Chapter 186 A bunch of decorations
Although he had sorted out four people who could cooperate, Xiao Ran did not make blind choices, nor did he rush to find ways to contact these people. Now Xiao Ran is like a peerless swordsman with a treasure in his possession. He has personal power and treasure, but he is alone and his power 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 doesn't know whether the other participants will integrate into the life of normal humans, but at least he has come from a normal human life, and he also knows what things will be sought after by the rich in humans. Anyway, Xiao Ran has his mind set on buying his own Regarding the jewelry of Prometheus System Store, although Xiao Ran does not understand these things, Sheryl does, and as Sheryl now, it also provides him with a lot of convenience in handling these things.
In addition to searching the Internet for materials and information on potential cooperation partners, Xiao Ran is also searching for information on the latest machine developed by AEU on the Internet. MS is not a secret in this world. Many forums have analysis of MS data from various forces. Although the specific details of AEU's latest machine 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 confirmed that the plot of this world has not yet begun, because there is no report about heavenly beings on the Internet. This will give Xiao Ran more time to prepare.
In addition, I also searched for some information about Auction House on the Internet, the price information of jewelry, etc. After comparing and recording several stores, Xiao Ran also had a rough idea of the price of the jewelry he carried. If all the jewelry he carried were sold, it would be enough to make him one of the top rich people in the world in terms of personal assets.
Xiao Ran occupied a grid in Storage Slot, and from the jewelry labeled as 'a bunch of decorations', he selected one of the few items that he thought was the best, and put it into the black suitcase from before. He randomly found a place to put the money in the suitcase, changed his clothes, and walked 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., also has a deep understanding of this, and also feels 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 there should be no such 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 Auction House that it would be auctioned within two months. Once sold, the money would be transferred to the account designated by Xiao Ran within sixty days or the auction fee would be paid in the form of a cash check.
When he heard that he had to wait nearly two months, Xiao Ran immediately shook his head. "When will the auction be held soon?"
The staff replied politely, "Your piece of jewelry is already a treasure. Such a large natural gemstone is almost invisible in this era. If possible, we Auction House hope to conduct a public exhibition for a period of time, so as to maximize the benefits of the jewelry. At the same time, we will also collect some other jewelry for this jewelry. A large-scale jewelry auction will cause a sensation, and this jewelry can 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 understood what this person meant. If you want to get a higher auction price, it's best not to rush for a day or two. But after two months, the day lilies will be cold, and the plot may have already begun by then. It is not appropriate to lay out 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, and there are also quite a few that are lower grade than this, including gems, diamonds, and jade. There are about dozens of pieces in total, which is 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 that amount."
"Take your lawyers, appraisers, and those other 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. He 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 Mr. Xiao said, that there are dozens of pieces of good jewelry, I can agree to your request. As for the identity of the gentleman, we will never leak the customer's information." The staff nodded repeatedly and handed out a business card to Xiao Ran with both hands. After taking a look, he discovered that the guy he had always thought was an ordinary employee was actually a deputy manager of this Auction House.
Xiao Ran accepted the business card, picked up his things and turned around to leave. On the way back to the hotel, he also contacted Sheryl. After thinking about it, he decided to let Sheryl come over to find him, but he asked Sheryl to open a new room on the same floor of the hotel.
When Sheryl arrived at the hotel, Xiao Ran also entered Sheryl's room without anyone noticing. When Sheryl saw Xiao Ran, Setsuna still showed an expression of joy and excitement, but he held his hands and turned his head away, deliberately not looking at Xiao Ran. For Xiao Ran, it was only more than a day since he saw Sheryl, but for Sheryl, it was a full month without seeing Xiao Ran, and he was working hard alone in this strange world.
He walked up to Sheryl and gently hugged Sheryl, and kissed her on the forehead. Xiao Ran's movement was like a catalyst, making Sheryl's red eyes turn red. "Damn it, you 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 Sheryl's face with both hands, kissed her on the mouth, and then said, "If you knew this was the case, I would rather you wait for me at Prometheus than let you follow me."
"Humph, you know you feel sorry for me." Sheryl raised his chin, with a satisfied look on his face. "But there is no need to waste Merit Points. Anyway, I am used to this kind of life, and I can take care of myself."
Xiao Ran smiled and took Sheryl to sit down, listening quietly to Sheryl describing his life in the past month. When he woke up, he found that Xiao Ran was no longer afraid in his heart, he was relieved after hearing the voice in his head, and he was calm when he released the record. He was not proud of being popular all over the world in a short period of time, but he was absolutely confident in his own strength.
The two of them talked for about half an hour, and then the phone that Xiao Ran bought in this world rang. It was Auction House. After Xiao Ran told them the room number, he turned All the 'pile of decorations' in Storage Slot were taken out and placed on the coffee table in the suite. After a few minutes, about a dozen people from Auction House's lawyers, appraisers, staff and security personnel 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 placed on the table, their eyes immediately lit up. However, they did not rush to look through the jewelry. Instead, they calmed down and appraised, screened, and recorded these items one by one.
It's not like no one among these people recognized Sheryl, a person who became famous all over the world at an incredible speed not long after his debut. After a brief shock, he never looked at Sheryl again. Instead, he concentrated on processing the things in front of him, which showed a very good professional quality. Xiao Ran also nodded lightly.
After busy for several hours, Auction House's appraisers finally appraised all the jewelry and estimated the price of several billions of UNION currency. However, because the quantity was too large and the quality was very good, after obtaining Xiao Ran's consent, Auction House It was decided to gradually conduct auctions within two years, and an advance of 2 billion was given to Xiao Ran. Of course, Xiao Ran would not have any meaning to this. Anyway, these things were nothing to him. Being able to exchange for so much money made Xiao Ran satisfied.
With so much money, Xiao Ran could disguise himself properly, and Xiao Ran also hoped that Sheryl could participate in Auction House's promotional activities. With such a small request and the popularity of Sheryl at this time, the deputy manager nodded and agreed without even hesitating.
After signing the agreement, Auction House's people hurriedly left, leaving only Xiao Ran and Sheryl in the room, but Xiao Ran just wanted to do something to comfort An While comforting Sheryl, Sheryl rushed in front of Xiao Ran. 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 stared dumbfoundedly at Sheryl closing the door, he felt a little dumbfounded when he realized it. He scratched his hair and followed him out, back to his suite.
Just one more chapter, I'm going to sleep...
