Chapter 415 - 194: New Intel: Investment Project, Cheating, and Diamond Ring!
[Today’s Intel 01]:
You had contact with Xu Wencheng yesterday and gathered relevant intel—
Xu Wencheng’s company intends to seek external financing and has a funding gap of 6 million.
This investment has an annual return rate of 20%, making it a quality investment worth holding long-term.
[Note 1]: This project is a real industrial investment, capable of generating value for society.
The profits from this investment project can be doubled using Monopoly Dice.
...
"Profits can be doubled using Monopoly Dice!"
Initially, Jiang Tao had little interest in the 20% annual return rate of this investment.
But upon seeing in the last note that the project’s profits can be doubled using Monopoly Dice!
With that, Jiang Tao became very interested!
Even if he rolled the smallest ’1’, the minimum guaranteed return would still be 40%!
If he rolled a 6, wouldn’t he break even in a year and make pure profit thereafter??
"This project must be invested in!"
After reading the first intel message, Jiang Tao decisively decided to invest in this project!
Coincidentally, he just happened to have some spare cash right now.
Moreover, his father-in-law’s company has been established for over thirty years now.
The company’s sales have been steadily increasing every year, making it a quality enterprise.
Investing in such a company, Jiang Tao had no worries and felt very assured.
After analyzing the first intel, Jiang Tao felt a thought stir in his mind and continued to browse the next one.
[Today’s Intel 02]:
You had contact with Shan Yang yesterday and gathered relevant intel—
Shan Yang’s wife, Hong Mei, is having an affair with a personal trainer at the gym who is 9 years younger than her.
A timely reminder can help Shan Yang cut his losses in time.
...
"Mountain Goat’s wife..."
Seeing the content of the second piece of intel, Jiang Tao felt sorry for Shan Yang while also being speechless.
Jiang Tao had never met Shan Yang’s wife, Hong Mei, in person but had seen her photos in Shan Yang’s social circle.
She was only about one and a half meters tall, with a short and stout figure, a round face, and prominent eyebrows.
Moreover, from what Jiang Tao had gathered, Hong Mei, like himself, came from a rural background.
After marrying Shan Yang, she stayed home without a job and had no source of income.
In other words, the money she spent on gym memberships and personal training sessions all came from Shan Yang!
With her circumstances, being able to find a husband like Shan Yang, who owns a house in Beijing without a mortgage, was quite a step up for her.
And yet, she was still not content.
"I’ll find an opportunity to remind Mountain Goat tomorrow, so he won’t be foolishly kept in the dark."
"His wife is spending his money to court a personal trainer, that’s a bit over the top."
Sympathizing with Shan Yang for a few seconds in his heart, Jiang Tao felt another thought stir and continued to browse today’s final intel.
[Today’s Intel 03]:
You had contact with Xu Sha yesterday and gathered relevant intel—
Last night, during a live broadcast at Oasis Water Village Park, Xu Sha passed by a small grove.
In a bird’s nest on one of the trees, there’s a Tiffany Paloma’s Melody series diamond ring worth 380,000 yuan.
[Note]: There are 5 hours and 14 minutes left before the ring is taken away by a bird.
...
"A Tiffany diamond ring worth 380,000!"
Seeing the mention of the ring in the final intel, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up again!
Jiang Tao had naturally heard of Tiffany, this top luxury brand in the world.
Although he didn’t know what the Paloma’s Melody series meant.
But that wasn’t important!
As long as he knew the ring was worth over 380,000, that was all that mattered!
Due to its high brand value, Tiffany also maintains a decent value retention rate.
The resale price in the secondary market is roughly around 70%.
A ring valued at 380,000 could be resold for about 266,000!
Even without paperwork and purchase receipts, losing another 10 percent in value.
This ring could still sell for around 220,000!
"This sister-in-law is worth befriending, selling this ring could pay her salary for two years."
"Alright, I’ll make another trip to the park and get that ring first."
Seeing the remaining time noted in the third piece of intel was running low.
And during the day, there are too many people around, making it difficult to act.
Jiang Tao had no choice but to get out of bed again and start putting on his clothes.
After dressing, he quietly slipped out the door.
In the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz G downstairs, he changed into a set of workwear.
Jiang Tao got into the car, started it, and drove towards the district.
The Oasis Water Village Park is less than a kilometer from Bai Gezhuang District.
Jiang Tao drove to the park entrance in less than 3 minutes.
After parking the car at the entrance, he got out and walked towards the park.
Following the map on his retina, Jiang Tao quickly arrived in a dense forest, standing directly below the red dot.
Looking up, Jiang Tao shone the flashlight in his hand upwards.
Sure enough, he saw a bird’s nest on the branch above.
Flap, flap, flap~
Several birds perched on the treetop, startled by the noise below, flapped their wings and flew away.
Meanwhile, a line of prompt information flashed across Jiang Tao’s retina.
[Would you like to pay 7,777 yuan to obtain the target item?]
"No."
This time, Jiang Tao decisively chose to refuse.
The tree he was next to had a diameter of about 20 centimeters, making it suitable for climbing.
The bird’s nest was only seven or eight meters from the ground, not too high.
Climbing up to grab it himself could save him 7,000 to nearly 8,000 yuan.
Almost saving a month’s salary from before.
Even though Jiang Tao was now a genuine multimillionaire.
He still lived frugally in everyday life.
If he could save 8,000 yuan, he would!
That was enough for a family’s food expenses for a month.
He also wanted to test what level his constitution of 88 points had reached.
Turning off the flashlight and putting it back in his pocket, Jiang Tao rubbed his hands and climbed up the tree trunk.
