11.45 million star coins!
According to the exchange rate of 1: 10,000, it could be exchanged for 114.5 billion Federation dollars!
The purchasing power of the Federation dollars was equivalent to one-third of the Old Era US dollars, which meant that it was close to 40 billion US dollars!
This amount of wealth was enough to be ranked in the top 100 wealthiest people in the Federation.
Furthermore, this was the universal star coin, which was a completely different concept from the Federation dollars that could only be used within the Federation! Other than the Federation government, no one else had such a huge amount of star coins.
"Sir, as your deposit balance is over 10 million star coins, our Endaro Interstellar Bank has already automatically upgraded your client grade from a normal client to a 1-star VIP client. We have prepared a dedicated VIP room for you. Please follow me," Dawson said in a flattering manner.
The rich were the masters. This was an unchanging rule that applied in the entire Universe.
At this moment, a man in his forties walked out from the office. He smiled as he came to Xia Fei and Andre's side. He bowed to Andre and said, "I just received a notification from the system that a distinguished VIP client has arrived at our branch. Mr. Xia Fei, I am the president here, Xu Feng. I represent the Endaro Interstellar Bank to welcome you."
Andre was old and exuded a gentlemanly aura. Compared to the young Xia Fei, Andre looked more like a tycoon, which was why Xu Feng had mistaken Andre for Xia Fei.
Xia Fei and Andre looked at each other and smiled. Dawson hurriedly pulled Xu Feng's sleeve and whispered into his ear, "President Xu, you are mistaken. The young one is Xia Fei."
Xu Feng was slightly startled as he sized up Xia Fei. Xia Fei looked ordinary, and his clothes were also very ordinary. He never expected this VIP client to be so young and so low-key. This was just like the old saying, 'You can't judge a book by its cover'.
"My apologies, Mr. Xia Fei. I have made a mistake. Please follow me to your exclusive VIP room. We have prepared top-notch champagne and strawberries for you."
Xia Fei chuckled and pointed to the AI computer. "Is there such a high-grade, intelligent computer in the VIP room that can log into the Interstellar Internet?"
Dawson's face turned pale as he regretted humiliating Xia Fei back then.
Xu Feng was stunned. He did not understand why Xia Fei would say such a thing, but he soon realized that Dawson must have said something that he should not have, which made Xia Fei unhappy.
He glared at Dawson and thought to himself, "How dare you offend a VIP customer? You must be tired of living."
Dawson's legs went soft. Fortunately, he didn't fall down. He bent his waist even lower and sweat kept dripping down. "It's over, it's over."
In a luxuriously decorated VIP room.
Xia Fei logged into the Endaro Poetry Hobbyist website and realized that the 37 poems that he had uploaded were neatly arranged on the homepage of the website. It was very eye-catching, and it had an average of over 100 million hits and over 20 million subscriptions.
What's going on? It's only been a few days, and there are already so many clicks and subscriptions. Xia Fei had no idea what was going on. Whatever. As long as there's money to be made, why bother?
He turned around and poured two glasses of champagne. One of them was given to Andre. "Hehe, I have no idea what's going on, but I suddenly have a lot of star coins in my hands. It seems like we have to renegotiate."
Andre took the glass and solemnly said, "We are willing to purchase one million star coins at the price of 1: 12,000 to purchase the controllable nuclear fusion field. If you agree, not only will our Rothschild Family be grateful to you, but the entire Federation will also be grateful to you."
To be able to take out 12 billion federal dollars in one go, it seemed like the Rothschild Family's reputation as the number one financial family in the Federation was not just for show.
Xia Fei smiled. "How about this? One million star coins will be my investment in the new energy power plant. As for how many shares I will get, you can decide. The management will also be handled by your family. I will only receive dividends and will not interfere with the operation of the power plant."
The reason why the Rothschild Family was able to stand for hundreds of years without collapsing was not only because of their powerful financial resources, but also because of two factors.
First, the members of this family were born to be experts in financial management. Even the most brilliant geneticists could not figure out why the members of this family had such a talent for money. There was no exception among the dozens of generations of family members.
Second, the Rothschild Family used marriage to spend hundreds of years to build a huge power network across the globe.
A financial genius and a wide network were exactly what Xia Fei, who was alone and weak, urgently needed. Making friends with the Rothschild Family would only bring him benefits.
Furthermore, once this new energy power plant was built, the profits would be very considerable. Using water to generate electricity, was there a cheaper raw material in this world?
Other than the large amount of money needed to build a power plant, once the power plant was in operation, the production cost of each kilowatt hour would be close to zero. This was simply a profitable business.
There were seven billion people in the world. If everyone paid one dollar per month for electricity, that would be seven billion! Furthermore, it would solve the pollution problem of thermal power plants and hydroelectric power plants in one fell swoop. The people would also be very happy if the electricity price was lowered.
Killing three birds with one stone! Xia Fei would be a fool if he did not get involved in such a business.
Andre laughed heartily. "I will immediately inform the elders of the family to hold an emergency meeting. You just have to wait for my good news."
Andre patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and said intimately, "You are unfamiliar with New York. Why don't you come over to my place for dinner tonight?"
It was a very important matter for Westerners to invite someone over for dinner. This meant that Andre had already treated Xia Fei as a friend.
"Not tonight. I still have other things to deal with. I will definitely visit another day."
Xia Fei tactfully rejected Andre's invitation because the batch of medicine and the Wind Eye Ring that he had ordered had already arrived, and he had more important things to do.
Andre enthusiastically arranged a hotel for Xia Fei and left a Lincoln limousine for Xia Fei to use. To the rich and imposing Rothschild Family, these things were not even worth mentioning.
Plaza Hotel, top floor, presidential suite.
Xia Fei locked himself in the bathroom. In front of him was a huge pile of various medicinal ingredients and a weird-shaped concoction vessel.
As expected of a presidential suite, the size of the bathroom was more than 60 square meters. It was even bigger than the one-bedroom apartment that Xia Fei used to live in. It was enough to concoct medicinal ingredients.
Concocting medicine is a very meticulous work. The degree of purification of every medicinal ingredient and the sequence in which they are purified are very important. If you make a mistake, reducing the medicinal properties is a small matter, but it might even cause an explosion. Phantom stood to the side and watched Xia Fei frantically purify all sorts of medicinal ingredients as he commented.
"These are just medicinal ingredients. How can they explode?" Xia Fei questioned.
"You should know that this is the secret of my lineage. It is based on the different characteristics of the medicinal ingredients to carry out the most precise concoction. The effect is far from what ordinary medicine can compare to."
"Different medicinal ingredients will have some mutually restraining relationship. For example, Blue Star Grass and Cold Moon Plum can be used individually to increase the speed of cell movement. However, when used together, it will be an extremely toxic poison. There is no antidote for it after consumption."
"If you purify the Blue Star Grass to 41%, then purify the Cold Moon Plum to 59%, and then add in the Summer Night Sour Plum with a purity of 73%, not only will the medicinal ingredients not be toxic, but the effect will also be 70% higher than the pure Blue Star Grass."
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. "Combining medicinal ingredients that are mutually restraining into a medicine is simply too crazy! If there is even the slightest mistake, wouldn't it all be over? "
Phantom said indifferently, "That's why I told you to be careful."
"Such a precise concoction method is truly radical. Isn't there a more gentle and common concoction method?" Xia Fei asked.
"Common? My lineage has never had such a word. No matter what you do, you must do it to the best. You have yet to truly come into contact with the society of the universe, so you don't know how cruel it is. Every warrior must do their best to improve themselves. There are plenty of people who are willing to pay with their lives just to improve by 1%. "
"If you want to establish yourself in the society of the strong, you must make yourself sufficiently strong. Only the strong will be respected; the weak have no right to speak. Using the words you taught me, the universe is a place where only the paranoid can survive. "
Following Phantom's instructions, seventeen bottles of different colors quickly appeared in the bathroom. Some were red, some were green, and some were purple. They were all arranged together, making for a beautiful sight.
"This is a primary cell activation potion made from seventeen different medicinal ingredients. After consuming it, it can greatly increase the vitality of the cells, thus achieving the goal of increasing the strength and toughness of the bones. This kind of medicine isn't too difficult to concoct. As long as you do as I say, I can guarantee your safety."
The concoction container had three different entrances, responsible for purification, mixing, and catalysis respectively.
The purification work was already done, and all that was left was the mixing and catalysis.
There was a display screen on the bottle that contained the medicine, and after entering the required quantity, the bottle would automatically adjust according to the set quantity when the medicine was placed into the mixing entrance. The precision could reach one ten-thousandth of a milliliter.
The timing of putting in the medicine also needed to be precisely controlled, such as what to put in first, what to put in later, and when to put in. There could not be a single error.
The medicine mixer let out a soft sound like a noisy bee, and one could tell that it was operating at a high speed inside.
After accurately putting the seven bottles of medicine into his mouth at the predetermined time, Xia Fei picked up the eighth bottle and carefully leaned over.
The green indicator light on the machine had just lit up when Xia Fei hurriedly poured the white medicine in.
