Chapter 227: This Little Junior Brother Isn't Simple!
Chapter 227: This Little Junior Brother Isn’t Simple!
Liu County and the others found it hard to believe that Zhang Lin had just casually placed something worth a few hundred million out in the open like that.
However, they couldn’t deny that the Golden Water Ripple under the sunlight was truly dazzling.
It seemed to have an invisible magnetic pull, drawing their eyes to it.
Indeed, if someone hadn’t seen such an item in person, they might think that spending a few hundred million on something like this was sheer madness.
But when they actually saw it, the item was so captivating that it stirred a desire to possess it.
That’s why it was so expensive—most people simply didn’t have the means to own it.
Old Zhu and Old Gu couldn’t help but rush forward, circling the piece of Golden Nanmu wood.
"Unbelievable, this is absolutely perfect," Old Zhu couldn’t help but praise, his hand caressing the wood as he walked around it.
"The quality surpasses anything we’ve ever seen," Old Gu added, and the others nodded in agreement.
Indeed, this piece of Golden Nanmu wood far exceeded their expectations.
If others found out about it, they would likely come to snatch it away.
Thinking of this, they all turned to Zhang Lin.
"Little Junior Brother, we want this Golden Nanmu wood. We can offer 300 million for it."
"That’s right, we need this item."
On their way here, they had already discussed it. If they were to compete for it, they might end up with conflicts.
So, they agreed to buy the wood together first and then divide it among themselves later.
Whether it would be used to make teaware or something else, they would decide among themselves.
Hearing the price, Zhang Lin’s eyes lit up.
The price was higher than he had expected.
Clearly, his senior brothers were offering a very sincere price.
Without hesitation, he said, "Senior Brothers, if that’s the case, I’ll sell this wood to you. It’s of no use to me, and it will be cherished in your hands."
Turning to Chen Xin, he added, "Chen Senior Brother, could you please prepare a contract?"
"Leave it to me," Chen Xin nodded, not daring to be the least bit careless, given the scale of the transaction.
After Chen Xin left, the senior brothers once again gathered around the Golden Nanmu wood, admiring it.
Old Zhu even took out his phone, snapping pictures of the wood and posting them on his social media: "This time, I’ve made a huge find. I managed to buy an entire piece of Golden Nanmu wood of such quality, with Golden Water Ripple. It’s hard to find such things on the market."
Naturally, this post was to show off.
After all, an old friend had previously bought a piece of Golden Nanmu and flaunted it for a while.
Now, this piece was far superior to the other one, and Old Zhu couldn’t resist flaunting it back.
Even though they were all big shots and tycoons, they weren’t saints. When facing peers at their level, they had the same competitive spirit.
It was just that what they boasted about was different from what ordinary people would.
An ordinary person might show off a new iPhone in their social media.
But Old Zhu was boasting about a 300 million item.
Soon, someone commented urgently, "Where did you buy this?"
"Guess!" Old Zhu replied teasingly.
The person was the same one who had previously shown off the Golden Nanmu in front of him.
Now the tables had turned.
Seeing the person’s eager follow-up comment, Old Zhu’s smile widened, and he ignored it, just to make the other person feel uncomfortable.
"Old Zhu, did you post on social media? Li Sheng just asked me where you bought the Golden Nanmu," Old Gu asked with a laugh.
Not just him, the others also chimed in with laughter:
"He asked me too."
"Me as well."
"Thinking about how he boasted last time, it feels good to get some revenge."
Old Zhu immediately asked, "You didn’t tell him, did you?"
Old Gu and the others shook their heads. "We’re not fools. Why would we tell him? Let him come and bother Little Junior Brother."
Liu Xian and the others exchanged puzzled glances. It seemed like a squabble between a bunch of kids, with a few of them trying to show off in front of another kid.
These were just a bunch of old pranksters, weren’t they?
But given their age and wealth, such behavior didn’t seem too out of place.
With this in mind, they became even more intrigued. These eccentric old men might be easier to approach, and there was a good chance they could convince them to invest a bit in You City.
Old Zhu and the others continued to admire the golden-threaded nanmu, until Chen Xin sent a message saying the contract was ready. Zhang Lin then said to his senior brothers, "Senior Brothers, let’s head to my office and sign the contract. Once it’s signed, this golden-threaded nanmu will be yours."
Formalities like signing a contract couldn’t be done on the spot; it required a proper setting.
Hearing this, the old men nodded without hesitation. After all, the golden-threaded nanmu wasn’t officially theirs until the contract was signed and the payment was made. They were eager to finalize the deal.
On the way to the office, Zhang Lin sent a message to Zhong Miaoying, asking her to brew a pot of his special Da Hong Pao tea to welcome the senior brothers.
Ordinary tea wouldn’t do for such distinguished guests.
Before long, Zhang Lin led the senior brothers to his office, where Chen Xin was already waiting with the prepared contract.
As they entered the office, a rich aroma of tea filled the air, wafting into their nostrils.
Old Zhu and Old Gu’s faces lit up with amazement at the scent.
"This tea aroma!"
"It’s like that tea, but it seems even better."
"Even the aroma is extraordinary."
The old men’s faces grew more incredulous. They had tasted many fine teas, even the best of the best, which most people could never taste. They had only managed to get a small amount of that tea before it stopped being produced, making it nearly impossible to find.
Now, Little Junior Brother had this tea?
"Senior Brothers, please try the tea I’ve been keeping in reserve," Zhang Lin said with a smile, noticing their expressions.
Old Zhu and Old Gu sat down, and Zhong Miaoying immediately poured the tea. "Gentlemen, please enjoy your tea!"
The senior brothers thanked her and eagerly took sips, exchanging glances after the first taste.
"This tea... it’s really that quality, isn’t it?"
"Yes, this level of tea, how could it be available?"
"Incredible."
They were truly astonished. They had tasted that supreme Da Hong Pao, which was incredibly rare, and even then, it was only through special channels. Now, they were drinking something that seemed to be of the same caliber.
"Little Junior Brother, this tea!" Old Zhu couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang Lin shook his head. "I can’t sell it. It’s rare, and I only have a little bit."
This made Old Zhu and the others nod in understanding. Indeed, if this tea were easy to obtain, they wouldn’t have struggled to get it.
But Little Junior Brother must have some channels they couldn’t reach.
This young man was definitely not ordinary.
"Little Junior Brother, let’s sign the contract, shall we?" Old Gu said, shifting back to the main topic.
Chen Xin promptly handed over the contract.
Old Gu took the contract, reviewed it, and signed his name, followed by the others.
Since they were all purchasing the golden-threaded nanmu together, they needed to sign their names to confirm that they all had a share in it.
"Alas, it’s a pity there’s only one piece of golden-threaded nanmu!" Old Zhu sighed after signing his name.
If there were more, it would be even better.
However, as he spoke, Zhang Lin’s eyes widened as he glanced at the game in his mind.
Was it the good fortune of these senior brothers, or his own?
