Chapter 372: A Phone Call

So, Shi Zhong said about the diamonds in his space ring, of course, the excuse was obtained by accident, and Andrew knew it.

"Is there any place where the cutting method is used for manipulation?" Andrew Road.

"I don't know about this, but the estimated amount is a bit large, a lot!" Shi Zhongdao, where can he tell what kind of global cut or what special means of cutting, he only knows, it is a real diamond, uh, of course, everyone knows.

"That's it, I still have a lot of follow-up things to deal with in South Africa, I can't get out, I asked my person in charge in Deep Sea City to bring things back, you can't trust me, right?" Andrew half-jokingly.

"I don't trust you, will this kind of thing be told to you?" Shi Zhong said with a smile.

"Okay, you wait for my call, within an hour, you're in Deep Sea City, right?" Andrew Road.

"Well, I'll go to your company by myself later, and let him wait for me there!"

Hung up the phone, Shi Zhong looked at his watch, it was half past two in the afternoon, it seemed that he could only go back to Hangzhou City in the evening, and he should also put the cultivation on the itinerary, not to mention the cultivation of Buddhism, just say the Tao, it is not a thing to hang like this, go out for a walk by yourself, maybe it is really as Brother Yichenzi said, there is a qualitative transformation in the cultivation, the so-called Taoism is no longer a vase, beautiful but not practical, and, with the improvement of the realm of cultivation, its allure to itself is also constantly improving, it is no less than the charm of money, Now if Shi Zhong breaks off the idea of cultivating, it is estimated that he will be very unwilling. I want to see if I can step into the so-called Dao fetal period and absorb the essence of heaven and earth to refine my body. Shi Zhong didn't dare to imagine that this was true, if that was the case, what was the difference between it and the immortals. The body can constantly replenish the aura of heaven and earth, isn't it immortal?

Shi Zhong was very puzzled.

"Brother Shi?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Shi Zhong's contemplation, and when he looked up, he saw a Hyundai Elantra parked in front of him, and Zhang Xu was opening the door and getting down.

"Brother Zhang, is it such a coincidence?" Shi Zhong smiled and greeted him.

"Not really!" Zhang Xu smiled, but Shi Zhong didn't think he had a sad face in his smile, and there was a word written on his whole face. Decline.

"Come and smoke a cigarette, how do you get it, look haggard?" Shi Zhong took out a cigarette he had never smoked and handed it over.

Zhang Xu took the cigarette, picked his face hard, and said, "Is there one?" Then he muttered to himself, "I'll see my parents later." Looking up at Shi Zhong, "Business is not good now. And there are scams everywhere, alas! ”

"What, are you still bothered by the shipment in San Francisco, USA?" Shi Zhong asked with a smile, when he met Zhang Xu on the plane, he was doing foreign trade. There was a problem with a batch of goods from the United States, and I personally went to communicate and solve it.

"That thing is an old thing, where would the Yankees care about a small company like us, I disposed of the goods and lost a little money, but this time it was a big game, if it was not handled well, at least more than 300,000 yuan would be lost, then I would have worked in vain in the past two years, and the company had to return to its original form!" Zhang Xu sighed.

"Got cheated out of money?" Shi Zhong asked.

"Alas, it's also to blame me for being too anxious for quick success and quick profit, eager to expand the company's business, you know, now the economic situation, foreign trade is not easy to do, I just think about finding some other way to make money."

Zhang Xu told the story, it turned out that half a month ago, one of his partners in the business contacted him, saying that there was a list of funds needed, three people partnered, Zhang Xu also went to investigate, in addition to the partner, the third person Zhang Laosan is indeed very powerful, he is doing bonsai and landscape tree business, and his assets are also millions, but most of them are those precious trees planted in the mountains, and the cash can't be taken out so much.

Three people, one person out of more than 300,000, together with 1 million, is still doing the business of landscape trees, it turned out that Zhang Laosan took over a project of urban expansion, which required a large number of landscape trees, and he contracted it alone. …,

But I didn't expect that after Zhang Xu sent the money over, there was a fire on the mountain of Zhang Laosan, this fire was terrible, and all the landscape trees in the mountain behind him were scorched, except for a few old ones, all of them died, at that time Zhang Xu was like withdrawing shares, but that Zhang Laosan insisted that this investment would definitely make a lot of money, and he would bite it, yes, he would let it go, and he lost millions without crying to death It was already very strong, of course, we had to count on the millions of funds to regroup, but I didn't expect that the house leak happened to rain overnight, The next day, news came that the news of the expansion of the city was yet to be confirmed.

When Zhang Xu asked Zhang Laosan where he knew about the expansion of the urban area, he said that he knew it from a very powerful director, that is, the director of the urban construction bureau, of course, he could indeed be called so before being shuanggui, at this time, it was too late for Zhang Xu to withdraw his investment, and one million had become a landscape tree, some big and some small, and the decoration was very beautiful, but it just couldn't get back the money.

At the end, Zhang Xu said: "Now that my company's funds cannot be recovered, the basic normal operation is a problem, and I have plans to sell this car." ”

Your car isn't worth a lot of money if it's sold!

Shi Zhong wanted to joke like this, but when he thought that people were in a bad mood now, he didn't say it, but he was a little sensitive to the news revealed in Zhang Xu's mouth: "You said that Zhang Laosan's back mountain has a lot of old trees, and they are all very old?" How do you know? ”

"At that time, Zhang Laosan boasted to me, saying that the most valuable thing is these trees, but those trees are really big, there are a few or even three people can hug each other, and they are not ordinary trees, although they are not rare, but they are also rare!" Zhang Xu said.

"Did Zhang Laosan say that how many of those trees are more than 100 years old?" Shi Zhong asked excitedly.

"I think I said it, I don't remember, but in my opinion, more than a hundred years is absolute, let's just say that cinnamon, so thick, not a hundred years can not grow that size, the open unkempt head extends for several meters." Zhang Xu said as if recalling.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, do you have the contact information of that Zhang Laosan?" Shi Zhong asked, glancing at Zhang Xu with a suspicious expression. Shi Zhong continued, "Well, you wait for me to make a call." ”

said. walked to the side and dialed Chu Liang's mobile phone, and it was Secretary Li Gang who answered the phone. "Hey, hello Mr. Shi!" Li Gang didn't dare to get too close to Shi Zhong, and he didn't say anything stammering, but he maintained full respect.

"Oh, Li Mi, is Mayor Chu here?" Shi Zhongdao suffocated the original Brother Chu back, and he had to pay attention to the impact.

"Mayor Chu is now holding an emergency meeting. If you want to contact him, it is estimated that "Li Gang is embarrassed, since he became the second secretary of Zhouhang City, he has never been so careful to accompany others to speak, and it has always been others who have been flattering him, and he is also the personal secretary of the mayor." Even if the head of some city bureaus sees it, they must be polite and give three points.

"Well, how long will it take him to finish the meeting?" Shi Zhong asked.

"I don't know if I don't know if I help you keep an eye on it, and I'll help you deliver the message as soon as Mayor Chu comes out?" Li Gang said cautiously.

"No need, by the way, Li Mi, let me ask you something!" Stone Bell Road.

"You say!" Li Gang said.

"I heard that the administrative center of Lingshui District is going to move west, is it true?" Shi Zhong asked.

"There's such a thing. The resolution passed in the city a month ago, what? Mr. Shi is interested in this? Li Gang asked, he had sniffed something out of his ups and downs in officialdom for many years.

"Oh, I'm fine, it's just a friend of mine, who originally contracted the construction of the landscape tree, but didn't you dismiss a director of the urban construction bureau a while ago? And then his business was in ruins! Shi Zhongdao.

"Your friend's formalities were handled through normal channels, right?" Li Gang asked this question, in fact, he tacitly knew in his heart that the project that would be stopped because of the dismissal of the director of the urban construction bureau knew at a glance that it was originally a cat, but Li Gang didn't mind giving this Mr. Shi a favor, and he could call the mayor a brother, to be honest, the flatterers were all in a hurry. …,

"That's not good, or I'll find out about the situation again, I don't know the specifics!" Shi Zhong said with some "hesitation".

"Look at what Mr. Shi said, so let's say hello to the Lingshui District Urban Construction Bureau immediately, and they all came in accordance with the regular procedures." Li Gang clapped his hands and said, Shi Zhong said a few words with a smile, and then hung up, but he didn't feel anything, but Li Gang was very excited, and hurriedly used the landline to make a call, the mayor's brother's matter, where will it not be solved quickly.

Shi Zhong walked back to Zhang Xu's side and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, in this way, how about you accompany me to Zhouhang City?" Maybe there is a turnaround in your investment! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xu opened his mouth wide, a little surprised, knowing that Shi Zhong had some energy, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress the underworld dragon leader Longsheng in Shenhai City, but he didn't expect that the energy was so big, and he couldn't solve the problem of begging grandpa and grandma with a phone call. He could hear Shi Zhong's words, the so-called turning point, it must be not far from ten.

"Brother Shi, what do you want me to say, this time really, I really thank you so much, let's leave now?" Zhang Xu was a little incoherent.

"Your family is still inside, do you want to go in and talk about it?" Shi Zhong prompted.

"Oh yes, yes, you wait for me for a while, I'll come out right away, go in and say hello and come out!" Zhang Xu trotted in, and after two minutes, sure enough, it was a while, Zhang Xu ran over a little out of breath, "Brother Shi, your car?" ”

"I didn't drive here, I'm going to rub your car again!" Shi Zhong said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, you've done me such a big favor, I"

"Brother Zhang, when I'm a friend, don't mention these things, who doesn't have a little difficulty!" Stone bell swing hand.

"Hehe, too." Zhang Xu smiled, but this is not a small difficulty, he can see that Shi Zhong does not have that kind of arrogance, he is really making friends with himself, which also makes him feel even more rare, now in this society, if you want to make one or two sincere friends, it is tantamount to winter thunder and summer rain and snow.

Ji Pinglang, who was pulling Mu there, got into the car, and when Elantra drove away, a girl drove out of the door of the hotel and pouted: "Brother is really, they all said that it was a reunion dinner, and they wouldn't introduce him to the object, and they ran so fast, did they leak the news?" As he spoke, his eyes saw a woman walking on the opposite side, and beckoned and shouted: "Qianqian, Qianqian, here, I'm really sorry, my brother has something to do temporarily, and he can't come, but don't worry, when he is free, I will let him contact you, you are all old classmates for so many years, and it is not right for him to invite you to a meal."
