Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!
Chapter 203 The USB drive somehow ended up in my pocket!
Today is the first day of the Qingming Festival holiday.
Some are on their way home, while others are traveling.
The service area was bustling with people.
Jiang Tao searched for a while before finding an empty space to drive the truck in.
After parking the car, he took his two nephews straight to the spot where he, his father-in-law, and his father had smoked the day before.
That location is easy to spot; it's just a short distance to the left of the public restroom.
When the three men arrived, Jiang Tao saw several workers wearing reflective yellow vests weeding and pruning trees with trimmers.
A chubby man was gesturing and talking to one of the people, who was nodding and bowing repeatedly.
"It seems that the fat guy is in charge."
After seeing the situation, Jiang Tao quickly made a judgment and walked towards the fat man.
"Old Liu, cut down those walnut trees over there, and dig up the roots too."
"The newly purchased five-needle pine tree is on its way and will arrive tomorrow."
"The lawn over there has also been torn up and replaced with new ones."
"besides……"
"Understood, Manager Niu. I'll arrange for people to cut down the tree and dig up the roots immediately."
As Jiang Tao approached, he heard the task the fat man assigned to the worker, and his heart tightened immediately.
I glanced at the watch on my wrist; it was already 10:38 a.m.
There are only twenty-odd minutes left before the mutated walnut tree mentioned in the intelligence is cut down.
Fortunately, the road was clear today; if there had been even a slight traffic jam, we wouldn't have made it in time.
After explaining the work to the workers, the fat man turned and walked away.
Jiang Tao then went up to the worker who looked like a team leader or a junior manager.
"Hello, sir, are you the person in charge here?"
The man looked to be in his forties, so it wasn't abrupt for Jiang Tao to call him "Big Brother."
The man pointed towards the fat man's retreating figure and informed Jiang Tao:
"I'm not in charge, I'm just a worker. The one who just left was the leader."
Jiang Tao pointed to a few walnut trees nearby and asked with a smile:
"It's alright. I just heard you guys talking about cutting down these walnut trees when I was smoking?"
The man nodded and said, "Yes, the boss bought new tree species, and they will be delivered tomorrow. These will all be cut down."
"Brother smokes, but I don't even know your surname."
Jiang Tao first took out a packet of Da Tian Ye from his pocket and put it in his mouth, then handed the rest of the packet to the man.
"My surname is Ma, and my given name is Ma Qingsheng."
When Ma Qingsheng saw the large leaf Jiang Tao handed him, he immediately felt a bit more favorably disposed towards him.
He's been a smoker for decades, so he naturally knows that a pack of Da Tian Ye costs over a hundred yuan, which is several tens of yuan more expensive than Hua Zi.
After Ma Qingsheng accepted the cigarette from Jiang Tao, Jiang Tao took his hand away, the meaning of which was self-evident.
It seemed to be an unspoken understanding among long-time smokers.
After taking one out and putting it in his mouth, Ma Qingsheng naturally put the rest of the cigarettes into his shirt pocket.
Seeing that Ma Qingsheng had accepted his cigarette, Jiang Tao smiled and said:
"Hey bro, you're going to cut down all these trees anyway, so I'd like to buy one and take it home to plant for fun, is that okay?"
Jiang Tao made the word "buy" very clear, stating his position first.
I want to buy the trees, not get them for free.
"Buy trees?"
After hearing Jiang Tao's words, Ma Qingsheng looked at him with a slight sense of doubt.
His expression seemed to say, "Why didn't you buy your trees from a nursery? You came here to buy them from me."
"What a coincidence! You just happened to be cutting it down, and I just happened to want to buy one."
"Brother Ma, you can help me dig up that tree. I have a car and I can haul it away myself. You don't need to worry about the transportation."
"I'll give you 3000 yuan when it's all done, so you can treat everyone to a meal or something."
When Jiang Tao spoke his last few words, he lowered his voice to a decibel level that only he and the man could hear.
"3000?"
Ma Qingsheng was deeply tempted when he heard Jiang Tao's offer!
Treating his team of workers to a meal would only cost him four or five hundred yuan at most, and he could still make a net profit of more than 2000 yuan!
Moreover, these trees were ordered to be cut down by Manager Niu, who also put him in charge of the disposal.
Whether it's felled and thrown away as garbage, or sold to Jiang Tao for profit, it's all up to him.
Why not take the 3000 yuan that's offered to you?
Seeing that Ma Qingsheng seemed interested, Jiang Tao continued:
"Don't worry, Brother Ma! Only the two of us know about this. If anyone asks, just say I helped you take care of the trash."
"Okay! Which one do you want? I'll have someone dig it up for you!"
Ma Qingsheng looked at Jiang Tao, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of 3000 yuan.
This 3000 yuan is like it was given away for free. How many times could I wash my feet with that money?
"Don't refuse a free lunch, or you'll be wasting your time!"
“Brother Ma is so generous, I only want that one! Please tell your men to be careful when digging it up, I need one that can be transplanted and survive.”
Jiang Tao turned around and pointed to the mutated walnut tree that was emitting a dark golden light in his field of vision, and gave Ma Qingsheng a word of advice.
"Okay! No problem, boss, don't worry. We're very professional in landscaping. We guarantee you can plant the trees we dug up."
"I'll arrange it for you!"
After finishing his sentence, Ma Qingsheng strode over to the workers and whispered a few words to them.
The group put down their lawnmowers and shears, and each grabbed a large shovel to start digging up the trees.
The mutated walnut tree was less than 10 centimeters in diameter and its root system was not very developed.
In less than 20 minutes, the workers dug a pit about 1.5 meters deep.
The group worked together to lift the mutated walnut tree that Jiang Tao had specifically requested out of the pit.
Then, under Ma Qingsheng's command, they were directly lifted onto the 4.2-meter truck he had driven.
Jiang Tao immediately transferred 3000 yuan to Ma Qingsheng via WeChat.
This transaction is now complete.
"Second Uncle, you spent 3000 yuan to buy this thing?"
“There are plenty of walnut trees in our village. Just tell me what you want, and I can find one for you without spending a penny.”
Looking at the walnut tree with soil still clinging to its roots, Jiang Shaojie felt that his second uncle had overpaid.
Jiang Tao laughed and said, "What do you know, kid? Do you think your uncle would do a losing business?"
"Just wait and see, this walnut tree will earn me back a hundred or a thousand times the money I spent on it."
"Make it back a hundredfold or a thousandfold? That would take forever!"
Jiang Shaojie quickly did some mental calculations.
100 times 3000 yuan is 30 yuan.
A 1000-fold increase would amount to a staggering 300 million!
How many walnuts would you have to sell to earn 300 million?!
However, my second uncle doesn't seem like the type to brag.
Could it be that this tree can bear golden walnuts or something?!
Jiang Shijie asked, "Second Uncle, what should we do now? Go home?"
"Are you missing your girlfriend, kid?"
After jokingly teasing his nephew, Jiang Tao said:
"You two brothers stay here and watch the car and the trees for me. I have something to do and need to leave for a bit."
After instructing his two nephews, Jiang Tao took a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums from the truck bed and turned to walk away. Once Jiang Tao was out of sight, Jiang Shaojie nudged his brother's arm and whispered:
"Brother, do you think Uncle is secretly going on dates with other women behind Aunt's and our backs?"
Jiang Shijie glared at his younger brother: "Don't talk nonsense, your second uncle isn't that kind of person."
Jiang Shaojie said, "Then what's with him holding those flowers?"
"What the hell... who the hell gives a woman a chrysanthemum on a date?! You idiot!"
As Jiang Shijie was speaking, he flicked his own silly younger brother on the forehead.
Jiang Tao had no idea that the two brothers were talking about him behind his back.
He was staring intently at the real-world map on his retina.
About 300 meters away from his location, a yellow dot the size of a quail egg was flashing continuously.
Jiang Tao deliberately parked his car far away from the zombie car mentioned in the intelligence report, which would make it easier for him to carry out his mission.
In the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, Jiang Tao walked to the vicinity of the zombie car mentioned in the intelligence report.
This car is a white Volkswagen Bora with a Hebei license plate.
The car was covered with a thick layer of dust.
The roof of the car looked like a bird's toilet, with all sorts of white and yellow droppings.
The car windows were completely covered in dust, making it impossible to see inside the car.
A vacuum zone appeared around the car.
The two parking spaces on either side were empty; no one wanted to park next to it.
Jiang Tao stepped forward and placed the bouquet of chrysanthemums he was holding outside the windshield of the Bora.
"Although I don't know if you are male or female, old or young, I hope you can be reborn into a good family in your next life."
"Thank you for your Bitcoin too."
Jiang Tao muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt as if someone had touched his right trouser pocket.
Jiang Tao suddenly looked down at his pocket and felt that there was something extra inside.
He reached inside and touched something cold and icy.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a stainless steel folding USB flash drive that looked about the size of a middle finger!
Furthermore, the USB drive emitted a dark golden light in his field of vision.
Clearly, this is the USB drive that Tongzi Ge mentioned in his intelligence report!
On the way here, Jiang Tao was still worried about how he could get his hands on the USB drive without anyone noticing in broad daylight.
Before he could even do anything, the USB drive had already disappeared into his pocket!
"Thanks!"
Jiang Tao looked at the abandoned car, sincerely thanked it, and then turned to leave.
When passing the entrance to the service area's sales hall, Jiang Tao bought six donkey meat sandwiches made entirely of meat from a food stall outside.
And I paid an extra 10 yuan for each one to ask the owner to add some meat, making it a plus version of donkey meat sandwich.
The donkey meat sandwiches in B state are not as authentic as those in B state, but they still taste pretty good.
The outside of the grill is roasted to a golden brown and crispy, while the inside of the donkey meat is stewed until tender and flavorful.
A baked bun costs around 30 yuan, which is worth it.
After buying the baked buns, I went into the convenience store in the service area and bought a few bottles of Red Bull and a few bottles of Oriental Leaf tea.
I definitely won't be able to go home for lunch today, so I'll just grab something quick outside.
"Second Uncle, you're back!"
"Second uncle."
When the two brothers saw their second uncle carrying large and small bags, they quickly went up to help him.
Jiang Tao laughed and said, "The three of us will just have a quick bite for lunch, and I'll take you two to the Magnolia Hotel for a big meal tonight."
"Magnolia! I've never been to such a fancy restaurant before! Second Uncle, can we take pictures there?"
"I'm going to take lots of photos so I can show off at school when it starts!"
Upon hearing that they were going to have dinner at Baiyulan, Jiang Shaojie immediately became excited.
“Shoot as many as you want. Your aunt has a DJI P3, you can borrow it to shoot a vlog.”
As Jiang Tao said this with a smile, he handed the extra-large donkey meat sandwiches from the bag to the two brothers.
"Wow, it's donkey meat sandwich! So much meat! Let me take a picture first!"
After receiving the donkey meat sandwich, Jiang Shaojie first took out his phone and snapped a few pictures.
The three of them chatted while finishing off their donkey meat sandwiches and Oriental Leaf tea.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Tao drove the three of them back home.
The journey back wasn't as smooth as the journey there.
We kept stopping and starting along the way, and what should have been a two-hour journey took us more than three hours!
Fortunately, I had my two nephews to chat with, and I also got plenty of sleep last night in [sound sleep mode].
Jiang Tao did not show any signs of drowsiness while driving.
When the three of them drove back to Jiangjiazhuang, it was already past 4 p.m.
Jiang Tao's house was locked. Xu Li had taken Jiang Xue to her mother's house and wouldn't be back until evening.
After Jiang Tao opened the door, the three of them carried the mutated walnut tree into the yard.
He then directed the two brothers to dig a hole near the west wall of the yard and replant the tree in it.
Following Ma Qingsheng's instructions, they fertilized and watered the plants.
"You two have worked hard all day coming out with me, here's your pay."
After planting the trees, Jiang Tao smiled and took out two handfuls of money from his pocket, handing them to his eldest nephew and youngest nephew respectively.
Since obtaining the "Money Makes Money" card, Jiang Tao has been receiving 1 yuan in cash every day, and he is never short of cash.
"Hehe, thanks, Second Uncle!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
The two brothers didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Tao. After thanking him, they reached out and took the money.
Jiang Shaojie touched the thickness of the cash in his hand and secretly estimated that it was at least 3000 yuan.
He had only gone out with his second uncle and hadn't done anything, yet he received this "salary".
My second uncle is such a good friend!
"Come meet me at my house around 6 p.m., let's go have some fun."
After Jiang Tao finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal that the two brothers could leave.
"Goodbye, Uncle!"
Goodbye, Second Uncle!
The two brothers waved goodbye to Jiang Tao excitedly and ran out the door.
After seeing the two brothers off, Jiang Tao returned to the living room and took out the Bitcoin key from his pocket.
He didn't know much about Bitcoin.
All I know is that this thing is a globally renowned cryptocurrency.
Furthermore, it is of high value.
In many online novels, some male protagonists, after being reborn, will take advantage of the initial issuance of Bitcoin to hoard it and wait for its value to appreciate, thus achieving financial freedom.
Jiang Tao took out his phone, opened the browser, and checked today's Bitcoin trading price.
"752358!"
One Bitcoin can be exchanged for over 750,000 RMB.
Intelligence indicates that this USB drive contains two, totaling over 150 million. (End of Chapter)
