Chapter 33: Compensation for Leakage
Denard had not expected that such a chain reaction would occur. He had been waiting for the museum's collections to be auctioned today so that he could fill the holes in other businesses.
Now more and more people are gathering around him to seek justice, all claiming that they have lost money doing business with him and want a refund and compensation.
Xu Youyou watched the fun with her eyes wide open. She couldn't help but feel anxious for Denard, thinking that the other party would probably have to pay a heavy price.
Unexpectedly, Denard, who had been a good man, suddenly showed a fierce look: "If you want to return it, then step on my dead body!"
The others who were originally making a lot of noise suddenly fell silent.
Xu Youyou wanted to watch the fun for a while longer, but was pulled away by Lu Jingyao, who had just received a refund and compensation.
Everyone was stuffed into the car, and Xu Youyou was still complaining: "If we wait any longer, there will be a fight. Don't you care about such a good-looking and lively scene?"
The corner of Lu Jingyao's mouth twitched, and he casually pointed to a store at the intersection.
Xu Youyou looked over and saw that the store was selling guns.
Lu Jingyao: "Let me remind you that guns are allowed freely here, so don't rush to watch everything."
Xu Youyou immediately felt guilty. She seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Mr. Denard's words are so effective? Why did those people not dare to bother him when he said he would not return the money?"
Xu Youyou felt that if this kind of situation happened in the country, it would take several days to argue about it.
Lu Jingyao said: "The Denard family used to be a gangster."
Xu Youyou suddenly realized and asked in a low voice: "How can a gangster go bankrupt in business?"
Lu Jingyao said: "Where in this world is there a business that is guaranteed to make a profit?"
He suddenly took out a check book and started writing the check.
Xu Youyou curiously leaned over to take a look, then her eyes widened at the amount: "One hundred million! You are really willing to spend it. Who are you going to give it to?"
The next second, Lu Jingyao tore off the check with a swift movement and handed it to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou: Huh? Brother, why did you suddenly spend money when we have a disagreement?
Lu Jingyao explained: "I want to keep part of the compensation given by the Denard family to pay taxes, so I can only give you this much."
Xu Youyou thought that the compensation was one-fifth of the total price. She didn't know whether to sigh that even the compensation had to be taxed, and the tax amount was so high, or to sigh that Lu Jingyao was a person who always had a cold face, but he was kind! He really gave money when he had it! "This... I didn't help much... Actually, you don't have to give it to me..." Xu Youyou said politely.
Lu Jingyao did not expose her false politeness, but said: "This is what you deserve. If I hadn't brought you on this trip, I would have lost so much money in vain. Take it. I never treat those who have helped me unfairly."
Xu Youyou's hand was about to touch the check, but after he persuaded her, she immediately took it.
This is 100 million! She got it by her own ability! She made 100 million by picking up bargains independently without any system prompts!
The car entered the Aman Hotel. When getting out of the car, Xu Youyou shamelessly bothered Lu Jingyao again: "I want to ask your people to help deliver the stone sculpture to my room."
As the driver opened the trunk, a speechless look gradually appeared on Lu Jingyao's face.
"People at the museum said it was an antique." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao pointed to the hat on the stone sculpture, where there was a very conspicuous straight line: "This is the mark left by the electric cutting blade. Don't tell me you can't see it."
Xu Youyou followed the direction Lu Jingyao pointed and noticed the obvious cutting line. She was in a hurry to find something that was missing and didn't look at it carefully at all. Now she could only smile awkwardly.
“How much did you spend?”
"It's not expensive, just ten thousand dollars. Just consider it as a waste of money." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao reminded him again: "If you bring such a heavy stone sculpture back to China, it will cost you a lot of money. How do you plan to ship it back, by sea or by air?"
Xu Youyou said without hesitation: "Of course it's air transport!"
Air freight is expensive. Lu Jingyao's brows were almost knotted. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you like stone carving very much?"
Xu Youyou couldn't tell the truth. The system asked her to buy this stone sculpture. Even if it was not an antique, she was not confident about shipping it by sea. It would be best if it flew back to the country with her, only then would she feel at ease.
"I like it, I like it very much!" said Xu Youyou.
Lu Jingyao didn't say anything more. After asking his men to help send it to Xu Youyou's room, Xu Youyou didn't see him again for the next two days.
Even the game project that Xu Youyou wanted to invest in was approached by Lu Jingyao's investment team, who took her to talk to Peter.
Xu Youyou spent 10 million US dollars and promised not to interfere with the content of the game, and finally obtained 70% of the shares of this newly established game company.
The head of the investment team advised Xu Youyou at the time: "Ms. Xu, you are optimistic about this project, but sometimes the more shares you take, the better. After all, the core of this project is in their hands. Only by making appropriate concessions can they complete their work better."
After Xu Youyou heard him talk about Lu Jingyao's past successful investment cases, her doubts were finally dispelled. Although she felt it was a pity that she only got 70% of the shares, she also understood that it was impossible for her to earn all the money.
[Congratulations to the host for completing two looting tasks in a short period of time and receiving the reward: Primary Martial Arts Mastery.]
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up when she looked at the system's prompt. Although the reward she received was labeled "beginner level", the system's beginner level has always corresponded to the advanced level in the real world.
After all, the basic porcelain appraisal she got last time enabled Xu Youyou to reach the same appraisal level as a professional appraiser.
A warm current surged in her body, and then she waved her hand casually, and her body seemed to be much more agile.
Xu Youyou only felt that she was terribly strong now.
After completing two bargain hunting missions in succession, the system stopped refreshing the tasks, and Xu Youyou finally had time to take a good look around New York.
After two days of shopping, Xu Youyou had spent a lot of money, but the more materially satisfied she was, the emptier she seemed inside. She used to envy Gu Xueying for spending money like water, but now that it was her turn and her desire to buy had been fully satisfied, she actually felt that this feeling was nothing special.
She looked at the system that had been silent for two days, and she felt itchy, so she asked the hotel manager, "Is there any auction going on in New York recently?"
The job of a hotel butler is to do his best to serve the guests. Hearing this, he felt embarrassed: "Ms. Xu, there is indeed an auction in the near future, but the auction invitation is very strict."
Seeing that the butler had no way to get the invitation letter, Xu Youyou asked again, "Are they all high thresholds? Aren't there any low thresholds? There are no private auctions either?"
Xu Youyou felt that picking up bargains was too addictive. If she didn't pick up something for a day, she would feel like ants crawling all over her body. She now urgently wanted to pick up something.
After thinking for a while, the hotel manager said, "Miss Xu, if you are interested, you can participate in the storage auction."
