Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Live broadcast temporarily interrupted.

Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo went to a private meeting room together.

slap~
Jiang Tao opened the silver briefcase.

It revealed the completely black meteorite lying quietly inside.

The surface of this meteorite has irregular pits and regmaglypts, making it look like a piece of ordinary coal.

"Is this a meteorite? It's so big!"

Zhang Bo exclaimed in surprise when he saw the stone in the suitcase!

As the young heir and future leader of Boya Auction House.

Although Zhang Bo's knowledge of antiques and meteorites is not as extensive as his father Zhang Long's, he still has some expertise.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "You've got a good eye, kid. Can you give me a price estimate?"

"Ahem, Brother Tao, as you know, I'm only a novice when it comes to meteorites. My dad has to handle this kind of thing."

Zhang Bo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly; his knowledge of meteorites was very limited.

Jiang Tao came to sell meteorites several times, and it was always his father, Zhang Long, who made the final decision on the price.

"Why don't you call your dad and ask? Uncle Zhang is probably out fishing again, right?"

Jiang Tao smiled.

Sometimes he was quite envious of Zhang Bo's father, Zhang Long.

Zhang Long has now basically handed over all the family business to Zhang Bo.

He goes out fishing every day without fail, rain or shine.

"Brother Tao, wait a moment, I'll call my dad right away."

Without wasting any words, Zhang Bo took out his phone and made a video call to his father.

beep-

Video calls connect in less than 10 seconds.

The video flashed, revealing a middle-aged man with dark skin wearing a fisherman's hat.

The man sat on the fishing box with two fishing rods beside him; it was indeed Zhang Long fishing.

"Dad, Brother Tao is here. He brought a stone with him. Can you take a look at it?"

After Zhang Bo answered his father Zhang Long's call, he didn't waste any words with his father and immediately turned the camera around to point at the stone in the suitcase.

Wow! It's huge!

Zhang Long was quite surprised when he saw the meteorite weighing more than 8 kilograms, and the lazy expression on his face disappeared instantly.

This is the largest meteorite he has ever seen!
"Son, zoom in a bit!"

"Yes, take pictures of them from every angle and show them to me!"

"Especially the details of the fused shell and pores on the surface!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Long directed Zhang Bo to show the meteorite's various details through the camera.

With Zhang Bo's help, Zhang Long carefully observed the video for several minutes, becoming increasingly excited as he watched.

"A big shipment! This is a really big shipment!"

"Son, tell Xiao Jiang to wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

"This could very well be a Martian meteorite! If it's confirmed, that would be incredible!"

"Okay, Dad, we'll wait for you at the store."

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

About half an hour later.

Zhang Long hurriedly entered the shop and saw Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo drinking tea.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry to disturb your fishing."

The moment Jiang Tao saw Zhang Long, he stood up with a smile and greeted him.

"Haha, what are you saying, kid? Your uncle would love for you to bother me every day!"

Zhang Long laughed heartily twice, and the more he looked at his son, the more he felt that this friend his son had recently made was worth getting to know better.

Since the end of last year, Jiang Tao has visited Boya quite a few times.

From initially worth tens of thousands of dollars in fine banknotes to stones worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, Yuan Shikai silver dollars, and then to ancient bronze coins and auspicious ingots worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This time, they brought meteorites worth millions, possibly even more than ten million!

Although Boya offered Jiang Tao the highest price on the market, cutting his profit margin very low, there was still a profit to be made.

Boya has already earned more than a million from Jiang Tao.

In addition, with Jiang Tao's help, Zhang Bo opened up the path to becoming a "treasure appraisal livestreamer".

Although there is still a considerable gap between him and the top player, Qingquan, he has taken a successful first step and has considerable potential for the future.

Therefore, Zhang Long valued his son's friend very much and often taught him to get closer to Jiang Tao.

After the group met and chatted for a while, Zhang Long began to use various tools and instruments to conduct a more detailed and meticulous examination of the meteorite brought by Jiang Tao.

Another half hour passed before Zhang Long finally let out a long sigh of relief, carefully put down the meteorite, his eyes filled with amazement.

Zhang Long looked at Jiang Tao and said with absolute certainty:

"Congratulations, Xiao Jiang! This is indeed a very precious Martian meteorite!"

"Its composition, structure, and unique fusion crust characteristics are consistent with known Martian meteorite samples."

"Currently, the number of these types of meteorites worldwide is still very small, and their research and collection value is extremely high!"

"Plus, your piece is so big and heavy! It can command a higher price premium."

"Based on current international market prices, this meteorite, if sent to Sotheby's auction house, should fetch around 1200 million yuan."

After listening to Zhang Long's analysis and quote, Jiang Tao felt even more respect for him.

Uncle Zhang is indeed a veteran in the antique business, having worked in it for decades; he is truly professional!
The system estimates the value of this meteorite at around 1200 million!
"Besides auctioning it at Sotheby's, are there any faster sales channels?"

Jiang Tao had some understanding of the auction house's procedures; the various formalities, contracts, and fees were quite troublesome.

Moreover, the repayment period after the auction is also very long.

"Or, you can sell it to us directly and we'll handle the rest, but... the price will definitely not be as high as a direct auction."

Zhang Long looked at Jiang Tao and offered another suggestion.

Jiang Tao smiled and looked at Zhang Long, saying:
"Uncle Zhang, we've known each other for a long time. Just give me a fair price. If it's right, I'll sell it to you directly. I hate trouble the most."

"That's it..."

Zhang Long hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jiang Tao again and said:

"Here's the deal, Xiao Tao. I'll round it up for you to 1000 million. That's the highest price I can offer. If you think it's right, Xiao Jiang, I can give you the cash today."

"Haha, since Uncle Zhang has spoken, we have to give him face, no one else but you. 10 million it is."

Jiang Tao made a decision quickly.

Selling it at an auction house would incur service fees and other charges, so he might not get much more in the end.

The price Zhang Long offered was actually quite reasonable.

If someone else brought this meteorite, he certainly wouldn't have offered such a high price.

"Haha, it's so much more pleasant to work with someone like you, Xiao Jiang! Alright, I'll take this meteorite. Son, go get the check."

Zhang Long, being the straightforward type, immediately told Zhang Bo to fetch the checkbook.

"Okay dad."

After Zhang Bo agreed, he got up and walked towards the door. He quickly returned to the reception room with a checkbook in his hand.

With a flourish of his pen, Zhang Long wrote out a cash check for 1120 million yuan and handed it to Jiang Tao.

After Jiang Tao checked and confirmed that everything was correct, he put it directly into his pocket.

After the transaction was completed, Zhang Long originally planned to go to a nearby teahouse with Jiang Tao to have some tea, chat, and reconnect.

However, Jiang Tao had many things to do this afternoon, so he declined the invitation to have tea.

Around 3 p.m., the Mercedes-Benz G-Class slowly drove into the underground parking lot of the Century City Hotel.

Jiang Tao told Jia Guilin to stay put, and he took the elevator to the 12th floor by himself.

Jiang Tao stopped at the door of room 1206 and knocked.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Click~
The moment Jiang Tao knocked on the door, the door opened from the inside, and a slender, fair arm reached out and pulled him directly into the room.

Click, click—

The door was closed and locked.

A hot body clung to Jiang Tao, as if it wanted to merge itself into his body.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Jiang Tao's "business trip" back to his hometown in Ping County lasted only three or four days.

Despite calling and video chatting every day, it was difficult to alleviate Yuan Mengqi's longing.

The moment Jiang Tao entered the room, the temperature inside rose rapidly, and the clothes on both of them fell to the floor.

After one hour……

Yuan Mengqi, her face as fair and rosy as a peach blossom, lay in Jiang Tao's arms, her slender, white fingers drawing circles on his strong chest muscles.

"Brother Tao, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Yuan Mengqi's soft voice had a slight hoarseness.

"Go ahead."

Jiang Tao glanced down at Yuan Mengqi, who was lying naked in his arms, and he had a general idea of ​​what she was going to say.

"The day after you went back to your hometown, Xu Li came to see me."

After saying that, Yuan Mengqi struggled to get up from Jiang Tao's arms, crossed her arms over his chest, and looked directly into his eyes.

Seeing Jiang Tao's calm expression and the lack of panic in his deep, star-like eyes, Yuan Mengqi was immediately surprised.

"and then?"

Jiang Tao raised his hand and slapped Yuan Mengqi's butt, then asked her with a smile what happened next.

"She said she already knew about us."

Yuan Mengqi wanted to see panic in Jiang Tao's eyes, but she was disappointed again.

Jiang Tao already knew all this from the daily intelligence updates, which is why he was unusually calm at this moment.

"anything else?"

Jiang Tao was also curious about what Xu Li would say to Yuan Mengqi.

"Xu Li said... she wanted me to have a child for you."

When it came to having children, Yuan Mengqi's face showed an expression of longing.

Although she had been married before, she had never had children.

Because she had no emotional foundation with her ex-husband, their relationship was simply a matter of living together as a couple.

She never had the idea of ​​having a child with him.

But when she was with Jiang Tao, she had a very strong desire to have his child.

"..."

Upon hearing Yuan Mengqi's words, Jiang Tao's arm around Yuan Mengqi stiffened slightly, and he felt even more guilty and heartbroken for Xu Li.

Having been married for over ten years, he understands Xu Li better than anyone else.

Xu Li probably compromised because she had been cooking with Jiang Tao at a high intensity for a while but had not made any progress.

This year, many people around me are getting pregnant.

First was her sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyan, then her mother-in-law Du Yongmei, and then her brother-in-law An Mingrong.

This also deeply saddened Xu Li, who had always wanted to have a second child but had been unable to do so.

Every time she accompanied her mother and aunt to a prenatal checkup, she would also get a checkup herself.

Xu Li was speechless because she couldn't conceive despite having no health problems.

Of course, Jiang Tao's various physical indicators are more normal, so it's not his problem.

With both of them fine, Xu Li naturally blamed herself for the problem.

Xu Sha, who happened to be visiting Yuan Mengqi's house that day, was the first to know about Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi's affair.

Getting someone to keep a secret is an extremely difficult thing.

After Xu Sha accidentally witnessed Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi's affair, she entered a state of inner turmoil.

She hadn't slept for three days straight, and almost had a mental breakdown.

On one side is her idol brother-in-law, and on the other side is her own sister.

Xu Sha naturally felt closer to her older sister.

In the end, Xu Sha still couldn't keep the secret.

She told her sister about Jiang Tao and Yuan Mengqi's situation, leaving this difficult problem for her sister to handle.

Xu Li was also very upset when she first heard the news.

But getting her to divorce Jiang Tao and leave him is harder than killing her.

Furthermore...

Jiang Tao's physical condition has been getting better and better recently.

Xu Li felt that she couldn't handle him on her own.

After secretly crying a few times, she finally chose to "turn a blind eye" and pretend that nothing had happened.

During this time, Jiang Tao did not neglect her at all.

He transferred thirty to forty million yuan in cash to her alone, showing no sign of being wary of her at all.

Gradually, Xu Li got used to Yuan Mengqi's presence.

Despite her long-term infertility, she even took the initiative to approach Yuan Mengqi, hoping that she could have a child for Jiang Tao.

It's really hard to find a wife as silly as Xu Li in this world.

"Brother Tao, I'll say it again: I don't want anything else, I just want you."

"I'd be perfectly content if you could come and keep me company every few days."

"If you really don't want it, I... won't force you."

When Yuan Mengqi saw the slight change in Jiang Tao's expression, she thought she had made things difficult for him, and touched his face with a touch of heartache.

"Fool, what do you mean you won't force me?"

"I've said it before, I will be responsible for you for the rest of my life, you will always be my woman, Jiang Tao's woman."

After saying that, Jiang Tao lowered his head and kissed Yuan Mengqi's red lips hard.

Around 4pm.

Exhausted, Yuan Mengqi fell into a deep sleep on the hotel bed.

Jiang Tao tiptoed out of bed, took a shower, and then went downstairs to Zhongbai Apartment to catch up with He Jing's event.

Thankfully, there's this BUG-level miracle drug, 【Divine Five-Seed Progeny Pill】.

Otherwise, even if Jiang Tao had a stainless steel kidney, it wouldn't be enough for him to build.

I stayed in He Jing's room at Zhongbai Apartment for an hour and a half.

Around 6:30 p.m., Jiang Tao finally returned to Baigezhuang Community after a long day of running around.

Afterwards, he immediately took his entire family in two cars to the Huabin Manor to keep the appointment.

This dinner party was arranged a few days ago when Jiang Tao left Beijing.

Xu Li and her team made a lot of preparations for this.

While Jiang Tao was away at his hometown, Xu Li even took the whole family to buy new clothes and jewelry. (End of Chapter)
