Chapter 1261: A Shocking Warehouse
A few weeks after losing the title of the world's richest man, Warren Buffett recently defeated Microsoft founder Bill Gates again and regained the top spot in the list of Americans.
Andy Smith followed with $39 billion, adding about $7 billion to his personal net worth in the 33 days from August 29 to October 1.
In stark contrast to Warren Buffett and Andy Smith, due to the drag of the financial crisis, Lakshmi Mittal, a steel tycoon from India who was listed as the richest man in the UK by The Times, has lost 20 billion pounds since June... ”
At the breakfast table the next day, Lima was watching the news on the television with a knife and fork in hand.
Boom –
Lima swallowed his mouthful of water, his pretty face was occupied by the excited and excited Hongchao, his voice was a little weird and his tone changed, staring at Andy's indifferent handsome face and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true? Oh my God, how did you do it!"
"The number is a bit off, there should be more, there are still some funds in operation, if the settlement is completed, this number will increase a lot, but Forbes's group of guys is already very powerful, and it can be estimated so close. Andy shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows indifferently.
"Ahh
"Oh God ... ”
Lima threw away his knife and fork, screamed excitedly, threw himself directly into Andy's arms, sat opposite each other, held Andy's face, excited and reddened, his eyes glowed green, and began to kiss continuously.
"Woo... I said, can you not be so excited... ”
Andy rolled his eyes helplessly, holding his knife and fork in both hands and froze in the air, letting Limas, who was in a state of excitement, do it.
The upcoming October 27 issue of Forbes magazine provides an update on the impact of financial turmoil since September on the 400 richest people on the Forbes list.
As the share price of Berkshire Hathaway, which is owned by Buffett, jumped 17%, Buffett's personal net worth increased by $8 billion, bringing the total value to $58 billion.
Gates' assets shrank by $1.5 billion, to $55.5 billion. According to this, Warren Buffett, the "god of stocks", has replaced Gates as the richest man in the United States. Previously, Gates had been named the richest man in the United States by Forbes for 15 consecutive years.
Andy has become the fastest growing super-rich person in the world, and he is also the youngest super-rich person in the world.
Although, this time in the ranking, Andy also satisfied his vanity, however, he knew that in the next step he will start to spend a lot of money, attacking everywhere, his total assets will be extremely inflated, but his personal net worth will shrink rapidly, after all, he needs a lot of debt to leverage several projects at the same time.
Now Andy finally understands what it's like to have reached a certain amount of money and become the highest level of the 13 realms of the number game, to be honest, so much money, he really wants to spend it personally, and he really doesn't know how to spend it.
But if you want to invest in mergers and acquisitions, this money makes him feel that he doesn't have enough to spend, this kind of distress, hey... Is this the so-called distress of the rich?
"Ahem... Andy looked at the 'wolf palace' that was about to transform into a 'wolf hall', and said, "Ahhh Lima, who screamed, hurriedly coughed lightly, put down the knife and fork, looked at the silky little sao and said with a smile: "Although I really want to fight with you for thousands of rounds, but I really have something to deal with for a while, I can't let my subordinates wait stupidly, noon, I am feeding you little she-wolf at noon." ”
"Hate! You're a wolf!" Lima took a deep breath, withdrew his little hand that had prepared the BA gun, and thrashed it a few times, her excitement and excitement did not calm down at the moment, the key is that the news report is too shocking, even if she is the hottest Victoria's Secret supermodel in the past year, tired and tired, it is only 8 million US dollars.
Look at your own man, 33 days, 7 billion, no, listen to him say that there are more, this is simply an unbelievable astronomical amount for her...
"Honey, this is crazy!" Lima muttered in a red, condescending, slightly emotional tremor as he squeezed Andy's cheeks with both hands.
"Hehe, it's okay, Warren Buffett's old rascal is much more powerful than me, don't look at his only increased assets by 8 billion, but that's just his company's stock gains, his other investments are not counted... Well, let's not talk about that, eat first, and after eating, I'll take you to see my collection, which will definitely surprise you. Andy looked at Lima, who was looking at him with a disdainful and adoring gaze, and knew that no matter how much he said, Lima, who was now overwhelmed by wealth, would not listen.
"I want you to feed me... Lima sat in Andy's arms, his right hand around his neck, tired of him, and said in his ear.
"Hey, woman!" Andy looked at Lima, who was almost in a GH euphoria, and shook his head with a smile, sighing in his heart.
A breakfast, in the greasy and crooked in the pestering demon JING Lima finally finished eating, Andy sat on the sofa in the living room, a little helplessly waiting for Lima who ran back to the bedroom to change clothes, after all, in his near future, it is impossible not to change his clothes.
Lima, who had a pink face, with a strong charm between his eyebrows, held Andy's arm, leaned on Andy's shoulder a little lazily, and looked at the vast farm scenery outside the car window.
The car quickly stopped at the compound of the Freedom Eagle, Andy got out of the car, turned around and held Lima's little hand, and when she also got out of the car, he smiled and said to Joseph and Kenny, who were already waiting, "Let's go, go and see my artworks, I'm really looking forward to it." ”
Joseph and Kenny looked at each other and smiled, then reached out to make an invitation gesture, and Andy put his arms around Lima, who was looking around curiously, and walked towards a large warehouse on the side of the campus.
The warehouse was surrounded by cameras, and there was a simple gatehouse at the door, and when Andy and his party came over, a heavily armed doorman immediately greeted him, stood straight, and saluted everyone with an American military salute.
"Good morning, boss. ”
"Hello, open the door. Andy nodded with a light smile, and then said directly.
The doorman did not hesitate, took the necklace from his neck, turned and walked to the large sealed iron door to open it.
"Thank you. Andy took the lead in taking the cross-border threshold, and said to the doorman who was standing next to him after opening the door and turning on the lights, and then looked at the interior of the warehouse.
The whole warehouse covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, the roof is four or five meters high, there are no windows, only a few vents, and the walls and floors around are wrapped and laid with thick carpets, and the most conspicuous thing is the things placed on the walls on both sides
Temple columns, large reliefs that have been divided and put back together, statues of gods from the Roman era, mosaic frescoes, various stone slabs with texts and motifs...
“。。。 Lima looked at the various cultural relics piled up in the entire warehouse in shock, covered his mouth with his small hand, and was agitated again, mainly because there were too many, and even for people like her who didn't understand cultural relics, she could clearly feel that strong sense of historical vicissitudes.
"Boss, this statue is the statue of King Ntimena of the Lagash Dynasty that dates back 4,400 years... ”
Listening to Joseph's introduction, Andy looked at the statue with only the body, couldn't help but look at a wooden box on the ground, and pointed with a solemn expression: "The head of the statue is in the box?"
"Yes, if it weren't for the swiftness of our people, the whole statue would have been smuggled out of the border in several pieces, and now it would only be necessary to find someone to fix the head, but... ”
Joseph paused, deliberately glanced at Lima who was looking around in shock and curiosity, and Andy waved his hand indifferently, Joseph continued to lower his voice and said: "The whole world is looking for this statue, whether it is official or on the black market, this statue can be said to be one of the 47 most precious super national treasures in the history of Afghanistan." ”
