Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Spending Money Day 94
Graduation is a happy thing.
Liu Yue was flipping through the graduation photo album in her hand. She had just finished the photo shoot the day before yesterday. The photography studio had selected the pictures yesterday and quickly completed the post-processing. Today she received the physical album.
Yes, the printed texture was much better than she had imagined.
In addition to photos, there are also videos.
The studio also helped her shoot a vlog, which included both the formal tassel-pulling scenes and "behind-the-scenes" of the various preparatory work. She and her roommates laughed and joked, and made faces at the camera... This team is quite good at selecting materials.
Because her university was in Shenzhen, Liu Yue did not feel any reluctance when she left school. However, when she looked back at the pictures, texts and videos from the past few days, she felt a bit of nostalgia and sadness in her heart.
Forget it, don’t think about it.
Liu Yue decided to do something very fashionable and appropriate to the situation - a graduation trip!
In fact, she was just looking for an excuse to go out and play, but who would expose her?
Liu Yue was thinking about the destination with great interest. She searched for recommended travel destinations for June on Xiaohongshu, and found that they were all popular check-in spots.
Liu Yue definitely doesn't like to go to places with a lot of tourists. And now that summer vacation is almost here and more families are traveling with children, she doesn't want to join in the crowd even more.
Liu Yue poked the system: "Are there any fragments recently?"
The system's answer was no, which made Liu Yue feel regretful.
Then let her choose the place herself...Where should we go?
Liu Yue suddenly remembered a character named Ai Suotome in Crayon Shin-chan. She was a wealthy woman who randomly decided which kindergarten she would attend by throwing darts, thus experiencing the life of ordinary people.
This is fun, she wants to play this too!
Although the turntable can be replicated on mobile phones, how can clicking on the screen compare to actually throwing darts?
Liu Yue had an idea, and the assistant team took action immediately.
The turntable was easy to use, and the contents of the foam board could be printed out instantly. The world is huge, with over 200 countries and regions, all printed on a large enough circular map. It was quite impressive to see.
Once we reach the national level, it may not be necessary to further divide it into administrative regions.
After all, there are only a few major countries in the world with rich tourism resources, and with Liu Yue's leisurely nature, she can definitely hang out outside for a long time and play until she wants to go home.
Sang Yu pushed the turntable hard and Liu Yue threw the dart.
Even if the turntable is stationary, she can't see what's in each grid... let alone when it moves, it's just a blind box.
She had good aim and hit the turntable on the first try.
Liu Yue went over to check the target, Luxembourg.
The name sounded like a European country, and Sang Yu introduced it to her:
"It's a small country on the border of Germany and France, and its neighbor is Belgium."
Sang Yu's description of it as a small country is really a very objective description.
Luxembourg's land area is 2,586.3 square kilometers, while Shenzhen's area is 1,994.47 square kilometers, which is not a big difference.
But as we all know, Guangzhou, also a big city in Guangdong, is 3.7 times the size of Shenzhen. Shenzhen’s area is actually not that big…
Luxembourg is a popular destination for tourists, but most of them visit as part of a European itinerary, or as a side trip to Germany or France. If you consider it your only destination, you'll miss out on the many things you can experience.
Liu Yue looked at the map of Europe and thought she could go there for a trip. She had only been to Switzerland before, and there were still many places she had not visited.
"First to Luxembourg, then to Belgium, then north to the Netherlands, then south to Germany, through Austria, to Italy, and finally France..."
Liu Yue thought for a moment and said, "I remember Chanel invited me to participate in the Haute Couture Fashion Show, right? I think it was in July."
Sang Yu: "Yes, and more than one brand has invited you."
That's great. She had only seen some samples before, and it would be even better to see the full show.
Liu Yue set the preliminary travel itinerary, and the assistant team was responsible for finalizing the details and planning food, accommodation and transportation arrangements in advance.
She hugged Lucas and said, "Mommy will take you out this time~"
Bringing pets to Europe is not an easy thing. Liu Yue had this idea when she went to Switzerland before, but kittens have to undergo serum testing three months in advance before entering the country.
After getting the rabies vaccine, Liu Yue took Lucas to have his blood drawn and got a blood test certificate, which would come in handy now.
Sang Yu will go to the customs to handle the formalities, and Ren Zhen is contacting the charter flight, and is expected to depart the day after tomorrow.
Liu Yue had no objection to the time. If she didn't have to worry about Lucas, she could leave from Hong Kong tonight - she and all the team members had no problems with passports and visas.
But for the cat, Liu Yue was willing to wait, and chartering a flight was more convenient and comfortable, without having to stop in Switzerland for a transfer.
Liu Yue quickly felt fortunate that she had made such a decision, because she won 1 billion yuan the next day.
It's ridiculous that she didn't even sign in until 11 a.m. because she got up in the morning and played a few games and forgot about it.
Liu Yue had forgotten before. She even remembered to sign in at four o'clock in the afternoon. But the numbers she drew that day were all ten thousand or one hundred thousand, which was not difficult at all. So whether she signed in early or late, or whether she forgot or not, it didn't make much difference to her.
But it’s not possible today, the prize we draw today is 1 billion!
Liu Yue was certainly excited about the 1 billion, but it was so sudden. How could she spend it? And it was already 11 o'clock in the morning!
Fortunately, she hadn't set off yet, otherwise she would have been completely clueless if she had gotten this result on the plane.
Liu Yue realized that she had been too lazy recently. She had deliberately adjusted her time to the East Tenth District just to know the result the night before and make arrangements before going to bed.
The result? She was in a state of mental blackout, unable to think of where to spend the 1 billion yuan.
System reminder: "Host, there are 10 hours and 42 minutes left until the mission ends."
Liu Yue grabbed her hair with both hands: "Okay, okay, don't rush me, I get it. I didn't sign in before going to bed last night, and I didn't sign in when I got up early. I'm so stupid, really..."
Tong, even if you want to whip her as the host, you can't launch such a surprise attack!
It would be a big loss if the 1 billion was not spent, and it would be an even bigger loss if there was no cash back. Liu Yue could never accept such an outcome.
She hasn't had a job since graduation, and spending money full-time is her only career. If she can't do well in this area, it would be too lame.
Liu Yue didn't have time to think about anything else at the moment and quickly spent the money she could.
First of all, it was a villa - she finally chose a villa near Shenwan Tiancheng as the cat paradise, and the price had already been negotiated.
Although the landlord was not in Shenzhen at the moment, he had entrusted a relative to help him handle these matters, and Liu Yue also signed an electronic contract with him.
Next, we will wait for him to return to Shenzhen, and the two of us will sign a paper contract, and then we can upload the online contract and go through the transfer procedures.
Liu Yue still remembered that the agreed price was 240 million yuan. She had visited the villa in person and it was truly beautiful. The entire community was well-landscaped, and walking into it was like entering a natural oxygen bar. There were private gardens of over 500 square meters in front and back.
Moreover, there are no strict "neighbors" in the villa. The distance between each villa is wide, and there are separate fork roads. No matter how Liu Yue and Lucas play in the villa, there should be no problem of disturbing others.
She first locked up the payment for the villa, and then asked Sang Yu: "Is there any progress on the chef's dormitory? What is the landlord's attitude?"
The last time she asked, the landlord was reluctant to buy it;
This time, Sang Yu said that the deal was almost done and the landlord was willing to sell the house. If Liu Yue wanted to settle this matter before the trip, she could arrange for the landlord to come out today to sign the contract.
Liu Yue asked, "How much money does he want?"
"Forty million."
Eh, Liu Yue was a little surprised by the price.
She'd bought several apartments in Deep Bay Sky City and was well aware of the housing prices there. The most expensive units were the large, fully occupied flats, while apartments with multiple smaller units on one floor were relatively affordable.
The chef team lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Building 6, which was over 200 square meters. Forty million yuan was a reasonable price, even a bit cheap. The landlord was reluctant to sell it, and Liu Yue thought she would have to raise the price to fifty million yuan, or even higher, to buy it.
Being able to buy a house today was certainly a good thing, but Liu Yue still asked curiously, "How did you negotiate with him?"
Sang Yu said that she first investigated the landlord's social circle and asked his friends indirectly why he was unwilling to sell the house.
The reason was very simple. He had consulted a fortune teller before, who said that this house would bring him good fortune. As long as he held the property rights, he would be able to attract many noble people to help him, and he and his descendants would be safe and prosperous.
Liu Yue: ...
No, aren't you so superstitious?
"How did you convince him?" Liu Yue asked. "How many episodes of Approaching Science did you show him?"
Sang Yu shook his head: "I helped him find another more powerful and famous master."
The master told him that this house had helped him attract Liu Yue - if he stood high enough, he should have a chance to find out that this was the only daughter of Ke Luo and He Xi (emphasis added)
Not to mention the entire Shenzhen, how many people in the world are more important than her? Being able to establish contact with her is something that many people would never ask for.
However, the Chinese believe that when water is full, it overflows, and when the moon waxes, it wanes. The house has already brought him enough benefits. If he continues to hold on to it, he will easily incur the envy of villains, and the house's influence on his fortune and misfortune will change. Don't be too greedy.
When others talked to him about the practical benefits, he refused to give in. Sang Yu found another master to talk to him about metaphysics. After listening, he felt that it made sense and quickly agreed to sell the house.
Liu Yue choked again, feeling as if there were a row of ellipsis marks above her head.
...Forget it, no matter what, as long as the goal is achieved.
This landlord is really superstitious. He even checked the calendar before signing the contract. Luckily, today is an auspicious day. But that’s not all. He even wants to calculate the auspicious time and choose an auspicious location. He even wrote the contract price of the house as 39.99 million because the number 4 is unlucky.
Before, Liu Yue would wash her hands every time she signed in and spun the cashback wheel, even rubbing them several times with hand sanitizer. She thought she was being very ritualistic, but compared to this landlord, it was nothing...
"Actually, I rely more on luck than he does," Liu Yue said with emotion. "He puts effort into his business, but I just gamble on my luck every day."
But she has already let it go. As for the system turntable, it can only be said that it is impossible to change it, and there is no way to spend money.
Moreover, the system gave her a surprise attack - after buying two houses, she only spent 280 million today. What should she do with the remaining 720 million?
After lunch, Liu Yue was still thinking about this matter.
She was going to sign the paper contract with the landlord that afternoon. Was she really going to squander the remaining 700 million yuan on the mall?
Alas, a billion-dollar surprise comes faster than tomorrow. From today on, she must sign in before going to bed, as long as it is time to sign in, sign in first and then go to sleep.
Liu Yue opened the memo on her phone, which contained two goals that required her to spend a lot of money: a yacht and a private jet.
Not to mention the yacht, she's familiar with the progress on that front. She was still selecting a boat model a few days ago, and the interior fit-out and options still need to be discussed. A contract definitely won't be signed today, and out of caution, the manufacturer might not be able to give her a relatively accurate estimate.
Airplanes... There are probably fewer things to consider when buying an airplane than a yacht. Unless you make major modifications, the price won't fluctuate much, but it's still difficult to get it done in a day.
And strictly speaking, it's only half a day now.
Liu Yue really wanted to ask Clo if he had any particularly expensive paintings in his gallery. If they were works by famous artists, it wouldn't be surprising if they sold for hundreds of millions.
But Clo was in the United States, and due to the time difference, it was already very late there, and Liu Yue felt embarrassed to disturb him.
Even if Cloe didn't mind, the gallery and the painting's owner wouldn't be able to accommodate her in signing the contract late at night. A painting worth hundreds of millions of yuan definitely wouldn't have a fixed price, so it would take some time to negotiate.
So, what about He Xi?
Liu Yue remembered that He Xi had a hobby of collecting antiques, so she would buy from her according to the market valuation. That should be fine, right?
But the system said no, she couldn't buy things directly from Clo and He Xi anyway.
Liu Yue didn’t understand, why not?
But this was not the time to argue with the system. Liu Yue suddenly had an idea.
By the way, when she was still in Hong Kong, she heard He Xi say that the private jet she ordered would be arriving soon.
The aircraft is a Gulfstream G700, an ultra-long-range business jet with a range of 13,890 kilometers, capable of direct flights to most routes around the world. Its performance is top-notch in every respect, representing the current state of the art in private jet technology and luxury.
——Of course, the aircraft that the wealthy people in the Middle East spent a lot of money to modify do not count.
Even the toilet is made of gold. Although Liu Yue cannot appreciate this aesthetic, objectively speaking, there is no comparison in terms of luxury.
Liu Yue had seen the design drawings. The aircraft cabin was 17.3 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, which was basically the most spacious among similar models.
The interior of a private jet can be freely designed. He Xi's onboard configuration includes a fully functional kitchen, conference room, audio-visual room, and a bedroom with a shower. The conference room is equipped with swivel seats that can be flattened and extended to become a bed.
This kind of air travel is really comfortable. You can bring your own chef and even take a shower! Watching a movie on a big screen in the sky is also a great experience.
Seeing that she seemed to like it very much, He Xi asked her if she needed it and said he could give the plane to her directly.
Liu Yue said no at the time. She did like it, but she wasn't ready to buy it immediately. She was more inclined to buy it herself, as she had to prepare for the 10 billion yuan plan in advance.
Thinking of this, Liu Yue immediately contacted He Xi - she couldn't care less about the hundreds of billions at the moment, and had to complete the task at hand first.
Fortunately, although He Xi was not in Hong Kong, the time difference between her and He Xi was close, and it was also daytime there, so she was able to get through to Liu Yue's call smoothly.
He Xi probably hasn't paid the final payment for that plane yet, and Liu Yue wants to "intercept" the order and buy the plane herself.
The system wouldn't let her buy He Xi's stuff, but that shouldn't be a problem in this case, right? He Xi hadn't paid in full yet, so strictly speaking, she wasn't the owner of the plane yet.
The system acquiesced, and He Xi agreed readily.
"No problem. I'll have my assistant look at the contract... The contract price for this aircraft is $105 million. I've already paid a $20 million deposit. You just need to pay the balance of $85 million."
Liu Yue calculated that the card given to her by the system could also be used to pay directly in US dollars, but the progress of the task completion would be settled through the exchange rate at the time of payment or locking the amount.
85 million US dollars, the current exchange rate is 607 million RMB, which is just short of her daily task.
Liu Yue said that she would transfer the deposit to He Xi. He Xi had no objection and agreed with her.
There was no need to divide her and Liu Yue's money so clearly; it would all belong to Liu Yue in the future.
Great, mission accomplished!
Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little embarrassed. It was because she hadn't planned ahead that she had intercepted He Xi's flight.
He Xi didn't care at all: "It's okay, I have five more, I just want to experience the new models."
"I'll give you this one first, and I'll buy another one."
Liu Yue was convinced after hearing this. She was worthy of being her mother He Xi.
Looking at the way he buys an airplane, I thought he was buying vegetables in the market.
He Xi also gave Liu Yue some advice. She would introduce her to a few reliable middlemen. If she needed to spend money suddenly again, she could buy a large amount of gold from them by the pound.
There are many uses for gold after it is purchased. She can make it into jewelry styles she likes, various ornaments, and even as clothing materials... Buy it first and use your imagination later.
If Liu Yue prefers sparkling jewellery, she also has a channel to purchase raw gemstones. After buying them, she can cut them however she wants and create any shape she wants, allowing her to DIY her own designs.
Even if the design doesn’t look good, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to enjoy the process and have fun. It’s mainly for fun.
These channels have one thing in common, which is that the quantity is relatively large. As long as they have enough goods, Liu Yue can spend a lot of money at one time.
This solved the problem of Liu Yue not wanting to go all in mindlessly - if she spent money like this, she would always feel that she was losing out and it was boring.
If she buys something she doesn't like or feels nothing for, then who is she spending the money for?
But buying raw materials is different. Although she bought a large quantity and spent all the money in one day, the selection and customization steps are at the end, and she still has plenty of time to make them the way she likes.
Liu Yue suddenly understood.
It turns out that gold and jewelry can be played with like this... Why didn't she think of it before? It has to be He Xi.
Not only does she know how to make money, she is also very good at spending money. Before Liu Yue learns how to make money from her, she has to attend a small class on how to spend money first.
However, this one does seem to be more professionally relevant... Liu Yue was immediately fascinated and quickly wrote it down in her memo. As for how to contact these channels, her assistant team would take care of it.
Although it was unexpected and the billion didn't start spending until 11 o'clock, Liu Yue still managed to sign the contract and snatch a plane from her mom before dinner, completing the spending mission! Congratulations!
It was a close call. Liu Yue wiped the non-existent sweat off her face.
Influenced by the superstitious landlord, she couldn't help but think more before drawing the cashback wheel.
When was the last time I got a 100% cashback? It seems like it's been a while, so will luck strike again this time?
Liu Yue went to wash her hands specifically, and recalled the steps she took to get the 10 billion cashback after buying a house. She took out her mobile phone and played "Good Luck" for herself as background music.
She pressed the dial, and the pointer spun rapidly...
Finally, the pointer stopped at the 80% grid. Liu Yue was a little disappointed, but overall she was relieved.
She consoled herself with the fact that this was a very good result. Eight hundred million was already far more than the guaranteed 10% income, and she should have known rationally that not getting 100% was perfectly normal.
When water is full, it overflows; when the moon waxes, it wanes... Since this is a matter of luck, we still have to believe in metaphysics! Steady flow is the most important thing!
Congratulations to herself, another 800 million in savings! That's the point.
Liu Yue quickly adjusted her mentality, and her efficiency was even higher than the system expected.
Compared to the joy of getting 800 million, many people would regret losing 200 million. This is human nature.
In fact, Liu Yue’s first reaction was no exception - especially since she had actually won 1 billion, how could she not feel disappointed?
But her extremely insensitive personality...is a perfect match for the system mechanism.
As usual, the system will ask: "Which account will the cashback be deposited into?"
Eight hundred million! If the banks knew she was going to deposit such a large sum of money, the branch presidents would have to take action again.
Liu Yue actually has two investment advisors, but she rarely uses them. Out of a conservative mindset, she allocates most of her assets to savings, and her investments are relatively conservative, focusing on low risk and low returns.
Hmm… This time she should be able to activate her advisors.
The two people were sent by Clo and He Xi respectively. Liu Yue planned to deposit 400 million in the bank, and the two people were allocated 200 million each to invest in their respective areas of expertise.
Whether it is stock funds, buying houses and land, or industrial investment... as long as you can provide a reliable solution, it will be fine.
Liu Yue had no other thoughts. She just wanted to test the waters with the 400 million and experience the feeling of investing. Although the system said she had no talent for making money, she thought it should be okay to leave professional matters to professionals.
Liu Yue gave a few instructions, and the assistant arranged all these things before leaving.
Zhang Cheng drove her to the airport, followed closely by a low-key car.
Zhang Cheng and Ren Zhen were both aware of their presence—they were the bodyguards Ke Luo and He Xi had assigned to Liu Yue. After her identity was revealed to a small group of people, they both felt that they needed a few more people around their daughter.
They also lived in Building 6, and wherever Liu Yue went, they followed her not far away. In order to catch those who were interested by surprise, these bodyguards were very secretive, and even Liu Yue herself was unaware of their existence.
Liu Yue, who is well protected, is petting a cat in the car and is looking forward to the upcoming European trip.
As a child, she wanted to "travel around the world," but as she grew older, she felt that this goal was far away. But now, it is within reach.
