Chapter 121
"I'm not as rich as Lao Zhou, so I give up." Hua Tianyu smiled bitterly, he didn't dare to gamble with 500 million RMB, although he was optimistic about the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda carved by Chen Haohuan, but just because he was optimistic, it didn't mean that he would necessarily make money, if he bought it and couldn't sell it, then his group would likely face the danger of not being able to run funds, but this danger was great.
"It seems that you are not destined for the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda, because someone has already offered a price of one billion RMB." Chen Haoxuan smiled proudly.
"One billion renminbi? Holy sh*t, twice as many as me. Who is it! So bull?" Zhou Xiang was surprised and asked.
"The world's tenth richest man, Amanci Binky, you should know for yourselves, but don't tell anyone else, yo! I am telling you this because I believe you." Chen Haohuan was serious.
"Don't worry, we're not nosy people. You are busy with your work! Lao Hua and I will just watch from the side." Zhou Xiang.
Chen didn't have time to chat with Zhou Xiang and the others, he continued to write his software program. Chen HaoXuan today is super busy, he needs to write a lot of software, such as antivirus software, firewall software, automatic maintenance software ....... Chen Hao Xuan knows that although the technology in this era is very backward, there are already a lot of hackers in this era as well, because the hackers nowadays are the most popular, the network protection is poor and hackers can often steal the information of the netizens.
To prevent hackers from messing with his site, Chan needed to write some protection software to help his site and all the surfers who come to his site.
At 17:30, Chen stood up and said loudly, "Off duty! You guys pack up your stuff and we'll go out to eat."
"Oh yea, finally something to eat." Yang Lin jumped for joy, his stomach had been hungry for a long time and Hua Lingwei and the others didn't say they were hungry, he was too embarrassed to say so.
Except Yang Lin and Liu Junfeng didn't have a car, everyone else had a car, Yang Lin and the two of them rode in Chen Hao Xuan's car together with Chen Yina.
When they arrived at the villa hotel, Chen Hao Xuan bullishly said to the waiter, "Give me one of your most luxurious private rooms, and in addition, bring up your most expensive wine and dishes."
During the meal, Yang Lin and Liu Junfeng saw what a rich man's life is like, eating mountains of delicacies and seafood and drinking hundreds of thousands of dollars of red wine.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Haohuan called for the waiter, and when the waiter reported the amount spent, Liu Junfeng and Yang Lin were stunned, eating a single meal was more than one million RMB, this was money that an ordinary person might not earn in their lifetime! It was eaten by them in one meal.
In fact, the food is not much money, mainly because of the expensive red wine, Yang Lin alone drank two bottles, two bottles of almost half a million. Yang Lin did not know how expensive the red wine was, but he felt that it was quite tasty anyway, so he tried his best to pour it in as if it were water. If Yang Lin knew that he had drunk more than half a million yuan of red wine, he would have felt guilty and he would rather have Chen Haoxuan give him more than half a million yuan, which he would take outside to buy white wine.
The day finally came on the 11th of August and it was the busiest day in the online world, basically everyone who was online would go into Chen Hao Xuan's website Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda. Thanks to Chen HaoXuan's preparation, he wrote a lot of protection software yesterday, otherwise his website would have surged in popularity and would have probably crashed.
At 12 noon, Chen HaoXuan and the others were busy while eating, and the auction began. Chen HaoXuan sent out his reserve price of RMB 500 million, with each bid not less than 10 million. When it was sent out, no one bid, and everyone was in awe, discussing why Chen Haohuan's Thousand Buddha Pagoda was so expensive. Five minutes later, the first bidder was Zhou Xiang, who offered RMB 510 million.
Chen Hao Xuan had previously filmed the Thousand Buddha Pagoda on video and uploaded it onto the internet, in order to reassure buyers that they didn't have to worry that what they were buying was different from what they were seeing. This is because Chen HaoXuan has made it clear that if the Thousand Buddha Pagoda is different from what is on the video, he will never charge the purchaser money. The highest price is offered by the purchaser, who does not have to pay immediately, but comes to Chen Haohuan's house and delivers the goods with one hand and pays with the other, which is absolutely safe.
The second bidder was a man from country Y, Hadi, a well-known entrepreneur, who offered 600 million RMB for Chen Haohuan's Thousand Buddha Pagoda.
Then Amanci Binky, who is well capitalised, made a bid of RMB 800 million. This caused a sensation on Chen Haohuan's website, and some media directly made the site live so that those members of the public who were watching TV could also know what was happening on Chen Haohuan's website.
The fact that so much money can be made from a single pagoda has given many sculptors the idea of carving pagodas.
Rich people from all over the world will not be able to breathe a deep sigh of relief when they see the price of each one offered. The popularity of Chen Haohuan's website was really too big and this made the media all over the world want to get the first line of news, so this created something else, all the news was reporting on Chen Haohuan's auction of the Thousand Buddha Pagoda. If there was a TV station that didn't cover it, no one would watch it.
Zhou Xiang, now at home, was staring at his computer watching Chen Haohuan's auction, and next to him was his good friend Hua Tianyu. Hua Tianyu spoke out to Zhou Xiang, "Old Zhou, someone else's bid is up to 800 million RMB, will you still follow?".
"Do you think I'm a real millionaire? How could I possibly compete with the world's richest men with more money! No more following." Zhou Xiang was unhappy.
"I see that after Little Xuan passes today, tomorrow will be the beginning of his soaring success." Hua Tianyu enthused.
"Yeah! A pagoda carved from water stone can be sold for so much money, and if he keeps on carving, then he will not be far from being rich." Zhou Xiang exclaimed.
Chen Haoxuan had actually thought about this question, so why didn't he do so? Carving a stupa and then not carving it? That's because he knows that if he keeps carving things and putting them up for sale, then the price of his work will fall. But if he only sells one piece a year, or a few years, then the price of his work will probably only go up, not down.
In Chen's village, all the villagers were watching TV at home, and they were all very concerned about Chen Haohuan. They finally know today what Chen Haoxuan is capable of, there are no millionaires in their village, let alone billionaires. Although they were jealous that Chen Hao Xuan had so much money, they agreed that they also felt proud because Chen Hao Xuan was the man of their village.
Chapter 122
Chen Haorong, whose family was also watching the news about Chen Haoxuan, frowned when they saw that the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda carved by Chen Haoxuan could be sold for 800 million, that's how they couldn't see others, especially those they had previously looked down on.
Li Xin, who was watching the TV, spoke out, "I didn't think that kid could make that much money?" She now regrets dumping Chen Haohuan a bit, otherwise she'd be a super-rich woman now, with lots of money to spend.
"It's not always good to be rich, maybe he'll be kidnapped by someone else in a few days!" Chen Haorong had a stern face and was unhappy. Only he knew how deep the hatred in his heart was. A few months ago, he had arrogantly called Chen Haoxuan a punk, but now what about Chen Haoxuan! He lives in a luxury villa, drives a multi-million dollar BMW and has a fortune of hundreds of millions of RMB. In Pingyuan County, it can be said that Chen Hao Xuan is the richest man.
The fact that he has created such a big distance between himself and Chen Hao Xuan in just a few months makes him very unhappy, but he doesn't have Chen Hao Xuan's ability to befriend so many rich people, nor does he have Chen Hao Xuan's business acumen. He has often used the idea that he is not as handsome as Chen Hao Xuan to comfort himself, but now he can no longer comfort himself in that way, because he is jealous of Chen Hao Xuan to the point of going crazy.
"Didn't you listen to the TV presenter? That kid has hired more than thirty security guards, all of them veterans, and even if someone wanted to kidnap him, he couldn't beat more than thirty veterans." Li Xin spoke out.
"Eh, what do you say we go and ask him for some money? He's so rich now he should be giving us tens of millions, right?" The sinister expression of Chen Zhenghao (Chen Haohuan's dad), said.
"How could he give! Just a while ago when I was shopping in the city of Xinshan, my wallet was robbed and he was there, and he didn't even help me, even when he saw me being beaten up by thugs, he didn't say a word and he just watched! A person like him would never give us the benefit of the doubt, even if we were his parents." Li Xin was exasperated, and whenever she remembered the day Chen Haoxuan saw death, he got angry.
"He dares not to give, we'll sue him if he doesn't give us money, the land of that house and the two acres of field are all mine, and I've raised him to be that big, does he dare not?" Chen Zhenghao was firm, in fact, what's the difference between this and blackmail.
"Right! He was raised by us and we gave him a room and land, so we should ask him which money he should give us." Li Xin was happy. She just thought, Chen Hao Xuan is so rich now, she should be able to get one or two hundred million RMB from Chen Hao Xuan, if she really has that many people, she can not live in a small house, and live in a villa instead, she can buy a lot of brand-name clothes, and drive a famous car .......
Chen Hao Xuan is not here, if Chen Hao Xuan was here, he would probably be angry and yell at Li Xin and the others: "Pay you guys, I give a hair, it's more or less the same to give you medals."
On Chen Haohuan's side, the auction ended only two hours later, and the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda was bought by Amanci Binky, who ranked tenth on the world's rich list, for 1.1 billion RMB. The price shocked the whole world, and Chen's value rose like crazy, with many rich people ordering his works from him, but Chen didn't even agree.
If you want to be famous, you have to be special, and the more he refused, the more those people would want his stone sculptures.
Amanci Binky contacted Chen Hao Xuan and told him he would send someone to China tomorrow to deliver the Thousand Buddha Pagoda to Mi. Chen Hao Xuan is full of promise, Chen Hao Xuan now can't wait to get the 1.1 billion RMB, with 1.1 billion RMB, he can invest anything, no longer need to whisper and beg.
Today, Hua Lingwei and the others came to Chen HaoXuan's residence as usual, and Chen HaoXuan was very happy that the Thousand Buddha Pagoda sold for a high price, so he proposed to go to the villa hotel again. When he arrived at the villa hotel, Chen Hao Xuan asked for the most expensive of everything, just like yesterday.
In the luxurious compartment, Zhou Xiang raised his glass of wine and said to Chen Hao Xuan, "Little Xuan, congratulations on your Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda selling for a high price."
"Thank you." Chen Hao Xuan picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Zhou Xiang, then drank it all with his head held high.
"Little Xuan, you now have 1.1 billion RMB and a stake in Home Communications Mobile City, you are now richer than me. Have you ever thought about what business you want to do in the future?" Hua Tian Yu asks Chen Hao Xuan.
"I want to enter the LCD TV industry, and then the computer industry." Chen was confident, although there are LCD TVs now, they are very expensive, so few people use them, and the same goes for LCD computers. Chen knows how to produce them, his method saves a lot of money and the quality is several times better than the LCD videos of this era! If he makes it and sells it for the same price as in this day and age, he must be making mad money.
"Do I need to find a partner?" Zhou Xiang looked at Chen Haoxuan with expectant eyes and said.
"No need for now, if I'm looking for someone to work with, I'll be the first to call on you." Chen Hao Xuan apologised.
"You want to enter the LCD TV industry and the computer industry, then you should need to build a factory, right? How about this, you come to my industrial park and I'll rent it to you at a discount." Li Jun smiled. Not only did Li Jun come today, but several other businessmen who were very familiar with Chen Haohuan came. Li Jun, Zhou Xiang, Hua Tianyu, Zhang Tianqi, Jiang Xianghan, Wang Long ......, and Yang Lin and the others.
"Well, yes, I'll look for you when I decide to come down here." Chen Hao Xuan was happy. Chen Hao Xuan doesn't rent the whole industrial park as soon as he rents it. Because that's what suits Chen Hao Xuan's style, not to do it, to make it big.
"Little Xuan, sister seeing you now is like a dream, I want ah! Is this still the same Xuan I know? You were just an ordinary student at the time and in the blink of an eye you've become a billionaire, which makes me feel like a dream. A sexily dressed Kang Heung Han said.
"It's thanks to your help, otherwise I wouldn't have become a billionaire so quickly." Chen Hao Xuan smiled.
"Little Xuan, look at my sister working with you so early in the business, now Zhang Tianqi relying on you is about to make a lot of money, when you also bring my sister to make a lot of money ah!" Kang Heung Chill joked.
"You really don't say, I really want to bring you to be rich together, because I started training ten women who know how to drive clothes a long time ago, I let them become skilled, I design some popular clothes for them to make, and when they are done, I will give them to you wholesale, and then you will definitely have something to earn." Chen Haohuan.
Chapter 123
"That's great, when are you going to design popular clothes wholesale for me?" Jiang Xiang Han couldn't wait.
"Not so fast, it might take a few more months!" Chen Hao Xuan Dao.
"OK! Just wait a few more months! I hope you won't disappoint your sister when the time comes." Jiang Xiang Han was delighted.
.............................. dividing line ..........................................
On August 12, this day, Amansi Binky will send his butler Jindal to deal with Chen Hao Xuan, so Chen Hao Xuan woke up very early today, Chen Hao Xuan took Jiang Dong and the three of them to Xinshan City Airport to pick up Jindal, in order to give Jindal face, Chen Hao Xuan also rented an 8 meters long Lincoln, in addition to Zhou Kexin's Ferrari borrowed, three famous cars to drive to the airport.
Chen Hao Xuan asked Jiang Dong and the others to wait outside while he went inside to pick up the others, but yesterday Chen Hao Xuan had already seen Jindal's photo, so he didn't have to worry about not recognising him.
The first time I saw him was when I was a young man, and I was very happy to see that he had just gotten off the plane. The first person at the front of the group of foreigners was Jindal, who was looking for Chen HaoXuan.
"Mr. Jindal, this way, I am Chen Hao Xuan." Chen Hao Xuan shouted in English, honestly Chen Hao Xuan hated English, he would rather not speak it if he could, in fact when he came to this century he had a bigger goal than being rich and powerful, and that was to make the whole world proud to speak Mandarin Chinese. Let the gringos take the Mandarin test, and grade it.
When Jindal heard someone calling out to him, he followed the source of the voice and found that it was the famous sculptor Chen Hao Xuan. Chen Hao Xuan's fame is now so great that everyone in Europe knows his name, and some young girls have made posters of his picture and put them up in their rooms.
Jindal waved to Chen Hao Xuan, indicating that he had spotted him, and walked towards Chen Hao Xuan with four of his men. "Mr Chan, I'm glad you came to meet me in person." Jindal walked up to Chen Hao Xuan and extended his right hand to shake his hand and smile.
"I'm also glad you could come to China, this way please." Chen made a gesture of invitation to Jindal. Although Jindal is only a butler, but his status is not low, just because he is the butler of Amansi Binky, want to ask him to help you say some good words in front of Amansi Binky, he will not open that mouth without tens of thousands of dollars, the more he said, he will charge more money, you can say that he, like money.
Arriving outside the airport, Chan walked up to the eight-metre-long Lincoln and opened the door for Jindal himself, smiling at Jindal and saying: "Mr Jindal, please get in."
The Lincoln has a special person as the driver, no need for Chen Hao Xuan and the others to drive, Chen Hao Xuan and Jindal in the Lincoln, while Jiang Dong and Jindal's bodyguard in the BMW and Ferrari.
Jindal has a lot of ink and knows a lot of things. After talking to him for a while, Chen Hao Xuan knew Jindal's hobbies, so Chen Hao Xuan picked the things that Jindal liked to talk about. He can't help it that he's not strong enough now and needs to suck up to people who are stronger than him, and when he's strong enough to kill him, he won't bother sucking up to foreigners and, according to him, drop his identity.
When he arrived at Chen's residence, as soon as he stepped out of the car, his eyes saw a glow, click click click ...... and the sound of cameras taking pictures never stopped. There were more media today than in previous times, because today was the most important day, the day of the deal between Chen Hao Xuan and Amanci Binky.
Jindal and the others formed a wall of people holding hands and this was the only way for Chen Hao Xuan and the others to enter the house. As soon as they entered the house, Jindal asked to see the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda.
The pagoda was in the living room. Chen Hao Xuan pulled off the cloth covering the pagoda and the pagoda, which was glowing with divine light, was displayed before Jindal's eyes. "Is this God's masterpiece? It's exquisite." Jindal was amazed when he saw the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda, he felt it looked much better than the one on the video.
"Mr. Jindal, this is a magnifying glass, look carefully if there is anything wrong." Chan handed Jindal a magnifying glass and smiled.
"Thank you." Jindal took the magnifying glass and began to look at it carefully, the more he looked, the more he was shocked, he had never seen such perfect stone carvings, thousands of Buddha stone pagodas, thousands of Chinese Buddhas all carved lifelike, thousands of postures, coupled with the natural colour of the water stone, he dared to say, this is definitely worth 1.1 billion RMB.
Jindal was very careful, he would look at each Buddha statue for a long time, Chen Haoxuan did not disturb him, standing to the side and waiting patiently. Half an hour later, Jindal put away the magnifying glass and with a shocked expression on his face, he said to Chen Haohuan, "Mr. Chen, you are going to amaze me, your carving of the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda is really too perfect, you are definitely the world's best sculptor."
"Thank you for the compliment." Chen smiled, then Chen Hao Xuan said, "If there are no more questions, can we start trading?"
"Of course you can, I'll have Mr Binky send you money immediately after signing the contract." Jindal smiled.
"Let's sit down and talk it over." Chen Hao Xuan Road.
Jindal took a copy of the contract to Chen Hao Xuan, Chen Hao Xuan read it, found no problem and signed his name.
Seeing that Chen had signed, Jindal asked his bodyguard to bring his special laptop computer, which he used to report to Amanci Binchy, who was far away in the country, about what he had done in China. After Amanci Binky confirmed that the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda was real, he started to go through the money transfer procedure.
Since Amansi Binch wanted to see the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda earlier, after the deal between Jindal and Chen Haohuan was successful, Jindal made a phone call to a courier company to come and help him transport it to Mi, and they followed the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda in order not to have any accidents halfway there.
Jindal left, 1.1 billion RMB has not yet arrived inside Chen Haohuan's personal bank account, Chen Haohuan need not worry, after all, it is 1.1 billion RMB, such a huge amount of money so so quickly. And the bank still needs time to investigate whether the money comes from a normal source.
Everything is done, just waiting for the 1.1 billion RMB to arrive. Chen Haoxuan had already planned that once the money arrived, he would take Chen Yina back to the Chen Village and invite all the Chen Village villagers to dinner. In addition, he wanted to show his family, to see if he was a loser or not, he wanted to show them that he was now rich.
