Chapter 257 The Richest Man in the World
This caused Xiao Liyue's amulets on the window to be sold out the next day. At one thousand yuan each, it was really a good deal.
You should know that the price of an amulet on the market has been hyped up to more than 100,000 yuan, but most people are unwilling to sell it because one ID card can only be used to buy it once. Once they sell it, they will never be able to buy the amulet again. Owning an amulet is equivalent to having a chance to save life, so except for the very poor, basically no one is willing to sell it.
Then in the window there are various talismans such as talismans to ward off evil spirits, peace talismans, exorcism talismans, luck talismans, marriage talismans, etc. The prices are different, and each talisman can only be purchased once a year. Although the price is several thousand, they are still sold for tens of thousands per piece outside.
Xiao Liyue didn't care about all these. In just a month and a half, she had become the richest person in the world and had so much money that she had no idea where to spend it.
Making money is no longer among her goals; instead, finding something with spiritual power and improving her own strength is what is important.
While she was practicing, Jiang Che came to her with an old man.
Jiang Che introduced politely: "Master Xiao, this is Professor Hou, a famous ancient artifact expert in the empire."
The old man in front of him looked at Xiao Liyue and said respectfully: "Hello, Master Xiao, I am a professor of ancient artifacts. I came to you this time because we need your help."
"What help? I won't help you with killing people to silence them." Xiao Liyue joked.
Professor Hou laughed and said, "Haha... Master Xiao is really good at joking. Don't worry, we just want you to accompany us to Country M."
Xiao Liyue frowned and said, "Going abroad! How long will it take? I have to register for Imperial University next week."
"Don't worry, Master Xiao, it will only take a week at most to go to Country M, so you will definitely not be late for registration at Imperial Capital University." Professor Hou said.
"Okay! I'm glad we can make it back. What are you going to do in Country M this time?" Xiao Liyue asked curiously.
Jiang Che said indignantly: "A hundred years ago, Country M and other countries invaded and robbed me of many ancient cultural relics. Now they are openly being auctioned at the world auction house. So we want to take you to protect these cultural relics and bring them back to China safely."
"Then why don't you bring more people with you? That way you can protect these ancient artifacts." Xiao Liyue asked puzzledly.
Professor Hou shook his head and said, "We would like to, but the World Auction House does not allow accompanying persons to enter. Only the rich with the Supreme International Black Card can enter the World Auction House."
Xiao Liyue waved her hands helplessly and said, "I'm afraid I don't have the Supreme International Black Card! So how can I get in?"
Jiang Che coughed lightly and said, "Ahem... Master Xiao is too low-key. We have already estimated your total assets. You are now the richest man in the world."
"Oh! Really? I didn't pay much attention. Huang Juan managed these for me."
Professor Hou smiled and said, "We will take you to register for the Supreme International Black Card today. After you have the card, we will go directly to Country M."
Xiao Liyue nodded: "Yes!"
So Jiang Che drove to the International Bank, and after a series of operations, Xiao Liyue finally got the Supreme International Black Card.
After finishing the process, the three of them went to the airport and boarded a plane to Country M.
When they arrived in Country M, it was already night, so they rested for one night in a five-star hotel.
After breakfast the next day, they went to the World Auction House. Because the auction was open from nine in the morning to twelve at night, Professor Hou did not want to miss any cultural relics belonging to the empire.
After going through numerous tests, the three finally entered the World Auction House.
Xiao Liyue looked at Jiang Che. She didn't expect that he actually had assets worth hundreds of billions. It really shows that one cannot judge a book by its cover.
Jiang Che was stared at by her, and his handsome face was a little embarrassed and said: "My family is a listed company, so I have some money."
"Really? I didn't expect that Major General Jiang is also from a wealthy family. This company with a market value of 100 billion is not an ordinary listed company. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance." Xiao Liyue said with emotion.
"Master Xiao, please stop teasing me. Compared with yours, my family can't even rank." Jiang Che said helplessly.
You have to know that the empire has a population of more than 3 billion. Although one piece is only one thousand, it is not expensive, but more than 3 billion pieces have been sold, which is a sky-high price. Not to mention other talismans, the least sold talisman has sold 1 billion pieces, and the total money is simply shocking.
Xiao Liyue is rich enough to rival a country. Even if she wants to build an empire now, it is no problem.
Professor Hou smiled and said, "You are both too modest. One of you is the former richest man in the world, and the other is the current richest man in the world, so the two of you are incomparable to others."
Suddenly, a beautiful blonde girl from Country M in a red dress pushed Xiao Liyue away in a hurry, and turned back to curse her viciously before leaving.
Jiang Che, who understood what she said, changed his expression. He stepped forward, took her hand, and said in standard American dialect: "Please apologize to my friend!"
The blonde beauty said in surprise: "Why should I apologize to her, an imperial citizen? This is the M Country, not a place where your Empire can be arrogant."
"Because you bumped into her and scolded her, ma'am, please apologize to my friend." Jiang Che said firmly.
Suddenly, the blonde beauty panicked and shouted, "Ah! Someone, come! Someone from the Empire molested me, can someone come and save me?"
Soon, the security guards nearby looked at Jiang Che ferociously.
"This gentleman, please let go of this lady's hand, or we will drive you out of the World Auction House."
Jiang Che remained calm and said, "She hit someone and humiliated her, but I just asked her to apologize to my friend. Is that wrong?"
Some people nearby stood on the side of the blonde beauty, while others demanded that she apologize and not bring shame to the M country.
The blonde beauty smiled happily when she saw that many people were on her side.
Xiao Liyue looked displeased and walked up to her and slapped her twice, turning her face into a pig's head.
When the security guard saw her hitting someone, he immediately pulled out his gun and said, "Don't move. How dare you hurt someone at the auction? I advise you to leave and don't force us to shoot."
"Really? If you have the guts, just shoot and see." Xiao Liyue looked at them coldly.
Professor Hou comforted him, "Master Xiao, don't bother with them. Let's get out first."
Jiang Che also said, "Master Xiao, let's leave first! They are real guys. Now we are in their territory of Country M. If we have a falling out, we will be in danger."
"It's impossible to retreat. How can we, the Imperials, surrender? Let me see if they dare to shoot." Xiao Liyue walked straight towards the security guard.
The security guards had never seen such a scene before, so they quickly loaded their guns and prepared to shoot.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from a distance: "Stop, don't be so rude to the respected guests."
A man from country M in a white suit and tie came over and looked at Xiao Liyue with an apologetic expression.
