My Hundred-Trillion Fortune Earned Me an Emperor's Treatment
Ma Yaoqing, president of Sichuan Pepper Bank, was in the middle of an intimate moment with a woman when the phone in his pants pocket suddenly began to vibrate.
Ma Yaoqing answered. "Xiao Li, what is it?"
"President! A top-tier tycoon worth hundreds of trillions wants to open a card with no transfer limit at our bank, and he plans to deposit sixteen trillion in it. Could you come back?"
Hearing the teller's words, Ma Yaoqing perked right up. "How much did you say he was worth?" he asked in surprise.
"Several hundred trillion. Chairman, you can look up Lu Yuan on Baidu."
Ma Yaoqing swallowed hard, quickly got dressed, and said into the phone, "Look after this tycoon for now. I'll hurry back right away!"
Whether it was the sixteen-trillion deposit or a fortune worth hundreds of trillions, neither left Ma Yaoqing able to stay calm. Once the bank secured that deposit, Sichuan Pepper Bank's overall strength would take another huge leap.
After Lu Yuan had waited for a little over ten minutes, a Hongqi pulled up outside. Ma Yaoqing walked in, his face full of enthusiasm, and asked Xiao Li, the teller, "Which gentleman wants to open a card?"
Xiao Li pointed at Lu Yuan. When Ma Yaoqing saw his face, another storm of crashing waves surged through his heart. Was a tycoon worth hundreds of trillions really this young?
Ma Yaoqing was still a little hesitant. "Xiao Li! Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
"I haven't made a mistake, President," Xiao Li said firmly. "You can ask Mr. Lu to show you his phone. His WeChat balance has a full sixteen trillion in it."
As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, Lu Yuan deliberately opened his WeChat wallet in front of Ma Yaoqing. The long string of digits nearly made Ma Yaoqing collapse onto the floor.
After recovering from his shock, Ma Yaoqing immediately adopted a deferential manner. He bowed ninety degrees and said to Lu Yuan, "Chairman Lu! This way, please. We'll take you through the priority channel!"
Under the envious gazes of a crowd of people, Lu Yuan entered Sichuan Pepper Bank's priority channel. It was the first time the channel had been opened to anyone since the bank was founded.
Ma Yaoqing waved a few tellers over. "All of you, come along. Make some good tea for Chairman Lu and prepare some snacks. And you two pretty ones, come give Chairman Lu a shoulder and leg massage in a little while."
With that, Ma Yaoqing hurried after Lu Yuan at a jog. "Chairman Lu! Wait for me!"
The men still waiting in line all looked envious. Sichuan Pepper Bank's female tellers were all chosen for their pretty faces, and they were no less attractive than some of the biggest stars on screen. Who wouldn't want to have their way with them?
But with what they were worth, the tellers wouldn't give them a second look.
The customers in the bank lobby couldn't help breaking into discussion:
"Man, being worth hundreds of trillions must feel amazing! Pretty tellers giving you a massage and the bank president opening your card personally. That's treatment fit for an emperor..."
"If only we could be like that someday."
"Go wash up and get some sleep. You can have anything in your dreams."
In the most luxurious VIP room beyond the priority channel, Lu Yuan was seated in an exquisite chair. Ma Yaoqing beamed. "Chairman Lu! Just relax and let our girls give you a good massage!"
Lu Yuan frowned. "Forget it! I don't like people touching my body. Instead of all this empty fuss, why don't you give me something practical?"
Something practical?
After thinking it over, Ma Yaoqing said to Lu Yuan, "Chairman Lu, how about I give you a Sichuan Pepper Emperor Card? With this card, you can enjoy a lifetime interest-free loan of one quadrillion, and you'll also get ninety percent off everything at every company under Sichuan Pepper Group. What do you think?"
Lu Yuan nodded. "Not bad. Let's go with that!"
After opening the card, Lu Yuan walked out of the bank feeling relaxed. He finally no longer had to worry about transfer limits. Lu Yuan placed the card on his right hand. "Use Magical Right Hand's duplication ability."
Before long, an identical bank card appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Lu Yuan laughed heartily. "Doesn't that give me thirty-six trillion in spending money?"
After getting his bank card, Lu Yuan headed straight for the largest antiques street in Magic City.
The antiques street had been around for a long time. Every day, people found bargains here and became billionaires, while others went from billionaires to penniless paupers.
Whether it was porcelain, calligraphy, famous paintings, or other antiques, this place had it all. As long as you had money, you could buy antiques from every dynasty, from the Tang, Song, and Yuan to the Ming and Qing. Of course, you could also end up buying a fake.
A sudden idea struck Lu Yuan. He placed his hand against the gate at the entrance. "System! Use Tycoon Critical Hit on the antiques street!"
[You touched an antiques street, triggering a hundredfold Tycoon Critical Hit reward!] [Congratulations, host, on obtaining every antique on the antiques street. The system has automatically turned the fakes into genuine articles for you.] [Starting today, every antique on the antiques street will become a fake. The antiques have been deposited in Suburban Villa No. 1 for you.]
Even Lu Yuan couldn't stay calm. Wasn't the system a little too ruthless? What item worthy of being called an antique wasn't worth at least several hundred thousand, or tens of millions at most?
Add up the stock of every merchant on an entire antiques street, and there had to be at least a hundred thousand or even several hundred thousand collectibles...
If he fucking sold them all, getting onto the world's rich list probably wouldn't be a problem.
After receiving the system's Tycoon Critical Hit reward, Lu Yuan headed straight home. What a joke. Now that everything on the antiques street was fake, why the hell would he bother looking around?
Lu Yuan went straight to the suburban villa district and used facial recognition to enter the villa.
"Master! Welcome home!" A petite, adorable young woman in a maid outfit greeted Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan frowned. "You are?"
The young woman introduced herself. "My name is An Xiaoyan. I'm the private maid who came with the villa. I'm responsible for taking care of your daily needs and keeping the villa clean."
Lu Yuan nodded without saying anything else and walked farther into the villa.
The villa was in an exceptionally good location and occupied a vast area. It had a coconut grove, an outdoor golf course, and a private island, with a yacht on the island.
There were four or five helipads in total, where aircraft could be parked.
Lu Yuan walked all the way to the rooms. The grand decor was even more luxurious than that of foreign royalty. There was a separate wine cellar, a private study, a movie room, a private KTV room, and a swimming pool.
[Ding! You have entered the suburban villa. All the antiques from the antiques street have been stored in the underground garage for you. Please check them promptly, host.] [Ding! You have entered a suburban villa. The five hundred jin of Da Hong Pao tea leaves you previously touched have been stored in the tea room for you, host.]
After hearing the system notifications, Lu Yuan quickened his pace and went to the underground garage. But once he got there, he was dumbfounded.
How the fuck was this a garage? With more than two hundred parking spaces, it was big enough to hold a car show!
As a young man with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Lu Yuan rubbed his head in frustration. "Sigh! I have too few cars. I'll have to visit some dealerships more often and buy some cars later. I'll try to fill this whole garage."
Lu Yuan picked through the pile of antiques and found a painting that caught his eye. He couldn't help asking the system, "System! What painting is this?"
[System: It is the original The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.]
