Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

18.2 billion! The health attribute stones that Hong Dali came up with this time actually sold for as much as 18.2 billion!

This was definitely a miracle!

Even Liu Yihui and Mu Tie who were chatting beside him were both stunned upon hearing this figure!

This… wasn’t this a bit too much? It was true that health stones were precious, but selling for as much as 18.2 billion in total…

“Let’s go to another spot to talk about this!” Hong Weiguo pulled Gong Zhiwen along with him, while Liu Yihui and Mu Tie hurriedly followed. After they entered an empty room, Hong Weiguo exclaimed, “Little Gong, how much did you say just now? 18.2 billion!?”

“Yes, that’s right!” Gong Zhiwen was so excited that he was shaking. “I never expected that we would earn so much, too! 18.2 billion! Director Hong, just the sale this time alone has earned us so much, this is even easier than robbing a bank!”

He was indeed very excited! The sale this time made them 18.2 billion, then next time…

“Don’t be so agitated yet. Tell me first, how did you manage to sell for so much money?” Hong Weiguo was more composed, he wasn’t as excited as Gong Zhiwen and instead asked, “According to our original plan, I expected to earn about two billion or so. After all, 50 million isn’t a small figure, only those inner members who’re unhealthy would buy it. But how did you manage to sell so much?”

Actually, according to their original plan, they could sell at most 30 to 40 health stones, to a maximum of 50. Although 50 million wasn’t a large figure to those inner members, it wasn’t a small figure, either. There would be demand for the stones, but definitely not as much as one piece per person—not everyone had cancer, after all.

“Ah, it’s like this.” Upon hearing this question, Gong Zhiwen instantly smiled and said, “I was surprised at first as well, but after I secretly asked a few close friends, I found out the reason.

“Although these stones are precious, it isn’t very meaningful to healthy people. But the thing is, they can give them away to other people. Plus the fact I lied to them that those stones were all I had, so they basically bought one each. Simply put, just one of these each and their entire family would not need to go to a hospital again in the future. Also, in times of crisis, they could even use the stones to save lives.”

Upon hearing Gong Zhiwen’s words, Hong Weiguo slowly nodded.

He forgot about the fact that just because a person bought the stone, it didn’t mean that only one person could use it. If they didn’t need it, they could let their parents, children, or spouses use it; basically, whoever wasn’t healthy could use it.

Spending just 50 million to buy the health of an entire family, for these rich people, this was much more worth than treating their illness in the hospital—at least these stones didn’t cause discomfort or cause them concern. Also, even if no one was ill, they could use it to ensure their health…

After all, who could guarantee they would never fall ill? The more wealthy a person was, the more he was afraid of dying. There was no doubt about that.

“So that’s the case.” Hong Weiguo pondered for a while and asked, “Little Gong, how much raw material is needed to make one such stone?”

Gong Zhiwen said, “I have asked the workers to calculate carefully about this. Speaking of this, it’s quite amazing. A raw jade weighing two kilograms and so can produce one such health stone. The end product has this effect, but the residue jades are just normal jades. Also, products made from raw jades weighing less than two kilograms don’t have this effect. This is really weird.”

“Two kilograms… How much did that ice-type jade weight?” Hong Weiguo asked again.

“It weighed around 1.4 tons, 1,400 kg. According to the calculation, for two kilograms to make one product, we can make about 650 of it.” Gong Zhiwen treated this piece of ice-type jade like a treasure. “If we use it carefully, I predict that we can produce almost 700 of it.”

“Don’t make so many!” Unexpectedly, Hong Weiguo resolutely shook his head and said, “Things are only precious when they are rare. We sold so many this time because we needed their support, so we had no choice. But if we continue to sell them next time, these health stones will become valueless, and its influence will definitely decrease greatly. Little Gong, save the remaining ice-type jade as a strategic resource and announce to the outside that we don’t have any more of it. If they want, they need to wait, or buy it from those who already have it for a big price!”

Hong Weiguo’s words were very resolute. Liu Yihui and Mu Tie violently nodded their heads in agreement. Gong Zhiwen very quickly understood his intention and hurriedly said, “I understand. Director Hong Weiguo, I shall go and make a call to tell them to seal up the remaining jades that have these types of amazing effects. Unless we need them next time, no one shall be able to touch them!”

“Yup, go now. Come back after you make the call, we shall discuss our next step of action.” Hong Weiguo nodded in approval.

A total of 364 of these health stones were circulated into the market now, this was already beyond his expectation. If they didn’t control the outflow and sell as much as they could, the effect of using these health stones to gain support from others next time wouldn’t be so effective anymore. Therefore, what they needed to do now was to control the market!

“Director Hong, I have informed the factory.” Very quickly, Gong Zhiwen made the call and came back. “They have stopped processing more of the health stones. Director Hong, as for the money we made from selling these stones…”

Speaking up to this point, Gong Zhiwen’s eyes were full of anticipation.

That was an entire 18.2 billion yuan, not 1.8 billion yuan. As for this money, Gong Zhiwen naturally didn’t dare to ask for as much as half of it. In fact, he felt that receiving 5% of it was already not bad. After all, he practically didn’t invest a single cent. The cost for stone-gambling was paid by Hong Dali, and he also wasn’t the one who got the uncut stones. He was basically only in charge of the process—his investment in it was practically negligible.

“Hehe, you naturally have a share of this money.” Hong Weiguo touched his chin and said, “I shall give you 20% and keep the rest as capital, what do you think?”

20% didn’t sound like a lot, but considering the base sum…

“Huh!?” Gong Zhiwen was stunned. He was obviously dazed for a while, and then frantically shook his head. “No, Director Hong, I don’t deserve so much. I only put in a bit of physical strength this time and didn’t invest any money in it. In fact, if I didn’t choose to stand on your side at the start, no one knows what my outcome would be! Director Hong, I shall just take 5%, that’s more than enough for me.”

“Haha.” Hong Weiguo, Liu Yihui, and Mu Tie shared a look and all laughed out loud. Hong Weiguo said, “Let’s make it 10%, then. You spent quite a lot of effort this time, you can’t get less than 10%. If not, I will treat it as you looking down on me.”

“O… OK…” Gong Zhiwen was so excited that tears trailed down his face.

Indeed, following Young Master Dali was the right move! Just making a trip outside and I earned a profit of 1.8 billion!

I have decided. From now on, if Young Master Dali asks me to go East, I will definitely not go West. If he asks me to catch dogs, I will definitely not catch chicken!

After settling this issue, the four of them sat down around the tea table. Liu Yihui smiled and said, “Hahaha, Weiguo, we fought a beautiful battle this time.” Saying so, he knocked his wine glass with Hong Weiguo’s and said, “I still keep thinking of Qian Guangzhao’s expression when he was kicked out, that was really interesting.”

Mu Tie also smiled and said, “Exactly. I reckon he wasn’t in the least prepared at all, haha. This battle was fought beautifully, next is the encirclement of the Chamber of Commerce. Practically all of the inner members came to the party today, they will all be providing us with resources from now on. Next time if we need to collaborate for something, we will be much stronger than before. Oh right, what do you plan to do with the money from selling the health stones?”

“This child Dali, I am really amazed by him now.” Hong Weiguo smiled and shook his head. “I didn’t expect him to cause such a big scene this time. Hm, now that we have this liquid capital of 16 plus billion, why not do something big!”

Hong Weiguo wanted to do something big! Indeed, both father and son were not simple. A tiger didn’t give birth to a dog!

Gong Zhiwen could only express his worship for them now…

“Yup, I agree!” Liu Yihui nodded and said, “What are your plans?”

Hong Weiguo looked at the other three and said, “Qian Guangzhao is out of the Chamber of Commerce now—given his character, he will definitely make some preparations. But he wouldn’t be trying to try anything with his company. I reckon he will be using his family’s influence and resources to negotiate with the Nation. We don’t need to bother about what conditions he will make, what we need to do now is to make a move on his company!”

“Correct!” Upon hearing Hong Weiguo’s words, Mu Tie’s eyes shone. “His company! Qian Family Energy Group Co., Ltd! When he’s being encircled by the Chamber of Commerce, his company will definitely become unstable, too. We shall think of a plan to do something about it! All of the members of the Chamber of Commerce are on our side now, once we let out news of this fact, his company’s shares price will definitely plunge, hehe!”

“Let’s do that!” Liu Yihui slapped his thigh and said, “Old Tie, Little Gong, let’s gather all of our capital. Qian Family Energy Group Co., Ltd. is a large cake! If we can really swallow it, we wouldn’t be talking about just a few billion or tens of billions anymore!”

“That’s the way we shall do it!” Hong Weiguo violently slapped the table. “Out of the money from selling the heath stones, I shall transfer three billion to Dali for him to squander. Although I am not sure what he will use it for, it should be useful.”

“That’s right!” Liu Yihui nodded. “If Dali has money, whatever he does will definitely be a surprise for us.”

“Correct!” Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “As for the rest, let’s use it to play with Qian Guangzhao!”

“Sure, no problem!” Gong Zhiwen’s eyes shone. “I shall go back and prepare the capital now!”
