Chapter 54: Excitement
2102 Words
Qian Guang's audacity leaves people speechless. His words have already reached this point; if anyone comes out to question him now, they are clearly looking for trouble. However, I can't help but wonder, what kind of ability does Qian Guang have to gather a hundred million in a single day?
Seventh Master said, "Gentlemen's agreement, it's meaningless for everyone, I'll take charge of this matter. It's settled. Qian Guang, take out 100 million before midnight tomorrow. If you can't, sorry, if they don't deal with you, I will. A person who is untrustworthy deserves to be punished by everyone."
Qian Guang nodded and said, "I want all of Fat Pig Zhu's properties and management rights right now..."
"Of course..." Seventh Master said. After he finished speaking, he handed some documents to Ma Qing to give to Qian Guang.
Qian Guang said, "Thank you, Seventh Master. I won't let you down. I'll take my leave now."
Qian Guang turned around and walked away, then he turned back, looked at me, and said, "Brother Zhao Fei, aren't you leaving?"
I heard this and hurriedly stood up to leave, but Malan said, "Hostage, understand? If you run, we'll find him."
Malin's words left me stunned. She actually took me hostage?Am I worth a hundred million?Clearly not worth it, was she joking or what?I can't figure it out, but it seems like it should be a joke.
Qian Guang smiled and said, "I will come to redeem it..."
After he finished speaking, he gave me a determined look and then left with his people. I felt a bit uneasy. I looked around at the people, each of them glaring at me with fierce expressions. I felt like a little lamb facing these tigers alone, which was very frightening.
"Seventh Master, sorry to trouble you," Chen Xi said.
Seventh Master waved his hand and said, "If you really find it troublesome, then don't fight anymore. Thirty years of history have taught me that fighting will never bring wealth. Only by cooperating with each other can we make money. Money is just a concept; you few still don't understand it."
Chen Xi nodded and said, "Seventh Master is right, but this matter isn't our fault; it's because Qian Guang was too ruthless."
Seventh Master said, "In life, you can't be too ruthless. Fat Pig Zhu is a perfect example. Alright, you all go back. Tomorrow, if Qian Guang's money isn't in place, I'll deal with him."
"With Master Qi's words, we can rest assured," Chen Xi said. After he finished speaking, he stood up, and the other two also stood up. After bidding farewell to Master Qi, they left.
I watched them leave, finally feeling relieved, my tightly clenched fists finally relaxing. That was close, really close. If we hadn't reached an agreement, I probably would have been turned into minced meat today.
"Dad, Qian Guang is really smart. We estimated Fei Zhu Zhu's assets to be only 50 million, but the real market value and future prospects are definitely worth more than 50 million, at least 300 million. With more tourism projects opening in the future, there will definitely be more tourists. If we use Fei Zhu Zhu's bar and nightclub entertainment industry to get a loan from the bank, I think 70 million is not a problem. But he got the money, and
Hearing Ma Qing's words, I was a bit surprised. Her words were like a needle, immediately piercing through my doubts about Qian Guang. I was still worried about where Qian Guang was getting his money from, but it turns out it was like this, using his property to take out a loan...
Seventh Master said, "Qian Guang is a good person. Although he is too ruthless in his actions, he has principles. Moreover, he has seen through the fact that violence is not the right path. So, I want to help him out. After all, he's a young person, and helping him is always better than harming him."
Ma Qing nodded and said, "You want to find a successor, right?"
"Yeah, but I'd prefer to find a son-in-law..." Seventh Master said with a smile.
Seventh Master's words made Ma Qing smile, a bit shyly. We all knew what Seventh Master meant; he wanted to introduce Qian Guang to Ma Qing. I felt a slight twinge of jealousy in my heart. After all, for someone who admires a beautiful woman, it is a cruel thing to see her interested in another man.
Malan stood up and said, "Dad, I'm tired. I'm going back first..."
Seventh Master looked at Malan and said, "This is the last time. I don't want to see it happen again. You should learn from your sister, study hard, and not get involved in street matters."
Malin smiled and said, "Dad, I am who I am. I have qualities my sister can't match. She's very accomplished, but at least when it comes to playing with men, she'll never be able to compete with me."
Seventh Master glared at Malan and said, "Is this a virtue?"
Malan started to laugh and said, "I think it's..."
After she finished speaking, she grabbed me and pulled me away. Once we were out of the club, Malan leaned against the car, smoking and looking very annoyed. She said, "Why were you spying on my sister?"
I was a bit surprised when I heard it, and I said, "She's very beautiful, men can't help but look at her..."
Malan rolled her eyes at me and said, "Bitch..."
Her words made me want to laugh a bit. Why would she say that about her own sister? Anyway, I said, "Can I leave now? I have to go back to Kunming."
Malan said, "There are still thirty-two hours left. Come on, let's go have some fun and see how lucky you are. If it cheers me up, even if you lose all your money, I'll still keep you."
I looked at her, feeling very puzzled, and asked, "Why are you helping me? I'm just a kid..."
"Don't underestimate your own worth. If you can pick out a piece worth tens of millions from that pile of broken stones, you're not useless; you're a money tree. Let's go."
Malin's words gave me a lot of courage. Yes, I'm not useless; I'm a money tree...
Tengchong is full of hot springs and beautiful scenery. At night, Tengchong is even more breathtaking.Tengchong has long been a city renowned both domestically and internationally for its jade, producing a variety of precious jadeite and jade artifacts.
It is a famous historical site on the "Tea Horse Road," a necessary route for the caravans.
Speaking of gambling stones, the first gambling city is not Ruili, it should be Tengchong. It was only later that Ruili became the current holy land for gambling stones due to geographical changes. However, Tengchong is actually the true hometown of gambling stones.
However, I thought of the caravan and suddenly asked Malan, "What does the caravan have to do with you?"
Malan looked at me, sneered, and asked, "Do you know why so many people respect my dad?"
I frowned and said, "Is it related to the caravan?"
"Yes, the history of our family, forget it, it's useless to tell you. Tonight, I'm going to gamble, I'm going to gamble big, I'm going to have a blast. If you make me happy, I'll make you happy too. If you make me unhappy, I'll make you sad." Malan said excitedly.
I chuckled. Malan is a gambler and flirt, an unpredictable woman. She's generous but also petty, the kind of person who believes that if I treat you well, you must treat me well in return.
The car drove to the Tengchong jadeite gambling area. As soon as we entered, we saw that it was packed with people. Even though it was night, there were many tourists, and there were tour guides leading the way. In Tengchong, jadeite gambling has already formed an entire industry chain, with tour guides bringing people to gamble.
Here, there are countless jade and jadeite stones of all sizes, attracting countless tourists.Inside the shop, various sizes of rough stones are stacked on long tables divided by wooden grids, each marked with different prices for people to choose from.
Malan said, "What stone are you betting on?"
She said this while picking up a piece of material, saying, "Don't say anything yet, let me see if I can guess it..."
She took the material to pay, then queued to have the stone cut. It was soon her turn. She watched as the stone was cut open, but the master said there was no stock. Maran was very angry, took the waste material and asked me, "Why can't I tell if this material is good or bad?"
I smiled a little and ignored him. Does she really care about how to gamble with stones?She only cares about the result, what she means is to tell me that I can start.
I was sweeping the goods on the shelf, and first, I had to look at the market. The materials here are not very good, none from the old factory area, the best ones are from the Hojang area, all from new markets. I saw so many tourists, and very few of them were successful in gambling. I understood that they were using hunger marketing, relying on the crowd and selling at low margins. These are all tourists, how could they possibly spend tens of thousands or hundreds ofSo, the store only uses the new ingredients.
I said, "The materials here are all from the new market, it's very hard to bet on truly top-quality materials."
Malan smiled and said, "Then that's a real test of your skills."
I chuckled a bit; she's dead set on making me search for a needle in a haystack. If I don't give in to her, I probably won't have a good day today.
I continued to scan the materials, looking at the leather, the shape, and then weighing them, but nothing satisfied me. Malan followed behind me, not impatient, just watching. I thought she was quite patient.
Suddenly, I spotted a piece of material, it was a rough stone. I picked it up, weighed it in my hand, it was very heavy, the skin on the surface was very thin. I shone a light through it, it was very transparent, about four pounds or so. The materials from the back river are generally not very large.
I took the materials and went to the checkout counter, and I asked, "How much is it?"
The waiter said, "This is material from Hojang, you should know a bit about it. The larger the material from Hojang, the more valuable it is. This piece is over two kilograms, and our price is twenty thousand... Actually, you could try some smaller pieces, they are more cost-effective!"
Her demeanor was very polite, deliberately downplaying the expensive fabric. She thought I was a tourist who couldn't afford it, so she offered me smaller pieces. I smiled and said, "I'll take this one."
She asked me, a bit surprised, "Are you sure?"
I nodded, Maran took the card, handed it to her, then swiped it. I took the order and the stone, ready to cut, and Maran said, "You're so confident?"
I nodded and said, "This piece is very heavy, the skin is pale, delicate and smooth, with excellent translucence. Let's open a window first and see. If it has color, it's worth at least a hundred thousand..."
"Brand?" Malan looked at me strangely.
I said, "A 'paizi' is just a piece of jade. Betting on rough stones isn't just about the material inside; it has to be converted into finished products first. The priority is to bet on bangles, as the material that can be made into bangles is the most valuable. Next comes the 'paizi'."
She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. At this point, it was our turn. I handed the material to the master and pointed to the irregular triangular piece, saying, "Please make a window at the tip for me."
The master looked at the stone, studied it for a moment, said nothing, and then began to use a drill to open a window on the material. Soon, the sound of friction stopped. The master dipped some water and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, with this quality, this is a no-seed melon skin green material, worth at least 200,000..."
I felt very excited listening to it, and indeed, I made the right choice...
