Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.
Chapter 13 Endless Harvesting, Part 1
In the evening, Zhou Hong led Papaya and Tisham to continue exploring Bangkok, a bustling metropolis filled with skyscrapers.
The two little girls changed into newly bought pink pleated sundresses, looking like two little princesses, beautiful and adorable beyond words.
We strolled around the luxury shopping street, bought some clothes, and each of us received a Cartier bracelet. Although they weren't collectible jewelry, Cartier's jewelry is known for its consistently high aesthetic appeal, making it very popular with young women. Many of their accessories are also suitable for young women.
Take Tissanthem and Papa's bracelets, for example. They are platinum and diamond-encrusted, which are very dazzling. However, if a wealthy lady were to wear them, they would seem a bit too flamboyant and edgy.
Including clothes and other items, it didn't cost much, totaling four or five thousand US dollars.
Zhou Hong suddenly paused, thinking to himself that he had spent 30,000 to 40,000 RMB just to go shopping and buy some clothes, and he had subconsciously felt that he hadn't spent much money.
This... it really is easy to go from frugality to extravagance...
Not to mention the LOVE series bracelets, all of which were purchased in platinum with 10 diamonds. Each one cost over eight thousand US dollars, and two cost approximately seventeen thousand US dollars.
Each small bracelet costs approximately 7 RMB.
However, the cost ultimately comes from the people themselves; these expenses are considered part of the relief efforts. For every expense incurred, the system transfers a corresponding amount.
The two little ones were overjoyed, their smiling faces beaming with happiness. They were as serene as Papa Ya, and would occasionally steal glances at the bracelet, treasuring it dearly.
If Zhou Hong hadn't made them wear it, Papa Ya wouldn't have even bothered to take it out for a second glance.
Zhou Hong even took the opportunity to pre-order a "Ref. 5002P Sky Moon Tourbillon" at a Patek Philippe boutique under the name of Papa Ya. Only two of these watches are produced each year.
It also swept through many high-end jewelry stores, watch stores, clothing stores, and so on, buying up all kinds of high-end products as if it were a wholesale market.
This includes fine brandy, red wine, cigars, and so on.
This caused a stir in Ratchaprasong, the most luxurious shopping street in the area.
Soon, a luxury delivery van will drive away, taking the goods to Villa No. 1 in the river mouth or the mansion at the National Tower.
General Manager Andy and the newly appointed manager Nong Lan received the same phone call at the river mouth.
Andy, Nong Lan, Aunt Liu, and Xiao Bei—these four were Zhou Hong's designated recipients, and one can easily imagine their expressions now.
This day is historically known as Rajapaksaung "Street Sweeping Day".
Finally, Zhou Hong led the two children to the largest Porsche showroom in Bangkok—the Vibhavadi Rangsit Road main showroom.
In Elephant Country, Porsche's exclusive dealer is Bangkok-based AAS Trading Company.
The Vibhavadi Rangsit Road showroom is AAS's largest showroom nationwide.
Inside, tourists thronged, and under the dazzling lights, various Porsche sports cars and SUVs gleamed.
Having already planned ahead, Zhou Hong went straight to the Cayenne exhibition area upon entering the showroom.
Standing in front of a black Cayenne Turbo, Zhou Hong nodded. This is it.
The Cayenne is Porsche's SUV model. When I was in China, I dreamed countless times that one day I would have money and buy a Cayenne.
Supercars and the like are things I wouldn't even dare to dream of; even a Cayenne is just a pipe dream.
And now, inexplicably, my dream is about to come true.
Turbo was an enhanced version of the regular Cayenne's vortex feature; later mobile phones adopted Turbo as the codename for a higher version of the same phone.
Of course, the Cayenne Turbo is not only more powerful than the regular version; its interior is more luxurious, its lines are more sophisticated, and its suspension and braking systems are more stable.
Tap tap tap, the saleswoman nearby quickly came to Zhou Hong and the other two's side.
Zhou Hong was already incredibly stylish with two stunningly beautiful girls by his side. Not to mention, these female salespeople were very discerning. Just look at the Cartier Love bracelets on Tissang and Papaya's wrists – they were clearly genuine and her dream pieces. For girls, this was a symbol of living in a different circle. What would it feel like to wear hundreds of thousands of baht on a slender wrist? Who wouldn't want to experience it?
"How much is the price for a Cayenne Turbo if I pay in US dollars?" Zhou Hong asked casually to the tall and beautiful woman in front of him.
"Ah, if you pay in US dollars, the base price is 226,000. If it's full payment, we can lower the price to 220,000." The tall and beautiful woman answered skillfully, clearly indicating that paying in US dollars when picking up a car from ASS is not uncommon.
Zhou Hong chuckled inwardly. He had checked the data last night and found that in zero-tariff regions, the Cayenne Turbo's suggested retail price was only $9.
However, like China, the United States imposes high tariffs on imported high-displacement cars, and dealers also demand high profits. Therefore, compared to zero-tariff regions, the final price is often double or even triple.
"Okay, then I'll choose the interior!" Zhou Hong said.
The tall, beautiful young woman was stunned. "No way? This deal's done? Really? You're not even going to test drive the car?"
"Hmm? Is there a problem?" Zhou Hong glanced at her. Compared to buying a house, he was already being very serious about choosing accessories and interiors, wasn't he?
"No, no, sir, I'll find the configuration list for you right away..." The tall and beautiful young woman hurriedly rummaged through the thick stack of documents she was holding.
Even after Zhou Hong had selected the interior and upgrades, calculated the price, and led him to the finance department, the dazed car saleswoman only came to her senses after Zhou Hong transferred the money. She hurriedly handed her business card to Zhou Hong with both hands.
Zhou Hong glanced at the business card; the car saleswoman's name was Tasha. He then casually put the business card away.
"Sir, please have some tea..."
Zhou Hong and the two children were led to the VIP lounge. After asking Zhou Hong and the two children in a soft voice, Tasha served Zhou Hong a cup of fragrant tea according to the needs of the three guests, while Ti Xiang and Papa Ya each received a box of yogurt.
Actually, both Tissot and Papa Ya wanted sparkling drinks, but Zhou Hong said that giving them yogurt would be fine.
The two little ones were extremely well-behaved and obedient, and were now sucking on the yogurt through the straw.
Tasha watched this scene and cursed inwardly that this guy was a pervert, raising a mistress like a daughter.
There are many perverts among the second generation of super-rich individuals; they are truly a terrifying and disgusting group.
"Sir, may I use your ID for now?" Tasha said with a sweet smile and utmost respect.
The upgrades Zhou Hongxuan requested all happened to be for a high-spec model that was readily available, with minimal modifications, and he could pick up the car today.
There is a DLT point next to the exhibition hall. DLT is short for the Department of Land Transport, which is similar to the vehicle management office in China.
If Zhou Hong has his ID card, then he can get his vehicle registration and license plate today.
The country of Xiang is extremely corrupt. Even something as simple as a commoner getting a license plate for a three-wheeled vehicle can get you stuck for three months.
However, it is extremely convenient for the powerful and wealthy to get things done. For example, the DLT office next to the exhibition hall was established after the exhibition hall was built. The office was applied for by the owner of ASS.
Not long after Zhou Hong handed over his ID card, a "ding" sounded from the depths of his soul.
"Ding! First purchase of a milestone vehicle!"
"Milestone Reward: Heping World will cover 99% of the purchase cost (not exceeding annual salary)."
Okay, this is my first private car, a milestone...
Just now, a "milestone achievement" also appeared for the collectible jewelry. Of course, I didn't waste it. I used the quota for helping the two little ones to buy it. In other words, after the purchase, it will be under Papa Ya's name.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hong took out Papa Ya's ID card from his bag and said, "In this way, the vehicle registration will be in her name, so it's bought for both of them."
Tasha paused for a moment, then quickly smiled apologetically, "Yes..."
Zhou Hong added, "Oh, and I'm Chinese. I forgot to bring my driver's license from China. Could you help me get one here?"
Before Tasha could speak, he took out two thousand US dollars, along with his and Shanti's passports, and Papaya's ID card, and handed them to Tasha. "Our situations are similar. See if you can find a way to get us both driver's licenses renewed."
Upon seeing the two thousand dollars, Tasha's eyes lit up. Without saying a word, she accepted it and said with a smile, "Yes, sir, no problem."
Next door at DLT, you can submit your documents to the showroom to apply for a driver's license. The price is clearly stated: 15,000 baht per person, which is about 3000 RMB for a driver's license.
Getting three driver's licenses only costs $1000, and she still managed to save about $1000, which was quite a small windfall.
Tasha immediately felt full of energy, and this perverted second-generation Chinese man didn't seem so repulsive anymore.
More than an hour later, Tasha turned around and handed Zhou Hong her ID card, passport, three newly issued driver's licenses, and vehicle registration certificate with Papa Ya as the owner. She smiled and said, "Sir, everything is done. The car upgrade is complete, and the license plates are installed. You can drive it home anytime. There is a gas station 500 meters east of DLT."
Zhou Hong nodded, glanced at Papa Ya's driver's license, and sure enough, it showed that she was 18 years old, as were his and Tissah's.
According to the laws of Elephant Country, one must be 18 years old to obtain a driver's license.
It doesn't matter to me and Tissah, who are both foreigners; it's not uncommon for passport ages to not match actual ages. But Papa Ya is a local, and for the clerk at DLT to issue a driver's license like that is truly a case of the bold starving and the timid thriving.
"Alright, let's go!" Zhou Hong stood up.
……
Sitting in the driver's seat of the Cayenne, with the faint scent of new leather filling the car, Zhou Hong slowly started the engine, then chuckled to himself, thankfully.
Back in China, although I didn't have a driver's license, I often accompanied my second aunt's husband on his truck trips during busy periods like Chinese New Year a couple of years ago. We would take turns driving, and I also had some experience secretly driving smaller cars.
Although the vehicles in Elephant Country are right-hand drive, there shouldn't be any problems after a little getting used to them.
The main reason is the "physical enlightenment," which comes from the comprehensive enhancement of physical fitness, including a comprehensive improvement in reaction ability, concentration ability, etc., making vehicle control feel like a piece of cake.
"You two don't have to rush. You can practice driving more when you have time later." Zhou Hong glanced at the two little ones sitting obediently in the back seat.
"Yes, brother!" The neat, childish voices were from Papa Ya, who seemed less frightened and nodded happily.
Zhou Hong glanced at the system interface again.
The Cayenne ultimately cost $24, including all taxes and fees, and the system's RB fund has already returned the money.
What should we buy in their names?
In the end, he bought three of those penthouse mansions in the Penthouse district.
I didn't dare buy any more, afraid of causing any trouble.
I bought a string of collectible jewelry. These are rare finds; I wanted to buy the kind of piece that I would normally bid for at an auction.
It happened to be on display as a prized possession at the Cartier flagship store, which was both a chance encounter and something that could not be sought after.
As for miscellaneous luxury goods, he bought countless items, such as bags and watches.
They even bought a bunch of drinks and cigars.
All of these were attributed to Papa Ya.
Today's "street sweeping day" will surely be recorded in the annals of Bangkok's most luxurious high-end brand street.
Now, how about buying a supercar?
Unfortunately, top-tier supercars are also rare finds. Unless they are being shipped from Europe or America for a car show, they need to be pre-ordered. While waiting, the system might fix the current "unlimited reimbursement" bug.
"Buy another luxury house?" Zhou Hong chuckled.
But I had a vague feeling that fixing the system bug was imminent.
"You two wait for me!"
Zhou Hong got out of the car and ran towards the exhibition hall.
When Tasha saw Zhou Hong return, her heart pounded. She was afraid that this rare and extremely agreeable client had suddenly changed his temperament, or that he had discovered some problem and was dissatisfied and wanted to return the car.
"What's the most expensive car in your showroom that I need to get my hands on right away? Price doesn't matter, I just need to pick it up immediately."
Zhou Hong's hasty words were extremely unbelievable, unlike anything a normal person would say.
"The most expensive?" Faced with this bizarre customer, Tasha remained completely bewildered.
"Yes, the most expensive one! Price doesn't matter, a million dollars is fine!"
Tasha was startled, then her eyes lit up after a moment's thought: "If you're not in a hurry, our boss is actually in talks to sell a car on consignment, a Ferrari Enzo, you know? But the boss and the owner can't agree on the commission and the price, because it's brand new and just arrived in port, and the asking price is too high, while the commission is too low..."
"I'm in a hurry!" Zhou Hong asked, "You mean a supercar, right? What's the general price range?"
Tasha looked at Zhou Hong helplessly. He was really bad at everything and loved to play around. He didn't know anything about Enzo, yet he was talking about supercars.
"In the zero-tariff region, the Enzo costs over six hundred thousand US dollars. Moreover, it's not about how much money you have to buy it; you need to be a Ferrari member who owns at least two Ferraris to be eligible to reserve one. It seems like there's only one in all of Bangkok. I heard that the owner's family is not doing well... so they reluctantly sold this newly arrived Ferrari king."
After a pause, Tasha added cautiously, "However, he's asking for $150 million, and he'll only give my boss a 2% commission, so we haven't been able to reach an agreement."
Zhou Hong waved his hand: "I'll take the $160 million. The extra can be your boss's commission."
"Huh?" Tasha stared in disbelief.
Zhou Hong had already taken out Papa Ya's ID card. "Quick, let's sign a pre-sale contract, and I'll transfer the full amount to your boss as a deposit."
Tasha was bewildered; how could she possibly be qualified to speak to her boss? This inside story was told to her by a department head who was pursuing her and wanted her as his lover.
Seeing that this eccentric customer, who was either crazy or stupid, kept urging her on, Tasha had no choice but to call the department head.
The department head seemed to have had too much to drink. He had been lusting after Tasha's beauty, and he actually sent a message to the boss to report it.
However, he was subsequently subjected to a barrage of insults, accused of being so drunk that he had no sense of vigilance when encountering scammers.
When the department head called back, he was sobered up by the boss's scolding and complained incessantly.
Zhou Hong then called the bank's dedicated customer service representative and transferred the money to the account where he had just bought the Cayenne.
When I bought the house, the Bangkok branch of Military Bank was located on the first floor of the National Tower, and I also opened an eight-star VIP account at that branch.
The National Tower property management also helped with the process, which greatly increased the transfer limit and eliminated the need for review each time.
He also had a dedicated service representative. Zhou Hong could transfer money by making a phone call, but of course, he needed to use the electronic code sent to him for secondary confirmation.
I just transferred $160 million in two installments, and the full amount of $80 has been credited back to my account.
Suddenly, a ding sounded, a voice from the depths of the soul.
"Bug found, urgently being fixed!"
Okay, that's all!
Zhou Hong let out a long breath; it was truly thrilling and exciting.
"Repair complete!"
"Compensation packages are being distributed!"
"Reward: The host's gains from the bug do not need to be refunded!"
Ah, Zhou Hong let out a long sigh of relief. This bug fix gift pack was rather perfunctory, but it was still pretty good.
Actually, it's obvious that it's because of the existence of that creation system that it doesn't care about a few cents on Earth. It doesn't matter if it gets taken from you.
So, I really have to do my best to serve it. Right now, I'm in my seedling stage, and it's probably happy to accelerate my growth, but due to certain rules, it can only use the system mode.
The question is, what if it really intends to "nuclear-peace" the world?
So, does that mean it wants to destroy all of humanity? Because of the rules, it can't act on its own, so it has to find a proxy?
"Ding, repairing the rescue milestone reimbursement limit."
"Ding, corrected to the current salary amount for 100 days!"
...Well, I didn't expect that after the credit limit for helping the two little ones was restored to normal, it was reset to zero again, and each of them had a credit limit of 40 US dollars again.
Could such a benevolent system lead to a "nuclear-peaceful" world?
There are also charitable foundations and the like, which are clearly full of love and compassion.
But who knows? Great evil can appear as good; there are plenty of such examples in Earth's history.
Moreover, in the eyes of that being, being good to humans is not necessarily good.
"Sir...Sir..." Tasha whispered to Zhou Hong, who had suddenly become dazed.
"Oh, I've transferred the $160 million. You can check it out with your boss!"
Tasha was stunned. If it was true, what else could it be but madness?
Of course, it's not easy to embezzle these traceable transfers in the public account. Even if you use the excuse of a wrong transfer, you can still get them back by filing a lawsuit, right?
The problem is, if it's a transaction, then you completely lose your bargaining power.
Tasha was lost in thought when she hurriedly called the department head she knew.
Zhou Hong, standing to the side, remained calm and composed.
