Chapter 463: This Moment Has Finally Arrived!
Facing this scale of squandering, the entire Heavenly State went insane. To the ordinary people, someone who was able to invest two billion in a school was definitely at the peak in history. Three hundred years before and three hundred years after, there would definitely be no one who could surpass Hong Dali in squandering. Perhaps, three hundred years was an understatement…
Schools, regardless of whether they were from the government or private, the school fees for each student per year were at most one or two thousand yuan. Even if New Lanxiang could enroll twenty thousand students, they could only get thirty or forty million yuan of school fees. But Hong Dali had invested two billion! Although Hong Dali had a miraculous reputation of earning a large sum of money instead of losing when he squandered, this time, his actions triggered the discussions among the entire Heavenly State. New Lanxiang became the hottest topic.
In just two days, Xinhai Weibo was filled with topics on New Lanxiang. The videos about New Lanxiang Vocational School on So Cool video-sharing website were widely spread. There were even bored users leaving such conclusions—
“Go to New Lanxiang if you want to learn about technology. It’s a good place for learning technology. Eight thousand stainless steel beds and two thousand female students with good skills!”
In an instant, New Lanxiang Vocational School became well-known throughout the country.

Hong Dali official Tieba forum.
“Young Master is exceptionally generous. Investing two billion in a school, it’s over the top extravagant!”
“When is Young Master ever not generous? I”m used to it. If Young Master spends less, then I’d feel uneasy!”
“Replying to the user on top, he’s breaking through the sky this time. Especially the lackey which beat the three-time Karate champion. Watching it made my heart race!”
“For Young Master, Dali Creates Miracles!”
…
The news about New Lanxiang Vocational School was all over Heavenly State. Naturally, people outside of Heavenly State heard of the news as well.
“New Lanxiang Vocational School, I thought it was just an ordinary vocational school until I met the scale of Young Master Hong Dali’s squandering skills. I believe that in no time, New Lanxiang Vocational School will become one of the top schools in the world—of course, that is referring to its hardware equipment and faculties.”—Merika’s “Vogue” magazine.
“New Lanxiang Vocational School is a magical place. In fact, after I returned from the school, I still think that it’s a place where they groom professional assassins. Of course, its other purpose is a place for squandering. God, if accordingly to Young Master Hong Dali, the teachers’ wages will be as high as 2 billion US dollars!”—Merika’s “Education Weekly.”
“Can you imagine a one-to-one teaching scene? The real competition—there are 20% more teachers than students. Teachers who don’t get students to teach will be laid off!”—Merika’s “World Affairs.”
“I have never seen such a wastrel. New Lanxiang Vocational School’s Culinary Arts uses ingredients of the best quality! Do you know that the ingredients that Young Master Hong Dali requires New Lanxiang Vocational School’s Culinary Arts students to use are ingredients that all professional chefs dream of using! My god, I think I should travel to Heavenly State to apply for a teacher position tomorrow. That’s a good idea.”—World “Masterchef” magazine.
“Alright, for a prodigal son who requests the simulation of a car accident scene, anything else I say pales in comparison—from now on, Young Master Hong Dali is my idol. No one else squanders better than him, but I like it!”—Merika’s “Foppish Lord.”
“I did not manage to keep Jaban empire’s honor. I have indeed let down the people of the Jaban empire. But why does the topic revolves around the size of my privates?”—Tragedy of the three-time karate champion Adachi Yūya.
Without a doubt, these were the evaluations of the New Lanxiang Vocational School by the world’s top entertainment magazines. They were really shocked after seeing the means of Hong Dali’s squandering. It seems that news of this super prodigal buying two aircraft carriers at once was not an exaggeration but true!
Hence, with these reports on mainstream media, the New Lanxiang Vocational School soon became a tourist attraction. Especially after Hong Dali spoke about the one-on-one teaching method and that the teachers’ annual salary would be 200,000.
One must understand that the exchange rate for yuan to US dollars was just 1:1.2. An annual salary of 200,000 yuan was not a small amount. As a result, foreigners of all nationalities and various races came to apply for the job. The popularity of this sci-fi town at Tianjing Mountain was growing at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye…
…
Inevitably, some people were anxious, some people were happy, and some people would sing a different tune.
Shanghai Tianhai, in Shiroishi Kazuma’s secret apartment.
“Mr. Shiroishi, good news, good news!” Sun Yuanzhou, one of the five giants of the Resource Chamber of Commerce, rushed into the room and shouted, “Good news, this is definitely good news!”
“Mr. Sun, what got you so excited.” Shiroishi Kazuma was pale. His multiple battles with Hong Dali had sapped all his vigor. He was finally able to get some rest and had recovered some of his strength. Hearing Sun Yuanzhou, his eyes lit up and he anxiously asked, “Regarding Hong Dali?”
Sun Yuanzhou laughed and said, “Yes, regarding Hong Dali! I have been following the news about him recently. I heard that he is intending to invest two billion on New Lanxiang Vocational School. Two billion! The Hong Family is only worth so much! Mr. Shiroishi, this is a great opportunity. All things aside, Hong Dali’s cash flow is completely stuck this time!”
“Really? Are you speaking the truth?!” Shiroishi Kazuma felt an energy rush at once. He took off his blanket and came down from his bed anxiously. As he was still weak, Qian Youjin went forward to support him. Shiroishi Kazuma said, “Quick, where is the news? Show it to me! News, I want accurate news!”
His recent plans of assassinating Hong Dali with Toyoda Conglomerate’s head, Tarō Gohon, had failed. Shiroishi Kazuma was getting anxious. He was not someone who was willing to stay still while leaving things up to fate. His philosophy was that everything should be firmly controlled in his own hands.
As long as Hong Dali was alive, Shiroishi Kazuma would not let his guard down.
On the surface, Shiroishi Kazuma would not just wait for the triads to carry out the assassination. He had to make other arrangements. Whether or not the assassination of Hong Dali was successful, Shiroishi Kazuma had to do what he had to do.
Soon, Sun Yuanzhou came back with the notebook and browsed to the page with news on Hong Dali and the New Lanxiang Vocational School. When Shiroishi Kazuma had finished reading all the news reports, he let out a chuckle.
“Hahahaha! An opportunity! This is our best chance!” Shiroishi Kazuma fiercely pounded on the table with a “Kuang” sound. His hands were numb from the shock, but he couldn’t care less. He said excitedly, “Two billion! Two billion thrown in. Hahaha! Although he doesn’t have to come up with two billion at once, this wastrel Hong Dali is getting too smug! He will not stop squandering on other stuff! Investing two billion in a school, I can’t wait to see how you are going to recover this investment!”
Qian Youjin nodded and smiled. “Indeed. Hong Dali has been too smug. Mr. Shi, he won’t stay still after investing two billion. I heard he bought two aircraft carriers—those are money-wasting machines!”
“That’s right.” Shiroishi Kazuma vigorously nodded. “The annual maintenance cost of the aircraft carriers are at least 100 million. That may not be a big deal for him, but the problem is that the aircraft carriers he bought are empty shells! They have bodies but there are no workable functions! It’s no different from a toy. But knowing his character, the two aircraft carriers will be transformed, and that will cost a large sum of money!”
“Yes, yes.” Sun Yuanzhou agreed. “Mr. Shiroishi, you mean…”
“Wait for two more days. When Hong Dali has prepared the money to squander on the aircraft carriers, he is sure to empty all of the Hong Family’s cash flow!” Shiroishi Kazuma’s eyes shone as he said, “Without cash flow, things will be much easier!”
“But Mr. Shiroishi,” Sun Yuanzhou thought about it and suddenly said, “The problem is, Hong Weiguo, Mu Tie, and Liu Yihui—the three largest Internet companies within Heavenly State—have formed an alliance. If Hong Family runs out of cash flow, there is still the other two families. What should we do then?”
“That’s nothing to worry about. In fact, that’s what we want!” There was a glimmer in Shiroishi Kazuma’s eyes. He was obviously a little excited. He coughed and slowly said, “Since they have formed an alliance, the foundation is bound to be Hong Dali. If I’m not wrong, all three families fully support Hong Dali and his projects. Each family owns 33% of the shares, with Hong Dali taking the remaining 1%. So now, when Hong Dali squanders, the three families are sure to fork out money together. Considering the scale of Hong Dali’s spending, he will empty all three families’ funds in no time.”
Hearing that, Sun Yuanzhou blinked his eyes and asked, “At that time, Mr. Shiroishi, you are thinking of…”
“Real estate!” Shiroishi Kazuma sneered and said calmly, “Without cash flow, and with Hong Dali blinded by the aircraft carriers, our next step will be to go into real estate. It’s time to do something about the land that Young Master Gohon spent eight billion on.”
“Yes, I understand.” Sun Yuanzhou said, “I will continue to monitor Hong Dali and will inform you if there are any news!”
“Yes. Thank you, Mr. Sun.”
Sun Yuanzhou exited Shiroishi Kazuma’s room and sneered. He mumbled, “This moment has finally arrived, haha!”
