Chapter 2379: Getting Rich
Their wedding date is set for the end of the year, and Xiao Chongyang doesn't have much time to prepare.
In order to make himself rich quickly, he thought about it and considered many ways.
But if the risk is small, the money comes too slowly. If you want to make money quickly, you have to take risks.
As the saying goes, the brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation.
He encouraged himself over and over again in his mind, and finally decided to take the risk.
He contacted an older brother he had met while traveling.
The eldest brother joined them halfway. He was a strong man in his forties with a beard and a lot of white in his eyes. When he looked at people, it made people break out in cold sweat.
At that time, the eldest brother wanted to go to the Gobi Desert with them.
But on the way, Xiao Chongyang discovered that his eldest brother's leg was injured. It seemed that it had only been bandaged simply and the wound was not cleaned, so it had already festered.
Even in such a situation, they still wanted to travel. Xiao Chongyang was a little confused.
But everyone has his own pursuits. He didn't ask too many questions, but because he was a doctor, he knew that the wound was very troublesome as soon as he saw it, so he suggested that the big brother go to the hospital to treat the wound again. Otherwise, if he continued like this, he would have to have his limbs amputated at best, and even die at worst.
Seeing that he knew a lot, the eldest brother asked him if he was a doctor, and he said yes.
The eldest brother asked him if he could help. He happened to have some first aid medicine with him, so he said he could try.
So when they set up camp that night, the eldest brother invited him into the tent for treatment.
During the treatment, he found that the elder brother's leg injury was not an ordinary wound. After careful treatment, he finally removed a piece of shrapnel from the festering wound.
Then he also saw the hunting rifle that the elder brother had hidden under the quilt.
The two looked at each other for two seconds, Xiao Chongyang lowered his head in silence and continued to treat the wound.
After bandaging the wound, the elder brother asked him, "Little brother, how do you think I got this leg injury?"
Xiao Chongyang lowered his head and said, "I fell and got hurt."
The eldest brother nodded with satisfaction and looked at his luggage bag again, "So what do you think this is?"
"Brother, did you buy it for your child to play with?"
The eldest brother laughed and said, "That's right. Every time we travel, we always have to bring back some souvenirs. If we go back empty-handed, the kids at home will be sad."
Xiao Chongyang nodded and said that was correct.
After leaving the tent, Xiao Chongyang broke out in a cold sweat.
The eldest brother did not go to the Gobi Desert in the end. After walking with his friends for a while, they arrived at a small town and were picked up by his friends.
The person who came to pick him up was a young man. He put a high-end cashmere coat on the man, lowered his head, and trotted to help open the car door.
Before getting into the car, the eldest brother looked back at Xiao Chongyang, nodded at him, and then got into the car that was worth who knows whether hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars and left.
Xiao Chongyang took out the gold watch from his pocket and looked at it.
That was given to him by his eldest brother the night before as a thank you for helping him treat his leg injury.
In addition to the big gold watch, the eldest brother also left him a phone number, saying that he felt he was very reliable and hoped to travel with him in the future. He would feel more at ease having a doctor in the team. The last time a brother went out with him, he had a small infection on his hand and it was not treated in time. In the end, half of his arm was necrotic and had to be amputated.
Xiao Chongyang understood that the other party was inviting him.
As for what he was invited to do, he knew it very well.
Xiao Chongyang traveled frequently, and based on his observations along the way, he had already determined that the man was a poacher.
Later, he also learned the reason for the man's leg injury. He was shot and injured during a confrontation with a forest ranger, and then sneaked into the travel team where Xiao Chongyang was.
In short, when he was eager to make money, the first person he thought of was his elder brother.
He took the initiative to contact the man.
He first followed the man's team to poach, and after one trip, he was able to buy Wanqing a diamond ring worthy of being given as a gift.
But for him, this was not enough.
And he couldn't explain to Wanqing the source of his illegal income.
In fact, the eldest brother was also facing the same problem, so Xiao Chongyang helped him come up with a solution, which solved the problem of the unknown source of money for both of them.
Taking advantage of the opacity of high-priced art transactions, he asked the eldest brother to buy Xiao Chongyang's photographs at prices ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 yuan. Then, through a series of cross-border operations and hype, he sent these purchased works to auction, and then let different subordinates buy these works at sky-high prices.
In this way, the dirty money became clean through auction and returned to their own hands.
During this process, Xiao Chongyang also sold his works, gaining both fame and fortune with almost no risk.
In just two months, he no longer needed to go to work.
His sudden wealth deceived everyone, including the clever Wanqing.
No matter how smart Wanqing was, she could never have imagined who he knew and what he did.
Of course, it may also be because I like him and admire him, so I don’t have too many doubts.
Wanqing thought he had finally realized his dream of becoming a photographer and was happy for him.
He used the full amount to buy a house in an upscale community as their future wedding house. He didn't want others to say that he was a gigolo, so no matter how much money Wanqing had, he wanted to use the money he earned to marry her and give her a good life.
He did it.
Everything was developing in the direction he expected. He felt that he was in control of everything, and that feeling was great.
But reality gave him a bucket of cold water.
On Wanqing's birthday, her good friend held a birthday party for her, and Xiao Chongyang also went.
At that lavish birthday party, Xiao Chongyang felt deeply frustrated.
It turns out that you can't enter Wanqing's world just by wearing an expensive suit and having some money.
In that world, there were indeed playboys whom he despised, who had nothing but money.
But there are also many talented people who have received quality education since childhood, graduated from prestigious universities, are well-educated and talented, and are even very hardworking and motivated.
Among them was a doctor of medicine whose ideal was to engage in medical research, but his family opposed it and set a rule for him: if he failed to pass the doctoral exam, he would return home to inherit the family business and give up medicine to go into business.
Only then did Xiao Chongyang realize that the joke that if you don't work hard you will have to go home and inherit billions of dollars in assets is real.
He thought back to his own growth path. He had never had a retreat, let alone any ideals.
If you don't work hard, you will end up dead.
He also noticed that there was a young master who liked Wanqing very much. Even though he knew that Wanqing was already engaged to him, that guy did not give up and always stared at Wanqing in a trance.
Wanqing probably didn't know that the man liked her, and she maintained normal communication with the young master. They actually had a lot of common topics.
Xiao Chongyang silently compared himself with that person in his mind, but unfortunately, he could not see where his advantages lay.
That day, Wanqing received many birthday gifts, including luxury cars and mansions, rare jewelry and limited edition handbags. There were also some things that had nothing to do with money. Her painter friend sent her a new work, and her pianist friend performed for her live.
Xiao Chongyang held the diamond necklace in his hand and ultimately did not let it go.
After the birthday party, Xiao Chongyang fell into deep anxiety.
