Qiao Xia raised an eyebrow at her. "What?"
Zeng Manwen asked mysteriously, "Have you ever read any cultivation novels?"
Qiao Xia asked, puzzled, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Listen to me, your family must never touch the stock market. For Mu San, the stock market is like the realm of a cultivator. Without exception, everyone who has crossed paths with him in the stock market has gone bankrupt."
Zeng Manwen slapped her hand hard. "Remember this."
[Side Quest Reward: Please spend 100 billion per day for ten days. Failure: No side effects; success: Unlimited spending unlocked.]
[I've staked my dignity and future on the main system, host, you absolutely cannot fail!]
Qiao Xia's eyes lit up. "I understand."
Zeng Manwen pitifully grabbed her hand, "Can't you really consider saving my son?"
Qiao Xia's lips twitched. "How about I get you a helicopter and take you to that island to pick up the person?"
Zeng Manwen shook her head vigorously, "How can that be? What if I don't come back either? Wouldn't that be losing both my wife and my army?"
Qiao Xia shrugged. "Then there's nothing I can do."
Zeng Manwen retorted angrily, "Pah! You call yourself my fan? You can't even do this little thing for me. From today onwards, you're expelled from the fandom."
Qiao Xia was speechless at Zeng Manwen's childish behavior and disgusted by her bossy attitude.
But how should I put it?
Time never defeats beauty; a beautiful person is beautiful even when angry.
So, Qiao Xia lifted her chin, "It's not impossible for me to find a way to help you save people, but..."
Zeng Manwen's throat bobbed and her eyelashes trembled slightly. "But what? Let me tell you, although I would do anything for my son, you can't go too far. I still prefer men."
Qiao Xia rolled her eyes speechlessly, "What did you learn at the Mu family?"
Half an hour later, Zeng Manwen's arm ached from holding the phone up in Qiao's office building. "Is this what you were talking about?"
Qiao Xia sat in front of the camera and nodded matter-of-factly, "To dress up beautiful people in beautiful clothes and capture their most beautiful moments in the camera..."
Tony Zhang replied with a look of enjoyment, "This is a very happy thing."
The two gave each other a high five in unison, "That's right."
Zeng Manwen's lips twitched. "Your description is a bit scary, but if you're really interested in photography, you might consider becoming a director."
"Director?" Qiao Xia thought for a moment, then looked up in surprise. "Thank you, I'll think about it carefully."
Zeng Manwen sat down on the ground, exhausted. "The premise is that your family hasn't gone bankrupt by then. You've already lost once. Aren't you worried at all?"
Qiao Xia smiled and shook her head, "I'm not worried."
Based on her superficial understanding of the stock market, she believed it was a zero-sum game where the winner takes all and the loser is eliminated.
Ultimately, the high or low price of a company's stock is a false prosperity created by shareholders. Mu San wanted to use the stock market to swallow the Qiao family, which is why posts analyzing the capital behind Xingyao have exploded online.
The arrest and imprisonment of Li Yu's ex-husband, and the successive scandals involving artists under Xingyao, are all tactics used to induce shareholders to sell their shares. This is an opportunity for him to buy.
If the Qiao family doesn't want their assets to be wiped out, in addition to salvaging their image, they need to stabilize their stock performance, which requires money.
The reason the Qiao family went bankrupt was because Qiao Zhaoxing sold off all of the family's assets and then invested them in the stock market. This caused assets that were originally unrelated to the Qiao family to be trapped and eventually swallowed up, leaving them with huge debts.
If Mu San hadn't contacted other families in City A in time during this process, the Mu family would have suffered a severe blow as well.
If Mu San initially made his fortune on Wall Street with a small investment, the game completely changed after he took control of the Mu family. It became a case of the big fish eating the small fish, and the Mu family, as a behemoth, would only grow stronger, while small businesses at the bottom could only survive by fighting each other.
But the Qiao family is different. The three members of the Qiao family have the Godly Rich System in their hands, which is equivalent to having a continuous source of funds. We'll have to wait and see who wins against Mu Sanlu.
Even if they really lose, the Qiao family can always start over.
For Qiao Xia, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, so she doesn't need to be nervous about it.
Zeng Manwen was unaware of Qiao Xia's inner thoughts; she was only worried about her son, so she urged, "Let's set off now."
"Okay." Qiao Xia made a phone call to let her parents know she was safe and then took the helicopter away.
On the plane, Uncle Niu looked around nervously and asked, "Miss, is this a helicopter?"
"Are we going abroad now? Are we going to have a shootout soon? I've never even touched a gun in my life."
Uncle Niu's words reminded Qiao Xia that there might be a reason behind the rumors. Zeng Manwen described the island as a den of dragons and tigers, and coupled with the bomb under the ship last time, Qiao Xia felt that she should make more preparations.
So, on their way to the island, they made a detour to Country S, where, coincidentally, a weapons exhibition was taking place.
Not only Uncle Niu, but even Zeng Manwen's eyes lit up at the sight of these excellent devices, and the group went on a shopping spree along the way.
At the end of the purchase, the bearded sales assistant next to me said in broken Chinese, "If you like it, we can customize a pink AK for you and deliver it to you within two hours."
"Qiao Xia~" Zeng Manwen shook Qiao Xia's arm, her eyes conveying only two words: "I want it."
Qiao Xia waved her hand and equipped Zeng Manwen and Mu Xiaozhu with pink AKs worth three million US dollars each. Uncle Niu and the others were also equipped with their favorite weapons.
In addition, Qiao Xia bought the best bulletproof vests and helmets for everyone, after all, she only wanted to show them off, she didn't expect them to actually die.
I can have a go at guns before I go back home, but it wouldn't be good if I actually killed myself here.
Qiao Xia chose to carry two portable handguns on her person.
Seeing how generous they were, the bearded salesman gave them another ticket. Qiao Xia, with her limited vocabulary, realized that this was an invitation to attend an arms auction.
Qiao Xia was somewhat tempted. She was already dazzled by all the different kinds of guns at the weapons exhibition, and wondered what other good things might be available at the arms show.
Even if I can't buy it, it's good to just look at it.
Qiao Xia glanced at Zeng Manwen with regret. She was in a hurry to save people and could only hope that she could make it back to China in time.
She was about to refuse when she saw Zeng Manwen looking at her with a puzzled expression. "Go! It's a rare opportunity, of course you have to go!"
"Your son..."
Zeng Manwen said excitedly, "We're all brothers, so there's no rush to take action. Let's take a look at the exhibition first."
