Reborn Financial Overlord

"$300 million!"

"My God, the honorable gentleman is offering $300 million!"

"Oh. I'm so excited."

"Is there any higher?"

The guests around were also shocked by this unbelievable price. You know, with 300 million US dollars, a small listed company does not have such a large annual profit.

But now, someone paid so much money just to have a meal with others.

This is too extravagant.

Even financial tycoons like Soros and Buffett were in a daze for a moment. They never expected that Shen Jiannan's meal would be auctioned for such an unbelievable sky-high price.

How much money can I make if I do this?

Thinking of this, Soros felt very regretful.

The man who broke the Bank of England, this title that will surely leave a strong mark in financial history, now looks like it has turned into a supreme weapon.

And these should have belonged to him.

Buffett is envious.

As a financial practitioner, he is also known as the fifth-generation stock god, but compared with the young man's pretentious means, he is still far behind.

For a meal, $300 million is excluded.

Could it be... are people's brains not so good nowadays?

Or, when people forget about it, I'll have a try. How many people with cerebral palsy are there in this world?

Soon, Soros and Buffett met their eyes.

The two reached an agreement in an instant and did not follow up with another bid, not because they couldn't afford it or felt sorry for the money.

They are all of the same kind, and no one knows that no one is a good thing.

Shen Jiannan suddenly threw out a dinner auction, or on such an occasion, there must be some purpose, those who want to use him, but they don't know that they are being used by him.

Not to mention anything else, just spreading the news of this $300 million meal will make his reputation even more soaring.

And those guys below thought they could get some investment opportunities from him, but they didn't know that this cunning oriental man in front of him wanted this result.

Obviously, this is the result that Shen Jiannan himself is happy to see.

Going to grab a shot at this time is not a courtesy, but a deliberate offense.

Watching with their eyes, Warren Buffett and George Soros had no intention of making a move at all.

This disappointed many people.

If even these two financial giants do not participate in the auction, I am afraid there will not be any good shows to watch.

"300 million dollars a time!"

"300 million twice."

"..."

Sure enough, no one bid again.

Diane Lane rang the auction gavel and began to announce the final winning bidder.

"Congratulations to Mr. No. 32, the final winner of this auction. Let us thank him for his generosity and gentlemanship."

clap clap-

There was enthusiastic applause from all around, and many celebrities, beauties and sexy girls cast a brilliant wink at Stephen Ann.

Such a rich man looks really pleasing to the eye.

Many women have even planned how to get close to Stephen Ann.

Those who can throw away 300 million US dollars are definitely the real top rich people.

Enjoying the envy, temptation and jealousy brought by the surroundings, Stephen Ann looked like a victorious rooster with his neck held high.

In any case, he is the biggest winner of this auction.

But for Ro Wayne, it felt terrible.

$100 million outright asking $300 million is just plain stupid.

"Stephen. You idiot, who asked you to bid three million dollars at a time?"

"Walter? Isn't it the $300 million you said?"

"You idiot! I mean OK! OK. You see, it's not $300 million!"

"Jesus. I thought you meant three million. Now what?"

What else can I do?

Salad.

Finally, the auction came to an end.

Under the arrangement of Linton Manor, the guests who came here enjoyed the dinner provided by the manor.

Shen Jiannan separated from Soros and Buffett, ate some salad and pastries, and chatted with Countess Spali, who came over by him, with a glass of red wine.

To be honest, Spars was really pretty.

But every time Shen Jiannan looked at her, he felt creepy.

The woman in front of her looked at herself, as if she was about to swallow herself.

"Shen. Are you really too handsome?"

Spali was holding the wine glass, and the blue dress propped up her figure that could drink milk tea.

Obviously, she was very confident in her figure, she was talking, her arms were already hooked on Shen Jiannan's shoulders, looming, trying to seduce people into committing crimes.

Shen Jiannan complained repeatedly.

He was really terrified of this kind of woman.

At this moment, a burly blond man walked over with a big bag full of food.

Shen Jiannan seemed to see a savior, and couldn't help but greet him.

"Comrade Templum."

These years, I can only eat ten dollars a day for lunch, every meal of hamburgers, even a god would have had enough.

It was rare to encounter an unusually sumptuous dinner. Ten Lamp took a tray full of beef and caviar, and his mouth was full of oil.

He was suddenly stopped by someone, and he froze for a while.

Comrade?

Shen Jiannan didn't care about these things, in order to get rid of the countess' entanglement, this guy took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Comrade Ten Lamp, you have worked hard, thank you very much for everything you have done!"

Immediately, Ten Lamp's face showed excitement, thinking that Shen Jiannan was just thanking himself and Luo Wayne for cooperating in the auction.

He randomly grabbed a piece of cloth and wiped it on his hand, then quickly stretched out his hand and held it with Shen Jiannan.

"It's not hard. It's all what I should do."

? ? ? ?

What am I talking about?

After speaking, Ten Lamp realized that he didn't know what he was talking about.

at the same time.

black sea.

An [-]-ton tugboat, escorted by two frigates sent by the Odessa military, dragged a huge unpowered monster slowly on the sea.

The wind is sunny, there are no waves to be seen on the sea, and there is a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

Not too much time, the tugboat safely arrived in the central area of ​​the Black Sea, out of the Ukrainian waters.

"Peng. We can only send you here. One nautical mile ahead is the waters of Bulgaria and Turkey. We can't move forward."

On one of the frigates, Rear Admiral **** of Odessa patted Peng San on the shoulder and said apologetically.

Since Peng San came, he and his soldiers ate the big meat that they hadn't eaten for a long time, drank the vodka that had been discontinued for a long time, and he also got a lot of benefits.

From the bottom of his heart, he liked this generous Oriental very much.

Even if there is no order from General Kurishenko, for the sake of friends and money, he will escort Peng San here.

But now, he really can't go any further.

Bulgaria and Turkey, which have recently been battling at sea over fisheries and territory, could lead to a diplomatic incident if the Ukrainian military gets too close.

Being slapped on the shoulder by the police officer, under the interpreter's explanation, Peng San felt a little regretful and helpless.

If you want to cross the Black Sea to the Pacific Ocean and then to Hong Kong, it is thousands of miles away. God knows what troubles you will encounter in the vast sea. If you are escorted by the Odessa military all the way, at least pirates will not dare to come and harass you.

But he also understands that the Ukrainian navy can only escort here at most, and the front is already in the waters of Bulgaria and Turkey, and it is impossible for Ukraine to have a head-on conflict with these two countries.

"Ivan. I am very grateful for sending us here. With this money, buy wine for these brothers for me."

"Thank you! Then I wish you all the best of luck and safe arrival in Hong Kong."

After waving with ****, Peng San led the men onto the tugboat on the pedals.

A middle-aged man who walked with wind came over, looked at the sea ahead, and frowned deeply.

"Are they going to return?"

"Yes. The front is already in the waters of Bulgaria and Turkey, and the Ukrainian military cannot get too close."

"I hope there will be no trouble."

"Probably not. We have no direct conflict of interest with these two countries."

"Although the shell of the gambling boat is good, the intelligence agencies of various countries are not blind. Everyone knows the real purpose of our trip."

"..."

Peng San was speechless.

But in this kind of matter, there is very little he can do to help.

The speed of the tugboat is not high, and it can't even feel too much shaking while pulling a big guy on the sea.

In the afternoon, the tugboat arrived in Istanbul, which is the junction of the Black Sea and the Marla Sea. As long as they go to the Marla Sea, the relationship between China and Greece should be smooth sailing.

Chapter 67 Those who come are not kind, but those who are kind do not come

Istanbul, also known as Constantinople.

It is the center of Turkey's economy, culture, and transportation, a world-famous tourist destination, and one of the bustling international metropolises.

Located at the eastern end of the Balkan Peninsula, on the west bank of the southern entrance of the Bosphorus Strait, and at the entrance of the Black Sea, it is a hub of Eurasian transportation, and its strategic position is extremely important.

It was built on the headland between the Golden Horn and the Sea of ​​Marmara in 658 BC, and it was called Byzantium.

In 330 AD, Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to this place. At first it was called New Rome, but it was soon named Constantinople after its founder Constantine.

Istanbul's name existed for hundreds of years before the Ottoman conquest.

One of the main reasons why the city of Istanbul is famous all over the world is its unique geographical location. Within its coverage area, there is a golden waterway that separates the Asian and European continents.

Bosphorus.

The strait, which is 7000 kilometers long and [-] meters wide at its mouth, connects the Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Marmara, forms the Turkish Strait together with the Dardanelles and the Sea of ​​Marmara, and connects Asia and Europe. The continent is divided.

The Sea of ​​Marmara is the smallest sea in the world with an area of ​​only 350 square kilometers.

However, it is surrounded by Turkish territory, connected by the Bosporus Strait and the Black Sea in the northeast, and communicated with the Aegean Sea in the southwest by the Dardanelles.Therefore, the Bosporus Strait is equivalent to being stuck in the "throat" of the Eurasian continent, and has a non-negligible impact on Turkey's political situation and world history.

The Turks proudly say that the Bosporus Strait "holds Asia in one hand and Europe in the other", because the unique geographical location of the Bosphorus Strait has always benefited the Turks a lot.

Since the 17th century, the Russian Empire fought twelve wars with the Ottoman Empire over the Caucasus, Balkans, Crimea, Black Sea and other places in 240 years in order to fight for access to the sea. The two countries will fight each other every 20 years.
