Chapter 1272 It’s Time to Go to London to Spend Money
Looking down, I saw the name of the ferryman, but the reputation he contributed was only 120 points.
Damn, I destroyed your island, your laboratory, and got rid of your pursuit of me in India, and I also killed one of your capable men.
And Cass's heir obviously didn't know the existence of the ferryman, which means that the ferryman's control over the Indian consortium is probably much weaker than before.
Shi Lei also indirectly killed a woman of the ferryman - although she committed suicide, the ferryman couldn't know this.
Adding up so many things, the ferryman, you only contributed 120 points of reputation?
Are you a vegetarian? Or have you converted to God? Are you going to give up your plan?
This is not normal!
Shi Lei was puzzled, his head was almost broken, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Unknowingly, the plane began to slowly descend, and soon landed at the London airport.
When passing the customs, Shi Lei was still upset about the ferryman's contribution of only such a small amount of reputation. He originally thought that this time, this guy would contribute at least more than 2,000 points. At least 1,000 points, but in the end, it was only 120 points.
After leaving the airport, the car that Shi Lei had booked online had already driven over.
This was a Jaguar, equipped with a driver, and the cost per day was 200 pounds.
After getting in the car, Shi Lei reported a hotel name. The driver drove the car steadily, and Shi Lei closed his eyes and continued to think about this problem.
Of course, he knew that the ferryman could not change easily, and there was no reason to change.
The reason why the ferryman contributed so little this time was probably related to the ferryman's next move.
The ferryman will definitely take some action against Shi Lei, which is even related to the assassination in India. The assassination in India is only part of the action. In the reputation system, this is considered an unfinished matter. Therefore, although the ferryman should have accumulated a lot of emotions and should have generated a lot of reputation, it has not yet been reflected.
Moreover, the name of the ferryman appeared at the end of the details of the increase in reputation value this time, which means that the increase in reputation value from the ferryman was actually the earliest.
At that time, I am afraid that Shi Lei had just landed on the island at most, and he had not even been able to convince Xu Zhida, nor had he let Manda betray him and then commit suicide.
This increase in reputation value is probably just the normal hatred of the ferryman towards Shi Lei.
However, there has been no movement from Wei Bodhi. Although there has been contact for more than a month, let alone the next move of the ferryman, even Manda told Shi Lei that the ferryman needed a lot of funds, Wei Bodhi did not find any clues.
The ferryman has been unusually calm during this period, and the four consortiums are just carrying out their regular operations in an orderly manner. The amount of money received by the online casino is even much less than before.
"Has this guy really given up?" Shi Lei could only think so.
The driver stopped the car, turned around, and said politely: "Sir, we have arrived at the hotel. I will always be nearby. Call me directly when you need a car." As he said that, he also handed Shi Lei a personal business card.
Shi Lei suddenly woke up, opened the door and got out of the car. The driver helped him carry the suitcase and handed it to the hotel waiter.
After completing the check-in procedures, Shi Lei entered the hotel room. He called Sun Yiyi and told her that he came to London.
Sun Yiyi was surprised, but also very happy. She said: "Why are you in London again? I am ready not to see you for at least half a year this time."
This sentence made Shi Lei suddenly realize that he might come to London often in the future. It seems that it is time to buy a suite and a car in London.
After all, London is also included in the scope of Shi Lei's permanent residence.
However, there is certainly no problem with buying a car, but buying a house belongs to the category of city copies, unless Shi Lei does not intend to put this house in his own name, but in the name of, for example, Sun Yiyi, which can be used as a gift for the consumption of people with sufficient intimacy.
If he wanted to put it in his own name, he would have to wait until Shi Lei reached level 5 and opened the city dungeons of the two cities again.
The house he bought in the imperial capital before was considered as a consumption of the city dungeon, while the house he bought in Xicheng was a gift to his parents.
Since real estate can be consumed repeatedly, this means that Shi Lei can no longer buy another house for his parents in the entire world, unless he sells the house in Xicheng.
If Shi Lei must buy a property in London, he can indeed do it by buying it and then putting it in Sun Yiyi's name, but Shi Lei can't do it, at least not for the time being.
It's not that Shi Lei is reluctant to spend money on Sun Yiyi, but he now has three women. If he buys a house for one of them, he must consider the feelings of the other two women.
Otherwise, if the house is put in Sun Yiyi's name, even if Wei Xingyue actually owns the villa in the imperial capital, what will Song Miaomiao, who is also in London, think?
Shi Lei's next credit line is only 100 million yuan. Excluding the interest-free loan for the apartment in the capital that he needs to repay and the 30 million yuan share of non-income-generating investments, Shi Lei only has 50 million yuan left to deploy.
Fifty million is obviously not enough to buy a suite for each of the three women. After all, Shi Lei can't buy them an apartment, right? Besides, this doesn't fit in with Shi Lei's way of maximizing consumption.
Shi Lei is sure that the gift cannot be done with a loan. Deferred consumption seems to be limited to him and cannot be given as a gift. If the gift constitutes deferred consumption, then the loan part may need to be repaid by Shi Lei with his own funds in the future.
What worries Shi Lei even more is that he and Sun Yiyi, Wei Xingyue and Song Miaomiao have reached a 100% intimacy. After reaching 100%, these three women have the right to help him consume directly. And once they help him consume, if they buy houses for them, it may become repeated consumption when they encounter real estate.
In the case that Shi Lei does not have enough compensation capacity, Shi Lei does not dare to try it easily.
Therefore, Shi Lei decided to postpone the house. Even if he wants to buy, he has to wait until the quota is large enough to buy a house for all three women at once without taking out a loan. At the same time, Shi Lei needs to have enough independent funds in his hands. If these consumptions are identified as repeated consumption, Shi Lei also has enough ability to make up for the money.
Anyway, it won’t be too far away. When he reaches level 5, the quota will be enough. After completing the black card mission, Shi Lei’s independent funds will never be in short supply again.
Shi Lei decided that three days later, when he entered a new quota cycle and the quota was refreshed, he would buy a car in London.
Seeing that Shi Lei didn’t speak for a long time, Sun Yiyi shouted strangely on the phone: "Brother Shi, what’s wrong with you?"
