Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

There was still a long way to go before Lao Tong's house, so Zhao Qin and the others had to stop the car because the road leading in was not wide to begin with and was already congested.

As soon as I got off the car, I heard a noise.

When we arrived at the center of the storm, we saw Lao Tong wiping his sweat and standing in the middle, preventing a conflict from happening.

Zhao Qin and his companions listened outside for a while. Yu Li and his companions certainly couldn't understand what was being said, but Zhao Qin could understand a little bit.

It turns out that one side is from the local area, and the other side is from Pingzhou.

The locals believed that Pingzhou could not cross the border to grab food, so they had to wait in line until the locals had finished harvesting, and then they could harvest theirs if there was still time.

The people of Pingzhou were naturally not happy. They had also arrived early to line up, and were invited by the local president. Why should they be the last?

The two sides were arguing fiercely, and some of them were holding carrying poles. If it weren't for Lao Tong, they might have really fought.

Then, many families whose doors were blocked were naturally unhappy and joined in the quarrel.

Zhao Qin looked at the long line and the people surrounding the quarrel and felt a headache.

Where did all these people come from? It was different from yesterday, when everyone came by car. But today, there were carts and wheelbarrows pushed by hands.

Some people even picked it up with a shoulder pole. He even saw someone standing in the team holding a stone.

"Aqin, you are finally here. Shall we start now?" Lao Tong thought that as long as he started looking at the materials, these people would definitely behave themselves.

Zhao Qin didn't think so. He raised his voice and said, "Brother Sheng, remember this. Anyone who makes noise should leave now. I won't take the material anymore."

His words were very effective. From Lao Tong's attitude, he knew that the man in front of him was the legendary big boss who was stupid and rich.

If they really don't accept it, then I've worked in vain this morning.

But there were also some who didn't listen, namely the neighbors who were blocked at the door. Zhao Qin and Lao Tong exchanged a few words in a low voice, and then asked Li Gang to run and buy a stack of red envelopes.

Lao Tong announced to the crowd, "We will issue the numbers later. I promise that everyone who gets a number on site will have their materials checked today, so don't worry."

Hearing what he said, everyone was delighted.

However, some of the quick-reacting ones couldn't help but show concerns on their faces. With so many stones, it seemed that the buyers would be more picky than yesterday.

Just as these people expected, Old Tang was whispering to Zhao Qin, "Should we be stricter with the quality control? Should we get better quality?"

"No need, just follow yesterday's standards." Zhao Qin didn't care about the extra thirty or twenty million worth of materials. Taking this stuff back could ensure that his small processing factory would not lack work for at least the next ten years.

Wang Jiasheng and Lao Tong's son took a piece of paper and began to distribute numbers to everyone.

Zhao Qin said to Lao Feng, "Uncle Feng, I see many retail investors, if they pay…"

Old Feng slapped his forehead and ran out quickly. A moment later, he came back with a box. "I searched the house and brought all the money, including the gift money for my son's wedding that I didn't have time to save. I also found a few friends to borrow some money from earlier this morning.

We have collected more than 130 million, but it looks like it may not be enough.”

Zhao Qin had a headache. He had a new checkbook, but it only had a dozen or so notes. It was definitely not enough for today's situation.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should go to the bank now, Yu Fako and Li Gang came over and handed him a few checks.

"Here, mine, my dad's, and Gangzi's are all here, you can use them first."

Zhao Qin was startled. It turned out that he was not the only one who carried a checkbook with him. Thinking about it, it was understandable. The popularity of POS machines was not that high these days. It was not certain that large amounts could be swiped.

For real-time transfer, you also need to have an internet connection.

It's quite convenient to carry a checkbook.

"Gangzi, sure, you brought your checkbook too?"

Li Gang snorted, "Everyone can show off. Compared to you and Ke Zi, I am a pauper, but I can't compare with you two."

There is nothing wrong with what he said. The Li family is indeed not bad. Even if it is not a lot, they must have a net worth of more than 10 billion. Otherwise, Li Minghui would not have said that he would give his son 100 million to start a business just for trial and error.

I have a few extra check books, which should be enough. At worst, I can just pool them together with the ones I know.

"Here, here you go." Li Gang handed over the red envelope that Zhao Qin asked him to buy.

Zhao Qin didn't take it. He opened his bag and took out a wad of cash. "Please pack it for me. Put... 600 yuan in each."

Soon, more than 20 red envelopes were packed. Zhao Qin called the son of Lao Tong who had just distributed the numbers. He was introduced before, and his name was Tong Yingzheng.

"Da Zheng, please do me a favor. I see that the people in line have blocked the doors of many houses, which is indeed affecting others. So, you can give each family a red envelope to express your apology."

Lao Tong came over and waved his hand, saying, "I will come to apologize after this..."

"Uncle Tong, let's not be polite today."

Uncle Tong was very pleased with this. He grinned and turned to his son and said, "Speak nicely. Don't do bad things with good intentions."

Seeing Dazheng leave, Zhao Qin said to Lao Tong, "Let's let the retail investors in first. Most of them only have one or two stones. We may not be able to find them. Let's not keep them waiting."

"Well, let's arrange it this way. I'll go and notify them."

Father Yu sat nearby, drinking tea and watching Zhao Qin's arrangements with a smile on his face. Seeing that things were in order, he nodded with satisfaction.

Even if this child has nothing now, he can still stand out based on the abilities he has demonstrated.

He also understood that from the outside, some people might think that Zhao Qin had benefited from the Yu family to develop so quickly to the current level, but he knew that

My son is very lucky to have met such a friend and partner.

Soon, the yard became lively as more than 20 people rushed in, each holding their own stone and trying to get closer to Zhao Qin.

"Boss, look at mine first. My stone is the best."

"Boss, you see mine has all the sand removed, it's not like their dripping and touching performance."

This time, Lao Tong began to take charge of the situation. He pressed his hand at everyone and said, "Stop making noise. Put the fabrics in the middle. There are too many people. I won't ask you to sit down. Stand a little further away so that the guests can look at the fabrics first."

These are retail traders, most of whom are just setting up stalls, so they are not as particular as the real jade merchants.

Feng Tang and the other man squatted down to look at the material, and they wanted to go forward to explain it, as they were afraid that the two men were not professional and could not see the true performance of their material.

"Whoever keeps talking nonsense can just take the material and get out." Lao Tong no longer had the good temper he had before. With just one sentence, the few people who had been disturbing him while he was looking at the material decided to behave themselves.

After looking at the materials, the two men asked the workers to put the remaining ones aside. The owner of the materials who didn't like them wanted to fight for them again, but was directly driven away by Lao Tong.

Seeing that it was noon, Ah Shui came out of the yard with two lunch boxes.

I have to say that although the waiting time was a bit long, the service was impeccable. On average, someone would bring water to the queue every half an hour. You could take whatever you wanted.

It’s noon already and someone is delivering food to us.

The father-in-law watched the worker load the unsold stones onto the car. He planned to move the car aside first so as not to block other people's business.

After moving to an open space, he handed a box lunch to his father-in-law and said, "Dad, eat a bite before we go. We'll go home directly in the afternoon."

The father-in-law didn't follow into the yard, but he knew how much was loaded before he came and how much was loaded on the car now. He asked with a happy face, "I see there are 11 stones missing. How much did you sell them for?"
