Chapter 128 – Missing the Opportunity
Gu Yu has been troubled lately.
For some reason, while he was doing fine at home, silver literally dropped from the sky.
Heaven knows he can’t even spend all the money he has now, and if he keeps earning more…
Just thinking about it is terrifying!
Therefore, Gu Yu strictly refused the other party’s wish to buy medicine with money and showcased his financial strength in front of everyone. Upon seeing Gu Yu take out a stack of thick silver notes, people immediately gave up the idea of buying with money.
However, after money became ineffective, these people started bringing out various treasures.
For example, medicinal herbs with extremely high years of cultivation.
For example, antiques passed down for thousands of years.
For example, priceless jewelry.
For example…
Countless treasures were piled directly in front of Gu Yu, making him sigh about how many rich people there were in the capital!
They could casually take out such precious items without even blinking an eye, truly rich!
Moreover, the treasures really made Gu Yu’s heart flutter.
When he agreed to exchange the Longevity Pill for treasures, people rushed in with excitement, knowing that this path was feasible… Gu Yu had been unwilling to budge before, which was too demoralizing.
Fortunately, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t exchange, but the items offered could not touch Gu Yu’s heart.
It seemed they had to keep trying!
With this thought, people became enthusiastic again.
Of course, it wasn’t just because their elders requested it that the younger generation would honestly hand over their treasures… for this, they could only convey the truth.
And upon hearing that there was medicine to increase lifespan, people were astonished.
If it were on someone else, they would definitely believe the old man had been deceived.
After all, immortality was just a legend.
However, after learning that it was the Longevity Pill made by Gu Yu, people only had the thought of buy, buy, buy.
Who is Gu Yu?
He is a doctor who can cure terminal illnesses, possessing such amazing medical skills, so it’s not strange for him to create medicine that can prolong life.
Thus, the enthusiasm of these younger generations was also ignited. One by one, they started searching for their own treasures, while also wondering if they could secretly exchange for one to hide.
Being able to extend one’s life, where can such good things be found!
It’s truly a case of missing this village and having no shop!
“Wife, you said, why have so many people come to the mansion recently!”
“You mean those who want to exchange for the Longevity Pill?”
That day, after just seeing off a few people who wanted to exchange for the Longevity Pill, the smile on Gu Yu’s face immediately fell.
Smiling all day, no one could stand it!
He had originally thought it would calm down in a few days, but now there were more and more people!
Worrying about these things, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh.
Should he think of a way to stop these people from coming?
Otherwise, looking at the treasures they brought out, he was really envious.
However, these things were still a little too little to exchange for the Longevity Pill.
His Longevity Pill used Thousand-year Ice Silkworm as medicine, which was extremely precious.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was one less with each use, Gu Yu would have already taken those treasures…
“They come every day, I can’t take it anymore.”
“It’s probably because my father bragged to others and let it slip. If you don’t want to see them anymore, I can ask my father to refuse visitors for a few days.”
“No, if there are any rare treasures, then we’ll miss out.”
“…”
Afterward, Gu Mengyao listened to her little husband’s words and truly felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
Although Gu Yu said he was tired, he didn’t really think that way!
Gu Mengyao also knew Gu Yu’s personality. She smiled slightly at this thought, considering that Gu Yu would continue to be busy.
However, there was nothing to do by staying in the capital.
It could distract him, so he wouldn’t be lying in the room all day.
The thought of Gu Yu always liking to lie on the bed made Gu Mengyao very helpless. Now that she could finally get him off the bed, this was a good thing.
She was truly worried about Gu Yu’s reclusive nature!
“Son-in-law, Gu Ding requests an audience!”
“Gu Ding… let him come in!”
Just as Gu Yu was about to complain more to his wife, a servant ran over and said something. This made Gu Yu wonder why someone else had come, but then he suddenly remembered that Gu Ding was one of their own.
Previously, Bai Qian had summoned Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao to the capital to deal with foreign envoys. Later, because those foreign envoys had become obedient, Gu Yu didn’t have much to do.
Therefore, Gu Yu began to carve jade ware, make cosmetics, and sew clothes… and Gu Ding was the personal servant who followed Gu Yu at that time.
However, because Gu Ding was a bit clever, Gu Yu thought of cultivating him.
Before leaving the capital, he gave Gu Ding some seed money, wanting to see how far he could develop.
If he developed well, he could also hand over the cosmetics shop to him for management.
After all, if he always cooperated with Shan Chengfeng, the money earned was too little…
When coming to the capital this time, he should have looked for Gu Ding long ago, but he was held back by these people seeking medicine.
This caused Gu Ding to become anxious and run over himself, which made Gu Yu feel guilty for his oversight.
However, he wondered how much Gu Ding had developed?
Previously, after giving him one thousand taels of silver as seed money, if he could triple it, he would hand over the responsibility of opening a shop to him.
“Son-in-law, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for a long time, and I’ve finally managed to wait for you!”
When Gu Ding appeared before him, Gu Yu looked at his attire and had a general idea of the situation.
Gu Ding was very good at making money!
“I was delayed by some matters, but you’ve developed well recently!”
“Hehe, thanks to the son-in-law! The initial one thousand taels of seed money has now earned me thirty thousand taels of silver!”
After speaking, Gu Ding did not stop and directly took out the thirty thousand taels of silver notes.
He had been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time.
Ever since Gu Yu said he would make him a store manager, Gu Ding had stopped at nothing for this goal, no matter how hard or tired he was. Finally, after understanding the market rules, he began to use his abilities to make money.
He was threatened midway and even beaten, but none of this could stop Gu Ding’s progress.
When he had developed, those people still wanted to do something to him, but the tables had turned, and Gu Ding directly found people to beat them up, which could be considered revenge for his past self.
Afterward, making money became even more proficient.
But, this alone was not enough!
He wanted to become famous in Linfeng Kingdom and let everyone know that there was a capable businessman in the capital named Gu Ding!
And to achieve this level, Gu Yu’s help was indispensable…
Now, he could only hope that Gu Yu would give him an opportunity!
