Chapter 307 Investing in Golden City [6,000 words]
As the auction hammer fell heavily.
This super-grade third-grade Yin Lei mine is officially owned by Jiang Ming.
Established history has been rewritten.
The auction item that originally belonged to the bearded ghost changed its owner at this moment.
at the same time.
The final winner of this bidding was also won by humans.
Even the bearded ghost, known as the No. 1 weapon refining master in the City of No Return, announced that the competition had failed.
There is no doubt about it.
Jiang Ming stole the show at this auction.
Even if he didn't take over all the auction items, just the imposing price of 500 million ghost coins was enough to make him the center of attention.
Not to mention that he finally took out the golden tree sapling and obtained the third-grade super-grade Yin Thunder Mine from the bearded ghost.
The ghosts were amazed.
This completely refreshed their understanding of human beings.
They could not imagine that there was such a heaven-defying being among humans. Compared with those weak humans who could only wander around the edge of the Pure Land and could not even reach the city of no return, Jiang Ming's existence was simply an alien.
In such silence.
The auction is officially over.
The ghost king-level family head from the Golden City walked down the auction stage, looked at Jiang Ming with an inexplicable expression, and said in a low ghost voice: "This human young master, what is your name?"
"ginger."
"Mr. Jiang, I am the master of the Golden City. Please come with me. We can handle the mines with one hand and the trees with the other."
The rich ghost walked in front.
Invite Jiang Ming to come over and talk.
Enough attitude.
Jiang Ming did not refuse.
He got up and followed him.
When passing by the bearded ghost, Jiang Ming kindly comforted him: "Relax, you can't control this grade of yin mine. Even if you auction it, you can only keep it and strand it. This is too wasteful."
Finished.
Jiang Ming walked away.
Only a handsome back figure was left.
"It's too much to deceive ghosts. How dare a human being be so arrogant in the No Return City? Master, are you just going to swallow this tone? After today, the gossip that we are being suppressed by humans will spread throughout the No Return City. City, this is a shame.”
Seeing that his plan failed, the Black Butler ghost stared at Jiang Ming's retreating figure, gritted his teeth, and made a sound of reluctance.
The quasi-ghost king-level ghosts on the other eight golden chairs fell silent.
The grimace is equally unsightly.
See this.
The Black Butler ghost spoke again: "Think about it, although this human being has some strength, a figure like 3.2 billion is obviously not something that a group of humans who have just entered the Pure Land world for two or three years can accumulate. His money must have come from something wrong. In addition to the golden tree saplings that shouldn't have appeared, don't you think that he got the inheritance from a certain mysterious ghost king and became rich overnight? "
"Also, he was able to refuse the master's opportunity to refine weapons, which shows that he must have a weapon in his hand that is not inferior to a semi-finished super-grade Yin weapon. It is even possible that the human has a super-grade Yin weapon in his hand."
"Don't you have any ideas?"
Hear this.
The quasi-ghost king-level ghosts on the other golden chairs all showed some signs of movement.
The ghost's eyes were full of salivation.
Although the Black Butler ghost wanted to use them as gunmen to wash away their shame, it had to be said that they were indeed moved.
A human with peak ghost-level strength, carrying more than 3 billion ghost coins at hand, is extremely rich.
Coupled with the possibility of obtaining the inheritance of a certain ghost king, who is not confused by this?
As long as Jiang Ming is killed, their net worth will increase by hundreds of millions at least.
This is enough to make them take risks.
For a while.
The ghosts looked at each other.
They all saw the movement in each other's eyes.
Looking at each other with a cruel smile.
Obviously.
They all made the same choice.
I decided to let that human know that the reason why no humans have set foot in the No Return City is that it is difficult to enter, and on the other hand, it is more dangerous.
It's not something humans can play around with.
The end of arrogance is to die on the street.
At this time.
Sitting next to Jiang Ming, the quasi-ghost king-level ghost who was ignored the whole time couldn't wait to say: "When will we do it? That human being is protected by the owner of the Golden City here. I believe that as long as he is not stupid, he will know to ask for help from the Golden City. Shelter him for a while.”
"Then wait until he leaves here before taking action. After leaving the auction house, not even the Golden City can protect him."
The black butler ghost said sadly: "I am an insider here. If that human being wants to use some trick to sneak away from here, I will inform you and help you delay the discovery of the head of the Golden City family. After it is done, , I want 100 million.”
"Can."
"That's no problem. As long as we don't let that human sneak away, no one can stop us from attacking unless the Ghost King takes action."
"Hehehehe, if this human being has precious shady materials such as golden tree saplings, then we will take advantage of them."
On the golden chair.
Several quasi-ghost king-level ghosts were laughing sinisterly.
Already discussing how to divide the spoils.
fail?
This is outside the scope of their discussion.
after all.
Five or six of them were quasi-ghost kings who went to encircle and suppress a human being. How could there be any possibility of failure?
How to lose when the flying dragon rides on the face?
Coming to the end.
This group of quasi-ghost king-level ghosts said to the bearded ghost in a flattering manner: "Master, don't worry, everyone who sees it has a share. You don't need to get involved. We will get back the Yin Lei Mine you like."
The bearded ghost said nothing.
Acquiesced to the idea.
He could get the super-grade third-level Yin Lei mine for free without him taking action. How could he refuse such a good thing?
…
other side.
Jiang Ming came to a magnificent lounge.
A servant ghost brought a cup of strong tea and placed it in front of Jiang Ming.
With a bit of curiosity and scrutiny, he looked at this human being who became the focus of the auction.
The rich ghost sat opposite.
He placed the Yin Lei Mine in front of the table and handed it over.
Jiang Ming took it and took out the golden tree seedling.
"It's really a golden tree sapling. This is incredible. Human, how did you get it?"
The owner of the Golden City family carefully picked up the golden tree sapling and looked at it for a while, confirming that the golden tree sapling was real and that its shape was almost exactly the same as the newly cultivated new generation variety that had not yet been unearthed.
Those who didn’t know this thought they were the new generation of unearthed varieties.
Jiang Ming took a sip of strong tea.
[Drinking golden tea, spirit +5, Yin power +1000. 】
"What, is it that only your Golden City can have golden tree saplings?"
Rich ghost:...
He actually wanted to say that it was indeed the case.
After all, since the establishment of the Golden City, there has only been one golden tree.
This has become a symbol of the Golden City.
but……
Now Jiang Ming has taken out a new one, which is enough to show that the golden tree seedlings have other sources.
"That's not true, but Mr. Jiang, if you have other golden tree saplings, our Golden City can buy them all, and we won't treat you badly in terms of price."
"Oh? Can you eat it?"
Jiang Ming's expression changed.
I had an idea in my mind.
"Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about? You may not know this when you first enter the City of No Return. The Golden City is the ghost king here. When it comes to wealth, we have never failed anyone. If we go by what you humans say, then I am the richest man here. Not to mention one or two golden tree seedlings, I can also afford three or five."
The rich ghost felt that he had been underestimated by humans, and immediately expressed his stance with confidence.
A "no shortage of money" attitude.
"Let's do this, Mr. Jiang. In order to show the sincerity of Golden City, I am willing to buy out the golden tree saplings in your hands at a price that is double the market price, which is 5 billion per plant."
To the end.
The owner of the Golden City spoke boldly.
Want to recycle all the golden tree seedlings on Jiang Ming's body to achieve a monopoly.
For this reason, they did not hesitate to purchase it at twice the market price.
In his opinion, even if Jiang Ming, a human being, still has golden tree saplings in his hands, the number will not be large. Two, three, or three or four are already the limit.
The total cost is within 20 billion coins.
Although this purchase price is already sky-high and even the Golden City cannot come up with it in a short period of time, as long as it can monopolize the golden tree seedlings to appear elsewhere, the price is worth it.
Again.
As long as they can be cultivated successfully, Golden City will be able to earn more than ten times the profit from the products of these golden trees.
This deal is a sure profit.
Hear the words.
Jiang Ming's eyes became strange.
"I admire your courage. Come on, try buying these."
Say it.
Jiang Ming took out ten golden tree seedlings on the spot.
lined up.
Place in front of the table.
It shines with a golden halo that is not bright but extremely dazzling.
at once.
The rich ghost was shocked.
He suddenly stood up from his seat.
The face of the rich ghost was full of horror.
A look of disbelief.
Damn it.
Ten golden tree seedlings, plus the one in his hand, the number of golden tree seedlings currently placed in the lounge has reached an astonishing eleven.
This is ridiculous.
Even during the Golden City's heyday, more than five seedlings were never successfully cultivated.
And this human being has eleven plants in one hand.
What.
Have you ever fallen into a cave full of golden tree saplings?
I'm confused.
Jiang Ming, the old god, said: "Come on, according to the price of 5 billion golden tree saplings, ten saplings are 50 billion, so give me the money."
Rich ghost:...
He couldn't hold himself any longer.
No one told him that this human being had so many golden tree seedlings in his hands.
If all 50 billion ghost coins were taken out, the Golden City would be paralyzed.
Even property needs to be mortgaged a lot.
Injuries to muscles and bones are minor.
If you are not careful, the capital chain may be broken and you will be unable to recover.
Think about it.
The rich ghost sneered and said with a bitter smile: "Young Master Jiang, you are really scary. If all the 50 billion hell coins of the Golden City are given away, there will be no need to do business. So, Mr. Jiang, I don't know if you have any Interested in investing in Golden City?”
Hear this.
A smile flashed across Jiang Ming's eyes.
He asked with great interest: "What's the way to invest in shares?"
"You buy shares with golden tree saplings. Ten of them are worth 50 billion ghost coins. And today's golden city is worth around 300 billion ghost coins. I can make the decision and give you 20% of the equity. You will be the only one besides me. Shareholders have decision-making power.”
"Less."
Jiang Ming said calmly.
The rich ghost frowned.
20% equity is a reasonable number.
After all, Golden City still has to put in a lot of effort to cultivate it.
This is the biggest cost.
"Mr. Jiang, how much equity do you expect? Tell us and we can discuss it together."
Jiang Ming raised his eyes and said casually: "I said, I have more than ten golden tree seedlings, so this equity is less."
Plenty ghost:? ? !
He was a little confused.
Emma.
So you don't want to ask for too much, but you have more?
No.
Isn't this more frightening?
Your family is a wholesaler.
He thinks that the golden tree seedlings in this human's hands have become like cabbages in the vegetable market?
After a long pause.
The owner of the Golden City swallowed his saliva and said: "I don't know how many golden tree seedlings you have in your hand, Mr. Jiang? Three? Five?"
Jiang Ming's mouth corners slightly raised.
"It's ten."
After the words fell.
Another ten golden tree seedlings were placed on the table, filling the whole table.
Gulp.
The wealthy ghost swallowed his saliva wildly.
He needed to hold the chair to calm himself down and maintain his demeanor.
He couldn't imagine what it meant for a human to have twenty golden tree seedlings.
Was he carrying a treasure house with him?
It was simply horrifying.
He suspected that he had been hit by some kind of illusion.
Otherwise, how could such an outrageous thing be discovered in front of him.
This time.
The wealthy ghost took a longer time to slow down.
He was obviously the owner of the Golden City and a ghost king-level existence, but he felt an unprecedented shock from Jiang Ming.
This human was not like an ordinary person.
"It's just twenty golden tree seedlings. Don't act like you've never seen the world. According to the previous division, I own 40% of the shares. Is that okay?"
After a moment of silence.
The wealthy ghost nodded.
"No problem."
The Golden City really couldn't afford to buy the golden tree seedlings worth 100 billion ghost money. Jiang Ming only needed 40% of the shares. To be honest, it was still the Golden City that made a profit.
After all.
If Jiang Ming took these golden tree seedlings to invest in other ghost king-level forces, the benefits would definitely be greater than what the Golden City offered.
Thinking of this.
The wealthy ghost had a sense of crisis in his heart and made another promise.
"Mr. Jiang, since you think so highly of the Golden City, I naturally cannot be stingy. In addition to the 40% equity, you also have the right to participate in the decision-making of the internal affairs of the Golden Tree and enjoy the same treatment as me. If I am not here, you will be the highest decision-maker in the Golden City. I will write this clause directly into the contract and give you a family owner's waist badge."
After saying that.
The ghost king-level owner of the Golden City left in a hurry.
He also used the ghost domain teleportation directly.
It is conceivable.
How anxious the other party was at this moment.
He looked as if he was afraid that Jiang Ming would go back on his word.
In response to this.
Jiang Ming accepted it all.
This was an unexpected gain.
But the effect was very obvious.
He only used 20 golden tree seedlings that looked like cabbages to exchange for 40% of the shares of Golden City, and received the same treatment as the owner of Golden City.
When he returned to the original timeline, he would be the real boss of Golden City.
He liked it.
Jiang Ming had a clear smile on his face.
He got the Yin Lei Mine and got the treatment of the head of Golden City for free. This trip back in time was worth it.
Soon.
The wealthy ghost came back.
He had an effective Yin Force contract and a freshly baked head of the family badge.
"Mr. Jiang, from today on, we will officially become partners. Believe me, the development of Golden City will definitely not stop here. In a few years, you will know how good your vision is."
The expression of the wealthy ghost became much friendlier.
Ambitious.
He looked like he wanted to become bigger and stronger.
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes.
He thought about it.
A basin of cold water was poured down.
"In the short term, I think you'd better not expose these golden tree seedlings."
"Why?"
"A big tree attracts the wind. The previous golden trees were difficult to cultivate, so it was difficult to have a second or third golden tree survive at the same time in a short period of time. In addition, there were not enough resources to cultivate them to the point of top-quality Yin materials, which is why they did not cause large-scale hostility from other forces. However, if these twenty golden tree seedlings were exposed, everyone would know that the Golden City is about to take off. You should understand the principle that a big tree attracts the wind."
Jiang Ming said calmly.
Hearing this.
The rich ghost's face became solemn.
It's not that he hadn't thought about this principle, but he couldn't let the hope of rising be indifferent in front of him.
"Then when do you think it's appropriate to expose it?"
He didn't say he wanted to hide it, but asked when it would be appropriate to expose it.
"Seven years later."
Jiang Ming said casually.
"Seven years later? Why this time?"
"Because by then, I will return to the Golden City again. By then, no matter how I expose it, it will not have much impact, because I will take action."
Jiang Ming grinned.
Given the answer.
He is rewriting the historical trajectory of the Golden City.
But he doesn't want the Golden City to take a development path different from the original timeline because it got 20 golden tree seedlings in advance.
If it develops smoothly, it's okay, but if it is boycotted and surrounded by a bureau, even a ghost king-level force may go bankrupt and disappear within seven years.
This is not what he wants to see.
Therefore, he needs Golden City to maintain its original development.
However……
Rich ghosts don't know this.
He only heard something almost conceited from Jiang Ming's tone.
The meaning is clear.
This human being will return here after seven years. At that time, the Golden City can fully cultivate the golden tree saplings. It does not matter if there is a big commotion or being targeted by other forces, because he is here.
Such words.
Even a ghost king-level existence like him wouldn't dare to say that.
There was silence for a while.
The rich ghost said: "Seven years is not a long time, and it takes five to ten years for the golden tree seedlings to mature from cultivation to maturity. They may not be able to survive. They may not reach the exposure time after seven years, so what you said No problem.”
He did not believe Jiang Ming's "big words".
But seven years is indeed not a long time.
It would be easy to hide it for seven years without revealing it.
He could accept Jiang Ming's opinion.
Jiang Ming also saw this.
But he didn't pay much attention.
Anyway, if things go wrong, he will turn back time again.
Let the trajectory of things go in the direction he expected.
Think about it until this point.
Jiang Ming waved his hands and said: "Okay, now that we have reached an agreement, it's time for me to leave. I will come back in seven years. You should come back as soon as possible, otherwise I may intervene in your sons' competition in advance. "
Rich ghost:?
He was a little stunned.
It always felt like Jiang Ming had something to say.
But soon.
He suddenly remembered something.
Kindly reminded: "Mr. Jiang, you are a human being, but you have stolen the limelight in the auction house. Many ghosts are dissatisfied with you. In addition, you are carrying a huge sum of money with you. After you go out, you are likely to be attacked. If you don't mind the ambush, you can stay here for a while, during which I will ask my servants to prepare three meals for you."
"They're just a bunch of clowns."
Jiang Ming walked out leisurely.
Said nonchalantly.
The rich ghost looked at Jiang Ming's back and sighed repeatedly.
What a strange human being.
Extremely mysterious.
Even a well-informed ghost king like him couldn't tell the difference.
I just feel unfathomable.
It’s just that we underestimate the local ghosts of the Pure Land world a little too much.
Think about it.
He called over his most trusted chief executive of Golden City.
"You follow him quietly to protect him for a while. After all, you are the only shareholder of my Golden City. If you die so soon, my Golden City's face will be tarnished."
The rich ghost said so.
Although Jiang Ming's death was none of his business, he was considered a partner after all, so it was still necessary to help him.
…
Exited the Golden City Auction House.
The big executive ghost and the bearded old man who have been waiting outside for a long time have already put on a big supervisor ghost and the old man with beard that can cover his figure and most of his face.
The two ghosts did not enter with Jiang Ming.
after all.
At this point in time, one of them is the chief manager of Golden City, and the other is a worshiper of Golden City. They are still well-known. Once exposed, they don't know how to explain it.
"Master, congratulations on getting the Yin Lei Mine."
The two congratulated each other.
They had learned everything that happened at the auction venue from the ghost mouths of the customers who came out.
I also learned about the bidding process between Jiang Ming and the bearded ghost.
To this.
They can only marvel at Jiang Ming's operation, which is really not afraid of causing big changes in the future.
It can be called wanton behavior.
Today, there are no signs of human survival in the City of No Return. Jiang Ming's actions have made ghosts more afraid of humans to a certain extent. They may be more cautious or even more violent before taking action.
The specific details will not be known until we return to the original timeline.
Jiang Ming nodded slightly.
"You guys step back and let me go on a long journey and leave a deep impression on the Pure Land world of seven years ago."
Finished.
Jiang Ming walked straight on the street.
Hang out.
along the way.
More and more ghosts noticed Jiang Ming, a living person.
Every time he passed by, there would be a group of ghosts that seemed to smell something, and their scarlet ghost eyes would stay on Jiang Ming for a long time.
for all this.
Jiang Ming ignored it.
until……
After walking out of the Golden City Auction House a few hundred meters away.
Something unexpected happened.
All I saw was the street.
The five ghost figures burst out with quasi-ghost king-level Yin energy fluctuations without any warning, and without saying a word, they headed towards Jiang Ming.
The terrifying Yin force threatened the nearby ghosts to turn pale.
They all fled the scene.
For fear of being affected.
Because this looks like an assault.
The target is the only living person among the ghosts.
They were horrified. How could a human being besieged by five quasi-ghost-king-level ghosts?
This battle is too big.
It's a complete waste of time.
See this.
Jiang Ming grinned.
"Just five quasi-ghost kings? How disappointing."
