In the next few years, Xiang Nan and Xiaoping's life got better and better.

Although according to the regulations that the country will introduce in the future, active military personnel are not allowed to do business, speculate in stocks, participate in for-profit theatrical performances, accept commercial advertisements, image endorsements, etc., which caused Xiang Nan to sell all the stocks he had bought before.

However, Xiang Nan is still a gentleman who loves money and gets it wisely.

He can also make a lot of money by buying and selling buildings, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

In particular, in the early 1990s, he purchased a large number of paintings by contemporary artists at low prices, such as Zeng Fanzhi, Zhang Xiaogang, Yue Minjun, Zhou Chunxi, Fang Lijun, etc.

At that time, their paintings were very cheap. You could buy one for a few hundred yuan, or one or two thousand.

In 1998, Zeng Fanzhi's painting was auctioned at Christie's, and the bid was 8,000 US dollars, but the auction failed. By 2006, one of his paintings had been sold for 5.6 million. In 2007, the price It even exceeded 10 million. In 2013, the huge oil painting "The Last Supper" created by him was sold for a sky-high price of 180 million Hong Kong dollars.

Relying on these investments, Xiang Nan's assets had expanded to RMB 1.5 billion by the new century, making him a truly top-tier rich man.

However, because he has always believed in keeping his wealth private, no one knows exactly how much money he has.

Even Xiaoping thought that he could earn up to tens of millions from writing books over the years. He had no idea that he had done so many businesses and earned so much money over the years.

…

With so much money, Xiang Nan's family's living standard is naturally top-notch.

He lived in a single-family villa in the Central District, drove a Rolls-Royce Maybach, ate green vegetables and meat, and wore well-known luxury brands. Even when Liu Hao went to middle school, he attended a bilingual school.

And he received Xiang Nan and Xiaoping's careful training since he was a child. When he grew up, he also had excellent grades and many talents. Therefore, when he took the art exam at the age of 18, he ranked first in both professional courses and cultural courses, and was successfully admitted to Yanjing Film. College, and became classmates with Liu Yifei, Jiang Yiyan, Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo, etc.

Because his parents are both big celebrities, especially Xiang Nan, who attends the Spring Festival Gala every year, makes movies every year, and plays an important role in the mainland entertainment industry, Liu Hao is also taken seriously in school and is a powerful influencer.

During my sophomore year, I started to take roles outside, including "The Young Emperor", "Dragon", "Blood Romance", "My Brothers and Sisters", "A World Without Thieves"...

Xiang Nan is friends with Ma Weidu, Wang Tie, Feng Xiaogang, Ye Jing, Zhao Baogang, Zheng Xiaolong, etc. He also has a good relationship with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, and Ying Bo. Teng Huatao, Lu Xuechang, and Guan Hu are all juniors to him. Already.

Xiang Nan is good at writing and has various scripts at his fingertips. In addition, he has a lot of money, capital, and courage. Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Zhao Baogang and others have made many films and TV series, but failed to attract investment. It was Xiang Nan who came to the rescue.

Therefore, he has a very high status in this circle. With a father like him to protect him, Liu Hao's development will naturally be smooth sailing.

In 2003, he became a blockbuster with his starring role in "The Young Emperor", followed by Duan Yu in "Dragon", Ning Wei in "Blood Romance", Bai Yang in "Happiness is Like a Flower", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" Yang Guo in "Golden Wedding", Tong Sibo in "Golden Wedding", Xiang Nan in "Struggle", Zhu Chuanwu in "Crossing the East", Xiao Bei in "Dwelling in a Snail", Takeda in "The Wind", Yi Xiaochuan in "The Myth", The eighth prince in "The Palace Lock Scheme", Wang Xiaojian in "Thirty-three Days of Love"...

Good scripts and good roles, one after another, have made Liu Hao's reputation rise steadily, and he has firmly occupied his position as a first-line niche player in the entertainment industry.

In 12 years, Liu Hao married a girl from outside the circle. The girl's name was Mo Yuxin. Her father was a venture capital investor and his net worth was around 8 billion, which was slightly lower than Xiang Nan.

After getting married, the couple became so loving that they gave Xiang Nan a grandchild every two years. Fortunately, Xiang Nan was at home playing with the child every day.

…

In 2013, Xiang Nan and Xiaoping officially retired. Before retiring, Xiang Nan had been promoted to major general. After retiring, he enjoyed the treatment of a full army level. Before Xiaoping retired, he was at the regimental level. After retiring, he enjoyed the treatment of a deputy division level.

However, despite retreating, Xiang Nan is even busier than before.

Before, when I was an active-duty soldier, I couldn't do many things. Now that I have retired from active duty, I have no constraints and can do many things.

For example, starting a company, speculating on stocks, venture capital, investing in film and television, etc. After all, no one will be dissatisfied with their lack of money.

Since his retirement in 2013, Xiang Nan has successively invested in Bytedance, Meituan, Didi Dache, Pinduoduo, Kuaishou, Zhihu, etc., and he has not let go of Bitcoin and blockchain.

A few years later, when these companies were listed one after another, Xiang Nan's investment received returns of dozens or hundreds of times.

And after getting rich, Xiang Nan did not spend it lavishly.

To be honest, at his age, his material desires are already very small. He doesn't have much to eat, drink, or live in, so he donates most of the money he earns.

A large part of it was donated to the families of soldiers who died in the war.

Xiang Nan personally participated in that war and knew how cruel it was. He also felt great respect for those comrades who sacrificed their lives, so he wanted to do something for them.

This donation was evenly distributed to each family. Although it was only a few tens of thousands of yuan, it was still considered as his sincerity.

…

The older we get, the more nostalgic we become.

After retiring, Xiang Nan held gatherings of the art troupe basically every year to get together with his comrades.

Just like what was written in the original novel, after Hao Shuwen's husband got rich, he despised her for being old and old, so he divorced her at the beginning of the new century, and then found a girl who was thirty years younger than her.

After Xiao Suizi went abroad, she met a charming man in the United States. Under his enthusiastic pursuit, she finally agreed to marry him. After getting married, she gave birth to a pair of twins. Now she has become an American citizen and is considered an overseas Chinese.

The political commissar passed away in 2002. After he changed his career, he returned to his hometown and worked as the deputy director of a machinery factory. At the end of 1990, the machinery factory collapsed under the impact of the market, and the political commissar became depressed and became ill as a result, drinking every day to relieve his boredom.

.As a result, he developed cirrhosis of the liver within a few years and died from it.

Zhu Ke was possessed by a degenerate spirit. He was sentenced to five years in prison for assault in 1975. After he was released from prison in 1979, he was sentenced to another ten years for hooliganism because of his disorderly life. He was only released in 1992.

In 1993, he was sentenced to another two years for selling pirated video tapes. After entering the prison, he was sentenced to another year for participating in a prison fight. He was not released until 1996.

After he was released, he discovered that the factories where he worked had closed down and he no longer had a serious job. He had to rely on a little money from his family to open a restaurant by himself.

As a result, just two days after the restaurant opened, he encountered a gangster looking for trouble. As soon as he took action, he was sentenced to affray and intentional injury. Because he was a repeat offender, his sentence was increased and he was sentenced to three years.

After he came out again, his parents were dead, and his brothers and sisters didn't want to care about him. Zhu Ke had no other way to survive, so he had to imitate other people's tricks. As a result, he didn't make the right decision the first time and got directly under the other person's car and crushed him on the spot.

Had a comminuted fracture.
