Chapter 993 - Chapter 993 Chapter 993 Gold Trading

Chapter 993: Chapter 993 Gold Trading Chapter 993: Chapter 993 Gold Trading Feng Jun is indeed tight on funds and currently still owes Yang Yuxin seven to eight hundred million that he hasn’t paid back.

His current cash on hand is just over three billion, yet there are expenses everywhere.

He’ll soon have to buy five or six communication systems and about ten merit point management systems, all of which cost money.

So when it comes to buying the stone lamps, he’s not planning to spend cash and decides to use gold directly–hundreds of tons of gold can’t be kept lying around forever.

After all, Zhuang Haoyun is a trader; taking gold, he wouldn’t worry about liquidating it, and the associated risks have nothing to do with him.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Haoyun was stunned for a moment before he incredulously asked, “One ton… of gold?”

“Yes, one ton of gold,” Feng Jun nodded, “it’s worth over two billion, the price I’m offering is fair, right?”

You should know, Smith only spent two hundred thousand to buy a stone lamp from the vice-president’s nanny. Feng’s offer is over a thousand times more, which cannot be said to lack sincerity.

However, Zhuang Haoyun is still somewhat confused, “The price… is astonishing, but why gold?”

“It holds value,” Feng Jun nonchalantly replied, “I feel that stone lamps can’t be measured by Huaxia currency. But if I give you spirit stones instead, then you might end up being more than just kidnapped… I think gold is quite appropriate.”

Zhuang Haoyun, of course, knows that spirit stones are valuable, but he also knows that he simply can’t keep them safe. It’s not just him, Bai Chuanmu, despite being a respectable Ni Hong citizen, was easily killed.

Compared to spirit stones, gold is easier to keep secure, and just as Feng Jun thought, Zhuang Haoyun indeed doesn’t worry about turning gold into cash. If he needs to, he can liquidate one or two hundred kilograms a month without causing any disturbance.

In fact, he might not even want to liquidate–what big family doesn’t store some gold as a contingency for emergencies? It’s perfectly normal.

He chuckled, “I’m just a bit surprised why payment is being made in gold.”

With a wave of his hand, Feng Jun spoke indifferently, “If you want more, just say so. How about… one and a half tons?”

An extra half-ton meant another billion or so. Zhuang Haoyun’s mouth opened slightly in shock, and it took a while for him to react. He hurriedly shook his head, “No no, I didn’t mean that.”

“Then consider the extra half-ton a gift from me,” Feng Jun declared decisively, “You can share it with your brothers if you want. As for the Danxia Sky trials, it’s up to you to figure it out. I won’t interfere.”

Zhuang Haoyun felt a bit unsatisfied, but the offer of one and a half tons of gold had left him dazed.

He had negotiated deals over a hundred million before, but gold counted by the ton was unheard of in his lifetime.

“If you have no objections, then it’s settled,” Feng Jun turned around and beckoned to Li Shishi, “Come, I’ll hand over the gold to you, and you’ll be responsible for counting it with Director Zhuang.”

Li Shishi also felt her legs go weak, “One… one and a half tons of gold?”

“It’s not a big deal,” Feng Jun said with a smile. He was hardly distressed about releasing another ton and a half of gold, which had almost begun to “rust” in his posession.

He opened a small door, revealing his storage room, and rolled out a hundred and fifty gold bars.

These gold bars, processed on the mobile phone plane, each weighed ten kilograms and were easy to count.

When Zhuang Haoyun followed inside, he was dazzled; no one could imagine the blinding effect of one and a half tons of gold arrayed before them–it was truly mesmerizing.

Director Zhuang had firmly decided not to accept any reward, but seeing this sight, he couldn’t help but waver.

In the end, he accepted the payment, though transporting the gold away was another challenge for him.

With this, Feng Jun had resolved another cause and effect. Upon reflection, there weren’t many such ties left on the Earth Plane.

He had just finished dealing with one matter when Li Shishi approached him soon after, “Master Feng, you said… you would teach me cultivation, mentioning we could start after the New Year.”

Feng Jun slapped his forehead upon hearing this, remembering his promise.

However, the prospect of Li Shishi’s aptitude… was somewhat despairing.

He nodded, “Alright, once you’ve wrapped up things with Zhuang Haoyun and this deal is complete, I’ll teach you cultivation. However, I can’t guarantee results, and may not find a particularly suitable cultivation technique for you.”

Li Shishi looked around, saw no one was paying attention, and mustered the courage to say, “I can practice yoga!”

“Go on, get out of here,” Feng Jun laughed, waving his hand, “You’re so young with such complicated thoughts… Teacher Mei and Sister Hong, they’re older and need to take shortcuts, but you’re young. You need to believe in yourself.”

Li Shishi cautiously replied, “I don’t believe in myself, I believe in practicing yoga.”

Feng Jun pretended not to hear and walked away. He then sent a thought to Hua Hua: Come here!

Before Hua Hua arrived, the gate guard began to call again, announcing the arrival of Yang Yuxin and Gu Jiahui.

The mother and daughter had left for the New Year, with Gu Jiahui flying to Jin City first to stay with her mother in their hometown for two days, then the two returned to the capital. Now, after the Lantern Festival, they had finally returned.

Yang Yuxin’s appearance once again surprised Zhang Caixin, “Director Yang has also started to cultivate?”

Director Yang smiled faintly, “Just practicing a bit, I’m no match for you. You all will become cultivators in the future, and I just want to keep my body healthy, live a long life, and spend more time with Xiao Hui.”

Director Yang, though proud, was definitely flawless in her social dealings, and she didn’t want to make an enemy of Zhang Caixin–the one with the best aptitude in the manor–for her daughter’s sake.

Zhang Caixin didn’t have a good solution to this kind of neither soft nor hard response.

Just then, Hua Hua flew in, flapping its wings. Seeing it, Feng Jun turned his head to look at Yang Yuxin, “Right, how are the negotiations with Ji Yuan and Zhengyang about that land going?”

“The negotiations were suspended before the New Year,” answered Yang Yuxin seriously, “I’ve come this time hoping to finalize the deal as soon as possible.”

Then she looked thoughtfully at Feng Jun, “Why, has something else happened?”

Feng Jun recounted the events that had happened over the New Year, and upon hearing this, Yang Yuxin became furious, “What audacity!”

Feng Jun let out a cold laugh, “This time, I’m not going to let that guy off lightly… I’ve already said, I don’t do real estate development. That guy is still pestering me, if I don’t show him some color, others will think I’m easy to bully.”

“Then just take action,” said Yang Yuxin lightly, “By the way, when I went back to Jin City, I heard that Old Master Yu is not doing well.”

Feng Jun looked at her in surprise, “What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting I wait patiently a little longer?”

“That’s not what I meant,” smiled Yang Yuxin and then remembered something else, “Speaking of which, after that Smith went back, he had people break Li Xiaomao’s legs, right at his doorstep on the first day of the New Year.”

“It’s not over just because his legs are broken,” Zhuang Haoyun came out just then, his face full of indignation, “I haven’t settled the score with him yet.”

He had never met Li Xiaomao, but it was that scoundrel who had set up the con to steal the Zhuang Family’s Stone Lamp.

But Feng Jun felt a bit ashamed. Even Zhuang Haoyun, an ordinary person, was so ruthless when it came to revenge; surely he couldn’t be outdone by an ordinary person?

He gave Hua Hua a look and walked out the door, then spoke in a low voice, “Do you know how to use Gu Insects?”

Without hesitation, Hua Hua replied, “Of course I do, but I’m not sure about using a Qianji Yugui.”

“It doesn’t have to be a Qianji Yugui, just an ordinary Gu Insect will do,” Feng Jun shook his head, his voice even lower, “I want one that doctors can’t cure.”

Hua Hua tilted its head as if thinking, then sent a message, “Doing this… would it be considered harming someone?”

Some people can’t be considered people at all! Feng Jun was about to say this but then thought it might affect Hua Hua’s principles, so he answered with a smile, “The consequences of what you do for me will be on me, don’t worry.”

Hua Hua thought for a moment, “Alright, I will choose one and consider which Gu Insect to use.”

Aside from the Qianji Yugui, all the Gu Insects it had were reared by the Liao Family Brothers, but with its ability as a Zhuguo Gu, summoning these Gu Insects was not a problem at all.

Qi Wukui had been quite troubled lately. On the eighth day, news came from Jin City that Old Master Yu had a stroke.

He wasn’t from the Yu Family, but his wife’s family name was Yu, and she called the old man ‘Uncle.’

He and his wife had visited Jin City, but afterward, his wife stayed back in the city, and he returned to handle their home and company matters.

Old Master Yu’s serious illness was a very secretive matter, but somehow, individuals like Zhengyang, with who knows what kind of ears, were hovering around him, trying to get information.

Qi Wukui was quite frustrated and had no intention of picking on Luohua anymore–during such a critical time, he had to keep a low profile.

That evening, he went to a villa in Peach Blossom Valley, one that he had bought for his mistress.

In fact, his wife also knew about his affairs outside, and the two had even erupted into fierce conflicts more than once.

But in this day and age, doing business meant entertainment was unavoidable, and over time, his wife got fed up too. Finally, after yet another violent confrontation, she made a minimal demand to him: physical infidelity was tolerable, but emotional infidelity was not!

Qi Wukui agreed heartily, but then… he actually bought a villa in Peach Blossom Valley to keep a mistress.

Xu Leigang’s villa in Peach Blossom Valley was worth forty million three years ago, and the smaller villa Qi Wukui bought was still priced at thirty million less, showing he was indeed devoted to this woman.

That night, he was drinking and chatting with his mistress indoors, completely unaware that outside the window, on a corner of the air conditioner’s outdoor unit that the camera couldn’t reach, a butterfly had landed.

Hua Hua had followed his car over and then encountered the paradox of choice–there were too many Gu Insects to choose from; what to do?

But as it listened, its eyes lit up: this man was worried about his wife discovering his presence here, right?

In that case, the choice became much easier. So, it lifted one of its front legs and gently tapped on the window.

The tapping rhythm was irregular, and soon it caught the attention of the people inside.

Hua Hua was quite experienced in such matters, simply waiting for the other party to come and check.
