The one who provided him with financial support and strategic ideas was Mr. Pan's year-old handover to Brother Xu. Brother Xu is more than 20 years older than Mr. Pan, but he admires Mr. Pan's business acumen very much and introduces Mr. Pan to many friends around him.

After the tourism transportation company was started, under the guidance of Brother Xu, Mr. Pan partnered with Brother Rong and others to open a farm park on the outskirts of the city. The park has a variety of recreational facilities for company team building and school teachers and students, as well as camping areas and farm stays for visitors to enjoy.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, a literati named Wu Zhaoqian was implicated in a scientific research fraud case and was exiled to Ningguta. The place where he was exiled was a remote and extremely cold place, full of wind and snow, and the sky was freezing, which was simply hell on earth for Wu Zhaoqian. He has a friend named Gu Zhenguan, who is very knowledgeable, but unfortunately he is a descendant of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, so he was naturally not used by the Qing court. Even if he had the heart to rescue Wu Zhaoqian, he was powerless.

It wasn't until later that Gu Zhenguan got acquainted with Nalan Xingde, although Nalan Xingde was born in a famous family, but he did not have the flying and domineering of the second generation of officials, he treated people modestly and made friends with many cloth literati. After Gu Zhenguan and Nalan Xingde became confidants and friends, they asked each other to find a way to rescue their friend Wu Zhaoqian. Nalan Xingde's father, Mingzhu, is a powerful minister in the court, and Nalan Xingde naturally has the ability and resources to deal with this matter. Under the operation of Nalan Xingde and others, Wu Zhaoqian was finally pardoned and was able to return to the Central Plains. After returning to the Central Plains, Wu Zhaoqian and Nalan Xingde also became friends.

Sometimes, friends are passed on one by one, and eventually form their own network.
