Chapter 96: The Evil Stepmother in the Republic of China (Thirty-one)
"I'll follow! I'll buy one for a hundred dollars!"
As the first foreigner that Gu Qingcheng met in the provincial capital, Mr. Bayer was indeed Gu Qingcheng's number one "believer".
He saw Gu Qingcheng bought a cotton stock, and although he felt that it might be more of a "blind choice", he believed in Ms. Gu.
Moreover, last weekend, he bet on horses with Gu Qingcheng and won more than 800 yuan.
Not only did he win back all the money he had lost that year, but he also had a small surplus.
Now he was only giving out a small part of it, and Bayer felt he could still afford to lose.
Besides, what if she wins? Ms. Gu is the goddess of wealth!
"Me too! I'll buy one for a hundred dollars, too."
Seeing that his friend followed him, Felix not only trusted Gu Qingcheng but also "blindly followed" his friend, and he also took out a small portion of the small treasury he won from horse racing.
William: …
He really thought Ms. Gu was amazing.
But securities are different from horse racing.
This requires more professional knowledge, as well as control and speculation of current affairs.
The current situation is changing rapidly and accidents can easily happen.
This is not something that can be controlled by human power.
However, seeing how enthusiastic Bayer and Felix were, William couldn't resist the temptation of money.
He gritted his teeth and took out fifty dollars, "I'll follow too!"
In this way, the three foreigners followed Gu Qingcheng's footsteps and bought the cotton stock.
The next day, the three of them were surprised to find that the stock had actually gone up in value.
The increase is not small! "Ms. Gu! You are amazing!"
"Yeah, yeah! How did you do that?"
"My God, Ms. Gu, you must be a witch who has mastered the magic of turning stones into gold!"
Gu Qingcheng: ...What the hell is going on here? Even magic and witches are popping up.
She is a pure Celestial being. Even if she has supernatural powers, she is still a female god of wealth or a female bodhisattva.
“In fact, buying securities is not difficult!”
Gu Qingcheng suppressed her complaints in her heart and explained science to the foreigners with a smile.
"For example, the cotton stocks I chose this time, I saw a piece of news in an old newspaper that a flood occurred in the Han River area..."
And that region is an important area for cotton cultivation.
If there is a flood, the cotton production will decrease.
Scarcity makes things valuable.
If production decreases, prices will soar.
Therefore, cotton-related stocks will also rise.
Bayer, Felix, and William all opened their mouths wide: ...
It was just buying a stock, but he even looked at old newspapers from a few months ago.
Should they say that Ms. Gu was meticulous, or should they praise her amazing memory? But, no matter what, Ms. Gu has proven her ability with tangible achievements.
"Ms. Gu, I will definitely go to the Millennium Banquet tomorrow!"
"Haha, not only me, my friends are also very curious when they heard that I met a magical oriental lady!"
"Yes! Mr. Bach is also interested and he wants to attend the banquet!"
Mr. Bayer, William and Felix all expressed their enthusiasm.
Especially Mr. Felix, there was a hint of pride between his brows.
He knew very well that the reason why the warlord named Ma Yong tried so hard to curry favor with him was that he wanted to get to know Mr. Bach through him.
In fact, it was not just Ma Yong. Several other small warlords in the provincial capital had also done similar things.
However, Mr. Bach is the most prestigious and valuable friend of Felix, and Felix will not easily consume his "friendship" with Bach.
Although Felix and Bach could make a lot of money every time they "matched" people.
But the current situation is a seller's market.
Bach was able to get sophisticated D-type weapons, he was like God.
However, this time Mr. Felix did not consume his "friendship", but Mr. Bach took the initiative.
Bach didn't bet on horses. He was a big businessman and he preferred to play with securities.
But Felix told him, "Mr. Bach, you may not be able to imagine that a traditional Chinese lady can be so magical..."
Felix carefully recounted how Gu Qingcheng had bought up cotton stocks based on a piece of news from a few months ago.
Mr. Bach immediately became interested.
If Gu Qingcheng just relied on luck and accidentally bought a rising stock, Mr. Bach would definitely not take it seriously.
But it is obviously not the case. Instead, they made the most correct choice by collecting information and conducting rational analysis.
This is definitely a technical talent.
They are “friends” who can be known and interacted with.
Afterwards, Felix revealed the news that Gu Qingcheng was going to hold a millennium banquet.
Bach immediately said, "Okay! I want to go too!"
He wanted to meet the amazing Ms. Gu, and if possible, play some securities with her.
Be a banker, take charge of the overall situation, and earn enough wealth to rival a country in one go!
Bach was excited, and William's friends also asked to participate.
For a time, the foreigners in the provincial capital seemed to know about Gu Qingcheng’s Millennium Feast and actively wanted to join in.
Ma Yong: ...Mine! It's the party hosted by me, Ma Yong! Uh, well, it doesn't matter.
As long as he could invite those foreigners and allow him to successfully buy military equipment, it didn't matter if Gu Qingcheng stole the limelight! Ma Yong had a good attitude.
In other words, he has already regarded Gu Qingcheng as "one of his own".
"After the banquet is over, I will find a reliable person and go to Nanxin Street to propose marriage."
Although Ms. Gu's face was disfigured and she had to wear a veil every day, she was amazing.
Marry a virtuous woman.
Ma Yong urgently needs a virtuous wife who can give him great help.
Appearance and such are not important anymore.
Well, if he really likes young, modern foreign students, he can still marry a concubine.
Ma Yong thought happily.
However, when the banquet came, he saw Gu Qingcheng wearing a retro skirt.
She took off her veil and revealed her true face! "Ms. Gu?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Is this really Ms. Gu? No replacement?
Ma Yong was dumbfounded, waving a finger in the air.
After swallowing, Ma Yong looked into Gu Qingcheng's eyes carefully again.
Well, these eyes look familiar, very beautiful and lively, a look he is familiar with.
So, this stunning beauty in front of him is really Ms. Gu? Suddenly, Ma Yong hesitated.
He is so ashamed of himself!
I am dark and strong, with an ordinary appearance and I am old.
Yellow teeth, smelly mouth, farts, picking feet... a lot of bad habits.
If Gu Qingcheng was just an ordinary beauty, Ma Yong would not have such an inferiority complex.
But the other person is so beautiful that she doesn't look like a mortal. She is like a fairy sent down from heaven.
Ma Yong suddenly felt that the thoughts he had once had were so dirty! He had desecrated a peerless beauty like Ms. Gu!
In particular, Ms. Gu is not only beautiful, she also has a noble temperament and beautiful appearance.
Her every smile, every gesture revealed a dignity and grace that Ma Yong dared not disrespect.
When seeing Ms. Gu, who was so beautiful and noble, Ma Yong seemed to have returned to his poor childhood.
At that time, he was wearing tattered clothes, with an empty stomach, kneeling in front of the clay sculpture of Guanyin Bodhisattva, praying devoutly.
Time intersects, memories overlap, he is still crude and humble, and the one standing high on the lotus pedestal is no longer a sculpture, but Gu Qingcheng!
"General. I have prepared ancient armor. Would you like to try it?"
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice Ma Yong's astonishment, panic and shame. She smiled lightly, took light steps and slowly walked over.
Her manners were truly beautiful.
As she walked, the hairpins on her head and the jade pendant around her waist did not shake at all.
She seemed like an ancient beauty walking out of a painting of court ladies.
She is truly a noble lady from an aristocratic family who embodies the heritage of history and family heritage.
No wonder the ancients all admired aristocratic families, and no wonder they talked about the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the elegance of aristocratic families.
Ma Yong is not well-educated, but he feels that Gu Qingcheng is so beautiful that she is extraordinary and otherworldly, without a trace of vulgarity.
When a man sees this, he will not have any lustful thoughts of possessing her.
When women see it, they will be extremely impressed and appreciative.
This kind of beauty transcends gender. Even the most mean-spirited and greedy people would not dare to blaspheme in the slightest.
"Oh! OK!"
Gu Qingcheng's words woke Ma Yong up.
He avoided the gaze in a panic, responded muffledly, and took the exquisite armor.
"This is Ming Guang Armor, which originated from the Three Kingdoms and flourished in the Tang Dynasty..."
While Gu Qingcheng ordered the servants she had temporarily trained to put armor on Ma Yong, she smiled and introduced him to the foreigners including Bayer.
Bayer knew nothing about the Three Kingdoms.
I have heard of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are "Chinatowns" in foreign countries.
However, they still cannot figure out how many years have passed since the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing that Bayer and the others were bewildered, Gu Qingcheng gave a direct answer, "The Three Kingdoms have a history of more than 1,700 years!"
Hiss~ Bayer and others all took a deep breath.
Nearly two thousand years ago, the Chinese were able to make such sophisticated armor? What was their Europe like seventeen or eight hundred years ago? Well, there is no comparison, really no comparison.
William of the Ugly Country was even more amazed.
Seeing this, Gu Qingcheng smiled slightly: When it comes to history and heritage, there are really few who can rival China.
"I have also prepared some Mingguang armor. If you are interested, you can also try it."
Gu Qingcheng ordered people to take out several sets of urgently reproduced armor, and smiled as she let Bayer and others try them.
"Okay! Okay! I want to try it on."
Armor from more than a thousand years ago, what a wonderful thing.
A few foreigners put on armor, and they actually looked quite majestic and domineering.
Bayer and others became more and more excited.
Gu Qingcheng welcomed everyone to the table, "This is Qushui Liushang. It can be traced back to the early Western Zhou Dynasty."
The Western Zhou Dynasty is nearly three thousand years old.
In that era, the ancestors of the Chinese nation had already begun to pay attention to elegance.
Therefore, compared with these, the so-called exquisiteness of Western cuisine is nothing but a drop in the bucket!
Maids in long skirts filed in one after another. Some people struck chimes and played zithers. It seemed as if time and space were all messed up...
