"Young master, I'm back. I've taken care of everything!" A few minutes later, Gu Yi returned to Fang Jueyu's side.
From asset valuation to fund transfer, it took less than ten minutes in total. Fang Jueyu was astounded by the efficiency of his subordinates.
"Don't show up in front of me. I don't want to see you right now!" Fang Jueyu feared he might lose his temper and hit Gu Yi, but even if Gu Yi stood still and took it, he'd only hurt himself. It was better not to see him at all.
A look of grievance appeared on Gu Yi's face. He had clearly helped Fang Jueyu increase his assets significantly. Why was Fang Jueyu giving him attitude?
But he didn't dare ask. After all, he was just Fang Jueyu's personal bodyguard. Like a shadow, he vanished into the darkness again.
"Young master, I've got good news for you!" Zhuang Ying seemed to have received some information.
"What's up?" Fang Jueyu asked, wearing a long face. There was no good news that could make him happy anymore.
"Mr. Colt just sent people to protect Mr. Wang Cong and representatives from a few allied countries. As expected, they were jointly attacked by several countries and forces."
"That's good news? Were they injured?"
"Rest assured, young master. Mr. Wang Cong is already on his way back. The representatives from Pakistan, Israel, and Ukraine have already regrouped with their respective forces. No one would dare cause trouble on a normal international route," Zhuang Ying said.
"Then what's the good news you're talking about?" Fang Jueyu asked curiously. With Colt arranging for Hidden Elementers to protect them, it wasn't unexpected. How could that be considered good news?
"Young master, the forces that attended the auction for the DSB-003 enhancement serum brought a lot of funds. Those major countries each brought over 10 billion euros."
"And then?" Fang Jueyu suddenly had a bad feeling. "Could it be..."
"Hahaha, they tried to intercept our people, so we were merely acting in self-defense. Naturally, the spoils belong to you, young master," Zhuang Ying said. "Mr. Colt has already transferred all the money to me."
"My XXX (censored 100,000-word national curse)"
"How much money..." Fang Jueyu's expression was more disgusted than if he'd eaten crap. These people came to rob but brought so much money with them. Were they planning to be philanthropists?
"A total of 176 billion euros!"
"I damn..." Gu Yi just helped him acquire over 200 billion euros, and now there's another massive sum. His liquid assets had already exceeded 800 billion US dollars. Was this some kind of joke?
The completion of Fang Jue's spending task dropped back to zero. If he'd known this would happen, he should have submitted the task right after paying at the auction!
"What's wrong, young master? You don't seem very happy," Zhuang Ying said strangely. This over-100-billion euros sum might not be significant compared to Fang Jueyu's total assets, but it was still a huge amount. Why did he look so upset?
"Nothing... Let's just go back..." Fang Jueyu only wanted to find a place to sit quietly now, with countless 'FML' thoughts swirling in his mind, needing to vent.
"Hahahaha!" Xiao Yi laughed like a goose. "Host, at this rate, even two years wouldn't be enough for you to spend all this money!"
If he could ditch this money, Fang Jueyu would fly a helicopter and scatter money from the sky.
But when Xiao Yi issued the task, there were certain rules. This money had to be used purposefully. Donations to foundations or supporting those three countries were almost skirting the edge.
"I hate the people from the Sun Country and the United States even more now!" Fang Jueyu said bitterly.
With the Ladinic family's facilitation, those originally planning to seize auction items near the Rothschild family had already been cleared out, and Fang Jueyu returned smoothly to the hotel.
Wang Cong had been back for a while, sharing the day's interesting events with his team.
They had known about the international news through social networks and were aware that Wang Cong and Fang Jueyu were attending the auction today. They also guessed that the person crazily monopolizing the auction was probably Fang Jueyu.
"Yo, you're back? We've been chatting here for a while!" Wang Cong was still in a very excited state.
"Director, we heard Miss Scarlett invited you. Did you two do anything scandalous?" a teammate joked.
"So, how was it? Are foreigners as wild as they say?"
Fang Jueyu wore a lifeless expression as he weakly sat on the couch.
Seeing him like that, Wang Cong and his team laughed, "Your stamina is lacking, man. How did you end up so quickly?"
"Sigh, don't even mention it. I'm not in the mood to joke," Fang Jueyu shook his head. "Hey, Wang, let me ask you something. Do you know of any investment projects that are money-burning?"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?" Wang Cong asked, puzzled. "You're already insanely rich, and you're still thinking about investing? There's barely any money left on Earth. Can't you Fang Family people give us common folks a break?"
"I'm not trying to make money!" Fang Jueyu said. "I mean projects where you throw a lot of money in, but it takes years to break even, or those that lose money, losing billions or hundreds of billions."
Fang Jueyu was practically going crazy, willing to do anything just to spend.
"Are you feverish?" Wang Cong put a hand on Fang Jueyu's forehead. "Everyone's thinking about making money, and you're thinking about spending it, about losing it. If you just ate a peanut, you wouldn't be spouting such nonsense!"
"I'm serious!" Fang Jueyu grabbed Wang Cong's shoulder.
"You you you... don't be ," Wang Cong panicked. "As far as I know, the biggest money sink is railway construction. Building a railway costs a fortune. In complex terrains, a kilometer can cost over a billion. It obviously takes a long time to break even."
"Besides that, you could research the cosmos, build a spaceship, go explore aliens. Which of these doesn't cost money?" Wang Cong started rambling.
"What you're saying makes some sense!"
Fang Jueyu's thinking suddenly cleared. Where could a corporation spend more than a country in construction? He could totally invest in large-scale national projects!
Not just those, but scientific research, starting a tech company, wouldn't those spend money faster?
"Hahahaha! Wang, you're a genius!" Fang Jueyu laughed. This was the right way to spend money!
