A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

"I wouldn't presume to preach; I'm a beginner myself."

Li Mu was at least somewhat aware of his own abilities, so he didn't show off. Instead, he pointed to the two books on the bedside table.

Fan Bingbing then spotted the book "An Introduction to Go".

After a moment of surprise, he suddenly laughed:

"Brother Li is surprisingly honest."

"What's there to hide about this?"

Li Mu shrugged, sat down opposite her, and began to collect the chess pieces one by one.

"Let me make this clear first, I'm a complete beginner. At most, I can explain the rules to you. But if you want me to play a demonstration game... my skill level is simply not up to par. To be honest, this is my first proper game today; before, I've only been reading books."

"Uh-huh."

Fan Bingbing nodded with a smile:

"That's perfect! If you explain the rules to me clearly, we should be able to compete evenly."

This makes it sound like the two are some kind of destined rivals.

Li Mu responded, then suddenly asked:

"What were your thoughts during that phone call?"

"Well……"

Fan Bingbing was taken aback, then said a place name:

Haidian.

Li Mu paused as he picked up the chess pieces.

He looked up at the big star across from him.

Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol? A rosy glow crept onto her face... making her look even more alluring under the lights.

After glancing at it, Li Mu looked away and continued sorting the chess pieces, saying as he did so:

"You think Haidian is where most of Beijing's best schools are located, and investing in property there will lead to significant appreciation in value? ... Well, not only that, but from another perspective, as the capital, Beijing undoubtedly has the best educational resources in the country. Parents from all over the country who want their children to receive better educations, if they have the means, will want to come to Beijing. At that time, housing in Haidian might be in short supply, and the market will be booming, right?"

"Well……"

Fan Bingbing opened her mouth...

To be honest, Brother Li was right about the beginning. But what happened next... she didn't expect.

To be honest, investing in Haidian wasn't her own idea; it was something those wealthy people suggested at Dingjin's party a couple of days ago.

Everyone is optimistic about the resources in Haidian District and believes that housing prices will definitely rise sharply.

She thought it made sense, and after careful analysis, she agreed that it was indeed true.

But she really hadn't thought of the second point Brother Li mentioned... or rather, she hadn't thought that far ahead.

But indeed, what the other person said was exactly what she wanted to hear.

So he nodded:

"Yes, that's what I think. What do you think, Brother Li?"

"That definitely makes sense. And if you're going to buy one, I suggest you don't buy a very big one; go for a small one, fifty or sixty square meters is the limit. Because many parents from other places send their children to Beijing, but the vast majority of them still have their businesses or companies back in their hometowns. They're not really moving to Beijing; they just want their children to have access to good educational resources."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean!"

Li Mu's words once again struck a chord with her.

Instantly, Fan Bingbing's eyes lit up.

Her words had a kind of enlightening effect, like a sudden awakening to someone from a dream.

She hadn't thought that far ahead, but after the person in front of her analyzed it... suddenly, she felt enlightened!

You've chosen the right path!

He's absolutely right!

Instantly, Fan Bingbing's heart warmed:

"Brother Li, you think so too? Then... shall we look towards Haidian District?"

She extended the invitation without even considering the possibility that the other party might refuse.

With such a clear prospect, who would refuse?

but……

"I'm not interested."

"Well……"

Fan Bingbing was stunned for a moment.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

She quickly regained her senses, and just as Li Mu was about to get up, she said rapidly:

"It must be my assistant, delivering tea. I'll go open the door."

As she spoke, she quickly walked to the door, and as expected, when she opened it, she saw her assistant carrying tea leaves and a tea set.

But Fan Bingbing changed her mind this time and directly accepted the tea set:

"Give it to me, you go back and rest."

"?"

The assistant was taken aback:

"Huh? Sister Bingbing?"

In the dead of night, in a hotel room...

She glanced at the handsome young man in the room...

Sister Bingbing...is this...not a good idea?

But Fan Bingbing nodded:

"Go back and rest. I want to talk to Reporter Li about something else."

The assistant was thus turned away.

Looking at the closed door, she thought for a moment and took out her phone.

moment……

"Hey, Sister Hua..."

……

Inside the room, the kettle was making a buzzing noise.

Fan Bingbing tore open a small vacuum-sealed tea bag and smiled at Li Mu:

"Brother Li, this is tea that someone gave me when I was doing gigs. It's authentic Tieguanyin, and I think it's pretty good. Let's try some."

"Um."

Li Mu nodded, while Fan Bingbing, standing beside the kettle, asked:

"Brother Li...don't want to invest in houses in Haidian?"

"Yes. I'm more interested in the Asian Games Village and areas outside the North Third Ring Road."

"Asian Games Village?"

Fan Bingbing instantly showed a puzzled expression:

"That place... is already quite developed. Besides, the Asian Games are long over..."

Seeing this, Li Mu understood her thoughts and asked:

"Fan Bingbing, did you know that our country has been bidding for the Olympics?"

"Yeah, I know. You've applied several times already, haven't you?"

Seeing that she still looked puzzled, Li Mu shrugged:

"We're applying again this time. Just like you said, it's true, we've been bidding for the Olympics since 91. Especially last year's Sydney Olympics, we were only two votes behind Sydney. But that's not the point. The point is, the Olympics is something the country has been pushing for. From the 90s to now, we've been working hard for a full decade. From this perspective, the country's efforts and confidence are beyond doubt, right?"

Although she didn't quite understand what Li Mu was trying to say, she still nodded unconsciously:

"Um."

"And in September, the results of the Olympic bid will be announced."

"Brother Li, do you think we'll succeed this time?"

"Whether it succeeds or not, I don't know. But... we're in the investment business, aren't we? Investment inherently carries risk. And that risk is linked to potential profits. There's a saying in Guangdong: the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. Fan Ye, have you considered that if our bid for the Olympics is successful, which area of ​​Beijing will instantly become a hot spot as the host city for the 08 Olympics?"

Looking into Fan Bingbing's puzzled eyes, Li Mu asked a question that the big star had never thought of before.

Or rather... correlation.

In her mind, real estate is just real estate, and apart from the price, it has nothing to do with anything else.

But now...

The mysterious and sophisticated man in front of her gently opened a window for her.

It showed her... a wider world.
