Ser el patriarca del Dao en el multiverso

Capítulo 389

It's just 10 billion, right?

Ma Yunteng is already numb to spending money!

"Alright! The rest is up to you. You'll have to work hard during this time. Also, keep it a secret, because I'm not sure about the future development direction of Paradise Island." Ma Yunteng had considered developing Paradise Island into a tourist attraction, specifically one with a VIP membership system, meaning it would be by invitation only.

You can visit Paradise Island, but you must be invited by Ma Yunteng.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you offer, you won't be allowed to set foot on the island.

Therefore, Ma Yunteng does not plan to publicly announce Paradise Island for the time being.

"Boss, 10 billion... just buried like that. Isn't it unsafe? Should we hire some powerful martial artists to protect this 10 billion?" Zhao Peng asked rationally. 10 billion is no small sum; it's enough to drive many people crazy.

"I've already spoken to the Hongmen. They'll assign a Golden Core stage elder to oversee the security of this 10 billion, while the other projects on the island can be guarded by ordinary Hongmen members."

Ma Yunteng had already anticipated this. The Hongmen people would be coming soon. Places like Paradise Island, far from the mainland, generally wouldn't attract any villains. Even if they did, they would only be some insignificant pirates.

As long as the Hongmen's influence is here, it's enough to handle the situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Peng immediately left to arrange other matters. Ma Yunteng demanded that they complete all construction work on Paradise Island within three days, and he dared not be negligent in the slightest.

"System, will my spending of hundreds of billions like this cause a financial crisis? Like inflation or something?" Ma Yunteng asked with some concern.

Although he hadn't studied economics, he still understood some basic principles: if too much money circulates in the market, then the money will depreciate.

By then, he will have destroyed China's economic environment.

"Host, please rest assured! As I have explained before, the money provided by this system is won from stock markets around the world using high-tech methods, and will not disrupt the Chinese economy!"

"Besides, the host has only spent a trillion so far, okay? What's there to worry about? Apple on your Earth has a market value of trillions! There are plenty of rich people and wealthy conglomerates out there. Please broaden your horizons, stay humble and modest, adjust your mindset, and spend money wisely!" the system said calmly.

"..."

Ma Yunteng couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself!

Damn it, everyone else is trying to make money with a positive attitude, especially those struggling authors who can't even earn enough to eat in a month by updating 10,000 words a day. But Ma Yunteng is different. He's already spent over a trillion yuan, and the system is still telling him to keep a positive attitude and keep spending money!

"Friendly reminder to the host: the construction on the island has just reached 70 billion, and there are still 30 billion left to spend. Please spend the remaining 30 billion as soon as possible! Otherwise, you will be punished with a 100,000-volt electric shock!" the system said slowly.

"well!!!"

Ma Yunteng couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Everyone else finds making money painful, but I find spending money so painful."

"I wish someone could help me spend 10 billion!"

Ma Yunteng now realizes that it's better to be an ordinary person. Once you become an ordinary person, you can go to work and earn money normally, your heart will be calmed, and your soul can be sublimated!

However, Ma Yunteng was quite troubled. After acquiring the Godly Rich System, he could no longer go to work to earn money. All he could do was spend money, and he had to grit his teeth and spend it!

This feeling is absolutely awful!

"Got it!" Ma Yunteng sighed speechlessly, and immediately racked his brains to think of other ways to spend the money. After some thought, Ma Yunteng called over the relevant project manager.

"Boeing 747s, we need the best ones, nothing less than five billion. Also, we need to buy a dedicated air route from Northumbria III to here," Ma Yunteng said to the chief designer beside him.

“Boss, the best Boeing 747 costs at least five billion, and buying the airline routes might cost another billion,” the chief designer replied seriously.

"Holy crap, that's so cheap!"

Ma Yunteng felt it was too cheap; it would take another 23 billion to spend it all. So he glanced at everyone again and said, "Okay, build the amusement park to the standards of Disneyland, but the attractions inside should reflect the characteristics of China. Is 10 billion enough?"

"That's enough, that's enough!" The chief designer was stunned.

“You said it! I’m telling you, you have to spend this 10 billion. If you don’t spend it all, I want to personally watch you eat the rest of the money!” Ma Yunteng said seriously, raising an eyebrow.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of this 10 billion!" the chief designer said with a wry smile. The bosses he had met before had all been trying their best to find ways to save money, but Ma Yunteng was forcing them to spend money! And it wouldn't be good if they didn't spend enough!

"Let's think about where else we can spend money at the underwater restaurant," Ma Yunteng asked another designer with a smile.

"Reporting to the boss, as you instructed, the underwater restaurant has already cost 20 billion. Everything is being built to the highest standards, so there haven't been many opportunities to spend money," the designer said speechlessly.

"Well, if there's no opportunity, we'll create one!" Ma Yunteng chuckled. "Tell me, how many people can our underwater restaurant accommodate at the same time?"

"A thousand people!"

"Oh, if it's a thousand people, then we'll definitely need to prepare a lot of tableware, right?" His eyes darted around, and Ma Yunteng looked at him before continuing:

"Alright! Use diamonds for all the tableware! Bowls, plates, everything must be made of diamonds!"

"This..." The manager's mouth dropped open in astonishment. Plates and bowls made of diamonds! Where in the world could you find a restaurant like that?!

"Oh, right, as for the chopsticks, let's not use diamonds. To avoid the color being too monotonous, let's make them with gold bars. Hmm, even if we accidentally drop them, they won't break!" Ma Yunteng said with a faint smile, "Prepare a thousand sets of gold and diamond tableware. Fifty billion should be enough, right?"

"That's enough!" the designer said, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"Alright, you can all leave now!" Ma Yunteng dismissed them. There were still over 10 billion left to spend. 10 billion wasn't much; they could purchase various high-tech equipment, and that should be enough to cover the costs!

Time flies, and three days have passed.

With the continuous construction efforts of more than 20,000 workers, Paradise Island was completely completed.

Diamond villas, golden swimming pools, underwater restaurants—every structure on the island is fully functional.

After Ma Yunteng had Zhao Peng distribute their wages and bonuses, he had everyone leave Paradise Island. Those remaining on the island were mostly high-ranking members of Calorie and related service personnel.

"Ma Yunteng, are you coming to the class reunion or not?"

Ma Yunteng suddenly received a call from the deputy squad leader.
