C2432 Rich People's Hobbies
One of the most luxurious hotels in Nanyang. When Lin Yi came here, he felt a little weird. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he had come here a little too many times.
As a cultivator, Lin Yi was not a very high-profile person. Therefore, he did not like to be in such a high-end place for the first time. But now... It seemed like he had come to Rain Listening Building more and more, and was almost using it as a special hotel. But this wasn't his...
"Hmm... Do you want to buy the Rain Listening Building?"
Lin Yi rubbed his chin, feeling that if he bought the Rain Listening Building... Actually, it was also pretty good. But soon after, Lin Yi shook his head. He thought too much. Although the Rain Listening Building was only one of the Gu family's properties, but in the entire Donghua Province, this represented the Gu family. It represented one of the three top families that did not deserve their reputation in terms of capital. Even if he wanted to buy it. The Gu family would definitely not sell it.
En, that's right, one of the three great families in Nanyang.
Among them, the Yun's Group had over 100 billion in assets, and the Cui's Group even had more. Only the head of the three families, the Gu family of Nanyang, was said to have a total of 120 billion in assets. It was only about one-tenth of the former. In terms of capital, it was somewhat unworthy of its name.
Of course, Nanyang was not a small city after all. No matter what, it was still a first-tier city. Naturally, it was impossible for there to only be these three families. There were naturally quite a few that were richer than the Gu family. However, there was naturally a reason why they were unable to be ranked in the top three families.
He remembered that Yun Shuang had once told Lin Yi that in the entire Nanyang, don't look at how they didn't seem to be very rich. But in terms of background, no family could be compared with them. Not even the Yun family and the Cui family.
Regarding this matter, Lin Yi didn't ask too much about it. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to talk too much. He didn't really like gossips. All he needed to know was that the Gu family was very powerful. They had a very strong background. Apart from the fact that they didn't have money, they were also very powerful.
In this Rain Listening Building, Lin Yi was just thinking about it. He didn't really want to get his hands on it. It was just a spur of the moment. If he remembered correctly, this should be one of the Gu family's businesses. He did not dare to pry it away. Otherwise, the Gu family would definitely be anxious.
...
"Dr. Lin, what are you thinking about?"
Shu Yutong's voice rang out.
Only then did Lin Yi react. He smiled and shook his head. "I'm not thinking about anything. I just feel that this Rain Listening Building is pretty good. Then, I think of the Gu family."
"This Gu family is not an ordinary power. Although they appear to be very low-profile, they are still very powerful. But looking at the entire Nanyang, oh, no, even in the entire Donghua Province... There really weren't many powers who dared to go against the Gu family, even if it was the four great families. Their attitude towards the Gu family is to avoid provoking the Gu family as much as possible. "
Shu Yutong frowned slightly, then looked at Zheng Chengyi. "I'm afraid that only Brother Zheng would dare to make things difficult for the Gu family in the entire Donghua Province, right?"
" Oh?"
Lin Yi was a little surprised when he heard that.
Others might not know the background of the Gu family, but he, Lin Yi, knew a little about it. The Gu family of Nanyang was a rare martial family. En, Lin Yi originally wanted to talk about cultivation. But after thinking about it, it seemed like they were not related to cultivation at all. At most, they could only be considered a martial arts family.
However, in this world, martial families were still a very powerful group of people. At least, they could nurture a large number of top experts. Of course, this was a world with a lack of spiritual energy. It was not a cultivation expert like Lin Yi.
According to Lin Yi's guess, the background of the Gu family in Nanyang should be related to the military. There was a good saying, People do not fight with officials. Although this was an old saying from a long time ago, it was not outdated now. A legitimate businessman probably would not be willing to go against the military or the government.
Thinking about it, this should be the Yun's Group, Cui's Group, or even the eight small families in the provincial capital. The reason why they were not willing to go against the Gu family was that no matter how rich and powerful they were, they were still unwilling to go against the Gu family. But in the end, it was still a matter of business. If they provoked someone with a military background like this... They would probably have a headache.
However, according to what Shu Yutong said, it seemed like Zheng Chengyi dared to go against the Gu family. Lin Yi was a little surprised. Could it be that Zheng Chengyi also had a powerful background?
Or could it be that Zheng Chengyi didn't understand what was behind the Gu family, which was why he dared to do so?
But thinking about it, it didn't make sense. Zheng Chengyi wasn't an ordinary person. He was the richest man in Donghua Province. He was a big shot who was even richer than the four big families. How could he not know about the background of the Gu family?
There was only one explanation. Zheng Chengyi also had a background, and he was definitely not inferior to the Gu family.
Of course, Lin Yi was not interested in these things. He had never thought of participating in politics or the military. To put it bluntly, Lin Yi's position was very simple. He was just an ordinary doctor. Although he was now involved in the conflict between Cloud Star TCM House and Heavenly Sun TCM House, but even so... He was just a doctor.
"Don't say that. I don't understand what's going on here. As for the Gu family in Nanyang, I don't have any grudges with them. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want to offend them. I'm just an honest businessman."
Zheng Chengyi hurriedly waved his hand with a smile. When Shu Yutong heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.
Lin Yi blinked his eyes. He didn't know where to laugh. He only felt that the smiles of these two people were rather vulgar. It seemed that there were some stories that he didn't understand, and they were the kind that was relatively vulgar.
For a moment, Lin Yi couldn't help but look at these two people with a strange expression. Could it be that these two people had some kind of indescribable relationship?
"Dr. Lin, I think you didn't understand what Brother Zheng just said."
Seeing this, Shu Yutong instantly smiled and said, "Think about it. Brother Zheng is the richest man in Donghua Province, and the Gu family has such an awesome background, but this ability..."
"Cough cough..."
Lin Yi suddenly understood. It turned out that Zheng Chengyi was teasing the poor Gu family in Nanyang. They were just holding the title of a top family for nothing, but in the end, their assets were only one-tenth of the family's assets. Clearly, they did not know how to do business.
"Interesting."
Lin Yi smiled as well. He was quite speechless in his heart.
It seemed like this was the world of the rich. Although he did not seem to care about money, in terms of capital, his horizons were indeed much worse compared to others. Look at them. The Gu family had over ten billion worth of assets. They could be considered a super rich and powerful family. However, these two people were still mocking the other party for being poor. Then, what about him? ...
