At this moment, Gu Zhuxuan was relatively down and out.

Or rather, he was depressed.

He lived in the slums of Shanghai.

It was very dirty and messy.

The people who lived here were considered to be at the bottom of Shanghai. They were poor and destitute, and they did the lowest level of work.

When Su Zheng appeared in his brand new Ford, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Both adults and children stopped to watch as if they were admiring an unknown object. Their eyes were filled with curiosity.

To them, cars were something that they could only dream of and had never even seen before.

Very quickly.

Su Zheng drove to Gu Zhuxuan's residence.

"Hello, is Master Gu back?”

"Not yet. I guess I'll have to wait."

"Alright, I'll wait."

Then, Su Zheng sat in the car and waited for Gu Zhuxuan.

About half an hour later.

Gu Zhuxuan pulled the rickshaw back and saw a brand new Ford sedan. He was also puzzled.

After seeing that it was Su Zheng who came to the door, Gu Zhuxuan was flattered. He quickly came to Su Zheng's car and greeted him,"Boss Su, why are you here?"

"Old Gu, didn't I tell you that I'd come back for you?"”

"Boss Su, I really didn't expect you to come back!”

"What?" Aren't you going to invite me to your house?"

"Boss Su, my house is too small, dark, and dirty.”

"Am I such a person?" I don't mind."

Since Su Zheng had said so, Gu Zhuxuan nodded and said,"Okay, then follow me, Boss Su."

Soon after.

Gu Zhuxuan brought Su Zheng to his house.

This was a small attic in the slums. The attic was not big, and the environment was not very good. It was relatively dark.

There was no furniture in the attic, just a bed and a few chairs.

This was the life of the bottom class in Shanghai.

Gu Zhuxuan wiped the chair with all his might and warmly invited Su Zheng to sit down."Boss Su, this place is too dirty!”

Su Zheng did not mind sitting down and looked around.

So this was where the future tycoon of Jiangbei would live.

Gu Zhuxuan wanted to pour Su Zheng a glass of water but realized that it was not boiled.

Su Zheng looked at the somewhat embarrassed Gu Zhuxuan and said,"Old Gu, there's no need to be busy. I'm here to talk business with you.”

Gu Zhuxuan smiled awkwardly and said,"Boss Su, I'm sorry. I wanted to pour you a glass of water, but there's no water."”

"Boss Su, if you have anything to say, just say it. I, Gu Zhuxuan, will do anything I can.”

Su Zheng looked at Gu Zhuxuan and asked,"Old Gu, what are your plans now?”

Gu Zhuxuan was silent for a moment before slowly saying,"I didn't know that the boss of our car shop was going to sell the car shop. I don't even know who the new boss is.”

Selling the rickshaw shop?

Su Zheng was stunned,"This is a good opportunity."

According to the development of history, Gu Zhuxuan's boss was from Germany. Later, the boss was about to return to China, so Gu Zhuxuan gathered some money and took over the rickshaw company to start his business.

Because Shanghai Bund was more chaotic, Gu Zhuxuan began to deal with the Qing Gang in order to allow his company to operate smoothly.

Now that his boss was about to sell the car company, Su Zheng felt that this was just the right time to support Gu Zhuxuan.

"Old Gu, have you ever thought about taking over your boss 'car shop?"”

"Take over the boss 'car shop?" Gu Zhuxuan shook his head and said,"Boss Su, stop joking."”

"With this little money in my hands, it would be difficult to even buy a rickshaw, let alone buy a car.”

A rickshaw was a two-wheeled passenger transport tool that was pulled by human power. Its predecessor was called the " Japanese car ", also known as the rickshaw. It was created around 1870 and imported into Shanghai from the Wei Nation around January 1874.

Currently, the price of a rickshaw was 100 dollars.

If a rickshaw driver worked hard enough, he could earn about 60 yuan a month. He had to pay 20 yuan to the rickshaw company, and another 10 yuan for penalties and protection fees. In the end, he had about 30 yuan left. After deducting the cost of living, there was basically not much money left.

Therefore, Gu Zhuxuan really could not afford a rickshaw.

"Don't you still have me?" I'll help you buy a car and let you be the boss of a car shop!”

As soon as she said this, Gu Zhuxuan was stunned…
