Chapter 1208 Black Card Funding Source

After the mission was released, the scepter naturally disappeared from Shi Lei's mind.

This conversation tonight allowed Shi Lei to obtain 12 million yuan of independent funds and 5 billion US dollars of funds required for the mission.

Of course, this huge amount of money will not appear in Shi Lei's account now. Shi Lei believes that even if there is a need to use this money in the future, Heika will definitely set up a completely legal way to give him this money.

After all, whether it is 10,000 or 100 million, it will not cause an imbalance in the monetary system. Even if Shi Lei advances to the next level and reaches 1 billion per cycle, it seems that a lot of money will not have a big impact on the monetary system of this society.

Moreover, Shi Lei believes that this money will never come out of thin air, and Heika will not be stupid enough to directly modify the amount of Shi Lei's bank card. Although Shi Lei does not know where the money Heika gave him was remitted from, and he cannot find the source, this does not mean that Heika has opened a money printing factory.

According to Shi Lei's estimation, Black Card must have stored a large amount of money by some means, or simply controlled some very profitable consortiums indirectly like the ferryman.

Even the ferryman, who had been in the Dark Night Eye for twenty years, could actually own four consortiums. The leader of the Dark Night Eye, Bebela, was simply a clone created by Black Card. There was no reason why Black Card could not indirectly control some investment groups.

Black Card had undoubtedly given Shi Lei a lot of money, but if you count carefully, so far, even with this new credit cycle, it was only more than 300 million, less than 350 million.

According to a more reasonable trajectory, Shi Lei still needs at least two or three credit cycles to upgrade to level five, and then he will have to face a consumption of 1 billion in each credit cycle. But even so, completing the entire level five is at most 10 billion. In fact, Shi Lei cannot persist in any level for ten cycles, which means that when Shi Lei completes all the consumption of level five, the money he can get from Black Card is only a few billion RMB.

The word "just for use" seems a bit cruel, but for a huge monetary system, a few billion RMB is really nothing.

Not to mention that Black Card must have its own way of making money. Even if it doesn't, it's just a few billion more. Compared with China's GDP of more than 70 trillion RMB a year, it's really nothing, just the daily turnover of a small promotional event of Ali.

However, these are given in batches and are unlikely to attract too many people's attention.

However, if Black Card really takes out 5 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 30 billion RMB, to Shi Lei, this will obviously still cause big problems in a local area.

The reason why Shi Lei offered such a price was to test Black Card. He must thoroughly verify that Black Card's money is not a simple change in numbers, but has its source and channel.

Since the scepter promised Shi Lei, Shi Lei knew that Black Card's funds must be fine.

Perhaps, finding out the source of Black Card's funds will also be of great help in ending the so-called contract with Black Card.

Black Card is a program after all. It covers all aspects, but it is difficult to truly understand human thinking.

No matter how it calculates, it is impossible for it to know that Shi Lei bargains with it. All its purposes are to test its source of funds and find ways to get rid of it.

In addition to this, the reason why Shi Lei wants to determine a price instead of letting Black Card freely say unlimited funds is that Shi Lei hopes to have more funds.

He has begun to find that Black Card seems to be intentionally or unintentionally helping himself, or helping the human beings on this earth to improve the level of science and technology. This is verified from the fact that Shi Lei invested in Ding Yu's research institute, and Black Card can actually allow him to directly upgrade to Level 4.

The reason why Black Card allows Shi Lei to directly upgrade to Level 4 is to invest in leading technology. There is no doubt that Black Card is hinting something to Shi Lei.

Shi Lei does not think that the batch of 23 calligraphy and painting works can be bought directly with money. If those things really come out, they are undoubtedly art treasures that no country can give up.

Under this premise, buying with money is almost a joke.

Unless these 23 works were dug out from the basement of a poor guy's house, he would not know the value of these things, and it would be impossible for an ordinary person to ask for a huge amount of money in exchange for these things.

Shi Lei recalled his state two years ago. If he had accidentally obtained such a batch of art treasures at that time, he would definitely want to take them for himself. And the purpose of taking them for himself was, of course, to cash them out.

However, any of these calligraphy and paintings that appeared in this world would probably cause a sensation worldwide, and there is a great possibility that they would be directly confiscated by the country where they are located.

Of course, confiscation is just a saying. No country would be so stupid as to not pay any price when facing such a treasure.

However, since it is confiscated and nationalized, the price that can be paid is minimal.

Ten million? Or one hundred million? In short, this is not a sum that can directly turn a person from a civilian into a super rich person.

Under such a premise, if someone knew that he had obtained such a batch of art treasures, and offered to buy them all for, say, 300 million US dollars, Shi Lei believed that no matter how ignorant and arrogant that person was, he would certainly accept it.

On the one hand, he was faced with the fact that people knew that he had a lot of wealth, which would cause endless troubles, and on the other hand, someone was willing to give him 300 million US dollars. This choice was not difficult to answer.

And even if that person was really stupid enough to extort more money from Shi Lei, Shi Lei was fully confident that he could take some necessary measures to get the calligraphy and paintings from that person.

Shi Lei certainly never thought of really taking the calligraphy and paintings for himself. This was something he would never dare to do even if he had a net worth of over 100 billion. This was a great offense.

In the conversation with the Scepter, Shi Lei even thought of this. If he really got the calligraphy and paintings, after handing them over to Black Card for research, the calligraphy and paintings would completely belong to him. He would definitely find a suitable opportunity to donate them directly to the country. Even if he donated them anonymously, Shi Lei didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Shi Lei already had enough troubles. He couldn't handle it with just one black card. If he really wanted to get so many works of top artists, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Shi Lei set a price that would not make black card feel embarrassed when he finally gave him the reward. After all, black card must be able to find a reasonable and legal way to give Shi Lei billions of dollars.

After thinking it over, Shi Lei got up and went back to the house.

It's really time to go to bed.

However, when Shi Lei just lay down on the bed, he suddenly remembered that the damn scepter hadn't given him the tools to perform the task!

Shi Lei immediately turned over and sat up, making a loud noise, even waking up Sun Yiyi next to him.

Sun Yiyi rubbed her eyes in a daze, looked at Shi Lei with a blank face, and said, "Brother Shi, you haven't slept yet?"

Shi Lei said, "I went to the bathroom just now, and I was about to go to bed when I came back, but I suddenly remembered something... Did I wake you up?"

As he spoke, Shi Lei reached out and gently touched Sun Yiyi's little face.
