Chapter 194 Special Mission: Cooperation and Win-Win!
The second small box was opened.

Inside was the diamond ring that Jiang Tao had just taken out of the bird's nest last night.

"Hey, this is a diamond ring from Tiffany's Paloma's Melody collection!"

Zhang Bo's family runs an antique auction house. In addition to studying antiques, he also has some knowledge of luxury goods.

The moment he saw the diamond ring in the box, he knew its name perfectly.

He took a pair of white silk gloves out of his pocket and put them on.

Zhang Bo held the diamond ring up to his eyes and examined it for more than three minutes.

Then they used the thermal conductivity meter and microscope, which are specially used in their store to identify diamonds, to observe them in detail.

"This ring is also genuine, it's authentic!"

After some examination, Zhang Bo confirmed the ring's authenticity and looked at Jiang Tao with increasing fervor.

Luxury rings like those from Tiffany & Co. can generate substantial profits from buying and selling.

Jiang Tao didn't waste any words with Zhang Bo and asked directly, "How much do you want?"

Zhang Bo thought for a moment and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't care about 20, but for Brother Jiang, I can make it 23 for you."

"Okay! Then it'll be 23."

Jiang Tao didn't want to visit other people's houses anymore.

Zhang Bo's offer basically met his expectations, so he readily agreed.

Zhang Bo laughed and said, "Doing business with Brother Jiang is so much fun!"

Jiang Tao laughed and joked, "You little shrewd businessman, do you think I'm honest and easy to fool?"

Zhang Bo chuckled and said, "How could I? I'd never cheat anyone but you, Brother Jiang! You're my lucky charm!"

Jiang Tao joked, "What God of Wealth? I'm your lucky charm."

"Hehe, it's a win-win situation! We only earn a little bit of hard-earned money, nothing compared to Brother Jiang."

Zhang Bo chuckled as he opened the largest wooden box.

The moment the wooden box was opened, a strong smell of rotten peanut butter wafted into the room.

The dark meteorite inside the box was also revealed to Zhang Bo.

"Huh, this is... a meteorite!"

Upon seeing the meteorite, Zhang Bo's eyes lit up.

Their family has also been involved in the business of rare stones and has traded meteorites.

But meteorites like Jiang Tao's, which emit a peculiar smell, are truly rare.

"I bought this from a herdsman when I was traveling a while ago. Do you buy these?"

Jiang Tao naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he made up a lie to fool Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo said, "I am taking it in, but this area has touched on my blind spot. Brother Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll make a video call to my dad and let him take a look."

"You still need to practice, kid."

Jiang Tao chuckled and joked, revealing a certain respect for Zhang Bo's father, who was either fishing or on his way to fish.

Even without being physically present, Zhang Long only needs a quick glance at a screen to determine the authenticity of an item before he dares to pay a high price for it.

Zhang Long's expertise in antiques is no less than that of Qingquan, who has become a sensation online in the past two years.

beep-

Zhang Bo quickly dialed his father's number.

The screen on the phone flashed, revealing the greasy face of a disheveled man with a stubble beard.

Judging from the background, Zhang Long is fishing right now.

"What's wrong, son? Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up. I'm busy here."

Zhang Long's nonchalant voice rang out.

Since the shop was handed over to his son, Old Zhang has completely let loose and made fishing his second career.

"Dad, Brother Jiang is here. He brought some rare stuff with him today. We'd like you to take a look at it."

Zhang Bo was too lazy to complain about his old man anymore. After speaking, he turned his phone camera around and pointed it at the meteorite that Jiang Tao had brought on the table.

"Wow! Little Jiang is really resourceful; he can get his hands on anything!"

"This thing is a meteorite!"

Zhang Long glanced at it and immediately discerned something significant, then pressed for an answer:
"Does this stuff smell like rotten peanut butter?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Dad, how did you know! You're amazing!"

Upon hearing his father's words, Zhang Bo was immediately filled with respect and realized the gap between himself and his father.

"Xiao Jiang is an acquaintance, so give me a fair price: 6000 yuan per gram."

"If he offers it, we'll take it."

"I feel the price is not right. We will cooperate again when there are other opportunities in the future."

"Oh dear! I caught a fish, but it got caught, it got caught!"

Zhang Long finished speaking and hung up the phone before Zhang Bo could reply.

Zhang Bo heard his father's quote clearly.

6000 yuan per gram!!

This jet-black stone, which looks like a carbon ball, is several times more expensive than gold!
Currently, the market price of gold is only around 800 yuan, and that is still at a high level!
Two years ago, a gram of gold only cost three or four hundred yuan!

The price of this meteorite far exceeded Zhang Bo's wildest imagination!

He was unsure if he had misheard and wanted to call his dad again to ask.

It was as if she knew what he was thinking.

Zhang Bo's phone chimed with a message from his father, Zhang Long, on WeChat.

The text clearly states the purchase price as 6000 yuan per gram!
"Brother Jiang, you heard what my dad just said. 6000 is the highest price we can offer. What do you think..."

Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao, seeking his opinion.

"Okay! 6000 it is! Your dad has spoken, so I'll definitely give him face."

Upon hearing Zhang Long's offer, Jiang Tao readily agreed, and his liking for Zhang Long increased even more.

Old Zhang is a really good person!

According to the information provided by Brother Tongzi at the time.

The meteorite is worth around 88.8.

The meteorite weighs approximately 140 grams, and according to Zhang Long's quote, its total value is about 84 yuan.

This price is only slightly more than 4 yuan different from the price given by Tongzi Ge, which is not a big difference.

Furthermore, Jiang Tao felt that if he didn't sell it and took it to someone else, he probably wouldn't get a higher price.

He was too lazy to bother with it anymore, so he simply sold them all at once.

"Alright! I'll go weigh Brother Jiang first!"

After Zhang Bo finished speaking, he took the box containing the meteorite and walked towards a control panel on the side.

There is a very precise electronic scale on the control panel.

This electronic scale is accurate to a fraction of a gram.

Electronic scales are needed when buying and selling precious metals or diamond rings.

Zhang Bo placed the meteorite on a small scale with his gloved hands, which displayed the value 140.01.

"Brother Jiang, the weight is 140.01 grams. At 6000 yuan per gram, that's exactly 840060 yuan."

After weighing the item, Zhang Bo turned to Jiang Tao and gave him a price.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Let's round it up to 84. I'll treat you to milk tea for 60 yuan."

"Hehe, Brother Jiang is so generous! Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

Zhang Bo didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Tao. The 60 yuan was negligible to both of them, so there was no need to haggle over such a small amount.

"Gold bars are worth 30, diamond rings are worth 23, and this meteorite is worth exactly 84, so the total is..."

Zhang Bo picked up a calculator on the table and quickly calculated a total for Jiang Tao.

"The total price of the three items is 137 million! Should we transfer it to Brother Jiang's previous account?" Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Yes, transfer it to the previous account."

"Okay! Brother Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll transfer the money to you right away!"

Zhang Bo has always been very generous with his money.

After saying that, he took out his phone and started transferring money to Jiang Tao.

In less than five minutes, Jiang Tao received a transfer of 137 million yuan from Boya Auction House as payment for the goods.

Jingle Bell--

Just after Zhang Bo finished transferring money to Jiang Tao, his phone suddenly rang. It was a video call from his father.

"Hey Dad, what's up?"

Zhang Bo answered the call and saw two faces appear on his phone screen.

One was his father, and the other was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as his father.

Seeing this, Zhang Bo was also somewhat surprised.

Zhang Long asked with a smile, "Son, has Xiao Jiang left yet?"

Zhang Bo replied truthfully, "No, Brother Jiang is still here. We just finished our transaction."

Zhang Long said, "Then give him your phone and let him see who's next to me."

"Oh, Brother Jiang, here's your phone."

Zhang Bo was somewhat confused, but he still handed his phone to Jiang Tao.

"Uncle Zhang, hey, Dad, what are you two doing together!"

Jiang Tao took Zhang Bo's phone and couldn't help but smile when he saw the two of them together on the screen.

Coincidentally, the person with Zhang Long was none other than Xu Wencheng, Jiang Tao's father-in-law.

"Haha, Xiao Tao, I met Brother Zhang Long while fishing these past few days. I didn't expect you two to know each other too. What a coincidence!"

"It's a bit of a coincidence; the three of us have names that seem to be connected."

"Haha, who says otherwise! So you're Old Xu's son-in-law! Your father-in-law is a good fisherman and a decent person too!"

"Haha, that's right. Birds of a feather flock together. The fact that Uncle Zhang can get along with my dad means we're kindred spirits."

“Indeed, I love hearing what you said! Meeting is fate. I’ll treat you to a meal sometime, so our two families can sit together.”

"Okay! Absolutely."

"You should visit my Zhang Bo more often in the future. Even if you don't have any business dealings, you can still get together for a meal or a drink."

"Uncle Zhang is right. Zhang Bo and I have always had a pretty good relationship."

“You and your father-in-law are just like each other, you can get along well. I, Lao Zhang, don’t have many friends, but they are all good friends. I treat you two as friends, so you don’t need to treat me and my son as outsiders in the future.”

"Alright! Uncle Zhang is right. I've never treated you as outsiders. I always buy things from you."

That's right!

"..."

Jiang Tao and Zhang Long chatted on the phone for another five or six minutes before hanging up.

"Brother Jiang, let's have lunch together. I'll invite Li Ming too. It's been a while since we two brothers sat down together."

Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao with a smile, his face showing a very sincere expression.

"This time it's my treat! Neither you nor Li Ming should try to take it from me. You call him."

This wasn't the first time Jiang Tao had eaten with Li Ming and Zhang Bo; he remembered that the two brothers had treated him the previous two times.

When it comes to treating someone to a meal, there's a sense of reciprocity; you can't always accept invitations without ever reciprocating.

Friendships between friends are built up through give and take.

If you always want to take advantage and don't want to give anything in return, the relationship definitely won't last long.

[Ding! Your friendship with Zhang Bo has increased by 1 point, now at 67 points (Friends)!]

As soon as Jiang Tao finished speaking, a notification message suddenly appeared on his retina.

Upon seeing this notification, Jiang Tao's eyes lit up.

If such a friendship notification appears, it means that Brother Tongzi also approves of the person and considers them a friend worth getting to know better.

When Jiang Tao's friendship points reach 90, he will receive a cash reward of 100 million.

You can also get a 'Friendship Boat' that can be redeemed for a real-world luxury yacht.

"Okay! I'll call Li Ming!"

Zhang Bo didn't argue with Jiang Tao. After speaking, he took out his phone, found Li Ming's number, and dialed it.

Upon answering the phone, Li Ming immediately agreed to the invitation when he heard that Jiang Tao was treating him.

Jiang Tao's previous phone call saved Li Ming from losses of several million yuan.

From then on, Li Ming also recognized Jiang Tao as his elder brother.

Li Ming arrived less than twenty minutes after Zhang Bo hung up the phone.

"What has Brother Jiang been busy with lately? He hasn't come to see me and Zhang Bo for a while."

As soon as Li Ming entered the room and saw Jiang Tao, he greeted him with a warm smile.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "My father-in-law's family came to Beijing for tourism. I'm busy hosting them. Business at the parking lot must be good lately."

Li Ming laughed and said, "It's alright, just some money to cover my expenses and hard-earned money. It can't compare to a rich second-generation like Young Master Zhang."

"What nonsense! Stop pretending to be poor. In front of you, Young Master Li, I wouldn't dare call myself a rich second-generation. I'd be more like a poor second-generation!"

Zhang Bo chuckled and cursed, but what he said was actually true.

Li Ming usually keeps a low profile and always drives a second-hand car, but this guy is definitely a rich second-generation.

The total value of the used cars stockpiled at Li Ming's car dealership alone is fifty to sixty million yuan.

His father is a general contractor and can earn 20 to 30 million yuan a year.

After so many years of accumulation, Li Ming's family assets are at least a small fortune.

"Hey! To be honest, my dad's been working on a big project lately."

“We used all our family’s money to cover the costs, and we also borrowed more than 2000 million yuan from the bank.”

"I'm currently making a living by trading credit cards at the parking lot. It's so tough for me!"

Li Ming smiled wryly, his face full of helplessness.

Zhang Bo exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Uncle Li's project this time must have cost over 100 million! That's a huge sum!"

"I'm just a lousy car salesman, I don't understand or ask about those investments."

Li Ming looked at Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo, and asked jokingly:

"Zhang Bo, Brother Jiang, why don't you two invest in our car park and become shareholders?"

"Although the competition in our industry is getting fiercer, traffic is always concentrated at the top."

"Whoever has the largest scale and the strongest strength will make more money."

“Our parking lot is barely considered top-tier in Beijing, and it’s quite well-known.”

"Earning 1500 million a year is no problem."
