In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Twelve pills!

A full twelve!

Enough to ensure your woman, brothers, and others live to be a hundred years old!

"All right!"

Su Mo smiled at everyone and said, "Let's go first. We can get excited after we leave here!"

The fat man walked over, hugged Su Mo, and cried his heart out. "Brother Su, thank you! The best thing I've ever done in my life, the luckiest thing I've ever done, is to follow you!"

Let's go...

Su Mo smiled and said, "This trip to Tibet has lasted for almost half a year now, it's time for us to go home!"

Chapter 140: The Orphanage, the Beginning of Power

"Professor Sun?"

Hearing Su Mo mention Professor Sun Xuewu, Shirley Yang was somewhat surprised. "Why did you think of him? Professor Sun helped me before, and I have a good impression of him..."

Su Mo shook his head. "He's using you. He's very cunning and shouldn't be befriended. You'd better stay away from him..."

Sun Xuewu, originally named Feng Xuewu, was actually the Guanshan Taibao of the Ming Dynasty.

In the original novel, the reason this person approached Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, and others was to help Hu and Wang, the tomb raiders, solve the mystery of the Earth Immortal Village.

Su Mo had just lifted the Red Eye Curse, and everyone wanted to have some peace and quiet, but there was no time to open the Guanshan Taibao instance again.

Therefore, it's best to avoid contact with Sun Xuewu.

"All right…"

Although she didn't know what Su Mo meant, she figured it was for everyone's good, so Shirley Yang didn't think much of it and nodded directly.

At this point, Big Gold Tooth suggested, "Let's go to the auction house and take a look..."

Su Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed, "Okay!"

After several months of development, Su Mo also wanted to see how far his auction house, which he had invested heavily in, had progressed.

"OK…"

Big Gold Tooth stood up. "I'll go get the car!"

A short while later, three Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in front of Su's shop. Su Mo invited everyone to sit in the cars.

.........

An area less than 10 kilometers from the Forbidden City.

Just a few months ago, this place was a construction site, but now a building has sprung up. The building has more than ten floors. Su Mo had put a lot of effort into this auction house, and he specially invited many domestic and foreign architectural masters to guide its construction.

Because of its unique appearance, Su Mo believed that even more than twenty years from now, it would still not be considered a rare color in 21st-century China.

The auction house is surrounded by hotels and restaurants. Su Mo has not given up on the tertiary industries that the auction house has expanded into, and has done his homework on this matter.

Upon seeing Su Mo's convoy, Big Gold Tooth had already instructed more than 500 security guards to line up and wait for a long time.

This team, composed of members of the Zhelongzhai tribe and Lao Hu's retired veteran friends, has developed remarkable combat power with just a little training.

That drive couldn't escape Su Mo's golden eyes!

"very good!"

Su Mo felt increasingly satisfied. "This place will be our future treasure trove!"

"The land beneath our feet will one day rival the fame of Panjiayuan, Liulichang, and the Crescent Hotel in Beijing..."

Lao Hu and others have high hopes; the future looks promising!

Su Mo looked around for a while, but didn't get out of the car. Instead, he said directly, "To the orphanage!"

"it is good…"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Big Gold Tooth immediately changed direction.

.........

We arrived at the orphanage.

Su Mo opened the car door, and seeing this, Lao Hu and the others also got out of the car and followed behind Su Mo.

It's not far from the auction house, only about a ten-minute walk.

The orphanage wasn't very big, but it was a hidden gem inside.

Many children's play areas, staff accommodations, and the canteen are also located here.

The intermediate court is where the child lives!

The backyard is the core area, where more than 20 agile veterans are training.

There are now more than 800 orphans here, ranging in age from twelve to four or five!

Su Mo was proficient in calculation and had already kept some unreliable people out of the future.

Of these eight hundred people, only a very small fraction will serve Su Mo in the future; the majority will leave the orphanage.

This orphanage will be responsible for them until they turn eighteen, or until they go to college.

Su Mo had already made this decision before the orphanage was established; he couldn't possibly restrict everyone's personal freedom.

No matter how ruthless Su Moxin was, she wasn't ruthless enough to turn this place into an assassin training camp.

As he introduced them, Big Gold Tooth led Su Mo and the others to the backyard.

There are many training equipment here, all used for martial arts practice.

More than twenty retired veterans surrounded them, saluting, "Uncle Su, Brother Hu!"

Su Mo asked, "Does anyone know any martial arts techniques suitable for children to practice?"

One of them said, "Master Su, we all know them. They are basic boxing techniques that can improve physical fitness and fighting skills. They are similar to Taekwondo and are not very advanced, but they are especially suitable for training children. They are simple and easy to understand!"

Su Mo smiled with satisfaction. "That's good. From now on, we can teach all the children, boys and girls, some health and fitness techniques so that they can have a healthy body wherever they go!"

The veterans nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

"Oh, right..."

Su Mo then looked at Big Gold Tooth, "The auction house is our treasure trove, and this place is crucial to whether we can gain a foothold in the whole of China. We must spare no effort to nurture these children, and not be stingy with money..."

Just now, Su Mo activated his Golden Eyes and personally scanned the physical attributes of those orphans.

Some children are destined to learn martial arts. If they stay in the future, Su Mo will let them join the security team or directly engage in tomb raiding.

Some children are suited to studying literature. If they also want to stay here, they can study antique appraisal and work directly in auction houses in the future.

In short, whether they are learning martial arts, studying literature, or are not receiving special training from Su Mo, basic boxing is a compulsory course for all the children in the orphanage.

Improving one's health will undoubtedly bring lifelong benefits.

This can be considered a gift from Su Mo to everyone.

Big Gold Tooth didn't dare to be careless and nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

After doing all this, Su Mo's eyes gleamed. "The initial form of our power is already in place. We just need to wait for these little guys to grow up, and then we'll be in charge of China's antique market!"

Everyone was aware of Su Mo's strength, and now they understood his ambition even more.

Su Mo's future achievements may rival those of Zhang Dafoye!

"Master Su..."

At this point, Ada cautiously said, "If these projects start simultaneously, we might not have enough funds..."

Su Mo was taken aback, looked at Yingzi, and asked, "How much money do we have left in the account?"

Su Mo didn't really know how much money he had.

Previously, Da Jin Ya had been managing the funds. Before heading to Tibet, Su Mo transferred the funds to Ying Zi's account, wanting his younger sister to learn about financial management.

After all, it was his own money, and his woman was managing it, so Su Mo felt at ease.

Yingzi answered truthfully, "There are still more than 300 million!"

Three million was a huge sum of money for an ordinary person in the 300s.

However, for a major power, this seems like a drop in the ocean.

A security team of 500 people, the maintenance of the auction house, and hundreds of children in the orphanage—everyone was starving and needed to eat.

This 300 million can only last for a while.

Big Gold Tooth suggested, "We've been expanding too fast lately. I recommend we slow down for now..."

Before Big Gold Tooth could finish speaking, Su Mo shook his head, "It's better to increase revenue than to cut costs..."

"The auction house is already operational, so let's prepare for the first auction..."

"Let's take this opportunity to let others know about our reputation!"

Chapter 141: The First Auction

More than ten days later.

As news of the first auction held by the Su Family Auction House spread like wildfire, the newly erected high-rise building in Yanjing immediately became the focus of public discussion.

The stone lions at the entrance of the auction house came from the Crescent Hotel!

Rare treasures may appear at the auction!

Unbelievable news spread throughout the entire land of Yanhuang, even attracting many Hong Kong businessmen and tycoons.

.........

On the top floor of the Su Building, Han Shuna complimented, "Mr. Su, you have achieved so much at such a young age. Your future is limitless!"

After dealing with Uncle Ming's matter, Han Shuna returned to Yanjing, intending to continue managing the antique shop.

However, seeing that Su Mo and others were doing very well in their businesses, Han Shuna was not the kind of woman who was content with mediocrity. She hardened her heart and brought all her belongings to join Su Mo.

Su Mo was in dire need of soldiers and supplies, so he naturally accepted all comers.
