Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Expanding Wealth (Second Release)

The short guy, upon hearing Wu Shao’s resolute words, simply steeled his heart and decided to take a gamble, “Alright boss, give me 100,000, and if I can handle him, I’ll come back and follow you. But if I can’t… consider it my severance pay, okay?”

Wu Limin looked at him for a while before waving his hand dismissively, “Forget it, I’ll go find the old man instead. If you want to leave, then go.”

100,000… what are you thinking? If you take the money and run, that amount wouldn’t matter, but I can’t afford to lose that face.

Xiao Luo was left speechless, feeling a sudden chill in his heart—So you are just sending me away like this?

In the past half year, he’d been running around for Young Master Wu, and if not for the merits, he surely had the hard work, didn’t he? As for others calling him “shameless” and whatnot, he’d heard it all, but didn’t care much—All your nagging, can it hurt even a hair on me?

However, even if he didn’t care, he knew his reputation wasn’t good; but as long as he could cling onto Young Master Wu’s coattails, it was worth it.

Now that the “thigh” was gone, to say he wasn’t resentful would be a lie, but he really didn’t dare to give Wu Shao any trouble—he had interacted with the Wu family too much and was very clear about how terrifying Wu Jianguo was.

Even though President Wu advised his son to keep a low profile and conducted business with a friendly face, even if suffering minor losses, those who truly understood President Wu absolutely did not dare to take undue advantage of him.

Xiao Luo couldn’t bear to let go of all this, so his only option was to turn his attention back to Feng Jun.

In fact, he was very clear that if he could take down President Feng, he might return to Young Master Wu’s side.

But then again, if he could take down Feng, perhaps many people would flatter him because of it.

At that time, he might not even need to look at Young Master Wu’s face anymore.

All said and done, the first thing was to take down Feng’s arrogance; thinking more about other matters was useless.

He only had three days left, so Xiao Luo had to act quickly. He left the villa and after some thought, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, “Hello, youngest, I have a question for you… can you get in touch with Sister Hong?”

Feng Jun, after meeting the short guy, had lunch with Wang Haifeng at noon, and in the afternoon went to see Zhang Wei from the securities company.

He was seeing Director Zhang mainly to confirm and ask for help in minting a new batch of silver dollars, not minding the upfront deposit.

On the mobile phone realm, he had used up half of his gold, but there were still quite a few silver dollars left. However, since he planned to develop there long term, minting a new batch of silver dollars was necessary, and as for gold, there was no need to desperately seek it out.

Of course, he brought Li Xiaobin along this time to familiarize her with this person and some processes.

If they were to mint silver dollars next time, she would be the one to run around—it’s not like she could just earn a salary of 50,000 a month without doing anything.

Zhang Wei wasn’t too fond of Li Xiaobin. Although he was an experienced man, like most people, he harbored a deep-seated prejudice towards women of the night after pulling up his pants. He even expressed disdain in the car yesterday, saying that she wasn’t good enough for Feng Jun.

Feng Jun emphasized repeatedly that, not to mention she is my monitor, she is now my personal assistant, starting at a 50,000 monthly salary.

Director Zhang didn’t care much about the salary of 50,000, but upon hearing this, he realized that she had already transitioned and changed his attitude, roundabout suggesting—You should get her some different clothes to wear.

At this point, Li Xiaobin had returned to her rental room and changed into a relatively proper outfit. But no matter how fitting, it still had a seductive air to it, and while fashionable, it somewhat lacked in quality.

That was normal, after all, women of the night rarely donned extremely expensive brands because they were too prone to accidents.

Feng Jun stated that they would buy the clothing later, but Director Zhang, you can’t judge people by old standards.

That’s one thing; another matter was about the stock market. Luo Hua wasn’t interested in playing stocks, but… there was always a good scene, wasn’t there? He needed to learn more about it.

As a result, Zhang Wei lectured him, not just Director Zhang but also a project manager who had been called over. The two bombarded Feng Jun with information, almost encouraging him to buy funds the very next day.

Feng Jun wasn’t interested in that; the two of them knew it, too. It’s tough to mislead someone about money, but even if it’s tough, one must attempt—why else, if not for the vast sum involved?

Before they knew it, it was 7 o’clock in the evening. Zhang Wei wanted to invite Feng Jun for dinner—not to mention the matter of securities alone, but because the silver dollars had earned him quite a finder’s fee, and it wouldn’t be right not to treat him.

Feng Jun said, “I need to take my assistant out to buy clothes, how about we chat another time, is that okay?”

Huaxia indeed lived up to its name as a quasi-provincial city. He and Li Xiaobin shopped until 10:30 pm, not visiting the top luxury stores, but still purchasing over 30,000 worth of clothing—both for himself and for Li Xiaobin.

The next day the moment he opened his eyes, he contacted Zhang Weihong to visit the land he bought, discussed the layout of the future villas, and urged Sister Hong to find someone to design them.

By this time, his mind wasn’t really on this piece of land anymore; the reason being nothing other than his wealth expanding too quickly. Now, he was starting to consider buying a mountain top to turn it into a hidden Peach Blossom Valley.

Of course, the city of Zhengyang is not bad, choosing here as a foothold is also very necessary.

After finishing these topics, it was already noon, and then Sister Hong started talking about the jade trade.

She had already sold jade to other provinces, and basically, others were coming to Zhengyang to buy it. No wonder Li Dafu started feeling the wind; her moves were indeed quite significant.

That’s people for you, stick to what you know; everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Feng Jun was not very interested in selling jade; he was hit-or-miss, but Zhang Weihong couldn’t get enough of it, doing it with eager enthusiasm.

She said she didn’t have much jade left and urgently needed Feng Jun to provide some more.

Speaking of jade… Feng Jun had some right now; he brought back quite a lot this time, hidden in the room of the villa.

However, he had locked it up, not even Xu Leigang, the original owner, had the chance to discover the secret there.

Li Xiaobin only stayed in the villa one night, so she was even less likely to notice it.

Feng Jun had already hired his middle school class president as his private assistant and even involved her in the matter of casting silver dollars. But as for the jade matter, it seems necessary to keep it a secret for now.

This was his only reliable and stable source of income at the moment and related to the secret of the mobile space, so he really couldn’t hand it over entirely to someone else.

So Feng Jun said, “How about this, I’ll arrange for some to be prepared, and you bring two people along to pick it up from Peach Blossom Valley tomorrow.”

Sister Hong didn’t quite understand, “Peach Blossom Valley is quite troublesome to get in and out of, can you change the location? Or you could deliver it to Hongjie.”

In Li Xiaobin’s heart, she was quite wary of this beautiful woman and casually interjected after hearing this, “Is it very troublesome to enter and leave Peach Blossom Valley? I think it’s fine.”

Who is Sister Hong? Since she dares to call herself “social,” she must have some tricks up her sleeve. She didn’t know where this so-called “private assistant” popped up from, but she could sense the girl’s slight aversion to her.

And the reason for that… isn’t that obvious?

However, she really didn’t take Li Xiaobin seriously. Although the other party was a few years younger and not bad looking, she had enough confidence in herself so she responded casually, “Why don’t you try entering Peach Blossom Valley by yourself without President Feng, then you’ll see.”

“I haven’t tried that,” Li Xiaobin mused, nodding thoughtfully, “Every time I entered Peach Blossom Valley, it was in President Feng’s car.”

You’ve only been in once, haven’t you? Feng Jun glanced at her indifferently and said without revealing any emotion, “Alright then, tomorrow at noon, I’ll deliver the jade to Hongjie… and then it would be a good time to go hiking in the afternoon.”

“Who goes hiking in the afternoon,” Sister Hong said with a laugh and a shake of her head, “let’s just go hiking on the weekend instead.”

Since Sister Hong had a demand for jade, Feng Jun took the opportunity to ask casually, “Could you help me with getting a Merrick visa?”

Sister Hong looked at him strangely, “Can’t you do that yourself?”

Feng Jun spread his hands, expressing helplessness, “With money, what can’t be done? If I wanted, even immigrating wouldn’t be a huge issue, the key is… it would take a lot of time.”

Sister Hong thought to herself that this sounded about right, but the next moment, her curiosity was piqued again, “What are you in such a rush to do in Merrick?”

Feng Jun was silent for a while before speaking up, “Sister Hong, I heard you have some connections in Myanmar… can you get a large amount of explosives?”

“Tsk,” Sister Hong made a troubled clucking noise and glanced at Li Xiaobin, “President Feng, aren’t you worried that talking like this might scare this delicate little assistant?”

Feng Jun chuckled, “Use the trustworthy and don’t mistrust the used… right now, the mine urgently needs a large amount of explosives.”

Zhang Weihong looked at him in surprise, “So you can get a large amount of explosives by going to Merrick? I’m not joking, usually, without the right connections, trying to get explosives in the United States is even harder than in China. If you trust the wrong person, getting killed on the spot is a possibility…”

After pausing, she added another sentence, “And even if you got the explosives, how do you plan to bring them into Huaxia?”

Feng Jun had been deflated for quite some time but finally heard these words. He couldn’t help but smile confidently, “Transportation is really not an issue for me, whether it’s from Merrick, or from Myanmar… I have a way to bring it into the country.”

“Really?” Sister Hong’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, “Then you could also help carry other things too, right?”

“Carrying goods… It’s not impossible,” Feng Jun hesitated before answering, “However, let me clarify in advance that I won’t be involved in illegal activities. As for compensation, I don’t take cash, only explosives or gold.”

Sister Hong couldn’t contain her joy upon hearing the first part of his statement; the second half was inconsequential to her.

She asked happily, “How many tens of thousands of tons can you transport at once?”
