“Fifty thousand is too little, isn’t this taking advantage of an honest man? I’ll

make it fifty-five thousand.”

Jiang Xu spoke up, drawing the attention of both sides.

Fifty-five thousand-one could only say that Jiang Xu had a conscience, but not much of one.

“Kid, what’s your stake in this? Don’t cause trouble here!” His gaze glowered at

Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu shrugged, “I’m also planning to enter the mineral water industry. If you are not pleased, you can raise the bid.”

Zhou Jie sneered and then said to the village leader, “One hundred thousand,

that’s my limit.”

He didn’t bother to up the bid.

Knowing Jiang Xu was there, it would have been useless.

The village leader realized that the spring in his village might be a precious commodity.

So he held up a finger, “I’ll name my price, one million.” Jiang Xu and Zhou Jie looked at each other, both stood up simultaneously, turned around and started walking out, their movements fluid and coordinated.

Damn.

Getting used to you.

“Hey, don’t go! We can slowly negotiate,” the village leader cried out behind them anxiously.

Jiang Xu and Zhou Jie’s eyes locked.

The two rapidly exchanged messages with their eyes.

“Let’s partner up, secure this spring first, then we can split it.” 𝑓𝓇𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“How should we partner up?”

“Securing it for a hundred thousand, then we’ll play rock-paper-scissors,

best-of-three.”

“Will you keep your word?”

“Yes, I stake my man’s dignity on it.”

“Alright, deal!”

Thus, the two reached an agreement, simultaneously stopped, and turned around again.

Jiang Xu shrugged, “I withdraw my bid.”

Zhou Jie coldly said, “One hundred thousand, take it or leave it.”

The situation had drastically changed, which utterly disoriented the village leader.

He was a bit suspecting that these two were playing him, but he had no proof.

He grit his teeth and said, “I can’t decide this on my own, I need to consult with

the villagers.”

Zhou Jie added, “If you agree, each household will receive an additional one thousand in subsidies per year.

If you miss this opportunity, there won’t be another one. After all, not only

your place has spring water.”

The village head and groom lit up.

They seemed very interested.

Jiang Xu watched, shook his head silently. They were still biting off more than they could chew.

Before coming here, his original budget to secure a spring was at least five hundred thousand.

But having seen Zhou Jie, he felt his heart wasn’t black enough.

The village head and groom quickly summoned the villagers to discuss the

matter.

Jiang Xu and Zhou Jie’s eyes met again.

Then, they both made their moves.

“Rock-paper-scissors, three times!”

Out of three rounds, Zhou Jie won two.

Jiang Xu and his companions looked considerably distressed.

Zhou Jie laughed heartily, “Kid, who would have thought your luck to be so bad, losing two rounds out of three.

Since you’ve lost already, don’t stay here any longer. Leave quickly. You wouldn’t want to renege on our agreement.”

Jiang Xu sneered, “When 1, Jiang, say something, I mean it. I’m leaving right now.”

After saying this, he took the lead and left.

An Nuonuo and the others followed him closely.

“Jiang Xu, are we really giving up just like that?” Fu Yanjie felt somewhat baffled.

After such a long trip to get here, was this the result?

Jiang Xu shook his head, his face grave. Seeing him like this, no one else dared to speak.

Zhou Jie watched Jiang Xu leave, squinting his eyes.

He mused, “This kid is a crafty one, I feel like things aren’t as simple as they

seem.

Huizi, follow them. Be quiet, don’t let them notice. Listen in on their conversation.”

“Alright, Boss.”

His name was Huizi, but he was short and nimble, like a large mouse scurrying

out.

The four of them descended the mountain, the atmosphere heavy and demure. As they passed by a sizeable tree, a sudden punch was thrown.

With the intense vibration, a great amount of brittle, yellow leaves fell. The three other members of the squad jumped in surprise, thinking that Jiang Xu was very angry.

Jiang Xu’s attention, however, remained fixated behind them.

He deliberately slowed his pace a little.

Soon, he heard an extremely faint sound-something stepping on fallen leaves.

If he hadn’t listened closely, he would have missed it.

Jiang Xu let out a silent sigh of relief in his heart.

Thankfully, he had guessed correctly, someone from the opposition had followed them.

Otherwise, it would have been a waste of his time.

As they passed a small turn, Jiang Xu stopped.

In this location, Huizi could hide behind them, undetected.

“Damn it!” He voiced his annoyance, “The plan was so great initially; now that guy has ruined everything.

If I could control the springs in this vicinity, it would have been easy to make billions in a month.”

Huizi, who had been listening in, felt his heart jump.

Could selling water really be that lucrative? Unable to stop himself, he pricked up his ears to listen more carefully. Jiang XU’S companions were taken aback and didn’t understand why he suddenly mentioned this.

An Nuonuo looked at Jiang Xu’s expression, quickly realizing what he was hinting at, and immediately joined the conversation: “Why do you say so?” Jiang Xu: “Nowadays, people’s living conditions have improved and they have started to pay more attention to their health.

Tap water can no longer satisfy a portion of the population. And good quality mineral water, has become many people’s first choice. E-commerce has already started to emerge and it’s certain to become mainstream in the future.

If I had ten billion in hand now, I would immediately enter this industry. Taking advantage of the fact that the other established mineral water factories haven’t reacted, I would settle into e-commerce.

Then, I would use nine billion from the ten billion to advertise online, which would undoubtedly attract a large number of buyers.

I would price it slightly lower, which would definitely lead to explosive sales. Even the name and the slogan, I have thought of.

I would call it Xia Jiba Mineral Water. Xia means summer, suggesting positivity and ambition. Ji means auspicious, Ba symbolizes anticipation and expectation.

All together, it implies that customers will be very fortunate after drinking Xia Jiba Mineral Water during the scorching summer.

The slogan would be Xia Jiba Mineral Water, the first choice of mineral water for the young, offering you an ultimate refreshment.

Fu Yanjie, being Jiang Xu’s close friend, although he wasn’t sure why Jiang Xu’s words differed so greatly from the day before,

but judging from Jiang Xu’s expression, he guessed that someone was eavesdropping from around the corner.

Thus, Yanjie played along: “Then let’s go to another mountain. Can he contract all the mountains?”

■■Ah!” Jiang Xu suddenly let out a deep sigh. “There’s nothing we can do. Zhang Xiaohui has also gotten involved, and we can’t win against them. She’s too wealthy. How can we compete with her?

It’s such a pity. If I had as much money as Zhang Xiaohui,

I definitely would have immediately mobilized funds to seize the emerging markets, no matter how large the initial investment needed to be. One can hardly imagine the returns that would come from becoming the leading brand online.

Let’s just take it as a fun outing. We won’t venture into this line of business anymore. Let’s head back.”

Having said this, Jiang Xu waved his hand, his demeanor one of defeat and dismay.

It wasn’t until they left that Huizi emerged from his hiding spot. Without any delay, he ran back to inform Zhou Jie of the conversation he had just overheard. fre(e)novelkiss.com

“This young man certainly has some tricks up his sleeve.” Zhou Jie was overjoyed. He told the others, “Wait here for a while. I’m going down the mountain to report to the boss.”

Meanwhile, the four, including Jiang Xu, descended from the mountain. An Nuonuo and Fu Yanjie both wanted to ask Jiang Xu about his actual plans. However, knowing that Lin Xiaoxian was with them, they surmised that Jiang Xu wouldn’t divulge anything and refrained from asking.

It was getting late—past four in the afternoon.

The group left the place and returned to where they had stayed the previous night.

After checking in, Jiang Xu said, “Let’s shower first, then have dinner.”

Upon returning to their individual rooms, after a few minutes, both Fu Yanjie and An Nuonuo, as if by agreement, arrived at Jiang Xu’s room.

Fu Yanjie rubbed his hands together and asked: “Come on, what’s your plan?”
