Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 878 - Shaking the Whole Country
Shanghai is a prosperous and bustling cosmopolitan city and is a financial hub.
However, the eyes of people across the country are now focused on this city due to the astronomical offer of Grand Fortune Jewelry. The main media of the country flocked to this bustling city while many fans were fond of collecting antiques, people who liked jade, experts who studied jade carvings, etc, and even some businessmen came to the city one after another.
As for Paradise Manor, this place of dining, leisure and entertainment is full of tourists in recent days as many people have filled the surrounding hotels and cottages, such that the available rooms cannot fully meet the demand.
For people who cannot find accommodation, they simply set up a tent outside Paradise Manor while waiting for people who have twelve zodiac jade carvings to appear.
“Who will become a rich billionaire?”
It was a widely spread and very popular topic today.
Hao Lei was now inside the VIP Paradise Manor building. The name is quite sensational and quite famous now. He sat by the window, frowned and looked distressed as he watched the crowd flow outside without saying a word for a long time.
Crunched…
The door opened and Chi Nan walked in with a small smile as she looked at Hao Lei who turned around in surprise. She spoke with a smile, “How does it feel to be a big star, Sis Lili? Is it interesting to enjoy the sense of fame? ”
Hao Lei forced a wry smile. “If I had known this would turn into a carnival of this kind, I would not have agreed to keep an eye on this matter when Boss asked me to do it — even if I was beaten to death. Do you think I'm enjoying this? It's just torturous; it scares Me that this will affect all the tasks I'll do in the future, you know. By the way, why are you here? Didn't you always cultivate in seclusion at our Jingmen Island headquarters? ”
The smile on Chi Nan's face grew thicker and she hugged him gently. He gently smiled and said, “I can't always isolate myself to cultivate, can I? It is natural to go out and get some fresh air. I never thought that I'd hear this interesting thing when I just got back to Shanghai. ”
“Damn it, you're just arrogant.” Hao Lei rolled his eyes and replied quickly.
“Why should I laugh at you?” Chi Nan replied with a gentle smile, “I sympathize with you. Ha ha ha..”
Hao Lei thought for a moment and said, “Well, how about I talk to Boss to give you a job here? That won't be a problem since you will be working on behalf of Grand Fortune Jewelry. I just need to announce to the public that you are the person they need to search for about the twelve zodiac jade carvings. ”
“No No No!”
The smile on Chi Nan's face froze as she waved repeatedly, “My sister Lili, please let go of me, will you? I'm not fit to show my face to the public! Besides, the Boss has given a task to you and you have become a famous person, so how dare I go against his words? Boss will definitely scold us. ”
“I'm so unlucky, sigh!” Hao Lei shook his head and sighed. “Yeah, Boss really made me stand up for him.”
“By the way, Sis, what will Boss look for these twelve zodiac jade carvings? 100 Million US dollars for a piece is just an astronomical price. Does he think that having too much money is a burden and just wants to burn it? ”
Hao Lei hesitated for a moment before he replied in a low voice, “I also don't know much about this, even Mo Awu didn't dare to ask about it. Nana, you are also well aware of the Boss character, aren't you? Don't talk too much if he doesn't want to tell us personally. ”
“I know that,” replied Chi Nan quickly with a nod.
“Given what I know about him, he will never do anything for no reason like burning money, Nana. Even if he has made a fortune recently, “ said Hao Lei,” I think he has a definite goal for this matter. Either that, or there is something about this zodiac jade carving that is so incredible, that 100 million US dollars should be well spent. ”
“Ya, Boss never make a loss in business, which I know,” approve Chi Nan. “By the way, you just said that he just hit a gold mine. What exactly is that? ”
“Well, it could be said that it was because of the Salzburg vampire clan from Europe. They made a deal with him and Boss sold him a hundred medicinal pills, ” Hao Lei replied with a smile. “You know what? They pay 200 million GBP for each, or pay with equivalent goods and useful resources for cultivation. ”
200 Million GBP?
Despite knowing some significant big business transactions, Chi Nan was still shocked by the news. The deals he learned in the past are worth tens of billions of Chinese yuan. But a business deal with 200 million GBP for each pill for a total of two billion GBP was unheard of even for him.
“Sis Lili, is this vampire clan too generous and easy to cheat? Why would they spend so much money just to buy a hundred medicinal pills? Are they so rich and confused to spend their money? ”
“You know, the medicinal pills Boss took were very helpful to the vampires. I heard that Shanjenna, who used to live in Paradise Club, also benefited greatly from it. ”Hao Lei smiled.
Chi Nan suddenly understood and sighed, “Bloodkin doesn't seem to stop spending their capital for the sake of becoming stronger.”
The entrance of Paradise Manor.
Yang Pengchao and Yue Li gasped for air after running. They had not had breakfast, or lunch, and the hot weather made them hungry, thirsty, and tired. Yang Pengchao was holding a black leather bag as he broke through the crowd of media workers outside with Yue Li to come to the gate blocked by dozens of security guards.
“Two of you, please show VIP membership card from Paradise Manor.”
Yang Pengchao and Yue Li exchanged glances and said doubtfully, “Halo, we don't have a VIP card for your place.”
“That's no problem,” Jin Shi said. “You only need to pay two million and you can apply for a VIP membership card from Paradise Manor. Of course, your money will also be stored in your VIP card and you can spend it here. ”
Two million yuan?
Yang Pengchao quietly slapped his tongue as he looked at the indifferent Jin Shi. He quickly turned his head to look at the hundreds of media workers around him and then whispered, “Actually, we are here to sell some things. Wasn't Hao Lei, Grand Fortune Jewelry's General Manager, currently inside this Paradise Manor? We are looking for it .. ”
Jin Shi's expression immediately moved and he said, “Please come with me, you two.”
Ten minutes later, Jin Shi brought Yang Pengchao and Yue Li into the VIP room temporarily and said, “I just told Manager Hao and he will be coming soon. You should rest here first. ”
“Thank you,” said Yang Pengchao and Yue Li hurriedly.
Both of them were from the lower classes; how could they come to such a luxurious place before? They were completely dumbfounded along the way here. When Jin Shi left and they were the only people left in the VIP room several hundred square meters away, Yang Pengchao turned to look at the tea table in front of the large sofa with some cakes already served on it.
Snarling…
Yang Pengchao's stomach growled and he looked at Yue Li with embarrassment. Then he asked doubtfully, “Are you hungry? There are cakes, pastries, and tea on the table; you must eat them first if you are hungry. ”
Yue Li held back the hunger as she shook her head and said, “Don't be eaten, huh? If we eat it here and we have to pay, we will .. ”
Yang Pengchao steeled his heart and cut it off by pulling it onto the sofa and sitting down. Then he took two plates of cake and drank and said, “It's okay. As long as they buy my jade monkey, won't we have money to spend here? Besides, you're hungry and I can still afford these cakes and drinks even if the jade monkeys aren't sold later. ”
“Alright, then,” Yue Li said while feeling warm inside as she received the plate and remained silent afterwards.
Crunched…
The VIP room door opened and Hao Lei walked inside with the four burly experts from the Everlasting Feast Hall in black suits. When he saw them hurriedly standing up from the sofa holding a plate of cookies and drinks, a shocked look appeared in his eyes as he smiled at them and said, “How are you, the two of you? I'm Hao Lei, General Manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry. I've just heard that you have one of the twelve zodiacal jade carvings; is this true?”
The Pengchao laid the dishes. He was a bit anxious when he saw Hao Lei who had a dignified aura and came along with the burly man who was wearing a black suit, yet he still braced himself forward and replied, “That's right, I have a jade monkey.”
“Please sit. No need to be nervous, “ Hao Lei said with a smile.
“How can I call you, Mister?” Hao Lei asked with a smile.
“I Yang Pengchao and he is Yue Li,” said Yang Pengchao in a hurry.
“Alright, Mr. Yang. You mentioned that you have a jade monkey. Can I see it? ”Ask Hao Lei with a smile.
Yang Pengchao hesitated and did not immediately take out the jade monkey, but instead asked, “The newspaper said that you are willing to pay 100 million US dollars to buy one of the twelve zodiac jade carvings, is this ... is this true ? If I give you the jade monkey, what if you don't give me the money? ”
“Pfft ..” Hao Lei chuckled and said, “Sadik, you don't have to worry about that problem. The most important feature of My Boss that never lacks is his integrity and good faith. I'll definitely pay you 100 million US dollars as long as the jade monkey you brought is all my Boss needs. We'll even keep your identity a secret for your safety. ”
“Really?” Yang Pengchao was surprised.
“Our words are more valuable than gold,” Hao Lei said with a nod.
While Yang Pengchao was preparing to pick up the jade monkey from the black leather bag, Yue Li, who was next to him, suddenly asked, “Sis Hao Lei, You just mentioned that the person who wants to buy twelve zodiac jade carvings is yours Boss? But I checked your information on the Internet; you should be the General Manager of Grand Fortune Jewelry! ”
“You're still a student, aren't you?” Hao Lei smiled and said, “It is the General Manager and Big Boss are two different concepts. I'm only responsible for managing Grand Fortune Jewelry as its General Manager, but I'm not the owner, nor the Boss in the truest sense. Of course, our Boss will meet you if your jade monkey is real. ”
Yue Li suddenly understood and nodded in embarrassment.
Yang Pengchao took the jade monkey from his bag and handed it to Hao Lei. “This is a jade monkey. I bought it for 200 yuan before. ”
“200 yuan?”
Hao Lei was stunned as his eyes lingered on the jade monkey for a few minutes, then took it in his hand and carefully sized it up. She had seen the dragon and tiger jade carvings from Tang Xiu and learned from him that every zodiac jade carving had a gray stamp on its head.
