Chapter 367: Always Able to Bring Surprises

After staying on the ship for one night, Miss Luo Quan took the seaplane arranged by Auben and returned to the Maldives with Lin Yizhu.

Coming out this time, her leave time was running out. If she followed the cruise ship back to China, it would definitely be too late.

It just happened that they hadn't sailed too far, so Miss Luo Quan directly took a plane back with Lin Yizhu.

Before leaving, Miss Luo Quan also separated more than 30 million from the 300 million US dollars of chips she had just obtained and handed them to Johnson.

She had promised to buy a diamond ring from him before, originally thinking it was just to brush him off, but unexpectedly, Johnson really arranged it for her after returning that night.

It was a large diamond ring named "Brilliant Flower," composed of red diamonds, pink diamonds, blue diamonds, and white diamonds. Among them, the red diamond weighed 1.5 carats and was the heart of the diamond flower, forming the stamen together with two pink diamonds totaling 4 carats. A circle of diamonds was also surrounded, luxurious and beautiful to the extreme.

And the price of such a diamond ring was naturally ridiculously high, a full 32.34 million US dollars.

It was a bit cheaper than her car, but not by much.

However, Miss Luo Quan, who had just made a windfall, was also very wealthy at this time and very generously bought this ring that looked very nice.

When Johnson showed her the photos, he originally wanted to give it to her directly. However, Miss Luo Quan's attitude was the same as before, firmly refusing to take it for free, insisting on buying it at the original price.

Helplessly, Johnson could only retreat and choose the next best thing, giving Miss Luo Quan a favorable price of 30 million US dollars on the grounds of making a friend, which was wiping out the fraction.

To this point, Miss Luo Quan certainly couldn't be picky anymore. This level of diamond ring was usually a private collection of tycoons and rarely circulated on the market.

Johnson was willing to take it out to sell to her and gave so many discounts, which was already quite meaningful, although his purpose might not be particularly pure.

But at least a gentleman judges by actions, not by heart. From the beginning of the meeting, he had been showing favor.

And if she continued to be pretentious, it would indeed be easy to make people feel disgusted.

Of course, this situation was generally minimal.

Therefore, after setting the price, Miss Luo Quan very quickly handed over one-tenth of the chips she hadn't had time to exchange for deposits to Johnson.

The rest were all exchanged for deposits by the casino.

This time Auben owed Miss Luo Quan a big favor and directly exempted her from all handling fees.

In addition, considering Miss Luo Quan's status, he didn't give her money directly, but completed the payment through share transfer.

In fact, it was normal. Although casinos are legal in many places, it is also a consensus that the water inside is very deep. Many people choose to wash it through casinos after obtaining unclear income.

And a relatively common way is this way of transferring shares.

This time, the shares Auben gave Miss Luo Quan were all from big companies like Apple and Tesla, which could obtain 300 million US dollars of legal income directly by selling them.

However, the stock market performance of these two companies had been quite good in recent years. If they were held in hand, there would still be good room for rise.

Although Apple was hacked by a hacker for a few percentage points some time ago, because the handling was relatively timely and the public relations were in place, the market situation rose back quickly.

However, Miss Luo Quan was also bitten by a snake once and feared the rope for ten years. Since then, she had never saved any important information on her Apple phone.

And this time, getting the shares of Apple, even knowing that this was a stable profit-making business, she still decisively chose to sell, exchanging back nearly 200 million in real money.

As for the remaining 100 million US dollars worth of Tesla shares, Miss Luo Quan didn't sell them.

This car company, founded in 2003, was recently working on some new energy vehicles. After the new car was announced, it received widespread praise in the industry, and its sales at home and abroad were increasing day by day.

Overall, this was a company with great potential for rise. Miss Luo Quan's 100 million US dollars worth of shares was equivalent to 0.25% of Tesla's shares now.

Not much, but not little. After all, Tesla was now a big company with a market value of nearly 40 billion.

However, Miss Luo Quan didn't know how to operate it herself. She asked her old man, and her old man said if you don't know how to operate, don't operate blindly. Just hold it steadily and wait for dividends at the end of the year. This was basically advice applicable to all novices entering the stock market.

As a retail investor with dispersed funds, it was quite difficult to stir up trouble in the stock market, unless a huge number of retail investors united to make a difference.

If one wanted to fight head-on with those financial giants by one's own strength, it was synonymous with leeks. Every time the stock market fluctuated, those who thought they could have a chance to pick up leaks were usually the first to die.

Overnight, Miss Luo Quan became a wealthy woman with a net worth of over 2 billion.

When returning to the Maldives, the sunshine was still as enthusiastic as when she left.

For her now, money seemed to have really become a number.

She had a house, she had a car, and she had jewelry.

Materially, she had been greatly satisfied, and the next step was the demand for spirit.

Compared to the pursuit of material aspects, her spiritual pursuit in this world, which was her star journey, had just begun.

Miss Luo Quan returned to the Maldives at just the right time. Wen Xia and the others were preparing to pack their luggage and book tickets to return home.

Seeing Miss Luo Quan and Lin Yizhu who returned suddenly, the girls were surprised and booked two more tickets.

After getting on the ship this time, Lin Yizhu didn't meet Miss Luo Quan, mainly because there were too many people. Lin Yizhu was pulled to meet various uncles and elders and couldn't get away.

After the banquet ended, she was invited by a group of boys to dance, so she didn't go to meet Miss Luo Quan.

However, when Miss Luo Quan played "Für Elise" on stage, she saw it clearly. After playing, she proudly told her elders and other peers: "This is my monitor, we are in the same dormitory!"

After eating lunch in the Maldives for the last time, the girls boarded the plane back home.

Coming out this time could be considered a fun trip, especially for the members of Girls' Generation. Their nerves, which had been tense from March until now, finally relaxed. For these few days, they didn't have to think about any work at all, just lying on the beach sunbathing and blowing the sea breeze.

If they were a bit hot from the sun, they would jump into the water and swim two laps. It was called comfortable.

The only flaw was that the food on the island was a bit monotonous, and most of it was related to seafood.

Chunzi and Yuner were still a bit better, having eaten a lot since they were children.

But most of the others lived in the inland of China. Eating it once in a while was fine, but eating too much made them feel a bit greasy.

Of course, this was just a small flaw in this journey.

After a long journey of twenty hours, the plane arrived in Beijing.

Everyone parted ways here. Girls' Generation was going to stay in Beijing for a few days, first conducting a week of training to get rid of the laziness of these few days.

Then they would shoot TV dramas if they needed to, or participate in variety shows if they needed to.

It was almost the end of the year, and they also had to rush for performance. Moreover, it was said that they were going to develop in South Korea early next year. Now the company had always been in the stage of marketing and momentum, and the specific development route had not been completely finalized.

However, it was probably to let the girls participate in some popular variety shows in South Korea first, get familiar with them there, and after the popularity accumulated, they would start activities in the form of a group.

Although in the year since the Hallyu ban was issued, South Korean stars had almost disappeared in China, the authorities had never admitted the existence of the Hallyu ban.

Moreover, the GD Bureau did not restrict domestic stars from developing in South Korea. If you really had the ability to counter-attack South Korean entertainment, this could also be considered a good thing for winning glory for the country.

However, as far as the current situation was concerned, those who had greater influence in South Korea in China were basically artists from Hong Kong. In the mainland, it was estimated that there was only one Miss Luo Quan and Girls' Generation.

South Korea's entertainment industry was quite developed, and the Hallyu wind occupied a place even in the United States. Counter-attacking was not an easy thing.

As far as the current situation was concerned, Girls' Generation had more hope than Miss Luo Quan.

After all, in July last year, Miss Luo Quan carried the Hallyu ban storm to promote her new album in South Korea, losing a wave of passers-by.

Although she later regained a lot because of her appearance and works, her image in the eyes of the South Korean public was not particularly good, and it couldn't compare with China and Japan.

Currently, she could be considered to have conquered two of the three East Asian countries, and now there was only one left.

Of course, it was still a bit early to talk about these, and her work focus still had to be placed on China, Japan, and Europe and the United States. After all, these were the real big markets.

After drifting outside for nearly a week, the girls finally returned to the campus they had been away from for a long time.

The first thing was to go to the counselor to cancel the leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Miss Luo Quan walked into the office, she found that the situation seemed a bit wrong.

"Dean, why are you here?" Miss Luo Quan looked at Dean Zheng curiously.

"Oh, Miss Luo Quan, why didn't you say anything when you asked for leave?" Dean Zheng saw Miss Luo Quan, let out a long sigh, and hurriedly walked over.

Miss Luo Quan was a bit nervous, thinking that she had asked for leave too many times and the school was a bit unhappy: "I asked for leave from the counselor... It is true that I have asked for leave quite frequently recently. I will definitely pay attention next time!"

As soon as Dean Zheng heard it, he knew Miss Luo Quan had misunderstood, and explained with a smile: "That's not what I meant. If students have needs, the school will naturally give leave.

My meaning is, why didn't you answer the school's email when you were abroad?"

Dean Zheng reminded her, and Miss Luo Quan remembered that her Apple phone hadn't been turned on.

Before, she left the email address logged in on her Apple phone to the school. After turning it off, she first took twenty hours to Beijing, and then took two hours to Shanghai. She had been in a state of being out of touch for this whole day.

Miss Luo Quan hurriedly explained: "I don't use this phone much now, and I've been on the plane all day, so I forgot to turn it on."

"It's okay, just come back." Dean Zheng laughed, "Miss Luo Quan, this time you have won great glory for our Shangyi!"

"Won glory?" Miss Luo Quan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted: "You mean the 'Für Elise' I played?"

It had been a day and two nights since she played "Für Elise." There were many reporters on the scene at the time, and it should have been sent out that night. It was estimated that it had fermented enough in China by now.

"It's 'Für Elise'!" Dean Zheng was as happy as a child at this time, "Foreign media have praised you as a musical genius comparable to Mozart. Whether it is 'Canon' or 'Für Elise,' they are excellent works that are rare in a hundred years.

Domestic major media have also started to report one after another. Thanks to you, Shangyi has now become a prestigious school that has nurtured world-class musical geniuses!"

Speaking of this, Dean Zheng's old face couldn't help but blush: "Although I know that your talent actually has nothing to do with the school, after all, you have only been enrolled for less than three months.

But out of the need for publicity, the school did say some relatively vain words when dealing with reporter interviews..."

Miss Luo Quan understood Dean Zheng's meaning and smiled: "I understand what you mean, but as a student of Shangyi now, being able to bring honor to the school is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

It is also my honor that the school can use me for publicity."

Dean Zheng saw Miss Luo Quan was so understanding, and laughed loudly: "Miss Luo Quan, you are truly our Shangyi... no, the musical pillar of our China!

The heavy responsibility of leading Chinese music to the world will have to be led by you in the future."

Miss Luo Quan hurriedly waved her hands, terrified: "Dean, you think too highly of me. I am just a student now, and there are still many shortcomings. How dare I take such a title?

If it is really publicized like this, how will those old seniors and old qualifications look at me in the future? How will public opinion look at me?"

Dean Zheng shook his head: "I certainly won't say such things to the media, but it is an indisputable fact that you are becoming the leader of the younger generation of music.

In fact, whether it is classical music or popular music, your achievements have already exceeded many old seniors.

As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front. With such an excellent wave behind you, those artists who are both virtuous and artistic will also be very happy. They will be too late to carry you, so how can they exclude you?"

In Dean Zheng's eyes, Miss Luo Quan was truly too humble.

Many peers he had met were already arrogant when they had one-tenth of Miss Luo Quan's achievements, and arrogance is also a common problem for most geniuses.

Only Miss Luo Quan had always maintained a heart of innocence, which was also the most commendable place for her.

However, only Miss Luo Quan herself knew that although she couldn't see it on the surface, she was truly unable to calmly treat these works as the emergence of her own talent.

Therefore, she used humility to cover up her guilty conscience.

"By the way, the finals of the Shangyi Music Competition are about to start. The influence of this music competition is getting bigger and bigger, and it has progressed to the point of being broadcast live on CCTV.

Therefore, CCTV will soon conduct an interview with you. This is also the reason why I am in a hurry to find you. I will tell you here, prepare well.

You have been on the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, so you should know what to do."

"I understand." Miss Luo Quan nodded, indicating that she had already kept it in her heart.
