Making money business
"Older brother, Zhou Li brought a little ghost today, do you know what a ghost is? Bullets can't hurt that thing, what will you use to protect me? If you have anything to ask me, just call me directly, if I stay in Kunming any longer, my life might not be guaranteed."
Jin Haicheng fell silent for a moment, probably also feeling that what I said was reasonable, and agreed with my approach. He also told me that if there's anything, I must tell him.
。
I hastily agreed and asked him to help me with the aftermath, then released the dragonfly to the landlady's wife to resolve the Gu poison, and rushed out of the house in a hurry.
I deliberately found a small hotel near the station that didn't require ID registration, and then fell asleep without even taking off my clothes.
Unfortunately, I was woken up by my phone after only a few hours of sleep. When I opened my eyes, it was Dogez's call.
He took the earliest train and will arrive in Kunming in three hours.
It's not convenient to talk on the phone, so I asked Dog Root to meet me at the train station and then contact me again. After taking a bath, I went to a small eatery next to the train station and had a bowl of rice noodles.
Today's sunshine is not bad, after finishing breakfast I was waiting for Dog Genzi in the waiting hall of the train station. The train station is crowded with people coming and going, it's relatively safe. So I just sat there in the train station for a whole morning, when Dog Genzi arrived at 11:30
The dog got off the bus, thinking I was waiting for him at the station, and even spoke to me with excessive courtesy. I smiled wryly a few times without saying much, then the two of us found a small restaurant near the station that served family-style meals and prepared to have lunch.
I deliberately chose a spot by the wall where I could observe the entrance, and Dog Root seemed to sense that something was off about me, lowering his voice to ask if the police had sent someone to tail him.
I shook my head and waited for the wine and dishes to be served before roughly telling Dog Root about what happened in the hospital morgue and last night.
"Xu Ge, can you really beat ghosts?" Dog Genzi stared at me with wide eyes.
"I guess so. At the time, I didn't take a closer look either, and I didn't know what that thing was capable of. Later on, thinking back, it probably wasn't anything particularly serious."
This morning I was actually recalling last night's events, the thing attached to the landlady seemed not very powerful, when I first used the Lion Seal for the first time and added another move, it should have been subdued.
"Xu Ge, don't be modest, when I was young, there was a family in our village who had a guest who was so strong that even the thick hemp rope used to tie up oxen couldn't bind him. A 150-jin man could knock down one person with just one push, and five or six people together couldn't get close to him."
Later, a monk was specially invited from the temple to come back and cure him." Dog Genzi spoke with spittle flying everywhere.
What Dog Root said, I also encountered when I was a child. At that time, the Taoist priest who could beat ghosts seemed like a god to me. Now thinking about it, ordinary ghosts are not difficult to deal with, just a matter of a talisman. Those mountain and wild gods and witches, jumping big gods and inviting immortals, are all deceiving people.
After chatting with Dog Root for a while, the worries in my heart have dissipated a lot. Dog Root said something very right, I am now considered to be someone with magical powers too. When encountering those mysterious and supernatural things again, there will always be ways to deal with them. Now, being nervous and frightened here is actually just scaring myself.
After three cups of wine, Dog Root asked me how I was considering what we talked about a few days ago.
I know he's talking about doing business with me, but this kid has made it big now, and I only have 300,000 yuan on hand. If we work together, it's clear that I'm taking advantage of him. Although I'm greedy for money, I still have some integrity, and I won't do things that take advantage of others for my own benefit.
I told Dog Root that it's better not to mention this matter of 50-50 division again, or else I'll just work for him.
Who knows that Dog looked at me deeply and then asked me very seriously: "Xu Ge, do you want to make money? Make a lot of money!"
As soon as I saw this kid's manner of speaking, I knew he had an ulterior motive. Half a year ago, Dog Root suddenly became rich overnight, didn't he do something illegal?
"Doggie, money is a good thing, but we can't do anything that goes against our conscience for the sake of it. That white powder stuff is off-limits."
In Yunnan's territory, if I had to say which profession can make one rich overnight, the first thing that comes to mind is drug trafficking. Hopefully this kid isn't involved in this deadly business.
Gou Dafu heard what I said and shook his head repeatedly, saying: "Xu Ge, don't you understand me yet? I've always been timid, how could I dare to do anything illegal or unruly?"
I shook my head: "You're such a greedy bastard, I'm thinking this way because I know you too well. You're usually quite timid, but when it comes to money, you wouldn't even be afraid of the king of heaven. If I hadn't stopped you back then, you'd probably be serving time in prison by now."
I suspect that Dog Root will go to traffic in white powder, not for no reason. This kid has a previous conviction. It was last winter, the weather was too cold, and the medicinal mountain contracted by Dog Root suffered from snow disasters, and 70-80% of the medicinal materials planted were frozen to death. This kid is usually frugal, and he didn't even buy one cent's worth of insurance, which means that he lost all his wife's dowry.
。
At that time, Gou Genzi was quite disheartened and always had a bottle of wine in his hand. One evening, he got drunk and called me, scolding the purchasing merchant for being ruthless, only giving cabbage prices for good medicinal materials, while also saying that planting medicine was too bitter, it's better to go to Myanmar with the villagers to plant opium. As soon as I heard this kid wanted to make trouble, I hurried to Wenshan and persuaded him with a bitter mouth for several days, my lips were worn out before he finally regained his spirit.
The dog root child probably also remembered the time when he was confused, his face was a bit unbearable, he cleared his throat, then stretched out his hand and took out a small object wrapped in blue cloth from his pocket.
"Brother Xu, take a look at this thing and you'll know what kind of business I'm in."
I watched as Dog carefully unwrapped the blue cloth wrapped around it, layer by layer, and inside was an exquisitely crafted jade bangle.
Although I don't know much about jade, I can tell that the jade bangle in Dog Root's hand is a good thing. Just look at it, its body is crystal clear and translucent, with a warm and gentle green color. The surface of the bangle is like it's covered with a layer of mist, definitely not cheap.
"Xu Ge, guess how much this bracelet is worth?" Dog Genzi winked at me with a sly expression.
I have no idea what this price is, I saw the dog's owner smugly stretching out four fingers at me, I thought of guessing 4,000, but felt that the price was too low, not worth this kid being so pleased with himself.
"Could it be worth 40,000 yuan?" I asked Dog Root in a low voice. A jade bangle that could sell for 40,000 yuan was already an astronomical price in my mind.
The dog root child specially installed a forced shake of his head, then slowly and calmly said: "Add another ten."
"Is it 1.4 million?! Although it's not mine, I feel like my heart is about to jump out of my throat, spending 1.4 million on a bangle, how rich do you have to be to splurge like this?!"
The dog shook its head and said in a dramatic voice: "It's four hundred thousand."
"Four hundred thousand..." I felt a bit oxygen-deprived in my brain, but thinking about it again, it seemed somewhat absurd. Is there really someone in this world who would spend four hundred thousand on a bracelet?
The dog root saw that I didn't believe him, and he hastily explained to me: "This thing is called Emperor Green, a jade mine may not be able to dig out one piece, ancient times only the imperial family can use it, so now it's very popular among rich people, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong's rich people have a large demand for it.
"This bangle is exactly what a Hong Kong boss wants to buy, and he has already paid the deposit."
"Really?" I still had an incredulous look on my face.
"Really, don't believe me? Take a look at this." Dog Root handed me another piece of paper. I took it and looked, and found that it was an article cut from a certain magazine.
The big title of the article is, and the subtitle is "the gambling stone industry that makes people rich overnight". I took a look at this title and it was so impressive, so I patiently browsed through the article, and it turned out to be about jade gambling.
Ten years ago, the matter of gambling on stones had just entered the vision of ordinary people like us, so my understanding of gambling on stones was only at the level of hearsay. However, those rumors sounded a bit too exaggerated to me. But after reading this article today, it turns out that there are indeed many stories of overnight riches.
I love money, but I don't like playing with speculative things that can make people's blood vessels excited and burst. The article also said that nine out of ten gambles on stones will lose, although if you win, you can rise to the sky in one step. However, most situations are not so beautiful, and it is not easy for many people to maintain a balance between income and expenditure. Those who have lost everything because of gambling on stones are also not uncommon.
I've never been one to bet on luck, but Dog Root clearly made a lot of money, this kid can't possibly be that lucky.
I asked Dog Genzi if he had worshiped some powerful teacher or ancestor, doing business so well without ever having a downturn.
The dog root child smiled and said, "What's the gamble on stone? The good materials are all in Old Myanmar. Most of the ones transported to China are inferior goods. Now that the jade market is so good, the Burmese people aren't stupid either. Good materials are now prohibited from private transactions. As long as you can transport the good materials from Myanmar back to China, it's a profitable business."
I don't think that's right, I heard that the place in Myanmar is currently at war and it's very chaotic, how could Dogzi have such incredible skills to get good materials from there?
The dog root child blinked, saying: "Xu Ge, the old Myanmar side said it was an internal war, but in fact it's just some poisonous villains and bandits fighting against the government, gathering people to become mountain kings. Some of their armed forces occupied the jade mine, our business is with these mountain kings. We exchange grain, clothes and other daily necessities for good quality jade or raw stones, bring them back home and carve them, they become valuable treasures!"
He said that Dog Root was still holding the jade bangle and swung it in front of me twice, and the green color made my eyes dizzy.
