Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Chapter 418 - 195: Special Mission [Win-Win Cooperation]!

According to the information provided by Brother Tongzi back then.

The value of this meteorite is around 880,000.

The weight of this meteorite is approximately 140 grams, and according to Zhang Long’s offer, the total value is about 840,000.

The price difference from the one given by Brother Tongzi is just over 40,000, not very significant.

Besides, Jiang Tao felt that if he didn’t sell it, it would be tough to get a higher price elsewhere.

He couldn’t be bothered with the hassle, so he decided to sell it all at once.

"Alright! I’ll go weigh it for you, Brother Jiang!"

Zhang Bo said, then took the box containing the meteorite and walked to a workstation nearby.

There was a very precise electronic scale at the workstation.

This electronic scale can measure to an accuracy of a few decimals of a gram.

When dealing with precious metals or diamond rings, such electronic scales are needed.

Zhang Bo placed the meteorite on the small scale with a gloved hand, showing 140.01.

"Brother Jiang, the weight is 140.01 grams. Calculated at 6,000 per gram, it’s exactly 840,060 yuan."

After weighing, Zhang Bo turned to Jiang Tao and quoted him a price.

Jiang Tao laughed, "Let’s round it to 840,000. Take the 60 yuan for a milk tea on me."

"Hehe, Brother Jiang, you’re generous! I won’t be polite then!"

Zhang Bo didn’t mind; 60 yuan was insignificant to both him and Jiang Tao, no need to fuss over small change.

"The gold bar is 300,000, the diamond ring 230,000, and the meteorite is exactly 840,000. In total, it’s..."

Zhang Bo picked up a calculator on the table and quickly calculated a total sum for Jiang Tao.

"The total price of the three items is 1.37 million! Send it to your previous account, Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Tao nodded, "Yes, transfer it to the previous account."

"Alright! Please wait a moment, Brother Jiang; I’ll transfer it now!"

Zhang Bo has always been quick with payments.

With a simple sentence, he took out his phone to start transferring the money to Jiang Tao.

In less than five minutes, Jiang Tao received the 1.37 million transfer from Boya Auction House.

Ring-ring—

Just as Zhang Bo finished the transfer, his phone suddenly rang; it was a video call from his dad.

"Hey, Dad, what’s up?"

Zhang Bo answered the call and saw two faces on the screen.

One was his dad, and the other was an unfamiliar older man of the same age.

Seeing this, Zhang Bo was somewhat surprised.

Zhang Long chuckled and asked, "Son, is Xiao Jiang still there?"

Zhang Bo replied honestly, "No, Jiang is still here; we just finished a transaction."

Zhang Long said, "Then hand the phone to him, let him see who’s beside me."

"Oh, Brother Jiang, here’s the phone for you."

Zhang Bo, slightly puzzled, handed the phone to Jiang Tao.

"Uncle Zhang, hey, Dad, how did you two end up together!"

Jiang Tao took Zhang Bo’s phone and laughed when he saw the two figures on the screen.

What a coincidence, the person with Zhang Long was none other than Jiang Tao’s father-in-law, Xu Wencheng.

"Haha, Xiao Tao, I got to know Brother Zhang Long while fishing these past days. Who knew you two also knew each other? What a small world."

"It’s quite a coincidence; it’s fate that links us all together by name."

"Haha, indeed! So, you’re Old Xu’s son-in-law! Your father-in-law is pretty good at fishing, and he’s a decent person too!"

"Haha, true enough. Birds of a feather flock together; Uncle Zhang hanging out with my dad shows we’re on the same wavelength."

"Exactly, I like what you just said! Meeting is fate; let’s get together one day, our families should sit down and have a meal."

"Sure! We must."

"Feel free to connect more with my son, Zhang Bo, even if there’s no business; you can always meet up for a meal or a drink."

"Uncle Zhang is right, Zhang Bo and I already have a good relationship."

"You’re just like your father-in-law, easy to get along with. I don’t have many friends, but they are good ones. I consider both of you my friends, so don’t see me or my son as outsiders."

"Alright! Uncle Zhang is right; I’ve never treated you as outsiders. I always brought things over for you to sell."

"That’s the way~"

"..."

Jiang Tao and Zhang Long chatted for another five or six minutes before ending the call.

"Brother Jiang, let’s have lunch together, I’ll call Li Ming; it’s been ages since we sat together."

Zhang Bo smiled warmly at Jiang Tao, looking sincere.

"This time it’s on me! Neither you nor Li Ming should fight me for it; call him up."

Jiang Tao had meals with Li Ming and Zhang Bo before and remembered it was them treating the last couple of times.

Treating friends is about giving and receiving; one shouldn’t always be treated without reciprocating.

Friendships grow through mutual exchanges.

If one always tries to take advantage and doesn’t contribute, the relationship won’t last long.

[Ding! Your friendship with Zhang Bo increased by 1 point, currently at 67 points (Friend)!

As Jiang Tao finished speaking, a reminder flashed across his retina.

Seeing this notification, Jiang Tao’s eyes lit up.

Whenever such a friendship notice appears, it means Brother Tongzi also recognizes them as a friend worth getting close to.

Once the friendship points reach 90, Jiang Tao will receive a 1 million cash reward.

And he’ll receive a ’Friendship Boat’ that can be exchanged for a luxury yacht in real life.

"Okay! I’ll call Li Ming!"

Zhang Bo didn’t argue with Jiang Tao and immediately took out his phone to call Li Ming.

Li Ming, upon hearing it was Jiang Tao treating, agreed without hesitation.

Previously, one call from Jiang Tao saved Li Ming millions in losses.

Since then, Li Ming regarded Jiang Tao as a big brother.

No more than twenty minutes after Zhang Bo ended the call, Li Ming arrived.

"What have you been busy with lately, Brother Jiang? It’s been a while since you reached out to me and Zhang Bo."

Upon entering, Li Ming greeted Jiang Tao warmly.

Jiang Tao smiled, "My father-in-law’s family came to Beijing for a tour, so I’ve been busy hosting them. How’s business at the car yard?"

Li Ming laughed, "Considerable, earning some labor money, but can’t compare to wealthy offspring like Young Master Zhang."

"Nonsense, stop pretending to be poor; in front of Young Master Li, I wouldn’t dare call myself rich, maybe having a negative balance!"

Zhang Bo jokingly scolded, but he was telling the truth.

Li Ming, though low-key, often driving second-hand cars, is a true affluent offspring.

Not to mention the car stocks at Li Ming’s place are worth 50-60 million alone.

His father, undertaking construction, earns 20-30 million a year.

Over the years, their family assets should easily be around a small goal.

"Oh! To be honest, my dad’s recently handling a major project."

"Our family’s money is all in, and we even borrowed over 20 million from the bank."

"I’m currently managing the car yard using credit card juggling, it’s tough!"

Li Ming smiled wryly, showing helplessness.

Zhang Bo was shocked, "Wow, Uncle Li must be engaged in a billion-scale project this time! That’s massive!"

"We’re just a car drop-off, know nothing about such big investments."

Li Ming glanced at Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo, jokingly asking:

"Zhang Bo, Brother Jiang, why don’t you invest in the car yard with a share, become shareholders?"

"Our industry is increasingly competitive, but traffic is always gravitating toward big players."

"The bigger the scale, the stronger the power, the more profits."

"Our car yard is on the verge of first-tier in Beijing, with a decent reputation."

"Earning 150 million a year is no problem."
