Although he sorted out four people who could cooperate, Xiao Ran did not choose blindly, nor did he rush to find a way to contact these people. Now Xiao Ran is like a peerless swordsman with a treasure in his possession. He has personal power and a treasure. , but he is indeed alone, and his strength has its limits. And these people are from various aristocratic families. Some people are rich, and with a wave of their hands, countless people will work for them. With Xiao Ran's current situation, it is really not a rational choice to contact these forces without preparation.
As for how to prepare, Xiao Ran didn't know whether the other participants would integrate into the life of normal humans, but he at least came from a normal human life, and he also knew what would be sought after by the rich in humans. Anyway, Xiao Ran was going to The idea was to focus on the jewelry he bought from the Prometheus System Store. Although Xiao Ran didn't understand these things, Shirley Lu did, and in her current capacity, Shirley Lu also provided him with a lot of help in handling these things. of convenience.
In addition to searching for materials and information about potential cooperation partners on the Internet, Xiao Ran also searched for information on the latest aircraft developed by AEU. MS is not a secret in this world. There are many forums on various forums. Although the details of the force's MS data analysis and the AEU's latest body are still confidential, there are also relevant news clues that can be consulted.
During three days of living in a snail's nest, Xiao Ran not only found some basic information about the four partners, but also determined that the plot of this world had not yet begun, because there was no report about heavenly beings on the Internet. First, Xiao Ran will have more preparation time.
In addition, he also searched for some information about auction houses, jewelry price information, etc. on the Internet. After comparing and recording several houses, Xiao Ran also had a rough idea of the price of the jewelry he carried. If all the jewelry he owns is sold, it will be enough for him to become one of the top richest people in the world in terms of personal assets.
Xiao Ran occupied a grid in the storage column. From the jewelry marked as a 'bunch of decorations', he selected one of the few that he thought was the best, put it into the black suitcase from before, and carried it with him. I randomly found a place to put the money in the box, changed my clothes, and went out with the suitcase.
For the participants who cannot stay in this world, the currencies of these worlds have almost no meaning to them. No matter how much money they have, they cannot bring back Prometheus in the end, and Xiao Ran is already in the third world. , I also have a deep understanding of this, and also feel that participants do not need to worry about money at all when performing tasks in various worlds. If having no money to eat leads to starvation and thirst, Xiao Ran believes that this should not happen Weird existence.
Xiao Ran sent a gem necklace he selected to a very famous auction house in this city. While the appraiser was amazed, he learned from the staff of the auction house that the auction would be held within two months. Once sold, the money will be transferred to Xiao Ran's designated account within sixty days or the auction fee will be paid in the form of cash check.
When he heard that he had to wait for nearly two months, Xiao Ran shook his head instantly: "When will the auction be held soon?"
The staff replied politely: "Your piece of jewelry is already a treasure. Such a large natural gem is almost invisible in this era. If possible, our auction house hopes to publicize it for a period of time." Exhibition, in this way, we can also maximize the benefits of jewelry. At the same time, we will also collect some other jewelry for this jewelry. A single giant jewelry auction will cause a sensation, and this jewelry can also be The transaction will be sold at a higher price, but sir, it will take a lot of time for us to collect suitable jewelry, so when it will be auctioned, I can only say that it will be within sixty days."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He finally understood what this person meant. If he wanted to get a higher auction price, it was best not to rush for a day or two. But after two months, the day lilies would be cold. At that time, he said Maybe the plot has already started, so it would be inappropriate to lay out the plot before taking the auction items.
Frowning, Xiao Ran said: "I also have a batch of jewelry here. There are a few pieces of the same grade as this one. There are also quite a few that are lower grade than this one, including gemstones, diamonds, jade and other types. Some, maybe dozens in total, are enough to hold a separate auction.”
The appraiser and staff's eyes lit up when they heard Xiao Ran's words. The staff nodded repeatedly: "Enough, enough, enough. Three or five times is enough for such a large quantity."
"Take your lawyers, appraisers, and those messy people and come to this hotel in the city center to find me." Xiao Ran frowned and took out a hotel business card from his body and put it on the table, and added : "I don't care how you sell it, or when you sell it, but I have one request. I need you to advance at least half of your estimated value to me, and you must keep my identity confidential."
"If it is true, as you said, Mr. Xiao, that there are dozens of good pieces of jewelry, I can agree to your request. As for the identity of Mr. Xiao, we will never leak the customer's information." The staff nodded repeatedly and handed over the items with both hands. He gave Xiao Ran a business card, and after taking a look at it, he realized that the guy he had always thought was an ordinary person was actually a deputy manager of the auction house.
Xiao Ran put the business card away, picked up his things and turned around to leave. On the way back to the hotel, he also contacted Shirley Lu. After thinking about it, he decided to let Shirley Lu come to find him, but he let Shirley Lu come to him. A room has been reopened on the same floor of the hotel.
When Shirley Lu arrived at the hotel, Xiao Ran also entered Shirley Lu's room without anyone noticing. The moment Shirley Lu saw Xiao Ran, she still showed an expression of joy and excitement, but she held her hands and turned her head away. Deliberately not looking at Xiao Ran. For Xiao Ran, he hadn't seen Shirley Lu for more than a day, but for Shirley Lu, it had been a full month since he had seen Xiao Ran, struggling alone in this strange world.
Walking to Shirley Lu, he gently hugged Shirley Lu and kissed her on the forehead. Xiao Ran's movements were like a catalyst, making Shirley Lu's red eyes turn red: "Damn it. This guy made me live alone in this world for so long."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this." Xiao Ran smiled apologetically, held Shirley's face with both hands, kissed her on the mouth, and then said: "If you knew this was the case, I would rather you be in Promi Hughes is waiting for me, and I won’t let you follow me.”
"Humph, you know you feel sorry for me." Shirley raised her chin, with a look of satisfaction on her face: "But there is no need to waste your battle points. Anyway, I am used to this kind of life, and I can do it myself. take care."
Xiao Ran smiled and took Shirley Lu to sit down, and listened quietly to Shirley Lu describing her life in the past month. When she woke up, she found that Xiao Ran was no longer afraid of her heart, and she felt relieved after hearing the voice in her head. He was indifferent when he released the record, and he didn't feel proud of the fact that it became popular all over the world in a short period of time. He just had absolute confidence in his own ability.
The two of them talked for about half an hour, and the phone that Xiao Ran bought in this world rang. It was someone from the auction house. After Xiao Ran told them the room number, he put a bunch of decorations in the storage column. 'I took them all out, put them on the coffee table in the suite and tidied them up a little. Within a few minutes, a group of about a dozen people including lawyers, appraisers, staff and security personnel from the auction house appeared at the door of the suite.
When the appraiser and the deputy manager who handed the business card to Xiao Ran saw so many top-quality jewelry on the table, their eyes lit up immediately, but they did not rush to look through them. Jewelry, but calm down to identify, screen and record these things one by one.
It was not that no one among these people recognized Shirley Lu, who had become famous all over the world at an incredible speed not long after her debut. After a brief shock, she never looked at Shirley Lu again, but concentrated on processing. What he saw in front of him reflected very good professional qualities, which made Xiao Ran nodded slightly.
After working for several hours, the appraisers from the auction house finally appraised all the jewelry and estimated the price at several billion in union currency. However, because the quantity was too large and the quality was very good, after obtaining Xiao Ran's consent After that, the auction house decided to gradually conduct auctions within two years, and advanced 2 billion to Xiao Ran. Of course, Xiao Ran would not have any meaning to this. Anyway, these things are nothing to him. They can be exchanged for so much. Xiao Ran was satisfied with the large amount of funds.
Such a large amount of funds can allow Xiao Ran to disguise himself well, and Xiao Ran also hopes to let Shirley Lu participate in the auction house's promotional activities. Such a small request coupled with Shirley Lu's popularity at this time , the deputy manager nodded and agreed without even hesitating.
After signing the agreement, the people from the auction house left in a hurry, and only Xiao Ran and Shirley Lu were left in the room. However, when Xiao Ran was about to do something to comfort Shirley Lu, Shirley Lu suddenly He threw himself in front of Xiao Ran, and after kissing Xiao Ran passionately for a few minutes, he turned around and slipped out of the suite with a charming smile.
When Xiao Ran watched Shirley Lu close the door in stunned silence, he felt a little dumbfounded when he realized it. He scratched his hair and walked out, returning to his suite.
