Chapter 59 Las Vegas Newspaper
The only drawback is that Flash Assault must have a target for the spell to be cast, it cannot be cast in any direction, and thus does not qualify as true instant movement.
The depths of the ancient tomb nine also left a deep impression on Zhou Jian. Indeed, as the rumors said, it got colder and colder as one went down, especially since the falling speed was very fast, the cold wind blew like a knife, making people feel that their souls were about to be blown out of their bodies. No wonder the people who jumped off the cliff before would be frozen unconscious.
Will there be any secrets under the ancient tomb nine? Or is it just a system setting? Unfortunately, no one can fly now, but even if they master the flying technique, it's hard to resist such coldness. The key is that no one knows how deep the abyss of the ancient tomb nine is.
At this time, Zhou Jian received a message, opened it and saw that it was written: "Kid, you have guts."
Liu Shui had already been blacklisted by Zhou Jian, this message was sent by that thief killer, Zhou Jian smiled and also blacklisted him, then went offline to sleep.
This sleep was very sweet, the next day, under Linda's reluctant farewell, Zhou Jian took a plane back to Hong Kong Island, this time coming and going, Zhou Jian had become a millionaire.
He plans to use this money to buy stocks. It's a hassle to transfer a sum of money with unclear origins from an underground bank in the US to a domestic bank. Fortunately, Cloud Tower Corporation is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and Citibank has set up Citibank (Hong Kong) Limited on the island. The Bounty Hunter Underground Bank is also a strategic partner of Citibank, so it's not too difficult to solve this problem after all. After all, Zhou Jian gave the Bounty Hunter Bank a 20% concession, so they should help resolve the issue of the source of this money.
With the help of underground banks, this money became the gambling capital won by Zhou Jian in Las Vegas casinos.
"Chu sister, I want to buy another batch of Yuntai company's stock." Zhou Jian had just gotten off the plane and called Chu Qingyun. Two or three hundred million shares, it was better to give Chu Qingyun a heads up.
"Hmm, you've got money again? How much are you planning to eat?"
"Uh... two hundred million, I suppose." Zhou Jian hesitated for a moment before deciding to leave one hundred million behind. This way, he would be safer; even if YunTai Company encountered any unexpected events, he could still start anew.
"Two... two hundred million?" Chu Qingyun took a deep breath, Cloud Platform's market value was just over a billion, and two hundred million would be enough to cause a stir in the stock market. "You went on a trip to Las Vegas and got two hundred million? You're not telling me you won it back at the casino, are you?"
"Hmm..." Zhou Jian was at a loss for words when Chu Qingyun said, "I'm just casually asking, if you trust me, Sister Chu, I can help you deal with these 200 million and try not to cause any shock in the stock market. Since I haven't publicly announced that our new drug is about to be put into production, the stock price has been rising slowly, and most shareholders are still taking a wait-and-see attitude."
Chu Qingyun has also been raising funds to buy back stocks in recent days, but it's almost impossible for Yuntai Company, which is heavily indebted, to get a bank loan. So she can only raise funds through personal relationships and advance payments from distributors, barely scraping together 5 million yuan so far. Zhou Jian suddenly coming up with 20 million yuan has left her stunned, but she doesn't think it's unbelievable - after all, with Zhou Jian's skills, earning 20 million yuan by taking on a task from the Bounty Hunters Association is not unusual.
"No matter if you listen or not, I have to tell you, being a bounty hunter is a very dangerous profession. I know you're skilled, but one can't always stay dry when standing by the river. This time, adding up to your previous task, you've already earned 25 million. With this money in Cloud Top Company, I won't say anything else, it's definitely possible to double it within a year. In the future, relying on interest alone will make life very comfortable. Listen to my advice, do less of this line of work if you can."
Zhou Jian felt a warmth in his heart as he sensed Chu Qingyun's concern in her words. "Got it, Sister Chu."
"Uh, come back early, be careful on Hong Kong Island, that's Sun De Guang's territory." Chu Qingyun reminded a few words and hung up the phone. Not long after, the phone rang again, it was her good friend Linda calling from the US.
"Dear Chu, still busy with your business?"
"Haha, I'm not like you, your dad is a big shot in the mafia, I have to make a living on my own."
"Chu, if you say that again I'll get angry, I've been living with mom since I was 12 years old."
"Ah, sorry, I didn't know that." Chu Qingyun hastily apologized. She had previously only known that Linda's father was a member of the American mafia, but she hadn't known what her relationship with her father was like.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not bothered about my parents' divorce either. I just don't like it when others misunderstand that I've reached where I am today because of my father." Americans are very independent, and children often leave their parents to live independently after the age of 18. Moreover, they consider it shameful to still be spending their parents' money even if their family is wealthy.
"Your Huaxia hero, I have returned to Zhao perfectly, absolutely perfect return to Zhao oh, haha my idiom is used quite well, right?"
"Hmm... indeed, you can be my teacher in the history of Huaxia." Chu Qingyun felt a bit sweaty, why did she feel that Linda's words had an underlying tone...
"By the way, search online for Las Vegas News, you'll be surprised." Linda said with a sly tone and then hung up the phone.
Chu Qingyun smiled and shook her head, opening the computer to enter the Nevada Times website, clicking into Las Vegas news, and seeing the front-page photo was actually - Zhou Jian.
The photo shows Zhou Jian punching, with a group of astonished Americans in the background. This photo was captured by the camera installed on the testing machine just before it was destroyed when Zhou Jian punched and broke the attacking force testing machine.
Of course, due to the angle, there are no fragments of the test machine in the photo, otherwise it would be even more shocking.
Although it's a static photo, it fully reveals the sense of power and speed that Zhou Jian burst out at that moment. To describe it with a fashionable phrase from two hundred years ago, the Zhou Jian in the photo has a very majestic aura.
The title next to the photo was written in bold, bright capital letters - "The Mysterious Young Man from the East and His Powerful Chinese Kung Fu". At that moment, Chu Qingyun felt a sudden heartbeat. She involuntarily looked down, reading about how the Bounty Hunters Association, American bounty hunters, and Japanese samurai had made a bet and were in a stalemate. Then it wrote about Zhou Jian being drawn into it because of national and ethnic honor, getting into a dispute with two Japanese samurai, and finally, Zhou Jian's one punch resulted in a dazzling explosion, knocking down the two Japanese samurai.
The entire report uses continuous hyperbole and exclamatory sentences to describe the whole process of Zhou Jian's mighty outburst, lavishly praising his patriotic sentiments and hailing him as a pride of the Chinese people.
