Chapter 1122 Dowry
Lin Hao looked at the date on the newspaper. It was already November 11th, and the Battle of Peiping-Tianjin started yesterday.

General Fu ordered Tianjing to defend it to the death, but he himself talked with the Red Party about peaceful liberation.

However, the first round of peace talks did not meet his demands, so he ordered Tianjing and Zhangjiakou to resist to the death.

“Time flies!” Lin Hao couldn’t help but sigh.

The situation is now clear. He only needs to eat hot pot and sing songs at home and does not have to do anything else.

Waiting quietly, waiting for them to enter the capital, waiting for them to rebuild this suffering country!
Is everything going to be fine for them next? No.

There are tens of thousands of undercover agents in the capital. They will not sit idly by and wait for death. They will also carry out various assassinations, explosions, attacks, sabotage and other troubles.

These people who secretly sabotage others are likely to bring all kinds of troubles and crises to the new government.

In the afternoon, Lin Hao came to Liu Rusi’s villa. The two of them drank coffee, ate snacks, and enjoyed a moment of peace.

“I heard that you have passed a lot of information to the Red Party recently?” Lin Hao asked casually.

“Yes, there are quite a few, and they are all relatively critical information!” Liu Rusi smiled and said:
“Didn’t you say that I have to make more contributions and accumulate more merits, so that I can live a peaceful and ordinary life with you!”

Lin Hao nodded. Liu Rusi still had some brains and was willing to listen to advice. Otherwise, even with Lin Hao’s protection, she would still be in trouble in the future.

“Oh, I thought of something!” Liu Rusi suddenly said, “You want to move into your courtyard house!”

“I plan to donate this villa. For me, living in this villa is a bit too high-profile!”

After taking a sip of coffee, Liu Rusi looked at Lin Hao lovingly and said.

“I was just about to say this. We are so in sync!” Lin Hao smiled and said:

“I’ve already thought about it. When the time comes, you and the little girl will move in and live in the east wing!”

“This big villa is indeed too high-profile. Most of the people in the Red Party are children from poor families. What they can’t stand the most is the behavior of you capitalists, so it’s good for you to live in a courtyard with me!”

“But there’s no need to donate this house. They won’t be grateful to you even if you donate it. They will just think it’s their due. It’s better to keep it!”

Liu Rusi’s eyes lit up when she heard this and said, “Why don’t we sell it now and save some money as my dowry!”

In fact, Liu Rusi didn’t want to donate it either. After all, the villa was not cheap. The current cheap price was only temporary. As long as the capital city restored order, the villa here would eventually regain its due value.

“Superficial, do I need your little dowry?” Lin Hao said unhappily: “But if you insist on giving it to me, it’s not impossible!”

“Not only do you not have to sell this villa, you also have to buy Villa No. 7 and merge it with my villa to serve as the headquarters of the Global Development Bank.”

Lin Hao tapped the table with his fingers and said:

“When the time comes, my villa No. 6 will be used as the Asian headquarters, the villa No. 7 in the middle will be used as the European headquarters, and your villa No. 8 will be used as the American headquarters. These three villas can be preserved, and people will have nothing to complain about.”

Liu Rusi gave Lin Hao a charming look:

“After all this talk, it’s all for my dowry, but in the end, you get the bargain!”

“Hehe, look at what you said. Money is not something that is easy to get. It will not be easy to keep the property in the capital city legitimately in the future!”

“Besides, how could I be short of your money? You know my wealth, you just don’t have a suitable excuse to keep more properties!”

If Lin Hao really wants to acquire more real estate, he only needs to take advantage of the unstable situation and purchase real estate in large quantities, but the problem is how to keep it.

In the future, privately owned houses larger than 225 square meters will be forcibly rented out to people in need through the streets.

Moreover, in the future, people cannot be forced to cancel the lease of these rented houses, which means that people can stay as long as they want, and the landlords have no right to forcibly take back the houses.

Therefore, in the future, the courtyard house will be divided among his wives and concubines, so that the courtyard house can be preserved.

As for the three villas in Dongjiaomin Lane, they are the company’s assets, and the Global Development Bank is still the creditor.

If there is public-private partnership in the future, then there will definitely be no problem, Lin Hao will fully cooperate, but when someone wants to redeem the property under Lin Hao’s name, they must first consider returning the 100 tons of gold that Lin Hao lent them.

By the way, there are now more than 120 tons of gold. When the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea comes, the cotton clothes and weapons that Lin Hao prepares for them will increase this loan infinitely.

When the industrial construction comes, Lin Hao will help them purchase some mechanical equipment that cannot be bought elsewhere, as well as various production processes that are urgently needed domestically. The amount of gold in this loan will be so much that it will make one’s scalp numb.

In addition, strictly speaking, Lin Hao’s Global Development Bank is a large multinational banking group.

The nationality and identity of multinational groups is an extremely complex issue.

Although they legally belong to a certain country, their economic activities and influence are global.

Therefore, Lin Hao’s bank can theoretically exist.

In fact, the country allowed foreign investment in the future, but due to the blockade and embargo by Western capitalist countries, foreign-funded enterprises gradually withdrew until they completely ceased to exist in 1962.

This was the solution that Lin Hao had thought of when he had a flash of inspiration. He wanted to stay in the country, but at the same time he wanted the country to allow his existence and avoid certain problems.

The key is that the country cannot refuse the foreign transportation channels controlled by Lin Hao, and forcible takeover will only cut off its own path.

Just think about it, in order to get a window to the outside world, even Hong Kong Island~!

Anyway, he has a space ring, so he is not afraid of the so-called blockade at all. When the time comes, he can put the supplies into the space ring and transport them to the whole world.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll buy the house next door while the house price is low!”

Liu Rusi also felt that Lin Hao’s argument made sense. If she donated the money directly, it would be true. But if she threw the money into the water, she wouldn’t even hear a sound. It would be better to keep it for herself.

And putting it under the name of Lin Hao’s bank would only be safer. When he was helping Lin Hao deal with banking affairs, he already knew how huge the scale of this development bank was.

They also knew how much money they owed Lin Hao. Given the Red Party’s policies, there would definitely be no problem with the bank’s assets.

Liu Rusi then mobilized her own network of connections and bought the villa next door. She then gave the title deed to Lin Hao and placed it in the name of the bank.

Afterwards, Liu Rusi and the little girl took all the valuable things in the house and moved into No. 56 Maoer Hutong.

While Liu Rusi was busy with the affairs of the villa these two days, time unknowingly came to December.

The daily reports in the newspapers are not good news for the dignitaries in the city.

Every day we either lose cities or territories. If this continues, the two isolated cities of Pingjin will not be able to hold out for much longer.

Now, apart from waiting to die, there is only negotiation, and Shen Shichang has been very upset recently. Because Tian Dan and Tian Huaizhong were not dead at the time, he didn’t know whether these two people knew his thoughts.

If his secret were to get out, it would be impossible for him to sway or sit on the fence.

He had no choice but to go all the way and sent people to secretly capture Tian Huaizhong, but he was kidnapped within a few days.

That would have been the end of it. No one knew whether the other party had discovered that he was the mastermind behind the scenes. But then Tian Huaizhong found other channels, contacted General Fu, and started the first round of peace talks.

In order to prevent them from negotiating and to resolve future troubles, he asked someone to find the Jellyfish Sniper Team and asked them to kill Jin Hai, who knew about the situation, and Tian Huaizhong and his daughter.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the Jellyfish Sniper Team, which was once so famous, was actually a group of fakes. After failing to assassinate Jin Hai, they turned around and ran back to Songjiang, which almost made him angry to death.

“What a bunch of rubbish! I used to think the Military Control Commission was rubbish. I thought it would be better after you guys reorganized.”

“But I didn’t expect that they are still useless. Even the so-called Jellyfish Sniper Team they sent here are a bunch of useless people!” Shen Shichang was furious at the Beijing Security Bureau.

“It’s been so long, and we can’t even find two people. What on earth are you doing?”

“What did you do with the money I gave you? Did you spend it all on those women in the Eight Great Hutongs?”

The chief of the Beijing station of the Bureau of Secrets, code-named Changjiang, could only lower his head and let Shen Shichang curse at him.

There is no way, whoever gives the money is the boss. Now their activity funds all come from Shen Shichang.

As long as he has money to spend, it’s okay for him to curse a few times, it will just go in one ear and out the other.

“Changjiang, I don’t care what method you use, you must find these two people. I want them alive!”

After cursing for a while, Shen Shichang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But if you get angry and don’t get things done, then everything will be in vain.

Changjiang bowed and quickly assured:
“Got it, Mr. Shen. I will definitely mobilize all members of the Beijing Station of the Security Bureau and have them find these two people as soon as possible!”

“Go.” Shen Shichang sent Changjiang away.

He came to the window, looked at the snow outside, and felt extremely worried. Then he murmured to himself:

“Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it!”

Shen Shichang’s seventh concubine brought over a cup.

“Master, drink some ginseng soup to nourish your body. This soup uses the best Liao ginseng and the chicken is black-bone chicken!”

Shen Shichang took the cup, looked at the full of wolfberries inside, and then looked at the Seventh Aunt with a puzzled expression.

The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, what do you mean?
But then he thought, he is already old, and this seventh concubine is also for his own good.

In the end, he drank all the wine and put the cup aside. Then Shen Shichang asked:
“I heard that girl gave her house to a man?”

“Yes, not only did he give away his own house, he also bought the house next door and gave it away as well!” The Seventh Concubine looked at Shen Shichang, who looked normal, and then continued:
“She even moved to that man’s house and didn’t even bother to bring him back to meet you, sir!”

Because Liu Rusi’s attitude towards her, the Seventh Aunt, was usually not very nice, so whenever the Seventh Aunt mentioned Liu Rusi, she couldn’t help but feel jealous.

“What on earth is this girl thinking? Is she going to give away both the person and the house?”

Shen Shichang seemed not to understand what the Seventh Concubine meant. He just sighed and said:

“You didn’t even say you’d come back to discuss it with me!”

None of his sons and daughters had much potential, and they were already in the capital city in the south.

In the northern capital, he had only one daughter, Liu Rusi, and this daughter was very capable.

“You know how stubborn that girl is. Even if something happens, she won’t come to you for help!” the Seventh Concubine continued.

“Forget it, let her go!” Shen Shichang was silent for a moment, thought for a moment and then said:

“Give her some money and buy her a house. If a woman doesn’t have a family background, she won’t be able to hold her head up high even if she marries into the man’s family!”

“Besides, I have my own house. If we have a fight or something, I can go back to that house and live there for a while!”

The seventh concubine’s eyebrows jumped when she heard this, and she tried to dissuade him implicitly:

“Master, I don’t think this is necessary. Since she has given away the house, she may not want other houses if you give her one. Even if she accepts it, she may give it to that man again!”

The Seventh Aunt frowned, looking a little unhappy, feeling that her words were of no use at all.

“It’s my business whether I give it or not. It’s her business whether she wants it or not!” At this point, Shen Shichang said with dissatisfaction:
“Also, I make the decisions about family matters. When is it your turn to make comments?”

After saying this, Shen Shichang looked at the Seventh Concubine with his sharp eyes.

It is said that the place you live in changes your spirit and your body. Having been in a high position for a long time, it is natural that you will have a sense of majesty without even getting angry.

Being stared at like this by Shen Shichang, the Seventh Concubine felt a lot of pressure and couldn’t stand it.

“Okay, okay, I’ll go get it. There’s no need for you to be angry, master!” The seventh concubine was also smart and she gave in immediately.

She had no idea that Shen Shichang had already investigated Lin Hao thoroughly, and of course, the information was publicly available.

But even the information on the surface is enough to make people amazed. The bank owned by Lin Hao is definitely a perfect match for their family.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ignored his daughter even though he gave her a house and other people and even asked her to move into Lin Hao’s house.

In fact, he had been plotting against Lin Hao in his heart for many times.

Afterwards, she told the Seventh Aunt about Lin Hao’s situation again and gave her some serious instructions.

·····
That afternoon, the seventh concubine came to No. 56 Maoer Hutong with the house deed.

“Girl, go see your father when you have time. He is in the capital now. Apart from me, you are his only relative!”

“And I am just a concubine. You and the master are truly related by blood!”

“Now you gave the house away without saying a word and moved into this man’s home.”

“Fortunately, the master helped you pass the test. This Lin Hao is not an ordinary person either. He is a good match for you!”
