“What I would use them for.” Hong Dali grinned. “My mission is to squander, not to conquer the world. In fact, I wouldn’t be happy if you ask me to do other things. I don’t have anything much to do tomorrow...”

Upon hearing that Hong Dali was free tomorrow, the Bureau Chief immediately got excited, but then was almost angered to death by what Hong Dali said later. “But didn’t you disallow me to go out?”

“That was previously! Previously!” The Bureau Chief raged. “Tomorrow, take the plane with me there. We’re not going by car!”

Hong Dali humphed. “Alright, then we’ll take the plane there...”

He’d definitely be angered to death if he continued to stay with this fellow! The Bureau Chief decisively stood up. “Enough chatting. Remember, I can make arrangements for those 3,000 super soldiers to conceal themselves within the troop of city guards, but you’re not allowed to use them. Or else, if a problem occurs, it’ll be very difficult to solve it!”

“Alright, alright.” Hong Dali twitched his lips. “Speaking of which, Uncle Chief, when will the aviation carriers arrive? I’m waiting to set sail. Aiya, the sunlight, beach, and bikinis... Ah right. Uncle Chief, aren’t you going with us to take a look?”

“Rascal, stop trying to tempt me!” The Bureau Chief slammed the door and left. “I’m already so old, what sunlight, beach and bikinis, you’re not harboring any good intentions!”

Shanghai Tianhai City, Door to Heaven.

Secretary Xiao Liu gently pushed open the door of the room where Hong Weiguo was in. Hong Weiguo was leaning on the sofa and looking at some documents. Upon seeing him entering, he smiled and said, “Xiao Liu, is there any good news again? From which side?”

“CEO Hong,” Xiao Liu stood in front of Hong Weiguo, and the expression on his face was inexplicable. It seemed surprised, happy, helpless, and out of the blue all mixed together. To conclude, it was an extremely weird expression. He cautiously said, “There is good news, but there is bad news as well. I don’t know which one to say first...”

“Ah?” Xiao Liu didn’t usually speak that way. Hong Weiguo felt strange and asked, “There is both good and bad news? Then let me hear the good one first. It’s definitely news from Dali’s side, right?”

“This... It’s like this.” Xiao Liu’s forehead started to soak with cold sweat. “Young Master Dali has sold the toy factory and electronics company that he’d previously bought, for... for 2 billion...”

“How much?!” Hong Weiguo’s stared with wide eyes. “2 billion! Back when he took over those two business projects, he’d only spent 50 million, right? And now he sold it for 2 billion?! This price is not bad, does it mean that he’s not planning to handle these two projects anymore?”

“That...” Xiao Liu’s face was soaked in cold sweat. “Just now, Young Master Dali asked Miss Xiaoyi to buy two companies again...”

“He bought companies again? What company?” Hong Weiguo drank a mouthful of tea, feeling a little strange. “Could it be that Dali has gotten addicted to reselling companies?”

“Young Master Dali... He... He...” Currently, Secretary Xiao Liu wanted to laugh but couldn’t, and he took quite a while before he continued, “Young Master Dali has bought a toy factory and electronics company again, and he spent a total of 60 million...”

PU—!!!

Hong Weiguo almost choked to death on his tea. “This small rascal!” After saying this, Hong Weiguo roared with laughter. “Looks like I’m a little inflexible in my thinking. After he sold them he can buy them again. I’m used to thinking that after you sell something, that’s it. Haha, interesting!”

Two companies bought over for 50 million had been sold for 2 billion. Actually, this wasn’t a big deal, but the key problem was that this fellow spent another 60 million and bought two companies again—are you spamming on getting more money?

Probably after that fellow who spent 2 billion to buy his companies got to know about this, he’d definitely be angered to the point of vomiting blood...

“Have you inquired into the one who bought the companies?” Hong Weiguo asked.

“Currently, I haven’t found out. But there shouldn’t be many companies locally which would be able to afford such big spending.” Xiao Liu slowly replied.

Hong Weiguo tapped his fingers on the table, and as he did so, he said, “Dali’s toy factory mainly manufactures cars and planes. Coupled with an electronics company... Could it be that Toyoda Conglomerate and Sun Yuanzhou are behind this?” The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Hong Weiguo roared with laughter. “This brat, he’s done quite well regarding this matter, haha. Good!”

Others painstakingly earned a little money and would treat it like a treasure. But Hong Dali, instead, spent so much money at once, and for some reason, he’d earned a large sum of money again. 2 billion, it wasn’t a small figure no matter what.

Hong Weiguo laughed for a while again, then he looked towards Secretary Xiao Liu. “What about the bad news? What is it?”

Upon mention of the bad news, cold sweat started dripping down from secretary Xiao Liu’s forehead. Hong Weiguo felt strange and asked, “What’s the situation? Why are you sweating so much? This room is not warm, could it be that this bad news has a very big impact? Rest assured, now that our business services are all stable, it won’t get too bad. Just say whatever you have to say.”

“CEO Hong, Young Master Dali... He...” Secretary Xiao Liu fiercely swallowed his saliva. “The bad news is that Young Master Dali has spent all the money he got from selling the companies!”

“What?!” Hong Weiguo stared with wide eyes. “The full 2 billion?!”

“More accurately, it’s 2.5 billion...” Xiao Liu felt that his entire being was uncomfortable. “Young Master Dali spend 1.5 billion to buy two retired Merikan aviation carriers, saying it was to take advantage of the summer vacation to set off to sea and travel...”

Upon hearing Xiao Liu’s words, Hong Weiguo also felt that his entire being was uncomfortable. “What did you say?! You said that Dali spent 1.5 billion to buy two retired aviation carriers? And his purpose is to set off to sea and travel?!”

“Y... Yes...” Xiao Liu’s forehead brimmed with cold sweat. “Young Master Dali said that only driving aviation carriers to go traveling would be exuberant enough...”

“God...” Hong Weiguo covered his face. “What exactly is this small rascal trying to do? Buying aviation carriers to go traveling! That’s aviation carriers! Not yachts! What would happen if he accidentally goes into the maritime area of some country and gets seen as an enemy?!”

“That...” Xiao Liu hurriedly persuaded. “CEO Hong, all countries should have records of retired aviation carriers, it probably won’t be seen as launching a military attack. Young Master Dali should... probably... perhaps won’t be attacked...”

Now, Hong Weiguo really felt like dying. He only drove a 4 million Soaring Angel when he went out, but now, this prodigal Hong Dali directly drove aviation carriers worth 750 million out to travel. This fellow was really squandering at an increasingly larger scale!

“Forget it, let him be...” Hong Weiguo wore an expression full of defeat. “He can do whatever he wants to, as long as he’s fine. What about the other billion, what did that small rascal do with it?”

“The other billion...” Upon mentioning this, Secretary Xiao Liu’s expression underwent a change again, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “Young Master Dali exchanged the remaining billion into gold. According to the current gold market price, it’s approximately 40 yuan per gram, so one billion worth of gold would be exactly 25 tons of gold...”

“25 tons of gold...” Hong Weiguo covered his face. “What’s this small rascal buying so much gold for? Recently, the prices of gold have been dropping! Previously it was around 60 yuan per gram...”

“CEO Hong, I feel...” Xiao Liu thought for a while, then slowly said, “I feel that there are benefits for Young Master Dali to do so. This should be considered good news too...”

“Ah, what good news?” Upon hearing that there was another good news, Hong Weiguo was evidently stunned. “The price of gold has increased?”

This period of time, the price of gold had been dropping steeply. The main reason was because of the fluctuations in the exchange rate of the USD. Within less than a months’ time, the price of gold had dropped by close to one-third, from 60 yuan down to 40 yuan per gram. But judging from what Xiao Liu meant, could it be that because of Dali’s bulk purchase this time, it had resulted in the price of gold to increase in value?

“Yes.” Xiao Liu wiped his cold sweat. “Currently, the price of gold is not dropping anymore, and it has shown some signs of increasing. If the gold continues to increase in value...” Speaking up to this point, Xiao Liu looked at Hong Weiguo and whispered, “CEO Hong, think about it, with Young Master Dali’s unmatched luck, if the price of gold really increases...”

“Makes sense! Makes a lot of sense!” Hong Weiguo touched his chin, then firmly decided. “I’ll go find Old Tie and Old Liu right away. Damn it, if worse comes to worst, I’ll just buy more. Anyway, I reckon that the price of gold won’t fall anymore!”

Xiao Liu’s heart skipped a beat, then he hurriedly asked, “CEO Hong, then, how much gold are we planning to buy? So that I can get people to raise the capital funds...” Previously, those things that Young Master Dali did would usually not suffer losses, and it was evident that the gold this time had a lot of potential. Thus, he reacted to it very quickly.

“10 billion! At least 10 billion!” Hong Weiguo fiercely clapped. “If we throw in 10 billion, I’m certain that the price of gold will definitely not drop anymore!”

Tianjing City West Fourth Loop, in an ordinary motel.

“Ah, the feeling of freedom is really good.” Vincent “Lucifer” Iverson lay on the bed, looking at the little note in his hands; “Special service, providing you with the most high-end healthcare business service. Contact number: 15XXXXXXXXX... What kind of service is this special service?” The Angel of Misfortune was very curious about this. Thus, he decisively called the number. “Hello, may I know what kind of services you have? What? Massage by pretty girls? And there’s the most thoughtful chatting activity?!” Then, this fellow touched his chin. “Then, can they play Dream Dota League with me? Mm, yes, I can pay!”

Thus, half an hour later.

The pretty girl who had taken the initiative to come and provide the special service to Vincent Iverson sat together with him in front of the computer. The Angel of Misfortune, which made everyone troubled to the max, instructed the pretty girl as he played. “I’ll be the gunman this time, so you have to use the supplementary items to protect me. Just don’t seek your own death, I’ll lead you to an easy victory!”

Another half an hour later.

“Honey, you’re really great at playing this game, why don’t I provide for you 1.” The pretty girl lay on the Angel of Misfortune like an octopus. “You only need to lead me in playing games every day, I won’t collect money from you. I’ll also buy anything you want, how’s that?” As she spoke, the pretty girl also raised her eyebrows at the Angel of Misfortune. “Of course, other services are included as well...”

“You can really play games with me every day?” The Angel of Misfortune was very satisfied. “Then it’s a deal. Oh, wait while I post on Weibo first.” As he spoke, he logged on Weibo and wrote this post: “The pretty girls in Heavenly State are just too warmhearted, they’re not collecting my money and will provide a special service for me. And what satisfies me the most is that she wants to provide for me, that’s just too hot. I like it! Um, the only regret is that Chuyin ignores me. Ah, let misfortune strike harder, and let that person who snatched Chuyin from me suffer disasters dropping from the sky, and drop down into a bottomless abyss!”
