I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 888 - 977: You Look Down on Us Huaxia People, and Only Bring Out These Worthless Trinkets?
Who is that! Saying something so discouraging, don’t you know that’s jinxing it!
Mama Has cursed inwardly, wishing he could slap the person. If a robbery really happened, as the organizer, how much would he have to lose and how many messes to clean up?
Moreover, those fat guys at the United Nations who only think with their asses would just point fingers at him, blaming him for not organizing the exchange event properly, and it’s possible he might even be made the scapegoat.
Mama Has’s previously gloomy face lit up immediately upon seeing who spoke—oh, it’s Miss Zhou!
He quickly stepped over to Jing Shu and Old Zhou, smiling obsequiously: "Oh, my dear little princess, don’t worry. I prepared for this banquet for a whole day.
I not only arranged interpreters from several countries for you but also called in all the armed forces around,
Look, everyone is following our embassy’s bodyguards. If you’re afraid of danger, although I can’t arrange more bodyguards for you, I can arrange over twenty more people here to help carry your things."
Mama Has gestured, and bodyguards armed to the teeth with shields came over, surrounding people in a vigilant stance.
Mama Has didn’t climb to his position because he was stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart. He understood that these Huaxia people were his golden goose. Protecting the golden goose would ensure he had more stuff, so nothing can happen to the golden goose.
And such a foolish and spendthrift golden goose needs even more protection.
Mama Has continued: "Rest assured, not only is the exchange venue safe, but the outside arrangements are also extensive. I’ve also deployed the army outside, ensuring your safety."
"I hope so." Jing Shu stretched her noble swan neck, lifted her head, and walked away.
Old Zhou patted Mama Has on the shoulder, exerting a bit of force, speaking ambiguously: "Well done." Really came to give us trouble.
But it’s not a big issue, as Jing Shu also wanted to see whether those hungry wolves would dare approach under such security.
The exchange event soon started.
Indeed, Mama Has arranged for some wealthy locals to bring out their collections from home, intending to flaunt and let the Huaxia people see who is synonymous with luxury in the Middle East.
So these items are priced extremely high, but in reality, they have no practical value.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this exhibit belongs to Mr. Erte Baudel. A bracelet consisting of over a thousand rare yellow and pink diamonds, along with over 20 grams of rare pear-shaped diamonds, valued over fifty million US Dollars before the apocalypse, exchanged for equivalent valued materials."
No surprise, it was unsold. Erte glanced several times in the direction of Jing Shu; he specifically brought out this collection hoping that this big spender would exchange for it, but there was no reaction.
Subsequently, Mama Has brought out a few similar collections, each valued at tens of millions or even billions of US Dollars before the apocalypse, but now, people aren’t foolish enough to exchange such expensive materials for useless jewelry.
Finally, someone couldn’t hold back.
When the last piece of jewelry came up, Mr. Erte introduced it himself: "This is my proudest collection, a Graff pink diamond, a 30-carat emerald-cut pink diamond, flawless, valued at several hundred million US Dollars before the apocalypse, is anyone interested?"
Gasps of amazement were heard—such a large natural pink diamond is very rare, and even rarer is a flawless one.
Today, those present have seen what wealth means in the Middle East.
Members of Jingshu’s Bodyguard Team clicked their tongues in disapproval, just hearing about how much money was spent buying these things before the apocalypse; they thought, these people must be crazy, rich people indeed don’t regard money as money, it’s the apocalypse, yet you want to exchange these things for equivalent valued materials? Daydreaming.
Some liked it, but no one bid.
Erte said to Mama Has: "Dear sir, you said there would be super-rich individuals interested in these today, so I brought this precious item here at great risk.
Even if it’s the apocalypse now, these are definitely worth several million dollars in oil, but now it seems, no one dares bid, so you’re bluffing, aren’t you?
No one here can afford it.
Especially some people who spread rumors of their wealth, can’t actually buy anything, can they?"
The target of these words was fairly obvious; many people looked over, curious to see how the Huaxia fat sheep would respond to this matter.
Would they be provoked and buy everything in a sweep, or would they remain silent?
The interpreter next to Jing Shu finished speaking, and everyone in the bodyguard team looked grim.
Nannan gloated, serves them right, now that they can’t afford the jewelry, they’ve been mocked.
Mama Has felt some embarrassment; he intended to fleece these big spenders while showing off to the Huaxia people, but fleecing them this way wouldn’t work, nobody would want such overpriced items.
Next second, Miss Zhou, unprovoked, stepped forward, her face looking displeased as her servant behind her struggled to keep up holding her gown.
Jing Shu stepped forward, picked up the microphone, and spoke to Mama Has and everyone below in Huaxia language:
"Dear sir, I thought you said this exchange event would have something good, but turns out you’re showing me these worthless items? I already said, if something catches my eye, why stop at equal value, I’d pay several times more? Material goods? That’s nothing to me.
Do they look down on us Huaxia people or are they questioning our resources? Trying to fool us with these little things? Please translate this for them."
With that, she raised her head defiantly.
Nannan, behind her, was utterly shocked: Jing Shu has gone mad, uttering such arrogant words!
In reality, many people, knowing the Huaxia Team was coming today, had brought Huaxia language translators, and upon hearing this, some smirked with amusement, some sneered, and others showed greedy eyes—how much resources do these Huaxia people actually have?
Especially Mr. Erte, who said on the side: "The Huaxia lady is speaking big words, isn’t she? Not interested in these things? Perhaps she can’t afford to buy them? You must know my collections are unique!"
Jing Shu sneered with disdain, as she took out from an unremarkable large cloth bag on stage an ultra-thick all-diamond watch,
"Your lousy necklace has only a few diamonds; my watch has thousands of large diamonds with a dial made of over thirty-carat diamonds, what did I say? That I’d be interested in your junk?"
