So, Shi Zhong talked about the diamond in his space ring. Of course, the excuse was that he got it by chance, and Andrew knew it well.
"Is there any manipulation in the cutting method?" Andrew asked.
"I don't know about this, but I guess the amount is a bit large, quite a lot!" Shi Zhong said, how could he tell whether it was a universal cut or a special cut? He only knew that it was a real diamond, uh, of course.
Everyone knows it.
"...Well then, I still have a lot of follow-up matters related to South Africa that need to be dealt with. I can't get away. I'll ask my person in charge in Deep Sea City to bring the things back. You won't be able to trust me, right?"
Andrew said half-jokingly.
"I don't trust you, would I tell you such a thing?" Shi Zhong said with a smile.
"Okay, wait for my call. You'll be in Deep Sea City within an hour, right?" Andrew said.
"Well, I'll go to your company later and let him wait for me there!"
After hanging up the phone, Shi Zhong looked at his watch. It was half past two in the afternoon. It seemed that he could only go back to Zhouhang City in the evening, and he should also put his spiritual practice on his schedule. Not to mention practicing Buddhism, but to practice Taoism.
Well, it’s not a problem to hang around like this all the time. If you go out for a walk on your own, maybe as Senior Brother Yichenzi said, there will be a qualitative transformation in the Taoism. The so-called Taoism is no longer a vase, beautiful but not practical.
, and, with the improvement of the realm of monasticism, its temptation to oneself is also constantly increasing, no less than the charm of money. Now if Shi Zhong gives up the idea of monasticism, he will probably be very unwilling. I would like to see it.
Let's see if he can step into the so-called Tao womb stage and absorb the essence of heaven and earth to temper his body. Shi Zhong dare not imagine that this is true. If so, what is the difference between him and the gods? The body can continuously replenish the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, isn't it?
Immortal?
Shi Zhong was very confused.
"Brother Shi?"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Shi Zhong's contemplation. He looked up and saw a Hyundai Elantra parked in front of him, and Zhang Xu was opening the door.
"Brother Zhang, what a coincidence?" Shi Zhong greeted him with a smile.
"No!" Zhang Xu said with a smile, but Shi Zhong felt that there was a sad look in his smile, and there was one word written on his whole face: bad.
"Come and have a cigarette. Why do you look so haggard?" Shi Zhong took out a cigarette that he had never smoked and handed it over.
Zhang Xu took the cigarette, rubbed his face hard, and said, "Is there any?" Then he muttered to himself, "I have to see my parents later." He looked up at Shi Zhong, "Business is not easy to do now.
And there are scams everywhere, alas!”
"Why, are you still worried about the shipment from San Francisco, the United States?" Shi Zhongxiao asked. He met Zhang Xu on the plane when he first met. He was engaged in foreign trade. There was a problem with a shipment from the United States, so he went to communicate in person.
solve.
"That incident is an old thing. How could the Yankees care about a small company like ours? I disposed of the goods and lost a small amount of money, but this time it was a big deal. If I didn't handle it well, I would have lost at least thirty dollars."
If it's more than ten thousand, then my two years of work will be in vain, and the company will have to get back to its original shape!" Zhang Xu sighed.
"Have you been defrauded of money?" Shi Zhong asked.
"Well, it's my fault that I'm too eager for quick success and quick profit, eager to expand the company's business. As you know, the current economic situation makes it difficult to do foreign trade, so I'm thinking about finding other ways to make money."
Zhang Xu narrated that half a month ago, one of his business partners contacted him and said that there was a project that needed funds. The three of them were working together. Zhang Xu also went to inspect it. In addition to that partner,
The third person, Zhang Laosan, is indeed very powerful. He is in the business of bonsai and landscape trees, and his assets are several million, but most of them are precious trees planted in the mountains, and he cannot afford that much cash at once.
Three people, each of them paid more than 300,000 yuan, and together they collected 1 million, and they were still in the business of landscape trees. It turned out that Zhang Laosan took over a city expansion project that required a large number of landscape trees, and he contracted it alone.
Come down.
But unexpectedly, after Zhang Xu transferred the money, a fire broke out on Zhang Laosan's mountain. This fire was so severe that it scorched all the landscape trees on the mountain behind him, except for a few old ones.
They were all dead. At that time, Zhang Xu wanted to withdraw his shares, but Zhang Laosan insisted that this investment would definitely make a lot of money, and he insisted on not letting it go. It would be strange for him to let it go. He had lost millions.
Crying to death, I was already very strong, and of course I was counting on the one million funds to get back on track, but unexpectedly, the house leaked and it rained all night. The next day, news came that the news of urban expansion had yet to be confirmed.
When Zhang Xu asked Zhang Laosan where he knew about the urban expansion, he said that he knew it from a very powerful director, that is, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau. Of course, you could indeed call him that before being Shuanggui. At this time,
It was too late for Zhang Xu to withdraw his capital. One million dollars had been turned into landscape trees, some big and some small. They were beautifully decorated, but they couldn't get their money back.
Finally, Zhang Xu said: "Now my company's funds cannot be withdrawn, and basic normal operation has become a problem. I have plans to sell this car."
Your car won't be worth much if you sell it!
Shi Zhong originally wanted to make a joke like this, but thinking that he was in a bad mood, he didn't say it. However, he was a little sensitive to the news revealed by Zhang Xu: "You said that Zhang Laosan's back hill has many old trees.
, and they are all very old? How do you know?”
"Zhang Laosan was bragging to me at the time, saying that these trees were the most valuable, but those trees were really big, with some of them even being able to be hugged by three people, and they were not ordinary trees, although they were not rare.
But it’s not common!” Zhang Xu said.
"Did Zhang Laosan say how many of those trees are over a hundred years old?" Shi Zhong asked excitedly.
"I think you said it before, I don't remember it either, but in my opinion, it's definitely a hundred years or more. Let's just say that cinnamon tree, it's so thick, it wouldn't have grown that big if it hadn't taken a hundred years, with its open and unkempt head.
It's several meters out." Zhang Xu said as if recalling.
"Okay, Brother Zhang, do you have the contact information of Zhang Laosan?" Shi Zhong asked, glancing at Zhang Xu who looked suspicious. Shi Zhong continued, "Well, wait until I make a call.
.”
As he said that, he walked aside and dialed Chu Liang's cell phone. The person who answered the phone was Secretary Li Gang. "Hello, Mr. Shi!" Li Gang didn't dare to get too close to Shi Zhong and didn't say anything flattering, but he
Maintain full respect.
"Oh, Secretary Li, Chu...is the mayor here?" Shi Zhongdao said, forcing the original Chu brother back, so be careful about the impact.
"Mayor Chu is having an urgent meeting right now. If you want to contact him, I guess..." Li Gang wondered, since he became the second secretary of Zhouhang City, he has never been so careful when talking to others.
He has always been flattered by others, and he is also the mayor's personal secretary. Even the heads of some city bureaus must be polite when meeting him.
"Is that so...how long will it take him to finish the meeting?" Shi Zhong asked.
"That's not clear... How about I help you keep an eye on it, and I'll deliver the message to you as soon as Mayor Chu comes out?" Li Gang said carefully.
"No, by the way, Secretary Li, I want to ask you something!" Shi Zhong said.
"Say it!" Li Gang said.
"I heard that the administrative center of Lingshui District will be moved west. Is it true?" Shi Zhong asked.
"...There is such a thing. What about the resolution passed by the city a month ago? Is Mr. Shi interested in this?" Li Gang asked. He had been in the officialdom for many years and he smelled something.
"Oh, I have nothing to do. It's just a friend of mine who originally contracted the construction of the landscape tree, but didn't you sack the director of the Urban Construction Bureau a while ago? Then his job fell through!" Shi Zhong said.
"Did your friend's procedure go through normal channels?" Li Gang asked redundantly, but he actually knew it tacitly. A project that would be stopped because the director of the Urban Construction Bureau stepped down would already have something fishy to look at.
However, Li Gang didn't mind giving Mr. Shi a favor to be able to be brothers with the mayor. To be honest, those who flattered him were just following him.
"...Isn't this good? How about I go find out more about the situation? I don't know the details!" Shi Zhong said with some hesitation.
"It depends on what Mr. Shi said. Let's do this. I'll say hello to the Lingshui District Urban Construction Bureau right away. It's all in accordance with the formal procedures." Li Gang said, Shi Zhong said a few words with a smile, and then hung up.
He didn't think anything of it, but Li Gang was very excited and quickly made a call on his landline. The mayor's brother's matter couldn't be resolved quickly.
Shi Zhong walked back to Zhang Xu and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, how about you accompany me to Zhouhang City? Maybe your investment will turn around!"
"Ah?" Zhang Xu opened his mouth, a little surprised. He knew that Shi Zhong had some energy, otherwise he would not be able to suppress Long Sheng, the leader of the underworld in Shenhai City, but he did not expect that the energy was so powerful. He asked his grandfather to sue his grandmother with a phone call.
Things that couldn't be solved were done. He could hear Shi Zhong's words. The so-called turning point must be that the relationship must be inseparable.
"Brother Shi, what do you want me to say? This time... really, I really thank you so much, shall we leave now?" Zhang Xu was a little incoherent.
"Your family is still inside, why don't you go in and say something?" Shi Zhong prompted.
"Oh, yes, yes, please wait for me for a moment. I'll be out soon. Go in and say hello and I'll be out!" Zhang Xu trotted in. After two minutes, as expected, Zhang Xu ran over panting, "Shi
Bro, your car?"
"I didn't drive here, so I have to rub against your car again!" Shi Zhong laughed.
"Looking at what you said, you helped me such a big favor, I..."
"Brother Zhang, treat me as a friend and don't mention these things. Who doesn't have a little difficulty?" Shi Zhong waved his hands.
"Haha, that's right." Zhang Xu smiled, but this was not a small difficulty for him. He could see that Shi Zhong didn't have that kind of arrogance and was sincerely making friends with him, which made him feel even more rare.
In today's society, trying to make one or two true friends is like thunder in winter and rain and snow in summer.
He pulled Jiheiro who was stunned into the car and waited for the Elantra to drive away. A girl came out from the door of the hotel and pouted: "Brother, it's true. They said it was a reunion dinner and they wouldn't introduce anyone to him.
You are running so fast, did you leak the news?" As he said that, he saw a woman walking across the street, waved and shouted: "Qianqian, Qianqian, you are here, I'm really sorry, my brother is temporarily busy, come here
No, but don’t worry, I will ask him to contact you when he is free. You have been old classmates for so many years, so it is not appropriate for him to treat you to a meal." (To be continued)! ~
