With his back to the camera, Manager Zhang scowled at Shui Yiyao, his eyes threatening, his tone concerned, "Are you frightened out of your mind?"
"Why are you glaring at me?" Shui Yiyao exposed him in public and sneered, "Confused? I'm awake now."
She didn't want to be in the entertainment industry anymore. After all, she couldn't sing, dance, or act, and she had no interest in learning. Without the talent to make money in the entertainment industry, she might as well get into jade carving.
But Shui Yiyao's contract is for three years. This is only the first year, so there are still two years left.
If she takes the initiative to terminate the contract, she will have to pay liquidated damages. Now that she is poor, she can't take the initiative to terminate the contract. It would be best if the company fired her. It is also okay to put her on ice, but it is best not to assign her any work so that she can do her own thing.
"I'm tired. I'm going back to rest." Shui Yiyao walked away from Zhang and Yue Xi, then turned back to look at Bai Gege, "I'll come to see you tonight."
Bai Gege: "You should take a rest."
Shui Yiyao smiled and said, "No, sweetheart, I still have some strength left."
After waving to Bai Gege, Shui Yiyao turned around and walked towards her residence.
Agent Zhang and Yue Xi were left with grim expressions.
The camera followed Shui Yiyao back, and no one dared to ask her what happened underwater. There was silence all the way.
It was Shui Yiyao who took the initiative to ask: "Don't you have any questions?"
The assistant director then spoke: "What did you experience underwater? How did you escape?"
Shui Yiyao thought for a moment and said, "I'm not really sure. I just know that something pulled me into the river and took me upstream for a swim."
"It's a fish."
The assistant director asked someone to show the video to Shui Yiyao.
Shui Yiyao took the tablet and saw the scene of her falling into the water on the screen. Just as she fell into the water, a golden fish tail gently cut across the water surface and disappeared in an instant.
Golden tail, that's her own tail.
After she entered the water, her true form was revealed.
"Oh, a big goldfish..." She turned off the video, changed the subject, and asked the assistant director, "Is this considered a work-related injury?"
She cried for help, but the production crew ignored her. Fortunately, she came back. If she had died in the water, the show would have been over.
Assistant Director: "Don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"Okay, hurry up."
The director team sent Shui Yiyao back to her residence and left.
Shui Yiyao went home and changed into clean clothes. After two minutes of dressing, she tied her hair up and sat down in front of her computer, turning it on and searching for information on seawater purifiers.
“Seawater purifiers… that’s a lot.”
She randomly opened a shopping mall website and saw a lot of information about seawater purifiers. She chose one that looked reliable.
Deepsea Group, a large company that cooperates with the government, is committed to improving the marine environment and has developed many such products.
She clicked on a seawater purifier that was selling well.
The selling price is 10,000,000 yuan.
She rubbed her eyes and carefully counted the zeros.
Ten million!
She looked at the details again. Each machine could only purify 100 cubic meters of seawater, which is a 5x5x4 space. They had more than 50 mermaids, so if they squeezed everyone in, it would take at least 500 cubic meters.
Fifty million?
How much was Shui Yiyao's pay for the film...?
She searched her mind for past memories.
Salary: 1 million per episode.
Her contract was to record only one episode, and the production team had already paid the full amount, so she and the company split the money 50-50.
That is five hundred thousand.
One percent of fifty million.
Wait, there’s also that golden bean, the mermaid’s tears, aren’t they said to be worth a fortune?
Yes, you can sell that.
The problem is that something like Mermaid Tears cannot be sold through normal channels. And it has to be kept secret, otherwise it could easily lead to fatal disasters.
black market.
Huang Yiyao's eyes darkened, and she skillfully searched for a website on the web - Abyss.
Online black market. In her previous life, she had seen people using this website to sell illicit goods. Because it was a Bitcoin transaction and had a special encryption method, it was exceptionally secure.
Because of its absolute security, it is particularly favored by illegal transactions such as black and gray industries, and can evade official investigations.
Sure enough, I found it in a short while. The interface of this black market is still so simple, but it is very clean and there are no pop-up ads.
After a while, she successfully registered an account, followed the tutorial, filled in the information of "Mermaid Tears", and held an auction ceremony.
Auction item: [Golden Mermaid Tears.]
Starting price: [? ]
She checked and found that the current exchange rate of one Bitcoin was 10,000 yuan. She simply filled in 100 yuan.
One million, let’s try it first.
After filling in the information, she clicked the button to start the auction.
System prompt: If the transaction is successful, the system will charge a 1% handling fee. Do you confirm to proceed with the auction?
1%. If the amount is 1 million, then the handling fee is 10,000 yuan. So expensive.
But there is no other way, this is the safest way at the moment.
Shui Yiyao clicked confirm, and the system speaker flashed across the top of the screen: The seller "Yu" is auctioning an item on the exchange - [Golden Mermaid Tears], with a starting price of [100 coins]!
-a116: What are Golden Mermaid Tears?
-B169: It’s fun to cheat people, right? I might buy 0.01 coins just for fun.
Shui Yiyao was also unsure.
There are only about fifty mermaids left in the world, and none of the existing mermaids sell them, so these mermaid tears must be a rare item, rarely available on the market. Scarcity makes things valuable, I think.
If she can't sell it for 1 million, she'll lower the price by 500,000. If she can't sell it for 500,000, she won't buy it. She'll sell the jade carving more cheaply.
Buyer "a" bids, bidding price [200 coins]!
The first bid appeared on the screen, and Shui Yiyao was startled. Someone was actually buying it? The bidder's name had been anonymized, and Shui Yiyao felt a sense of unreality.
You're raising the price by 1 million right away? Are you rich?
People on the public channel were more surprised than she was.
-b169: How dare you buy such unknown things!
-a116: You really know how to have fun.
-F899: What’s the big deal? If it’s real mermaid tears, and of gold quality, I can double the price.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the bidding information was refreshed.
Buyer "b" bids, bid price [400 coins]!
4 million!
That’s amazing, it doubled in an instant.
Buyer "c" bids, bid price [400.5 coins]!
Buyer "d" bids, bid price [400.8 coins]!
The decimal point is even calculated, it seems that this mermaid's tears is about the price range.
Buyer "b" bids, bid price [401 coins]!
Buyer "c" bids, bid price [401.5 coins]!
Buyer "d" bids, bid price [401.8 coins]!
There were only four buyers, A, B, C, and D, bidding, but Buyer A didn't show up again except at the beginning. The remaining three bidders increased the price by half a coin each.
After several rounds of transactions, the total amount reached 408.5 coins.
Half a coin is worth 5,000 yuan. Shui Yiyao was very excited and kept refreshing the information.
Suddenly, the bidding information stopped.
Shui Yiyao paused her mouse and looked at the previous message.
Buyer "a" bids, bidding price [1000 coins]!
...10 million? 10 million!
How can this thing be so valuable?
Shui Yiyao was shocked. She had also seen jade of this price in the jade circle, but that kind of jade was generally of good quality, good color, and large in size, and could be passed down as antiques.
This mermaid's tear looks no different from a golden pearl in quality, and it's not very big either. The production date was only two hours ago, so it's impossible for it to be an antique.
Why is it worth so much money?
The system countdown was ten seconds, and no one bid anymore. The transaction was completed at 10 million. Shui Yiyao heard the system notification sound that the money had arrived in her account.
She opened her account and took a look. The account balance was 990 coins. Oh, and there was a handling fee of 10 coins.
It hurts, a handling fee of 100,000 yuan.
Shui Yiyao covered her heart.
"Ding Dong, buyer 'Jin' initiated a transfer to you for 10 coins. Please check."
She was stunned and opened the transaction interface.
Jin: I will bear the handling fee.
Yu: Thank you, boss!
Jin: Golden mermaid tears, as long as they are real, I want as many as you can get, all at this price.
This is really generous. Does this boss want a long-term partnership?
Shui Yiyao paused. As long as mermaid tears appeared on the market, it was easy to suspect the existence of mermaids. So it was normal for this person to guess her mermaid whereabouts and want to establish a long-term deal.
Under normal circumstances, she would have better not sell this thing, as life safety is the most important thing.
But she was short of money, very short of it.
Yu: I'll take care of the handling fee. You've already paid so much money, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to ask you to pay for it.
Jin: There's nothing inappropriate about it. The market value of Golden Mermaid Tears is around 10 million. You chose the wrong time. It's during the working hours. If you came at night when it's more crowded, who would let those half-coin enthusiasts jump?
Jin: I'm telling you this just to show my sincerity. I want to be in this for the long term. As long as you pay me back, I'll take every ten million I can, and I'll settle any amount under ten billion right here and now.
Jin: Of course, you can come at 11pm, during peak hours, to see how much you can get at the auction.
Jin: See if what I said is true before deciding whether to cooperate or not.
Yu: No more trying. Boss, 10 million, I'll contact you directly when the goods are available.
Jin: Well, happy trading.
Yu: Happy trading!
It was just so pleasant.
How can it be so easy to get ten million?
Fifty million, five tears and it's done.
She has to cry.
No, she can't cry now, she wants to laugh so much.
While smiling, she opened the shopping mall website she had just saved and quickly placed an order for a seawater purifier.
She laughed for ten minutes before she stopped.
No, stop laughing, now you have to cry. Cry your heart out, you will become rich overnight.
No, I can't cry because my emotions are not ready yet.
Um...can I smoke my eyes with onions?
