Chapter 16: A Thousand Flames of the Fire Dragon
A model of a spaceship sits in an inconspicuous corner of the mall, looking cool like an eagle with wings spread, and the tri-titanium alloy fuselage shimmers with a mysterious and dark sheen.
"This is a third-class escort-class battleship." The ghost shadow said disapprerovingly: "The frigate is the second smallest warship in the universe, and it can't be put on the table at all, if you want to sail in the universe full of dangers, you must at least have a cruiser to say it, of course, it would be better if it was a heavy assault ship." β
Xia Fei involuntarily walked over, muttering in his mouth, "This spaceship is so beautiful, I don't know how much it costs?" β
"This thing costs at least 80 million star coins."
Xia Fei pursed his lips, eighty million is not a small amount, with his current strength, he is still far from having his own spaceship.
"One day, I'll have my own space battleship too!" Xia Fei said proudly.
"Escort-level space battleships can only be purchased if they are repaired to reach the star field level, eighty million is just the price of a naked ship, you have to equip the ship with a weapon system, and you have to install a navigation system, there are no two hundred million people who want to play with a spaceship." The ghost shadow hit Xia Fei very unceremoniously.
Xia Fei swallowed a mouthful of spit and reluctantly left the mall.
As soon as I arrived at the medicinal herb market, the old problem of ghosts and spending money began to attack again, and I bought two sets of medicine refining utensils at once, and used one for the other as a backup.
As for the medicinal herbs, he saw what to buy, and it cost 8.7 million star coins to settle the bill.
"This time, you have a conscience, and you left me some money." Xia Fei took out his credit card to pay the bill.
There is a very chic shop not far ahead, this store has no brilliant neon lights, and there is no hot girl standing in front of the door to greet customers, and the decoration is quaint and cold, which looks very alternative in this lively virtual commercial street.
"Let's go inside." The ghost shadow didn't say a word, and pulled Xia Fei in.
The store was empty, with less than twenty counters, each with only one thing on display.
A strange red plant is very eye-catching, and the fiery red color has a wild and uninhibited appearance, like fireworks in the sky, bright and bright.
"This stuff is kind of interesting." Xia Fei said casually.
"Yes, yes." It's rare that the ghost shadow actually praised the things in this shop, when he bought the medicinal materials just now, he was not graded, and the effect of one bite was too poor.
There is a display underneath this fiery red plant, and there is a line of numbers on the screen that is the price of this plant.
Xia Fei counted, "One, two, three, four, five, six!" β
"Six zeros... Nine million !! Xia Fei thought it was incredible, although this plant was good, it wasn't worth so much money!
At this time, the ghost smiled at this Xia Fei, and Xia Fei suddenly felt nervous for no reason when he saw the ghost's smiling face.
"That's it, buy it."
β¦β¦
Andre's home is not in Manhattan, but on Staten Island to the south, which can only be reached by ferry.
The huge manor is surrounded by bodyguards in suits and leather shoes, and it is obvious that Andre is still very concerned about the Black Snake Society's head wanted.
Andre and Wu Long had already stepped out to greet them, and beside them stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with curly brown hair, eyes on his nose, and freckles on his face.
"Welcome, dear friend." Andrei said politely.
After the greetings were over, Xia Fei asked, "Who is this?" β
"Oh, this is my youngest grandson, Charlie, since my wife died, Charlie often comes to accompany me and learn some investment and financial skills from me."
"I started studying finance at such a young age!" Xia Fei sighed, "No wonder the Rothschild family has been a financial elite for generations, it seems that this has a lot to do with their family's family style." β
Charlie looked very shy, politely greeted Xia Fei, and the group walked directly into the restaurant.
Xia Fei didn't eat much except breakfast all day, so he didn't have to eat a large piece of lobster, and he ate four lobsters alone, and as for veal, tomato sauce soup was not a problem.
Wu Long was big and had a lot of food, Charlie and Andre only ate a little, and the two of them smiled and watched Wu Long and Xia Fei munching there.
Xia Fei wiped his mouth with a napkin quite satisfied, "I've been exercising a lot lately, so the amount of food is also large, which makes you smile." β
Andrei waved his hand disappreciatively.
Wu Long burped and said, "Good guy, you have eaten more than me with your little body, no wonder you are so fast." β
The crowd burst into laughter.
There are also many rules in rich families, and conversations cannot be at the dinner table and must go to the smoking room.
Andre sent little Charlie upstairs to read, and the three of them came to the smoking room and sat opposite each other.
AndrΓ© took out a box of fine cigars from the kitchen, and just looking at the walnut box and the beautiful gold ornaments, he knew that this box of cigars must be worth a lot.
"Try one, the finest handmade Cuban cigars, each one made on the breasts of virgins." Andre asked as he handed the cigar box to Xia Fei's side.
Xia Fei smiled and took out half a box of crumpled cheap Hongta Mountain from his pocket, "You know, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Long and Andre said together: "We know that you only smoke Hongta Mountain. β
"I really don't understand, why do you like to smoke this thing when you are so young and rich, this kind of smoke is so choking, inhaling it in your lungs is like eating gunpowder, not to mention how uncomfortable it is." Wu Long lit a cigar and said.
Xia Fei picked up a cigarette and lit it for himself, "No way, I've been used to it for so many years, and I can't change it." β
The three of them swallowed the clouds and spitted fog, and after a while, the kung fu room became smoky.
"The extraordinary meeting of our family has decided that the controllable fusion power plant will be jointly financed by us, and first we will build an experimental power plant in North America, on the site of the family's land, and in Kansas, if this power plant is successful, the energy problem of the entire American region will be completely solved." Andrei said.
One power plant solves the energy problem of the whole of America! This shows how great the potential of such a controllable fusion power plant is.
"It is envisaged that we will need to build three more power plants in East Asia and North Africa, as well as in Australia, and when these four power plants are completed, the entire planet will have a new era of safe and clean electricity." Andrei was excited, sketching a beautiful blueprint for the future of the planet.
"The new company will be jointly formed by you with a capital of 4 million star coins, and our Rothschild family will contribute 80 billion federal dollars, and as for the shares, we will each hold 50 percent."
Xia Fei waved his hand, "You miscalculated, eight billion federal dollars can be exchanged for eight million star coins, according to the proportion, you should account for seventy percent and I will account for thirty percent." β
Andre laughed, "Our Rothschild family will never miscalculate, according to the exchange rate, it is true that our capital contribution is larger, but this also requires us to have a place to exchange, you don't shirk, fifty percent of the shares are a joint decision of the family, and everyone agrees to do so." β
Xia Fei insisted on refusing, and after some prevarication, it was determined that the Rothschild family would hold 60% of the shares, and Xia Fei would account for 40%.
Xia Fei took a sip of red wine and said, "I don't have that much money on hand at the moment, and it may take two days to get it." β
Andre was a little puzzled, "The day before yesterday, you still had more than 11 million star coins in your account, could it be that you exchanged them for someone else?" β
Xia Fei smiled bitterly helplessly, "That was the day before yesterday, and I spent it this afternoon." β
"More than 10 million Star Coins! It was all spent in one afternoon!! Andrei almost didn't get up from his chair.
More than 10 million star coins is more than 100 billion federal dollars! Ordinary people can't spend it in a hundred lifetimes!
Wu Long touched his huge bald head, "Oh my God, what did you buy and spend so much money?" β
"A flower."
"A Flower !!"
Wu Long and Andre were speechless, they had seen people who burned money, but they had never seen Xiang Xia Fei burn such a way, spending 10 million star coins to buy a flower, this world is really crazy!
"You still have to hurry up and make money, according to the current speed of spending money by the ghost, he can spend it even if it is a mountain of gold." Xia Fei swallowed a puff of cigarette, thinking about the [Fire Dragon Thousand Flames] that made his flesh hurt, as well as his poor account balance.
"I only have a million on hand now, and I'll send you the balance when I have the money in a few days."
Andrei nodded, stood up and made a phone call, and soon two big men with sunglasses walked into the smoking room, carrying an aluminum alloy safe in their hands.
Andre nodded slightly, and the two bodyguards untied the handcuffs and handed the box to Xia Fei, as well as a delicate little key.
"What is this?" Xia Fei took the box and put it on his lap and asked suspiciously.
Andre waved his hand and pushed the two bodyguards out, and then said: "This is the [Golden Spike], our family decided to give it to you, as a lifelong friend of the Rothschild family, I hope you can accept it." β
"Golden Spike!"
Xia Fei opened the layers of insurance and held this beautiful and extraordinary [Golden Spike] in his hand, the texture was excellent, the weight was not light or heavy, Xia Fei tried to swing it a few times, it felt like it was fused with his fist, and he didn't feel its existence at all.
"This gift is too expensive for me to accept." Xia Fei put the golden spike back into the box and said.
"You mean to reject the friendship of our Rothschilds?" Andrei asked with a frown.
"This friendship is really heavy enough, and in that case I will take it." Xia Fei closed the box and gently put it on the ground.
"Now, I formally invite you two to join the project to explore Atlantis, and based on what we know now, we are confident that we will find this greatest wonder in the history of mankind and unravel the mystery that has been hidden on Atlantis' face for tens of thousands of years." Andrei said slowly.
Wu Long nodded and expressed his willingness to join.
"I'd love to join the program, where the hell is Atlantis?" Xia Fei asked with some excitement.
Andrei's gaze swept over the two of them, and he whispered rather mysteriously, "Atlantic." β
