Chapter 751 - 359: Having a Bigshot Brother-in-Law Is Just Too Awesome!
Jiang Tao wasn't short of money now.
The income he got every day just from all kinds of special items and investments was already a number ordinary people would find hard to believe.
On top of that, he also had this bug-level wealth-growth cheat called [Monopoly Dice] that could double his daily earnings.
Making money, for Jiang Tao, no longer held any challenge.
These days he rarely put in much effort purely for the sake of making money.
He actually didn't care much about the profits from the [Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill].
The only reason he went for "hunger marketing" and set the price at ten thousand a pill,
was purely to highlight how precious and scarce it was!
Only then would people feel they owed you a favor.
If you sold it at the original price of 88 a pill and gave as many as they wanted,
they'd just treat you as a "personal shopper."
Not like now, where they saw Jiang Tao as an "important friend."
Jiang Tao had just hung up on his call with Old Du when Xu Li video-called again.
"Hubby, today I went for a health checkup with Mom and Auntie, and we ran into something super funny…"
On video, Xu Li giggled as she shared the funny incident she'd run into today.
The couple chatted idly for over half an hour before Jia Guolin came back from refueling.
"Love you, hubby. Finish up over there soon and come back early~"
On camera, Xu Li blew Jiang Tao a flying kiss, then reluctantly hung up.
Call ended.
Jiang Tao opened WeChat, found Xu Li, and directly sent over a huge transfer of 5,201,314 with no punctuation in between!
[Hubby, what's today? Give me a hint? (surprised/）]
Xu Li didn't accept the transfer right away; instead she sent a little surprised emoji.
Jiang Tao typed back: [Every day that I love you is an anniversary.]
The old married couple flirted for a bit longer, and in the end Xu Li stopped being polite and just accepted the transfer.
Anyway, in her mind, what was hers was Jiang Tao's; it made no difference whose account the money was in!
"Let's go, Old Jia, take me over to Fudi Cemetery."
After finishing his little interaction with Xu Li, Jiang Tao headed out and called to Jia Guolin, who'd been waiting in the courtyard, to leave with him.
At exactly 11 a.m., the Mercedes G-Class slowly drove in through the gate of Fudi Cemetery.
The cemetery's office was in Ping County; on site here there was only an old guard on duty.
The Mercedes G drove straight in without any obstruction.
Jiang Tao told Jia Guolin to wait for him in the parking lot at the foot of the hill.
He went alone to the coordinates indicated by the system.
[The target item is 37 meters underground at this location. Spend 6,666 yuan to retrieve it immediately?]
"Yes!"
Jiang Tao didn't hesitate at all about spending money to get things done.
Compared to its value, this little expense wasn't even worth mentioning.
He had zero interest in digging a pit dozens of meters deep by himself here.
Besides, even if he wanted to, the cemetery management would have to agree first.
[Deduction successful. Capturing target item, please wait.]
[Target item captured successfully!]
Seeing the prompt on his retinal display, Jiang Tao focused and opened the system's storage space.
Sure enough, a copper coin had appeared in his Item List, all the dirt and such completely cleaned off.
This copper coin was much larger than those everyday small inner-square, outer-round copper coins, and it was solid.
On the front were the traditional characters "Daqing Copper Coin," along with the minting bureau and the denomination.
On the back was an exquisitely carved giant dragon.
"This thing is worth 1.2 million?"
Even though Jiang Tao had sold quite a few things through Zhang Bo, he was still a newbie in the antiques trade.
But with the system's valuation as a reference, he wasn't afraid of being ripped off.
Besides, Jiang Tao trusted this younger buddy Zhang Bo a lot.
Their trust had been built up through multiple previous deals.
"A 12-million meteorite plus this 1.2-million copper coin—this trip back home is quite the haul."
"Time to head back to Beijing."
After closing the system interface with a thought, Jiang Tao turned and walked back down the mountain toward the parking lot.
All the objectives for this trip back home had been completed.
On top of that, before leaving Beijing he'd also set up a meal with Xiang Huabin.
You don't stand up a big shot's dinner invitation.
"And then there's buying gold…"
"This round of gains should net me another ten, twenty million."
"It's not a lot, but money just sitting idle in the account is still idle. Better to put it to work if I can."
Thinking of the intel about the gold rally in the first message he'd seen today,
Jiang Tao took out his phone, found Fang Qi's number, and dialed.
Xu Li's cousin really did handle things reliably.
At the same time.
In Beijing, inside the VIP reception room of the wealth management department at the Huilongguan Industrial Bank sub-branch.
"Thank you, President Chen, for your strong support of our work."
Fang Qi smiled and reached out to shake hands with the man opposite her, who was in a black suit and looked to be in his thirties.
"Hahaha, Manager Fang, you're too polite. President Zhang and I are good friends; if I've got any wealth management needs, of course I'll come to you."
The man laughed as he shook Fang Qi's hand, the smile on his face looking very sincere.
After a few more pleasantries, Fang Qi saw him out with a smile.
"Good morning, Manager Fang."
"Hello, Manager Fang."
"Manager Fang..."
As Fang Qi walked back toward her department after sending off the client, every colleague she passed greeted her respectfully.
Their eyes were full of envy when they looked at her.
Just over ten days ago, Fang Qi had still been an unknown lobby manager at the bank, doing the kind of job where she had to greet people with a smile all day long.
She had been in the wealth management department for less than a month, and with the help of Jiang Tao, her cousin's husband, and her boyfriend Zhang Chao, she'd easily hit her performance targets.
