Old Depp was shocked and immediately called his personal doctor for a mental state test. More than an hour later, he came out of the test room with a look of surprise on his face and said to Zhang Jun: "Zhang, I have recovered! The doctor said that I am fully recovered."
Even he couldn't believe that I had recovered, so he tested me three times, but the results proved that I was a normal person!"
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Congratulations to you, Hand of God."
Old Depp was excited and happy. He pulled Zhang Jun and thanked him repeatedly.
At noon, Lao Depp invited Lin Hui and Zhang Jun to have dinner together, and Lin Xian accompanied Zhang Jun. Lao Depp glanced at Lin Xian, winked at Zhang Jun, and said: "Zhang, your confidante is a beautiful woman, noble
grace."
Zhang Jun smiled "haha": "Old Depp, why don't you bring your female companion with you? Are you too old to get close to women?"
Old Depp immediately laughed and said: "Although I am older, I am still very brave. If we have the opportunity, we will go to Thailand to compete."
When Lin Xian heard the two talking about such things, she couldn't help but pinch Zhang Jun secretly, and then gave him a warning look. The latter smiled bitterly and drank continuously.
After drinking half of the wine, General Kunsang came in with two guards, personally delivered two bottles of the best red wine, and paid for all the expenses in the hotel. The Burmese general was polite for a long time, then respectfully stepped down and looked at
Lin Hui's eyes widened.
After Kun Sang left, Lin Hui couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Depp, General Kun Sang has an extraordinary status in Myanmar's military circles. How can he be so respectful to you?"
Through the conversation, Old Depp knew that Lin Hui was Zhang Jun's father-in-law, so he was quite polite in his words and said with a smile: "It's like this. Kunsang put his one billion euro deposit in my account and asked me to take care of it for him."
manage."
Lin Hui didn't know why, so Zhang Jun explained on his behalf: "Uncle Lin, Old Depp is a financial expert. With this money in his hands, the annual profit will be at least 10%."
Lin Hui was shocked, but after much deliberation, he could not recall an international financial master named Depp.
After dinner, Zhang Jun talked about the main reason for this trip to Myanmar and said: "Old Depp, I have two things to ask you for help. The first one is that the political situation in Myanmar is unstable. I want to get it on the public market."
It may not be easy to get high-quality jadeite. I hope you can say hello to Kunsang again. Secondly, I may conduct a large-scale short sale on Lin's Jewelry listed in Hong Kong, and I need your help."
Old Depp thought for a while and said: "Zhang, you are my friend, of course I will help you with this." At this point, he added, "I have reserved 20 billion US dollars for you in my account here. You
If you come to Myanmar for a public sale, you will probably need it.”
Zhang Jun thought for a while and asked Lin Xian: "Sister Xian, how much money can we put out for this public offering?"
"The establishment of Tianxing Investment Company consumed a lot of funds, and all we can afford is 500 million. However, my father has promised me that he can lend us 1.5 billion, which is his personal asset." Lin Xian said.
Zhang Jun said: "We are not so poor that we need to borrow money." Then he said to Old Depp, "Old Depp, please convert 2 billion of the 20 billion U.S. dollars into euros and put it into my account."
Old Depp said: "No problem." He immediately ordered his subordinates to handle the matter.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Jun received a transfer text message on his mobile phone. He had more than 1.5 billion euros in his account in a Swiss bank.
Lin Hui and Lin Xian were both very shocked. One and a half billion euros! Just got it like this? When did Zhang Jun make so much money?
Seeing that the transfer was successful, Old Depp was very interested in talking about jadeite with Zhang Jun. He was obviously a layman about jadeite, and Westerners did not like jadeite very much. He asked: "Zhang, I heard that the price of jadeite has been rising. I also heard that the price of jadeite has been rising."
I want to make some investment in it, I hope you can help me."
Zhang Jun said: "Old Depp, you are a financial tycoon, so don't get involved in physical investment. You must know that every line is like a mountain, and be careful about getting into trouble. However, if you like jade, I will give you the best piece when the time comes."
Old Depp's eyes lit up: "Zhang, it's a promise, you will give me the best."
In the afternoon, Zhang Jun and Lin Xian walked out of the hotel and wanted to see the nearby scenery. It was his first time to come to Myanmar and he was not very familiar with the situation in Myanmar.
When I came to the hotel lobby, I bumped into a group of people, most of whom were acquaintances. Xu Bo, Xu Gaoyi, Lin Chi, and Lin Feng were all there, and they brought many people with them. The moment they passed each other, Xu Bo paused slightly.
He smiled sinisterly and said, "You are indeed here."
"Of course I want to come." Zhang Jun said calmly, "Xu Bo, I wonder if you will ask the fifth general to take action in person next. I'm looking forward to it."
Xu Bo's expression changed. He had already known about the failed assassination of the Blood Dragon and the Evil Tiger. The fifth general was very angry about this and blamed him for providing inaccurate information. This made the Xu family very passive.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be complacent! The fun will come later!"
Zhang Jun: "Really? I'll wait and see. Don't let me down."
Xu Bo walked away, Lin Xian frowned and said: "Brother, is the last gas explosion related to Xu Bo?"
Zhang Jun said calmly: "Sister Xian, this kind of clown will never be able to rise to the level of elegance. Don't worry, he is already a grasshopper after autumn, and he won't be able to jump around for a few days."
In the suite of the Xu family, Xu Bo kicked the sofa and said bitterly: "Damn Zhang Jun! I will kill him no matter what this time!"
Xu Gaoyi finally calmed down and said: "Xu Bo, don't be carried away by anger. This is Myanmar, our home field, and it is not difficult to kill someone. I will call your uncle right now and ask him to get rid of this kid."
"
Xu Bo came to his senses, waved his hand and said: "No! Father, this Zhang Jun is very good at buying jade. I remember that at the last jade festival, he randomly selected two pieces, both of which were top-quality jade."
"What do you mean?" Xu Gaoyi asked doubtfully.
"Whether it's an explicit bid or a hidden bid, we all have a way to know the bottom of his bid! Let's take a look at the situation first. If he is really lucky, then we will buy whatever he buys!"
Zhang Jun and Lin Xian were walking on the boulevards of Yangon, and they could clearly feel the heat of the weather. His mood was not affected by Xu Bo at all, with a faint smile on his face.
Lin Xian had a sad face and said: "Brother, you have never been to a public auction before, so you can't feel the atmosphere this year."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jun asked.
"In recent years, the global economy has been in recession, and the jadeite industry has also been in decline. One of the important reasons why my father has not been able to achieve good results since he took charge of the family is the downturn in the jadeite market."
"I remember that there used to be three or five public auctions every year in Yangon. At that time, there were huge crowds of people and the transactions were booming. But now, there are not many people on the street. I think this year's public auction must be very deserted."
Zhang Jun nodded: "I know all these situations. It was also in those years that Myanmar's jade merchants hoarded a large amount of raw materials, which in turn aggravated the downturn of the entire industry. But Sister Xian, good things will never go out of style.
, it can buck the market trend. Our main goal this time is to get really good jadeite. I have already said that Tianxing Jewelry will take the high-end boutique route."
Lin Xian said: "It is true that the price of high-end jadeite is still very stable. After all, they are rare in quantity and have excellent value preservation."
"For Uncle Lin, I will help him look at the materials and suggest him to buy more mid-to-high-end raw materials." He said, "In addition, since the jade market is so sluggish, I think Myanmar will definitely use some means to attract everyone's attention.
"
Lin Xian: "And I think the Xu family will definitely take action against us. They have close ties with the Myanmar military. You have to be careful."
Zhang Jun looked disdainful and said: "The Burmese general who the Xu family took refuge in is Kun Sang. Do you think Kun Sang likes Qian Jin or the Xu family?"
Lin Xian was thoughtful and said, "Brother, are you ready to put on a good show?"
"It's a big show." Zhang Jun said with a half-smile expression on his face, "I didn't expect Depp Lao to have such a close relationship with the Myanmar military. This actually helped me a lot."
Lin Xian knew that whenever Zhang Jun showed this expression, it was often the time for him to take action.
The next day, Myanmar started. Even though the jade market was in a downturn, the place was still overcrowded, with tens of thousands of people gathering here.
It was a scorching day, but the jade buyers couldn't care less. They were sweating profusely while selecting at various stalls.
Zhang Jun did not let Lin Xian follow because the weather was so hot that Lin Xian could not hold on for long. He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly in front of one stall after another. Not far from him, a young man followed cautiously behind him.
dance to tune.
Walking into a venue, Zhang Jun found that all the jadeite raw materials here were subject to open bidding. In other words, the jade dealer showed the jadeite and then gave the lowest price, allowing all buyers to participate in the bidding, and the one with the highest price got it.
The bidding process is displayed directly on the large LCD screen.
In this field, he finally selected only three jadeite rough stones and wrote down the identification numbers. These three pieces were all jadeite materials used to clean a window. After being unpacked, their value could increase more than ten times.
Throughout the day, Zhang Jun walked around between various venues. However, he did not make many moves. He only took down sixteen stones in total, but they were all big ones, and he invested a total of 60 million euros.
Regardless of whether the stones were marked openly or covertly, Zhang Jun easily won them. The reason was simple. The prices he gave were more than twice the low price, leaving other competitors speechless.
After the bidding ended, Lin Hui, Depp and others came over to watch the excitement. Seeing Zhang Jun's generous spending, some jade merchants also paid attention.
Depp said: "Zhang, aren't you afraid of losing money if you buy so many stones at once?"
Zhang Jun smiled "hehe" and said: "My luck has always been good."
Depp shook his head and said: "I never believe in luck, only in strength. Zhang, can you prove it to me?"
Zhang Jun immediately called the stonemason and ordered them to untie the two giant jade pieces. The craftsman moved skillfully and cut the stone in three strokes, five and two. When the cross section was revealed, everyone let out a series of exclamations.
"Oh my God! What a green glass species! Such a big piece, this person is so prosperous!"
"If this piece of jade is put up for auction, it could sell for at least 100 million!"
"How can you be so lucky! You hit the mark on the first try!"
Xu Bo was also one of the bystanders, with an ugly expression on his face. The young man who was following Zhang Jun stood behind him and whispered: "Master, when he bought this piece of jade, he looked at it for a long time. It doesn't look like this.
Depends on luck."
Xu Bo gritted his teeth and said, "Is he an expert on jade? How can he see it so accurately? Even some of the masters hired by the Xu family don't have such eyesight!"
The young man suggested: "Master, let's take another look. If he can still cut out a piece of top quality, it will prove that he is really an expert!"
