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

Chapter 49 Playing a Round of Stone Gambling

Behind him were dozens of miners.

These people all need money, they all need to support their families, and they all place their hopes on themselves.

I want to lead them to make money.

Faced with this suppression, Zhang Dong thought to himself, "Damn it, I really don't believe in evil. As a reborn person, do you think I can't beat a country bumpkin like you?"

Wang Jianguo, what the hell are you so great about? You're just a mine owner.

Next, Zhang Dong adopted the principle of strategic importance and tactical contempt for the opponent, and used his experience to quickly come up with a countermeasure.

Next, he even went to a nearby store and bought a bucket of playing cards.

Tang Guo was taken aback when she saw Zhang Dong return with playing cards.

"Hey Dong, did you suffer some kind of huge shock and your mentality is a bit off? How come you're still in the mood to play poker?"

Upon hearing Tang Guo's words, Zhang Dong burst into laughter.

"Haha, it's okay, I'm not that fragile. The reason I wanted to play poker with you guys was to confuse the other side."

"What, mislead the other side?"

Tang Guo was completely confused, but soon she understood what Zhang Dong meant.

"Brother Dong, are you saying that Wang Jianguo's men might be watching us?"

Zhang Dong smiled and then nodded.

"Of course, since he wants to deal with us, he will definitely send his men to keep a close eye on our situation. Maybe this guy is waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves."

"Then let them laugh to their heart's content; that's also a way to lull them into a false sense of security..."

Meanwhile, in a private room of the teahouse.

When Wang Jianguo heard one of his subordinates tell him about the lukewarm reception Zhang Dong had received when selling jade, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha, Zhang Dong, you're still a baby, barely out of your teens, and you dare to venture into the jade market after digging up two pieces of jade? Who gave you such audacity?"

The lackeys beside him also curled their lip and mocked Zhang Dong.

"That's right, boss. I heard that there's not a soul in front of their stall right now. Zhang Dong and his men are so bored that they're playing cards."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianguo let out another triumphant laugh.

"Hahaha, good, let's keep it up like this. I want to see how this kid Zhang Dong can fight me..."

The next morning, Zhang Dong did not appear at the jade market in his true form. Before coming, he had Tang Guo do his makeup.

Now he's wearing a fake beard and has bought a set of high-end clothes.

At that moment, he was wearing sunglasses and a top hat, dressed like a businessman from out of town.

Since last night, he had repeatedly considered how to deal with Wang Jianguo. Only after he had made sure that there were no flaws in any of the steps did he return here.

He didn't let Tang Guo and the others come over today.

Instead, they let her stay at the mine and continue cooking for everyone.

Yesterday, Zhang Dong realized that with her innocence and kindness, keeping her here would only cause her suffering. It would be better to send her back to help her parents cook for the miners.

Zhang Dong didn't let the miners who came yesterday come over either.

This time, he hired several new miners in order to catch Wang Jianguo off guard.

Sure enough, Wang Jianguo was at one of his hideouts in the jade market, listening to his subordinates' report.

However, at this moment, he looked completely bewildered.

"What did you say? Zhang Dong and the others didn't come today?"

"That can't be right. Knowing him as I do, given his personality, he won't admit defeat so easily."

Li San frowned when he heard Wang Jianguo doubt their intelligence.

"Boss, our people haven't found any trace of Zhang Dong in the jade market."

Wang Jianguo frowned again: "Didn't find anything? That can't be right. You guys should search again carefully. I feel that this kid will never give up. It's impossible for him to just back down like this."

"Okay, boss, let's go back to the market and see what's going on."

Wang Jianguo, still worried, cautioned them, "Don't be careless. Don't let his youth fool you, this kid's got a brain. Otherwise, he'd be a dozen or so dead already..."

Wang Jianguo said these words through gritted teeth.

From the moment Zhang Dong hit his son, the two of them became sworn enemies.

From that moment on, Wang Jianguo never stopped thinking about killing Zhang Dong.

But to this day, this guy is still alive and kicking, which means he's definitely not simple.

That's why Wang Jianguo was worried and gave instructions to his subordinates.

The jade market was bustling with activity.

At this moment, Zhang Dong did not set up a stall, but instead began a new operation according to the steps he had planned yesterday.

He had already rented a storefront, and his new helpers had already moved the jade into the storefront.

Only then did he realize that he was missing a crucial tool to start the work: a stone-cutting machine.

There was no other way but to rent one from a nearby store.

What Zhang Dong is going to do today is to gamble on jade.

Yesterday, Zhang Dong strolled around the jade market and got a clear understanding of its current situation.

Since this was only in 95, the jade gambling that later generations liked to play with had not yet appeared.

Having been reborn, he naturally knew the time period in which jade gambling emerged.

In fact, the history of jade gambling can be traced back to Bian He during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

On Mount Jing, he discovered a stone containing beautiful jade, and by examining the surface of the stone, he discerned the quality of the jade within.

He was ultimately convinced that this was a precious jade, and he can be considered the originator of jade gambling.

The rise of modern jade gambling occurred at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.

With the booming jade market and increasing interest in jade culture, jade gambling has gradually become a popular recreational activity.

Especially around 2013, with the popularity of various treasure appraisal programs, jade gambling became a focus of public attention, attracting a large number of novice players to enter this field.

Now, in 1995, once I unleash such a high-end device, I'm sure I can break Wang Jianguo's underhanded tactics against me.

The owner of the rental company was quite surprised to see the equipment being rented in Zhangdong.

"Hey bro, you want to open a storefront, why don't you buy the professional equipment yourself?"

Seeing the other person's confusion, Zhang Dong smiled at him.

"There's no way around it, we weren't prepared at all. Otherwise, we could have rented the stone-cutting machine from you."

The boss burst into laughter: "Hahaha, that's true."

With the stone-gambling machine in hand, Zhang Dong had several of his men ring a gong and set up a small loudspeaker to continuously broadcast messages welcoming everyone to participate in the stone gambling competition.

Zhang Dong's idea required attracting everyone's attention before he could start gambling on stones.

If it's as deserted as yesterday, what's the point of playing?
