His life was the most charming, sad and dramatic of all success stories. The name that was associated with the rich, the philanthropist, and the Hollywood actress, his legendary experience was like the real-life version of the Arabian Nights.
For example, he had a Hollywood actress wife, inherited billions of assets, was the first philanthropist in a century, and was the owner of the first Rolls-Royce in China …
According to the original trajectory, the last two would not be much of a problem, but because of Li He's appearance, it might be discounted, because no one had donated as much as Li He.
As for the Rolls-Royce, Li He's subordinates, Pinsong, and the others, basically had one.
Shou Shan might be the owner of the first Rolls-Royce in China.
Li He did not pay much attention to these factual details. The only thing that made Li He suspect was the movie star's wife, inherited billions of assets.
According to his autobiography, going abroad was his only goal at that time. Every day, he wore a borrowed suit, sat in the hotel lobby, and hoped to meet a foreigner who would take him away.
Then, an old Hollywood lady who was 38 years older than him fell in love with him at first sight.
Later, he followed the "movie star" to the United States to live with her, and his identity was "son's lover."
In the autobiography, the dramatic reversal was that he inherited most of the star's assets, including three villas including Oak Hill Manor, a real estate company in Seattle, four priceless rare paintings by Van Gogh and Picasso, and all of her jewelry, stocks, and cash.
No one had ever come out to support these things, and they were all said by Li Qiuping alone.
There had never been any factual evidence to prove that Li Qiuping's assets came from inheritance.
He suspected that Li Qiuping and Chen Lihua were the same kind of people, and to cover up the huge assets of unknown sources, they made up a series of stories.
Da Kui said, "Brother, should I ask around again?"
Li Qiuping's posture and wealth frightened Da Kui, who had seen a lot over the years, so he did not dare to act rashly. He was not a fool, and in this land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, arrogance depended on the person.
Li He said, "Think of a way to take a photo, develop it, and show it to Su Ming. Then, go to Liulichang and ask around about this person. I don't believe that we can't dig out his background."
He wasn't afraid, but his curiosity got the better of him. He wanted to find out more about this "angel" of love.
Da Kui left in a hurry and came back after a short while, followed by Su Ming.
In the early years, Su Ming rode a tricycle everywhere to help Li He find antiques and cultural relics. After his business improved, he began to get help from Pan Song and Fu Biao, and later Pinsong and Luo Pei.
They had just entered the antique industry. Whether it was Liulichang or Panjiayuan, they had to come into contact with some people intentionally or unintentionally. Their experience in this industry could be said to be rich.
Su Ming asked as soon as he entered the door, "I heard that someone cheated our uncle's things. This is my specialty. I'm afraid that Da Kui doesn't know how to deal with it, so I thought I'd handle it."
He did not wait for Da Kui to look for him before he took the initiative to come over.
Li He smiled and said, "You don't even know this Li Qiuping. What can you do?"
Su Ming suddenly laughed, very loudly. "Bro, I really do know this person!"
"You know him?" Li He did not know what was going on.
Su Ming smiled and said, "In the early years, we were in a unique business of collecting antiques. Later, the first person to compete with us was not Chen Lihua!"
"Could it be Li Qiuping?" Li He naturally guessed in this direction.
Su Ming nodded. "It's him. He's different from us. We only collect and not sell! He sells as he collects! He does not have the ability to have a sales channel in Hong Kong like Chen Lihua, so he can only find ways to find sellers. Once he has good goods, he will stop those foreigners who are interested in antiques at the Beijing Hotel and try his best to sell them. After making a small fortune, he went to England. After that, he somehow went to the United States. I also know that he came back last year. He lives outside the Jianguomen, and the decoration is very beautiful. I was curious why this old man did not stay in the capitalist paradise and wanted to return to China. It turns out that he is still thinking about antiques. The United States' Hidden Fujing Company and that Shi Quan Healthcare Company are all pretenses. "
"He is quite capable." Li He praised him.
Su Ming said, "What kind of ability is that? Bro, if we're talking about real ability in Sijiu City, there's only one person I admire! Other than you, I have never been impressed by anyone else! He can make a fortune selling popsicles and video tickets! "
"Who?" Li He was curious.
Da Kui also stretched his neck and listened.
"Li Xiao Hua. He donated 1 million RMB to the Asian Games Stadium."
"Oh, it's him." Li He was very familiar with this person. If it were not for him, this person would be the richest man in China. The Japanese Zhang Guang 101 was introduced by this person, and he made a lot of money.
"I saw him at the Asian Games Stadium the day before yesterday. That Ferrari company organized a car exhibition there. That red car was very beautiful, and it was convertible."
Li He smiled and asked, "You gave it to him?"
Su Ming nodded. "This person is still worth befriending. I am discussing with him about opening a movie theater. He came from a video parlor business, so he knows better than me."
"That's up to you. I don't care. Now contact that Li Qiuping guy. I want to meet him. "Li He did not want to care about anything else. He just had to get the thumb ring back.
"How about I go alone? He may be arrogant, but in our territory, even if he is a dragon, he has to coil up. Even if he is a tiger, he has to crouch. " Su Ming felt that Li He's value had dropped. Seeing that Li He did not say anything, he knew that Li He was determined. He could only say, "Then let's go smash his door now."
Da Kui immediately brought a few people with him, and the group drove to the vicinity of Jianguo Gate.
Just from the outside, Li Qiuping's residence looked grand enough. The square courtyard house had been transformed into a top-notch mansion.
The vermilion lacquer door was lined with nails, and the stone lion in front of the door was as tall as two people. It was taller than the stone lion in front of Prince Gong's old house.
It occupied a vast area, and the courtyard was deep and spacious.
In the future, just being able to live in the inner city would be a sign of being rich, let alone such a big house.
Li He suddenly realized that compared to this guy, he must be a fake nouveau riche.
Da Kui received Su Ming's instructions and went up to press the doorbell.
Li He looked at the cameraman above the door and adjusted his shirt.
An auntie-looking person brought Li He and the others into the hall.
Four housekeepers came in and placed a cup of tea in front of each of them. Li He was convinced by this ostentatious display.
He felt that the tea was good, so he waited patiently for more than ten minutes.
Su Ming was impatient. He said to a man guarding the door, "Where's your boss? This is not the way to treat a guest. "
Before the man could say anything, a middle-aged man entered the house and smiled at Su Ming. "Boss Su, long time no see."
After shaking hands with Su Ming, he glanced at Li He, who was drinking his tea with his head lowered.
Li He looked at Li Qiuping. This person was also a walking coat hanger. His figure was tall and straight, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes were just right. One must know that with thick eyebrows and big eyes, one could easily see that he had a tiger's head and a tiger's brain. As expected, he had the qualities of a pretty boy.
Su Ming patted his shoulder rudely and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? You're not even willing to meet your old friend now that you've become rich?"
