Chapter 193 New Intelligence: Investment Projects, Infidelity, and Diamond Rings!

Today's Intelligence 01:
You had contact with Xu Wencheng yesterday and obtained relevant intelligence—

Xu Wencheng's company is seeking external financing, but has a funding gap of 600 million yuan.

With an annual return of 20%, this investment is of high quality and worth holding for the long term.

[Note 1]: This project is an industrial investment that can generate value for society.

The returns generated by this investment project can be doubled using Monopoly dice.

……

"Your winnings can be doubled using Monopoly dice!"

Originally, Jiang Tao was not very interested in the investment, which had an annual return of only 20%.

However, the final note states that the project's profits can be doubled using Monopoly dice!
This piqued Jiang Tao's interest greatly!

Even if he rolls the lowest number, "1", his guaranteed return is 40%!

If you roll a 6, wouldn't you break even in a year and make the rest pure profit?

"We must invest in this project!"

After reading the first intelligence report, Jiang Tao decisively decided to invest in the project!
Fortunately, he still has some spare money on hand.

Moreover, my father-in-law's company has been established for over thirty years.

The company's sales have been steadily increasing every year, making it a high-quality enterprise.

Jiang Tao had no worries about investing in such a company and was quite at ease.

After analyzing the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao had an idea and continued to look at the next one.

Today's Intelligence 02:
You had contact with Shan Yang yesterday and obtained relevant information—

Shan Yang's wife, Hong Mei, had an affair with a male personal trainer at the gym who was nine years younger than him.

Timely reminders can help Shan Yang stop his losses in time.

……

"Goat's wife..."

Upon seeing the second piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao felt sorry for Shan Yang and was speechless.

Jiang Tao had never met Shan Yang's wife, Hong Mei, in person, but he had seen photos of her in Shan Yang's WeChat Moments.

She was only about 1.5 meters tall, short and chubby, with a round face and thick eyebrows, resembling Fu Shou'er.

Moreover, according to some information Jiang Tao had gathered, Hong Mei, like himself, was a farmer from another region.

After marrying Shan Yang, she stayed at home without working and had no source of income.

In other words, the money she spent on gym memberships and personal training sessions came from Shan Yang's earnings!

For someone like Hongmei, finding a husband like Shan Yang, who owns a house in Beijing and has no mortgage, is definitely considered marrying up.

Even so, she was still not satisfied.

"I'll find a chance to remind Goat tomorrow, so he won't be so clueless and still in the dark."

"His wife is spending his money to hook up with private trainers; she's gone too far."

After silently mourning for Shan Yang for a few seconds, Jiang Tao had a sudden thought and continued to look at the last intelligence report of the day.

Today's Intelligence 03:
You had contact with Xu Sha yesterday and obtained relevant information—

Xu Sha passed through a grove of trees while doing a live broadcast at Oasis Water Town Park last night.

Inside a bird's nest in one of the trees was a Tiffany Paloma's Melody diamond ring worth 38 yuan.

[Note]: There are 5 hours and 014 minutes remaining until the diamond ring is taken away by the bird.

……

"A Tiffany diamond ring worth 38!"

Upon seeing the ring mentioned in the last piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up again!
Jiang Tao had naturally heard of Tiffany & Co., a top global luxury brand.

Although he didn't know what the Paloma's Melody series meant.

But that's not important!
It's enough to know that the diamond ring is worth over 38!
Due to its high brand value, Tiffany's value retention rate is also quite good.

The price for secondhand items is around 70%.

A ring worth 38 yuan can be resold for around 26.6 yuan!
Even without proper documentation and a purchase invoice, the price can be reduced by 1%.

This ring could sell for around 22!
"This sister-in-law is a good match. Selling this ring would be enough to pay her two years' salary."

"Alright, let's make another trip to the park and get that ring first."

The third piece of information noted that there wasn't much time left.

Moreover, during the daytime, there are too many people around, making it difficult to move around.

Jiang Tao had no choice but to get out of bed and start putting on his clothes.

I got dressed and tiptoed out the door.

I changed into a set of work clothes in the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class downstairs.

Jiang Tao got into the car, started the engine, and drove towards the residential area.

Oasis Water Town Park is less than 1 kilometer away from Baigezhuang Community.

Jiang Tao arrived at the park entrance in less than 3 minutes by car.

After parking the car at the entrance, he got out and walked into the park.

Following the map on his retina, Jiang Tao quickly arrived at a dense forest and stood directly below the red dot.

Looking up, Jiang Tao saw the powerful flashlight in his hand shining upwards.

Sure enough, we saw a bird's nest in the tree branch above.

Fluttering, fluttering~
Several birds, of unknown species, that were perched on the treetops flapped their wings and flew away after hearing the commotion below.

At the same time, a notification message flashed on Jiang Tao's retina.

Did you spend 7777 yuan to obtain the target item?

"no."

Jiang Tao decisively refused this time.

The tree next to him is about 20 centimeters in diameter, which is quite suitable for climbing.

The bird's nest was only about seven or eight meters above the ground, not very high.

Climbing the tree yourself to collect the money can save you over 7000 to nearly 8000 yuan.

I've almost saved up a month's salary.

Although Jiang Tao is now a genuine multi-millionaire.

But in daily life, they are still quite frugal.

We should save the 8000 yuan if possible!
That's enough to feed a family well for a month.

Coincidentally, he also wanted to test just how high his current 88-point physique really was.

Jiang Tao turned off the powerful flashlight and put it back in his pocket, rubbed his hands together, and then climbed up the tree trunk.

clap clap clap...

He moved his arms up and down, and his legs coiled around the trunk like the roots of an old tree.

Jiang Tao's body moved quickly upwards with his climbing movements, as agile as a monkey.

In less than 30 seconds, he had already climbed to a position where his line of sight was level with the bird's nest.

I looked into the bird's nest by the silvery moonlight.

Besides the four smooth bird eggs, there was indeed a diamond ring that shone with a dark golden light.

"It's you!"

Jiang Tao hugged the tree trunk tightly with his left arm to secure himself to the tree, and reached out with his right hand to take the Tiffany diamond ring in his hand.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary bird's nest would hide a diamond ring worth more than 30 to nearly 40 yuan!

After putting the diamond ring in the pocket of his work clothes, Jiang Tao quickly climbed down the tree like a monkey.

With his strong physical strength, climbing trees is as easy as breathing for him.

When Jiang Tao stood up again, he was neither red-faced nor out of breath. Apart from some dust from the trees smudged on his work clothes, there was nothing unusual about him.

"An 88-point physique is already that impressive."

"Once I complete the two special missions triggered by Jiang Yi and Xu Li's father, my physique will exceed 100 points." "With a physique exceeding 100 points, my athletic performance should be quite impressive!"

"The task of becoming a sports star is not difficult for me to complete."

Jiang Tao pondered for a moment and gained a clearer understanding of his current physical condition.

Even though he doesn't yet have a complete grasp of his body and muscle tissue, and can't effectively unleash his full potential.

But compared to before, he's improved so much.

"I'll ask Shan Yang to help me test my running time another day. I'm sure it's improved a lot since then."

While thinking about what to do in the coming period of time.

Jiang Tao didn't linger in the grove any longer and turned to walk towards the park entrance.

It was past midnight, and the park was quiet and deserted.

No one noticed that Jiang Tao had visited the place and taken away a diamond ring worth nearly 40 yuan.

Jiang Tao drove back to his apartment complex and took the elevator home at just over 1 a.m.

After spending 66 yuan to activate [Sleep Mode], I started to sleep!
Silent all night.

Early the next morning.

When Jiang Tao woke up, Xu Li had just returned from Jiang Xue's school bus ride.

During the meal, the conversation drifted to plans and arrangements for the Qingming Festival.

In Jiang Tao's hometown, there is a custom of paying respects to ancestors and sweeping tombs during the Qingming Festival.

My dad is the only son in the family; he has no siblings.

My mother still has to take care of visiting and sweeping my grandparents' graves.

After discussing it, the group decided to set off for their hometown after lunch the next day.

Jiang Tao's family consists of five people, and his father-in-law's family consists of three people.

The two families drove back in separate cars, so they could look out for each other on the way.

It's been decided that I'll be going back to my hometown for the Qingming Festival holiday.

My parents went downstairs to the food factory to oversee their work.

There are already more than a dozen employees at the food factory.

My parents' jobs are now much simpler and easier than before.

All they needed to do was simmer the sauce for the eight-treasure pickles in that enclosed, sealed room.

Other employees handle the remaining tasks such as processing ingredients, jarring, unjarring, packaging, and sterilization.

Xu Li also went to Building 62 and invited her mother and younger sister to go shopping.

It's customary to bring back local specialties from Beijing for relatives and friends when returning to one's hometown during the Qingming Festival holiday.

Jiang Tao had other things to do today, so he didn't go shopping with Xu Li and the others.

He was going to Panjiayuan to sell some things to Zhang Bo.

Lately, I've been busy accompanying my father-in-law's family on their trip, and also dealing with things at my new company.

Jiang Tao hasn't been to Panjiayuan for a while.

He had already accumulated some supplies that he needed to sell and cash out.

For example, the meteorite that was retrieved from the water pit near Xiaoshahe Village.

And then there's the 400-gram gold bar we found inside the fish's belly the night before last.

This thing is of unknown origin and has a bloody aura, so it's best to get rid of it as soon as possible.

And then there's the Tiffany ring I pulled out of the bird's nest last night.

The combined value of these three items is at least 1.6 to 1.7 million, almost 2 million!

Although Jiang Tao has acquired quite a few antiques during this period, he has no interest in collecting them.

He still prefers money.

Exchange goods for money, and then make the money generate more money.

After driving out of the residential area alone, Jiang Tao first found a place to pull over and park.

Then I opened the "China Unicom Small Number" app on my phone.

When he sent a message to He Jing reminding her that there was a camera installed by the landlord in her room, he had opened an annual membership on a China Unicom secondary number and created a virtual number.

Using this virtual number to send text messages can effectively hide your personal information.

Jiang Tao's fingers flew across the virtual keyboard on the screen.

He quickly edited a message, found Shan Yang's phone number, and clicked send!
"Brother, this is all I can do to help you."

After sending the message to Shan Yang, Jiang Tao tossed his phone onto the passenger seat and continued driving towards Panjiayuan.

Around 10 a.m., Jiang Tao drove his car to a paid parking lot near the antique street.

After parking his car, he strode towards the antique street, carrying the few items he planned to sell that day.

Today is April 2nd, Wednesday, a workday.

However, the antique street was still bustling with people, with pedestrians coming and going, creating a busy scene.

Jiang Tao knew the place well and quickly arrived at the entrance of Boya Auction House.

The store had just opened and there were no other customers inside yet.

When Jiang Tao entered, he saw Zhang Bo dozing off behind his desk.

"Hey! Brother Jiang! It's been a while! I'm so sorry to have been so late in welcoming you!"

Upon seeing Jiang Tao enter, Zhang Bo instantly woke up from his drowsiness, jumped up from his seat, and greeted him with a smile.

Jiang Tao chuckled and joked, "Your job is so splendid, kid. You just sit there all day and wait for people to bring you money."

"Hehe, Brother Jiang, you're joking. We're just a small business, nothing compared to yours!"

Zhang Bo smiled modestly; he dared not presume in front of Jiang Tao, and instead asked:
"Brother Jiang definitely doesn't come here without a reason. Is he here today to offer some kind of treasure?"

"You guessed right. I did acquire some good stuff recently. Take a look and give me an estimate."

Jiang Tao didn't beat around the bush with Zhang Bo.

She reached into a handbag he was casually holding and took out a square jewelry box, about 10 centimeters on each side.

And a strip wrapped in white toilet paper, and a small box with sides only 3 centimeters long.

The three items were placed one by one on a small table. Jiang Tao smiled and said:
There are three items in total. Please take a look at them.

"Alright! Brother Jiang, just a moment!"

When Zhang Bo saw that Jiang Tao took out three items at once, he knew that a big business opportunity had come his way!
Open the first strip wrapped in toilet paper.

Zhang Bo saw that inside was a gleaming gold bar with the words "400g" engraved on it.

"Brother, we've always wrapped gold bars in toilet paper at home!"

Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao and jokingly said something with a smile.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "I'm too lazy to look for anything else. What's the buyback price today?"

Zhang Bo said, "Today's gold buyback price is 750."

"Okay! Let's go with your price."

Jiang Tao nodded, having no objection to the price.

He trusted Zhang Bo completely, knowing that Zhang Bo wouldn't ruin their relationship over such a small amount of gold.

"Brother Jiang, please wait a moment while I go and test the ingredients."

From a business perspective, although Zhang Bo also considers Jiang Tao a good friend, the necessary procedures cannot be omitted.

This is beneficial for everyone.

True gold can withstand scrutiny, but it's best not to test people's hearts.

Tests showed that the gold bar belonging to Jiang Tao had a purity of 999‰.

It's a genuine piece of 24K gold.

The buyback price is 30.
