Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  Pangzi reached an agreement, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. The jade was no longer his, and it didn't matter anymore. Influenced by Zhang Yang's removal of the jade, several people rushed into the warehouse again, perhaps the next one to remove the jade would be them.

  "Little brother, let's go to the front desk where there is a computer, I will transfer the money to you."

  "Alright," Zhang Yang smiled and said, "President Meng, shall we go together?"

  "Alright, I'll be a witness for you."

  Liáng Pàngzi gave a cold laugh and threw a glance at Zhāng Yáng with an ambiguous expression, Zhāng Yáng slightly nodded to indicate that he understood.

  At the front desk, Liang Pangzi asked for Zhang Yang's account number and transferred 16.5 million yuan over. Soon after, Zhang Yang received a text message notification.

  "Thanks, Liang Ge!" Zhang Yang said.

  Li Pangzi laughed and said, "I should be the one saying thank you! This piece of jade material is indeed what I need. After all, high-end jade, similar to glass-like material, is hard to come by and not something I can afford to play with. Younger brother, this piece of yours is just right for the masses, how could I not be tempted? However, younger brother, the price of this jade is already this high, if it's any higher there won't be any profit to be made. Older brother, I'm not taking advantage of you."

  Zhang Yang didn't believe it, a broken stone was sold for 300,000 yuan. Liang Pangzi was willing to spend 16.5 million to buy it, and he could sell it for more than 20 million. Without such a huge profit, he would not be wandering around here all day.

  Looking at the situation earlier, these jewelers who collect materials are mostly familiar with each other. Although they won't have a unified purchase price, there should be an unspoken rule about how much profit margin to leave, otherwise the prices wouldn't have stabilized later on.

  But that has nothing to do with him, after all, this piece of jade still needs to be processed and carved, as well as sold. Zhang Yang himself does not have the channel, so he can only watch others make money.

  The money has been received, and the jade has also been handed over to Liang Paozi. Don't be fooled by how well the two of them get along and how pleasant their interaction is; they quickly reached a deal. However, Zhang Yang would not have handed over the jade prematurely if he hadn't received the money first.

  Liang Pangzi also knew this, didn't rush him, and waited until the jade was in hand. Then he revealed a delighted expression, took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Yang: "Younger brother, now that I have the jade, I'll go back and find Master to process it. This is my card, keep it, if you need anything, give me a call."

  Zhang Yang took the business card and smiled: "Brother Liang, you go ahead with your work first, I'll look for you later to ask for advice."

  "Discuss, discuss, little brother, I'll take my leave first." said Liang Pao Tzu.

  As for Meng Fei beside him, Liang Pangzi didn't say anything either. What needed to be reminded had already been reminded. If Zhang Yang was still deceived, then it was his own business and had nothing to do with himself.

  After Liang Pangzi walked away, Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Director Meng, thank you today. If it weren't for your introduction, I wouldn't have made up my mind to gamble on the stone."

  Meng Fei laughed and said: "That's your good luck, little brother! Let's find a place to sit down at noon!"

  Meng Fei's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, and the two walked together towards the gate. Meng Fei asked tentatively: "Younger brother, is this your first time in Beijing?"

  Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it's my first time. My parents want me to develop in the capital city and see if I can make a career out of it."

  Meng Fei's eyes lit up even more, this was his first time in the capital and he still had money on him, what a fat sheep! To miss out on such a fat sheep would be unreasonable, no way, today he must find a way to get him wet.

  "Little brother, it's your first time in Beijing, you haven't had roast duck yet, have you? Today I'll treat you." Meng Fei said.

  Zhang Yang smiled and said: "How can that be good, today I have a good luck, this meal I will invite is more appropriate."

  Humility yielded a bit, Zhang Yang didn't turn against Meng Fei, from this it can be seen that Meng Fei's ambitions are not small, and Zhang Yang raised his vigilance.

  Meng Fei drove an Audi in the front, leading the way, while Zhang Yang followed behind, secretly thinking about the other's plan. Unfortunately, his eyes couldn't see into the other's mind, and he couldn't know what the other was thinking. Otherwise, any conspiracy or trick would be impossible to hide.

  After three rounds of wine, Meng Fei started to ask tentatively: "Younger brother, are there any promising projects for investment in the capital?"

  "This is what I've been looking for! Beijing is too big, all kinds of businesses have people doing them, I'm just picking flowers in my eyes, and until now I haven't made up my mind. Actually, going to gamble on stones today was also to take a look at the situation in the jewelry industry, they say that the price of jade is getting higher and higher, I'm thinking if it's worth investing in opening a jewelry store." Zhang Yang said.

  Meng Fei was shocked, it seems that Zhang Yang's funds are not small, the price of jade is high and still has a trend of continuous rise. Zhang Yang actually wants to invest, but the more money the better, if he is really poor, it's not worth his own efforts.

  "Little brother's idea is good, the jewelry industry is indeed worth investing in. Especially jadeite, as the mines are depleted, the price of jadeite will continue to rise. However, engaging in this business requires long-term investment, and it takes a long time to recoup the funds!" Meng Fei did not hastily negate Zhang Yang's idea, he knew that young people like him couldn't stand being discouraged and didn't like their opinions being negated, so he decided to guide him gently.

  "This is indeed a problem. If all the funds are occupied by Feicui, it will take several years to see the benefits." Zhang Yang nodded and said.

  "Yes, actually with this time and money, if invested in other projects, can also make money, no need to take so long." Meng Fei said.

  Zhang Yang made a listening gesture and asked: "So, does General Meng have any good recommendations?"

  "Don't keep calling me Director Meng one after another, call me Brother Meng, you're being too formal!" Meng Fei said with a pretended displeasure.

  "Right, right, Brother Meng, it's my fault, I'll punish myself with a cup." Zhang Yang said.

  "That's right, little brother, I won't hide it from you, big brother is in the antique business." Meng Fei said.

  The fox exposed its tail and said with a pretentious surprise: "Antiques? Like the ones they show on TV treasure hunting shows? So Brother Meng is an expert, I apologize for my ignorance. Actually, I also like antiques, but I don't understand them. Does Brother Meng mean that I can do it too?"

  Meng Fei said, "Of course, as long as you have money, you can do it. Of course, this line of work tests your eyesight and experience. Whether the item is good or not depends on a pair of eyes. Sometimes you spend tens of thousands of yuan to collect something, but when you take it to an auction house, it can sell for hundreds of thousands."

  Zhang Yang regained his spirit and sat up straight.

  Because of Meng Fei's key words, Zhang Yang was reminded that this industry relies solely on a pair of eyes. One's own eyes have the function of penetration, and what is said to be popular is having supernatural powers. If one can see jade in the raw stone, then can't they also see through antiques?

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yang asked excitedly: "Meng Ge, what does it mean that this industry relies solely on a pair of eyes?"

  "The authenticity of an item, the judgment of its age, all rely on eyes and experience. Of course, now there are also authoritative institutions that can do chemical analysis, but when buying and selling goods, you can't take the item to do an analysis every time. I'm not bragging, although I may not be as good as those experts, I'm not far off either. Players who come to me to buy things, if they don't say it's the best in the Four Ninth City, at least it's one of the top." Meng Fei said.

  Zhang Yang thought of Meng Fei's initial suggestion and asked, "Following Brother Meng's words, this line relies on vision and experience. I have neither, so how can I make money?"

  "Little brother, isn't this a good opportunity for you? I told you, as long as you have money, you can participate. If you want to make some small money, I'll take you to an auction, the items at the auction are all genuine, and with the right price, you can buy them. After getting them, Brother Meng will arrange a buyer for you, and with one transaction, you'll make a profit. Even if it's just tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, it's still easy money. And if we encounter some national treasure-level items, making millions is also possible."

  Zhang Yang was somewhat perplexed in his heart. Could it be that this Meng Fei really wanted to help himself? If it were true, as he said, then he would indeed have a stable profit!

  "Of course, if you think we're earning too little, we can partner up. I have a pair of eyes and some capital, but in recent years, the good stuff in the antique industry has become increasingly scarce. Whenever something comes out, the price is very expensive. To be honest with you, I've got a few good pieces tied up, but my funds are a bit tight. If you think I'm trustworthy, we can partner up, split the money 50/50, and also split the profits equally. I'll take care of contacting buyers and sellers, you just wait for the money." Meng Fei said.

  Zhang Yang suddenly realized that he had dug a hole and was waiting for himself. Zhang Yang believed that Meng Fei's first method must also have loopholes, but he couldn't think of them for the time being.

  No matter which one is chosen, it will fall into Meng Fei's trap.
