"Boost the popularity? How do I do that? Does it involve spending money?" Fang Jueyu worried about how to spend money for the first time.
Although Fang Huai owned countless properties, he had never revealed a hint of them. Fang Jueyu had always lived a normal life; being suddenly endowed with such wealth, he found himself at a loss on how to even begin spending it.
"Buy cars? Buy houses?" Ideas flashed through his mind, but he was just an ordinary college student who had never dealt with such matters. The hassle of obtaining certifications, queuing, and entering lotteries was enough to perplex anyone.
"Host, are you worried about how to spend money?" Xiao Yi's voice suddenly came into his mind as he felt puzzled and overwhelmed.
"Why don't you teach me?"
"Ah…" Xiao Yi, surprisingly human-like, let out a sigh, "Host, you should no longer judge yourself with your old mindset. You must break away from your previous identity. Here, let me help you with a beginner's task!"
"Okay, give me some guidance!" Fang Jueyu finally felt like he had grabbed a lifeline.
Current phase task: Spend 10 million yuan on a live-streaming platform, task completion will reward you with doubled physical fitness and increase first-level permissions by 2%.
"Ten million?" Fang Jueyu was speechless. The largest amount of money he had ever handled was his university tuition fee. He had never even dealt with a hundred thousand yuan, let alone ten million, which constituted 10% of the funds on that bank card. Spending it on a live-streaming platform seemed daunting.
"Host, don't worry, a mere ten million is nothing, saving up this amount is too easy… There, ten million saved up, spend it without worries!"
"What?" Fang Jueyu was baffled. In the blink of an eye, he had earned 10 million?
"Host, you have no idea how many properties you own. It seems I need to give you some basic information," Xiao Yi saw that Fang Jueyu was a good boy. Even with such sudden wealth, it would take time for his mindset to shift. So, for now, let's start by shocking him with money!
"What's your dream car?"
"Ah?" He was stumped by the question. Regarding cars, he could only recognize the logos and name the brands. As for the car's performance and model, he knew almost nothing.
However, no matter how unsophisticated someone is, everyone has a dream car in their mind. Fang Jueyu was no exception. Even though he knew next to nothing about the car's mechanical workings, its cool design was unforgettable to him.
"Apollo's Sun God!" He said without hesitation
"Oh? I didn't expect the host to be fond of this type of supercar!" Xiao Yi said, "This car isn't too expensive among supercars, but indeed, it's not something money can just buy. However, that won't be a problem for you."
"What do you mean?"
"Hehe, you'll find out soon!"
Five minutes later, Fang Jueyu's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but Fang Jueyu still answered it.
"Hello, may I know who's speaking?"
"Is this Mr. Fang Jueyu?" A voice of a middle-aged man came from the other side.
"Yes, it's me."
"Hello Mr. Fang, I am Zhou Ruixiang, the sales head for Apollo Supercar's Asia division at Audi. We have received your order and have designed a unique custom supercar for you. We are now calling to confirm the handover work."
"Huh?" Fang Jueyu was stunned. When had he placed an order? Was it Xiao Yi's doing? But how had it managed that?
"The vehicle will be modified based on the Apollo Sun God, featuring bulletproofing, autopilot, intelligent control, and other functions. The modification is expected to be completed within a week, and the handover completed within two weeks. Do you have any suggestions or requirements?"
"No… none…"
"Alright, the factory will handle your order immediately from now on, and I will contact you two weeks in advance to arrange for the car to be delivered to the location you specify."
"Okay, thank you."
"It's my pleasure to serve you!"
"Xiao Yi, what's going on? Tell me!" Fang Jueyu felt as though he was dreaming. He remembered that this level of supercar usually required custom orders and typically involved waiting times of six months to a year, and often orders had to be placed in a queue.
Moreover, these top-tier supercars were limited in number. Even with money, they were not necessarily available, let alone having the modifications done and delivered within two weeks. That probably meant working around the clock for two weeks straight, didn't it?
This implied many orders might be delayed. Surely, Fang Jueyu didn't have such clout?
"What's so strange about that?" Xiao Yi spoke in a tone that suggested nothing was amiss, "You own 70% of the entire company, and almost 90% of all the supercar manufacturing subsidiaries. Basically, you are the boss of the company. Who would dare to delay a car demanded by the boss?"
"I'm the boss of Audi?"
"It was your father who invested and acquired the shares two years ago. Not long ago, they were all transferred to your name!"
"Holy shit!" Fang Jueyu blurted out an expletive, "You're not going to tell me I own shares in Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, and the like, are you?"
"Hehe, you guessed right. Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Pagani, and many other supercar companies all have your shares. These assets are just a drop in the bucket compared to your total wealth. Does this give you a clearer picture of your property?"
"I… my goodness!" Fang Jueyu was utterly overwhelmed this time. If that was indeed the case, then a mere ten million was nothing to him!
"Spend money! Since it can't be spent up, just splurge like there's no tomorrow!" With this newfound understanding of just the tip of his wealth iceberg, Fang Jueyu seemed to have an epiphany and immediately turned on his computer.
He usually watched streams, mostly of gaming competitions, and occasionally some singing streams. However, as a poor student, he had never spent a penny on these platforms.
His usual platform was called "Bamboo Streaming," where he also had his account. He logged onto his old account, which only had a few hundred free bamboos and everything else was a straight zero.
"Let's top up a VIP first!" If he wanted to boost his fame, this was the best way. He remembered that the highest VIP level was 10. Once a user's VIP level reached 10, it would be announced automatically across the system. However, reaching a VIP level 10 required a consumption of five million yuan!
"This is really, kind of nerve-wracking!" Spending so much money for the first time, Fang Jueyu's hands couldn't help but tremble. After a ten-minute mental struggle, he finally opened the top-up interface.
"Tremble, because a super VIP is about to be born!"
