My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 876 New Summer Bookstore

Time flies, and the last week of 2040 will soon be ushered in.

Dad Xu's autobiography "How I Raised the World's Richest Man" has completed all preparations and is scheduled to be officially released on New Year's Day.

The simultaneous sale includes four editions: regular edition, hardcover edition, e-book and audiobook.

As for the overseas version, we have to wait another two months.

The publishing house has already launched a comprehensive publicity campaign:
"This will be a sobering and always inspiring inspirational book. It contains insights into life's struggle and success, as well as many moral truths of goodness and beauty."

However, just two days before New Year's Day, Xu Dong suddenly received a call from Musk's family, saying that Ma passed away in his sleep last night.

Hearing the bad news, he rushed over immediately.

Speaking of which, although he and Lao Ma have not known each other for a long time, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and the two families also have many contacts, which can be said to be a year-end friendship.

Due to the special situation at present, Lao Ma's funeral was held very hastily, and it only took one day before and after.

Immediately afterwards, Musk's personal lawyer publicly read the will in front of all the guests.

Unexpectedly, Lao Ma only left [-] million each to his children, and then donated most of his inheritance, including Tesla's shares, to the "Landing on Mars" project department free of charge.

Such a move shocked everyone.

There was instant applause at the scene!
Xu Dong was also deeply moved.

It can be seen from this that Lao Ma's true love for Mars is true, and he will never forget it even after death, which is admirable!
After the funeral, Mr. Mike took the opportunity to pull Xu Dong into his car, and it seemed that he had something to discuss.

"Mike, what's the rush?"

"Don't be in a hurry, after all, good products wait for no one!"

Mr. Mike replied immediately.

Xu Dong turned his head and quickly understood the other party's thoughts: "What? Are you interested in Tesla?"

"Of course I'm interested, but it's a pity that I'm powerless. To tell you the truth, I bought it on behalf of someone else, and the price is easy to talk about."

"Who?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"Hey, this investment comes from a newly established royal fund in Babylon. I think you can guess who it is. Among all the existing royal families, they are the richest."

"Is it Daiying? Their emperor who just abdicated?" Xu Dong blurted out.

"That's right, it's them."

"No way, Babylon has only been established for less than a year, and it will fall apart so soon?"

"You think too much."

Mike shook his head quickly first:
"The other party just doesn't want to put all their eggs in the same basket and is just doing two-handed preparations. They are a group of old nobles with a strong sense of crisis, so there's nothing unusual about them."

"I see." Xu Dong waved his hand immediately, "But it's useless for you to find me, I don't own a share of Tesla stock."

"I know you haven't, but you have a long way to go!"

"Let me tell you the truth, I don't know anyone in the aerospace department at all, you have found the wrong person. Take a step back, even if I can find a relationship, they may not be willing to make a move, isn't it good?"

"Hey, don't worry, the situation has been bad in the past few years. Tesla hasn't made much money at all. If he wants to pay dividends, he doesn't know that he has to wait until the year of the monkey!

According to what I have heard, the Ministry of Aeronautics and Space is currently very tight on funds, and they are burning too much money, so there is a high probability that they will choose to sell their shares. "

Mr. Mike said with confidence.

Xu Dong then said in amazement: "Then it's fine for you to go to the door directly. Why do you make a detour around my place? It's unnecessary?"

"The Department of Aeronautics and Space is short of money right now, and I'm afraid they will open their mouths."

"Damn it, it's not your own money, why do you feel sorry for them?"

"Old Xu, after these years of tossing, the assets of the British royal family have actually shrunk significantly. The asking price is too high. I'm afraid it will scare people away."

Mike explained with a wry smile.

"This doesn't sound like your style. Tell me honestly, how much commission did they promise you?"

Mr. Mike shook his head: "There is no commission, I help them for free."

"What are you trying to figure out?" Xu Dong expressed his confusion.

"It's called buying horse bones with a lot of money. Babylon is full of rich people with sufficient capital. They are also very willing to invest in our side in order to share the risk."

"You want to change careers? Stop doing foreign trade?"

"I can't do it any longer. The Tianzhu Peninsula doesn't have much food left now. Apart from you, the richest man, the only people in the world who don't need money are the Babylonians."

Xu Dong hurriedly said modestly: "Most of what I hold in my hands are stocks, and I don't have much cash at all, or I would take Tesla away myself."

"I know you're not interested, so I asked you for help. I'm familiar with Babylon, and I'm also familiar with the Asia Mutual business district. I'm going to open a special investment consulting company, and I'm almost famous now."

Mr. Mike pleaded.

Affected by the general environment, his business has been tepid in the past few years, not even as high as the stock returns of Xinke Seaweed. The more he thinks about it, the more he regrets it.

"Okay, I'll check back for you."

Xu Dong nodded.

After all, we are old friends for many years, so please help if you can!

"Thank you, thank you so much, and you must be quick. As far as I know, there are many people staring at Tesla, so don't be cut off."

"Don't worry, Lao Ma's shares are worth tens of billions, and it's not that easy to trade."

Xu Dong comforted with a smile.

"Anyway, please!"

……

Two days later, New Year's Day arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Dad Xu hurriedly ate breakfast, and couldn't sit still anymore, expressing his desire to go to the bookstore.

Seeing this, Lele immediately put the lentils into her mother's arms, then pulled her husband together, and the young couple went out with grandpa together.

There is a Xinxia bookstore near the manor, and the three of them arrived there in less than 10 minutes without driving.

Today is the New Year's Day holiday, and there are quite a lot of people in the bookstore. After all, entertainment life is scarce these days, and not every household can afford a computer. Reading has become one of the few hobbies of ordinary people.

"Grandpa, there are so many people today!"

Father Xu nodded with a smile: "It is a good thing to read more books. Grandpa was poor when he was a child, and the pocket money he worked so hard to save for a year was not enough to buy a book."

"Grandpa, take a quick look." Ji Yin suddenly pointed at the cashier and whispered, "There are a lot of people lining up to buy your autobiography over there."

Dad Xu quickly took out his reading glasses and put them on.

At the same time, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Lele's strategy really worked, and this wave was stable.

"Really, I didn't expect it to be so popular." The old man immediately beamed with joy: "Ji Yin, you still have the ability, grandpa saw the right person."

"It's Grandpa, your experience is wonderful."

Ji Yin quickly replied.

Lele walked to Grandpa and reminded him, "Grandpa, you should put on your mask quickly so that no one will recognize you."

"Yes, grandpa is also a celebrity now."

Dad Xu reacted instantly.
