Chapter 206 - The Most Lost Stone Speculation (2/2)

“Wait a moment!” Hao Ning said. He felt that this place looked a little weird. He asked, “Are you sure we are in the stone speculation?”

“Yes,” Xiao Hong replied to hesitated Hao Ning. He thought that Hao Ning was a little nervous about this place. He comforted him, “What’s wrong? No need to worry. I will help you.”

“Not about that,” Hao Ning smiled, embarrassed. “I don’t doubt what you did. I just did not see any mines over here. You see the stones in front of us. I think this is a construction site. Are you sure we are not cheated by others? In the novels, the scene of the stone speculation is a glorious place. Many bosses, luxury cars and many…”

“You want to see luxury cars?” Xiao Hong smiled. He looked at Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai, and said, “You two doubted too?”

Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai nodded, embarrassed.

“Let’s park our car together!” Xiao Hong stepped on the gas. They turned left and right many times on the bumping roads. They saw a ragged door finally. Entering the door, Hao Ning saw many luxury cars such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley, McLaren, etc. The cars were parked in this ragged parking lot. It seemed to be a luxury car show.

“Wow!” Liu Shuai exclaimed, staring at those cars. He pointed to a car near him and shouted, “Look at this one, that one, and that one! The doors can be opened at both sides!”

“Bullshit!” Xiao Hong smiled. “The door opens at one side is the door on the bus!”

“No,” Liu Shuai realized that he said it wrongly. “I mean, the doors are open upward!”

“Upward? Which one?” Hao Ning wanted to see it too. In his impression, the cars with doors opening upwards were luxury cars. It looked like a butterfly after the door was opened.

“There are many just like the one you said,” Xiao Hong did not pay attention to those cars. He was looking for a parking space. He said while he was driving, “I won’t buy this kind of car. Brother Zhang won’t buy it either.”

“Why not?” Hao Ning wanted to say it was too expensive for him to afford. However, thinking of the two were not poor men, he said again, “Limited edition or…”

“No that. Why there are so many cars today? Not so many before,” Xiao Hong frowned. “This kind of car needs a wide space for parking. It will be even wider after the doors are opened. It needs two spaces for parking. And, you know, many people hate the rich. If you encounter one and he scratches your car, what can you do? People who buy these cars for showing off. If your car was scratched, how can you show off your wealth? It is just like that you get a very beautiful girlfriend. And you take her with you to join a party for showing off her beauty. And one of your friends told you that there are some freckles on her face…”

Xiao Hong looked at others after he expressed his idea. They had a look of disgust on their faces. He continued to say, “I am sorry. Somebody told me this. Not me.” Xiao Hong did not give somebody’s name. However, they all knew who he was. They did not disclose it. And they continued to listen to Xiao Hong.

“And, the parts, maintenance are all high and time-consuming,” Xiao Hong said as he found a parking space. He parked the car and added, “The most important thing is roads are not suitable for these cars in the Celestial Empire.”

“Cars should be used as a traveling tool,” Xiao Hong turned back to them and said while he turned off the car. “No matter the car is luxury or a common one, it can be used only on the roads.”

“Err…” The rest of the three silenced.

If this was spoken out by an ordinary person, Hao Ning would have thought that he was jealous of other’s wealth. However, it was spoken by Xiao Hong, He had to admit that Xiao Hong may pursue something true and simple in his blood. Xiao Hong’s powers such as Fire Escape, Bodhisattva’s glorious cloud, and the hot wheels ridden by Hao Ning before were expensive and had more functions than a luxury car.

Xiao Hong looked at those cars. In his eyes, they were just like toys. He said, “Let’s go!”

“Xiao Hong,” Hao Ning said, aligning with Xiao Hong. Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan stayed in the parking lot for taking photos of luxury cars. Hao Ning asked, “I am wondering why there are no mines in the stone speculation?”

“Because the stones were transported from Burma and other countries!” Xiao Hong said. He found that Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan were not in sight after several minutes. He turned back and found that they were still standing in the parking lot, taking photos. They took photos with cars one by one!

Xiao Hong sighed, asking them to keep pace. And he continued to say to Hao Ning, “No mines here. They had to get from somewhere else.”

“Why did they want to build one over here?” Hao Ning was still wondering. “It’s so far and expensive. Why did they do this?”

“You are wrong…Well, they are not ordinary persons.” Xiao Hong said. He saw that Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan walked back to cars again. “If you did it again, I won’t take you two with me again.”

“Be here again?” they heard it. They said excitedly, “For what?”

“Err…” Xiao Hong rubbed his forehead. He shook his head and said, “You two will lose your sleep after seeing those cars here. I have to come here with Hao Ning more times to make more money. So, I can afford luxury cars for you two. Or you will nag about it forever around me!”

Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan looked at each other, laughing excitedly. “Brother Xiao Hong, no, no, my grandpa Xiao Hong. You mean you will buy luxury cars for us?”

“Of course not,” Xiao Hong said seriously. He just said it. The two turned unhappy immediately. Xiao Hong smiled, “Two cars for each of you!”

“Brother, you are so generous!” Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan rushed to hug Xiao Hong. They almost kissed him, “So, so, so generous!”

“From now on, you two should stay with me within 5 meters. Or I won’t buy them!” Xiao Hong sighed. “I already planned it when I asked you to wait outside. When you saw something special in your world, your attitude toward it will be different from before. It is called cause and result!”

Hao Ning, now, understood Xiao Hong’s intention. For a person, it was easy to step into a luxury life while difficult to step out of it.

Xiao Hong did not want them to see those cars. That was his intention. Thinking of this, Hao Ning was still wondering why he did not notice those luxury cars when he arrived here. He was excited about Zhe’s Porsche when he saw it before. He had no answer to it at that time. He heard Xiao Hong saying,

“About the reasons why there are stone speculations instead of mines because demands determined supplies. There were more and more stories circulating about being rich overnight. Many persons wanted to be one of them. As there are demands, they must be some of them will make their dreams come true. And the most important is that it is lawful.”

They entered the ordinary building while they were talking. After entering it, they found that the inside was far cry from outside, leaving alone the splendid decoration and lights. The dresses they wore were luxury. However, not all of them dressed like wealthy persons. There was a group of guys standing at the corner dressed in plains. They must be the servants of the persons. It was easy to understand that as a rich man, he wouldn’t take a stone by himself.

Of course, there were exceptions. Persons standing in the line dressed extraordinarily. Although Hao Ning did not know the brands they wore, he knew they were not ordinary. They must be very interested in the stones. So, they did it themselves.

“Something is wrong here!” Xiao Hong said, looking around. “Something must be wrong.”

“What’s it?” Hao Ning asked, looking around too. He found nothing special. “Did we get the wrong place?”

“Of course not,” Xiao Hong shook his head. “People here today look different.”
