America: Starting with Daily Intelligence

"4.3 million US Dollars!"

The middle-aged wealthy man behind didn't hesitate to raise his paddle and bid, surpassing the price of Spanish coins at the New York auction.

After contemplating, Allen Zhang also raised his paddle and bid again, "4.32 million US Dollars."

"4.35 million US Dollars."

"4.4 million US Dollars."

"4.45 million US Dollars."

"4.5 million US Dollars."

"..."

The opponent reluctantly glanced at Allen Zhang, thought for a moment, and had no choice but to forfeit the bid.

You have money, so you think you're amazing? Spending 4.5 million US Dollars for a Spanish coin?

Sorry, flaunting wealth is just a big show.

Allen Zhang smirked slightly.

I now spend 4.5 million US Dollars to buy this coin, then resell it to the collector Madison for 5 million, then I still make a profit.

Even if I give the other party a friendly price, not earning much, I can still make a friend.

Madison definitely doesn't lack money, his biggest hobbies in life are getting wives, having kids, buying collectibles, and playing with small animals. The collectibles and animals on his island are already worth several hundred million US Dollars!

His life is definitely worthwhile.

"Congratulations to guest number 12 on successfully auctioning this Horn Coin. Please follow the staff for transaction procedures after the auction ends." The auctioneer struck the hammer announcing the end of this round of the auction and continued with the next item.

However, Allen Zhang wasn't interested in the upcoming auction items and chose to leave the venue midway with Mr. Pike, calling the staff to go backstage to sign the contract and handle the transfer procedures.

Backstage, they also saw the people who consigned the Horn Coin, surprisingly they were young people.

"Sir, congratulations on acquiring the Horn Coin. The price is absolutely great value!" The young people congratulated the General Sect Leader with beaming smiles.

"Really? Then may I ask, where did you guys get this coin from?" Allen Zhang smiled, observing their attire didn't seem like they came from wealthy backgrounds.

The leading young guy said with a smile, "We were fishing while touring at the harbor and accidentally caught a fish, and found this coin inside its belly."

"Well, you guys are really lucky. Young and already millionaires." Allen Zhang remarked.

"Absolutely! We are indeed very fortunate! We are ready to organize a trip around the globe." The young folks were overjoyed, chatting and laughing.

Mr. Pike wordlessly looked at the General Sect Leader. You're a billionaire, you even struck oil.

What about me? Nearing middle age, I almost went bankrupt. The gap between people is even bigger than dogs.

The staff finished processing the paperwork, took out the contracts for Allen Zhang to sign. After checking them and finding no issues, he decisively signed his name and performed two transfers to the Whale Auction's account.

The Whale Auction then deducted service fees and divided the accounts between Mr. Pike and the coin seller.

Once the money was transferred, Mr. Pike felt a weight off his shoulders, handed all related documents and certifications to the General Sect Leader, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Jin, I hope this company can perform better under your guidance, although it currently has many issues and difficulties, it's also the result of my many years of hard work."

"I'll manage it well," Allen Zhang smiled slightly.

"Mr. Jin, would you like me to show you around the premises? The department heads and employees are all looking forward to meeting the new boss. Of course, the most pressing issue is the delayed salaries," said Mr. Pike.

"Of course, let's go now," Allen Zhang readily agreed.

Upon exiting from the auction's backstage, they also saw several glamorous socialites and internet celebrities waiting in the hall. As soon as they saw Allen Zhang had finished his business, they eagerly gathered around, greeting him warmly, "Mr. Jin, are you free now that you're done?"

"Darlings, sorry, I still need to take over my new company, might not have much time to spend with you all," Allen Zhang smiled subtly, invisible boast, the deadliest.

The beauties became even more eager upon hearing this.

General Sect Leader scooped up from those who threw themselves at him, not rejecting the high-quality resources offered at the door, yet the line of principle wasn't crossed.

The love-struck butterfly Mandy bumped directly into him, wishing to merge with the General Sect Leader, "Mr. Jin, when you have time, please call me, I'll be available anytime."

Allen Zhang had a deep impression of her and said immediately: "There will be an opportunity, my dear beauties, I must leave now, see you another day."

He then pinched each of them as he passed.

"Goodbye, Mr. Jin."

The glamorous women didn't mind at all, some even regretted not getting close enough to be touched. Fearful of being seen too little by the rich, yet wary of being seen too much by the poor.

The General Sect Leader had long seen through it, to be honest, he was just coveting their bodies.

It's foolish not to take advantage when offered.

"Mr. Jin, you are really popular. But you might want to take my advice as someone who has been through it all, they are all after your money. If you're going to get involved with them, better take proper precautions. When I was young and just got rich, I was also reckless, played the field, and got several women pregnant, almost blew up my marriage. Fortunately, I pulled back in time and spent money to handle the disasters," Pike said sentimentally, "Otherwise, I'd be paying millions in child support each year by now."

Allen Zhang fell into thought, then replied, "Even if I don't have money, I have 9 inches, isn't that enough?"
