Chapter 120 - 120 Gift (II) (1/2)
Old Xiong walked forward with Xiong Zhi beside him.
Butler Zhou came forward as well with an envelope in his hands.
The guests were anticipating what Old Xiong would give.
Somehow, they find this flaunting of wealth very entertaining. Even though they taste bitter every time the gift was opened, they still hold on to see what's the gift. They would just imagine that they are the ones receiving it.
Old Xiong gestured for Butler Zhou to hand the brown envelope.
Lu Yin Ze accepted.
He opened the envelope while the guest held their breaths.
Lu Yin Ze has few papers on his hand.
His name was on it and some specific lands.
Xiong Zhi started to speak.
”The first page is the deed of the land near the southern border. It is 2000 acres of barren land. It's now under your name.”
The guest was stunned.
2000 acres of land was a big gift. 2000 acres of land was about $10-15 million.
However, if you compare it to the gifts of the two hegemons it was nothing.
'Maybe there is more ?' The guest guessed.
They could not believe that Old Xiong, a very prideful man would give something that made him look defeated.
So they waited patiently. It turns out they were right.
”The second page is the mineral rights. That 2000 acres of land has 2 meters deep of oil under it. It's now for you to harvest it.”
The guest was open-mouthed.
Heavens! What they just heard! That 2000 acres of land has 2 meters of oil under it?! That's literally a land pot of gold! The 2000 acres of land that initially cost $15 million have ten times its value. With that rich oil, they could harvest at least hundreds of millions every month. In a year, it could amount to billion.
The guest has red eyes. They are wishing that they are Lu Yin Ze, the recipient of the gift.
Lu Yin Ze was stunned. Even though he doesn't understand some of it, he knew oil was expensive. Giving him land to harvest oil was like giving him a pot of gold mine. He knew the Xiong family and the Lu family were not that close like how Lu and Guan's family was before. However, the Xiong family give one of their gold mines to Lu Yin Ze.
The three hegemons were shocked as well. The Xiong family could give one of their gold mines to the second young master of Lu Yin Ze. It was really shocking. If they haven't known Old Xiong stingy characteristics they would not question it and might think that the Xiong was just flaunting his wealth.
However, since they knew that Old Xiong and Old Lu were always at each other's throat, what was the reason-giving Old Lu's grandson a so-extravagant gift? These hegemons forgot that they just give an extravagant gift as well.
Old Xiong took all their awed gaze and the doubting expression of the Oldies. He was so proud. He felt that the heartache of giving this gold mine to Old Lu's descendant was vanishing. With a calm expression but a boastful tone, Old Xiong speaks.
”From now on, Lu Yin Ze is it? You will be welcome to come to Xiong Main Mansion whenever. I'll be your godfather.”
Wha-?!
All the guest's jaw dropped. Even the three hegemons were stunned.
Xiong Zhi looked at her grandfather. She did not expect this as well. Seeing her grandfather boastful and confident look, Xiong Zhi wondered if it was really just to boast. She knew her grandfather well. Just even asking for a seat in the IAmFashionista event, she had to work hard on an impossible task. So she could not help but be suspicious. Her grandfather would not be so kind just to accept anyone to use his surname that he cared so much for in other people's advantage. There must be a price to pay.
And she was thinking, what's the reason?
Old Lu was the most shocked and doubtful one. Then it suddenly dawned on him. His face blackened.
There's no way Old Xiong would be so generous without reason.
