Chapter 1908: Kill your arrogance

Upon hearing this, Fei Kexin couldn't help but laugh.

She truly didn't expect that Ye Chen's methods for making money would be so extreme.

A mere treadmill, even a top brand, would cost no more than a few thousand US dollars, at most ten thousand US dollars. Yet Ye Chen wanted to charge nearly 100,000 US dollars just for providing it for a few days; it could truly be said to be expensive to the sky.

Fei Jianzhong couldn't help but sigh at this time, "This Bai Jinhangong is a standard slaughterhouse for the rich. The various names for collecting money inside are simply so many that you wouldn't dare to imagine."

Fei Kexin hurriedly comforted, "Grandfather, this little bit of money actually doesn't count for anything. You don't need to take it too much to heart; just accept it as it comes."

"Yes." Fei Jianzhong said dejectedly, "I also understand the principle of accepting it as it comes, but I didn't expect them to have no bottom line; it's truly somewhat subversive to my worldview."

After saying that, Fei Jianzhong asked again, "Kexin, based on my actual experience here, I feel that this boss behind the scenes is just a profiteer who is blinded by greed. Can your human favor offensive against this kind of person be effective?"

Fei Kexin pondered for a moment and said, "Grandfather, according to my observation, this Master Ye behind the scenes doesn't seem like a profiteer. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hiding his identity all along. I estimate he just wants to take this opportunity to knock some bamboo sticks off these wealthy people."

As she spoke, she added, "You also said that Grandpa Lai once obtained a Rejuvenation Pill from him because of a chance encounter, and he never asked Grandpa Lai for a single cent. Judging by the current trend, the price of the Rejuvenation Pill at the auction will definitely be able to break through 10 billion US dollars. And someone who can casually give away something worth 10 billion US dollars doesn't look like a profiteer no matter how you look at it..."

Subsequently, Fei Kexin continued, "He is now trying every possible way to ask for money from you, at most about 10 million RMB per person. Even if you count all 200 people, it's only 2 billion RMB, which converts to a little over 300 million US dollars, not even one-thirtieth of the actual value of the Rejuvenation Pill. So I estimate he just wants to make things difficult for you on purpose and kill your arrogance."

Fei Jianzhong hesitated slightly and said with some agreement, "Your analysis is also reasonable. After all, the Rejuvenation Pill is priceless. Don't look at how I've received quite a few favors from your Grandpa Lai; even if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give something worth 10 billion US dollars to your Grandpa Lai."

Fei Kexin smiled slightly and comforted, "So Grandfather, you don't need to have too many negative emotions. You must try to be low-key and humble at Bai Jinhangong and never have any disputes with their staff. As for my side, everything seems to be progressing relatively smoothly at the moment, and the results are worth looking forward to."

"Good!" Fei Jianzhong felt much more comfortable and said with a smile, "Kexin, it seems you have also made great progress during this period. Your personality in the past wasn't as low-key and steady as it is now."

Fei Kexin smiled and said earnestly, "Grandfather, when I first came to China, I still had a very strong sense of superiority, always feeling that everything could be planned and managed. But it wasn't until I came to Jin Ling that I knew what it meant to have people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens! The truly strong often hide in the marketplace, not revealing even half a point in normal times, so one must remain low-key and humble at all times."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's just a pity that I understood this truth a little too late. If I could have known earlier, Mr. Luo might not have gone missing..."

Fei Jianzhong remembered the missing Luo Jiacheng and couldn't help but sigh lightly, saying, "I have already given Mr. Luo's family 100 million US dollars in settlement money. If I can't find his whereabouts, I will give his family another large sum of money so that they won't have any worries for the rest of their lives."

Fei Kexin said, "That's all we can do for now."

After saying that, she checked the time and said, "Grandfather, you should rest well in the hotel first. I will continue to mediate outside for these two days. After the auction ends, no matter the result, I will find a way to arrange for you to meet that Master Ye."

"Good!" Fei Jianzhong said, "Call me if there's anything, but I estimate that they won't let us bring mobile phones on the day of the auction. If there's any situation, we'll wait until the auction is over."

"Okay."

At the same time, Chen Zekai made a detailed report to Ye Chen, telling him, "Young Master, currently all the applicants participating in the auction have moved into Bai Jinhangong without exception. In addition, the 20 candidates ranked 201 to 220 will arrive in Jin Ling one after another tomorrow."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and instructed, "Don't collect any accommodation-related fees from these candidates anymore. They will likely just be accompanying the run, and by then, they probably won't even have the qualifications to enter the venue."

"Okay, Young Master." Chen Zekai responded and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, are we just going to let them make a wasted trip? Many people came from overseas, and it's quite hard for them to toss and turn from so far away."

Ye Chen pondered slightly for a moment and said, "How about this: if they ultimately don't have the opportunity to replace others, arrange for them to pass the security check and enter the venue to watch on the day of the auction. However, they can only watch and cannot raise their paddles to participate in the auction. Let them also have the opportunity to witness the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill. After all, many of these people are aiming for this."

Due to the flocking of these wealthy people, Ye Chen also became increasingly expectant about this auction.

He didn't know now what kind of price the Rejuvenation Pill would be able to fetch after his series of hype.

But there was one thing he was very clear about: as long as he let those wealthy people see with their own eyes the effect of others taking the Rejuvenation Pill on the spot at this auction, every one of them would erupt with enthusiasm for the Rejuvenation Pill ten thousand times stronger than it was now.

Because until now, the vast majority of the top wealthy people participating in the auction only knew about the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill from hearing others talk about it; they hadn't had the opportunity to witness the magic of the Rejuvenation with their own eyes.

Many people knew that their assets might only be barely at the bottom among these 200 people, but they still sharpened their heads to want to participate in the auction, just to see with their own eyes how magical this Rejuvenation Pill really was.

Therefore, this auction would surely shake the entire upper class.

And after this auction, the Rejuvenation Pill would be the most precious and sought-after thing in the entire upper class, bar none.

By then, Ye Chen would also be able to let the Rejuvenation Pill in his hands exert its maximum value.

The Rejuvenation Pill in his hands was enough to let the Ye family take another step closer to the pinnacle of the world.

Chen Zekai also felt that this solution of Ye Chen's was very humanized, so he immediately said, "Then I'll have people arrange 20 chairs in the last row, specifically setting up a viewing area, and gather them all there to watch."

"Good." Ye Chen nodded lightly and asked, "Has the Old Master arrived in Jin Ling?"

Chen Zekai knew that the Old Master he was talking about must be his grandfather, Ye Zhongquan, so he hurriedly said, "The Old Master has already arrived. I arranged for him to stay in the executive building, but on a separate floor from the other two distinguished guests."

Ye Chen asked him, "Have Old Mr. Lai and the former Empress of Northern Europe also arrived?"

Chen Zekai nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master, they have all arrived."

Ye Chen then said, "Help me call Old Mr. Lai's room and ask if it's convenient for him. If it is, I'll go over and pay a visit." ===== CHAPTER 1909 =====
