Chapter 21 Wind-occupying Bell (2)

“Gang Zi, you little brat. If you don’t kill your uncle, you’ll feel uncomfortable all over, right?”

Jing Shizhen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Zheng Dagang and said, “I bought this for a million Yuan. I have to spend money on food, accommodation, and air tickets, right? Also, I can’t not make money from doing business, right?”

“Uncle Jing, we’ll go with your price. If the buyer doesn’t want it, I’ll take it!”

Su Xiaofan knew that Jing Shizhen was right. He had already given them a big discount of 600,000 Yuan, and judging from the rarity of the Dharma artifacts, they should be very popular.

“Little Su is more sensible than you.”

Jing Shizhen thought for a moment and said, “If you two have nothing to do, you can stay in the shop. You can see how much we’ve traded. It’ll save Gang Zi the trouble of saying that I’ve tricked him.’ “How could I, Uncle? I believe you.”

Zheng Dagang chuckled and said, “You also know that it’s already a big deal if I can sell it for 10,000 or 8,000. Today, thanks to you, Uncle, I’ve also seen a business that’s worth millions.”

“I just don’t like talking to you.

Jing Shizhen glanced at Zheng Dagang. “Be smart later, see more and talk less. Learn more and I’ll be able to trust you to manage the Jingxin Hall in Luochuan.”

Although she was scolding Zheng Dagang, Jing Shizhen still loved this nephew of hers very much. She had wanted to bring him into the industry a long time ago, but this little rascal just liked to hang around in the market. Now that he was older, it should make sense.

Although Jing Shizhen’s business was quite big, he was now facing the problem of the inheritance.

Jing Shizhen did have a son, but he wasn’t interested in the antique business. He was now a lawyer in Xinjiang. His grandson was still young, so he couldn’t be counted on. Therefore, Jing Shizhen wanted to find a successor.

“Alright, I’ll listen to Uncle.”

Zheng Dagang knew what was good for him. He knew that his previous level was too low. Today, when he came and saw uncle Yuan lighting the reverse flow incense and drinking tea, he felt that his days were not bad.

In front of Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang, Jing Shizhen made a phone call. The other party should be free and promised to come to the shop in a while.

Uncle Jing was very influential, so they only drank two cups of tea. After about half an hour, Jing Shizhen’s buyer walked into Jingxin Hall. Two people came in. The old man walking in front was very tall. Although his hair was white, he was over 70 years old, but he took good care of himself. He had a strong aura. One look and you could tell that he was the kind of person who had been in a high position for a long time.

Behind the old man was a young girl who looked about the same age as Su Xiaoxiao. She was slightly shorter than Su Xiaoxiao, about 1.68 meters. She was wearing sportswear, had short hair, and a baby face. She looked very cute.

“Chairman Zhao?” Seeing the person, Zheng Dagang, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up.

“Who’s Chairman Zhao?”

Su Xiaofan stood up as well, but he didn’t know the old man, so he asked Zheng Dagang in a low voice.

“The chairman of Luochuan Real Estate.”

Zheng Dagang said in a low voice. At this time, Jing Shizhen had already gone up to greet the old man.

“My house was developed by his company. Half of Luochuan’s real estate is his…” Zheng Dagang whispered to Su Xiaofan.

This old man was called Zhao Hengjian. He was also a legendary figure. In the 1980s, he started his small business from scratch. In the early 1990s, Russia disintegrated, and he became an international tycoon, accumulating capital. In the mid to late 1990s, Zhao Hengjian began to develop real estate, gradually expanding from Luochuan to the whole country. Now, his real estate company could be ranked in the top ten in the country and had been on the Forbes Rich List for ten consecutive years. His net worth was more than ten billion.

Zheng Dagang knew him purely because of the demolition. During that time, he helped his family with the procedures and ran back and forth between the real estate company, the housing management Bureau, and the demolition office. He was naturally very familiar with Luochuan real estate and had seen Zhao Hengjian a few times.

However, Zhao Hengjian didn’t know Zheng Dagang. Just as Zheng Dagang and Su Xiaofan were talking in a low voice, Jing Shizhen waved and called Zheng Dagang over.

“Old Zhao, this is my nephew, Zheng Dagang. He might be in charge of Luochuan’s Jingxin Hall in the future. You have to take care of him,” Jing Shizhen said and introduced Zheng Dagang to Zhao Hengjian.

“Well, the young man is very steady. Not bad.”

Zhao Hengjian looked at Zheng Dagang and nodded. He said to the girl beside him, “Yaoyao, greet Uncle Zheng.”

“Grandpa, he’s only a few years older than me.

I’m not going to call him that.”

The girl next to Zhao Hengjian had a look of displeasure on her face. The thing she hated the most was going out with her grandfather to meet the elders. The last time, a person who was only three years older than her also asked her to call him uncle. It had really infuriated her.

“Young man, let’s do our own thing.”

Jing Shizhen couldn’t help but smile when he saw this. He reached his hand in and said, “Old Zhao, this time I’ve found a pretty good magical artifact. Take a look at it first.”

“Alright,” he said. Zhao Hengjian nodded and followed Jing Shizhen into the inner room.

But when Zhao Hengjian saw Zheng Dagang and Su Xiaofan follow him in, he was surprised. Zhao Hengjian knew that Jing Shizhen usually didn’t like third parties present when he was trading with others. He had dealt with Jing Shizhen many times, but he had never made an exception.

It made sense for Zheng Dagang to enter, after all, he would be the successor of Jingxin Hall in the future, but Zhao Hengjian was a little unclear about Su Xiaofan’s background. “He’s also my nephew, not an outsider. He’s also very interested in this magic artifact.” Seeing Zhao Hengjian’s expression suddenly change, Jing Shizhen couldn’t help but laugh. “Old Zhao, I don’t mean anything else. You can pick the items first, so it’s fine if you buy both.

He’s just a secondary party. He’ll get his turn if you don’t want it.”

“Mm, that’s good. It’s a young friend.” Hearing Jing Shizhen’s words, Zhao Hengjian’s expression softened. “Where are you from, young friend?”

“Ah? I’m from Luochuan.” Su Xiaofan didn’t expect Zhao Hengjian to talk to him, so he quickly responded.

“He’s from the Su village, the bronze village.” Jing Shizhen explained.

“Oh, that’s not an outsider. Is Su Daya okay?”

Zhao Hengjian burst into laughter when he heard that Su Xiaofan was from the Su family village.

“Sixth Grandpa is in good health. Thank you your concern.”

for Su Xiaofan’s attitude became much more respectful. Not many people knew his nickname “Su Daya”, but Zhao Hengjian was able to call him that, which meant that he had a deep relationship with the man. “There’s quite a lot of wild game over there. I’ll ask your sixth Grandpa to hunt wild boars later.”

Zhao Hengjian nodded. Although he looked old, he had an imposing manner and did not treat himself as an old man at all.

“Now, we’ve put away our guns. We’re not allowed to hunt anymore.”

Su Xiaofan also relaxed and replied with a smile. When he was young, he often went hunting with his grandfather in the mountains, but a few years ago, the investigation was very thorough, and all the hunting guns in every household were confiscated.

“Don’t worry, your Sixth Grandpa knows bow hunting.”

Zhao Hengjian laughed and chatted with Su Xiaofan for a while. Jing Shizhen, who had entered the inner room, came out with a tray. “The Eight-Trigram Mirror can ward off evil spirits and is very defensive. This is the Wind-occupying Bell. Although it also has some defensive functions, it should be an offensive magic artifact.”

Jing Shizhen placed the tray on the tea table and went straight to the point, “Old Zhao, these are the two best magic tools I’ve found recently. They’re also relatively easy to carry around. Take a look.”

“Alright,” he said. Zhao Hengjian picked up the eight-trigram mirror and studied it for a while. He then picked up the wind chime and shook it gently to listen to the sound, just like Su Xiaofan.

“Younger brother Jing, can’t you find any magical artifacts that can be used as decorations?” After a long while, Zhao Hengjian put the two magical weapons back and said with some disappointment, “I’m looking for something for Yaoyao to protect herself with. The mirror and the bell can’t be kept close to her body, so it’s a little inconvenient.”

“Brother Zhao, as you know, decorative magical artifacts all have inheritances. I… I can’t possibly take it from someone else.” Jing Shizhen smiled bitterly. “It took a lot of effort to get these two magical weapons. The Eight Trigram Mirror is actually in my bag. It’s very convenient to carry around.” At this point, Jing Shizhen suddenly stopped and looked at Zheng Dagang and Su Xiaofan.

He said in a muffled voice, “There are some things that you know. You can still buy them with money now, but it’s hard to say in the future.”

“A magical artifact for decoration?” Su Xiaofan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard their conversation, and he almost reached out to touch the dragon-shaped jade pendant around his neck. Wasn’t it a pendant-type magic weapon? And it was an intermediate-level one at that. “Alright, I’ll take both.” Zhao Hengjian didn’t even ask for the price. He waved his hand and wanted to buy both magical artifacts.

“Uncle Jing.” Su Xiaofan was a little anxious. It didn’t matter if Zhao Hengjian was overbearing, but he would lose the Wind-occupying Bell he wanted. “Oh, I forgot that you also have your eyes on one. You want the Wind-occupying Bell, right?” Hearing Su Xiaofan’s voice, Zhao Hengjian remembered that the young man in front of him was also here for the Dharma artifact. “Forget it. I just want the Eight Trigram Mirror. You can have the Wind-occupying Bell.

It’s also a form of good karma with this little friend,” said Zhao Hengjian. “Thank you! Thank you so much.” Su Xiaofan had already given up hope, but he was overjoyed to see Zhao Hengjian give him the Wind-occupying Bell. “You don’t have to thank me. If your Sixth Grandpa finds out that I didn’t leave anything for you, he’ll definitely mock me.” Zhao Hengjian waved his hand and looked at Jing Shizhen, saying, “Little brother, I still have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be taking the item first.”

“Alright, we’ll have some tea another day.” Jing Shizhen nodded and walked Zhao Hengjian and Zhao Yaoyao out of the shop with Zheng Dagang and Su Xiaofan. As for the payment, it was a transaction of millions of Yuan, so there was no need for Zhao Hengjian to transfer the money now.

However, Su Xiaofan didn’t have such treatment. After Zhao Hengjian left, he took out the bank card his father had given him and another card for himself. He swiped 200,000 Yuan into it and paid for the Wind-occupying Bell.

Even so, Su Xiaofan owed Jing Shizhen a huge favor.

If Jing Shizhen hadn’t said those words to Zhao Hengjian, Zhao Hengjian would definitely have bought both magic weapons. In that case, Jing Shizhen wouldn’t have lost 600,000 Yuan for nothing.
