Yang Chen: "Hehe... Thank you."
Wang Qian Ni imdiately questioned: "Zhang Jiacheng, what do you an? Why did you have Li Tao snatch the check back just now? Can’t afford to lose, don’t want to admit, is that it?"
Zhang Jiacheng: "Nonsense! Want to win a billion so easily, it’s too easy, isn’t it? We were just joking, and you took it seriously? Gambling is illegal, don’t you know? If I report this now, both sides will be in trouble. I don’t care, but I’m worried this ride-share driver won’t be able to escape the ss."
Yang Chen: "Hmm? What gambling? Weren’t you the ones who offered a billion to have compete against Schult? Gambling is definitely illegal, but taking an appearance fee isn’t."
Chen Lijun and the others understood and quickly followed Yang Chen’s lead.
Chen Lijun: "Exactly! You offered a billion to have Brother Chen compete against Schult, and now you’ve lost and want to renege? Don’t you respect the rules of the underworld?"
Wang Zijun: "Brother Cheng, you’re like a big boss to us. What you did today has really damaged your image; who the heck would dare to play with you in the future?"
Playing or not, losing a billion incomprehensibly, Zhang Jiacheng was not going to take it lying down.
"I don’t want to argue with you, if the check isn’t returned, I’ll report it to the police. By then whoever it is, no one will get away." Zhang Jiacheng said.
Buffett, Gates, and Schult three listened to the translation and instantly got furious.
Schult: "Mr. Zhang, I told you I don’t want to end up in the police station. If you dare call the police and implicate us three, I definitely won’t let you go!"
Buffett: "Mr. Zhang, don’t you have the basic integrity? Losing is losing, how can you wager and not accept defeat?"
Gates: "If you’re this kind of person, then our collaboration can’t continue. We won’t cooperate with soone who doesn’t respect the rules, who knows what you might do to us in the future."
Zhang Jiacheng was extrely angry, but he didn’t dare offend Buffett and Gates.
Thinking that the money earned from their future collaboration would surpass a billion, Zhang Jiacheng had no choice but to temporarily compromise.
But though compromising was easy, his plan was, once the collaboration was settled, he’d make Yang Chen return all the money to him.
Zhang Jiacheng nodded and said: "I’ll consider it a tip to you guys out of consideration for Buffett, Gates, and Schult. However, let’s wait and see, good luck won’t last forever. When you fall into my hands, hmph-hmph..."
After issuing his threat, Zhang Jiacheng left with his people.
But Schult and the other three didn’t leave, insisting on exchanging contact information with Yang Chen, so they could compete again when they ca to Dragon Country or if Yang Chen went to the United States.
Yang Chen’s attitude remained firm; those three were either partners or friends of Zhang Jiacheng, Yang Chen couldn’t be friends with them.
At this mont, Buffett suddenly asked: "Yang, can we have a private conversation? I have sothing very important to discuss with you. Gates, join us too."
Probably about their partnership with Zhang Jiacheng, right?
Yang Chen nodded and moved to a deserted place to chat with Buffett and Gates.
Buffett: "Yang, can you guarantee not to tell anyone about our conversation?"
Yang Chen: "Okay."
Buffett: "Good. Actually, we want to mine not only real-world minerals but also virtual currencies like Bitcoin with Zhang Jiacheng. You understand, right?"
Gates: "Mining real-world minerals is no problem, but Bitcoin mines are trickier since your Dragon Country has declared them illegal. We now feel that Zhang Jiacheng’s character is questionable, making collaboration risky. Do you have any channels? We can ditch him and work with you."
As for mineral resources, Yang Chen truly had no channels.
Mining virtual currencies, Yang Chen was even less inclined to do so.
Not that he didn’t want to earn that money, but the risks were simply too high.
The Dragon Country law clearly defines Bitcoin and other virtual currencies as illegal and doesn’t allow residents to use residential electricity for mining.
But using comrcial electricity for mining, at two yuan per Kilowatt-hour, the cost is just too high.
If it were to happen, it couldn’t be done in Dragon Country; finding partners in Southeast Asia would be the best choice.
At this point, Yang Chen’s phone rang, Wang Qian Ni quickly handed the phone to him.
Yang Chen saw that it was Zhang Lijun calling.
Yang Chen went to the dressing room to change clothes and called Zhang Lijun back.
Zhang Lijun: "Brother Chen, it’s difficult for to take over the jade mines in Southern Myanmar that DiDi is partnering with Li Xiang’s son Li Dengfeng. Both of them have been caught, how do I contact those in Southern Myanmar?"
Jade mines?
Aren’t those mines too?
This call arrived just in ti.
Yang Chen: "I’ll call Qiu Yuhong later, you take so rcenaries to Southern Myanmar to talk to the mine owner face-to-face. Just frankly tell them Li Dengfeng and DiDi have been caught, and now we want to take over their shares. If the mine owner is willing, then let’s talk. If he’s not, then have the rcenaries take out the second-in-command on the other side to give them a stern warning. Southern Myanmar is chaotic, I’ve heard that even Ox Demon King had to plow two acres and was forced to sell blood and organs. So you must be extrely careful and alert to anyone. Also, you must be ruthless and rciless, never show kindness. If you show kindness, they, who kill indiscriminately, won’t show rcy to you. Understand?"
This was no nonsense, the Wa State in Southern Myanmar is indeed a hell on earth.
