Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1355 - 1357: Dumped
Although Lu Xiaobu’s order was crazy, the Lu Group still faithfully carried out his command!
Ordered from South Africa, fifty billion in minerals!
And it’s not a single type of mineral, but almost all the rare minerals South Africa owns, they want everything!
Once this news spread, the entire world was dumbfounded!
America was dumbfounded.
"What’s going on?! Fifty billion worth of minerals, what is Lu Xiaobu up to?!"
"Oh my God! South Africa’s annual export volume is only so much! And he suddenly placed an order for fifty billion! Is he trying to disrupt the mineral industry?!"
"That’s not right! Even if he’s trying to disrupt the mineral industry, this isn’t how it’s done! The shipping distance between South Africa and the Heavenly Dynasty could kill him with logistics alone!"
...
The Japanese were dumbfounded.
"Fifty billion in minerals, how much is that! I remember last year, our country imported only 240 billion of iron ore, not even mentioning rare minerals! And he placed an order twice that size?"
"Lu Xiaobu’s method is too baffling! He could’ve placed the order in Asia! Why insist on ordering from far-off South Africa?!"
"Exactly! With such a large quantity, the transportation costs alone must be astronomical!"
...
The people in the Heavenly Dynasty were also dumbfounded!
"What’s Young Master Bu up to?! Fifty billion worth of minerals? What are they for?"
"Exactly! Haven’t heard of Lu Group starting any big projects lately! Are these minerals going to be bought and just stored there?!"
"It’s a bit strange! Very strange!"
...
Even South Africa was dumbfounded!
"Fifty billion in minerals? My goodness! That’s an enormous quantity!"
"Why would a private company need so many minerals?!"
"It’s a bit strange! Specifically ordering from South Africa?!"
..."
The whole world was a bit muddled by Lu Xiaobu’s actions.
The key is, this move is really unnecessary!
If you have any brain, you wouldn’t make such a decision!
Firstly, if you need minerals, Asia isn’t short of supply! Why go through such trouble to ship them to the Heavenly Dynasty?
Secondly, the quantity is too large, if you suddenly don’t want them, the breach of contract alone would be quite a headache!
Really don’t know what Lu Xiaobu is thinking.
...
Despite the world’s bewilderment, the cooperation between Li Qiang and Shen Yu in South Africa allowed the first shipment of minerals to set sail smoothly.
This first shipment was amazing, containing only the most precious minerals, including Sanyo, platinum mines, gold mines, and diamond mines.
Lu Xiaobu was also on the ship, and Shen Yu accompanied aboard.
"Young Master Lu, where are we shipping to?" Shen Yu asked against the sea breeze.
It’s a bit strange, the destination should’ve been set before departure.
However, with Young Master Lu, it’s different, the ship has set sail, yet the captain doesn’t know which direction to go.
"Go that way." Lu Xiaobu casually pointed in a direction.
"What?!"
The employees on the ship all looked baffled.
"That way?!" The captain was stunned: "That’s towards Australia. Do you really want to go that way?"
"Yes, that’s right, just go." Lu Xiaobu nodded.
"I! This!"
The captain felt doomed, ordering minerals from South Africa, then shipping them to Australia?!
This is something only someone with a twisted mind would do!
"Just go." Shen Yu chuckled bitterly, not knowing Young Master Lu’s intentions.
Anyway, the man has money, is willful, even if he dumps them into the sea, you’ve got nothing to say!
So, after about an hour.
"Okay, stop!" Lu Xiaobu looked around and felt it was about right.
"What’s up? Need to change direction?"
Shen Yu quickly asked.
"No." Lu Xiaobu shook his head, climbed down the ladder next to the freighter and stood on a small boat.
"What’s he up to?" The captain looked baffled at Shen Yu.
"You ask me, I don’t know either." Shen Yu also smiled bitterly.
"Um, is his brain alright?" The captain asked in a low voice: "Ordering minerals from South Africa then shipping them to another mineral-rich place—Australia? Is this something a normal person does?"
"Lower your voice, I think it’s weird too!" Shen Yu shook his head helplessly.
And at this point, they heard Lu Xiaobu’s order: "Open the door, prepare to dump the minerals."
Suddenly, the two of them were thrown into confusion!
"Am I... hallucinating?" The captain’s mouth twitched, his body stiff as he looked toward Shen Yu: "Did he just say, open the door, dump the minerals?"
"I... I... think I heard that too!" Shen Yu stuttered, terrified!
This is the ocean!
Dumping minerals now?!
These are gold mines, platinum mines, diamond mines!
This ship with nearly a hundred billion worth of minerals, all dumped into the sea?!
He’s insane! Mentally unstable!
"What are you doing? I told you to open the door, dump the minerals." Lu Xiaobu’s impatient voice came over again.
"No hallucination!" The captain was stiff all over!
Dammit! That order was real?!
Tens of billions worth of minerals are going to be dumped into the ocean?!
What do you intend to do?! Fill the sea to create land?!
Even if you fill the sea to create land, you don’t use gold mines, platinum mines, diamond mines to fill it!
"It’s not a hallucination!" Shen Yu pinched himself hard, trying not to faint!
Oh my!,
This world is too crazy!
He was finding it hard to hold on!
The crew members all felt like their brains were cramping!
"Into the sea?! All these gold mines into the sea?!"
"Abandoning them?! These are refined gold and diamond mines! Any piece would make you rich!"
"My God! Are people from the Heavenly Dynasty this insane?!"
"Goddamn! They’re too rich!"
"More than rich, it’s like they’re burning money!"
"..."
After confirming the order repeatedly, the captain and Shen Yu finally opened the door and watched as a freighter full of minerals... no, money, was dumped into the ocean!
"Splash!"
Honestly, you haven’t seen this scene, it really makes you want to faint!
Watching those massive chunks, gleaming gold, where you can see the gold glowing on the minerals, one after another rolling down, entering the sea, you really feel like you’re being skinned alive!
Though this gold wasn’t theirs anyway!
...
Lu Xiaobu didn’t care what they thought.
Those minerals seemed to fall into the sea, but in reality, they were all thrown into his piggy bank the moment they hit the water.
At the same time, the progress bar on the piggy bank started to slowly grow!
21%...22%...23%...
This unrefined mineral isn’t on the same level as previously refined gold.
The speed truly was a bit slow!
Meanwhile.
The captain on the ship, with trembling hands, recorded this scene with his phone and uploaded it online.
Thus, the entire world went mad!
They learned a new term - "money-wasting creatures!"
ps: Just two updates today, worked too long on the third Chapter and it still feels off, lacking something!
