128: Future technology disguised as modern black technology
At noon, I went with Hoang Dang Minh Thu to a Vietnamese restaurant in Tay Ho District for a cozy lunch.
Hoang Dang Minh Thu, satisfied from body to soul, purred contentedly in Li Qinghe's arms like a big cat.
"Brother Qinghe, I haven't been this happy in a long time." The restaurant was air-conditioned, so Hoang Dang Minh Thu could cuddle up very close to Li Qinghe.
Although she had spent the whole morning in the villa studying the renovation and enjoying the scenery, Hoang Dang Minh Thu still felt that the half-day had been very fulfilling.
In the afternoon, after dropping off a reluctant Hoang Dang Minh Thu back at her apartment, Li Qinghe sent her 100 million vietnamese dong as pocket money; Li Qinghe treated all his girlfriends, who didn't have much earning power, the same way.
With the growth in the number of followers, Li Qinghe was currently financially comfortable; he didn't run a factory or make large investments, and apart from building a house for Nguyen Thi Linh's family in Nghe An, he didn't have any major expenses.
Therefore, he still had several million US dollars in savings, plus a sustainable growing income of over 200,000 dragon country currency every day.
Li Qinghe was very well-off.
After spending the morning with Hoang Dang Minh Thu, this well-behaved yet seductive little enchantress fully displayed the results of her upbringing in a wealthy family.
Both emotional value and sensory enjoyment were spot on.
Regarding this, Li Qinghe only wanted to use one word to evaluate it: "Awesome." If he had to use two words, it would be "Very awesome."
But if he had to use three words to evaluate it... That would be... "Do it yourself."
Returning from Tay Ho District, Li Qinghe went home and took a nap. He wasn't tired, but this way of resting allowed his mind to relax so it wouldn't be constantly tense, and he slept until five in the afternoon before getting up.
When he opened his eyes, he was full of energy, both physically and mentally at his peak.
Changing into a simple floral shirt and shorts, with the half-open collar revealing his solid, bulky chest muscles, Li Qinghe stood in front of the mirror, raised his finger, and simulated firing a shot at the mirror: "I'm going out, watch your girlfriends."
From this moment on, the camera started working, clearly capturing the man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and mantis-like legs in the mirror.
Full of energy, Li Qinghe drove the wrangler to pick up Lao Guang and the others nearby.
He had previously agreed to treat them, but he would be filming the whole process; the brothers didn't care at all about showing their faces.
They were very willing to film videos with a mid-tier influencer like Li Qinghe.
It could be used as bragging rights in the circle: "I have a great relationship with so-and-so, we were researching cars together in Vietnam. Let me tell you, given the road conditions in Vietnam, small motorcycles are still the way to go."
These brothers were staying in a small hotel in the old town of Hoan Kiem District.
When Li Qinghe went upstairs, Lao Guang and the others were grooming themselves with the room door open, slathering handfuls of hair gel onto their heads like it was free, wishing they could make a fly slip if it landed on them.
"Oh, Brother Qinghe is here!" Lao Lian was the first to spot Li Qinghe at the doorway and greeted him with a smile.
"Damn, what kind of black technology is this?"
Lao Lian discovered the two split-lens cameras hovering over Li Qinghe's shoulders, disguised as common handheld drones.
"I had them customized for me by a big shot back home. I've invested my entire net worth into these."
Facing Lao Lian and the others' curious gazes, Li Qinghe packaged the future smart cameras as something else.
Upon learning that Li Qinghe had spent over ten million on the control backend for these two things, Lao Lian and the others, who had originally wanted to say they would get one if they had the chance, all fell silent.
At least the price deterred them, letting these brothers know that this thing could only be an exclusive item.
Fortunately, black technology has been emerging one after another in the country in recent years; some functions of the two micro-drones on Li Qinghe's shoulders could have already been achieved by domestic drones.
So the three brothers quickly accepted the existence of the drones. Given the current trend of technological explosion, many things that people haven't seen before are gradually entering people's field of vision.
Da Hei, who was standing in the bathroom combing his hair in the mirror, threw the comb in his hand: "Sigh, I originally wanted to make myself look handsome, but thinking about Qinghe being nearby, no matter how I dress, I'll just be a foil. Forget it, this is fine."
Seeing Da Hei give up, Lao Guang and Lao Lian also stopped what they were doing.
The three of them couldn't be called ugly, but their looks were just standard for passersby. Standing next to a human hormone like Li Qinghe, the gap was a distance that even undergoing surgery in South Korea couldn't make up for.
The three of them took their phones, pocketed some cash, and went out with Li Qinghe. Although Li Qinghe said he was treating them, they still brought enough "combat funds" for themselves.
They couldn't possibly see a girl they wanted to take out and then have to ask Li Qinghe for money to get a room, right?
If they dared to do that, the domestic internet would immediately be feasting on the gossip, and it would be difficult for them to take on ads or make any money in the future.
Going downstairs and seeing Li Qinghe's red wrangler, these brothers all knew that buying a car in Vietnam was very expensive; the price of the same car could buy almost two in the country.
So Li Qinghe's strength was very strong.
Sitting in the wrangler, Li Qinghe chatted with these brothers for a few minutes and learned that they were all video content creators, though they didn't have many followers.
Lao Lian, who had the most followers, only had a little over 20,000.
Lao Lian was a content creator who had already traveled to several countries in Southeast Asia and deeply experienced the Boten housing in Laos; even such a creator only had over 20,000 followers, which ultimately came down to not having much money.
Just like Li Qinghe before, he could take fans to see the world, but he couldn't let the fans in front of the camera experience that feeling of spending money like water, so the satisfaction was a bit lacking.
During the conversation, Li Qinghe also reflected on his own filming path; perhaps it was too beautiful, all filled with the taste of sweet love, but it didn't present the true human nature and desires in his works.
Then starting today, he would add some things related to the nightlife and glitz.
Li Qinghe was also considering whether to add some generous and lavish content, but then he thought, the divine crane has boundless magic power; even if he filmed such things, he couldn't publish them, so he'd better honestly stick to his existing niche.
Letting the brothers back home open their eyes and see some exotic customs could also be considered accumulating virtue.
Because they would inevitably be drinking at night, Li Qinghe took the three brothers to a Vietnamese barbecue restaurant to replenish some protein.
People who run around outside all year round basically don't eat vegetables if there is meat, but the barbecue restaurant had vegetables to go with it, so the taste wasn't so greasy. Paired with iced green tea, everyone felt the taste was good.
The four men ate the meat heartily, and Li Qinghe told everyone to eat freely. The pork belly portion at this barbecue restaurant was quite sufficient, enough to fill the stomachs of four big men.
Finally, when checking out, they spent a total of two million vietnamese dong, equivalent to over 500 dragon country currency, which worked out to a little over 100 per person, which was quite affordable.
With their hunger and thirst satisfied, it was only 6:30 in the evening. Many shops on Jiaopen Street only opened at 5:30 in the afternoon, and some girls didn't go that early.
Going now was a bit too early, and there wouldn't be enough choices.
In Vietnam, there is a huge difference between the environment of North Vietnam and South Vietnam.
In Saigon, South Vietnam, there are no time limits for the entertainment industry; as long as you want to play, staying up all night is no problem.
But in Hanoi, after all, it is the capital of Vietnam, so things are still a bit veiled in this regard.
Therefore, most of the entertainment industry here basically closes by 11 p.m. That is to say, after 11 p.m., the streets of Hanoi become a bit quiet.
And even for the bars and KTVs that are more lively late at night, they basically only extend their operating hours until 2 a.m. at most.
The four big men chatted at the barbecue restaurant until eight o'clock before setting off for Jiaopen Street.
