Chapter 571: The Fang Family Might Become the Biggest Winner
"Did I see that right? Is it really 2 billion currency?"
"Are you kidding me? That's almost equivalent to the value of dozens of level four civilizations. How can a young person possibly mobilize such funds?"
"This is probably just the beginning. I heard the employees at the Cosmic Bank suddenly started working overtime, like there are many transactions to handle. I bet those big shots are figuring out how to mobilize funds!"
"Really? Are the Orville Clan slaves really that attractive?"
"Could it be fake? As long as you're willing to spend time and money to train them, they'll definitely be a huge asset in the future. Even those Venerable Level Transcenders wouldn't want to miss out!"
Those who were unable to participate in the live auction online seemed to feel the tension in the air, even from afar.
"Host, I demand asset verification of the owner of seat number one!" Suddenly, Vizi's voice came from seat number five. He was venting all his frustration on Fang Jueyu.
"This..." The elder on the stage was at a loss. With the wealth that the owner of seat number one had shown, he couldn't afford to offend him, but the owner of the Mohe Arena was also powerful. Neither side was easy to deal with.
"But this is against the rules."
"I think the importance of this auction item is clear to everyone. If someone pretends to have money and causes this item to go unsold, it would be a huge loss for both us and the auction house. I hope the host considers this carefully."
"I also suggest verifying the assets of number one!"
"Seconded!"
Several big figures in the VIP seats started speaking up. None of them wanted the Orville Clan slave to go unsold, as it might be the last one of their kind in the universe. Missing this chance might mean they'd never have another, and the host could never reveal the seller's information to any bidder.
"Damn, are they all targeting me?" Fang Jueyu took a big bite of fruit. "Is it my fault for being rich and handsome?"
Natu shook his head. "Being rich isn't your fault, but flaunting it is."
"Everyone, please hold on while I consult the host." The elder immediately began communicating with those in charge.
"Hurry! While there's still time, gather the funds!"
"Is it ready? If a ten percent collateral isn't enough, reduce it to twenty percent. I must get my hands on that Orville Clan slave!"
The VIP seat owners were still trying to mobilize their resources as much as possible.
.....
At this moment, deep in the universe, on a planet that looked much like Earth, a middle-aged man in splendid attire was watching the auction with great interest. If Fang Jueyu were here, he would notice the resemblance between them.
This middle-aged man was named Fang Ke, the most talented businessman in the Fang Family. Although his strength was only at the Controller level, it was because he spent most of his energy on business.
"That brat, just arrived at a cosmic civilization and he's already flaunting all over the place. How many people will he offend this time?"
"Grandfather, why take this little guy seriously?" Next to him, another middle-aged man smiled while watching the holographic image of Fang Jueyu. "Don't forget, he's Fang Huai's troublesome son."
"True, so what if he offends a few Venerable Transcenders?" Fang Ke said. "That Helian guy is too stingy, only gave him three marks. If they run out, this brat will be in trouble. Fang Xu, arrange for two people to protect this brat secretly. No one messes with the Fang Family."
"Alright, the two nearby intergalactic dominions are under our family's control anyway. I'll personally tell their rulers."
"Yes, but go later!" Fang Ke suddenly smiled. "Though this brat is flashy, he's unknowingly given us a chance to make a small fortune."
"Oh? Grandpa, did you see a business opportunity?"
"Those old guys are short on money and don't have liquid funds. Isn't this our opportunity?" Fang Ke made a gesture. "See? Thousands of level four civilizations are now for sale in the trading marketplace, at least twenty percent below the usual price!"
Fang Ke quickly started calculating in his head. Buying civilizations is always profitable. Once bankrupt, no one would sell an entire civilization unless they reach their limits.
According to the productivity of a civilization, although it takes time to recoup the investment, for this long-lived universe and the long-lived Martial Artists, it's not an issue. They favor long-term benefits.
Moreover, for the Fang Family, buying these civilizations is barely a scratch. With some operations, they could reap rewards far beyond the investment.
"Why so many? Only fifty people in the VIP seats are qualified to compete for the Orville Clan slave, right?"
"See? You've been practicing Guiding Technique on your muscles and forgot to use your brain." Fang Ke poked Fang Xu's head. "Qin Gui has three friends. How many connections does a Venerable Level Transcender have? If they don't have enough money, won't they borrow from others?"
"Hahaha, so by accident, Fang Jueyu's reckless move is giving us expansion opportunities?"
"Hurry, buy up all those level four civilizations!"
Just then, the Fang Family's custom communicator rang, and a figure appeared who also bore a striking resemblance to them. "Fang Ke, the Cosmic Bank just received hundreds of large loan orders. Our Fang Family's accounts are handling over two hundred of these orders. You need to take care of it."
"Oh?" Fang Ke raised an eyebrow. "News from the Cosmic Bank? Someone wants loans? It seems they're determined to get the Orville Civilization slave!"
"They're big orders, the smallest being 30 million currency, with an annual interest rate of 7.5%."
"That's a high rate! Alright, I'll handle it immediately. Leave it to me!" Fang Ke's enthusiasm soared when talking about money.
"That kid sure knows how to spend, but he wouldn't guess that our family only grows richer the more we spend hahaha!"
...
Fang Jueyu was unaware of how these seemingly extravagant actions brought untold benefits to the Fang Family.
At this moment, the elder completed the application. Due to the numerous requests and the high value of the asset, the upper management immediately approved these VIPs' demands.
"Mr. Ma Yun of VIP seat number one, due to the requests of numerous VIPs, we kindly ask that you cooperate with an asset verification."
"Okay, if you want to verify, go ahead!" Fang Jueyu didn't mind. The 2 billion currency was nothing to him. "But I'm afraid my balance might scare you."
The elder smiled awkwardly. Having hosted so many auctions, he thought he'd seen every kind of large sum. Although 2 billion currency was significant, he had auctioned items worth ten times as much.
"Rest assured, Mr. Ma Yun, your assets and information will remain confidential with us. No one else will know."
"Alright, then go ahead and verify."
Soon, a device flew into Fang Jueyu's room through a special channel.
"What do I need to do?"
"Mr. Ma Yun, just input your account number. This device can connect to the Cosmic Bank's client database for verification, then provide feedback."
Fang Jueyu took out his card and placed it on the device.
"Hmm? A transparent card? I've never seen one before." Natu had only ever seen three-star account cards.
"Commencing balance verification..."
"Warning! Warning! Asset digits exceed verification limit, please stop immediately!"
