Chapter 496 The Scheme of Capital
Fanus District.
Inside a luxury villa.
Handsome men and beautiful women mingled together, a lively and bustling scene.
They danced gracefully to the music, radiating beauty and captivating the eye.
Although they aren't big stars, they are still familiar faces on screen. Gathering such a large number of people together is something money alone couldn't achieve.
Ding.
Lucrecy raised his glass and clinked it with Philocne's, his expression one of blissful ease.
A crisp sound rang out, and the rich, blood-red wine in the glass swirled gently.
Then, drink it all in one gulp.
"This is life!"
Luke was surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, laughing heartily.
The couple's image on television was widely praised by the public, and they were hailed as a model couple.
Not only do the citizens like them, but this couple is also his favorite.
The contrast between their on-screen and off-screen personas brought him endless amusement.
What interesting expressions would those cattle and horses make if they saw their male and female idols behaving in a lewd and depraved manner?
"Vulgar taste."
Philox shook his head dismissively and put his arms around the two beautiful women.
One is a woman, and the other is a man in appearance but a woman in physical form.
What's the point of having a man's body? Of course, it needs to be modified to some extent to enhance his gaming experience.
All sorts of random accessories were arranged.
This is what enjoyment and excitement are all about.
"You're not bad either!"
Lucrecy retaliated without hesitation.
They're all the same kind of people; after experiencing too much excitement, they seek even greater thrills.
No one should laugh at anyone else; we're all the same.
Philox wanted to retort, but didn't: "Luke, we're sitting here peacefully, surely not to argue?"
They are the two top directors of Huijing Meike, each belonging to a faction, and both want to become the true leader.
They often fight, so it's very rare for them to play together like this.
"of course."
Lukero calmed down and pushed the couple away from him: "This collaboration was very successful and should be remembered."
“If things can continue like this, there might be a second Huijingmeike, with each of us in charge of one side. By working together, we can have a greater say in TOPS.”
Having fought to this point, they already know it will be very difficult to bring the other side down.
Unless he uses external forces, he is certain that when he approached the military, they also found a powerful backer.
If a conflict breaks out, the consequences will be even more severe, and it is very likely that both sides will suffer heavy losses.
He absolutely could not bear to see a situation that endangered his own life.
The split of Huijingmeike was inevitable, or rather, it already was, but it remained unchanged to maintain its influence.
If the company were to double in size, there would be no fear of a split. These two old rivals could actually turn enemies into friends because of their past relationship and join forces to dominate the new Elidu.
"Yes, you're absolutely right."
"If this continues, we will be good friends."
Philocles followed Luke into the soundproof office and remarked with emotion, "This harvest is unprecedented, and the cost was almost zero."
"The two of us alone have reaped 300 billion dinghies in the stock market, and all we did was let a rat hide. Those fools really think they can make money in our stock market."
He seemed to have thought of something happy and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
That's ridiculous. The referees are all their people. How can we compete with them?
"However, it's still a bit dangerous."
Luke said casually and exaggeratedly, "You know what? When a retail investor put in two billion dinney, I almost thought one of our people had leaked the information and we were being set up."
Two billion dinney is not a small amount, and it was a crude personal account with very rudimentary operating methods.
If their operations are leaked, they'll lose a great opportunity to make money and face considerable risks.
This signal made him suspicious for a long time.
"But it was just a false alarm."
Philoxus smiled and said, "Just a daring retail investor, eager to give us money to fleece us."
“There are very few people like this anymore.” Lukero couldn’t help but feel a surge of desire: “He can afford to invest billions of denarii in stocks, yet he’s still so naive. It seems his intelligence is not enough to match his wealth. We’ve taken the part he doesn’t need.”
Philox nodded in deep agreement, and said with a touch of righteous indignation, "If there were more people like this, that would be great. They pay money, we teach them a lesson, it's a social practice."
Cheers to social practice!
Luke, feeling tickled, raised his glass in celebration.
"Cheers to social practice."
Philoxes smiled slightly, understanding perfectly.
They rarely have such perfect understanding.
After chatting for a while...
Luke suddenly became serious and asked, "By the way, is it really impossible to crack that new drug?"
“Impossible.” Philoxus shook his head, puzzled. “Our team is already top-notch, and we even poached talent from the Joe family to study it. We only know that it works by reverse engineering energy, but we don’t understand the manufacturing principle at all.”
Although their team was assembled temporarily, it was already top-notch.
At least you should be able to see the surface, but ultimately it's a blank.
It's as if that's something that shouldn't exist in New Ellito, something that transcends New Ellito by several eras.
"Then the only option left is to produce counterfeit products and engage in false hype."
Luke said regretfully, "We should have changed an era and reaped all the benefits. Now we only get scraps, which is really disheartening."
They engage in deceptive hype, changing the taste and packaging of high-quality medicine and selling it at a price that increases tenfold.
Although they earned a lot, it wasn't enough to propel them to become the new kings of Elidu.
Philoxes suggested, "Perhaps the recipe is in that rabbit hut; we could try to get it."
Luke agreed, but remained wary: "We can try. They're selling in large quantities at low prices, so they might have the formula. But we should outsource it several times, and it's best not to use force."
"The person who invented that drug was a genius."
Philoxus praised him highly, expressing his admiration.
That's ingenious! They even placed a Heavenly Fire Protection System inside Void Zero. It's terrifying.
"Thank goodness he's gone."
Luke sighed.
They would never dare to do this if they didn't leave.
"Yes, thank goodness he's gone." Lukelo came to his senses: "If he hadn't left, we really wouldn't have dared to do this."
The thought of the terrifying power left behind sent chills down his spine.
His military friend, a major general, said that the military is currently actively studying the structure of the Skyfire system, but the possibility of replicating it is very slim.
That was the most powerful force in New Ellidou, comparable to those who had once repelled the Black Wall.
And this is just a remnant.
Philox was a little scared: "Do you think he'll come back?"
"probably not."
Luke swallowed hard, instinctively feeling that it wouldn't happen.
“He put down the Heavenly Fire System to protect his friends, provided new medicine to give the Rabbit House a source of income, and made all the arrangements meticulously.” Philocs analyzed rationally: “This should be a legacy. He may be dying, or never coming back, which is why he made such thorough preparations.”
It is precisely because of this possibility that...
They only began taking risks and engaging in capital operations two months after that person left.
Using company assets to assist personal investment can yield profits exceeding a thousandfold.
At times like this, even if it means risking being hanged, one can't help but give it a try.
In fact, many of them are hesitant and testing the waters.
They were ahead of the curve, reaping huge profits and thoroughly enjoying themselves.
This was an incredibly brilliant decision.
"I think so too."
Luke was much more at ease.
Anyway, if it were him, he would never hand over his property until he dies.
It would be best if they couldn't come back; then they could do even more.
