The next day, Zheng Yuanchao woke up, his head was groggy and a little aching. He drank too much yesterday. He quickly got up and looked at the piece of jade wool. He opened the sheet and found it was still there, lying quietly on the seam of the bed.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel intoxicated. What happened yesterday was not a dream. He quickly washed up, and Uncle Li's son would be here soon.
Uncle Li's son didn't know what happened to Zheng Yuanchao. He suddenly needed money and didn't dare to delay. He came to the hotel early in the morning. He said:
"What's your emergency?"
Ruili, Yunnan, is a distribution center for jade. Merchants exchange what they have, and everyone is comparing and searching, hoping to buy cheap and high-quality jade. Whenever an important item appears, it will attract the attention of merchants. The goods are valuable.
Now, there is no secret. How much is the price of the expensive wool? The real thing is in someone's hands, and all the merchants know it.
Zheng Yuanchao did not pick up on Li Bo's son's words, and showed off his expression. He said:
"I heard that Ruili has a heavy item. It's quite big and weighs more than ten kilograms."
Uncle Li's son was a little confused and thought for a long time. He looked at Zheng Yuanchao hesitantly and said:
"No, I haven't heard of it."
Li Jianzhong and Yannuo do not make gambling stones, and they are not among the Five Elements. It is not surprising that this piece of jade wool came from Myanmar. Zheng Yuanchao tried to make a point further, he said:
"Those who open the windows have green surfaces."
Li Bo's son thought for a moment, then woke up like a dream, and said in a long voice:
"Ah..., I remembered it. Yes, there is a piece of wool weighing more than ten kilograms. Yes, it has a window and a green surface."
"That's right." Zheng Yuanchao smiled proudly and looked at Uncle Li's son mysteriously.
Li Bo's son did not guess Zheng Yuanchao's intention. He said casually:
"I heard that some troublemakers have been to the west of the city recently, so please be careful."
When Li Bo's son said this, Zheng Yuanchao didn't understand. He said:
"What do you mean pay attention?"
"It was a piece of rock that was cut out of the mountain. It was too close to the muzzle of the cannon and it was shattered by the shock. When you cut it, it was a bag of slag. You must not let the liar fool you." Li Bo's son explained.
Boom, Zheng Yuanchao's head got bigger. He was at a loss for a moment and lowered his head in pain. When a businessman does business, profit is more important than IQ. When a businessman is cheated, the loss is small. If your peers know it, they will be ridiculed for your IQ.
A breath was held in Zheng Yuanchao's chest, and he swallowed it hard. He didn't want to be laughed at, and he didn't notice when Uncle Li's son left. He quickly went to find Li Jianzhong, clicked on the room he said, and knocked on the door.
There was no one. The hotel was small, only on the third floor. Zheng Yuanchao knocked on the door one by one and searched all the rooms in the hotel, but there was no sign of Li. With no other choice, Zheng Yuanchao went to the service desk to ask the waiter. The waiter checked and found that among the guests in the hotel,
There was no one named Li at all. Zheng Yuanchao described Li Jianzhong’s appearance to the waiter, and the waiter said:
"The person you are talking about often hangs around this area and never stays in a hotel."
Zheng Yuanchao panicked and immediately drove to the small village in the west of the city. The house was still there, the door was open, and there was no one inside or outside. He saw an old lady coming, and hurried over and asked:
"Grandma, may I ask where Yannuo is?"
Grandma stared at him doubtfully for a long time, then she seemed to understand and said:
"Yan Nuo? It seems to be the name of the Dai people. All people living in this village are Han people."
Zheng Yuanchao was stunned. It turned out that this was not Yannuo’s home. He asked his grandmother:
"Grandma, what about this house?"
"This house belongs to my family. It's old and no one lives in it. I'll use it in the summer when I'm looking at the vegetables." After the grandma finished speaking, she slowly returned to the village.
Zheng Yuanchao was stunned and stood there until dark. He felt something moving in his nostrils, like two worms crawling out. When he wiped it with his hand, it was a nosebleed. Zheng Yuanchao had this problem and would get a nosebleed when he was anxious and angry.
. He returned to the hotel in despair. Li Jianzhong and Yan Nuo had already fled with their money, and it was estimated that they would not be found for a while. The exciting piece of wool stone was still there, which was a serious blow to his heart.
It fell into his hands. In Ruili, I was afraid that everyone would know that even if he lost money, no one would want it. Zheng Yuanchao could not make any noise, so he quietly returned to Wei City with the jade and wool.
Returning to Weishi, Zheng Yuanchao learned the hard way that he couldn't buy decent jade wool with the capital in his hands. Weishi was a poor man, so he sold it at a low price, maybe he could recover some losses. When he thought about it, he was even more worried about this piece of wool.
, if the bidding price is too low, people with dull eyes will be suspicious. If the bidding price is high, the discerning people will definitely be alarmed. Then everyone will comment and it will be revealed. The rough stone will still be smashed into their hands.
Zheng Yuanchao was so depressed that he often stayed at home, drowning his sorrows in wine and unwilling to show up.
Chang Shunfa was Zheng Yuanchao's workshop director when he was working at the agricultural machinery factory, and we had a good relationship with him. Like Zheng Yuanchao, he was laid off during rectification and started a business. Chang Shunfa was engaged in the garment industry, and everything went smoothly, and the business was booming.
I heard that Zheng Yuanchao had returned to Wei City and had not been seen for a few days, so he called to inquire about the business situation. The threshold for the clothing industry is low, and more and more competitors are joining. Chang Shunfa has long wanted to expand the market. He felt that Zheng Yuanchao was making jewelry.
It was okay, so I contacted him a little more. He asked Zheng Yuanchao to go out for dinner, and Zheng Yuanchao had an idea. After dinner, Zheng Yuanchao brought Chang Shunfa to his home, where he was served a good cup of tea. Chang Shunfa saw a large table in Zheng Yuanchao's room.
The thing was covered with red silk. I was very curious and asked Zheng Yuanchao:
"What is it? So precious."
Zheng Yuanchao sat without moving and said calmly:
"Open it and take a look."
Chang Shunfa opened the red silk and was shocked. He was not in the jewelry business, but two of his friends were in the jewelry business, one was Zheng Yuanchao and the other was Zuo Chengjun. When they were in the agricultural machinery factory
, Chang Shunfa is the workshop director, and they are his right and left hands. Zuo Chengjun is very capable and is called "right hand", while Zheng Yuanchao is called "left hand". Accompanied by two jewelers, Chang Shunfa, a layman, has become
Now he is an expert. He felt that a ring as big as a fingernail would be worth tens of thousands. How much would it cost Zheng Yuanchao to get such a large piece of jade? He excitedly walked around the jade, rubbing his hands and exclaimed.
:
"Oh, this is great, you can make a lot of money this time."
In recent years, the garment industry has become increasingly competitive and the profits of the garment industry are not satisfactory. Chang Shunfa wants to expand business and has been paying attention to Zheng Yuanchao's business. Zheng Yuanchao knows this very well. He said:
"The work is too big, I can't even walk anymore. I have a headache."
Chang Shunfa was greedy and had a good reputation among his friends. Feeling that Zheng Yuanchao wanted to ask for help, he thought about borrowing less and saying no if he borrowed more. The stone in front of him made Chang Shunfa change his mind.
. He decided not to lend him a penny and forced him to find someone to cooperate. He tentatively said:
"How dare you ask for a basket of rice without Da Shengzi? You didn't ask anyone to do the calculation beforehand."
Zheng Yuanchao heard something in Chang Shunfa's words and guessed that it was hopeless to borrow money from Chang Shunfa. He followed his words and said:
"Why don't we discuss this with you?"
Chang Shunfa knew that Zheng Yuanchao was trapped by money and that it was exactly what he wanted. He said with satisfaction:
"Look, look, we brothers still have feelings for each other. You didn't forget your brothers when you got rich. That's good, that's good."
Zheng Yuanchao knew that Chang Shunfa had agreed to cooperate, so he was not in a hurry to speak and allowed Chang Shunfa to wander around in front of the stone.
Chang Shunfa excitedly walked around the stone. He felt that this treasure would be half of his. He was not in a hurry to spend money, so he put the treasure in his hand and waited for it to slowly rise.
When he was satisfied, he sold it and made a lot of money. He said:
"When I talk about aiding Korea, everything from the Heshi Bi to the Star of Africa all have names. Our treasure also deserves a name. It needs to be more grand and open."
"How can I have time now? If I want to name it, I have to wait for it to be peeled, turned, polished and processed before I can name it."
"Yes, yes, I think this treasure is too eye-catching for you to put here. I'm afraid it won't be safe. Do you think this is good? I'll rent a house first... ah no, just buy it."
I need a residence and hide it. Anyway, I'm in the clothing business, so people don't care." Chang Shunfa must be as shrewd as he wants. As soon as he talks about cooperation, he will first keep the goods in his hands and take the initiative. After saying this, he
Look at Zheng Yuanchao.
"There is another piece of goods that landed in Ruili, Yunnan. I was short on money at the time, so I only put down a deposit and had to get it back as soon as possible," Zheng Yuanchao said.
Chang Shunfa was extremely excited when he heard that it was still in stock. He was still staring at the piece of jade wool without raising his head and said:
"How much? Is three hundred thousand enough? Come and get it tomorrow morning. That's it."
Chang Shunfa was used to the temper of the factory leaders. As long as he was happy, he would ask questions and answer questions without caring about other people's opinions. Before leaving, Chang Shunfa said:
"Yuan Korea, I will go buy a house tomorrow and move the goods there."
After Zheng Yuanchao left for Ruili, Yunnan, Chang Shunfa started shopping for a house. After several screenings, he bought a house in an old community. The house was on the first floor, leaning against the wall, with rows of small trees in front of the door. It was quiet and secluded.
The jade material was placed against the wall of the hall. A stack of old newspapers was placed on the green surface. When outsiders looked at it, they thought it was just a strange stone. They thought it was light and dark, so it was fairly hidden.
Recalling the piece of jade material, Zheng Yuanchao pondered for a long time. He raised his head and looked at his son in front of him. He put the phone to his ear and coughed lightly. Today, the piece of jade material was found. It can be proved. The industry does not think that
It is a treasure. Only laymen mistakenly think it is a huge wealth. The person who wants to be constantly informed must be a layman. He put one hand on the glass and the other hand holding the phone and said to his son
:
"If you get the jade material, you must tell the police. The murderer is an amateur."
Zheng Xingzhong couldn't help but feel happy at his father's small gesture. For the first time in more than ten years, he saw his father have the sense of urgency that ordinary people have. He said:
"There is something more pleasing to you."
Zheng Yuanchao sat up straight again, with a cold face and no smile. He had been in prison for more than ten years and thought about it for more than ten years. He was wronged and could not prove it. Only by finding the piece of jade material could he hope to get out of the prison.
.
Seeing Zheng Yuanchao return to his old mood, Zheng Xingzhong felt a little regretful. He hated himself. He planned to make his father happy but gave it away. He quickly said:
"The Supreme People's Procuratorate has issued a document to review your case."
Zheng Yuanchao raised his eyelids. He knew that no matter who came to investigate, they must have physical evidence of jade and wool. Otherwise, no matter who came, they would not be able to solve the case. He asked calmly:
"Who said that?"
Seeing his father making some noise, Zheng Xingzhong was a little excited and hurriedly said:
"Zuo Junxiao, she works at the Technical Appraisal Center of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Zheng Yuanchao thought for a long time, suddenly his eyes widened angrily, and he said loudly:
"Xiaoxiao, Zuo Chengjun's daughter. Don't associate with her."
After Zheng Yuanchao finished speaking, he dropped the phone, turned around and said something to the policeman inside, and slowly returned to the prison without looking back.
Zheng Xingzhong's heart was broken. He had no intention of hurting his father. He just happily informed his father that the high prosecutor was going to review his case, forgetting about Zuo Chengjun's relationship. This made his father angry. If he wanted to make the old man happy, he would have to wait until next time.
