Happy Shennong

Chapter 247 Huge Influence
Linley was taken aback. He only heard about Kong Yunzhou in the restaurant at noon. He had never met him before, so how did Kong Yunzhou know his name?

"A matter of one sentence is nothing to worry about." Kong Yunzhou waved his hand, and continued to look at Linley with a smile, "Even if it wasn't you, someone else encountered this kind of thing, I would intervene, so you don't have to thank me. As a gambling stone Lovers, I know how difficult this business is. Although I am friends with many bosses here, I will always be on the side of stone gambling enthusiasts. I don’t want to see my peers finally solve a valuable emerald , and will be ruthlessly slaughtered by the unscrupulous boss."

Linley nodded his head: "Kong Lao is not only good at betting on stones, but also has a high moral integrity, which is really admirable. I finally understand why you have such a big influence."

"I'm just doing things with my heart. As for the influence, I can only say that it is due to the wrong love from my peers."

"Elder Kong is humble."

Linley knew that since ancient times, people with more money did not necessarily gain the respect of others.Especially in this era, hatred of the rich is common.People with more money are even more difficult to gain the favor of others than those with less money, let alone respect.

Kong Lao was able to flourish in the stone gambling business. In addition to his superb skills, he must also have the support of a rich family. To put it bluntly, he is a rich man.In addition, he has made a lot of money in the stone gambling business, so there must be many people who are jealous.It stands to reason that he should be the type to be hated.

But in fact, stone gambling enthusiasts spoke highly of him.Even when talking about him behind his back, his words were full of awe and admiration, not jealousy.

Linley had considered this before, so he felt very puzzled.

But now, Linley understood.The reason why Kong Yunzhou was abnormally respected by his peers was because of his noble character, and with his character and strength, he gathered a lot of popularity.Then use these popularity to continue to strive for the maximum benefit for the peers, forming a virtuous circle.

What he has done has been unanimously affirmed by his peers, but it will also attract the disgust of rough stone merchants.However, as the leader of the stone gambling party in this city, he is also a legendary figure, and his influence is immeasurable.It is no exaggeration to say that he alone can affect the development of the entire stone gambling industry in this city, and even merchants have to curry favor with him.

To put it simply, for example, which one he likes to gamble with, there will definitely be a large number of fans following him.If he unlocks something better, like yesterday's rough stone worth 100 million yuan, it will also form a word-of-mouth live advertisement, attracting more people to follow suit to go treasure hunting, and then drive the business of that store.

However, the number of people who gamble with stones is basically constant. If there are more people going to that store, the business of other stores will naturally deteriorate.Therefore, he can be said to be the weathervane of the stone gambling industry in this city, and it is also the best advertisement.Which store can win him over, which store can sell more rough stones and make more profits.

This is why a boss like Zhang Yulong, after learning that Lin Lei is his "friend", immediately changed his attitude and was willing to give an extra 20 yuan...

Kong Yunzhou took a sip of tea, and asked casually: "Linley, I'm curious. I heard that you are new to gambling stones, and you have solved the best imperial green. How did you do it?"

"Would you believe me if I said it was pure luck?" Linley responded casually.

"How should I put it? It's not impossible if it's all luck. However, if three of the thousands of rough stones are selected, the chances of one of them being the best imperial green are very, very small. The key is There is a feeling that the other two pieces were chosen by you deliberately as a cover?"

"Uh...why did Kong Lao say that?"

"I heard that the three rough stones you selected are priced at [-], [-], and [-]. As a novice, not everyone dares to buy tens of thousands of rough stones. And The type of rough stone you chose, the gap is too big, right?"

Linley smiled and said, "Kong Lao's thoughts are really meticulous, but the fact... I think I will disappoint you. I'm just superstitious about the saying 'good things don't last more than three'. As for which rough stone to choose, I refer to one peers, plus my sixth sense."

"I see. It seems that your sixth sense is quite accurate. I wonder if you have time tomorrow?"

"To be honest, I've been short on time recently. But if Mr. Kong has something to do, I will naturally make time."

"It's like this. In a shop not far ahead, there are two rough stones in good condition. But today's time is too late. If you are interested, let's go and have a look together tomorrow?"

"That's a good thing. I'm a novice. I can have the opportunity to learn how to gamble with you at a close distance. I wish for it. You set a time, and I will be there on time."

"Then tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, let's meet at the entrance of the market."

Linley nodded: "No problem. By the way, Mr. Kong, is there any conflict between you and Brother Long?"

Regardless of Zhang Yulong's character for the time being, he still had to do what he agreed to.Zhang Yulong reminded him emphatically just now, asking him to say a few nice words in front of Kong Yunzhou.It may be that Zhang Yulong realized that the business had deteriorated and wanted to win Kong Yunzhou over.

Kong Yunzhou said lightly: "It can't be said that it's a contradiction. I like to come here to choose rough stones, but you may have seen that Zhang Yulong's character is average. The business is so big and he likes to deceive people, so I Gradually, he seldom came. However, his attitude of repentance today is not bad.”

Linley nodded and said nothing more.It seems that Kong Yunzhou has already understood what he meant, so his goal has been achieved.For a person who almost cheated himself, just keeping his promise is enough.

After discussing the business, after Linley thanked him again, he took his leave and left.

The big man who had been standing to the side had complicated eyes. After watching Linley leave, he hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Master, there is something... I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Say."

"Then what...Master, Linley is your competitor, why are you still helping him?"

"Competitor? You're wrong."

The big man quickly changed his words: "I'm sorry, master, I made a slip of the tongue. He is a young boy, and he really doesn't have the qualifications to compete with you."

"Hey...you are wrong again." Kong Yunzhou sighed, looked out the window, and said leisurely, "I am the one who is not qualified to compete!"

"What?" Ah Hu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Master, don't you think highly of him?"

Kong Yunzhou shook his head, and replied meaningfully: "You will understand in the future. No... Maybe you will know tomorrow. Let me ask you, what would you do if you met an opponent who couldn't win at all?"

"I... I don't know, please enlighten me, Master."

"It's very simple, since you can't win, then find a way to become friends with them. Having a strong friend is much better than having a strong opponent!"

……

Linley left the gambling stone market and rushed straight to the bank.But it was still too late, it was already almost six o'clock, and the banks were closed.It appears that the check can only be cashed tomorrow.

He invited Wei Bo into a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and expressed his thanks to Wei Bo.

Wei Bo waved his hand and said, "Boss Lin, I actually didn't help you much. Even if I didn't tell you about the information about gambling stones that I told you, you can learn from other places. As for the selection of rough stones, that's all. Your own merits are not what I recommended to you. When I finally negotiated the price, I wanted to help, but I couldn't help. "

"It's just that you have been with me for so long today, and you still lost so much money. I feel really sorry." Linley replied, "Anyway, I made hundreds of thousands today, so I will make up for your loss today. ,how?"

"Don't don't, you don't get paid for nothing, so don't talk about money anymore. But... I have a merciless request. When you gamble with stones in the future, can you take me with you?"

"It's not that I don't take you with me, it's that I'm not a professional. I just stopped by today to join in the fun. It's my luck. I made some money when I came here for the first time. I plan to accept it as soon as it's good. I advise you And don't get addicted to it, no matter how much it is, just stop as long as you earn a little. Or change your career immediately and enter a more stable industry. Although betting on stones is exciting, it is not a long-term solution."

"I think so too, but I don't have any professional skills, so it's hard to find a job. You say you're a vegetable business? Do you have a high degree requirement? Or I'll hang out with you in the future."

"Uh..." Linley was stunned for a moment, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, all I do is a small business, and I can't even support myself, so how dare I drag you into troubled waters?"

In fact, Linley is very short of manpower now, especially after taking over Qingyun Company, the shortage of personnel will become even bigger.However, he is not someone who everyone is willing to take in, nor is anyone who can gain his trust.It was also the first time they met. He trusted Xiong Da and the others before because he believed in Ma Kui's judgment and the character of a soldier.At noon, I believed Lao Hou because Lao Hou's sincere eyes were very convincing.

As for Wei Bo, we just met each other by chance, so we don't know the details, the key is that we still can't see the character of this person.

He even had a sense of guard against Wei Bo.I always feel that Wei Bo is not as simple as it seems on the surface.He didn't understand why he felt this way.If you had to find a reason, it might be because Wei Bo was too enthusiastic about him.

Met a random person on the street, and then could be inseparable from him all day long?

He put himself in another position and thought about it. If he was in Wei Bo's perspective, he would definitely not do this.He believed that most people would not do this.In this way, Wei Bo, who looks normal on the surface, is actually different from ordinary people.

As for the specific differences, we can only summarize them slowly later...
