I lent my brother 500 yuan, and he offered his wife as collateral.

……

"Five hundred million."

Qian Wanda stretched out a chubby hand, with three gold rings on his five fingers that dazzled people under the lights.

Manager Wang's professional fake smile froze, the veins on his neck bulged, and his voice became shrill and distorted:

"How much did you say?!"

"Five hundred million." Qian Wanda looked completely innocent, even picking his ear with his little finger and flicking out a non-existent clump of earwax. "What, Manager Wang thinks it's too much? How about four hundred and fifty million?"

"Qian Wanda! You're taking advantage of our misfortune!!"

Manager Wang was so angry that he was trembling all over, and his finger was shaking as he pointed at Qian Wanda.

That's the wealth accumulated by the Gu family over generations!

The three prime shops in the city center are like golden hens that can lay golden eggs in the prime location of Sichuan.

The annual rent for the two Grade A office buildings is astronomical.

Not to mention the seven pieces of Ming and Qing dynasty imperial porcelain in the warehouse; any one of them could fetch tens of millions at auction!

All of these items together have a market valuation of at least 1.5 billion.

One billion is already a rock-bottom price that the Su family is willing to bleed.

Five hundred million?

What's the difference between this and outright robbery?

"Mr. Qian, isn't this a bit excessive?" The elderly man in the Tang suit next to him couldn't stand it any longer and said with a frown, "If these assets were gradually liquidated, they would be worth at least a billion. You've cut too much."

"ruthless?"

Qian Wanda chuckled and twirled the black card between his fingers.

"Old man, that's not how you do it."

He turned around and faced the entire room. His previously憨笑的胖肉 (honest and simple-minded smile) suddenly tightened, revealing a ruthless and domineering aura that came from years of experience in the business world.

"The billions you mentioned are just an estimated value; they're dead money that needs time to be converted into cash."

Qian Wanda suddenly raised his hand, pointing at the constantly vibrating phone in Manager Wang's hand, "Can the Su family wait?!"

"Everyone here is a person of importance. Who dares to confidently say that they can immediately transfer 500 million in cash from their personal account?"

Several people at the scene claimed to have a net worth of tens of billions.

but.

Let alone 500 million, no one can even come up with 100 million.

Qian Wanda has a total of 800 million yuan in liquid funds, of which 500 million yuan was raised by selling assets to help Qin Feng raise money some time ago.

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.

No one dared to respond.

Everyone is an asset; mobilizing hundreds of millions of yuan in cash flow in the middle of the night—only Wanda could do that.

Manager Wang gritted his teeth, his eyes sweeping across the room with a sinister glint in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen! Eight hundred million! Only eight hundred million! If anyone offers this price, the Su family will do them a favor! From now on, the Su family will guarantee them unimpeded access to the Southwest region!"

Human relationships are a good thing.

Normally, even if it were just to curry favor with the Su family, they would have begged and pleaded to scrape together those eight hundred million.

But today is different.

The "Dragon-Suppressing Stone" that was shattered and lying on the ground is still there, covered in blood.

The Su family's reputation, like that stone, has cracked.

Moreover, everyone suddenly understood Su Linglong's style of using people and then discarding them.

A minute passed.

No one raised their hands.

Some people even started looking down at the shoes, as if the shoes were embroidered with flowers.

"Looks like nobody wants him."

Qian Wanda sighed, stuffed the black card into his pocket, and turned to leave.

"Since the Su family doesn't care about my little bit of money, then forget it. I don't absolutely need to buy it anyway; I can use the money to pay for the yachts and models at the club. See you later, Mr. Qin!"

He turned and left so decisively, without the slightest hint of lingering.

To lure someone in at the first sign of trouble, one must feign indifference.

This tactic is commonplace in the business world, but it's extremely effective.

Especially when the other party is in dire straits.

step.

Two steps.

It looked like Qian Wanda was about to cross the line.

Manager Wang's phone vibrated again.

That's a death warrant.

Cold sweat trickled down his face and into his collar, making his shirt look like it had just been pulled out of the water.

If this deal falls through, we won't be able to raise 5 billion tonight...

That's the end of his life.

The Su family's rules were worse than death.

"etc!"

Manager Wang let out a desperate growl.

Qian Wanda paused, but didn't turn around; instead, he revealed a sly smile that seemed to confirm his suspicions.

With trembling hands, Manager Wang dialed that number again in front of everyone.

The hands-free mode wasn't on, but because of his fear, he didn't hold the receiver tightly enough, and people nearby could vaguely hear the voices coming from the other end.

There was no variation in temperature, and the cold felt like a Siberian wind.

"Cash only. Selling."

Just five words.

This shattered the last vestige of the Su family's pride as a prominent family in Yanjing.

Manager Wang closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, he looked like he had aged ten years.

"Five hundred million." Manager Wang's voice was hoarse as he slammed the agreement on the table. "Mr. Qian, deal."

"That's more like it!"

Qian Wanda immediately put on a smiling face, scurried back, swiped his card, signed, and pressed his fingerprint.

The series of movements were fluid and fast, as if they were afraid the other party would change their mind.

"Ding! Transfer successful."

As the electronic sound effect rang out, half of the Gu family's business empire in Sichuan, which had been operating for decades, changed hands for a pittance in just a few minutes, officially becoming the property of the Qian family.

Or rather, he took the surname Qin.

Qin Feng stood silently to the side until he saw Qian Wanda stuff the thick stack of property ownership certificates into his briefcase, at which point he stubbed out his cigarette.

"Let's go." Qin Feng took Su Qingxue's hand. "The air here isn't very good; it reeks of money."

Su Qingxue nodded obediently, but her eyes were still a little timid, as if she had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing billions of dollars flowing around so easily.

The two walked along the corridor toward the exit.

As Su Qingxue passed by the area of ​​abandoned raw stones, she kept her head down and looked at the road, afraid of stepping on the pebbles.

Just as we passed by an iron rack used to store cleaning tools and rubble.

"what!"

Su Qingxue gasped softly, her toe kicking a protruding rock, causing her to stumble and nearly fall.

Qin Feng reacted quickly, grabbing her slender waist and pulling her into his arms.

"Are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing, I just tripped." Su Qingxue was a little embarrassed and looked down at the culprit.

It was a stone the size of a basketball, covered with a layer of reddish-brown mud, pitted and uneven, carelessly tossed on the bottom shelf of the iron rack to weigh down a tattered rag.

It looked dirty and even a bit greasy.

Qin Feng didn't care at first; he just wanted to get her away from this unlucky place as soon as possible.

But when his gaze swept over the stone...

hum!

The familiar mechanical voice in my mind rang out again, and a burst of golden light appeared in my vision!

【Item: Da Ma Kan Chang Kou Shui Shi (Half-mountain, half-water stone)】

[Peel appearance: Reddish-brown, bacon-like skin, extremely oily, tight and intact, without cracks or flaws.]

[Internal Secrets: The core contains top-grade red jadeite (cockscomb red), with a delicate, oily texture, old and vibrant color, belonging to the legendary "Blood Beauty".]

Weight: 26.6 kg

[Actual valuation: 5500 million to 6000 million!]

[Current Status: Considered scrap material for footrests; Price: 10000 yuan.]

Qin Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Red cockscomb!

Among red jadeite, the most prized is the one with a vibrant color resembling a rooster's comb. This level of red jadeite is second only to imperial green in rarity!

Moreover, the water stones from the Da Ma Kan mine are known for their indistinguishable skin and flesh, and cutting them open often reveals a pleasant surprise.

This precious item was actually used by the Su family to weigh down rags?

Qin Feng's eyes flashed, and the playful smile on his lips deepened.

This isn't a place to gamble on stones; this is clearly a place to buy goods.

"What's wrong, Brother Feng?" Su Qingxue asked, puzzled when she saw Qin Feng staring at the dirty stone.

"It's nothing, I just think this rock looks quite unique. It dares to trip my wife, it has quite a temper."

Qin Feng released Su Qingxue and lightly kicked the rock twice, as if venting his anger or like a child throwing a tantrum.

At this time.

Manager Wang, who had just completed a transaction and was in a very depressed mood, happened to be passing by while seeing off a customer.

Seeing Qin Feng and Su Qingxue standing there without leaving, Manager Wang frowned, and a nameless anger suddenly rose within him.

"What? Mr. Qin hasn't made enough money yet? You even want to take a look at these sweeping stones?"

Manager Wang's tone was unfriendly, and his face was full of disdain.

In his eyes, Qin Feng was just lucky.

Qin Feng turned his head, a lazy smile on his face that made you want to punch him.

"Manager Wang, that's not right. This stone almost made my girlfriend trip and fall. For such a large establishment like the Su family's, how can they be so inadequate in addressing safety hazards? Shouldn't they provide an explanation?"

"An explanation?" Manager Wang laughed angrily. "What kind of explanation do you want? How about I make this stone kowtow to you?"

"That's not necessary."

Qin Feng bent down and patted the stone, not minding that it was dirty.

"I think this stone is quite heavy, and I happen to be looking for a stream stone in my yard. How about this, I'll take this stone as compensation for the Su family's emotional distress."

Qin Feng spoke with such conviction, as if he were truly trying to suppress the salted vegetable jar.

Manager Wang paused for a moment, then rolled his eyes.

That's it?

Before leaving, they even wanted to extort a broken stone to take back with them?

This level of thinking is utterly base!

He glanced down at the rock.

The red skin looks oily; it must have been a kilogram of material that was casually hauled back from a garbage dump in Myanmar a few years ago and has been sitting here unwanted ever since.

When you cut open this kind of stone, nine times out of ten it's white flesh or grayish-brown inside, and it's practically worthless.

"Fine, fine! Take it, take it!"

Manager Wang waved his hand impatiently, "Ten thousand yuan! Scan the code and take it! Don't get in my way!"

All he wanted right now was for these people to disappear as quickly as possible; even looking at Qin Feng made him feel like he was having a heart attack.

"Manager Wang is straightforward."

Without saying a word, Qin Feng took out his phone and scanned the QR code on the wall.

"drop!"

"Received payment via WeChat, 10,000 yuan."

A crisp electronic sound rang out in the empty corridor.

The transaction is complete.

Qin Feng bent down and picked up the piece of "waste" weighing more than 50 kilograms with one hand.

The "Blood Beauty," valued at 60 million, has officially been acquired.

Add to that the previous Imperial Green and the over one billion yuan commercial attack.

Tonight was a good night.

"Qingxue, come on, I'll cut some red stones for you to play with another day."

Qin Feng took Su Qingxue's hand with his other hand and strode towards the exit.

Although Su Qingxue didn't understand, seeing the confident smile on Qin Feng's face, she couldn't help but smile back.

Following him makes the world seem brighter.

Just as the two were about to step out of the large iron gate, with one foot already halfway into the cool night outside.

Behind us, in that messy pile of rubble.

Gu Shao Cong, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly convulsed violently.

The madness born of utter despair made him look like a demon that had just crawled out of hell.

At that very moment, he felt as if he had been struck on the head by some kind of beastly intuition.

That intuition told him—he couldn't let Qin Feng leave! That stone…that stone was suspicious!

"Wait!!"

A heart-wrenching roar, filled with the metallic taste of blood from a ripped throat, suddenly exploded out.

Gu Shao Cong sprang to his feet, ignoring the excruciating pain of his severed finger, and stumbled toward Qin Feng's retreating figure, his eyes bloodshot.

"Don't leave!! That rock... I want that rock!!!"
