Chapter 35 Do you want to watch a movie? Tennessee is located in the east of America...
Tennessee is located in southeastern America, the center of country music.
Philip rode his bicycle to a road. The road was very long and there were only a few houses nearby.
This is the typical configuration of rural America, with vast land and sparse population. Only in some large cities does the population appear dense.
"Hey man, are you here to look for treasure too?" A burly black man greeted Philip enthusiastically.
"The same to you?"
"Sure man, that's tempting isn't it?"
Philip saw a shabby old car parked next to the other person. His family also had a car, but it belonged to his father. His father never let him drive on the road, so his only means of transportation was the bicycle.
It looked like the other party had been digging for a while, with deep pits all around him, and was now digging the next one.
Those deep pits are distributed irregularly. I don’t know how the other party determines where to dig next.
Philip started digging where he had stopped, looking for treasure, trusting his intuition and luck.
Unfortunately, most of the time, most people's intuition and luck are average. The two dug for two or three hours on and off, but didn't dig up anything.
As the passion faded, the two began to slack off, chatting and digging.
The black man's name was Klute, and he was from Florida. He came over during the day and only started digging at night.
"I came from Cuba with my family last year, but now we have no money. I stole this car. I must get this treasure, otherwise my family will starve to death."
Hearing him say this, Philip's heart skipped a beat. He looked around, but there was no one around. If he was attacked at this moment, he would be doomed. He shouldn't have come out alone at this time.
"Hey man, who do you take me for? You look like a poor fellow."
Haha, Philip felt insulted. If he was able to defeat the enemy, he would definitely fight to the death.
The day dawned very early, and at dawn, both of them still found nothing. Philip planned to dig three more times before going home, as his parents might be looking for him at this time.
People who had woken up nearby noticed them, strolled over and asked them what they were doing. When they heard that they were digging for treasure, they joined in.
"We haven't been able to find the treasure. Could it be that... the treasure is under the road?" Krut looked at the road with suspicion.
Then, as everyone looked on in shock, Krut swung his pickaxe toward the road.
This seemed to be a signal. With Krut leading the way, Fili also left his last three pits for the road.
The nearby residents quickly called the police and told them that someone was damaging the road.
"A damn stowaway is destroying our country!"
The police came, as did reporters, and Klute was held at gunpoint and forced to stop digging.
Philip was advised by the police in a gentle tone that he was still young and did not understand the crime of damaging the road.
"I don't know, he did it first." Fili said while he was still digging.
When the pickaxe was brought down, there was a dull metallic collision sound, different from the previous one.
The police asked him to put down the pickaxe, and he obeyed, but then started digging frantically with his hands.
"Don't move! Don't move!" the police shouted frantically.
"It's gold coins, it's gold coins!" Philip saw a corner of the broken jar and pulled it out with all his strength.
There was a big hole in the middle of the jar caused by the pickaxe, and the gold coins inside could be clearly seen.
"Oh my God! Quick! Give the camera to this guy!" The reporter immediately caught the highlight and rushed over to grab this big news despite the police's dissuasion.
"f**k, that should be mine!" When Krut saw the gold coins, he twisted wildly on the police car.
Soon, a TV station in Tennessee broadcast the news, and Philip excitedly recounted the causes and consequences of his discovery of the gold coins on TV.
The treasure found by watching "18 Again", Philip himself just turned 18 this year~
"We may wonder if he is Connor Li."
It was such a coincidence that both Ian and Andre suspected that the other party had arranged this for the purpose of marketing "18 Again".
"18 Again" became a hit, and so did Philip. A film and television company quickly caught on to the trend and prepared to film "18 Again" with Philip as the protagonist.
After the release of "Billionaire", the response was very enthusiastic. Not only did the fame of the male and female protagonists rise to a new level, but the clothes they wore also became popular items of the season.
Because they are rich, the male and female protagonists wear a new set of clothes every time they appear in the movie, matched with different jewelry accessories. Being rich, it's that simple.
The popularity of billionaires has also provided film and television companies, clothing companies, and jewelry companies with a new track.
Previously, many of the popular films on the big screen were interstellar science fiction films. It is difficult for such films to highlight the advantages of costumes. Audiences would not choose to wear various science fiction costumes on a regular basis, and would only wear them on special days, such as Halloween.
Movies like Billions are different. They seem to be tailor-made commercial films. Not only are these things not out of place in the movie, they also add to the appeal.
The emergence of "Back to 18" gave them hope of becoming popular again.
"Daohua, tell me, should I become a self-employed person?"
In the evening, after watching TV, Ouyang Yuan returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking to himself.
"Why do you suddenly think so?"
Ouyang Yuan turned over and said, "Do you still remember that there was a female textile factory worker named Chen Li in the staff building?"
"Remember." She was still one of the few people in the staff building who had a good relationship with her.
"She secretly made skirts some time ago and asked her mother to sell them on the street stalls, earning a lot of money. Later, the factory found out that she was doing this as a side job, so they fired her, so she just did this full-time.
Now she has her own shop, where she and her mother make skirts and sell them every day. I heard that she is planning to go to the south to study. "
"She?" Li Daohua really didn't expect this. In her impression, Chen Li was a shy person and had been scolded to tears by Huang Laidi before.
"Yes, it was her. People in the staff building also found it incredible."
Li Daohua asked in confusion: "What happened? Were you also expelled from the library?"
Otherwise, why would you suddenly bring this up?
"No... I just think that this librarian position is pretty boring. You know, our job doesn't require any technical skills, and there's not much room for advancement. You can see the end of it at a glance."
These are the knowledge I have learned recently from Li Daohua. I want to change jobs, and also because of reading Li Daohua's novels.
"Would it be better if I became self-employed?"
"It's hard to say. I feel like your personality is not suitable for being a self-employed person." Li Daohua put his hands next to his face to support his head.
Hearing that she didn't refuse, Ouyang Yuan was very satisfied and continued, "I can take a leave to try it first. If it doesn't work, I can continue to be a librarian. Besides, it's almost summer vacation now, so I can just take a leave until the end of summer vacation."
Ah, Li Daohua forgot that Ouyang Yuan has a regular job. Even if he really asked for leave, he cannot be fired at will.
"Then you go and try it." Li Daohua also wanted to see if he could do it.
"What are you going to do? You don't seem to know anything."
"I thought, am I not learning to drive? I know a lot of drivers, and I heard from them that they can make a lot of money by doing private work, so I can also do private work."
"Have you ever seen what the people who do private work look like? For someone like you, if you travel long distances, you may not even be able to return home, let alone deliver the goods."
In this day and age, driving long distances is a very dangerous thing. Gas thieves are the kindest people, but if you encounter robbers, people may die.
The drivers are all strong and sturdy, and so are the ones who suppress the vehicles. They always have weapons in their cars and are ready to use them when something happens.
"Then we have your cousins. My brother can do it a bit, too. We can form a team together."
Li Daohua's cousins, Li Fengshou and Li Fenghuo, are all really tall.
Li Daohua is 1.6 meters tall, and Li Fengshou and the others are all around 178 cm tall. Even though they are less than 180 cm tall, in this era, 178 cm tall is still a standout.
They have been exercising with Li Zhuzi and his friends since they were young. Li Daohua has been in good health since she was young, which is also due to their exercise.
In addition, Li Fengshou and Li Fenghuo usually stay at home and help with farm work, so they have plenty of energy.
"You haven't been planning on them for a long time, have you?"
"No, I just thought of it recently. The drivers also told me about the problem you mentioned. They told me to find someone who knows me well. It's better to not be good enough than to just find someone casually."
It seemed that he had really thought about it carefully. Li Daohua nodded and said, "You can run it by yourself at the beginning. When you are familiar with it, you can hire people to run it for you. You will be responsible for grasping the source of goods and opening a logistics company."
You can’t make a fortune by working for others all the time, you should be your own boss.
"You think it's possible, too." Ouyang Yuan was very happy, thinking that he had hit the point this time.
"Then you can ask for leave and go back. When you come back, help me with something before you leave."
"What's up?"
“Buy a house.”
Li Daohua felt that she had been cheated by herself. As more and more people accepted the setting of her previous work "A Square Roof", more and more people bought houses.
There are also some bad guys lurking around her.
Sometimes, it is a house that they had liked before, but after knowing that the buyer is her, they temporarily raise the price to make sure that she will buy the house.
Some of them were houses that she liked and was ready to buy, but were snatched away by someone else.
She didn't plan to buy many, she just planned to buy one or two more, and then buy a house somewhere else and rent it out in the future, so that she would have money for her retirement.
She wanted Li Fengshou and others to step forward to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
At the end of June, Ouyang Yuan set out on the journey back to Henan Province, but Li Daohua did not go. Riding on a green-skinned train in summer is a life-threatening thing.
"Would you like to watch a movie?" Li Sanzhu was walking home with a basket of vegetables, fanning himself with a large palm-leaf fan, when his keen ears suddenly heard these words.
"There's also the newest billionaire, fresh from the south."
