Chapter 165: Selling Cat to Pay Debt
Pay off the loan?
Hearing this, everyone present, including Li Qing, was stunned:
Tens of millions of dollars can be easily taken out...
Giorno, I didn't expect you to be a rich second generation?
Of course, this absurd thought only flashed through our minds, and everyone reacted immediately :
"I see!"
"Since those 'vampires' can even exchange human blood for money, then the animals and plants created by the Golden Experience can definitely be used to pay off debts."
"That's right."
Giorno nodded and added:
"And if the only measure of value is money."
"Some animals and plants are thousands of times more valuable than humans."
" For example ... I once saw on the news..."
The Golden Experience suddenly shot out a phantom, infusing a large amount of vitality into the worthless stone in Giorno's hand.
The stone instantly twisted and deformed under the influence of the powerful vitality. The earth-yellow surface gradually turned into emerald green, and the round shape gradually became slender and enchanting.
But in just a moment, the lifeless stone turned into a cluster of beautiful flowers.
It was a bunch of roses.
The flowers bloom like burning flames, and the bright rose-red flowers gradually turn pale from the inside to the outside, the color of the flowers is neither rich nor elegant.
Even though most of the people present were unsophisticated people who did not know how to appreciate floral art, they could still see at a glance the beauty and charm of this bunch of flowers.
"This is…"
Fabio's expression changed slightly.
"Julia Rose."
Giorno said calmly:
“It is a rare variety cultivated by the world’s top flower art masters. It is a world-famous product that won the international horticultural award as soon as it was unveiled.”
"It was recently auctioned at the Chelsea Flower Show in the UK for... $26 million!"
26 million is a huge sum of money that most people on earth cannot get even if they sell themselves.
Just a bunch of flowers that have no value other than being beautiful can be exchanged for a lifetime of labor by human beings.
This is the world of the rich.
The air was filled with a faint floral scent, and the fragrance was filled with the smell of banknotes.
And now, these flowers with incredible value have become the life-saving straw for Li Qing and others.
"These Julia roses should be enough to pay off the loan."
Giorno threw away the bunch of roses that had grown in his hand.
With this throw, he threw away 26 million yuan, which is equivalent to a villa in Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, a building in a second-tier city, and the salary of an ordinary person for ten lifetimes.
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
With this kind of Midas touch, why would he want to be a gangster star?
You can earn more money just by planting flowers casually than Diablo can by working hard for a whole year... Even a money printing machine can't make money faster than you!
In such a feeling...
That bunch of Julia roses, which were so valuable that people dared not even look at them, was just casually thrown to those "computer people".
Like the brass bullets and broken glass before, these gorgeous flowers were also sucked directly into the body of the "computer man":
"Julia Rose, Recyclable..."
The mechanized voice sounded again, and for the first time, the words it said did not sound so unpleasant.
However, in just the next moment, the situation changed:
“Repayment failed, repayment failed.”
No valuation was done and no explanation was given as to why.
That bunch of flowers was just like the glass shards before, and was thrown out of the computer man's body like garbage.
"What?"
Giorno's expression changed slightly:
“Why is this happening…”
"The Julia Rose I made is indistinguishable from the real thing. Even if it is auctioned on the market, it will definitely sell for a high price."
“Why did the repayment fail?”
He couldn't think of an answer.
After discarding the flowers as if they were garbage, the three computer people approached them with murderous eyes.
The crisis has not been resolved at all, and the nightmarish debt collectors are about to come back to bother us again.
"this…"
Li Qing also didn't know how to understand what had just happened.
At this critical moment, he couldn't help but raise a possibility:
"Does that mean this Julia Rose isn't worth that much money at all?"
"You know...some of the so-called famous flowers and paintings are simply tools used by the rich to launder money."
This is a simple routine that everyone knows:
On the first day, A found an excuse and gave a pot of worthless flowers to B to raise.
The next day, C came to B's house and saw the pot of flowers. He exclaimed, "There are such stunningly beautiful flowers in the world."
On the third day, B, who discovered the "true value" of the flower, sent the flower to an auction, and it was indeed bought at a high price by an unknown buyer.
After all this hassle...
Dirty money becomes clean money. A can transfer benefits without making a sound, and B can pocket his gray income openly.
Are the flowers themselves ? This question is difficult to answer.
"this…"
Giorno couldn't help but hesitate.
On the one hand, he felt that what Li Qing said made some sense, but on the other hand, he felt that something was wrong:
As a rigid remote automatic stand-in, do those computer people really have such a complex value judgment mechanism?
Judging from their previous performance in recycling brass and human blood, they are obviously pricing in a rigid manner based on the existing market prices in society.
But now...
If, as Li Qing said, they can judge the true value of items... this doesn't make sense at all!
Because the so-called "real value" of a commodity is a complex concept that countless economists are unable to accurately define.
"Whatever..."
Giorno knew that he couldn't think of such a profound question.
Faced with the imminent crisis, he could only seize the time and try various methods:
"Since the price of flowers may not be 'real' enough, this animal must be of high value-"
“Golden experience!”
The golden fist shadow appeared again.
This time, what emerged from the stone was no longer a flower, but a small furry ball with chubby hands and feet.
It looked young and was about the size of a puppy.
This size is almost the limit of Golden Experience's ability to create conscious animals.
Slightly sparse black and white hair had grown on its fleshy body, and on its round head were a pair of black gemstone-like eyes. Its eyeballs rolled around, curiously and carefully looking at this extremely unfamiliar world to it.
"Panda?!" Li Qing was extremely surprised.
As a veteran online shit shoveler, he can't even wait to de-digitize it and appreciate the divine beauty of this little glutinous rice dumpling from close range.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to pet the cat.
Giorno held the beast that would spend the rest of his life in prison, and said something that would make him spend the rest of his life in prison:
"According to the Dragon Kingdom's regulations, the annual rental fee for a panda is as high as one million US dollars."
"Based on the lifespan of a panda... just by calculating the rental income, its value is over 20 million US dollars!"
"Selling this panda will definitely be enough to pay off the so-called debt."
As he said that, Giorno touched the head of the black and white ball, then hardened his heart and threw it away.
The little guy who had just been given life was immediately grabbed by those "computer people".
Then, it was swallowed alive by the bodies of these debt collectors.
"Baby panda, recyclable..."
The computer people shouted like this.
However, in the next moment, the same bad thing happened.
The inestimable value of the baby panda was vomited out of the computer man's body, and the debt was not paid at all:
“Repayment failed, repayment failed.”
"how so?"
Giorno's expression became extremely solemn:
"Pandas are universally recognized as priceless treasures. Why can't they be used to pay off debts?"
"Even such a rare animal is not considered valuable... What is the standard used by that Stand to judge value?!"
"Or..."
He frowned, with sparks of wisdom flashing in his mind:
“The real reason for the failure of repayment is not the value of the item?”
