Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Chapter 417 - 195: Special Mission [Win-Win Cooperation]!

The second small box opened.

Inside was the diamond ring Jiang Tao had just dug out from a nest last night.

"Hey, this is a Tiffany Paloma’s Melody series diamond ring!"

Zhang Bo’s family runs an antique auction house, and besides researching antiques, he has some knowledge of luxury goods.

At first glance at the diamond ring in the box, he accurately called out its name.

He pulled out a pair of white silk gloves from his pocket and put them on.

Zhang Bo took the diamond ring to his eye, and turned it over and looked at it for more than three minutes.

Then he used the heat conduction instrument and microscope specifically for diamond appraisal at his shop for detailed observation.

"There’s no issue with this ring either, it’s genuine!"

After some testing, Zhang Bo confirmed the ring’s authenticity, and his gaze towards Jiang Tao became eager.

With a luxury ring like Tiffany, the profit between buying and selling is quite considerable.

Jiang Tao didn’t bother with small talk with Zhang Bo and directly asked, "How much will you pay?"

Zhang Bo thought for a moment and said, "If it were someone else, I wouldn’t even care for 200,000, but for Brother Jiang, I’ll make it 230,000 for you."

"Alright! Let’s go with 230,000 then."

Jiang Tao didn’t feel like wandering around to other places.

Zhang Bo’s offer roughly matched his expectations, so he readily agreed.

Zhang Bo laughed and said, "Doing business with Brother Jiang is really delightful!"

Jiang Tao joked with a smile, "You’re quite the crafty merchant, thinking I’m honest and easy to fool, huh?"

Zhang Bo chuckled, "No way! I wouldn’t dare trick Brother Jiang! You’re my God of Wealth!"

Jiang Tao teased, "God of Wealth? I’m just your Wealth-Sending Boy."

"Hehe, it’s a win-win cooperation! We just make a bit of hard-earned money, can’t compare to Brother Jiang."

Zhang Bo laughed and opened the largest wooden box.

The moment the wooden box was opened, a rotten peanut butter smell filled the room.

Inside the box, the black meteorite was revealed to Zhang Bo.

"Hey, this is... a meteorite!"

Seeing the meteorite, Zhang Bo’s eyes lit up.

His family had done many business deals in exotic stones, including trading meteorites.

But a meteorite emitting a peculiar smell like Jiang Tao’s was indeed rare.

"I bought it from a herdsman while traveling recently. Does your family accept this?"

Jiang Tao naturally wouldn’t tell the truth and casually made up a lie to fool Zhang Bo.

Zhang Bo said, "We do accept them, but this field hits my blind spot. Please wait, Brother Jiang, I’ll make a video call to my dad and let him have a look."

"You need more practice, kid."

Jiang Tao teased him with a smile, feeling quite respectful towards Zhang Bo’s dad, who was likely either fishing or on his way to fish.

Even not present at the scene, Zhang Long could determine authenticity and dare to offer a high price for items just through a screen look.

In the antiques field, Zhang Long’s expertise was not far behind the recently famous Qingquan.

Beep beep beep—

Zhang Bo quickly dialed his dad’s phone.

The phone screen flashed, showing a scruffy, slightly unkempt man with a greasy face.

Judging from the background, Zhang Long was fishing at the moment.

"What’s up, son? Hurry up and speak, don’t waste time; I’m busy here."

Zhang Long’s carefree voice echoed.

Ever since handing the shop over to his son, Old Zhang had completely let go and taken fishing as his second career in life.

"Dad, Brother Jiang is here, and he brought an intriguing item today. We need your appraisal."

Zhang Bo didn’t bother roasting Old Deng and turned the phone camera towards the meteorite Jiang Tao brought.

"Wow! Xiao Jiang is really resourceful, can get his hands on anything!"

"This thing is a meteorite!"

Zhang Long took one look, found some clues, and asked:

"Does this thing have a smell like rotten peanut butter?"

"Yes, yes! How did you know, Dad? You’re amazing!"

Zhang Bo was awe-struck by his dad’s words, realizing the gap between himself and his dad.

"Xiao Jiang is a familiar face, let’s give a fair price, 6,000 yuan per gram."

"If he agrees, we’ll take it."

"If the price doesn’t fit, let’s wait for another collaboration opportunity."

"Oh my! I’ve got a fish here, I’m hanging up, hanging up!"

Zhang Long finished his sentence and hung up without waiting for Zhang Bo to respond.

Zhang Bo heard his dad’s offer loud and clear.

6,000 yuan per gram!!

The price of this black, carbon-ball-like stone was several times more expensive than gold!

Currently, the market transaction price for gold is about 800 yuan, even at its high.

A few years back, gold was only three to four hundred yuan per gram!

The price of this meteorite far exceeded Zhang Bo’s imagination!

He wasn’t sure if he misheard and considered calling his dad back.

As if knowing what he thought.

Zhang Bo’s phone chimed, receiving a WeChat message from his dad, Zhang Long.

The message clearly stated — Purchase price 6,000 yuan/gram!

"Brother Jiang, you heard my dad, 6,000 is the highest we can offer, so..."

Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao, seeking his opinion.

"Alright! 6,000 it is then! Since your dad spoke, I’ll definitely give face."

Upon hearing Zhang Long’s offer, Jiang Tao readily agreed, liking him even more.

Old Zhang is indeed a good guy!
