Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 567 - 381: Next Time We Eat, Can I Start First?

Chapter 567: Chapter 381: Next Time We Eat, Can I Start First?

Inside the business car by the street, the old ghost took out a Jade Pendant from his pocket and handed it to Qi Yun.

The Jade Pendant was palm-sized, shaped like the English letter C, and felt unique to the touch. There was a small hole on top, likely for threading a cord to wear it.

The edge of the Jade Pendant was carved with a small but exquisitely detailed image of a bird, which was an ibis. The ibis was revered as a "sacred bird" by Japan’s Imperial Family, symbolizing purity and longevity.

The Three Sacred Treasures have a high status in Japan, recorded in many places in the Kojiki, relating to creatures like the eight-headed serpent and the sun goddess Amaterasu. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

However, there is another theory that, according to historical records, when Qin Dynasty’s alchemist Xu Fu crossed east, he not only brought three thousand boys and girls but also carried numerous treasures from the Qin Dynasty.

Among them were the Three Sacred Treasures.

This theory is not entirely groundless, as as early as the Eastern Zhou period, Huaxia’s metal and jade craftsmanship was already world-leading, making it possible to craft the Three Sacred Treasures during that era.

Qi Yun rubbed his fingers against the Jade Pendant, feeling that it wasn’t as mystical as it was portrayed online, likely more of a spiritual symbol.

"Let’s go, inform them all to head to the airport." Qi Yun put away the Jade Pendant, instructing Brother Quan.

"Alright." Brother Quan immediately started the car, quickly driving toward the airport.

More than half an hour later, the group arrived at the airport.

Harris was already waiting for some time as they arrived. Seeing Qi Yun’s arrival, he approached with a curious expression: "Brother, what do you want to show me?"

Qi Yun patted his shoulder: "Time is tight. If you have nothing much here, why not come to Huaxia with me and I’ll show you on the plane."

Harris raised his eyebrows; after all, he came to Japan just to help Qi Yun, and now that the latter was safely out, he could leave at any time.

"OK, sounds like a good trip."

Saying this, Harris turned around and instructed his subordinates behind him, then boarded the private jet with Qi Yun.

The cabin door slowly closed, and the plane started to taxi slowly down the runway, ascending to the clouds, and Qi Yun’s tense heart finally fully relaxed.

Harris savored the champagne brought by the attractive flight attendant, eagerly looking at Qi Yun: "Alright brother, now you should tell me what it exactly is?"

Qi Yun didn’t waste words, pulling up the privacy curtain, taking out the Jade Pendant, and handing it over.

Harris took it and glanced at it for a few seconds, then his smile froze instantly: "God... why does this thing look a bit familiar?"

"This is one of Japan’s Three Sacred Treasures, the Eight-footed Jade Hook," Qi Yun whispered.

"Eigh... Eight-footed Jade Hook!?" Harris’ eyes widened, filled with disbelief, "Isn’t this thing supposed to be in the Tokyo Palace?"

Qi Yun smiled mysteriously, offering no further explanation: "You can help me find a buyer for this, with three percent commission for you."

Normally for such a high-priced transaction, middlemen only take one percent, so Qi Yun’s offer of three percent was in return for the favor.

Harris swallowed, looking at Qi Yun in surprise, not expecting him to be so generous.

If the right buyer could be found for this thing, it could be one hundred million USD or even one billion USD, all depending on the buyer’s level of interest.

Even at the lowest estimate of one hundred million USD, that’s thirty million! Enough to buy an estate in Europe.

"Oh! My brother from another mother, thank you for your generosity!"

Saying this, Harris tried to give Qi Yun a warm hug, but was blocked from behind.

"Alright, I leave it to you. Just do the transaction with the buyer directly, preferably without revealing my identity."

...

At nine o’clock in the evening, the plane landed at Shanghai Airport.

The group soon found a nearby hotel to stay at. After a brief tidying up, Qi Yun took Brother Quan and Xiao Wu to a restaurant in the Huangpu District.

The purpose of coming to Shanghai was to attend an appointment.

In the private room, four people were already waiting.

The main seat was occupied by a dignified middle-aged man, with Qi Yun’s future father-in-law Zhao Weilin chatting with him.

"Old Zhao, your son-in-law is quite something now."

"I went to Beijing for a meeting a few days ago and met Director Xiao, who mentioned that even Wendong, the leader over there, holds your son-in-law in high regard."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weilin was momentarily stunned. Being a commercial magnate, he naturally knew who Wendong was, the second-in-command in the office, someone even he might not have the chance to meet.

Could it be that Qi Yun has now entered the sight of such influential figures?

"What? You didn’t know?"

Zhao Weilin awkwardly smiled: "I don’t often communicate with him."

Saying this, he took a sip of tea, recalling his previous meeting with Qi Yun in Bird City.

Privately thinking, was he too overbearing back then... Would this kid hold a grudge against him?

Director Sun from the development department joined in: "A document has been issued from above, confirming the cooperation on the photovoltaic project with Oil Country, with the order amount reaching one hundred billion USD. Your son-in-law is the person in charge of this project."

"Old Zhao, although our photovoltaic industry base here can’t match other provinces, our policies are favorable, you know that."

"Director Huang has already said that if Qi Yun agrees to build the factory here, land and tax rates will be given the highest tier of policy!"

"When Qi Yun arrives, make sure to speak for us, huh?"

Director Huang at the main seat nodded, tacitly agreeing with Director Sun’s earlier words.

Zhao Weilin once again tactically sipped his water, having no choice but to nod along.
