Merlin’s offhand remark caused Christian’s face to darken.
However, he did not react and he simply raised his cup of wine slightly and took a large sip before he smacked his lips and said lightly, 'The idiot that you've just mentioned is me.”
Merlin was dumbfounded as he looked at Christian and blurted out, "F*ck! What the hell! Did someone deceive you?”
’’No." Christian waved his hand and laughed mockingly at himself under the influence of the wine as he said, "No one was cheating me. I was the one who gave the f*cking price of three hundred and seventy billion US dollars, and I even knelt down on the spot in front of them but they did not sell it to me and they even kicked me out of the auction venue."
Merlin felt that his perception had been completely subverted and he subconsciously asked, "What medicine is it ...why did you offer three hundred and seventy billion US dollars for it? What kind of concept is three hundred billion US dollars? Even the market value of Alibaba today is only 292.8 billion US dollars. That means to say that you won't even be able to get the medicine even if you were to trade in the entire Alibaba for it?"
Christian said very seriously, "It cannot be exchanged. I would have exchanged it long ago if it can be exchanged. It did not even matter if my last name was Acker."
After saying that, Christian looked at Merlin and asked curiously, "You’re a police officer so why are you so interested in stocks? Investing in stocks?"
Merlin smiled and shrugged it off as he said, "Don't f eking mention it. I had some savings on hand and I bought shares from the company. So far, I've already lost more than half of it."
Christian scolded him, "F*ck! You should've told me if you are investing in stocks. I can casually give you some information and you’re guaranteed to make a few times the profit, regardless of whether it's for the short or long term!"
Merlin said seriously, "You know me. I don't have much money but I'm a righteous man. Besides that, I am a federal police officer. If I were to rely on inside information to invest in stocks, then that would mean that I’m knowingly breaking the law and the FBI will investigate me." "That’s true." Christian shook his head and sighed as he said, "I told you a long time ago not to become a police officer. There is no point to it but you simply refuse to listen to me."
Merlin waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about me. Let's talk about your medicine. What kind of medicine is it? Could it really be worth three hundred billion US dollars?"
