As Ding Fan and the others entered the venue, the crowd stood up and gave them a warm applause.
Ding Fan, Hu Jin, Zhou Ruoran, Fang Ruohan, and Ye Ningbing sat down in the seats of honor amidst the fervent atmosphere.
Once they were seated, the emcee proceeded to the stage.
"Hello, friends, welco everyone to today's investnt conference."
The emcees' tall figure and striking beauty, coupled with their soft and pleasant voice, naturally drew the attention of everyone present.
Currently, the person hosting this investnt conference was none other than Wu Die.
Upon hearing about the investnt conference happening on Yongfan Island, Wu Die traveled a great distance to offer help.
Ding Fan had already witnessed Wu Die's hosting skills back in Longxi. With Wu Die present, they could perfectly manage the atmosphere and coordination on-site.
Wu Die indeed did not disappoint Ding Fan; on stage, they skillfully engaged the audience. "Since everyone has co to Yongfan Island, you are our friends. There's a saying in Huaxia Country: If you're not family, you don't enter the family's door. This ans that everyone sitting here is part of the Yongfan Island family…"
Wu Die's words were t with a round of applause from the crowd.
"Now, I'll briefly explain the rules of this investnt conference. To not waste your ti, I'll keep it simple. Anyone who successfully wins a bid in this conference will not only receive our gratitude from Yongfan Island but also one of two types of commorative gifts: Revitalizing Pill or Stabilizing Pill. If your contribution is significant, we'll offer more commorative gifts."
Wu Die's language skills were quite masterful.
Wu Die positioned Yongfan Island's gratitude as the main course, while the Revitalizing Pill and Stabilizing Pill were presented as complentary gifts. This showed that Yongfan Island prioritized emotions and affinities rather than simply selling the Stabilizing Pill and Revitalizing Pill.
After succinctly explaining the rules of the conference on stage, Wu Die then turned the conversation and said straightforwardly, "Next, our investnt conference will officially begin."
Amidst a wave of applause, Wu Die continued. "Now, let introduce the first investnt project at this conference, which is the construction of roads in the twelve towns on Yongfan Island. Currently, roads in six towns remain undeveloped. The reward as a commorative gift is a First Grade Revitalizing Pill and a Stabilizing Pill."
There's a saying in Huaxia Country that says, if you want to be wealthy, build roads first.
Currently on Yongfan Island, only six towns have paved roads, while the rest remain dirt roads. Thus, the first project of the conference begins with road construction.
"Our Netherlands is willing to invest."
"Egypt is willing to invest."
As Wu Die finished speaking, many participants were already starting to bid.
"Our Fass Nation is willing to lay roads for these six towns, and additionally, we will provide other infrastructure, including streetlights, drainage channels, and safety barriers, along with anything related to roads. We are ready to take responsibility." As others began to reveal their offers, a representative from Fass Nation promptly stepped forward.
The crowd turned their gaze accordingly.
The speaker was Duke Hans, the Minister of Foreign Affairs from Fass Nation.
Duke Hans was a renowned figure not only in Fass Nation but also globally. His appearance at such events heightened the atmosphere dramatically.
It's worth noting that afterwards, this becos bragging rights for everyone present, like saying, "I once bid alongside Duke Hans from Fass Nation." That's enough bragging for quite so ti.
However, the conditions proposed by Duke Hans were already excessively high, considering the road construction for six towns is ti-consuming and labor-intensive, plus the additional infrastructure.
People in attendance were not incapable of spending money, but such a demanding task left them hesitating.
Thus, after Duke Hans placed his bid, the others fell silent.
"Fass Nation, Duke Hans's first bid…" Wu Die gently raised the wooden mallet, looking at the audience with sparkling eyes.
"Fass Nation, Duke Hans's second bid, Fass Nation, Duke Hans's third bid!"
Bang!
After Wu Die spoke, they heavily struck down with the wooden mallet. "Now, I announce that the road construction for the six towns on Yongfan Island is invested by Duke Hans from Fass Nation... Congratulations everyone!"
Following Wu Die's announcent, the audience burst into applause. Shortly after, an etiquette hostess approached Hans with two Pills placed on a tray.
Hans was visibly pleased to accept the two Pills.
Although this investnt wouldn't be made for less than tens of millions, Duke Hans believed it was worth the price.
Even though these two Pills sold for rely a million apiece on official platforms, only about ten thousand are sold annually. anwhile, in the black market, the prices have soared to significant heights.
These two Pills could fetch millions in the black market, though they are often unavailable. The key concern is whether they are genuine.
There are far too many counterfeit Pills in the black market now.
Those millions ant little to Duke Hans; hence, he preferred a straightforward investnt of millions to acquire both Pills.
This fruitful relationship with Yongfan Island may well serve useful in future dealings.
After all, who can guarantee that they won't fall ill in their lifeti?
Observing Hans receive both Pills, envy gripped the attendees.
Sitting quietly in the corner, Prince Charlie's eyes turned slightly blue.
He refrained from bidding earlier, aiming to assess the environnt first. Now, watching Duke Hans walk away with the items, he naturally felt envious.
Picking the right mont, Wu Die addressed the crowd on stage. "Up next, the project for bidding is the Erdao River International Airport... The commorative reward this ti includes eight Foundation Building Pills and eight Stabilizing Pills."
Boom...
The audience erupted in exclamations upon hearing this.
This airport truly involves billions in investnt, but this ti the other party has offered a very high bid.
In one breath, they actually offered sixteen Pills. In the world, aside from Yongfan Island, which other country can produce so many Pills at once?
"I... Arica is willing to invest." Charlie, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up.
As soon as Charlie stood up, all the flashlights focused on him.
Arica is already a world power, and Charlie is an international public figure, so when he speaks, it naturally draws the attention of those around him.
Charlie thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight. This feeling made him feel like he was on cloud nine.
In Charlie's view, building an airport is not just about having money; it also requires a specialized construction team, design team...
And these software and hardware are exactly what Arica has. Looking around the world, there aren't many countries that can take on such a project.
Just as Charlie finished speaking, a Black man stood up.
"We, South Africa, are willing to invest. Besides constructing the airport, we are willing to donate all the basic facilities within the airport..."
Boom...
As soon as the Black man finished speaking, the crowd erupted again.
It's known that the basic infrastructure of an airport is much more than that of a road. These facilities alone might cost tens of millions, or even a hundred million.
Charlie glanced at the Black man.
He felt deeply embarrassed at this mont.
It's known that Charlie is a prince of Arica.
Others competing with him in bidding never fazed him, but what made him feel truly embarrassed was that the person competing with him now was a Black man.
Charlie took a deep breath and then said.
"On behalf of Arica, I promise that besides the airport construction and basic infrastructure, we are also willing to provide a plane!"
When the crowd heard Charlie's words, they gasped in astonishnt.
The Boeing 77, planes of this model are priced around two billion now, and Charlie was truly going all out.
He openly offered a plane just like that.
Those in the crowd did so quick numbers for Charlie. Including the airport construction, basic facilities, and the plane, Arica's investnt was already around six billion.
This investnt figure far exceeded the value of those sixteen Pills.
Ding Fan sat at the head, watching Charlie from afar.
It seed this fool didn't want to lose to a Black nation in front of everyone, so he offered such a high bid.
Charlie's secretary gently tugged on him at this mont.
"Your Highness, the Prince, this figure is really too high..."
"What do you know? National honor is what's most important!" Charlie interrupted his secretary before he could finish speaking.
The secretary said, "Spending so much money to buy sixteen Pills will cause dissatisfaction back ho. Please think twice, Your Highness..."
Charlie acted as if he hadn't heard his secretary's words; he stood up directly. Full of confidence, he addressed everyone at the scene.
"We are determined to take on this airport investnt project!"
The crowd erupted in a hubbub.
Ding Fan really had to admire that idiot Charlie a bit. In Ding Fan's view, what he was doing now was re grandstanding.
The reason South Africa made such a huge investnt in the airport project was rely to repay an act from Yongfan Island.
During Ding Fan's alchemy retreat, the South African President was terminally ill with cancer, and Hu Jin had sent over a Revitalizing Pill without authorization. This saved the South African President's life.
What they're doing now is just repaying that favor.
They were looking for ways to spend more money, yet Charlie chose to raise the stakes with them...
…
"We, South Africa, are willing to further donate two Boeing 77 planes on top of Arica's bid..." at this mont, the Black man stood up and said.
Boom... The whole crowd gasped in amazent.
This was akin to offering out a billion. This display was simply too lavish.
For a mont, everyone looked towards Charlie, rembering that he said before, this project was a sure thing for them.
Everyone was now wondering what kind of counter-offer Charlie would make this ti.
Charlie found himself unable to sit still.
Ten billion, using ten billion to exchange for sixteen Pills, this was already an astronomical price...
