When the economy was relatively backward a few decades ago, jade jewelry was not valuable, while gold and silver were very popular. The Zhong family has been inherited for thousands of years and has a rich family fortune. It is also the one who needs jade the most to make utensils. At that time, they saved a lot of jade materials and made many jade articles. They also contracted several jade mines and had countless jade articles in the warehouse. It's worth a lot of money if you sell it.
Zhong Jiudao had been worried about the family's warehouse when all Luo Huai's jewelry boxes were scrapped for the first time. However, he was a principled person. He had agreed to give up inheriting the Zhong family and would no longer regard the Zhong family's belongings as belongings. No matter how poor you are, you won't want what you have in your pocket.
This time I also had the blessing of "Shou Zheng Lu". He arranged people for Zhong . You can also charge an agency fee of 5-10%.
Zhong Jiudao was rummaging through the warehouse, and first he spotted a box of pendants made of PiShui stone. It is a stone that has been buried at the bottom of the river for many years. Mountains under water are generally places full of spiritual energy, and they look like gemstones. The crystal-clear jade is full of aura, so the Zhong family bought ⬱ tons of stone, selected the best locations, and asked craftsmen to carve out many peach pendants. One hundred kilograms of stone can make five or six pendants of this kind. The Zhong family made more than 20 boxes that year. Some were given away, and some people spent a lot of money to buy some. Currently, there are still thirteen boxes left. Zhong Jiudao I don’t think it’s too much to take a box for myself.
The colors of the stones are different. Each box of peaches is arranged in order from light to dark. The first ones are small pink peaches, the middle ones are pretty red, and the last ones are garnet red. They are all moist. Full, it will emit slight fluorescence at night.
Zhong Jiudao flipped through the bill and saw that this box of peach pendants was bought in the 1950s. At that time, the cost of the stone materials, manual transportation and carving was only ten thousand. Nowadays, high-grade jade can be sold for tens of dollars. Ten thousand, one box costs millions. Counting the cost of consecration by the Zhong family, the price of one is astonishing.
Zhong Jiudao doesn't care how much the gadget sells for now, he will take it according to the cost at that time, which is 120,000 yuan per box. He has a quota of 10 million yuan, so he can continue to choose.
He also chose some jade necklaces, bracelets, and waist chains inlaid with silver. Silver jewelry has the effect of monitoring physical conditions. Paired with jade stones with sufficient spiritual energy, the concentration of yin energy in the surroundings can be monitored at any time. Silver jewelry absorbs yin energy, and jade can exorcise evil spirits. It is fully automatic. Exorcise evil spirits.
No matter how much it can be sold for today, Zhong Jiudao will always choose it according to the original price back then. The Zhong family also had a silver mine in the early years, and the silver was also worth the original price, so it is not valuable.
Zhong Jiudao chose a jade piece that looked like five million but was actually worth more than one hundred million according to his price standards. He thought that charging a 5% agency fee was considered conscientious, so he made a list and listed the things he took away with The prices were all written down, and he went to the lobby and handed them to Zhong who was looking at various bills.
Zhong Jiudao said: "I took five million and exchanged it for information worth 100 million. You wouldn't even be willing to part with five million, right?"
"It's only a few million. If you become the head of the family, the billions will be yours." Zhong snorted, obviously looking down on the little things Zhong Jiudao took away.
"Okay, then you sign the list to prove that you gave it voluntarily, so as not to ask me for it in the future." Zhong Jiudao said.
Zhong briefly glanced at the prices marked on the back of each item by Zhong Jiudao, and then fiddled with the gold-rimmed jade abacus to calculate the total price. Seeing that there was no problem with the single price and the total price, he signed with a big stroke of his pen. Got the word.
Zhong Hongyi, who was holding a calculator to help the family head check the expenses of "Shou Zheng Lu": "..."
If she read it correctly, the things on Zhong Jiudao's list...
However, she did not say anything to stop it and allowed Zhong to sign. She hoped that the head of the family would not cry when he took inventory of the warehouse in the future.
"As soon as you have found all the documents, let my cousin and I take a trip," Zhong Jiudao said. "Having someone from your own family supervise the investigation will always make you feel more at ease."
"Zhong Hongyan didn't come back after sending you out last time." Zhong Jiudao glared at Zhong Jiudao.
However, Zhong Hongyan's departure from home did not cause much commotion. After all, his legal skills were much worse than those of Zhong Jiudao, and they were considered poor among the younger generation. He only took two or three months to complete a mission. Come on, a few years ago I was disgusted that there was no network cable at home, so I spent a lot of money to hire someone to pull the network cable up the mountain. I was a prodigal, so I just left.
Zhong felt that if Zhong Hongyan's monthly share was to be stopped, he would not be able to survive, so he would naturally do it.
"He himself likes the mortal world and doesn't want to come here. It has little to do with me." Zhong Jiudao said to his father, "You can't seal young people in the mountains. They need to be in line with the times."
"You have thrown away all the things passed down by your ancestors!" Zhong puffed his beard and glared, extremely stubborn.
Zhong Jiudao knew that he could not be persuaded, so he said: "In this case, the Tianshi world should also take action to safeguard the rules passed down by the ancestors."
He told both the infant spirit and the curse, as well as his own analysis, and told Zhong: "I have sworn not to get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Master Realm. It is not convenient for me to get involved in this matter. I am a worldly person, and I will handle the affairs of Leng Xiangming and Zhiyin Yingye. Shouldn’t it be up to you to find the scum in the Tianshi world?”
Zhong became angry after hearing that someone had done evil, and vowed to find this scum and deal with it according to the laws of the Tianshi world.
Zhong Jiudao said: "I haven't determined who the other party is yet, but he must be a core figure in the Tianshi world. I've told you what happened today. You can use your usual intrigues with your family members and other families. Don’t show your shrewdness to the outside world, keep a low profile and investigate secretly.”
Zhong : "... What are you talking about? You, you are so angry with me!"
Seeing him covering his heart and coughing violently, Zhong Jiudao glanced at his mother. Zhong's mother's eyelids were drooping and she didn't even look at Zhong . Zhong Jiudao felt relieved and knew that he could continue to light the fire.
"Don't tell your family that the Zhong family has a great business and hundreds of millions of wealth. There are many people eyeing your position as the head of the family. If you don't guarantee it, someone will be interested. The last time you were in a coma, you found someone to seal the second house. You lost my movie and caused me to lose a lot of money at the box office. I thought you couldn't afford to lose and started cheating." Zhong Jiudao said.
"Who's cheating! How much money did you lose after sealing that crappy movie? Can't I afford it?" Zhong was so angry that he grabbed the crutches next to his wheelchair and wanted to beat him up. No. Dutiful son.
"At least 1.5 billion at the box office, I will get 500 million, which is exactly worth one "Shou Zheng Lu"." Zhong Jiudao said, "Are you sure you want to make up for it?"
Zhong: “…”
He picked up the towel that had fallen on the floor, put it on his head and said "Oh my god" it hurt, and never mentioned the matter of making up the money again.
Zhong Jiudao doesn't feel too proud to win after a verbal battle with his own father. He hopes Zhong Jiudao can handle the matter well.
Zhong has been pedantic all his life, and he can't list all his feudal faults in one day, but he is also the most rule-abiding person and the one who can tolerate the least amount of sand in his eyes.
Zhong Jiudao was relieved when he handed over the matter of the evil master to Zhong .
Zhong doesn't understand new things, but he was the winner of family struggles in his early years. He is very resourceful and can easily find one or two scum. Judging from the shrewdness of him and his son in pretending to be sick, they must not be deceived by others.
"Have you finished checking the account?" Zhong Jiudao asked Zhong Hongyi, "After checking, come with me."
Do you want to escape quickly before the owner of the house checks the warehouse? Zhong Hongyi glanced at the woven bag in Zhong Jiudao's hand, and he actually found a woven bag to hold the jade!
"Let's go, let's go quickly, don't let me see you and get upset." Zhong drove people away.
Zhong Jiudao left the main house with Zhong Hongyi, thinking that he had taken him away. As for whether the third cousin wanted to come, it was not Zhong's decision. His company had just been established and was short of people. There happens to be someone in charge of finance who knows the basics.
Before leaving, Li passed by the peach grove. Zhong Jiudao asked the ghost servant in the peach grove to pick a bag of fresh peaches, intending to give them to Luo Huai.
After making a large sum of money at the Zhong family, Zhong Jiudao didn't skimp on the taxi fare. He directly took a taxi to the mountain and ran away overnight.
Three hours after he left, Zhong was so angry that he almost fainted again when he saw the list sent from the warehouse. The second time, he almost fainted. Unfortunately, the unfilial son was not here and no one cooperated with his performance. .
Mother Zhong looked at her husband who was furious, and lit a calming talisman. Under the light of the talisman, she silently recited the Qingxin Mantra to relieve her husband's anger and prevent him from getting sick again.
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhong Jiudao and Zhong Hongyi, carrying peaches and woven bags, got on the high-speed train. At this time, he had not slept for two consecutive nights and dozed gently against the back of his chair.
Zhong Hongyi didn't have much contact with the Celestial Master in his family, so he knew that he had become the number one in the Celestial Master world at a young age, and had rebelled and left home. He did not rely on support from his family, nor did he rely on Celestial Master skills to make money after graduation. A hit movie was made.
Although many people privately said that Zhong Jiudao wasted his talent and chose an extremely difficult path, and he would never be able to survive in the future. He knelt down and begged his family to take him in. But they are juniors, and they always have a vague expectation in their hearts. They hope that Zhong Jiudao can make great achievements and become a shining star, giving them the courage to leave home.
It's not that they don't want to pursue their own lives, it's that they grew up under the strict teachings of the Zhong family and were unable to resist the family's authority. And... It’s not shameful to say it. The Zhong family has a strong foundation. The younger generation will have no worries in the Zhong family. They have endless money to spend. Even if they don’t do anything, they can live a prosperous life. Who can be willing to do this? What about life
But Zhong Jiudao was willing to give up.
Zhong Hongyi sighed quietly.
"Cousin, I remember you got married, why did you come home again?" Zhong Jiudao woke up from his light sleep when he heard her sigh.
Children of the Zhong family, girls 22 and boys 24, must get married, and the marriage partners are also people from other families in the Tianshi world. A strong alliance can give birth to a talented next generation. This has been the case since ancient times.
Zhong Jiudao's brother and sister are all married except for that weirdo Zhong Hongyan.
Zhong Hongyan may have been on the Internet for a long time, and he is firmly opposed to arranged marriages. He is also willing to take risks. He dared to splash excrement and water on himself, and even threatened that whoever dared to marry him would make their whole family smell like smoke everywhere. He wants to love freely, and he wants to find his own other half. It was precisely because he was so crazy that no one dared to marry him until he was 26 years old.
The free love that persisted for a long time finally fell into the hands of Lian Ziyu. No wonder Zhong Hongyan still misses Lian Ziyu and asks everywhere for ways to help Lian Ziyu regain her appearance.
"After six years of marriage without a child, it is easy to file for divorce." Zhong Hongyi said lightly.
She is 28 years old, got married at 22, and has had no children for six years. The Tianshi family has some feudal dregs, and her husband's family disliked her and took the initiative to file for divorce.
The cousin is a woman with low eyebrows and a pleasant look. Zhong Jiudao has a close friendship with Zhong Hongyi today. He saw that her eyes were a little blue due to not sleeping all night, so she used light makeup to cover them up. Although he is 28 years old, he looks like he is in his early twenties. He dresses younger and even if he goes out to say that he is a college student, some people will believe him.
Today, from checking the accounts to leaving home, Zhong Hongyi didn't say a word the whole time, but his steps were extremely brisk when leaving home, and he had no complaints about Zhong Jiudao traveling all night.
Zhong Jiudao looked at her appearance and found that her cousin had a resolute personality and had the temperament to do whatever she decided to do. If she didn't want to divorce, not to mention being childless for six years, her husband's family would not dare to divorce her even if she had no children for sixty years.
"Why don't you have any children?" Zhong Jiudao asked.
Zhong Hongyi smiled softly: "In our Tianshi world, it is not easy to make people infertile? They have endured six years to get divorced, so it is considered ."
Zhong Jiu said: "It is indeed easy for ordinary people, but for a heavenly master, it is not difficult to find out if something has been done."
Unless Zhong Hongyi's method is stronger than everyone thinks.
"They can't find it." Zhong Hongyi said.
"My cousin is very profound in Dharma. We must learn from each other when we have time," Zhong Jiudao said.
"I can't beat you. It's a pity that I was already married when you left home, otherwise I would have fought for the position of head of the family." Zhong Hongyi revealed his ambition in an understatement.
Zhong Jiudao was sure that this cousin was definitely an ordinary person.
"While filming "Shou Zheng Lu", because I knew a little bit about finance, I helped the householder calculate the accounts. At that time, I realized that the accounts were wrong, but I didn't remind him." Zhong Hongyi said.
"Why?"
Zhong Hongyi: "The head of the house has a stubborn character. If he points it out at the time, it can indeed reduce some losses, but I will also complain. It is better to find an opportunity afterwards for others to find out and remind the head of the house that the head of the house entrusts me to check the accounts. It can show that I When I discovered something was wrong, I left a lot of evidence and will hand it over to you. It shouldn’t be difficult to recover the money.”
"The 'other people' you reminded the head of the family, don't you mean me?" Zhong Jiudao asked.
"If you don't come today, you will 'accidentally' discover something in a few days." Zhong Hongyi said, "It was you who arranged it faster than I planned."
Zhong Jiu said: "Cousin, you are being honest."
"Being honest with me is just a certificate of recognition. Don't you want to keep me as a financial officer? I happen to have ambitions. It's not too late to be 28 years old." Zhong Hongyi looked at the window and felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his family. He couldn't help but Show a relaxed smile.
When she turned around, Zhong Jiudao took a look at Zhong Hongyi's hand bones and found that Zhong Hongyi was indeed very powerful, at least much stronger than Zhong Hongyan. It was no problem to kill a Fu Yue alone, but if he met Shen The situation in Leshan, where dozens of evil ghosts were united to cause trouble, was unbearable.
With such talent, given time and practice to the age of 10, her performance may not be worse than that of the current heads of families. It's a pity that the Tianshi family has never valued women. They were forced to marry and have children at the age of 22. Zhong Hongyi has always hidden his true nature. He also wanted to tell them about his strength after leaving the Zhong family in the future, so that they would regret it.
Let’s just say that the previous values can no longer adapt to the new era. Look at how the family forces the talented younger generations to !
Zhong Jiudao said pointedly: "It's a good idea to come out and take a look. The Zhong family is small, but the exterior is very big."
"Okay, I hope Director Zhong can give me a good job then." Zhong Hongyi extended a friendly and cooperative hand to Zhong Jiudao, with a completely business-like look, and did not ask for anything because they are relatives.
After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived in their city at ten o'clock in the morning. Luo Huai had already been waiting outside the high-speed rail station.
Obviously he was going for a physical examination with Director Zhong, but he said he would leave for a while, and ended up staying away for two days. Luo Huai didn't sleep well both nights, and even sneaked into Director Zhong's room to sleep for one night. Luo Huai discovered that the portraits of actors placed on the table by Director Zhong were all hand-drawn drawings of company employees. Luo Huai was very excited and looked for his own portrait there. After looking through it for a long time, he could not find it. He was so frustrated that he wanted to find someone to cry to. Unexpectedly, Brother Shen, the most considerate person, screamed and ran away when he saw him. Luo Huai stood there thinking for a long time, but he never thought about how he had offended Brother Shen.
No one in the villa dared to talk to him. Luo Huai missed Director Zhong more and more. When he heard that he was coming today, he put on a hat and mask and went to pick him up.
He waited and waited at the exit of the station. After a long time, he saw Director Zhong walking out with a woven bag in his left hand and a basket of peaches in his right hand.
Luo Huai rushed over, picked up the peach, and helped Director Zhong share the load.
Zhong Jiudao hadn't seen Luo Huai for a long time, and he missed him a little. Seeing his active appearance, he couldn't help but praise: "You have good physical fitness. The character in the new movie is an agile person. You have to keep in good condition."
"I will work hard, Director Zhong, are these peaches a gift you brought for your colleagues?" Luo Huai stared at the peaches and swallowed, these peaches look so fresh and delicious.
"Well, what I picked at home is not valuable. Let's share it with everyone." Zhong Jiudao said lightly.
The gift he gave to Luo Huai is in a woven bag. It's inconvenient to put it in. I'll give it to him when I go there.
"The position is..." Luo Huai looked at Zhong Hongyi.
"My name is Hong Yi, tentatively I am the company's finance manager." Zhong Hongyi concealed his surname, obviously trying to distance himself from the Zhong family.
"Hello, Sister Hong." Luo Huai greeted politely.
He put their luggage and peaches in the car and drove them to the company. On the way, he caught a glimpse of Director Zhong sitting in the passenger seat and couldn't help humming a song happily.
