Chapter 869: Don’t Mention Money to Me!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Actually, Galaxy Aristocrats’ spacecrafts were easily worth tens of millions as well. They were all high-class and impressive. However, no matter how impressive they were, most Galaxy Aristocrats only had one. If spacecrafts were not stacked up, they would not create a grand scale and atmosphere.

However, Hong Dali was different.

His spacecraft fleet looked like a fleet of wedding cars on Earth. They always lined up in a huge row whenever he left his home. Actually, it was true. One Bugatti Veyron might look cool, but a fleet of fifteen Lamborghinis driving together definitely possessed a stronger aura.

This was Hong Dali’s current state. His crew boarded the spacecraft and mightily headed towards Star Harbor. Along the way, everyone who saw the fleet was left with a deep impression. Countless people pointed at the sky and quietly discussed. They kept guessing about which important person was sitting inside...

On the spacecraft.

Jiang Dongliu looked at the interior decor of the spacecraft and sighed. He was dispirited. “Hai, this Dali, I’ve realized that whoever tries to compare themselves with him will become depressed. I’m technically one of the Elders, right? I’m one of the Five Kings, right? But when you look at it, he has access to Health gems and huge fleets easily. If you look at me, hai...”

“How can my son be bad?” The Great Mister Gate was very proud and satisfied with having Hong Dali as his godson. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. You haven’t seen the Star Harbor side. That’s terrifying. To be honest, even I can’t stand it sometimes. This little rascal hasn’t had the chance to interact with my other sons. However, they have all heard about the legend of Hong Dali. They are all extremely envious of him.”

The Great Mister Gate’s sons were no ordinary people. After he heard that, Jiang Dongliu instantly asked out of curiosity, “Oh? What’s going on there? Why don’t you tell me about it?”

Hong Dali did indeed purchase many storefronts in the Star Harbor previously. One row of storefronts included eight stores. Judging from Gate’s words, these storefronts were all seriously impressive now. What was going on?

Just like that, a curious Jiang Dongliu boarded the George Barton heavy armored spacecraft and arrived at the Star Harbor.

When everyone got off the spacecrafts, all the ordinary people present at the Star Harbor gave them high reviews. They felt that the entrance was grand and impressive. This made Jiang Dongliu very satisfied.

Then, when he arrived at the level where Hong Dali’s stores were, the eleventh level, he was completely stunned...

The entire place was packed!

When Hong Dali first bought the place, it was one of the most secluded corners in the entire mall. When Hong Dali took a lifetime lease (The difference between a lifetime lease and purchasing the property is that the lease only applies to the storefront, the property still belongs to the mall. Whereas purchasing the property gives on the rights to the entire place) for the storefront, he only spent 2,000,000. In this giant mall, a huge space like this only cost 2,000,000. It was considered extremely cheap. However, looking at it now...

“It’s pretty crowded.” Hong Dali sniffled and smiled as he walked in.

When the people in front of the storefront saw Hong Dali, they did not think much. They were surprised by the appearance of Li Nianwei. After all, she was the latest goddess. They were somewhat excited.

However, when they saw Mister Gate, their gazes were filled with greed and desire. It was as if they had been starving for months, and an entire Manchu Han Imperial Feast just appeared in front of them.

“Back off.” Gate humphed and said, “Wait outside, I have serious matters to attend to today!”

Gate then strode forward and opened the doors for Hong Dali and the rest. He locked the doors from the inside after everyone went in.

In recent times, Gate had dealt with countless people looking to create trouble. His reputation had been spread across the entire Star Harbor. From First Order Planet Warriors to the Fourth Order Planet Warriors, nobody could survive a single round under his hands. Hence, everything was in order and undisturbed.

Gate shrugged and sat on the sofa once Hong Dali and the rest went in. He helplessly said, “See? There are so many people here every day. These people are all waiting to fight for armors. This isn’t much actually, the key thing is over there.” He pointed at a few people in the crowd dressed in formal clothes with bodyguards around them. They looked to be important people. “Those people have been waiting for almost half a month. They came to talk to you little rascal.”

“Eh? Talk to me?” Hong Dali curiously asked, “What do they want to talk about?”

Jiang Dongliu’s ears perked up as well.

“They said they want to collaborate with you.” Gate smiled and said, “I’m leaving soon, anyway. Why don’t you ask them and find out how they plan on collaborating with you?”

“Sure.” Hong Dali nodded. “Ask them to come in.”

So Lackey Li Yang... Hm, before he could even make a move, Tianyi rushed forward first to open the doors. This made Li Yang very angry—bastard, you’re crossing the line you know?

Soon, the few of them stormed in. Once they saw Hong Dali, they pushed and pulled one another to rush forward.

“What’s going on with you all?” Hong Dali sniffled. “One by one, you speak first.”

He pointed at the nearest person. “I heard you wish to discuss a collaboration with me?”

“Yes, yes.” The man introduced himself in a rush. “I have been waiting here for you for sixteen days. You finally showed up today.”

Waited for sixteen days? That’s a long time.

Hong Dali humphed and said, “Go ahead, what’s up? Don’t waste my time if it’s some random trivial issue. My time is precious...”

How could it not be precious? Two hours were worth one health point!

“Alright, here’s the deal.” Lei Yihui looked around the store excitedly and said, “I wanted to collaborate with you, sir. You see, your storefront is so huge. There are so many people outside every day. If there’s only one piece of armor, it’s a waste of space and resources. Hence, our company wishes to rent your storefront and display some of our products. Ah, they are all small pieces of equipment, they will not clash with any of your main business services!”

“Oh.” Hong Dali nodded, uninspired. He said, “I see. Hm, next.”

That person did not know what Hong Dali was thinking and felt very anxious. Luckily, Jiang Dongliu asked a very important question, “How much do you plan on paying to rent the space?”

Hong Dali was not sensitive about money. However, it was only natural for others to care the most about that.

Hong Dali spent 2,000,000 Galaxy Dollars on the lease back then. From the Galaxy Alliance Center’s general guidelines on leases, the time frame was usually two years. That equated to around 80,000 per month. Since this person wanted to rent out part of the space, he should offer at least a hundred thousand dollars per month, right? It should make them a decent profit margin. Not bad.

Jiang Dongliu was almost scared to death by what the person said next.

“Sir, our company’s offer is 500,000 Galaxy Dollars per month.” The person looked serious.

“Cough cough, how much?” Jiang Dongliu stared with his eyes wide open. “500,000 per month?!”

Oh god, 500,000 Galaxy Dollars per month to rent out part of the space here? What was the initial cost here? Within a month, the pricing had multiplied by six times?! action

“Yes, 500,000 Galaxy Dollars per month.” The man was certain.

“See?” Gate helplessly shrugged his shoulders. “Back then we used to wonder how the little rascal earned his money. Just look at the crowd outside...”

Jiang Dongliu took a look. There were at least a few thousand people outside now. Countless more were gathering around.

After all, people all loved to rubberneck. Most of them here did not expect to obtain the top-grade armor. They just came to speculate. Hence, there were some people here to rubberneck, some here to fight for the armor, and some who just happened to stop by. It was a terrifying crowd.

As a good Pops, he had to follow up. Gate’s next line made Jiang Dongliu completely stunned.

“Stop staring.” Gate pouted disdainfully at Jiang Dongliu’s reactions. “It’s only 500,000. The few neighboring stores’ leasing prices are all multiplying as well. They used to cost only 300,000. Now they won’t even agree on 3,000,000.”

Jiang Dongliu could only express his shock here. Tianyi, on the other hand, could only kneel down in disbelief.

“What the heck.” Gate explained that people should not compare themselves with others. “I’ve come to find out that my bastard son’s trading is more profitable than my robberies. Who would have thought that he started this all just to squander...”

Hm, speaking of which, when Hong Dali first took the lease for the stores, he truly only wanted to squander. When he finished the Main Mission and exchanged for all the attribute points, he did not plan on earning any money at all.

Not anyone could take up the role of a prodigal! It was a highly technical role...

Lucifer helplessly sighed behind. “Compared to Brother Dali, hai, it hurts my pride...” It made sense. When he went to the casino to squander, he nearly gave his life away. Compared to Dali, he took a stroll through the casino and won a business worth 150,000,000.

He went to the Bar Street to smash some buildings and ended up calling a Galaxy Aristocrat Elder and one of the Five Kings, Jiang Dongliu, his Grandpa.

He came here to squander. In the blink of an eye, the stores’ values multiplied tenfold.

What the heck? Who else could be called god’s son? They really had an eye-opener today.

Hong Dali thought about it. Everyone was depressed when they heard what he said next. “Hm, maybe. Who’s next? I want to see what you all came for. Oh right, don’t talk about money. I despise people mentioning money to me. Emotions. Emotions are what matter most!”
