"Boss, we've arrived. ”

Tao Zhuoran was in charge of driving, and it had been half a day since they set off.

Zhang Liang has been very busy these days, so busy that he doesn't even have much time to rest, so he slept a little on the road.

"Let's find a hotel first, and we'll discuss what to do. ”

Zhang Liang pulled the curtains of the car window and took a look at the bustling city outside.

Although the scene is very unfamiliar, it is as prosperous as the Jiangcheng city he came from, and it is also a big city.

"Good. ”

Tao Zhuoran nodded, and then drove Zhang Liang to a star-rated hotel.

Tao Zhuoran was originally from Yuzhou City, and he would come back for a while every year, and he grew up here since he was a child, so he was naturally very familiar with this place.

After Tao Zhuoran parked the car in the parking lot of a five-star hotel and opened the suite, Zhang Liang told Tao Zhuoran about his plan.

"Before that incident, you stayed in Yuzhou City to work?"

Zhang Liang just asked casually, but he didn't expect Tao Zhuoran to be a little vague.

"Huh?"

Tao Zhuoran thought that Zhang Liang was going to tell him about his plan, but he didn't expect to start asking about his past first?

"It's nothing, it's just doing odd jobs, going to work honestly and so on. ”

Tao Zhuoran shook his head, looked at Zhang Liang and said.

Zhang Liang frowned slightly, Tao Zhuoran had a strong work ability, and said that he was just doing odd jobs......

How could Zhang Liang not believe it, so it seems that this kid is hiding some secrets?

However, Zhang Liang didn't say much, everyone has their own secrets, and Zhang Liang doesn't need to break the casserole to ask the end.

"Have you ever been in contact with the jade industry?"

Zhang Liang asked again.

According to the previous investigation, those poisonous powders came from the industrial park of Yuzhou City, but he has no specific clues yet.

So he wanted to ask if Tao Zhuoran had any experience of contact with jade, and if he could help, it would naturally be a good thing.

"This ...... Yes. ”

Tao Zhuoran recovered from the tension just now and said hesitantly.

Zhang Liang glanced at Tao Zhuoran deeply, and then asked, "Then you should have a jade factory here, right?"

However, when Tao Zhuoran heard this, he shook his head.

"I used to be a small businessman, but I know the companies that produce jade, otherwise I would have been here now. ”

Tao Zhuoran scratched his head, looked at Zhang Liang and replied.

Zhang Liang thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Let's go, let's go to a big company first and ask, you have some foundation for jade, right?"

Zhang Liang asked again.

"I don't know anything, I can only say that I have some foundation. ”

Tao Zhuoran answered truthfully, Zhang Liang nodded, and then asked him to go out together.

The two first went to a jade jewelry store, but the clerks here didn't know much about the jade industry, they were only responsible for sales, and even the manager only managed the affairs of the store.

But what Zhang Liang is looking for is not a sales channel, what he is looking for is news about jade production.

"Forget it, I don't think I can ask anything here, let's change to the next one. ”

Zhang Liang thought about it, he knew that there were basically no other clues here, so he left here with Tao Zhuoran.

After going out, Tao Zhuoran originally planned to take Zhang Liang to another jade company to ask, but after thinking about it, he still gave Zhang Liang a suggestion.

"Boss, in fact, I think this kind of company that opens a store will be wary of people in the jade industry in general, and we can't ask anything. ”

Tao Zhuoran looked in the rearview mirror, and Zhang Liang looked out the window and thought seriously.

Zhang Liang snorted, turned his head after a while, and said, "I pretended to be a practitioner in the jade industry to get the information behind it. ”

"I know, but we don't have a channel right now, and it's a waste of time to keep looking. ”

Tao Zhuoran vigorously denied Zhang Liang, but without saying what he thought, Zhang Liang guessed that he was actually hesitating.

"Say whatever you have in mind, don't worry. ”

Zhang Liang thought that Tao Zhuoran was worried that he would say the wrong thing or something, but in fact, this Tao Zhuoran had a deeper secret.

After hesitating, Tao Zhuoran still said to Zhang Liang: "That's the case, I know that there is a big jade exchange in Yuzhou City, and basically the bosses or companies in the city will look for business opportunities in it. ”

"So I thought, we should go there and have a look. ”

Tao Zhuoran's face was a little nervous after he finished speaking, and he didn't know what he was nervous about.

Zhang Liang squinted his eyes, of course he found that Tao Zhuoran was wrong, but he didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's go check it out, maybe we can find a clue, and we won't have to stay here any longer. ”

When Zhang Liang said this, he was also observing Tao Zhuoran's face.

He found that when he said the first half of the sentence, Tao Zhuoran was both nervous and happy, but when Zhang Liang finished the second half of the sentence, Tao Zhuoran actually had a sense of relief and relaxation.

"Okay, then I'll take you there. ”

Tao Zhuoran stabilized his mind, then changed his destination and headed for the Jade Exchange.

Zhang Liang had some guesses about Tao Zhuoran's secret, but he still didn't break it, after all, Tao Zhuoran would naturally say it if he wanted to, and he didn't want to harm Zhang Liang.

Tao Zhuoran drove for about half an hour and parked the car in front of a building that looked very magnificent.

After Zhang Liang got out of the car, he saw a few big words on it: Yuzhou Jade Exchange.

Zhang Liang knew from the scale of this place that it should be a landmark building, and the surrounding industries were all built according to the needs of this place.

"You've been here before?"

Before Zhang Liang went in, he suddenly remembered this question.

When Tao Zhuoran heard Zhang Liang ask, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, I almost came here before, but in the end I never went in." ”

Tao Zhuoran shook his head, as if he didn't want to talk too much about this issue.

Zhang Liang shrugged his shoulders, he just wanted to ask Tao Zhuoran if he had been here, and when the time came, they wouldn't be headless flies looking around.

But after Zhang Liang went in, he knew that he was too worried.

There are strict security measures here, and there are signs and area lights, as long as you go in and follow the prompts, you can find the place you want to find.

"Let's go to the jade buying side. ”

Zhang Liang pointed to an area directly ahead, and it would be great if he could find a clue to the processing factory from it.

Of course, Tao Zhuoran would not have any objections, and followed Zhang Liang over.

"Yo, brother, what do you want to see?"

Soon, an enthusiastic boss stopped Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang also stopped his pace and looked casually on the display case.

Zhang Liang's five senses are very strong, and he can see at a glance that any jade has flaws.

And it was with this ability that he was able to remember the ingredients of those poison powders before, and now he only needs to see them at a glance to be able to recognize them.

Zhang Liang looked and looked at the display case, but finally shook his head and left.

There was nothing he was looking for, no clues he was looking for.

No matter how the boss shouted in the back, Zhang Liang left without looking back, and went to the next showcase.

"Boss, most of the jade here comes from the same origin, so if you look for it like this, you won't find any clues. ”

Tao Zhuoran spoke again at this time, but this was not something he knew in advance, but he went out for a visit and investigated.

And Zhang Liang also discovered this problem at this time, and he took a closer look, and sure enough, these jade stones were all from the same origin.

"We are looking for a jade processing plant, but also a factory for further refining of the scrap......"

Zhang Liang touched his chin, and he glanced inside the huge jade exchange.

"Forget it, let it be. ”

Zhang Liang shook his head, in such a big place, if he wanted to find a clue at once, I am afraid it is unlikely.

He just calmed down and pretended that he was here to study the jade industry, so that he might really be able to meet some bosses.

Only by finding the people at the top can we see a wider world.

Zhang Liang went to the trading area on the side, which was where some jade merchants and OEM factories sought cooperation.

"We split up and called if we had a clue. ”

Zhang Liang explained to Tao Zhuoran again, and asked Tao Zhuoran to find clues by himself.

Tao Zhuoran naturally nodded in agreement, and then left Zhang Liang and went to the side to pretend to look for cooperation, but in fact he went to investigate the clues.

And Zhang Liang went back and forth among this group of jade merchants, pretending to be a jade tycoon from other places, wanting to enter the local market.

However, Zhang Liang's accosting with these people was not successful, because these people were originally local forces, and as a result, there were foreign forces who wanted to intervene, of course they had to keep the price to the minimum, otherwise why would they let Zhang Liang get a piece of the pie?

After Zhang Liang talked for a while to no avail, he could only helplessly go to the side to sit and rest, if this was on his territory, I am afraid that someone would bring the clues over in a few words.

But there is no way, who told him that he is now in the field, not to mention that he is not familiar with the place, the key is that the jade merchants here are all the same black, and Zhang Liang can't look at any of them.

After a while, Zhang Liang's mobile phone rang.

Zhang Liang originally thought it was his company's business, but it turned out that it was Tao Zhuoran calling.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Liang stood up and looked around, but he didn't see Tao Zhuoran's figure.

"Boss, I'm on the west side and it's a bit of a situation. ”

Tao Zhuoran's tone was a little nervous, and there were people around him shouting and scolding, Zhang Liang knew that he must have caused trouble, so he hurriedly rushed to the other end.

When Zhang Liang passed, he found that Tao Zhuoran was surrounded by a group of people in suits and leather shoes.

Behind him was a little girl, who looked to be in her early twenties.

"There is a problem with your contract, and there is also a problem with the jade sample, why force her to sign the contract?"

Tao Zhuoran confronted these people calmly, but on the contrary, these people were like dogs jumping off the wall, screaming and scolding one by one.

And that little girl was stopped behind by Tao Zhuoran to protect her.

When Zhang Liang saw this scene, he also felt Tao Zhuoran's burst sense of justice.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Liang stepped forward and stood with Tao Zhuoran.

"Boss ......"

Tao Zhuoran lowered his head, as if he had done something wrong.

Zhang Liang gave him a look and signaled him not to be nervous.
