Tan Xiu had observed the chubby middle-aged man's physiognomy. He was born with a face of fortune. Although he couldn't become a super rich man, it wouldn't be a problem for him to have a net worth of billions.
Song Hao!
This was the name of the chubby middle-aged man, a Miao man who came from the Miao Region and took root outside. He was very smart, had good vision, and had an extraordinary temperament. Through his narration, Tan Xiu learned that he became rich overnight more than a decade ago and had a wealth of tens of millions.
However, he didn't get carried away by this sudden wealth. Instead, he began to study jade stones after realizing the amazing profits contained in jade stones. He constantly consulted people who knew about jade and lingered in major jade trading markets. He even worked in jade mines many times. After several years of accumulation, he gradually found some knack and then began to work as a middleman. He used his knowledge and eloquence to slowly accumulate wealth and eventually had a net worth of billions.
"Divine Doctor Tang, stone gambling is all about foresight, and luck can only play a small part. The water in this industry is very deep, so it's best not to act rashly if you don't know anything about it. "The chubby middle-aged man, Song Hao, warned him in a low voice.
"Don't worry!" Tan Xiu laughed. "I'm not the kind of person who gets jealous after seeing others suddenly become rich. My main purpose in coming to this convention center is to buy jade materials. Since I've already bought them from you, I won't waste too much money on stone gambling. Of course, if I come across something good and the price isn't too high, I'll buy it for fun. "
Song Hao was well aware that Tan Xiu wasn't short of money. Tan Xiu was, after all, a famous young divine doctor who could earn a lot of money just by relying on his superb medical skills. Who didn't have headaches and fever these days? If it were those incurable diseases, perhaps even the super rich would be willing to spend a lot of money to seek treatment.
After a while.
Several people followed the flow of people and came to a place two shacks away. Not only was there a large number of stones in the shed, but there were also stone cutters. Hundreds of people gathered here, all of them staring at the stone cutter in blue overalls. To be more precise, they were staring at the football-sized stone that the stone cutter was holding up with both hands.
"Little brother, you bought this stone for a total of two thousand dollars. Now that it's green, it proves that you've won the bet. I'll give you two million, and you'll let me have this stone. How about it? " A well-dressed middle-aged man beside the stone cutter looked at the excited young man in front of the stone cutter and said.
"I'll pay three million."
"I bid five million."
As the well-dressed middle-aged man's voice fell, two voices sounded out at almost the same time. The one who was willing to bid five million was an ordinary-looking young man who exuded a superior aura. He was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and he was accompanied by a young man and a young woman.
The owner of the stone, the excited young man, was overjoyed when he heard that. As if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, he said loudly, "5 million yuan! Transfer the money to me now and I'll sell this stone."
The young man who offered five million nodded in satisfaction. He turned to the young woman beside him and nodded. Soon, he transferred five million into the account given by the owner of the stone.
The stone cutter asked, "Do you want to polish this stone?"
The young man who bought the stone said without hesitation, "Yes."
The stone cutter nodded silently and carefully wiped the stone in his hand. The green color on the stone increased along with his action. In just a few minutes, a palm-sized piece of green appeared in front of everyone.
"Wait a minute!"
A voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. Tian Jingnan, accompanied by two men, quickly squeezed into the crowd. His eyes fell on the young man and said with a smile, "Little brother, how about selling this stone to me? I'm willing to buy it for 10 million since you've spent five million. "
"I'm sorry, but I don't lack money," said the young man with a smile.
Tian Jingnan's breath stagnated. He hesitated for a moment and then spoke again, "20 million. I'll offer 20 million if you're willing to sell this stone to me."
The young man's mouth curved into a smile. He still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. Stone gambling is just a hobby of mine. It doesn't matter whether I make a profit or lose money in the end. What I enjoy is the process of cutting and polishing the stone. Let's continue, Master! "
Tian Jingnan shook his head helplessly. He found that he was really unlucky this year. He fancied a stone before, but someone beat him to it. Now that he realized that there might be a good jade in this uncut stone, the other party was still unwilling to sell it.
Tan Xiu silently stood in the crowd. As his spiritual sense enveloped the stone, he secretly sighed at the young man's luck. There was jade in this stone, and it was the Imperial Green Jadeite. Once it was taken out, its value would be at least more than nine digits.
"Let's go!"
Tan Xiu pulled Long Zhengyu and turned around with a faint smile.
Long Zhengyu hesitated for a moment and found that Song Hao had already left behind Tan Xiu. He let out a wry smile and looked deeply at the young man who bought the stone before chasing after Tan Xiu.
"Tan Xiu, we haven't finished watching the good show yet. Why are you in such a hurry to pull me back?" asked Long Zhengyu.
Tan Xiu lightly smiled and said, "If others lose their bet and we gloat over their misfortune, it shows that our temperament is not good. If others win their bet, it will only make us envious. Why would we do such a troublesome thing? "
Long Zhengyu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh, "That's a fallacy. Forget it. If you don't want to see it, then don't! Do you still want to play? If not, let's hurry up and send these jade materials back. "
"I don't want to play anymore."
Tan Xiu slightly shook his head and smiled.
A few hours later, the container truck delivered all the jade and stone materials to South Gate Town. After unloading them in the courtyard, Tan Xiu transferred the money to Song Hao and sent him away.
"What's your plan next, Tan Xiu?"
Long Zhengyu asked with a bored expression.
"I'll rest at home and let Little Han familiarize himself with the situation at home," said Tan Xiu. "We'll go to the Convention and Exhibition Center in the afternoon."
"We're going to the Convention and Exhibition Center again?" Asked Long Zhengyu in surprise.
Tan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression, "I'm idle anyway, so it's better to go there and play. But what about you? What's your plan today? "
"I'll go back first," said Long Zhengyu. "I'll go to Nine Dragons Island in a few days, so I'll arrange some things in Star City before I go. That's right, if you meet that brat who bought the stone material today again, you must be wary of him. That brat … he's as smart as a demon. "
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. The appearance of the youth exuding a superior aura emerged in his mind and he immediately asked, "Who is he?"
"He's Chu Yuan, the successor of Shanghai's Imperial Garden, the owner of the Imperial Brilliant Group, and the founder of Imperial Fortune Venture," said Long Zhengyu.
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows. He vaguely felt that the name "Imperial Garden" was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. But he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Is he very powerful?"
Long Zhengyu was silent for half a minute before he faintly said, "He's more than powerful. He's simply … monstrous. The wealth he has is no less than any of the powerful families in the country. The armed forces behind him are so many that it makes one's hair stand on end. His influence is not only in the business world, but also in the military … "
Tan Xiu's complexion changed and a big wave rose inside his heart. He was well aware of the real powerful families in the country, such as the Tang Family and the Yao Family. They had deep foundations, a lot of wealth, and powerful armed forces. Yet, Chu Yuan could actually be compared with these real powerful families. What exactly was his origin?
Tan Xiu shot a deep look at Long Zhengyu and asked, "You seem to know him very well, no?"
"You're wrong. I know very little about him." Long Zhengyu shook his head. "Appearances can confuse the eyes, and it's difficult to measure the depth with a ruler. The Imperial Garden has existed for hundreds of years. Even the four major families during the chaotic era of war were deeply influenced by the Imperial Garden. Even during the anti-Japanese war, countless outstanding talents emerged from the Imperial Garden and became heroes after the end of the war. Even though all the people who came out of the Imperial Garden were stripped of their positions after the end of the war and disappeared from the world, the Imperial Garden is still the Imperial Garden and has always been feared by those in power generation after generation. I don't know much about Chu Yuan, but … I know a lot about the Imperial Garden. "
In a flash.
Tan Xiu seemed to understand Long Zhengyu's meaning. He silently nodded and said, "I understand. You can leave first if you have something to do! Let's find some time to meet again before going to Nine Dragons Island. I'll be staying in Star City in the near future. "
Long Zhengyu responded and then drove Tan Xiu's car away. He didn't say much to Tan Xiu, but his words not only affected Tan Xiu, but also himself. He didn't want to mention the name "Chu Yuan" because Chu Yuan was his direction and the goal he strived for all his life.
In the villa's courtyard.
Gu Yin's face was full of curiosity as she observed Tang Xiaohan, who was standing quietly at the side. She wanted to talk to Tang Xiaohan, but she was worried that he wouldn't be easy to get along with.
Finally, as Long Zhengyu left, Tan Xiu's eyes fell on Tang Xiaohan. He turned around and waved to Gu Yin, saying with a smile, "Yinyin, come here and let me introduce you. His name is Tang Xiaohan. You can call him Junior Brother, or Xiaohan. "
Gu Yin paced a few steps forward and nodded obediently before extending her hand to Tang Xiaohan. But when she realized that Tang Xiaohan's eyes couldn't see, she immediately pulled his hand and said, "Hello, Junior Brother. I'm your Senior Sister, Gu Yin. I should be older than you, but I'm just a few years older. "
"Hello, Senior Sister." Tang Xiaohan suddenly smiled and said, "Are we … a family from now on?"
Gu Yin looked up at Tan Xiu and found that Tan Xiu gently nodded to her. She immediately smiled and said, "We're a family from now on, Junior Brother. A Master for a day is a father for a lifetime. We're all Master's children. "
A Master for a day is a father for a lifetime.
Tang Xiaohan silently recited this sentence inwardly and repeated it a dozen times. Then, he firmly nodded and said, "I'm very happy. I have family members now, and two of them."
"You're wrong, Junior Brother." Gu Yin grinned and said, "It's not two family members. You'll have a lot of family members in the future."
