Chapter 307 Investing in Golden City [ words]

As the auction hammer fell heavily.

This super-grade third-level Yin Lei ore officially belongs to Jiang Ming.

Established history has been rewritten.

The auction item that originally belonged to the bearded ghost changed its owner at this moment.

Simultaneously.

The final winner of this bidding was also won by humans.

Even the bearded ghost who was known as the number one weapon refiner in Wuhui City announced that he had lost the competition.

no doubt.

Jiang Ming stole the show at this auction.

Even if he did not bid for all the items, the momentum of bidding 500 million ghost money alone was enough to make him the focus.

Not to mention that he finally took out the golden tree seedling and snatched the super-grade third-level Yin Lei Mine from the bearded ghost.

The ghosts exclaimed.

This completely refreshed their understanding of human beings.

They couldn't imagine that there was such a heaven-defying existence among humans. Compared with those weak humans who could only wander around the edge of the Pure Land and couldn't even reach the City of No Return, Jiang Ming's existence was simply an outlier.

In such silence.

The auction was officially declared over.

The ghost king-level patriarch from Golden City walked down from the auction platform and stared at Jiang Ming with an inexplicable look, and uttered a low ghost voice: "This human young master, may I ask your name?"

"ginger."

"Master Jiang, I am the master of the Golden City. Please follow me. We will hand over the mines in one hand and the trees in the other."

The wealthy ghost walked in front.

Invite Jiang Ming to come over for a chat.

Show enough attitude.

Jiang Ming did not refuse.

He got up and followed him.

When passing by the bearded ghost, Jiang Ming kindly said to him, "Relax, you can't get hold of this grade of Yin ore. Even if you buy it at the auction, you can only leave it stranded. It's such a waste."

Done.

Jiang Ming walked away.

Only a chic back figure was left behind.

"This is too much bullying. How dare a human like him be so arrogant in the City of No Return? Master, are you going to swallow this anger? After today, the gossip that we are suppressed by humans will spread throughout the City of No Return. This is a shame."

Seeing that his plan had failed, the Black Butler ghost stared at Jiang Ming's receding back, gritted his teeth, and made unwilling sounds.

The quasi-ghost king-level ghosts on the other eight golden chairs fell silent.

The grimace is also not pretty.

See this.

The Black Butler ghost spoke again: "Think about it, although this human has some strength, a figure like 32 billion is obviously not something that a group of humans who have just entered the Pure Land World for two or three years can accumulate. His money must have come from an illegal source. Add to that the golden tree seedling that shouldn't have appeared, don't you think that he got the legacy of a mysterious ghost king and became rich overnight?"

"Also, he was able to refuse the master's opportunity to refine a weapon, which means that he must have a weapon that is not inferior to a semi-finished super-grade Yin weapon. It is even possible that the human has a super-grade Yin weapon."

"You don't have any ideas?"

Hear this.

The quasi-ghost king-level ghosts on the other golden chairs all showed some signs of being moved.

The ghost's eyes were full of greed.

Although the Black Butler demon wanted to use them as guns to wash away his own shame, they had to admit that they were indeed tempted.

A human with the strength of a peak ghost commander, carrying more than 30 billion ghost banknotes, is extremely rich.

Add to that the possibility that he has inherited the legacy of a certain ghost king, who wouldn't be confused?
If they just kill Jiang Ming, their wealth will increase by at least hundreds of millions.

This is enough to make them take risks.

For a while.

The ghosts looked at each other.

They all saw the intention in each other's eyes.

They smiled cruelly at each other.

Obviously.

They all made the same choice.

I decided to let that human know that the reason why no human had ever set foot in the City of No Return was, on the one hand, because it was difficult to enter, and on the other hand, because it was even more dangerous.

It's not something humans can handle.

The end of arrogance is to die on the street.

At this time.

The quasi-ghost king-level ghost sitting next to Jiang Ming, who had been ignored the entire time, couldn't wait to speak: "When will we start? That human is protected by the owner of the Golden City here. I believe that as long as he is not stupid, he will know to ask the Golden City for help to protect him for a while."

"Then wait until he leaves here before you make your move. Once he leaves the auction house, even the Golden City won't be able to protect him."

The black butler ghost said sinisterly: "I am an insider here. If that human wants to sneak out of here by stealing something, I will notify you and help you delay the time for the Golden City Patriarch to find out. After that, I want 100 million."

"can."

"That's no problem. As long as we don't let that human sneak away, no one can stop us from attacking unless the Ghost King takes action."

"Hehehe, if this human has precious Yin materials like golden tree seedlings, we will be rich."

On the golden chair.

Several quasi-ghost king-level ghosts were grinning sinisterly.

They were already discussing how to divide the spoils.

failure?

This was not within the scope of their discussion.

after all.

There were five or six quasi-ghost kings out to encircle and suppress a human being. How could they possibly fail?

Flying dragon riding a face, how to lose?
Talk about the end.

This group of quasi-ghost king-level ghosts flattered the bearded ghost: "Master, don't worry, whoever sees it will get a share. You don't need to get involved. We will take back the Yin Lei Mine that you like."

The bearded ghost said nothing.

Acquiesced to this idea.

How could he refuse such a good thing as being able to obtain the super-grade third-level Yin Lei Mine for free without him having to do anything?

……

the other side.

Jiang Ming came to a magnificent lounge.

A servant ghost brought a cup of strong tea and placed it in front of Jiang Ming.

With a bit of curiosity and scrutiny, he looked at this human who had become the focus of the auction.

The wealthy ghost sat opposite.

He placed the Yin Lei Mine on the table and handed it over.

Jiang Ming took it and also took out the golden tree seedling.

"It's really a golden tree seedling. This is incredible. Human, how did you get it?"

The owner of the Golden City carefully picked up the golden tree seedling and looked at it for a long time, confirming that this golden tree seedling was real and that its shape was almost exactly the same as the latest new generation variety that had been cultivated and had not yet been unearthed.

If you don’t know this, you might think it is a new generation of unearthed varieties.

Jiang Ming took a sip of strong tea.

[Drinking golden tea, spirit +5, Yin force +1000. 】

"Why, are you the only one in Golden City that can have the golden tree seedling?"

Rich Ghost: ...

He actually wanted to say that it was true.

After all, there has only been one golden tree since the establishment of the Golden City.

This has become the symbol of the Golden City.

but……

Now that Jiang Ming has taken out new ones, it is enough to prove that there are other sources of golden tree seedlings.

"That's not the case, but Mr. Jiang, if you have other golden tree seedlings, I can buy them all in Golden City, and I won't give you a bad price."

"Oh? Can you eat it?"

Jiang Ming's expression changed.

An idea came to my mind.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about? You may not know this when you first enter the City of No Return, but the Golden City is a ghost king-level force here. In terms of wealth, we are no match for anyone. If it is according to what you humans say, then I am the richest man here. Not to mention one or two golden tree seedlings, even three or five, I can afford it."

The wealthy ghost felt that he was being underestimated by humans, and immediately expressed his confidence.

Acting as if he is not short of money.

"How about this, Mr. Jiang, to show the sincerity of Golden City, I am willing to buy out the golden tree seedlings in your hands at a price twice the market price, that is, 50 billion per plant."

To the end.

The master of the Golden City spoke with great pride.

He wanted to recycle all the golden tree seedlings from Jiang Ming in order to achieve a monopoly.

For this purpose, they even purchased the product at twice the market price.

In his opinion, even if Jiang Ming, a human, still had golden tree seedlings in his hands, the number would not be many. Two or three, or three or four would be the limit.

The total expenditure is within 200 billion ghost money.

Although this purchase price is already astronomical, and even Golden City cannot come up with it in a short period of time, as long as it can monopolize the appearance of golden tree seedlings in other places, this price is worth it.

Furthermore.

As long as the cultivation is successful, Huangjin City will be able to make more than ten times the profit with the products of these golden trees.

This deal is a sure win.

Hear the words.

Jiang Ming's eyes became strange.

"I admire your courage. Come on, try buying these and see how they turn out."

Say it.

Jiang Ming took out ten golden tree seedlings on the spot.

Lined up.

Place it on the table.

It was flashing a golden halo that was not bright but extremely dazzling.

at once.

The wealthy ghost was startled.

He stood up suddenly from his seat.

The rich ghost's face was filled with horror.

A look of disbelief.

Nima.

There were ten golden tree seedlings, plus the one in his hand, so the number of golden tree seedlings placed in the lounge had reached an astonishing eleven.

This is ridiculous.

Even during the Golden City's heyday, no more than five seedlings were successfully cultivated.

And this human took eleven of them at once.

What.

Have you ever fallen into a cave full of golden tree seedlings?

I'm in a state of confusion.

Jiang Ming was already very calm and said, "Come on, according to the offer of 5 billion per golden tree seedling, 10 trees is 50 billion, give me the money."

Rich Ghost: ...

He couldn't hold it in any longer.

No one told him that this human had so many golden tree seedlings.

500 billion ghost money, if all of it is paid out, the Golden City will be paralyzed.

Even a lot of the properties need to be mortgaged.

Injuries to the bones are minor.

If you are not careful, your capital chain may break and you may never recover.

I thought about it.

The wealthy ghost laughed wryly and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is really too scary. If the Golden City gives away all the 500 billion ghost money, then there is no need to do business. How about this, Mr. Jiang, are you interested in investing in Golden City?"

Hear this.

A smile flashed across Jiang Ming's eyes.

He asked with great interest: "How do I buy shares?"

"You invest in the shares with golden tree seedlings. Ten trees are worth 20 billion ghost coins, and the current value of the Golden City is around billion ghost coins. I can make the decision and give you % of the shares. You will be the only shareholder besides me and have the decision-making power."

"not enough."

Jiang Ming said calmly.

The wealthy ghost frowned.

20% equity is a reasonable number.

After all, Golden City still has to work hard to cultivate it.

This is where the biggest cost lies.

"Mr. Jiang, I wonder how much equity you expect? Tell us and we can discuss it together."

Jiang Ming raised his eyes and said casually: "I said yes, I have more than ten golden tree seedlings, so this equity is less."

Rich ghost:? ? !

He was a little confused.

Emma.

It turns out you didn't want to ask for too much, but you wanted more?

No. Isn't this even scarier?

Your family is engaged in wholesale.

He felt that the golden tree seedlings had become like the cabbages in the vegetable market in the hands of this human?
It took a while.

The owner of the Golden City swallowed his saliva and said, "I wonder how many golden tree seedlings you have, Master Jiang? Three? Five?"

Jiang Ming's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Ten."

The words fell.

Ten more golden tree seedlings were placed on the table, filling the entire table.

Gulu.

The wealthy ghost was drooling.

I needed to hold onto the chair with my hands to calm myself down and maintain my composure.

He couldn't imagine what it meant for a human to own twenty golden tree seedlings.

Is this a treasure trove that you carry with you?

Simply appalling.

He even suspected that he was under some kind of illusion.

Otherwise, how could such an outrageous thing be discovered in front of him.

This time.

The wealthy ghost paused for a little longer.

Obviously, he was the master of the Golden City and a ghost king-level existence, but he felt an unprecedented shock from Jiang Ming.

This human being is not like an ordinary person.

"It's just 40 golden tree seedlings. Don't act like you've never seen the world. According to the previous division, I own % of the shares. Is that okay?"

After a moment of silence.

The wealthy ghost nodded.

"no problem."

Golden City really couldn't afford to buy the golden tree seedlings worth 40 billion ghost money. Jiang Ming only needed % of the shares. To be honest, Golden City still made the profit.

after all.

If Jiang Ming took these golden tree seedlings and invested in other ghost king-level forces, the profits he would bring would definitely be more than what the Golden City could give.

Think of this.

The wealthy ghost felt a sense of crisis and made another promise.

"Mr. Jiang, since you think so highly of Golden City, I naturally cannot be stingy. In addition to the 40% equity, you will also have the right to participate in the decision-making of Golden Tree's internal affairs and enjoy the same treatment as me. If I am not here, you will be the highest decision-maker in Golden City. I will write this clause directly into the contract and give you a family head badge."

Done.

The ghost king-level master of the Golden City left in a hurry.

He also directly used the ghost domain teleportation.

Can be imagined.

How anxious the other party is at this moment.

He looked as if he was afraid that Jiang Ming would go back on his word.

In this regard.

Jiang Ming accepted it all.

This is an unexpected gain.

But the effect is very obvious.

He only used twenty golden tree seedlings that looked no different from cabbages to exchange for 40% of the shares of Golden City, and also received the same treatment as the owner of Golden City.

When he returns to the original timeline, he will be the real leader of the Golden City.

he likes.

Jiang Ming had an obvious smile on his face.

Not only did I get the Yin Lei Mine, I also got the treatment of the head of the Golden City for free. This trip back in time was well worth it.

soon.

The wealthy ghost is back.

He now had a valid Yinli contract and a freshly-issued patriarch's badge in his hand.

"Mr. Jiang, from today on, we will officially become partners. Believe me, the development of Golden City will definitely not stop here. In a few years, you will know how good your vision is."

The plump ghost's expression became much friendlier.

Ambitious.

It looks like it's going to become bigger and stronger.

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes.

I thought about it.

A basin of cold water was poured down.

"For a short period of time, I think you'd better not expose these golden tree seedlings."

"why?"

"A big tree attracts the wind. The previous golden trees were difficult to cultivate, so it was difficult to have a second or third golden tree alive at the same time in a short period of time. In addition, there were not enough resources to cultivate them into top-quality Yin materials. This is why they did not cause large-scale hostility from other forces. But if these twenty golden tree seedlings were exposed, everyone would know that Golden City is about to take off. You should understand the principle that a big tree attracts the wind."

Jiang Ming said calmly.

Hear the words.

The wealthy ghost's expression turned serious.

It's not like he hasn't thought about this truth, but he can't just stand there indifferent with the hope of rising right before his eyes.

"So when do you think it's appropriate to expose yourself?"

He did not ask to hide, but asked when it would be appropriate to reveal it.

"Seven years later."

Jiang Ming said casually.

"Seven years later? Why this time?"

"Because by then, I will return to the Golden City. No matter how exposed you are, it won't have much of an impact, because I will take action."

Jiang Ming grinned.

The answer was given.

He is rewriting the historical trajectory of the Golden City.

But he didn't want the Golden City to take a development path different from the original timeline just because it obtained twenty golden tree seedlings in advance.

It would be fine if it develops smoothly, but if it is boycotted and surrounded by an organized group, even a Ghost King-level force may go bankrupt and disappear within seven years.

This is not what he wants to see.

So he needs Golden City to maintain its original development.

however……

The wealthy ghost doesn't know this.

He only heard an almost conceited tone in Jiang Ming's voice.

The meaning is clear.

This human will not come back here until seven years later. By then, the Golden City can focus on cultivating the golden tree seedlings. It doesn't matter if there is a big noise or if they are targeted by other forces, because he is there.

Such words.

Even a ghost king-level being like him doesn't dare to say it.

There was silence for a while.

The wealthy ghost said, "Seven years is not a long time. It takes five to ten years for a golden tree seedling to grow from cultivation to maturity, and it may not survive. It may not be exposed in seven years, so there is nothing wrong with what you said."

He did not believe Jiang Ming's "big words".

But seven years is not a long time.

It would be easy if you just kept silent for seven years.

He could accept Jiang Ming's opinion.

Jiang Ming also noticed this.

But he didn't care much.

Anyway, if things go wrong, he will go back in time again.

Let things go in the direction he expected.

Think about this.

Jiang Ming waved his hand and said, "Okay, since we have reached an agreement, I should leave. I will be back in seven years. You should also come back as soon as possible, otherwise I might interfere in the competition between your sons in advance."

Rich ghost:?

He was a little stunned.

I always feel that Jiang Ming is hinting at something.

But soon.

He suddenly remembered something.

I kindly reminded him, "Mr. Jiang, you are a human, but you have stolen the limelight in the auction. Many ghosts are dissatisfied with you. In addition, you are carrying a huge sum of money. You may be ambushed when you go out. If you don't mind, you can stay here for a while. During this time, I will let the servants prepare three meals for you."

"They're just a bunch of clowns."

Jiang Ming walked out leisurely.

Said nonchalantly.

The wealthy ghost looked at Jiang Ming's back and sighed repeatedly.

This is truly a strange human being.

Extremely mysterious.

Even a Ghost King as knowledgeable as him couldn't figure out the cause.

I just feel it's unfathomable.

It's just that we underestimate the native ghosts in the Pure Land world.

I thought about it.

He called over his most trusted executive from Golden City.

"You should quietly follow him and protect him for a while. After all, he is the only shareholder of Golden City. If he dies so soon, it will be a disgrace to Golden City."

The wealthy ghost said so.

Although Jiang Ming's death had nothing to do with him, he was still a partner after all, so it was necessary for him to help.

……

Out of the Golden City Auction House.

The big supervisor ghost who had been waiting outside for a long time, and the bearded old man had already put on a piece of clothing that could cover their bodies and most of their faces.

The two ghosts did not follow Jiang Ming in.

after all.

At this point in time, one of them is the chief executive of the Golden City, and the other is the worshipper of the Golden City. They are still well-known. Once they are exposed, they will not know how to explain it.

"Master, congratulations on getting the Yin Lei Mine."

The two congratulated each other.

They have learned everything that happened at the auction site from the ghosts of the customers who came out.

I also learned about the bidding process between Jiang Ming and the bearded ghost.

In this regard.

They could only marvel at the fact that Jiang Ming's actions were not afraid of causing major changes in the future.

It can be described as completely reckless.

There is no sign of human survival in the City of No Return today. Jiang Ming's actions have, to a certain extent, made ghosts more afraid of humans. They may be more cautious or even more violent before taking action.

We will have to wait until we return to the original timeline to find out the details.

Jiang Ming nodded slightly.

"You guys step aside, let me take a good walk and leave a deep impression on the Pure Land World seven years ago."

Done.

Jiang Ming walked straight down the street.

Stroll around.

along the way.

More and more ghosts noticed Jiang Ming, a living person.

Every time he passed by, a group of ghosts would appear to be smelling something, and their scarlet eyes would stay on Jiang Ming for a long time.

for all this.

Jiang Ming ignored it.

until……

After walking a few hundred meters away from the Golden City Auction House.

Something unexpected happened.

Just on the street.

Without any warning, five ghost shadows burst out with quasi-ghost king-level Yin energy fluctuations and grabbed towards Jiang Ming without saying a word.

The terrifying power of Yin made the nearby ghosts turn pale.

They fled the scene one after another.

For fear of being affected.

Because this was obviously an ambush.

The target is the only living person among the ghost group.

They were horrified. How could a human being attract the siege of five quasi-ghost king-level ghosts?

This is really too much of a fuss.

It's totally overkill.

See this.

Jiang Ming grinned.

"Only five quasi-ghost kings? How disappointing."
