“Miss Qin, our bank has sufficient funds to purchase one hundred tons. Why can’t we buy it? There has been no restriction from the beginning that we can’t buy one hundred tons, has there?”
Hearing these words, Qin Rubing did not become angry, but instead spoke thoughtfully for the foreign gentlemen, “However, if you purchase it all, there won’t be any gold left!”
As she spoke, she paused to ponder, then said, “Here’s what we’ll do, my foreign friends. Mr. Luo said he’ll return to Mount Changbai to search. If there’s more gold, we’ll sell it exclusively to you, our foreign friends!”
“Is that so? That’s fantastic!”
Just as a foreign gentleman had finished speaking, a friend slapped him on the shoulder, “You fool, there’s no gold left in Mount Changbai. This auction lady, she’s playing us! No, it’s Luo Feng playing us!”
“Playing us?”
“Do you really think they’d be so kind as to specifically mine it for us? What wishful thinking!”
“This time, it seems their gold was agreed upon to be sold to their local market!”
Five hundred tons of gold.
Ultimately, under the enormous purchase of one hundred tons by the Industrial and Commercial Bank, it had finally sold out.
The major foreign banks had assumed that with such a large quantity of gold, even if Luo Feng wanted to sell it domestically, the local market wouldn’t be able to consume it all.
But they had underestimated the strength of these local banks.
They were determined to purchase all the gold, at all costs.
They were not allowing any for the foreigners to purchase them.
Truth be told, such unity impressed Luo Feng.
Let alone this five hundred tons of gold.
Even if it were a thousand tons, given the momentum of that day, they would have been able to digest it all.
After all, in antique auctions, any item less than a first-class cultural relic could be sold overseas.
Therefore, they were not worried about the initial auction of the antiques.
But this gold, if you want to sell it, it’s impossible not to sell to the foreign gentlemen, right?
Otherwise, it would be discrimination.
Clearly, what Luo Feng had done was not refusing to sell, but rather setting them aside first.
And when it was finally sold out, well, it couldn’t be helped.
“Fantastic, our domestic market really stepped up!”
“I think they must have agreed on this in advance, calling out their bids collectively!”
“Yes, in this way, Qin Rubing could record their quantities and make the foreigners wait their turn!”
“However, while they were waiting, all the gold was sold out!”
On Luo Feng’s side, he looked at the barrage of comments online.
Most were praising the unity of the domestic market, and he naturally nodded in agreement.
But soon after.
A Wall Street investment banker came forward, “Mr. Luo, we want to purchase sixty tons of gold at a price of 550 yuan per gram. Since your gold has not yet been traded, could each bank sell a little less and spare sixty tons for us?”
Since the gold had sold out.
The only option was to privately raise the price.
To convince Luo Feng to negotiate with the banks and scrape together sixty tons.
“Hehe, the price is quite nice, isn’t it?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng laughed, for had it been a cunning businessman in his place,
They would certainly have negotiated with the other banks.
After all, it’s my gold, and even if I chose not to sell any of it, what could you say?
Excluding sixty tons for them wouldn’t have been an issue, considering that their price is considerably higher. However, when dealing with Luo Feng, it was simply out of the question.
“I’m sorry,” Luo Feng shook his head, “but I must consider my reputation. It would be unfair to expect everyone to forfeit a portion of their purchases.”
If they were offering seven to eight hundred yuan per ton, he would have been agreeable, even willing to sell to foreign buyers. But at an increased price of just fifty yuan per gram, Luo Feng certainly would not comply.
Following the completion of the gold sale, Luo Feng left the hotel and returned home, deciding to rest for a few days before revisiting Mount Changbai. While gold was unlikely to be found, there might be a good amount of leftover munitions in the many military forts left behind from the old days.
But, this time, Luo Feng intended to rest for more days than usual. An exceptionally beautiful woman, Qin Rubing, whose legs seemed as if they were designed in an animation studio, had agreed to keep him company. According to online commenters, her legs were the type that could keep one in bed for a year. The couple spent a memorable day in a lovers’ hotel.
“Rubing, how is it? Isn’t it wonderful?” he asked.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have given in sooner!” she admitted.
“Indeed, this is one of the most wonderful experiences in life. But you should know, it wouldn’t be this good with just anyone,” he added.
“Really? How would I know? It’s not like I’ve ever been with other people. Even if you’re lying to me, I wouldn’t know!” she countered.
Qin Rubing was not naive; she understood that men tend to boast about their abilities.
“I don’t believe you? If it were any other man, they would rush headlong without any concern for your comfort. To gradually increase the intensity, taking their time?” Luo Feng replied defensively.
He had a knack for treating women tenderly. At her peak, it would be like a highway journey. It would be surprising if she didn’t enjoy the experience.
“Giggling, I’m only teasing you!” she admitted.
“As a punishment, how about you do this for me?”
Upon hearing his request, Qin Rubing blushed but after some persuasion, Luo Feng found himself sprawled in satisfaction, watching a kneeling Qin Rubing. Finally, he had his wish fulfilled.
The week went by swiftly. Luo Feng, alternating between two warm beds, felt as though his bones were turning to mush. On the seventh day, he informed everyone that he would be heading back to Mount Changbai with the rich second-generation heirs and three beautiful women.
Everyone noticed that Qin Rubing was becoming increasingly radiant. The unseasoned ones couldn’t discern the reason, but the veterans knew. She was a woman thoroughly loved, and it showed.
Once they reached Mount Changbai, Luo Feng ordered his tech team to start the live stream, “Tell everyone that I, Old Luo, am back!” Treasure hunting was not yet over, not even after unearthing the billion-yuan worth of gold. Luo Feng now sought treasures not for monetary gain. Authorities knew that he wanted to retrieve all the underground treasures and offer them to the nation. Of course, they would be sold, but at a reasonable price..
