The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 388

I have so much money I can't spend it all, so I'm burying it!

"What are you standing there for? Start burying the money!" Ma Yunteng glared at the bewildered crane operator and said. The crane operator nodded quickly and immediately manipulated the boom to put all the boxes of cash into the pit.

Ten cranes worked simultaneously, and in less than twenty minutes, all the cash was moved into the pit. Because it was 100 tons of cash, they found that the pit was not big enough, so they used excavators to expand the pit by a whole lot before they could finally bury all 100 tons of cash.

After seeing the pit covered up to form a flat area, Ma Yunteng picked up a hammer, glanced at the engineer beside him, and the engineer couldn't help but smile bitterly. He then picked up a pre-made gold-plated plaque and slowly walked down to the flat area containing one hundred tons of cash.

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

Ma Yunteng swung the sledgehammer, hammering the bottom of the sign into the soil.

"Holy crap! What is this?!"

Holy crap!

"Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"

"Haha! This is the most outrageous display of wealth I've ever seen!"

"This looks really exciting!!!"

"My God, that's just too much!"

After Ma Yunteng smashed the sign into the mud, he peeled off the black cloth covering it. When everyone saw the line of gold characters on the sign, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement!

Because there was an extremely ornate and eye-catching line of text written on that sign!

This is a blatant attempt to cover up a 10 billion dollar scandal!

"Haha! These words are so damn satisfying to read!"

"Yes, as the old saying goes, 'There are no three hundred taels of silver buried here,' and now there are ten billion taels buried here!"

"Holy crap, now I finally understand the difference between a nouveau riche and a super-rich person!"

"Oh my god, I really want to steal this 10 billion! 10 billion, that's 10 billion!!! Even if I only steal one-thousandth, I can become a tycoon!"

"You seem to be an idiot. If our boss dares to write these words, why would he be afraid of someone coming to steal them? Have you ever heard the story of 'the guilty party hiding something'?" one of them suddenly said.

"Hmm? What's that story?" someone immediately asked.

"Well, since you don't know, then I'll tell you!" The Calorie executive cleared his throat and said slowly:

“In ancient times, there was a man named Zhang San. He worked very hard to save up three hundred taels of silver, and he was very happy. But he was always afraid that someone would steal it, so he found a box, nailed the three hundred taels of silver into the box, and then buried it in the ground behind his house.”

But he was still worried that others might come and dig it up, so he came up with a "clever" idea: he wrote the words "There's no silver buried here" on a piece of paper and pasted it on the corner of the wall before he left with peace of mind.

Little did he know that his actions were witnessed by Wang Er from next door.

In the middle of the night, Wang Er stole all three hundred taels of silver. To prevent Zhang San from finding out, he wrote on a piece of paper: "Wang Er next door didn't steal it." and pasted it on the wall.

The next morning, Zhang San got up and went to the back of the house to check on the silver. The silver was gone. When he saw the note, he slapped his forehead and suddenly realized what had happened!

The man paused and then said, "The saying 'There is no silver buried here' is a metaphor for trying to hide something, but ending up exposing it instead."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter!

"Haha! This guy named Zhang San is such an idiot!"

"He's alright, but that guy named Wang Er is the real jerk! Holy crap, Wang Er next door didn't steal anything! He's so damn wise!"

"So, does that mean our boss is...?" one of them said, half-laughing and half-crying. What he really wanted to say was, "Isn't Ma Yunteng stupid for imitating the ancients?"

The executive at Calories glanced at him, a sneer flashing across his lips: "What do you know? The Zhang San in the story is fundamentally different from our boss, okay? That Zhang San was worried about his money being stolen, but our boss? He has so much money he can't spend it all, so he deliberately buried 10 billion to let someone steal it!!!"

Wow!!!

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock!

However, some people soon held a different opinion:

"I don't think so! I believe our boss dared to put up this sign because he must have already thought of ways to prevent theft! This is just showing off!"

"Yeah! This is the most awesome boast I've ever seen!"

"A hundred billion here is not a secret... These words are even gilded! It's blindingly bright! My 24K nuclear explosion-proof LEDs, transistors, global positioning, infrared tracking, thermal effect, ion reaction, mirror reflection, laser rocket propulsion, high-strength copper sulfate hardening, domain wall resonance, anti-eddy current loss and resonance loss, electronic pulse band, LEDs and phototransistors, wafer pulse scattering, light spot irradiation, particle band, light-emitting semiconductors and photoelectric sensors, light source hardening and anti-electromagnetic wave, ferrous sulfate hardening and copper nitrate hardening, kryptonite anti-riot dog eyes! Ah!"

"..."

It has to be said that Jack Ma's act of burying 10 billion yuan shocked many people. However, compared to burying 10 billion yuan, writing "This place has no secrets, 10 billion yuan" is what truly surprised them!

"Boss, isn't what we're doing... a bit too much of a blatant display of wealth?" Zhao Peng said slowly. He had just seen many people taking pictures with their phones, so he immediately ordered that no one should publicize this matter. Even if it was posted online, it could only be a blatant attempt to conceal something, and no information related to Paradise Island could be revealed. Otherwise, they would lose all their wages and be held accountable.

Chapter 276 Who can help me spend 10 billion?

"It's alright, 10 billion isn't much. It's just a groundbreaking ceremony, nothing serious." Ma Yunteng had a faint smile on his face. To be honest, he really didn't care about 10 billion.

Come to think of it, we've already spent a trillion, so what's another 10 billion?
