Chapter 42: Overnight Wealth

  Ten minutes later, at 0:17, Xue Hu and He Ming rushed down the car in a hurry, with He Ming already wearing a loose-fitting swimsuit prepared by Xue Hu.

  He Ming got off the car and was immediately shocked. This construction site had been temporarily taken over by the military, and there were hundreds of men waiting for him, wearing military uniforms that looked strange and laughable. Each person had a bag next to them, and it was obvious what was inside - apart from Viagra, what else could it be?

  "What's going on? So many people? Where are my three team members?"

  Xue Hu tore off his upper garment while shouting: "Start acting, follow the original training!"

  At once all the soldiers took off their shirts and began to learn how He Ming was lying on the ground. Xue Hu also lay down, pointing to a place and saying: "You three team members are over there!"

  He Ming looked back and saw three people kowtowing. As a result, they all kowtowed to him in unison. He Ming was so overwhelmed with emotion that he couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time, and returned a bow.

  Xue Hu continued, "The news really spread, especially exaggerated, almost all the high-level leaders knew about it, including all the military commanders above the level of the eight major military regions. As a result, they all asked to send their best soldiers to learn the Frog Art. And here they are."

  He Ming usually eats sweets, opens a bottle of Viagra and swallows it all, then drinks three bottles of fly water, and says: "No way? The confidentiality agreement didn't work?"

  "We were all comrades-in-arms, but today you suddenly became a superhero. Do you still want to cover up the past? Commander Wang was an old man who suddenly became ***, how can he explain it? Did he receive a hundred years of power from a superior being?"

  Upon hearing this answer, He Ming bitterly smiled and said: "But why learn from me? There are many successful people already, like Wang Feng, the commander-in-chief. Your elder brother has also succeeded."

  Xue Hu also swallowed Weige, feeling the little brother's instant resurrection, and said: "The success of the Frog Art is hard to understand and cannot be explained by science. However, experts have found that people who learn with you are more likely to succeed, and the effect is better. Yesterday, Hou Feng succeeded, but others, such as Ying Jun, Big Brother, Wang Feng, Commander-in-Chief, and many other elites did not succeed. What does this mean? Your croaking sound is just like the Frog King, experts think that learning from you makes it easy to grasp the true words. That's the result!"

  Xue Hu just spoke, He Ming let out a loud cry, and had an internal elixir. He felt that his ability to absorb mysterious powers had increased even more. No wonder those with spiritual qualities like Hu Bo Sen and Hou Feng succeeded so easily. It turned out that He Ming's innate talent was only average, not comparable to Hu Bo Sen and Hou Feng's. But now, he had a powerful spirit trait, and could easily surpass them.

  So, in the eyes of Xue Hu who was familiar with He Ming, as well as hundreds of elite soldiers who were not familiar with him, He Ming's prone position was filled with an inexplicable and mysterious aura, like a living human-shaped frog.

  The visible moonlight all converged on his head, and his bare upper body back, burning in the abdomen, rushed up along the spine, the whole process, visible to the naked eye, full of mysterious beauty.

  He Ming's majestic body shook like a wave, and the quacking sound from his mouth was more than twice as loud as yesterday.

  With just this one shout, special agent Zhou Feng revealed a look of wild joy and loudly exclaimed: "I also know!" He too let out a loud whoop, though it was far inferior to He Ming's. Nevertheless, his expression was wildly joyful, unable to contain himself.

  Xue Hu was speechless and said: "You little devil is going to become a spirit, can you break through the void?"

  He Mingdao said: "Huang Yi's still watching? Outdated, should watch online."

  He Ming felt that he had formed an inner elixir, and his strength had increased by more than double. Not to mention physical strength, body quality, etc., just the absorption of the entire mysterious power was like being able to drink a bowl of water yesterday, but today he could drink a basin of water.

  Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Under the influence of He Ming's loud hiss, Murong Ying and three elite warriors also suddenly let out a hiss.

  Xue Hu felt that He Ming had undergone an unusual change. On the bus, he asked He Ming, "How did your eyes become so bright?"

  He Ming suddenly boasted that his toad skills had improved, Xue Hu was skeptical, but now He Ming's toad skills were indeed different from yesterday, full of a kind of spirituality, as if the kung fu had been practiced to a deep place, with a beauty beyond the ordinary.

  There were also several observing experts, their assistants, and 2 cameras recording the process of He Ming's cultivation, deeply feeling that it was indeed a rare achievement.

  During his cultivation, He Ming's phone rang. He took it out and Ying Qun said on the phone: "Four pieces of Ge Kiln, priced at 6.54 million, 6.77 million, 6.82 million, and 12.13 million, totaling 32.26 million. The last piece is extremely beautiful, almost flawless, so everyone is competing fiercely."

  He Ming laughed and said: "Great, keep filming. That sword is really too good, don't sell it for less than 50 million. Call me anytime."

  Ying Qun heard the noise from this side and smiled: "Alright, you guys practice your skills. Hehe, sister-in-law even asked me what medicine big brother took to become like that..."

  Yingqun hung up the phone, and He Ming couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking that later they might play a game of three-player mode, feeling truly delighted.

  In the thirty minutes of cultivation, Ying Qun kept calling, and three pieces of Tang Sancai were sold for 45.5 million. The last piece of Tang Sancai was in perfect condition with a majestic shape, so it was auctioned off at a sky-high price of 500 million. Upon hearing this number, He Ming kept asking repeatedly before he believed the result.

  Immediately following, the emerald ring and sapphire necklace also started a fierce competition. The two blue light jewels were both large and exquisitely crafted. The former was auctioned off for 65 million, while the latter was auctioned off for 150 million. Both were bought by Lin Ban and presented to his wife on the spot.

  After another 7 or 8 minutes, Ying Qun continued to call and said that the pink and green jade seal had also been sold for 70 million. The six pieces of Ming dynasty porcelain were all well-preserved and rare masterpieces, selling for 81 million. Among them, a Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain was an extreme treasure, selling for 220 million.

  This leaves only seven jade scepters and that Yongle imperial sword.

  As expected, He Ming continued to cultivate and enjoy getting stronger while calculating how much money he would get today. Suddenly, Ying Qun called him, the seven Jade Ruyi had been sold for 45 million, with the best one selling for 30 million, and the other six for 15 million each. The Royal Treasure Sword expert believed it was a Jue Chen Hu Ge sword, with the highest bid being 125 million.

  "Not for sale!" He Ming refused, that treasured sword was so good, he wasn't willing to sell it.

  And so today's auction has come to an end. Ying Qun said, "Everyone is quite satisfied, they are all genuine goods, good stuff. If there were no more good items, then today's auction would have ended here?"

  "What about the cursive script of Huaisu from the Tang Dynasty?" He Ming said lightly, and as soon as he spoke, he heard Yingqun's exclamation. Yingqun whispered: "How did you get this? Is it real? I estimate that all the exhibits today are not as good as Huaisu's calligraphy! Hurry back, I'll make an announcement!"

  Ying Qun announced the news, He Ming could hear the noise on the other end of the phone, he hung up and continued to cultivate, but the warriors who had reached their limit had already ended, in this process, three more warriors succeeded, including Murong Ying, Zhou Feng, a total of seven succeeded.

  Xue Hu was overjoyed and let out a long sigh, ending his cultivation. He said, "Looks like you've made quite a bit of money, huh!"

  He Ming calculated in his heart, the opening price of the red jade seal was 250 million. The Lin Ban patterned vase came out with eight official seals and a tiger seal, totaling 37.2 million. Four pieces of Ge kiln porcelain totaled 322.6 million. Four pieces of Tang Sancai were 54.55 million. A grandmother green ring was 65 million, a gemstone necklace was 150 million. The Bi Xi was 70 million. Six pieces of Ming dynasty porcelain were 301 million. Seven jade Ruyi were 45 million.

  So 2500 + 372 + 3226 + 5455 + 650 + 1500 + 700 + 3010 + 450 = 17,863.

  He Ming opened his mobile phone to check the bank deposit, and compared it with the calculation result in his mind. Indeed, haha, 17,863,000 yuan had been deposited, not including the Yongle Sword, Huaisu's calligraphy, three volumes of blue light book painting, and a box of rare books, among which there was blue light. Just now, he was preparing to take out Huaisu's calligraphy together, but unexpectedly, Xue Hu called him away.

  Hahaha.

  He Ming felt really cool with 170 million in his account!

  This time Xiāo Míng spent 37 minutes practicing, during which Zhōu Qíngyún called several times to ask, "Husband, when are you coming back?"

  He Ming said gently, "Go to sleep first, dear."

  Zhou Qingyun also said she would wait for him.

  He stood up and only then did He Ming realize a problem he hadn't considered earlier. When he still had to go back to auction off the calligraphy treasures, how was he going to deal with his huge belly?

  But when people are desperate, they always have a killer move. He Ming used a rope to tie his little brother up and put on a pair of pants with great difficulty, then wore an extra-large down jacket to cover the bulge.

  Xue Hu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and He Ming's three subordinates also secretly smiled.

  "Fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, does it make sense? Look at you all standing tall! Dismissed, I'll go first, see you tomorrow." He said, and He Ming gave a military salute, got back into the jeep, and the car quickly returned to the Treasure Building.

  When He Ming went out to practice the Toad Skill, Liu Xiaolian had already returned here. She saw He Ming coming back and came up to greet him, with several people including Liu Feng by her side.

  Liu Feng smiled and said, "He Ming, it's already past midnight, you're really busy. Here are your two pairs of icy green bangles, as well as the ring. The market price for the bangles is 15 million per pair, and 3 million per ring." As he spoke, he handed over two brocade boxes.

  He Ming took over, opened a brocade box, and inside the yellow silk was a pair of ice-green jadeite, with sufficient water content and fine workmanship. He put on his glasses and looked at it, and all he saw was blue light, indicating that it was genuine jadeite. It turned out to be made from his own blue-light jadeite.

  He Ming nodded in satisfaction, took out the small leather bag full of diamonds from his pocket and handed it over: "Wife, you and Liu Feng Ge wait here for a while, you and him take a look at the diamonds."

  Liu Xiaolong had been attracted by the emerald bangle and nodded repeatedly: "Husband, you go."

  Liu Feng took over a small bag of diamonds, what excitement! Estimated that in his lifetime, he had never taken so many diamonds at once. He hastily called the diamond master next to him to appraise the value.

  "Do you really have Huaisu's calligraphy?!"

  He Ming had just entered the reception room when several white-haired experts rushed up to him, asking excitedly.

  He Ming nodded and returned to his original place, took out the Huaisu calligraphy, three blue light paintings, and a box of rare books.

  But everyone was drawn in by Huaisu's wild cursive script, even He Ming, a calligraphy idiot, couldn't look away, thinking it was incredibly exquisite, although there were 76 characters, each one was different, simply transcendent and unparalleled. As a result, almost everyone on the scene held their breath, admiring one of the greatest wild cursive scripts in human history, perhaps even the greatest.

  He Ming took the opportunity to ask Ying Qun in a low voice: "Sister Ying, how much is this calligraphy worth?"

  Ying Qun stretched out a palm, and He Ming bitterly said: "Only 50 million?"

  "Five billion! You dare to bring out such a thing? This is a priceless treasure that can't be measured by money. You're lucky to have gotten it from your ancestors." Ying Qun rubbed He Ming's face and laughed: "Well, in that case, five billion, I'll take one billion as my share. Haha!"

  He Ming smiled and said: "As long as it's really sold for 500 million, that's fine! I won't sell it if it's less than 100 million."

  "No sooner had he finished speaking than a bespectacled man who was constantly on the phone and taking pictures of calligraphy with his camera shouted: '50 million!'"

  Ying Qundao: "The killing has begun, do you know this guy? He's the agent of Shanxi Chen Laoban from last time. Chen Laoban didn't have time to come over, so he sent someone from his Songjiang office. The one who just bid 50 million for that Tang Sancai was him."

  He Ming exclaimed: "I thought it was Lin Ban. What does Shanxi Lao Chen want to buy so many artworks for?"

  Ying Qun Dao: "Artworks and cultural relics are a business with extremely high returns and almost no losses. As long as you buy genuine items, the longer you hold them, the more valuable they become. So, you must only produce high-quality products to maintain your brand reputation, absolutely cannot produce fake products that would ruin your brand."

  "Hehe, I absolutely won't produce fake goods!"

  Two people talked, Huaisu calligraphy quickly broke 100 million, in just a few minutes, it has reached 300 million and 10 million.

  He Ming was shocked at first, but soon got used to it. Such a masterpiece must have its price increased.

  As a result, Lin Ban also took out his phone and started calling some people, saying something in a hurry. The atmosphere on the scene was very tense, and another ugly fat man shouted: "320 million!"

  Ying Qundao: "That fat guy surnamed Huang is the young master of a famous supermarket chain group, his family's assets are counted in tens of billions, and today he got the best possible Huaisu calligraphy."

  He Ming nodded and quietly observed the auction, Lin Ban raised the price to 400 million one mouthful at a time, Huang Gongzi raised the price to 430 million, at this time, Shanxi Chen's agent, Glasses Brother shouted: "200 million cash, plus a Spring of Fate five-star hotel! The hotel investment is 430 million, annual profit is 40 million! The land appreciation potential is huge!"

  Lin Ban laughed and said: "What are you talking about? A broken-down hotel from a few years ago is still worth 430 million yuan? Ridiculous! What do you think, He Ming?"

  He Ming asked Ying Qun. Ying Qun thought for a moment and said, "That hotel is not bad, it's huge in scale. Although the hotel industry has been sluggish in recent years, the land value alone is worth 300 million."

  He Ming nodded, because the land in this dynasty was half private and half state-owned, while the land under the hotel was all privately owned, so it would only get more expensive. He Ming said: "I agree with Mr. Chen's agent's offer, if there is no bid exceeding 630 million, then the Huaisu calligraphy will belong to Mr. Chen's agent!"

  Huang Gongzi talked on the phone for seven or eight minutes, shrugged his shoulders and gave up. Lin Ban was also talking on the phone at the same time, but later gave up under his wife's persuasion. 630 million is equivalent to $100 million, which would be a significant blow to Lin Ban's career, whose net worth is $1 billion. Therefore, the private transaction of Huaisu calligraphy for 630 million was successful.

  According to the country's tax laws, He Ming would have to pay 20% of his personal income in taxes, but since the transaction was private and unsupervised, He Ming planned to evade taxes.

  This sky-high transaction was completed and is bound to shock the industry. Afterwards, three other paintings and a box of rare books were sold for 32 million and 6.5 million respectively.

  In the past, it was an astronomical figure for He Ming, but now he has almost no feeling about it.

  According to Ying Qun's introduction, due to He Lin and Boss Chen already knowing each other, they couldn't split the money. So He Ming thought for a moment and separately gave Ying Qun 30 million yuan in gratitude, and Huang Xue-xiong 10 million yuan in gratitude, thanking them for their help tonight. The two were overjoyed.

  Then, Huang Xue-xiong's financial lawyer and Chen Laoban's representative went through the hotel transfer procedures at the hotel, signing contracts with each other. From that moment on, Chun Zhi Yuan Hotel belonged to He Ming, but it would take some time to process the registration.

  He Ming bid farewell to tonight's buyers one by one, thanked them, and exchanged contact information. He Ming sighed that he also needed to make business cards, high-end ones, because from today on, He Ming was also considered a big shot in the industry. Not just anyone could take out so many good items in one transaction, all of which were genuine, including Huaisu's calligraphy.

  Tonight's transaction amount will be transferred to He Ming's bank account, totaling 178.63 million + 20,000 + 385 = 38.248 million, and then transfer 40 million in handling fees, which is equal to 34.248 million.

  He Ming originally had 320 million in the bank + withdrew 10 million, leaving 310 million. Now it has become a total of 373.48 million. Of course, there is also a Chun Zhiyuan Hotel.

  Haha, He Ming and Ying Qun said their goodbyes, it was already past 1:30. They came downstairs to the guest room, where Liu Feng and others had finished appraising the diamonds.

  Seeing He Ming come down with a smile all over his face, he hastily said: "He Ming, these diamonds are all primary processed and need to be cut. There are 134 grains in total, weighing 567 carats. Worth a fortune!"

  Liu Feng continued: "The largest one is this grain, with 8 carats. After cutting, it can reach 4 or 5 carats. It's possible to get 6 carats. Among the 13 grains, all are above 5 carats. At that time, you can get 2 carats or 3 carats of rough diamonds. You now have three ways to deal with them: First, sell them to me; Second, entrust my company to cut them all, and then calculate the cost. If you sell them to me, it's also okay. All diamonds above 5 carats must be sent abroad for cutting within a month. Third, you can sell me the diamonds below 5 carats, and I will take care of sending the 13 grains of 5-carat diamonds and the 8-carat diamond abroad for cutting."

  He Ming thought for a moment and chose the third option. The big diamond would eventually be made into a ring for his own person, and the small diamond would be sold to Liu Feng.

  Liu Feng smiled and said, "As for the value of 120 carats of diamonds, we have also calculated a reasonable price. Because we need to do further cutting, bear risks, and there are many bad cuts, so the flat price is 500 million. Of course, I know it's a bit low, but it's not a rough diamond, and it's really hard to calculate the price."

  He Ming laughed and said: "Deal, Liu Dage is indeed straightforward! I've heard of the Eight Heart Eight Arrow diamond, I'll commission these diamonds to use this technique."

  Liu Feng bitterly smiled and said: "What a joke, this kind of technique is hard to come by. Just rely on luck."

  The two signed a contract and He Ming got another 50 million. Today's matter finally came to an end.

  On the way to Zhou Qingyun's home, Liu Xiaolian heard that there was no jade bangle for her, and she couldn't help but slap He Ming, saying: "You scoundrel! Have you ever thought about whether I exist or not?"

  He Ming settled her with just one sentence: "The diamond cut by the trustee, you choose half of it, tomorrow I'll take your sister to sweep the goods and buy you a million-level jewelry!"

  "Husband, you're so good." As soon as she said that, Liu Xiaolian snuggled into He Ming's arms and took the opportunity to touch his abs. She had fallen in love with them since seeing them yesterday afternoon and had gotten into the habit of touching them frequently.

  He Ming cried and laughed, saying in a low voice: "Didn't I tell you about the divine work?"

  After finishing speaking, He Ming glanced at his watch, 1:43, and his stomach was already growling. Oh my god, I'm really busy like a dog, He Ming thought, but a happy dog. Today I really became rich overnight. Even in Shanghai Songjiang, I have a five-star hotel now. Just a few days ago, I was still a worthless poor kid!
