"but"
As he spoke, An Ruishan changed the topic and said with a smile: "The two guys who almost killed me have been captured by the police.
It won't take long for them to reveal who the mastermind is. Once the mastermind behind the scenes is caught, An will feel at ease and will come to harass Mr. Chen again."
"President An, Mr. Chen also heard about the accident on your flight. Those two robbers really committed many evil deeds and would not regret their death."
After Chen Song finished speaking with a righteous expression, he said with a half-smile, "But how did I hear that the two robbers seemed to have committed suicide in the hospital out of fear of crime?"
An Ruishan was stunned, and a bad premonition came into his heart.
At this moment, Director Li from the Public Security Bureau called An Ruishan.
An Ruishan's heart sank when he saw the caller ID.
Chen Song stood on tiptoe and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone. When he saw that the caller was indeed Director Li of the Public Security Bureau, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
"Hello, Director Li?" An Ruishan did not avoid suspicion and answered the phone in front of Chen Song and others.
Director Li on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice: "President An, I have some unfortunate news to tell you.
The two robbers faced interrogation yesterday and remained silent.
Although they are robbers, our country is a country that values humanity and laws.
Because they were seriously injured, in order to protect their basic personal rights, we decided to send them to a doctor first and wait until their injuries were cured before interrogating them.
But just this morning, two robbers committed suicide in the ward!"
"Bureau Li, are you sure they committed suicide?" An Ruishan said and glanced at Chen Song.
Chen Song smiled, but there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes.xdw8
Director Li said: "Although their deaths are very suspicious and there must be a hidden secret behind them, based on the current autopsy report, it is undoubtedly suicide.
President An, this matter was due to our negligence, I should have sent someone to guard it 24 hours a day..."
An Ruishan took a deep breath and said: "Director Li, you don't have to blame yourself, accidents are always inevitable. Thank you for telling me the news."
After he hung up the phone, Chen Song sighed and said, "It's a pity. If the two robbers hadn't died, maybe we could have caught the mastermind behind it. But now, there are no clues."
An Ruishan said coldly: "Mr. Chen, there is no need to feel sorry. As the saying goes, Skynet is vast and unobstructed, and it is only a matter of time to catch the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Well said!" Chen Song laughed loudly: "Then let's wait and see!"
Shen Wanchong remained silent until now, and then said: "Mr. Chen, President An, let's stop gossiping, right?"
It's been more than ten minutes since the trade fair started, and everyone is still outside in the sun."
"Then let's go in now?" Chen Song smiled and said, "President An, Mr. Shen, please!"
Shen Wanchong said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, please go first. The manager just made it clear that you are the only one who can enter the venue first. We do as guests please and we don't dare to overstep."
Several people humbly bowed to each other and walked to the entrance of the venue first.
People around them looked at them in harmony, and many people thought they had a harmonious relationship. However, people who were familiar with them had long sensed the tit-for-tat confrontation between the three of them.
The annual rough stone trade fair in Chucheng is indeed the largest rough stone trade fair in the three provinces of southern Chu.
When you walk into the venue, you will see that there are countless rough stones in the venue. It is like a world of stones, which is dazzling and dizzying.
"Since Chairman An and Mr. Shen are here, the three of us represent the three provinces in the stone gambling dispute, is it still the same?" Entering the venue, Chen Song said straight to the point.
The three of them are collectively known as the Jade Kings, and it is customary to have a stone-betting dispute every time Chucheng's rough stone trade is held.
Except for taking second place in the first year, Chen Song has maintained a high-pressure attitude of only winning but not losing in the following years. Naturally, he does not intend to let An Ruishan and Shen Wanchong go this year.
When Chen Song brought up the stone betting dispute, Shen Wanchong said with a smile: "Of course it's the same as usual, just think of it as adding some luck to the fair.
However, I plan to play a big game this year, I wonder if Mr. Chen dares to accept it?"
"Big?" Chen Song looked thoughtfully at the smiling Shen Wanchong, then at the silent An Ruishan, and then turned his attention to the fortune teller Ye Liangwen beside him.
Then he saw Ye Liangwen look confident and nodded slightly to him.
"Okay! Since Mr. Shen is so interested, why not tell me how you plan to bet?"
Shen Wanchong said: "Over the years, our bet has been that buyers from the province where the winner is located can get a 10% discount on rough diamonds, while the loser's price will be increased by 10%, and the second place will remain unchanged.
This year I plan to change the bet. The province where the winner is located will get a 30% discount on rough stones, while the loser will get a 30% increase in price, while the second place will remain unchanged.
What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
When the people around heard the bet made by Shen Wanchong, their hearts skipped a beat.
Especially the merchants in Handong Province, their expressions changed drastically.
In the past years, Handong Province has always been at the bottom, and a 10% price increase has already made them feel very uncomfortable. If the price is increased by 30%, it will be worse for them.
Chen Song was also slightly shocked by Shen Wanchong's bet, but he was not afraid at all. With Ye Liangwen here, it would be difficult for him to lose.
Chen Song looked at An Ruishan and said, "I have no objection. I just want to see if Chairman An has any objection."
Then An Ruishan shook his head and said, "I don't have any objection either."
"We have an objection!" A businessman from Handong Province stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, if you bet like this, if you lose, it will be all of us who suffer."
Other people in Handong Province also joined in and advised Shen Wanchong not to bet so big.
Shen Wanchong pressed his hands and said: "Dear friends from Handong Province, I, Shen Wanchong, will not trick you. In the past years, we have always lost, causing everyone to spend a lot of money in vain.
If we win this year, we will win back all the losses we have lost in the past few years.
I know that my losses in previous years have made everyone complain about me.
Today I promise you that if I lose today, as long as it is a reasonable bid for the stone flower, I, Shen Wanchong's Dunhuang Group, will reimburse you 30% of the excess.
With this, everyone should feel relieved, right?"
Hearing what Shen Wanchong said, the businessmen in Handong Province were speechless. After all, Shen Wanchong was the representative of the jade industry in Handong Province, the leader of the four major wealthy groups, and he kept his word in Handong Province. .
Even if he didn't admit it afterwards, as long as they still planned to establish a foothold in Handong Province, they wouldn't dare to say anything wrong.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Shen Wanchong and the others immediately reached a bet.
