turned out that Shen Jin had become addicted to gambling recently. To be precise, Shen Jin was already proficient in all sorts of vices, including drinking, gambling, and womanizing. However, this time he went too far. He went to Macau and lost everything, losing nearly 5 million. Although the second uncle was rich, even if he sold everything he owned, it would be difficult for him to come up with 5 million all at once.
"Xiao Fang, we are still close relatives, Xiao Jin, you should still call him uncle. You must save him this time no matter what."
Shen Fang glanced at his father. To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. He hadn't been home often in recent years, and he relied on his father's advice. If his father wanted to take care of it, he could only manage 5 million yuan, which was nothing to him.
Shen Tianliang looked like the Second Master.
"Second Master, if Xiao Jin continues like this, can you save him a second time after you've saved him once? Or a third time?"
Second Master sighed: "He is still my son after all."
Shen Tianliang stopped speaking.
"Please help me with this matter concerning our son."
Shen Fang nodded: "Okay."
