CHAPTER 689: CHAPTER 682: LOADED AND SWAGGERING

Due to the high amount in their account balance, Sisi and the others received VIP treatment at the bank. Watching those blonde, blue-eyed foreigners respectfully and humbly before them, both of them felt utterly delighted from head to toe!

Indeed, the wisdom of the ancestors proved to be right!

With wealth comes power!

So the two sat in the bank’s VIP room, sipping coffee, nibbling on fancy snacks, enjoying the air conditioning. All they had to do was voice their requests, and the rest was handled by the bank staff. All they needed to do was sign their names with an orchid finger.

Under the reluctant gaze of the bank manager, Sisi and Qiao Xingbang happily left the bank, with Sisi even waving to the manager, who returned a bright smile!

"Sisi, having money is great, isn’t it! Look how arrogant that manager usually is, now he resembles a servant!" Qiao Xingbang exclaimed with emotion.

Sisi rolled her eyes at him, what a redundant comment!

If you have no money, who would care about you!

"What do you plan to do with all this money? Start a company?" Sisi inquired.

Qiao Xingbang shook his head in confusion; having so much money suddenly drop into his lap, he really hadn’t thought about what he could do with it.

Moreover, he grew up never lacking money, living the rich young master’s life, and didn’t possess the ambitious satellite-launching dreams of Bao Guo and the others. When Sisi asked him, he genuinely didn’t know what to do with the money.

"How about just depositing it in the bank? The interest on ten billion US Dollars shouldn’t be small, right?" Qiao Xingbang said.

Such small-minded thinking!

Sisi gave him a disdainful look, not realizing she herself planned to invest in just two satellites with Bao Guo and put the rest in the bank for interest.

Stimulated by Sisi’s glance, Qiao Xingbang loudly asked, "What do you plan to do then? Start a company?"

Sisi smiled confidently, "Starting a company is nothing, that’s already low-level."

"Then what is considered high-level?" Qiao Xingbang asked foolishly.

"Launching satellites!" Sisi clenched her fists, her eyes sparkling.

How grand and lofty!

Qiao Xingbang suddenly felt deep respect and acknowledged his inferiority.

After receiving Sisi’s call, Bao Guo drove over to pick them up. Ever since making money in the stock market, that battered second-hand car had been naturally traded for a blue Chevrolet, which looked about seventy to eighty percent new.

This was Qiao Xingbang and Bao Guo’s first meeting. After Sisi introduced them to each other, Qiao Xingbang, who had studied in the USA, even if at a less prestigious school, still counted as an international student. He got along quite well with Bao Guo.

"Bao Guo, now that the company isn’t lacking money, why not buy a new car? Driving it out also gives you face!" Sisi said after getting in the car.

Sisi heard from Bieber that Bao Guo had multiplied that 150,000 yuan investment several times over in the stock market, and Sisi’s private hundred-million-yuan investment had similarly multiplied several times over, so their Neptune was no longer a poor, fledgling company.

According to the thinking of Chinese people, when a company has money, it surely needs to be decorated; good cars are a must. Sisi knew that many company bosses in a past life, before they even made money, would buy Mercedes and BMWs. Regardless of how their debts piled up, they wouldn’t sell those luxury cars.

As those bosses would say, if you can’t even drive a good car, then truly not even one cent could be borrowed!

But Bao Guo’s car, Bieber said, was bought for 8000 dollars and was also their company’s only vehicle, generally used by Bieber and Noi because they went out on business more often.

After hearing Sisi’s words, Bao Guo shrugged indifferently, "Noi said that buying a second-hand car is more cost-effective than buying a new car. It’s unnecessary to waste money; besides, people here don’t care about such things. Many big bosses also drive ordinary cars!"

Qiao Xingbang chimed in from the side, "That’s really true, in the USA it’s not like our China, where everything is about face. People here are practical; sometimes those dressed in designer clothes and wearing a Rolex aren’t the big bosses."

"Then what are they?" Sisi asked modestly.

"Ducks!" Qiao Xingbang blurted out, then realizing it was inappropriate to say in front of a lady, he scratched his head and laughed sheepishly.

Sisi glared at him, annoyed, while Bao Guo blushed slightly.

The place where Bao Guo and the others lived had also changed, moving from a basement to an upstairs apartment with a three-room, one-hall layout, making it suitable for both living and working.

Bieber and Noi were both there, greeting Sisi warmly, their faces showing flattering smiles, offering tea, massaging shoulders, treating her even better than a bank manager.

Sisi enjoyed the service without any reservation – after all, those who have money are the boss!

"How many satellites have you earned now?" Sisi asked.

The three collectively felt ashamed, "One-twentieth of a satellite is still missing a corner."

Sisi found it incredibly convoluted, what is one-twentieth still missing a corner, when it could simply be said that they’re a bit short of ten million dollars.

"However, we are confident that in a year, we will definitely earn enough for a satellite." The three loudly vowed.

Sisi waved her hand and handed them a filled check, "No need to wait a year, here is one satellite. If you do well, I’ll invest in another one."

The three took the check and started collectively counting the zeros.

Then —

They were collectively stunned...

Bao Guo spoke first, "Sisi, you’re really giving us all this to launch a satellite? Aren’t you afraid we’ll fail?"

"Not afraid, I have plenty of money!" Sisi replied with wealth and confidence.

Recalling the bizarre sixty billion from a few days ago, Bao Guo immediately fell silent.

Noi and Bieber were moved to tears, tears welling up like little wives pulling at Bao Guo’s sleeves to wipe their eyes.

"Sisi, you’re really the angel sent by God, oh, we love you!" They said in unison.

Sisi gave each of them an Iron Sand Palm, "Do good work for me, if you squander my money, huh, watch how I deal with you?"

"We’ll make sure to earn it back for you, Sisi, our Neptune will absolutely become the greatest company on Earth." The three promised in unison, bursting with energy.

Sisi smiled with satisfaction, knowing that if not for the unexpected windfall, she wouldn’t be so generous. But being able to help three ambitious young men made her very happy.

Qiao Xingbang had been listening for half the day without understanding anything, unable to resist, he grabbed Bieber to ask.

As fate would have it, even though Qiao Xingbang was closer to Noi, he chose to grab the farther Bieber. This grab led to two good friends coming together.

The two had many common hobbies – girl-chasing, racing, boxing, etc. The only difference was that Bieber was more educated than someone else, to be precise, he had a higher IQ than someone else and was able to get into Harvard, naturally not a fool.

Other than this aspect, Bieber was virtually the spitting image of Qiao Xingbang before marriage.

Thus, as soon as they spoke, their eyes lit up, and as they continued, they were patting each other’s shoulders, becoming good brothers.

It is believed that tonight, the two will have an intimate conversation and eventually become life-and-death friends.
