Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

That's why he wanted to take a stroll and learn about the jade market, since he had never done this kind of business before.

Zhang Dong knew that every industry had its own set of rules.

What he wanted to know was why few people were interested in his jade pieces after he put them out there. What was the reason for this?

As Zhang Dong passed by the teahouse, intending to visit other places, a burst of mocking laughter suddenly erupted from inside.

"Haha, that idiot actually dared to set up a stall in the jade market and offended the wrong person. I guarantee that this kid will soon lose everything, not even his underwear."

"Hehehe." A sinister laugh rang out: "That's right, this kid has some nerve, daring to offend someone like Wang Jianguo. Who gave him the guts?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dong's heart skipped a beat.

Without even looking into the teahouse, he could tell that the people talking inside were the same middle-aged men who had been picking and choosing at his stall earlier.

Zhang Dong suddenly realized what was going on.

Damn it, no wonder my goods were treated like this when they were put on the market. It turns out that bastard Wang Jianguo had tampered with things beforehand and given these people a heads-up.

No wonder the old guy didn't react when he heard that a jade mine had been discovered on his side. It turns out that the bastard was waiting for him here.

After learning the whole story, Zhang Dong wanted nothing more than to strangle Wang Jianguo.

This scumbag has apparently already spoken to some players in the jade market, telling them not to buy his jade.

So when they put these jade stones on the market, no one wanted them.

Sticking to the corner of the wall, Zhang Dong listened for a while longer and then understood Wang Jianguo's intentions and tactics.

Then a middle-aged man inside snorted coldly: "Boss Wang has already spoken to most of the jade merchants, warning them that none of them should buy Zhang Dong's goods. Let's see how long he can hold out."

Another middle-aged man sneered, "Who around here dares to disrespect Wang Jianguo? That guy is ruthless. If you offend him, you probably won't see the sun rise tomorrow."

However, some people raised questions: "That can't be right. Who is this young man? Why does he dare to go against Wang Jianguo? How did he manage to see the sun rise tomorrow?"

"Ahem!" The person next to him coughed. "You don't know, this young man and Wang Jianguo are mortal enemies."

"I heard that Wang Jianguo hates him to the bone, but there's no way to get rid of him. If there were a way, do you think he would still be alive?"

After understanding what had happened, Zhang Dong did not linger and went straight back to his ore stall.

Having a clearer understanding of the situation, Zhang Dong no longer held the same expectations he had before.

He had originally thought that his family's jade would be in high demand and short supply once it was put on the market.

But now, that's not the case at all.

Now that he knew the whole story, he had to come up with a solution.

It wouldn't be in Zhang Dong's character to just admit defeat like that.

Tang Guo was quite surprised to see Zhang Dong return with a blank expression after his stroll.

"Brother Dong, what's going on?"

"Didn't you say you were going to find out what happened? Did you find the reason?"

Seeing Tang Guo's anxious expression, Zhang Dong smiled and nodded.

"What, Brother Dong, have you already found the reason?"

Tang Guo smiled broadly: "Then tell me quickly, what exactly is the reason?"

“You’ve been gone for so long, and we haven’t had many customers here. Even those who have come are always finding fault with us; it’s obvious they’re not here to buy anything.”

Zhang Dong nodded: "That's right."

His attitude surprised Tang Guo and the other miners.

"Boss, what do you mean by 'this is right'? This is completely different from what we predicted. I thought that our jade would cause a buying frenzy in the jade market."

"But look, that's not how it is at all now."

Zhang Dong smiled and said, "I was right. It's because someone is playing tricks here."

Before Zhang Dong finished speaking, the group of people widened their eyes at the same time, especially Tang Guo, whose face was full of urgency.

"Brother Dong, you're saying nobody's buying our goods because someone's sabotaging us?"

Zhang Dong nodded: "That's right, it's that bastard Wang Jianguo."

"I just walked around the jade market and overheard people talking about us, which is how I found out what happened."

Zhang Dong recounted to the group what he had overheard the middle-aged men saying in the teahouse.

Tang Guo, with her straightforward personality, couldn't help but start cursing.

"That bastard Wang Jianguo, how could he be so despicable? We're all just doing our own business, what have we done to him?"

The miners were also indignant: "Boss, hurry up and come up with a plan to deal with this bastard!"

"If this continues, our jade mines will not be profitable, and the miners' morale will be greatly affected."

Zhang Dong nodded: "Don't get so agitated. Although I understand how you feel, we should remain calm, especially in situations like this."

"Only by devising countermeasures and breaking through the underhanded tricks the other side is using can we have the last laugh."

Tang Guo grinned: "But that old bastard Wang Jianguo has a wide network of connections, and he opened a jade mine a long time ago, so he was able to control the jade market and suppress us."

"In this situation, finding a solution is going to be quite difficult."

Seeing his childhood sweetheart looking so worried, Zhang Dong smiled at her.

“Hey, Tang Guo, I’m not asking you to come up with a solution. I can handle dealing with Wang Jianguo myself.”

Tang Guo smiled sheepishly: "I was just anxious. Besides, Brother Dong, even if you asked me, I don't have any good ideas."

"Haha, then don't bother me. Just wait here calmly. If no customers come in, we'll find our own fun to pass the time."

"There's no turning back now that we've entered the jade market. Let's have a showdown with that old fox, Wang Jianguo."

"I don't believe he has such great power to influence such a large jade market."

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, Tang Guo looked at him with admiration.

"Brother Dong, I know you'll definitely come up with a solution..."

Zhang Dong also knew the seriousness of the situation, after all, he wasn't the only one who needed to eat.

I'm a boss now.
