NOVEL NEXT Chapter 343: 342
BOSS!
What does this word mean?
Boss!
That's right, it's Boss!
The tweet from the manager of Henry Poole couldn't be clearer; it meant he had a boss with the surname Qin!
It's just that no one had considered that possibility before. After all, in the eyes of the vast majority, the manager of Henry Poole would absolutely never sell his shop. This tweet had always been regarded as nothing more than a joke.
But now, combining what Qin Heng just said with the content and photo of this tweet, it's almost certain that if Qin Heng was in London at that time, then what he just said is probably true!
Oh my God!
This teenager, who looks to be only seventeen or eighteen, really spent tens of billions to buy this shop?
How is that possible!
That's tens of billions of yuan we're talking about!
"No! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!" Gu Xing shook his head repeatedly and said, "Unless he was in London at that time, this news can't be about him!"
"You won't give up until you're faced with the undeniable truth!" Bo Ling sneered, opened WeChat Moments, and scrolled to Qin Heng's post from this May.
Elizabeth Tower, also known as Big Ben!
It's the iconic building of London, England. Looking at the date, Qin Heng was indeed in London at that time, without a doubt!
"It's true... this is actually true!"
Gu Xing was dumbfounded, thoroughly shocked. His face was full of disbelief as he stared at Qin Heng, eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, astonished to the extreme.
His parents were also shocked, so scared their legs went weak, and they almost collapsed to the ground.
This is insane! It's just too outrageous! We originally thought he was some poor loser we could easily bully, but it turns out he's an Ancestral Tyrant Dragon! Ten billion! That's ten billion we're talking about! And to be able to spend ten billion to acquire a shop, his total assets must be even greater! As for how much, no one dared to speculate! It was simply unimaginable! Poverty really does limit one's imagination!
Cui Danwei and Shangguan Wen also looked at Qin Heng with utmost surprise.
Although they had previously guessed that Qin Heng must be an extremely wealthy second-generation rich kid, they hadn't imagined he could be wealthy to such an extent! It's truly incredible! Ten billion! It's an astronomical figure!
"Mr. Qin, as a practitioner in the fashion industry, I'm really curious." Bo Ling approached Qin Heng, a faint fragrance wafting as she asked in a low voice, "How much did you spend to acquire Henry Poole? Was it ten billion?"
The people around also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear clearly what Qin Heng would say.
Was it really ten billion spent on the acquisition? That was their concern as well. After all, ten billion is truly too much, well beyond the scope of what normal people can imagine.
"It wasn't ten billion; it only cost one billion."
Qin Heng smiled and said, "The manager of Henry Poole is a good person. I promised to provide him with better, higher, and more comprehensive sales channels. This part accounted for a nine-billion-yuan discount, and with another one billion in cash, the acquisition was successful."
One billion!? It only cost one billion!?
HISSS!!
The people around, upon hearing Qin Heng's words, couldn't help but gasp, looking at him in disbelief, utterly astounded.
Their gaze toward Qin Heng now held even more admiration than before. No, it wasn't just admiration! It was more like worship! It was like a mortal beholding a God—an unparalleled devotion!
If Qin Heng had spent ten billion to acquire Henry Poole, it would merely mean he was very rich, as Henry Poole was indeed worth that much. One could only say that he bought something of normal value at its normal price, and there was nothing particularly astonishing about the transaction itself. However, if Qin Heng had completed the acquisition for seven billion, regardless of any attached business terms, it would prove he possessed an extremely brilliant business mind and professional capability. If he had spent only three billion, it would prove that Qin Heng was a God of Wealth incarnate, walking this earth solely to make money. No matter how much he squandered or wasted, he was bound to earn even more in the end! He was a legendary figure, one who might even be recorded in the annals of history, changing the entire world's economic framework and landscape! Now, Qin Heng was claiming he only spent one billion!? To have bought the ten-billion-yuan-valued Henry Poole for merely one billion was truly too incredible! It was beyond all reason!
"I don't believe it! I cannot believe it!"
Gu Xing shouted again, pointing at Qin Heng, "That's absolutely impossible! No matter what you promised, the manager of Henry Poole, as long as he isn't a fool, would absolutely never sell it to you for just one billion!"
One billion! It's really too low! Only one-tenth of ten billion—this is an absolutely unacceptable price difference! Think about it. If a house is priced at five million, but you only offer five hundred thousand, anyone who isn't a fool would definitely not sell! And now, it's ten billion reduced to one billion! How is that possible?!
No one believed it. This time, even Bo Ling, Cui Danwei, and Shangguan Wen found it hard to believe Qin Heng.
Because this was truly too astonishing! It was simply unbelievable, too inconceivable!
"Insignificant beings, viewing the sky from the bottom of a well."
Qin Heng helplessly spread his hands, took out his mobile phone, flipped to a photo, and showed it to everyone, saying, "See for yourselves."
Everyone's gaze fixed on it.
The photo displayed on Qin Heng's phone was a picture of him with the manager of Henry Poole. They were at a desk, signing an agreement, and the terms were written clearly:
The transaction price for Henry Poole: one billion yuan!
The entire train carriage erupted. Everyone stared wide-eyed at Qin Heng in disbelief.
My God! It's actually true! This young man actually only spent one billion to buy Henry Poole! Incredible! Such an absurd thing actually happened in reality!
Some even slapped themselves twice to check if they were dreaming.
"Mr. Qin, I am sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you," Bo Ling quickly bowed to apologize to Qin Heng, saying, "It's just that acquiring Henry Poole for one billion is truly miraculous."
DING!
Just then, a notification sound came from Qin Heng's phone. A text message popped up. Since many people were already looking at Qin Heng's phone, they all saw the content of the message.
Instantly, everyone froze, dumbstruck. They were utterly stupefied!
