I changed the world.

The next morning, the group from Linzhou, who had rested in Guizhou for a day, left the hotel and began their return journey. Before their departure, Cai Jing, who had come to see them off, brought them the latest news: regarding the case, there had been no change in the information Cai Jing had given at the banquet the day before, and the Nanzhao police would soon use this version of events to finalize the case.

Because this incident involves topics that are likely to attract public attention, such as the Zhaozhong Auction and wealthy merchants in Southeast China, in order to avoid affecting the future of the Zhaozhong Auction and even further damaging the reputation of Nanzhao, Cai Jing said that many influential people in the area have expressed, openly or secretly, their desire not to escalate the matter.

Of course, in order to settle the matter peacefully, the Linzhou merchants who were frightened will be compensated by the insurance company. The amount of compensation is still being negotiated between the Jiangdong Guild Hall and all parties, but it will be around 50 yuan. The dead and injured will be compensated separately.

After a brief discussion, everyone accepted the proposal. After all, for businessmen, there was no need to make enemies of powerful local figures for the sake of such attention, especially since their future business would involve this route. As for the financial compensation, it was simply a gesture of goodwill from the other party.

They departed from Guizhou Tianmen Airport and took a flight back to Linzhou Airport. By the time they arrived in Linzhou, it was already around 14:00 PM. Having just survived a major ordeal, they had no other thoughts on the matter and simply bowed to each other at the airport before heading home.

Back in his residence, Zhang Jing first summoned the Wish Book:

A total of 559 wish points have been added.

Zhang Jing glanced at the back cover of the wishing book; his wishing points had reached 104696. At the current rate, it was estimated that he might break 110000 wishing points in the future. However, Zhang Jing also noticed that several of his major projects that had earned him wishing points had declined, and the rate of increase in wishing points would not be as rapid as before.

In addition, Zhang Jing also noticed that, according to the points on the wishing book, the carjacking incident only had 559 wishing points. It seems that the matter was suppressed by all parties and should not have had a great impact.

..........................................

After retrieving the wish, Zhang Jing first lingered on his bed in the master bedroom for a while, then spent some time online on his laptop, and also bought himself some everyday clothes and shoes. He was gradually developing his own social circle and needed to acquire some more clothing.

About half an hour later, Zhang Jing took out his phone and dialed a number stored in his contacts.

"Hello, Mr. He? Um...yes, it's me." Hearing the warm greeting from the other end of the phone, Zhang Jing exchanged a few pleasantries before getting straight to the point:

"I'd like to ask if it's possible for me to buy the residence in Yunshanfang where I currently live?"

"Um... um... okay, okay, I'll wait for your reply. Um... thank you for your help. That's all, goodbye."

As Zhang Jing had previously told Jin Wang, now that he had enough cash on hand, he planned to acquire some properties, especially since he was currently renting someone else's property, which was somewhat inconvenient.

He was actually quite comfortable living in the current residence, so he was thinking of simply buying it. Of course, whether it would be possible depended on the landlord, so he had just contacted He Zhou, the real estate agent who had previously helped him rent the apartment.

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Jing's phone rang again. After Zhang Jing answered, He Zhou said that he had already had a preliminary conversation with the landlord, who agreed in principle to sell the house. However, there were some relatively complicated circumstances regarding the residence that needed to be explained. Since it was inconvenient to discuss these matters over the phone, He Zhou hoped to visit the property in person later to explain them in person.

Zhang Jing thought about it and then agreed, saying that he was free right now. About half an hour later, Zhang Jing heard the doorbell ring.

Upon opening the door, it was indeed the real estate agent, He Zhou. He looked much the same as before, still dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase. After exchanging greetings, Zhang Jing led him into the private room, gesturing for him to sit on the wooden sofa in the living room. He then brewed two cups of tea, handing one to He Zhou, who quickly stood up to accept the cup with both hands, exchanging a few polite words as he went.

After the host and guest were seated, they chatted briefly about the current state of the house before getting down to business.

“Mr. Zhang, I have confirmed with the landlord, Mr. Zhao, the possibility of selling this property. Generally speaking, Mr. Zhao is willing to sell it. After all, he has now settled in the capital, and his main life and business focus are there. He doesn't have much energy to manage the house in Linzhou. If he can convert it into cash, it would be a good option for him.”

Seeing Zhang Jing nod and listen attentively, He Zhou continued, "However, there is another situation regarding this property. Mr. Zhao's father originally owned a large contiguous tea plantation, and the exact land area on the land deed in Mr. Zhao's possession is 53 mu. In other words, in addition to the residence you currently live in and the back mountain, there is also a nearby adjacent Longxu tea plantation of about 50 mu, which is also within the scope of the land deed."

"So, if I want to buy this mansion, I have to buy the surrounding tea plantations as well?" Zhang Jing understood He Zhou's meaning and said thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's what Mr. Zhao means. He's willing to sell the property entirely, but he doesn't want to split it up. After all, it's too much trouble for him, and splitting the title deed would require an additional expense."

"I see..." Zhang Jing took a sip of tea, not replying immediately. This was indeed somewhat unexpected for him, since he had never been involved in the tea industry, either in his past life or this one.

“Actually, if Mr. Zhang’s budget is suitable, this is a good investment opportunity.” Seeing that Zhang Jing did not answer for a long time, He Zhou was determined to make the deal go through and continued, “As you know, Linzhou Longxu Tea is one of the top three famous teas among the ten famous teas. Every year after the spring tea harvest, the royal family would send people to purchase a batch for reserves.”

Before I came here, I did some research. The core production area of ​​Linzhou Longxu tea is about 5000 mu (approximately 333 hectares), scattered across various production areas around Yunhu Lake. The distribution is rather fragmented, and each production area is not very large. It should be said that due to the urban expansion of Linzhou, the supply of Longxu tea is the smallest among many famous teas, hence its consistently high price.

He Zhou picked up his teacup and took a sip. Seeing that he had successfully attracted Zhang Jing's attention, he continued, "There are about 230 acres of tea plantations in the area near Yunshanfang. Mr. Zhao's tea garden is a contiguous area, accounting for about a quarter of the total area. Such a large tea garden is rarely seen for sale in the market. Mr. Zhang, it is no exaggeration to say that this is indeed an industry that can be passed down to future generations."

“To be honest, Mr. He, I have never had any experience in managing tea gardens, so I really don’t know how to manage this Longxu Tea Garden,” Zhang Jing said, frowning.

PS: Tour guide Wang was a tour guide employed by a legitimate travel agency, and the company had purchased insurance for him before the trip. Therefore, compensation for his accidental death will be provided by the insurance company. Zhang Jing's suggestion was to offer additional assistance to his family. As for the driver, he was a local hired by the travel agency.
