After a phone call with the boss, everyone was a little depressed. Suddenly the conversation changed and such big news broke, which cheered up Jiang Yue's mood.
Isn't this kind of clues what he lacks most now?
Mr. Kangaroo had been holding it in for so long, and finally he didn't forget such an important clue.
Seeing Jiang Yue's sad eyes, Mr. Kangaroo said angrily: "Don't look at me like that. Just now I just saw that those characters and patterns looked familiar, and I couldn't remember where I had seen them before. I was a little angry with you just now.
, suddenly I remembered it again.”
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "Come to think of it, this is very important information. I wonder if this expert that the elder knows can be contacted?"
"He was already difficult to contact, and even more so after I joined that organization over the years. When I saw these things, it was still many years ago. I calculated that the characters he showed me should have
More than ten years ago. I remember his family lived in..."
The old kangaroo gave an address, but emphasized: "That's where he lived at that time. After all these years, I can't guarantee where he lived. Besides, in this world, it's hard to say whether he, an old expert, will survive."
.”
Survival or not, this is a useful clue.
Jiang Yue asked clearly about the name, work unit and home address of the archaeological expert.
Even if he no longer lives in the original place and has changed his home address, it should not be difficult to trace a person through the power of the authorities.
The kangaroo boss didn't talk nonsense to Jiang Yue. After telling Jiang Yue all the information that needed to be said, he entered the laboratory without looking back.
Before leaving, he said: "If you find any clues or have any news about my old friend, remember to inform me."
The old kangaroo has a perverse temperament, but it can be seen that she is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
She still cares about her old friends.
After Mr. Kangaroo entered the laboratory, the rest of the people felt much more relaxed.
With Mr. Kangaroo's strong aura, no one dared to talk loudly for fear of causing Mr. Kangaroo's displeasure. This Mr. Kangaroo was merciless when he insulted people.
Tong Feifei now accepted a new task and had no time to spare. Jiang Yue took him alone to study the ancient books on turtle shells and animal skins.
Tong Feifei is obviously very enthusiastic about this and has invested a lot of interest in it.
"Brother Yue, let's split up. You go find the expert mentioned by Mr. Kangaroo, and I will continue to study these two things."
Boss Kangaroo's clue is undoubtedly valuable.
It was rare to find such a clue, and Jiang Yue would undoubtedly seize it tightly.
Of course, Jiang Yue has one more thing to do at the moment.
I made an appointment with the ruler to meet again at the Daozi Lane Villa to see if I could get any useful information from the person in charge of the black market.
When it was almost evening, Han Jingjing came to call Jiang Yue.
When they arrived at Villa No. 8, Jiang Yue saw the person in charge of the black market.
The man was obviously no stranger to Jiang Yue, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect that we would meet again at the Daozi Lane villa. At that time, I just thought that Mr. Jiang was mysterious and had endless potential. Today, Mr. Jiang's achievements have already been
It’s so high that it’s amazing.”
This is polite talk, but it is the more sincere kind of polite talk. It can be seen that this person quite appreciates Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "I'm surprised too, but the boss's demeanor is better than before, which is gratifying."
Both of them have dealt with each other several times.
Especially at the last auction, Jiang Yue secretly made a number of transactions with this black market boss.
The ginseng king that Jiang Yue obtained from the black market boss is still in his storage bracelet.
At that time, the boss of the black market showed him the three scars on his body, saying that he had been stabbed three times because of the ginseng strip, and he felt that the three stabbings were worth it.
Jiang Yue was extremely impressed by this black market boss.
Seeing that he was able to enter and leave Villa No. 8, Jiang Yue's understanding of this person was somewhat refreshed.
Looking at this relationship, he probably has a good relationship with the leader.
If it weren't for a very good friendship, the ruler would not invite him to his home anyway.
In addition to the black market boss, there is also Mr. Bai Mo. This old man is the head of the think tank and the bodyguard of the administration.
Jiang Yue had a good relationship with Bai Mo, and they greeted each other with a smile.
The dinner was not particularly luxurious, but wine was indispensable.
Jiang Yue did not shirk and drank a few drinks with a group of elders.
At the dinner table, everyone had a tacit understanding. They only talked about old times and did not put serious matters on the table.
After the meal, several people entered the study room, tea was prepared, and then the administration got down to business.
"Xiao Jiang, Mr. Cheng and I have already mentioned that he does have a lot of inventory in terms of rough stones."
The governor's tone was very precise. He told Jiang Yue that he only asked about the original stone. As for the other connotations of the original stone and why Jiang Yue wanted the original stone, he did not tell the black market boss clearly.
After all, this matter is of great importance. Naturally, the fewer people who know this secret, the better.
Even if the leader has a close personal relationship with the black market boss and it involves confidential information, he will naturally give priority to keeping it confidential.
The boss of the black market smiled and said: "This is not the first time Mr. Jiang and I have done business. To be honest, the situation in Star City is too pessimistic, and the black market has to stop trading in Star City. Otherwise, I really don't want to be like this with Mr. Jiang.
Customers have lost contact. If Mr. Jiang is interested, our black market window will always be open."
The person in charge of the black market, Mr. Cheng, is naturally talking about business.
He has always been very satisfied with the trading items provided by Jiang Yue. To put it bluntly, the black market boss has always been very greedy for the magic talismans made by Jiang Yue.
This is why he was happy to come when the ruler contacted him.
If it weren't for Jiang Yue's reputation, the black market boss might not be willing to come. It's not that he doesn't want to give the leader face, but he could find many reasons to shirk it.
Jiang Yue didn't get excited because of Mr. Cheng's words.
A businessman is a businessman. No matter how enthusiastic and kind he may be on his words, when he comes to the negotiation table, he will not give in an inch of ground and will always have to compare every penny with the penny.
"Mr. Cheng, I do need a batch of rough stones. However, my needs are quite special and I must choose them by myself. Therefore, I hope that your rough stone storage warehouse can be opened for me to choose by myself. Of course, I know that this requirement is somewhat
It's too much, so I can make some concessions on the trading items to achieve a balance."
The black market boss smiled slightly and did not answer in a hurry.
Cross your hands and twist your thumbs back and forth, looking playful.
"Mr. Jiang's request is indeed a bit difficult for me. We do store some rough stones in the black market, but they are basically scattered in various cities. Maybe there is not as big a storage warehouse as Mr. Jiang imagined."
Jiang Yue nodded: "This matter is indeed a bit presumptuous. Mr. Cheng can think about it. Whether the transaction is successful or not, don't affect the friendship."
It can be said that Jiang Yue is indeed eager for rough stones, but this method itself is just trying his luck, like finding a needle in a haystack.
If Mr. Cheng insists on making a decision and asking for a high price, Jiang Yue will definitely have no interest in participating.
The person in charge is a human being, so how could he fail to hear the overtones of these two people?
He smiled and smoothed things over: "Lao Cheng, you know Xiao Jiang. I won't introduce him to his energy. If it's convenient for you, just make arrangements. Don't worry that Xiao Jiang will take advantage of you. I'll
It can be guaranteed. To put it more seriously, even if he doesn't pick many suitable rough stones in the end, will he still treat you badly?"
When Mr. Cheng saw the president speaking, he didn't show off. He complained: "Master, I am really not shirking. First of all, after the stronghold of Star City is removed, Star City will not have a reserve of rough stones. Even if you want to pick rough stones, the nearest city is far away.
This is also hundreds of miles away. If I wanted to pick out all the rough stones, I would have to go around half of the country. In this situation, it is impossible to achieve it in three to five months. Even if I am free, I will not be able to accompany Jiang.
Sir, I'll be gone for three to five months."
When it comes to this matter, even if you are in charge, it seems hard to say anything else.
It's not that I disagree, it's that the current situation doesn't allow it. No matter how deep our friendship is, under the current situation, it's impossible for anyone to accompany you for three to five months.
Not to mention the crises in various places, the time is spent on this, is the black market still functioning?
Because the manpower of the black market itself has been greatly reduced, and it is stretched to run. If he, the person in charge, accompanies Jiang Yue everywhere again, I am afraid that the operation of the black market will be even more difficult, or even impossible to operate.
The leader looked at Jiang Yue with some embarrassment.
On the contrary, Jiang Yue was very calm and did not show any displeasure.
In fact, his intuition told him that although Mr. Cheng spoke very sincerely and seemed to have a low attitude, what he said was at best half-truth and half-false, and may not be 100% true.
But this matter can only be carried out if you and I are willing to do it. If the boss is not careful about this process from the beginning, it is bound to be impossible to reach an agreement.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue smiled and raised his teacup: "Drink tea."
The leader was a little strange, but seeing Jiang Yue so calm, he couldn't show any anxiety, so he nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang said it well, if the business cannot be concluded, the friendship is still there. Lao Cheng, you
Don’t take it to heart either.”
Bai Mo kept smiling and saying nothing, as if he was not interested in what was going on here at all.
Mr. Cheng originally wanted to take a stab at it, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yue didn't follow up and the president actually stopped following up, which made him a little embarrassed.
I suspected that I might have gone too far, failed to grasp the scale properly, and completely blocked the door.
Immediately he said: "Mr. Jiang, it's really not up to me, Old Cheng. In this way, you can tell me the amount you need and what the approximate demand is. This way I can have a good idea and try my best to transfer the rough stones from various places to the nearest city.
Once we get there, maybe we can barely operate it."
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "The demand for rough stones can be large or small, but I must choose it myself."
"Mr. Jiang, this is really making things difficult for me."
Jiang Yue said sincerely: "These requirements are indeed a bit difficult, so if it is convenient for Mr. Cheng, I will never treat him badly. But if it is inconvenient, I will find another way."
This is also Jiang Yue's truth.
Looking for characters and patterns on rough stones is like buying a lottery ticket. No one can guarantee the winning rate.
What if after a thorough search, no rough stone with patterns and characters engraved on it was found?
How to explain to Mr. Cheng?
None of your rough stones meet my requirements, and I don’t want any of them. This looks like a trick, and the road will be narrowed.
Jiang Yue originally planned that if Jiang Yue didn't pick out the rough stones he needed, he would also ask for some symbolically to make things easier for each other.
Mr. Cheng didn't seem to want to offend Jiang Yue and Zhu Zheng.
After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made a difficult decision: "In this way, I will first transfer all the rough stones from the nearby cities to Star City. This will take about three days. Three days later, I will make an appointment with Jiang
Sir, let’s find a place to discuss it in detail when the time comes. This is the best I can do now. What do you think, in charge?”
Being in charge is just a matchmaker.
Whether it works or not depends on Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue said sternly: "Mr. Cheng takes such good care of me. Even if I don't choose what I want in the end, I will definitely make up for it in other ways. I will never let Mr. Cheng feel cold after his efforts."
It's up to you, I won't accept it.
If you take the road, I will follow.
This is Jiang Yue's attitude towards this transaction.
Now that the two sides have finalized the plan, the atmosphere suddenly becomes harmonious.
Jiang Yue didn't talk much in front of a group of elders, but his aura was not inferior at all.
Han Jingjing watched Jiang Yue chatting and laughing with a group of elders, and her beautiful eyes could not hide the joy.
After bidding farewell to the administration, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Jiang Yue was not idle, but went to the action bureau without stopping.
Every minute is important now, Jiang Yue is not willing to wait until dawn tomorrow.
The Operations Bureau is still the busiest person in the entire Star City.
Jiang Yue went directly to Luo Teng and gave a brief summary of the archaeological expert's information.
With the authority of the Action Bureau, there is almost no one they cannot find.
About half an hour later, Luo Teng found all the information.
"Xiao Jiang, this old expert... his identity is very mysterious. If it weren't for the Action Bureau, other yamen might not be able to find him."
As Luo Teng spoke, he flipped through the information in his hand, but then he turned to a page of information, frowned slightly, and then glanced up at Jiang Yue in surprise.
That expression was more or less surprised and complicated.
"What?" Jiang Yue looked at his words and saw that there was something wrong with Luo Teng's eyes.
"This old expert... he is the sponsor behind the Star City Archaeological Research Institute, and several projects he sponsored..."
"What?"
Star City Archaeological Research Institute!
These seven words rang in Jiang Yue's ears like thunder.
Although Jiang Yue was still young at that time, he also knew that the Xingcheng Archaeological Research Institute was the unit where his mother originally worked.
For a time, scenes from the past kept reappearing in Jiang Yue's mind.
The unit provided by Mr. Kangaroo was not the Star City Archaeological Research Institute, but another unrelated unit.
Who would have thought that this old expert would actually sponsor a project of the Star City Archaeological Research Institute?
