Fu Jingheng: "The troublemakers are here."
Qin Sheng lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Yin Ze on the other side: "My second brother mentioned before that among the forces vying with him for control of the port, the Arad family was one of them?"
Yin Ze nodded: "Yes."
He glanced at the lobby downstairs and lowered his voice slightly: "The underground trading market is one of them."
That's quite a coincidence.
Qin Sheng lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Qin Shi'an came to the outer area this time to open up economic channels between China and M continent.
The most crucial point in opening up the passage is control of the port.
The major ports in the M continent are controlled either by the US government or by powerful forces in the M continent.
High customs duties and various huge "black market" revenues have caused goods that originally cost tens or hundreds of yuan to skyrocket to thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan when they are resold in China.
Similarly, it is extremely difficult for Chinese goods to be exported to the M continent.
Well, it's mainly a matter of money.
As a model citizen who has helped the country earn a lot of money and has to pay large sums of taxes from time to time, Qin Sheng felt that these forces that were constantly exploiting China were actually exploiting her as well.
This is not allowed.
Her second brother handled the negotiations, so she didn't need to worry about it. However, she could help resolve a few troubles along the way.
After all, trouble has come knocking on our door.
Having made up her mind, Qin Sheng glanced back at Fu Jingheng.
She didn't speak, but Fu Jingheng understood what she meant.
He chuckled softly and then looked away.
The group focused intently on the auction downstairs.
The auction featured a wide variety of items, but compared to the situation in the plaza outside where you could find only a few good items out of a hundred, the items brought in for auction were of much higher quality.
They are mostly high-quality products.
Antique calligraphy and paintings, wolf-hair brushes, and high-quality red silk inkstones...
A lost guqin (a seven-stringed zither), an ice-jade chessboard, exquisite ornaments, Tang Dynasty sancai (three-color) pottery, blue and white porcelain...
Limestone sculptures, vibrant oil paintings, old-fashioned guns...
Various gemstones and jade, jewelry accessories, special materials...
And so on and so forth, the list goes on.
Qin Sheng only glanced at it before losing interest.
Most of them are just collectibles with little practical value.
Her mother had provided her with all the more practical jewelry, but she didn't really want to wear them.
Otherwise, they would be subject to many restrictions whenever they wanted to get into a fight.
However, by watching this auction, Qin Sheng vaguely understood something.
Why would her second brother risk danger to come to this outlying area, hoping to open up economic channels as well?
China is a country that has suffered many disasters.
Qin Sheng, who had wandered the earth as a spirit for nearly three hundred years, witnessed firsthand the rise and fall of China, and its gradual resurgence.
Invaded, colonized, plundered...
The ancient Chinese left behind countless cultural treasures and riches for their descendants, but these treasures were destroyed and plundered in repeated invasions.
For every cultural relic destroyed, just as many items are scattered around the world.
Countless.
Bringing these things back to China will require the efforts of countless people over countless years.
The times are peaceful and the harvests are plentiful; the country is prosperous and the people are at peace.
Perhaps... her brothers weren't simply traveling around because they were controlled by the country, as she thought.
This was also their wish, and even her father's and mother's wish.
A slight ripple seemed to pass through her heart as Qin Sheng sat up straight and looked down at the auction stage.
"Six million dollars a time!"
"Six million dollars twice!"
"Six million dollars three times!"
"make a deal!"
Qin Sheng watched quietly, then silently withdrew her hand from the bidding button and retreated back into the sofa.
oh.
I have the will, but I lack the power.
Too expensive.
Let's talk about it after she pays off her debts.
Thinking of this, Qin Sheng looked at Fu Jingheng and asked, "When was the time you talked to Xi Fangzhou about that?"
Fu Jingheng was still pondering whether the little girl was interested in the guqin that had just been auctioned or not when he was suddenly asked. He didn't react for a second, then raised an eyebrow slightly: "They said there was some trouble between the forces in O Continent, so it might have to wait until the second half of the year."
If it's the second half of the year, then there's at least another six months.
Qin Sheng fell silent.
Paying off the debt seems a long way off.
The little girl looked a bit strange, and Fu Jingheng couldn't help but ask, "Are you interested in that?"
Qin Sheng glanced at him, then looked away, and said indifferently, "I'm interested in anything related to money."
Fu Jingheng: "..."
He chuckled to himself.
He immediately transferred 100 million to her.
Qin Sheng's gaze softened considerably upon seeing him: "Thank you."
Fu Jingheng: "...You're welcome."
As Yin Ze listened to their conversation, a gentle smile crossed his eyes, and he casually transferred 100 million yuan to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng: *^_^*
Become a millionaire every day.

The No. 3 VIP room remained quiet until the auction was nearing its end.
On the auction stage, a white girl with long, wavy blonde hair walked out carrying a tray in both hands.
The auctioneer lifted the red brocade cloth on the tray and announced in an incredibly excited voice, "The third to last item, the Tortoise Immortal Pill!"
"As everyone knows, the Turtle Herb is the signature creation of Shi Fang, the god of medicine, and the Turtle Herb Pill derived from it is extremely rare and hard to come by!"
"In particular, Lord Shifang has not accepted any bounties on the bounty list for two years, five months and twenty-eight days, and has not appeared again. Rumors about Lord Shifang's misfortune are circulating among the countries."
"Therefore, this Turtle Elixir, which is collected by our underground trading market, is very likely the last one in the world!"
"I won't go into the specific effects, starting bid: five million US dollars!"
"The auction begins!"
Almost as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a series of button clicks rang out, accompanied by bids, as countless attendees eagerly shouted out their prices.
Five million five hundred thousand!
"Five million one hundred thousand!"
"Five million two hundred thousand!"
"Five million five hundred thousand!"
"..."
The bidding continued, eventually ending with a bland "twenty million".
Qin Sheng snapped out of her daze at the news of her "misfortune" and turned to look at Yin Ze beside her: "You want the Turtle Immortal Pill?"
Yin Ze smiled and nodded: "You know, I'm not in good health."
Of course she knew, but...
Qin Sheng shook his head: "The Turtle Immortal Pill won't work for your condition."
Meeting Yin Ze's questioning gaze, she pursed her lips and explained, "The main function of the Turtle Immortal Pill is to prolong life and replenish vitality for those whose lifespan is nearing its end and whose life force is exhausted."
Qin Sheng glanced at Yin Ze and said, "What you lack is vitality."
Therefore, the Turtle Elixir was, at best, better than nothing to him.
