Li Jiamin stroked a piece of fiery red fox skin in her palm and praised it.
"This is the finest fur, which is very rare in China!"
The housekeeper said hurriedly, "This is a gift brought by Mr. Zhang. It is said to be a filial piety to my husband and my wife!"
As he spoke, he put everything in his hands on the low table next to him.
The gifts were almost the same as those given to the Chu couple. Most of them were furs, and the rest included a few antique screws and two wild ginsengs with beards and tails.
Although the things are not worth much, they are all high-quality products, which are relatively rare in China.
Rich people like the Jiang family are naturally well-informed and can immediately see the value of things.
Jiang Jinnan said with a sullen face, "Jiaqiang, just come here. You are spending money on nothing. When young people are starting their own business, don't be lavish!"
Li Jiamin also said, "I'll keep these things and sell them for you at the next auction. If you're lucky, I can get a lot of money back!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said hurriedly, "Don't, this is the intention of Xinxin and I. Just keep it. If you sell it, I won't be able to explain it to Xinxin when I go back!"
After hearing that it was their daughter's intention, the two of them smiled.
Jiang Jinnan said, "This kid is sensible. He didn't even buy me a popsicle in the Magic City in the past!"
Li Jiamin couldn't help but smile, "Look what you said, my daughter is so kind to you, I feel jealous just looking at her!"
After saying that, she sat next to Zhang Jiaqiang and asked softly.
"Jia Qiang, last time Xinxin called me to ask about the resources in the Screw Country. I remember talking about furs, ores and wood. Are these the things you mainly trade now?"
Zhang Jiaqiang knew that she had business to discuss during this meeting, so he immediately told the truth.
"The most important thing at the moment is to trade decommissioned ships with the military over there. Those are the trades with civilians. Auntie, what are you interested in? I can let them focus on it!"
Li Jiamin said, "We have a jewelry company that used to import gold and various gemstones from Heizhou. Now due to the war there, the channel is intermittent and very unstable!"
"I have learned before that there is no shortage of gold and gems in the Screw Country. Can you trade these? If you can, no matter how big the amount is, Auntie can eat it!"
"Of course, these furs and antiques are also very good now, especially the furs. They can be put on auction. Just send them as much as you have!"
One of Zhang Jiaqiang's goals in coming to the Magic City was to find a home for those furs. Otherwise, just having a bunch of goods in hand would quickly lead to problems with turnover.
As for gold and gems, Zhang Jiaqiang also fell into deep thought.
He had some of the gold on hand, which he got from killing the rich and giving to the poor several times.
It probably weighs about five tons, but he has no intention of getting rid of these, and wants to keep them as family heirlooms.
He didn't have any gems in his hand, but as far as he knew, there was a huge diamond mine in Screw Country, which had not yet been discovered.
If that place is captured in advance, the benefits brought by this mine in the future will be immeasurable. Even if it is given to the Screw Country, it will be a huge wealth.
There are also gold mines hidden by blackheads in Yinzhou and gold mines near Lata City in the Screw State, but they have not yet been revealed.
Zhang Jiaqiang decided to step up his efforts and get to the bottom of things as soon as possible.
After pondering for a moment, he poured a cup of tea for the couple, "I don't think these two problems can be solved in a short period of time, but I promise that after a month or two, we should be able to get some results. The most important thing in my hand right now is these furs." !”
He briefly introduced the Yinzhou gold mine. If it could be found, the gold could be supplied to the Jiang family's jewelry company.
He didn't speak directly about the diamond, but only revealed the information through channels.
Li Jiamin from the Yinzhou Gold Mine also heard about it and received Zhang Jiaqiang's guarantee today. She smiled happily.
"Then I will wait patiently for a few months. Winter is coming soon. These high-end furs will definitely sell for high prices. You might as well send them all over. I will arrange for the low-end ones to be processed by the manufacturer, and I can hold a special auction for the high-end ones!"
Zhang Jiaqiang was so happy that he immediately arranged for someone to supervise the transportation to the Magic City as soon as possible.
Li Jiamin asked Zhang Jiaqiang about his trip to Xiangjiang again, and casually wrote him two phone numbers and names.
"These two have been business partners with us for many years, and we have a very good relationship. You should also address us as elders, and pay a visit to us as a couple when you get there!"
Zhang Jiaqiang instantly understood that, on the surface, he was going to visit, but in fact, he was introducing his contacts there. If he had any problems in Xiangjiang, he could ask these two for help.
The Jiang family and his wife were really good to him. Zhang Jiaqiang was immediately grateful and thought that he must treat them better in the future.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Jinnan called the housekeeper to arrange dinner, and then asked Jiang Jixue to join the guests for dinner.
The housekeeper said, "The dishes have been arranged. Most of them are Shandong cuisine, as well as local dishes. Mr. Zhang is absolutely satisfied. As for the eldest young master, he just drove out. Why don't I give him a call?"
Jiang Jinnan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let him go and let the rest of us eat cleanly!"
Zhang Jiaqiang originally wanted to leave, but the Jiang family insisted on staying, so he had no choice but to do as he pleased.
The dinner was held on a large terrace next to the water. The entire terrace was stretched out several feet from the water, and the blue lake water could be seen from three sides. It made people feel as if they were on a boat, which had a unique flavor.
Needless to say, the food was several times more luxurious than what we had at Chu's house for lunch.
Zhang Jiaqiang excused himself from drinking while driving, but Jiang Jinnan asked the housekeeper to open a jar of 18-year-old daughter's red, poured a small glass of it himself and said.
"This wine is rare. Since you won't drink today, I'll have it loaded into the car for you and take it back to taste!"
Zhang Jiaqiang knew that he could not refuse, so he had to thank him repeatedly.
The Jiang family and his wife were more easygoing than the Chu family and were good at talking. What they talked about was eye-opening to Zhang Jiaqiang.
The meal was quite relaxed, and the two of them didn't bring up anything that would embarrass Zhang Jiaqiang. It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that the guests and the host had a good time.
The Jiang family couple personally sent him to the entrance of Shuixie, and then waved goodbye.
Watching his figure go away, the couple looked at each other.
Jiang Jinnan asked, "How do you feel?"
Li Jiamin nodded and said, "It's very reassuring. It doesn't look like a child of this age, let alone someone from the grassroots. Does he still have a hidden identity?"
Jiang Jinnan shook his head and said, "That's unknown. It's not easy for Zhang Mulu to choose him as his successor. I feel relieved!"
The couple held hands and walked slowly back to the waterside pavilion!
After Zhang Jiaqiang said goodbye, he followed the housekeeper and walked out. When passing by Jiang Jixue's den, the housekeeper said.
"Didn't Mr. Zhang make an appointment with the young master? Please go there by yourself. I won't send you off anymore. Someone will bring the car over when you leave!"
Zhang Jiaqiang couldn't help but be stunned. Before eating, he clearly said that Jiang Jixue was driving out, so why did he let him go?
He couldn't help but look at this mysterious butler with doubts!
