On April 25, 1979, it was just evening, and the weather in Los Angeles began to warm up. As long as you wear a slightly thicker long sleeve, you won’t feel cold outside.

Standing next to the window of the school classroom, Duqi's eyes swept across the playground where he usually uses for activities next to the teaching building.

At this time, there were many students on the school’s playground, some were playing basketball, some were learning baseball and American football, and the scene was very lively.

However, the most eye-catching one is the cheerleaders who are practicing near the playground. They are wearing some thin white navel tops and red pleated short skirts. They dance their bodies with youthful and beautiful appearances, which attract a lot of attention every time.

You can see many male classmates gathered not far away, pointing at these female team members, discussing with an excited look of which girl has the best figure. The girl has a beautiful face. These beautiful girls who are full of youthful vitality and wantonly revealing their own body that has begun to develop. They are always the most attractive to the middle school campus where adolescent boys are everywhere.

Retracting his eyes to the cheerleaders who were rehearsing downstairs, Duqi began to pack his schoolbag. The school badge on his chest was written with the name "qidu", which was translated into Chinese as "Qi Du".

From the first day of elementary school, the teacher asked Chinese students to think of English names, which was so convenient to call them. After all, many Chinese pronunciations are really unfamiliar to Americans and are also inconvenient to memorize.

Fortunately, Duches' name is only a single pronunciation, and it doesn't seem strange to pronounce it in the United States. In the end, Duches did not give him an English name, and his Chinese name was still accepted. Compared with those Chinese who gave him names such as John, Jones, or Anderson, Duches felt pretty good.

Of course, except for the family or Chinese people you know, Du Qi, most of the teachers and classmates in the school call him Qi Du or Qi.

From the perspective of Chinese people, Duqi can be called handsome and handsome, with soft facial features, and a height of 1.85 meters taller than ordinary Chinese people, but this is Los Angeles, USA.

Perhaps most of the students here are open, and it is common to start dating by the age of fourteen or five, but those cheerleaders who are very popular in school will not be the impression that Duqi is handsome or beautiful at first sight.

Because of some differences in aesthetics, coupled with cultural heritage and living habits, many Americans who see many Americans may have face-blindness, and the same is true for Americans to see Chinese. In addition, even the discrimination still exists twenty or thirty years later, yellow people are already at a disadvantage in this regard.

And in the habits of Chinese people, people do not like to show themselves hard. Chinese people with good grades are often considered nerds, boring, rigid, and poor grades have a lower sense of existence.

In the eyes of most cheerleaders, Duches is a nerd, and he is also a Grandet who wants money. Because of his good academic performance and is well-known throughout the school, he usually asks him to help with tutoring, writing papers, and doing homework.

Duqi didn't care much about the ideas of these female players. He was a reborn man. He died in 2019 due to an accident. Then, somehow, he got some inexplicable memories and was reborn in the United States again in 1961.

The past eighteen years of experience tell him that America is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor, and Duche happened to be reborn as a poor man, so he had to try his best to make money.

When Du Qi was reborn, his inexplicable memory gave him a technique called "Star Map". However, so far, after more than ten years of practice, he has accumulated not much true energy in his body. At most, he has stronger strength, better memory, better physical and mental health, and he has no other effect. He will still bleed when he is slashed by a knife, let alone bullets.

The school he works at is Loyola Private High School in Los Angeles. Duches has made a lot of effort to attend this school, but in fact, the Duches family did not live in Los Angeles eight years ago.

The incident happened in 1971. At that time, Duqi's home was still in Chinatown, New York. The ten-year-old Duqi once made efforts to make money and applied for an international patent for the Rubik's Cube.

In his previous life, the Hungarian Erno Rubik was nominally invented the Rubik's Cube.

He was a sculptor and sculptor. In order to better teach students, he invented the Rubik's Cube. Although he realized the business opportunities and successfully launched the Rubik's Cube in a toy store in Budapest, it did not spread internationally due to a series of reasons such as sales and iron curtains.

Until a British toy dealer saw the Rubik's Cube, he noticed the business opportunity, so he found Rubik and wanted to cooperate.

But Rubik only applied for domestic Hungary patents at that time, but did not apply for international patents, and the application deadline had already passed at that time.

In addition, the Rubik's Cube is not a high-tech thing. A chemist named Galary Nicholas in Massachusetts even applied for some similar patents in 1972. He used magnets to combine the small squares together.

Later, the toy dealer had a brainstorm and seized the loophole to apply for Rubik's Cube copyright, but it was successful later. So the original third-level Rubik's Cube became their exclusive product. Even though there were constant pirated versions, in theory, only their third-level Rubik's Cube was the genuine one.

In this life, Duqi seized the opportunity and used the tips he had accumulated since childhood to do some odd jobs to successfully apply for a third-level Rubik's Cube, as well as the patents for the fourth-5, six-7 and thirteen-level Rubik's Cube.

Du Qi was very proud of this at that time, but he did not expect that this would have a significant impact on his family in this life!

After applying for the patent, Duqi first took out the patent for the third-level Rubik's Cube and encouraged his parents to cooperate with others to produce the Rubik's Cube with this patent. Finally, a New York toy manufacturer discovered a business opportunity. The condition he proposed was to purchase the relevant patent for $500,000.

You should know that it was still in 1972, and 40,000 US dollars was enough to buy an excellent property in the middle-class community. Even if a millionaire was still mentioned as news twenty years later, 500,000 US dollars was definitely a huge sum.

Duqi's parents tend to agree, but Duqi believes that the deal is a big loss, but his arm can't twist his thighs. He was still eleven years old at the time and it was difficult to oppose the decisions made by his parents, unless he directly sued his parents and insisted on not selling the patents. Even so, without mentioning the cost of hiring a lawyer, Duqi's chances of winning are extremely low.

Moreover, if Duqi wants to sell the patent or cooperate with those toy companies, the consent of his parents who are guardians is indispensable, so Duqi finally compromised.

Of course, Duqi's persistence is not useless at all. Perhaps in order to avoid the long dreams of the night, the boss of the toy company raised the price. The final agreement between the two parties was 600,000 US dollars, and the toy company obtained a patent for the third-level Rubik's Cube.

In the end, Du Qi could only comfort himself. Just in case, he just took out the patent for the third-level Rubik's Cube. The other Rubik's Cube are still in his hands, so he still has a chance next.

Suddenly, he received a huge sum of 600,000 US dollars. After discussing, his parents planned to find a house in the middle-class community in New York. Then the whole family moved there, but they did not expect that before the house had time to choose, the news that Duqi's family had made a fortune was leaked, which caused trouble.

In the 1970s, New York gangs were rampant, and Chinatown was a well-known poor neighborhood.

In the United States, the cost of public facilities such as public security, sanitation, road maintenance in the community is linked to taxation. According to the income of real estate and residents, most of the taxes are invested in the community, so you can imagine the security of Chinatown.

Here, killing people for dozens of dollars is not news, let alone a total of 600,000 US dollars. Some gang members and even some ordinary families here will react when they hear that the Du family will have this huge sum of money.

During the party, the four gang members who were eyeing this amount of money were dispatched. Thanks to Du Qi's keen senses after practicing "Star Map". When he went to a convenience store to buy things, he discovered an abnormality between several people around him. He made a fuss in advance, alarmed the neighbors around him and scared the four people away. Otherwise, the Du family would definitely suffer a great loss.
