Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

Episode 158: Potential of a Nouveau Riche

The Chinese man didn't seem to mind Lin Tao's disrespect, instead grinning as he watched them display their affection. Ever since he learned someone was interested in the rough stone he'd purchased, he'd secretly sent someone to investigate the individual's background. Unfortunately, aside from the information Puwang had provided him, he couldn't find any information about him. It was as if this person had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making one doubt his motives.

"What do you mean? Are you unwilling or do you think I'm not sincere enough?" Lin Tao picked up a glass of wine on the table, took a look at it and had no intention of drinking it. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man through the glass.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and looked at Lin Tao. "What price are you willing to offer?"

Lin Tao snorted coldly: "That depends on how much you are willing to pay."

The man smiled slightly, glanced at Mo Xi beside him, and then slowly raised a finger. Lin Tao glanced at it and said disdainfully, "One million is a reasonable price. I saw the price they sold it to you, and it's about the same."

The man shook his head again. Lin Tao couldn't help but look at him, "Ten million? That's a bit unkind!"

The man shook his head again. Lin Tao slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table. "What do you mean? You want 100 million for a piece of broken stone?"

Now even Mo Xi and Pu Wang, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but frown, thinking: If you don't want to sell it, just say so directly. Isn't Yang's exorbitant price obviously embarrassing everyone?

But when everyone was puzzled, the man spoke slowly, "Boss Xia, don't worry!"

As he spoke, he took out the stone from a black package beside him. Only then did Lin Tao notice that there was such a big black bag next to him.

The man placed the stone on the carpet in front of Lin Tao and gestured with his right hand, inviting him in. Confused, Lin Tao glanced at the stone, then at the man, then pointed at himself uncertainly and asked, "What do you mean? Give it to me?"

The man smiled and nodded.

Everyone was stunned. Lin Tao and Tian Tian might not have understood how much this stone was worth, but Puwang and Mo Xi knew for sure. For so many years, this stone had been sitting there, untouched. It wasn't because of its price, but because everyone knew that without a bit of financial resources, no one would dare to claim it.

The specific reason is that the Kawa tribe itself values ​​this stone very much. Although they also occupy some jade veins, there are almost no jades of this quality. Therefore, everyone knows that you can afford this stone, but you may not be able to keep it. This is why no one dared to buy this stone for so many years.

If this person did not have a Chinese background and his influence in China was not weak, he would not dare to show off his power here with this stone, and the ending would definitely not be good.

"Then what do you mean?" Lin Tao asked suspiciously, smiling and raising a finger.

The Chinese man laughed heartily and said, "One dollar. I'll sell this stone to you for just one dollar."

Everyone was shocked again when they heard this. Such a valuable thing was sold for only one dollar?

Lin Tao couldn't believe it either, but he knew it clearly in his mind. This stone was very famous in Siam, and everyone knew what it was. This Chinese man must have some hidden secret behind doing this.

"Snapped!"

Lin Tao reacted extremely quickly. Just as everyone was stunned, he slammed the table and stood up with a bang.

"Are you looking down on me?"

Everyone was stunned again, and this time they turned their attention to Lin Tao.

"Why don't you go out and ask around? When has your Uncle Xia ever taken advantage of anyone? Why don't you just say you gave it to me for free? I'm your father! Do I need you to fawn over me like this?"

As soon as Lin Tao said this, everyone's jaw dropped. Even the Chinese man's smile froze on his face. He looked at Lin Tao as if he were a monster.

"Is this the temperament of a nouveau riche?" Puwang secretly clicked his tongue. In all these years, he had never seen anyone dare to be so arrogant to a big boss from China.

Lin Tao put his hands on his hips, with an arrogant look, and nodded at Tian Tian. Tian Tian understood what he meant and immediately took out a bank card and put it on the table.

"There are 500 million Chinese yuan in here. Consider it the price of buying your stone." He wiped his nose and said, "Uncle Xia, I don't have any other skills, but I am rich. I don't care about it even if it's given to me for free."

After saying that, he looked at Puwang again and said, "Tell someone to take it out for me later. It's boring to sit here. I'm going out now. I'm very interested in what those foreigners are selling. I have to go out and take the opportunity to get some back."

As he was about to leave, the Chinese man, who had been staring at the bank card on the table without saying anything, spoke up, "Are you leaving now? Why don't you stay a while longer?"

Lin Tao snorted coldly, "I don't like those who try to gain friendship without knowing the truth. I prefer those foreign devils who do business with real money and are straightforward. That suits my taste."

As Lin Tao was about to leave, Puwang and Mo Xi looked at each other, and both of them decided to stay put.

"What if I say I have business to discuss with Mr. Xia?" the Chinese man spoke again.

Lin Tao sneered in his heart, “This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for you to say.”

Lin Tao didn't say anything, he just stopped and turned to look at him, and the man quickly stood up and turned around.

"Boss Xia, please don't misunderstand me. If my actions just now offended you, please forgive me. Since Boss Xia is so straightforward, why don't we sit down and have a good chat? I might have a deal that might interest you."

"Haha, as long as we do business, we are friends and brothers, but we will look down on those who give things away for free." Lin Tao deliberately displayed the arrogance and domineering spirit of a nouveau riche. There are many nouveau riche who are lucky and rich in this world, and there are many like Lin Tao, so no matter what kind of noise he makes, no one here will think he is going too far.

Lin Tao chuckled and hugged Tian Tian beside him, kissing her hard on the face. Then he sat down opposite the man and said, "I have plenty of money and women, so don't try to be cunning with me. I won't like you."

The man laughed dryly for a while, glanced at Mo Xi beside him, and then slowly said: "I wonder which tribe you are from?"

Lin Tao snorted disdainfully, "Do I really have to join a tribe to do this?"

Everyone looked at him in confusion. It would not be easy to make a good living in Siam without the support of the tribe.

Mo Xi seemed to have understood something. The Chinese man might not understand, but Mo Xi remembered something.
