Second gold medal

  "Yes, with your brother's abilities, he definitely has the capability to provide emerald supplies to the Lin family." After finishing speaking, she sat up from bed and gazed at Zhang Jun, filled with a grateful expression. "If it wasn't for you, I might have already agreed to Xu Bo's marriage proposal today."

  "Sister refused?" His eyes lit up and he visibly let out a sigh of relief.

  "Now that I've found a new way out, I don't have to look at people's faces anymore. Tonight's banquet, I was completely stress-free and relaxed, and unexpectedly even closed several deals. Xu Bo saw my performance and thought the Lin family had a new partner, so he didn't dare to pressure me too much, and even agreed to sign a six-month supply contract with the Lin family."

  Zhang Jun nodded and said: "Once we have enough capital, the source of goods is not a problem, and we can also meet the needs of your Lin family."

  Lin Xian smiled lightly and said, "When I was 15 years old, my father divided my property, which is about 500 million. I have decided to invest all this money in our company, and I want to make the company bigger and stronger in a short period of time."

  "Alright, while sister is preparing the shop, I will think of a way to get more wool and make up the 500 million capital." Zhang Jun said. The cash and jade he had were still far from reaching 500 million, it was necessary to earn some more money.

  Lin Xian waved her hand and said, "You're too polite, little brother. I invested 500 million and still only hold half of the shares, with no other requirements."

  Zhang Jun was taken aback, then hastily shook his head: "This won't do, sister is being taken advantage of."

  "Alright, you're the key person in this company. Don't mention 500 million, even 5 billion can't compare to your worth." She said with a smile, "Don't argue with me about this, it's settled like this."

  Seeing Lin Xian's persistence, Zhang Jun also gave up. However, he secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to go to the Stone Festival again, buy more materials, and take revenge on Xu Bo.

  Lin Xian fell asleep, and Zhang Jun walked out of the bedroom. Li Hu, who was waiting outside, let out a long sigh of relief when he saw him come out.

  At the same time, in a luxurious villa by the East Sea, Xu Bo's face was gloomy and his mood was extremely unpleasant. At today's banquet, he expressed his intention to marry Lin Xian, but who would have thought that not only did she show no signs of acceptance, but also had an expression that rejected him from afar.

  This result made him feel unexpected and extremely annoyed. He couldn't help but think, could it be that the Lin family had found a new partner, so they were so cold to the Xu family?

  Out of caution, he had to promise to sign a one-year supply contract with the Lin family. The other members of the Feicui gang also signed contracts with the Lin family after seeing Xu Bo's performance.

  Tonight's goal was not achieved, and his mood had already been very bad. What made him even more furious was that those who were sent to deal with Zhang Jun did not return, had something unexpected happened?

  Just as he was about to send someone out to investigate, his mobile phone rang. After answering it, a gloomy and cold voice came from the other end of the line: "Xu Bo, I'm Zhang Wu, you've offended a big shot!"

  As soon as he heard the two words "Zhang Wu", Xu Bo's heart tightened, and when he heard that he had offended a big shot, his face changed color. In Donghai City, both the underworld and the officialdom knew Zhang Wu's name, he was a legend.

  Xu Bo also knew Zhang Wu's great name and understood the horror of this person. Zhang Wu's life can be called legendary, if his life experience is written down, it can definitely be written into a brilliant and thrilling bestseller.

  Fifteen years ago, a sixteen-year-old youth who called himself Zhang Wu entered Donghai City. At that time, Donghai City was still far from the prosperity of today and could not be considered an international metropolis.

  Young Zhang Wu, relying on his extraordinary martial arts skills, was able to establish himself in Donghai within just one year. During this time, many prominent figures in the area fell under his fists and feet, their families ruined and their homes destroyed.

  Ten years later, Zhang Wu had become the king of the underground world in Donghai. He also had a few hundred followers by his side to help him conquer the world. At that time, 60% of the nightclubs and more than half of the bath centers in Donghai belonged to Zhang Wu.

  In the following five years, Zhang Wu also started doing real estate, opening hotels and trading, accumulating a huge amount of wealth in a short period. At the same time, he gradually whitewashed himself, transforming into a successful person with a halo.

  Up to now, under the banner of Zhang Wu's Yiqi Group, there are three five-star hotels, two high-end office buildings, a bathing center, two nightclubs, and a large shopping mall, with total assets reaching tens of billions.

  If it were just a matter of money, Xu Bo wouldn't be afraid of him. The Xu family wasn't short on money either and was also a wealthy and powerful clan. What he feared was Zhang Wu's background and methods. Rumors from the Jianghu said that this man had hundreds of lives on his hands and was a ruthless killer with the nickname "Butcher".

  After a brief astonishment, Xu Bo forced himself to calm down and said in a low voice: "So it's Fifth Master! What do you mean by this, Fifth Master?"

  Xu Bo had stayed in Donghai for quite some time and naturally got to know Zhang Wu. However, he didn't dare address him as "Zhang Wu", but instead respectfully called him "Wu Ye".

  Zhang Wu snorted: "Stop pretending, you little brat, are you going to deal with a young man named Zhang Jun?"

  Xu Bo was taken aback for a moment, Zhang Jun? Could it be that this kid has something to do with Zhang Wu? His mind turned extremely fast, knowing that he couldn't hide such things from the other party. He made a swift decision and directly admitted, "Fifth Master, there is indeed some misunderstanding between me and Zhang Jun."

  "Alright, I'll tell you straight out. You can't touch Zhang Jun. If you dare to make a move, don't blame me for being ruthless and heartless, disregarding our past relationship." Zhang Wu said coldly, his words sharp and final.

  Xu Bo clenched his teeth in secret, but said with a smile: "Since Fifth Master has given the order, I naturally won't make things difficult for him. After all, there's no shortage of hatred."

  "Alright, you're on the right track. Tomorrow at Jindragon Hotel, come and take a walk." Zhang Wu said, then directly hung up the phone.

  Xu Bo's face was extremely gloomy, he understood that his subordinates were probably taken down by Zhang Wu. He never thought that Zhang Jun, who was like an ant in his eyes, would have such a strong background and could invite Zhang Wu to come out of the mountain.

  "Damn it!" He kicked over the chair beside him in a fit of rage.

  Zhang Jun swindled 30 million yuan worth of rough stones from his hands, which made him very angry. He originally wanted to get rid of this small fry and take back the rough stones, but he kicked an iron plate instead.

  "Hmph! There's plenty of time ahead, I'll get him back later!" He thought viciously to himself, "Once I leave Donghai, I'll make him pay!"

  Zhang Jun didn't know that the crisis had been temporarily averted. He left the hotel early, hastily ate some street food, and then through an intermediary company, recruited fifteen laborers and five trucks.

  After everything was ready, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning. The Jade Stone Festival had just started business. He led fifteen people into the wool exhibition hall and began to buy jade rough stones wildly.

  The four exhibition areas of wool, he had seen yesterday, roughly remembered the situation, so this time the selection was much easier, with a strong target. Piece by piece of wool was selected and then moved directly to the car by his labor.

  The hall manager was worried that this big business would easily go wrong, so he followed Zhang Jun's footsteps and saw one piece after another of stone being moved away by Zhang Jun's men. He said, "Sir, the organizer provides free logistics services, you don't have to bother."

  Zhang Jun said, "Never mind, you just take the money, I'll handle the rest myself."

  Previously, Zhang Jun had been very low-key in his actions to avoid drawing attention to himself and only bought a few dozen high-yield raw stones. Unexpectedly, he still fell victim to Xu Bo's secret plot. Now that he has seen through it, since the enemy is ruthless, I will not be benevolent either, so I might as well thoroughly search for all the valuable raw stones in this place once and for all.

  Zhang Jun was resentful of Xu Bo in his heart, so he took action without mercy. As long as he saw a raw stone worth more than five times the marked price, he would buy it all up, not leaving a single piece behind, until he spent all his money.

  He estimated that District D had about 15,000 stones on display, District C had about 5,000, District B had around 1,000, and District A had only 500. The total price of all the stones was approximately 3.5 billion.

  However, in reality, if all these wool products were to be sold separately, the total price would not exceed 15 billion. The difference between the two is a staggering 20 billion. This is precisely why merchants want to hold the Jade Stone Festival - to maximize profits, rather than promote the so-called Jade Stone culture.

  These jade materials all come from Myanmar. It has to be admitted that the other side has the most knowledgeable people in the world, and when the raw stone is mined, they will make a judgment at the first time.

  Experts will use a high-power magnifying glass to pick out the mineral composition on the original stone with a fine needle, and then analyze the value of the original stone, and conduct preliminary screening. Such careful selection has resulted in the quality of the original stones flowing out of Myanmar being very poor.

  Zhang Jun this time searched, from District D picked out more than 300 pieces of stone, District C selected over 80 pieces, District B had 12 pieces, and District A had 2 pieces. Unlike the first time, he didn't let go of any semi-finished materials this time.

  The profit that can be earned from semi-gambling materials is usually very small, but there are always exceptions. Some semi-gambling materials have a different kind of inner world, and once they are fully opened up, the value of the material increases tenfold.

  In the end, he bought more than 400 pieces of wool fabric today, spending 11.6 million yuan. These more than 400 pieces of fabric basically swept away the most valuable ones in this market, leaving only those that could at most appreciate five or six times in value.

  This is still limited by the funds he brought, otherwise the number of stones acquired would be several times more.

  After moving the stones onto the truck, Zhang Juncai dialed Lin Xian's phone and said with a smile: "Sister, I still need to borrow your family's warehouse."

  When Lin Xian rushed to the scene, she saw hundreds of stones piled up on the car and exclaimed: "Younger brother, no wonder you got up so early, it turns out that you went to buy stones again."

  Zhang Jun winked at her, and they both smiled tacitly.

  The stone was placed in the previous warehouse, and the original materials were put together. Lin Xian and Zhang Jun discussed it and decided to represent the Lin family to buy part of the jadeite. This move kills two birds with one stone, on the one hand, Zhang Jun can take out cash, on the other hand, it also meets the Lin family's demand for jadeite.

  This matter was extremely confidential, so Zhang Jun decided to wipe the goods clean first and then sell them to the Lin family, in order to avoid suspicion. If he were to take out a batch of uncleaned smuggled goods, they would not be able to fetch a high price, and no one would dare buy them.

  Most of the big buyers generally buy directly jade rough, at most they will also buy half-gambling material. As for full-gambling materials, they rarely get involved.

  Zhang Jun stayed in the warehouse for a whole day, during which Lin Xian personally served him water and food. The two of them were busy until midnight, and finally managed to wipe out only eighty or ninety stones from the window.

  Zhang Jun's arms were so tired that they felt soft and almost couldn't be lifted. However, when he saw those pieces of material with thick green jade, he felt it was all worth it.

  What's most exciting is Lin Xian, every time Zhang Jun wipes out a piece of material, she estimates its value. She finally calculated that the value of more than 80 pieces of jadeite exceeded 200 million! That is to say, these more than 400 pieces of material, conservatively estimated, can also be sold for over 1 billion.

  "Alas, little brother, I still can't believe all this. You're basically picking up money." Lin Xian was filled with emotion. To think that the Lin family's assets were over tens of billions, and their monthly profit was only 70-80 million at most. Yet Zhang Jun had earned over a billion yuan in just two or three days, which was simply a miracle.
