Chapter 111: New Intelligence, Profit Doubled Fivefold!
“Hello, Zhang Bo.”
“You’re at the village entrance? That was fast!”
“It’s too crowded and everyone’s got eyes at the village entrance. Drive a bit further inside. I’ll come out to meet you.”
“A white Audi A4, right? Got it.”
After a brief chat on the phone, Jiang Tao hung up and prepared to go out.
“Honey~ Who were you just talking to, a man or a woman?”
Seeing Jiang Tao hang up, Xu Li came over, put her arm around his, and asked with a playful smile.
“A man. Our Money-Bringing Boy has arrived. Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet him.”
“Money-Bringing Boy? You mean…”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Li’s eyes lit up, and her breathing quickened.
“Yes.”
Jiang Tao gave Xu Li a knowing look.
“Then let’s go! What are you waiting for!”
Xu Li understood Jiang Tao’s look instantly and pulled his arm, dragging him out.
“Ouch, you silly goose, slow down. What’s the rush?”
“He’s bringing money right to our doorstep, why wouldn’t I be in a hurry!”
The couple muttered softly as they left their parents’ home and stepped onto the street.
The white Audi A4 with Beijing plates that Zhang Bo drove was quite conspicuous in the village.
Jiang Tao saw it as soon as he hit the street.
Zhang Bo also saw Jiang Tao and his wife. He slowly pulled the car over, stopped, and opened the car door to get out.
“Happy New Year, Brother Jiang! This must be Sister-in-law! Happy New Year, Sister-in-law.”
As soon as Zhang Bo got out of the car, he greeted Jiang Tao and Xu Li with a smile.
Although he was impressed by Xu Li’s beauty and perfect figure, his gaze was measured and he didn’t dare to look around inappropriately.
“Thank you for making the long trip, Zhang Bo. This is my wife, Xu Li.”
“Xu Li, this is Zhang Bo. We’ve dealt with each other a few times in the Capital City. He’s a friend worth getting to know.”
“Hello, Zhang Bo. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Hello, Sister-in-law. It’s also an honor to meet you.”
“Let’s go home first. It’s not a good place to talk business on the street with so many people around.”
Jiang Tao called out to Zhang Bo, then turned and led the way, heading towards his own home.
Seeing the imposing black Mercedes-Benz GLS parked in front of Jiang Tao’s house, Zhang Bo couldn’t help but marvel internally. This Brother Jiang is indeed not simple!
“Huh? Why is the house door open…”
Arriving at the house, Jiang Tao saw that their room door was ajar, which surprised him slightly.
Xu Li said, “My mom and Shasha probably got back first. I gave them the key.”
“Oh.”
Jiang Tao didn’t pay it any mind and led Zhang Bo into the courtyard.
Indeed, his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, having finished dinner at his mother’s house, were in the living room playing with Jiang Xue.
Du Yongmei and Xu Sha were a bit curious seeing Jiang Tao and Xu Li bring a stranger home, but they didn’t ask any questions.
After greeting them, Jiang Tao took Zhang Bo into his storage room with the Yuan Datou silver dollars.
Xu Li really wanted to follow and witness the transaction firsthand.
But after thinking about it, she decided against it and stayed outside to keep her mother and sister company.
Inside the storage room.
Jiang Tao first took out the small box containing the ox gallstone from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Bo.
“The ox gallstone is inside. Take a look.”
“Okay, Brother Jiang.”
Zhang Bo took a deep breath and, with excitement in his expression, took the box from Jiang Tao.
He gently opened the box with both hands, revealing the brownish-yellow ox gallstone inside.
He observed it carefully, then smelled it, and finally made a video call to his father, Zhang Long, for a remote inspection.
After a careful examination, Zhang Long asked Zhang Chao a few questions and finally made his judgment.
“The item is fine. You can buy it.”
Then, Zhang Bo took out a high-precision mini jewelry electronic scale from his pocket, about the size of a flip phone.
Professionals have professional equipment!
It was said that this type of scale could even weigh a feather, with an accuracy of 0.01 grams.
Zhang Bo took the ox gallstone out of the box and placed it on the weighing area of the mini jewelry scale.
The display showed the weight: 1000.01 grams!
The quality and weight were fine, and the price had already been agreed upon, so there was no need to haggle further.
Next, Zhang Bo inspected the 205 Yuan Datou silver dollars Jiang Tao had placed in the box, one by one.
He could handle small items worth a thousand or eight hundred yuan himself without bothering his father.
After the inspection was complete, Zhang Bo promptly transferred the money to Jiang Tao.
【 Alipay payment of 1.736 million yuan received! 】
Seeing his Alipay balance instantly jump from a few thousand yuan to over a million, he felt incredibly pleased!
At the same time.
The voice prompt of the Alipay payment also reached Xu Li, her mother, and her sister, who were idly chatting on the living room sofa, from the storage room.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three pairs of eyes simultaneously turned towards the door of the storage room.
Xu Li’s face showed surprise, while Du Yongmei and Xu Sha looked shocked!
1.73 million!
Regardless of whether someone was paying Jiang Tao or Jiang Tao was paying someone, it proved one thing.
Jiang Tao currently had, or had had, 1.73 million!
And it was in cash!!
Du Yongmei, who managed the household’s finances, was most aware of their family’s assets.
Excluding real estate and vehicles, their family only had about 800,000 yuan in deposits.
That’s less than half of 1.73 million!
Recovering from the initial shock of 1.73 million.
Du Yongmei pulled Xu Li into the master bedroom.
“Lili, tell your mom, what is Jiang Tao doing with that person?”
Du Yongmei looked at her elder daughter with concern, afraid that Jiang Tao might have taken a wrong path.
“Mom, what are you thinking? Is my husband that kind of person!”
Seeing her mother’s expression, Xu Li knew she was misinterpreting things and couldn’t help but laugh.
Du Yongmei pointed her finger at Xu Li’s forehead and admonished:
“You silly girl, still laughing. Don’t be surprised when Jiang Tao sells you off and you’re still counting his money.”
“Tch, my husband wouldn’t sell me.”
Xu Li made a funny face at her mother, utterly confident in her relationship with Jiang Tao.
Of course, she also knew that her mother was so worried because she cared about her.
“My husband bought a piece of ox gallstone two years ago. It’s gone up in price since then, so he thought about selling it.”
“The person just now came all the way from the Capital City to buy that piece of ox gallstone from my husband.”
This excuse was something Jiang Tao and Xu Li had concocted, and it sounded plausible.
Du Yongmei asked doubtfully, “Ox gallstone? Selling for so much money, how many pounds is that!”
“It’s not that much, it’s just this big.”
Xu Li used her thumb and index finger to indicate the size of the ox gallstone.
“Something that small, selling for 1.73 million?”
Du Yongmei became a bit uneasy. Even a solid gold bead of that size wouldn’t sell for 1.73 million!
Xu Li calmly replied, “It’s not entirely from selling the ox gallstone. My husband also bought some old silver coins from someone else, which can sell for another two or three hundred thousand.”
“You, what exactly does your Jiang Tao do now?”
Du Yongmei recalled Jiang Tao’s behavior since returning home this year and couldn’t imagine him being just a truck driver!
What truck driver drives a million-yuan Mercedes home for Lunar New Year, gives his father-in-law Moutai and Huazi cigarettes.
And casually makes transactions worth over a million yuan!
“My husband is doing antique business with his master. I don’t really understand the specifics.”
“Anyway, he’s very good at making money now.”
“Oh, making money is a good thing. But it’s not always good for a man to be too rich. You need to keep a close eye on him.”
“Mom, don’t worry, my husband isn’t that kind of person.”
“He didn’t have the conditions before, but who knows about the future.”
“Not in the future either. I understand my husband better than you do.”
“I hope so.”
While the mother and daughter were whispering secrets in the room.
Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo had completed the transaction. He saw Zhang Bo out and watched him drive away.
Including the 80,000 yuan rewarded by the system last night.
In just one day, Jiang Tao’s available cash surged to 1.81 million.
It was truly a sudden fortune!
After seeing Zhang Bo off and returning home, Jiang Tao felt his mother-in-law’s gaze occasionally glance at him.
Moreover, the look she gave him today was no longer the usual disdain.
It actually held a hint of admiration?
…
Around 6 PM, his mother-in-law’s family of three bid farewell and left.
As they left, Jiang Tao packed over 30 catties of beef in his father-in-law’s trunk.
The cow had yielded a total of over 240 catties of meat.
Although there were many people today, they hadn’t eaten more than 30 catties of meat in total.
The rest, Jiang Tao directly distributed among everyone.
Even Liu Zhiyuan and his two brothers were given three or four catties of beef when they left.
In the evening, after taking turns showering, the young Nanny, Jiang Bing, took Jiang Xue to sleep in the small room.
Xu Li, being the last to finish showering, eagerly pulled Jiang Tao, who was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas looking at his phone, into the room.
“Honey~”
Jiang Tao shivered at Xu Li’s sweet, almost numbing voice and quickly said:
“I’ll give you 100, I need the rest for myself.”
“Mhm, mhm!”
Xu Li nodded excitedly, her big eyes sparkling as she watched Jiang Tao operate his phone to transfer money, thinking about how she would reward him later.
【 Alipay payment of 100 yuan received! 】
Hearing the notification of the payment on his phone, Xu Li’s gaze shifted from affectionate to confused, then to surprised.
Wait, wasn’t the 100 we talked about supposed to be 100W by default?
You actually gave me 100!
Is this my husband!
No, it’s my ex-husband!
“Hahaha…”
Jiang Tao looked at Xu Li’s changing expression from joy to confusion to grievance and burst into laughter, tears almost coming to his eyes.
“Bad husband, see if I don’t drain you dry!”
Xu Li let out a soft, coquettish hum and instantly transformed into a little wild cat, pouncing on Jiang Tao.
One hour later…
The little wild cat had become a docile little kitten, her slender fingers gently stroking Jiang Tao’s chest.
Wherever her fingers went, a tingling sensation, like an electric shock, spread.
【 Alipay payment of 1 million yuan received! 】
Jiang Tao, while enjoying the little cat’s massage, transferred 1 million yuan to her account.
Jiang Tao never hesitated to give Xu Li money, no matter the amount.
Xu Li wasn’t someone who spent money carelessly; the money she received was deposited into a fixed-term account the next day.
“Honey, why does this feel a bit unreal? Am I dreaming?”
“Silly, what feels unreal?”
“Before Lunar New Year, I was thinking about whether I should borrow some money from my mom to pay off our external debt.”
“The money we owe my mom, we can repay it slowly. You don’t need to feel too much pressure.”
“I hadn’t even borrowed it yet, and you’ve already paid off the debt and earned tens of thousands more. When has our family ever been this affluent?”
“Who says my wife isn’t a good influence? With a wife like you who brings good fortune, our life will be even better in the future.”
“Honey, will you become a bad person now that you have money? Will you look for other women?”
“What do you think.”
“No, my husband isn’t that kind of person!”
Xu Li answered her own question, the corners of her mouth curving into the sweetest, happiest smile.
After a period of intimacy, Xu Li fell asleep first.
Jiang Tao waited until midnight for the intelligence to refresh.
【 Daily Intelligence 01 】
You had contact with your uncle Tian Xiaoguang yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—
Tian Xiaoguang’s boss, Tian Jianming, intends to sell all the beef cattle currently in the cattle farm that have not yet been slaughtered.
In one month, the price of beef cattle will begin to rise, with an increase of 55%. ( 16 yuan → 24.8 )
It is recommended to acquire all the beef cattle in Tian Jianming’s cattle farm and sell them at an opportune moment.
【 Note 1 】: The maximum purchase is 300 head of cattle. Exceeding this quantity will cause random price fluctuations and uncertainty.
【 Note 2 】: Tian Jianming’s target price is 13 yuan/jin.
【 Note 3 】: Share the blessings ( Invite up to 5 people to jointly participate in this investment )—
The host will receive additional reward earnings multiplied by the number of investors!
…
Jiang Tao scrolled through the mission interface line by line.
When he saw the last line, he was shocked and became somewhat excited.
“Hiss… an additional 5 times the total project profit?”
Jiang Tao quickly took out his phone and roughly calculated the numbers based on the system interface.
Tian Jianming’s target price of 13 yuan/jin can be considered the cost.
Assuming 300 head of cattle, each roughly weighing 600 jin as he bought yesterday.
The total weight calculated is 180,000 jin.
At 13 yuan/jin, the final cost comes to 2.34 million!
This is the cost that needs to be invested.
180,000 jin multiplied by the final selling price of 24.8 yuan mentioned in the system intelligence is 4.464 million!
4.464 million minus 2.34 million is the gross profit, approximately 2.12 million!
If he finds 5 people to participate in this project, in addition to his own share, he can get 5 times the multiplied profit.
“2.12 million multiplied by 5…”
Jiang Tao’s breathing quickened as he looked at the number “1060” displayed on his phone screen.
10.6 million!
“System Brother is really awesome!”
Earning tens of millions in profit in one month, this project is incredible!
After the excitement, Jiang Tao quickly studied the details of this intelligence.
He noticed that the system’s mention of inviting others to participate was not for just anyone.
Firstly, the invited partners must be individuals recognized by the system; simply bringing anyone along wouldn’t count.
Secondly, a partner must invest more than 200,000 yuan to be considered a partner.
Both conditions are indispensable.
Although it’s a bit troublesome, considering the rich rewards of this intelligence, it’s worth overcoming!
Jiang Tao lowered his gaze to Xu Li, who was sleeping soundly with her arm around him.
【 Xu Li: Cannot be invited. 】
Seeing the large characters appear above Xu Li’s head, Jiang Tao sighed helplessly.
He could only pray that these 5 partners wouldn’t be too difficult to find!
Missing even one person means his profit would be reduced by over 2 million!
After analyzing the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao moved his mind and chose to look at the second piece of intelligence for today.
