It's not easy to deceive Zhu Tai, an old man in the world. Even though he is a little tempted now, it is really not in line with his principle of low-key management to rashly get involved in the Wu family's affairs and go against Zhou Wen or the Zhou family. The two of them returned to Tianbao Building and sat in Zhu Tai's office. Zhu Tai's secretary immediately served tea. Lin An picked up the ancient-style tea bowl, blew the hot air and took a sip, and said: "I remember Boss Zhu, you said that the skyrocketing price of jade is not only due to the lack of mines, but also due to transportation difficulties. If you catch a What about the Wu family line? " Zhu Tai's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he did not express his position immediately. He was thinking about the pros and cons of helping or not helping. If you don¡¯t help him, you will have nothing to do with the Zhou family, and there will be no conflict with the Wu family, so naturally there will be no benefit. " If he offends the Zhou family, it will not be easy for him to take revenge on himself. But he has been operating in the capital for so many years, and there will always be this and that enemy. If the Zhou family instigates him from behind, he will be in trouble. But he showed favor to the Wu family. What benefits could he get from the Wu family? Like the jade industry that Lin An just mentioned, with the Wu family's smuggling channels, he might be able to get involved in the jade industry. In fact, the antiques and jewelry industries are not far apart. At least many of the people he knows are engaged in the jewelry industry. If he gets involved in jade, there will be no such thing as a mountain. To take a step back, even if you cannot enter the jade industry, you must know that antiques have another function, which is money laundering. They can preserve their value even if they are not laundered. However, the Wu family has its own money laundering channels. He has no friendship with Wu Xuejun either. But it will be different if I help the Wu family this time. As long as I share some profits, I'm afraid I can make a lot of money. Zhu Tai carefully analyzed the details of the gains and losses to see how much he could help. He needs to carefully consider how exactly he can help, whether the Wu family will appreciate it, etc. Seeing that Zhu Tai was still thinking carefully, Lin An was too lazy to wait any longer. He also wanted to find out from Zhao Yu whether Wu Xuejun could come out. If he can't come out, then his previous investment will be in vain and he can come out of Tianbao Tower. Lin An returned to Fuping Hotel, and met Xu Ping in the rest area at the corner of the third floor. Xu Ping waved to him, and Lin An had no choice but to go over and he just sat down. Xu Ping waved his hand and drove away the people around him, and now they were the only two people around. "Mr. Xiao Lin, you and Zhou Wen met?" Lin An was stunned. How long had it just happened that Xu Ping knew about it? He was very surprised and said, "Mr. Xu, are you so well-informed?" Xu Ping didn't hide anything from him either. He said directly: "It's not Zhu Tai. He found several people to inquire about Zhou Wen and the Wu family. Of course we knew that you and Zhou Wen had a conflict." This Zhu Tai is really a big talker, Lin An admitted: "That's right, that guy Zhou Wen came in with a bunch of people and asked me to cancel the transaction. He said he would give me a jade pendant in a week. He is really good at doing business and used other people's things to get rid of me." So young and energetic. Xu Ping couldn't help scratching his head, although he didn't know the situation at the scene. But he understood that Zhou Wen was afraid of Lin An, so what if Lin An drove Zhou Wen away? As long as he didn't interfere with the Wu family's affairs, Zhou Wen would still send the jade pendant over. Why bother when he already has face and dignity? Lin An had another thought, but he didn't say it out at the time. Instead, he asked Xu Ping something else: "Has Mr. Xu encountered any difficulties in public relations recently?" Xu Ping's face froze and he immediately recovered. Normal, he immediately waved his hand: "What's the point? Our name Xu Ping is there. Which department dares not to sell face?" Lin An remained silent and looked at Xu Ping seriously. Xu Ping was stared at by his eyes. A little embarrassed, he sighed. "People nowadays are only focused on money. It's as if they have never seen money." The reason is very simple. There is no way to hide the news that Lin An is here to give money, but giving money is money. Those big heads from Nanyuan Company have already been given to them, so Lin An can come and prove that he has a correct attitude. It¡¯s just that the king of hell is very difficult to deal with. Things went smoothly at first, but as a result, their appetite grew more and more, and they still spoke plausibly. "Why does that guy get more than me? Mr. Xu, do you look down on me?" Of course, after all, an official in the capital would not say it so directly, nor would he say it so crudely. Basically, it is Take a few twists and turns to express the meaning of your words. In short, they only have two words: "Too few." Lin An spread his hands: "Mr. Xu, look, it's hard to be a good person nowadays. If you don't build some prestige, you will be regarded as a fool." "Hiss" Xu Ping couldn't help but tremble. A breath of air-conditioning, feelingsMr. Xiao Lin intervened in the affairs of the Wu family, and there was a hidden meaning in it. "It's not easy to take advantage of the Zhou family, or to use Zhou Wen to establish authority. But thinking about the backers behind Lin An, if the Zhao family really intervened, it would not be impossible to lure Wu Xuejun out, and it would be trivial to exploit Zhou Wen to establish his power. From another aspect, it doesn¡¯t matter even if it fails in the end. Lin An¡¯s goal of establishing his power has been achieved, so he is not afraid even if the effect is almost the same. Those "little devils" are all as smart as monkeys. After hearing about this, they will never dare to continue talking like a lion. After understanding Lin An¡¯s intention, he couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. How could this be youthful and energetic? He was clearly old and cunning. Zhou Wen was really unlucky this time. ¡° Then Xu Ping also fell into the same thinking as Zhu Tai, should he participate? Xu Ping was much more decisive than Zhu Tai, and all he needed to do was show his kindness. Anyway, it was a timely help, and Wu Xuejun would definitely remember him. It doesn¡¯t matter even if he fails, he is not afraid that the Zhou family will come to trouble him, not to mention that there is Lin An in front of him. "Xiao Lin really has you." Xu Ping gave Lin An a thumbs up, "I will help you pay attention to the news over there in the Zhou family." This is also a smart man. Lin An looked at Xu Ping's leaving figure. , and then took the person back to his room. Wang Yan also came over after learning that Lin An was back. "Boss, are you done?" Lin An nodded and took out the jewelry box containing the jade pendant from his pocket and shook it. He didn't seem to care at all. On the contrary, Wang Yan was a little frightened. This was the legendary emperor jade, for fear that Lin An If the Anshou slips and falls, that will be bad. In fact, Wang Yan was overly worried. Not to mention the hard texture of jade itself, the floor in the room was covered with a thick carpet, so it didn't matter if it fell. Seeing Wang Yan staring at the jewelry box, Lin An smiled and said, "Want to take a look?" Without waiting for her to speak, he opened the jewelry box, revealing the green jade Buddha. Under the sunlight outside the window, the jade pendant reflected A faint green fluorescence. "So beautiful." Wang Yan couldn't help but exclaim, staring at the jade pendant in the jewelry box without blinking. (To be continued)
