Chapter 128 1/2

“Kala Island has been sold.”

“Who bought Kala Island?”

“Has the transaction price been announced?”

“Sheng Quan? The one from the holographic stage?”

In fact, around the world, more than just Qiao was shocked by this news.

Most people saw this news just for the sake of entertainment, but there was a small group of people who quickly gathered detailed information about Sheng Quan.

In fact, they had heard Sheng Quan’s name more or less, as holographic technology represented the new era. The person who personally opened this new era naturally attracted attention.

However, just because you opened the door to the treasure trove doesn’t mean you can grab the treasure. Even if you grab it, it’s not certain if you can keep it.

But Sheng Quan’s act of buying Kala Island told them that she had enough power.

Buying a private island has always been an entertainment activity exclusive to the wealthy. It was like some yacht clubs. Whether or not you had a private yacht became a measure for some nouveau riche to determine if someone could enter their circle.

For these top-tier billionaires, they didn’t make their actions so obvious. At their level, whether someone has a private island or not doesn’t affect social interactions, as long as there is enough benefit.

But buying a private island that is known as the world’s largest, with a price tag high enough to offset the entire wealth of the upper-middle-class wealthy, changes the situation.

Especially since, after Sheng Quan bought the island, she didn’t treat it as a private playground but instead invited top wealthy individuals from various countries to play.

She planned to host a concert for the general public on the island.

Sheng Quan, who exactly is she?

Countless voices whispered in discussions around the world:

“Can’t I disclose client information? I don’t need her client information; I just need the public transactions from last year to this year.”

“Incredible! How does this lady manage to profit in every industry?”

“I figured it out. The funds under her name have been constantly swapped and updated, with assets all over the world.”

“I remember her. She once bought an estate in country A. At that time, I thought it was a business move. Now it seems that this young lady from Huaxia has deeper roots than we imagined.”

“Huaxia… I remember our company had cooperation with her holographic company; find the cooperation-related information for me.”

On this day, Sheng Quan received calls from all over the world.

Some were from people she had left business cards with.

Some were from people who didn’t even have the qualifications to have her business card.

These calls seemed like ordinary greetings: “Congratulations!” “When will your island be open? Can I bring my family to play on it?” “I heard you’re planning a concert. Can I get a ticket?”

These seemingly casual greetings were actually expressing goodwill towards the new owner of Kala Island.

Sheng Quan responded to these greetings effortlessly.

She knew that she had finally come into contact with the top tier of people in the world.

And quite naturally, she was being welcomed into their circle.

Now, what she had to do was showcase her strength.

Xingmang’s small meeting room

Although it was small, its decoration was even more upscale than the large meeting room in the company because only vice presidents or above could enter this meeting room.

And whenever Xingmang had a major decision, the number of people participating in the meeting would not exceed five.

The fewer people, the more important the event.

At this moment, in this small meeting room with a large ant plant on the table, only Sheng Quan and Gu Zhao were sitting.

“I know this is a bit straightforward,” Sheng Quan judged the next plan of Xingmang like this, “but it works well.”

She looked up at the man sitting across from her. Gu Zhao was also in a relaxed posture, even though the two were deciding on the allocation of 80% of Xingmang’s liquid assets.

“About using these funds for the Kala Island concert…”

“I agree with your decision.”

Gu Zhao had always stood by Sheng Quan’s side. Although, in the eyes of others, this decision seemed more like a gamble, using all the resources, connections, and money that Xingmang had accumulated to bet on a concert that could shock the world.

At the moment the new era just arrived, when they successfully held this concert, Xingmang’s position would be unshakable.

In the era where everyone hesitated about where to invest, all eyes would gather on Xingmang, capable of organizing such a world-class concert.

All the groundwork before could be closed in an instant.

But if it failed… Xingmang, having put out most of its liquid funds, would plummet.

To be honest, Sheng Quan was somewhat expected but also somewhat surprised by his support.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this decision seemed like someone giving away their entire fortune just to get an invitation to a celebrity’s banquet.

And before that, this person’s entire fortune was enough for them to live a carefree life.

Xingmang’s current situation is similar. Even if they didn’t organize this concert, using holography alone would be enough for Xingmang to become a world-class entertainment company.

Of course, there was a high possibility that they wouldn’t reach the first or second position. After all, other big companies had a deeper foundation. Xingmang was still relatively young.

For many people, perhaps this would be enough. Even if they couldn’t become the first or second, being the third or fourth was not bad. There was no need to take risks.

Just for a concert that could be exposed to the world, was it worth it?

“Worth it.”

Gu Zhao’s answer was very affirmative. He raised his light-colored eyes. In those eyes that were always deep and cold, beneath the calm surface, ambition was gathering.

Quite coincidentally, he looked like someone without much ambition, even someone who didn’t come to the company often and liked to wander around, just like Sheng Dong.

Sheng Quan leaned back on her comfortable sofa, dressed in casual clothes, holding a pillow in her arms.

There was even a cup of milk tea on the side table.

However, in such an ordinary and lazy state, she picked up the pen and signed a document worth tens of billions.

After signing, Sheng Quan put the pen aside and took a sip of milk tea.

She felt that she had practiced a bit now. If she had signed this document when she first transmigrated… No, wait, when she first transmigrated, the money in her pocket was only enough to buy a pancake.

“If we succeed in this deal, we’ll leave our mark on history together.”

It wasn’t like the time when they first met and were just drawing big pictures. Sheng Boss had drawn the big picture, thought for a moment, and said to Gu Zhao:

“But you still remember to leave some reserve. If this doesn’t work out, we…”

Before she finished speaking, Gu Zhao, who usually never interrupted her, had already taken over the conversation.

Several years had passed, and Gu Zhao’s appearance seemed unchanged. He still liked to dress neatly, still had a standard, beautiful face, and still had significantly less hair than other CEOs in the same class.

However, at this moment, his magnetic and pleasant voice, which always carried a cold undertone resembling that of an AI, seemed to suppress a bit of gentleness.

“If it doesn’t work out, it’s okay.”

Gu Zhao looked at Sheng Quan, and beneath his long and thick eyelashes, his usually cold, light-colored eyes showed seriousness and determination.

He seemed to be the same as before, intelligent but somewhat easy to deceive.

When Sheng Quan first met him, she lured him in with promises of a grand vision. Now, before she even started painting a new picture for him, he had already drawn it for himself.

“We can start from scratch together.”

For a moment, Sheng Quan didn’t know how to react. The reason she could make this decision was that she had the backing of 006. Even if Xingmang failed this time, as long as her abilities remained, she could earn money by completing tasks.
