Chapter 492 Those who don’t pay attention to the news
Bai An refused Lucia's request to do something big.
However, Berry was extremely attracted to the extinct Pokémon. After a purposeful conversation with Lucia, he learned that the extinct Pokémon was currently in Kaina City. They had the same destination, so the following scene happened.
Location: Kaena City
"Ahhhhh!!!" Lucia stared at Bai An who was surrounded by the crowd with wide eyes and exclaimed, somewhat confused as to what was going on.
Berry, who was also squeezed out by the crowd, asked: "Don't you know Bai An?"
"Ah? Should I know him? Is he some big star?"
Lucia was stunned by the question. She tried to think carefully about the few movies and TV series in her mind, but her brain suddenly crashed because of no results.
"Don't you follow the news? The recent disaster in Hoenn was solved by Bai An. He is the hero of Hoenn."
After what Berry said, Lucia seemed to have some impression. He seemed to glance at the big screen in the Pokémon Center, but didn't pay attention.
"Is this true? How old is he?
When I was his age, I used to carry a stingtail and stop passing trainers in the forest to make money!
This gap is too big..."
Lucia's face was full of disbelief, and then she was relieved: "Yes, people's starting points are always different."
Perhaps because he had seen it too many times, Lucia sighed and adjusted his mentality. He put his arm on Berry's shoulder and acted like a good brother:
"Are you really not going to do something big with me? That Pokémon is said to be extinct~"
After seeing through Bailey's heartbeat, Lucia chased after him: "I promise it's not a bad thing, on the contrary it's a good thing~"
"Good news?" Berry raised his eyebrows and became more excited.
"It's a good thing. That Pokémon was caught and auctioned off. Now it's suffering. Let's rescue it and release it back into nature. What a good thing~"
There was a sly gleam in Lucia's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised, making his face look like Zoroark at first glance.
"I'm not stupid……"
The helplessness in Berry's eyes could hardly be hidden. After all, he was an adult who worked hard on his own. How could he be fooled so easily?
What exactly gave Lucia the feeling that she was easy to fool?
After some fruitless persuasion, Lucia said goodbye. After all, time was running out.
That Pokémon will be auctioned tonight, so he has to go there early to check it out.
After all, he certainly couldn't afford to buy it, so he was planning to rob or steal.
Entering the auction house is just to confirm who bought this Pokémon.
At the same time, an ancient coelacanth in the water tank at the auction house silently shed tears: "An ancient coelacanth ancestor like me, has fallen to this point one day."
A man and a woman had this conversation in the office.
"how's it going?"
“Four large families have confirmed that they will be able to attend. King Bonnie has expressed some interest but does not have the free time. He clearly declined this morning.
There is no news about the semi-champion Mikoli and the current champion Daigo so far, and they will most likely not come.
According to known information, the final transaction price of this item is between 800-1200w. "
The woman adjusted her glasses. Although she was holding the information in her hand, she did not glance at it while she was narrating. It was obvious that she was already familiar with the information.
The man sitting there broke the pen in his hand as he listened, and his voice unconsciously rose: "That's all!?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, yes, but..."
The woman's tone was winding and her words were just enough to show that she wanted to wait for the man to ask.
"If you have to fart, do it now!" the man slammed the table.
"I just got the news that Bai An came to this island. Maybe he will become a variable."
The woman pushed her glasses up calmly and remained unperturbed.
"Bai An..." The man was lost in thought and couldn't figure out who this person was. After a long while, he said, "Is he rich?"
The woman was silent, and there was a moment of hesitation in her action of lifting her glasses: "Boss, you should read more news and pay attention to national affairs."
"What the hell, you're enough for me. Can you tell me he's rich?"
The woman sighed and said, "Yes, he is from Hezhong, and he is the young master of the largest merchant there."
"Wouldn't I have understood it if I had said it earlier?
Send someone to contact him and try to get him to attend the auction tonight!"
"Someone has already been sent. Also, Carlos has sent you an invitation letter for the eighth time."
The woman handed over a letter in her hand.
The man who took the letter did not open it, but casually twirled it with his fingers: "How is the investigation going?"
“They are very powerful. They have recruited all the black forces in the Kalos region except the Flare Team. They also accept hunters and poachers from other regions.
The Kalos Alliance has been in a state of panic because of them."
"Just pretend you didn't see anything. We are serious businessmen and we just want to make money honestly.
We are involved in gangs but never participate in them. This is our survival rule for long-term stability.
Just wait and see, this kind of person who sticks out will be wiped out within a year."
The man casually threw the invitation into the trash, crossed his legs and sighed: "Look at the world nowadays, it's not easy to make money."
"You are wise. You bought the ancient coelacanth for 20 yuan and sold it for several million yuan."
Although the woman did not say it explicitly, her meaning was self-evident.
The man who was being criticized took it as a normal thing and thought that the woman was praising him for his good taste. After all, not everyone has the ability to judge people.
"By the way, have you calculated the losses from this disaster?"
When talking about this issue, the woman opened the document in her hand:
"A total of 68 rare items were lost, 52 of which were stolen by looters, and the rest were damaged due to force majeure.
369 employees died, 58 were injured, and 112 Pokémon died.
21 of the “cargo” died and 136 escaped.
36 buildings collapsed and all underground shopping malls were crushed
......"
"Stop talking!" The man covered his chest to stop the woman: "I'm heartbroken, so heartbroken. A natural disaster took away half of the foundation I worked hard for most of my life."
“The houses and the casualties are all white formal industries, and the alliance will make a statement.
In fact, if you calculate carefully, the loss is not that big.”
"That's different. The house is mine after all. I should express my gratitude to those who were injured or killed. The alliance is the alliance, and I am me.
Some money cannot be saved.
Also, keep an eye on the prices of goods in the white goods industry, and don’t let villains do anything to harm you. In the face of disaster, you can only lose money, not make a windfall.”
"I have given the order, but there are a lot of casualties and we are short of manpower at the moment, so I cannot guarantee the execution."
……
Let's turn our attention to Bai An. After finally getting away from his fans, he met two sneaky people.
The two men were approaching with unknown objects in their hands, and were treated as suspicious persons by Juanlianyun, who used his superpowers to stop them three meters away from Bai An.
