Free Web NovelChapter 67: Chapter 67: Transaction Complete, 350 Million in Hand
Lu Feng smiled at the starlet, then led his cousin Yang Ming and Chen Bo off the yacht.
’This kind of life wasn’t surprising for the rich and powerful.’
He had already agreed with Master Kai on the time and place for the Gold trade. It was set for tomorrow.
Now, all he had to do was wait.
After Lu Feng and his men left, Master Kai pulled the starlet over, sat her on his lap, and immediately started getting handsy.
The burly bodyguards tactfully took their leave and went below deck.
Soon after, suggestive sounds echoed from the deck.
A moment later, Master Kai let out a cry of pain. "OUCH!"
"Master Kai, what’s wrong?" the starlet asked nervously.
"Damn it!" Master Kai clutched a spot on his right side, just above his waist, feeling a sharp, stabbing pain.
’Isn’t this the exact spot that Boss Lu mentioned?’
’How freaking weird. It was fine before he said anything, but the moment he mentions it, it starts to hurt?’
The key was that since the man had said something, he’d grown paranoid. The more he thought about it, the more something felt wrong. He hurriedly said to the starlet, "Come on, help me get to a hospital."
Meanwhile, Lu Feng had already left the Bund with Yang Ming and Chen Bo.
The negotiations had gone smoothly, so everyone was in high spirits. Lu Feng treated them all to a good meal.
On the way back to the hotel, he glanced at the view of the game world. Lin Jiao and the others were setting up a rack and slicing Striped Bull meat, preparing for a barbecue.
Seeing this, Lu Feng went by himself to a convenience store outside the hotel, bought some barbecue seasoning and some fruit, then found a deserted spot to transfer the items into his backpack space.
Back at the hotel, he saw Yang Ming and Chen Bo playing poker with their men. Uninterested, he returned to his room, locked the door from the inside, and entered the game world with a thought.
Lin Jiao and Xu Bin had already set up the grill and started cooking the meat.
Of course, with no seasoning, they were just dry-roasting it.
But in the apocalypse, just being able to eat your fill was a blessing. There was no room to be picky.
The others were waiting nearby. Cheng Yaoyao and Cheng Sisi had been called down as well. The twin sisters had been living a peaceful, stable life recently, even with the electronic locks still around their necks.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Lin Jiao and the others all greeted Lu Feng when they saw him.
Wang Cheng, who was sitting in a corner, glanced up at Lu Feng before lowering his head again without a word.
With a thought, Lu Feng took the barbecue seasonings out of his backpack space and tossed them to Lin Jiao.
Lin Jiao caught the seasonings, her eyes lighting up.
"Barbecue seasoning," Xu Bin said, his face breaking into a smile. He quickly grabbed a bottle and opened it. Before the apocalypse, this stuff was common, but after, he hadn’t seen it in a very, very long time.
’As expected, only by following this boss could you have a quality life, enjoy a few of its pleasures, and feel like you’re dreaming of the days before the apocalypse.’
Lu Feng then took out the fruit he’d bought and handed it to Cheng Yaoyao. "You did a good job. This is your reward."
Cheng Yaoyao accepted the fruit, her pretty face filled with surprise. She knew the boss was referring to the technical data for repairing the electromagnetic rice cooker, but she hadn’t expected to receive a reward for it.
’In the apocalypse, she knew just how precious the fruit in her hands was.’
Lu Feng then asked Cheng Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, regarding the restoration of the electromagnetic rice cooker’s technical data, let me know if you need anything else. I’d like you to finish restoring the data as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaoyao immediately replied, "Boss, if I had a computer with design software installed, I could work much, much faster."
Lu Feng nodded at her words. With a thought, he exited the game, left the hotel, and bought an old, second-hand Apple computer as a bit of misdirection. He even had them install several design programs on it.
In the real world, it was very simple to buy a computer if you had money. He just didn’t know if Cheng Yaoyao would know how to operate it.
’After all, for someone from the game world, this kind of laptop would be an antique, right?’
’The billboards in the game world were already so sci-fi, let alone computers, which were a symbol of technological advancement.’
’But a real-world computer was all he could get right now.’
Returning to the hotel, Lu Feng entered the game again, only to find Cheng Yaoyao sharing the fruit with Lin Jiao and the others.
’This girl knows how to get along with people.’
Lu Feng took out the laptop and handed it to Cheng Yaoyao.
When Cheng Yaoyao received the laptop, a look of astonishment appeared on her pretty face. "Sir, you were able to find this kind of old computer? I’ve only ever seen them in books."
Cheng Sisi suddenly piped up with interest, "This type of computer was phased out 60 years ago. But they’re still a special topic in university computer science courses."
"So you know how to use it?" Lu Feng asked immediately.
Cheng Sisi answered first, "Sir, I studied computer science. I know how to use this old computer. I can study it a bit and teach my sister."
Lu Feng instinctively glanced at Cheng Sisi.
’I didn’t expect this girl to have her own skills. It seems buying her as a package deal came with an unexpected bonus.’
"Boss, have a taste!" Lin Jiao, ever so thoughtful, handed him the first piece of freshly grilled Striped Bull meat.
It was Lu Feng’s first time eating roasted Mutant Beast meat from the game. He took it and had a taste. He had to admit, the Striped Bull meat was quite chewy, and with the seasonings, it tasted excellent. freewēbnoveℓ.com
After eating a couple of pieces of roasted meat, Lu Feng took out some special travel bags he had prepared earlier from his backpack space. He then called Xu Bin over, and together they divided the one ton of Gold into five travel bags.
Otherwise, a whole ton of Gold would be impossible for him to handle alone tomorrow.
Divided into five bags, each weighing 400 jin, he could still manage to lift them into the trunk of a car.
Once the preparations were complete, Lu Feng exited the game again.
「The next day.」
As the appointed time with Master Kai drew near, Yang Ming and Chen Bo found Lu Feng, not forgetting to remind him, "Xiaofeng, today’s the day we trade the Gold with Master Kai. Is the Gold ready on your end?"
Lu Feng heard this and replied, "Cousin, I’m heading out for a bit. I’ll contact you later."
’Getting the Gold out of the game was simple, but he had to find a deserted place to do it in secret.’
Watching Lu Feng leave, Yang Ming and Chen Bo exchanged a knowing look.
They were certain Lu Feng hadn’t brought any Gold with him when he arrived; they had even checked the trunk of his Panamera.
’This meant that the person from his supply channel had also arrived and was probably somewhere nearby.’
After leaving the hotel, Lu Feng drove around for a bit, then found a deserted spot to enter the game. He brought the gold bars, already packed in the travel bags, out of the game and placed them in his car’s trunk.
After a moment of thought, he moved three bags to the back seat, worried that the trunk floor might not be able to take the weight.
Fortunately, the one ton of Gold was only about the size of a computer tower; otherwise, it really wouldn’t have fit in the car.
Once Lu Feng had the Gold loaded, he drove back to the hotel and called Yang Ming and Chen Bo, telling them to come down and meet him.
After that, the group set off for the location they had arranged with Master Kai.
It was a wide, open beach, stretching as far as the eye could see, a place where it would be impossible to set up an ambush or a trap.
For a first transaction, choosing a place like this showed that Master Kai was being considerate. It was mainly to put them at ease.
When he saw Master Kai this time, Lu Feng noticed right away that he had become much more enthusiastic.
"Boss Lu, you’re a miracle worker!" As soon as Master Kai saw Lu Feng, he rushed forward to greet him, even giving him a big hug this time. "It’s all thanks to your reminder. After this deal, I’m afraid I’ll have to get some minor minimally invasive surgery. That damn drug dealer, selling me that kind of faulty medicine. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean it’s good."
’Lu Feng understood immediately. It must be the issue the diagnostic watch had detected.’
Master Kai then added with a smile, "Boss Lu, let me see the Gold. Let’s finish the transaction quickly to put your mind at ease. You’re not just a client now; I want to be your friend."
"Besides, I’ve already fought for the best deal for you with my people. From now on, as long as there’s no problem with your Gold, we’ll buy it all at 90% of the market value."
Clearly, because of the earlier warning, Master Kai was filled with gratitude and had developed a favorable impression of Lu Feng.
After all, the doctor said that if it hadn’t been discovered in time, not only would it have been life-threatening, but it could have also affected his kidney function.
’What the hell...’
’But this Boss Lu, to be able to warn him just by seeing that his complexion was off... that was truly amazing.’
’There’s no harm in befriending a person like that!’
One ton of Gold was 2,000 jin, or 1,000,000 grams. Calculated at the current market price, with the 10% discount Master Kai mentioned and an additional 10% intermediary fee, Lu Feng stood to receive 350 million. freewebnoveℓ.com
Lu Feng opened the trunk of his car and lifted out the bags of Gold from inside.
Master Kai waved his hand, signaling several of his men to go inspect the Gold.
As the men approached, they saw that Lu Feng had lifted the bags of Gold out by himself. One of them tried to lift a bag, then looked at Lu Feng in utter shock, as if staring at a monster.
They couldn’t even begin to lift the bags, which weighed 400 jin each.
After that, they could only awkwardly open the bags and begin inspecting the Gold inside.
Since Master Kai was in this line of business, his men were naturally professionals. They quickly finished inspecting the Gold and confirmed there were no issues.
And, just as Master Kai had promised, not long after Lu Feng gave them his bank account number, 340 million was deposited directly into it.
’There was no need for an application, and the bank didn’t even question it.’
’That was telling enough about where this batch of Gold would ultimately end up.’
