The unit price of this batch of fruit exported abroad is not as high as everyone imagines. After all, we still need to leave some profit for our partners. We just doubled the cost slightly before exporting it!

Chatchai had thoroughly researched Zhang Long, the fruit tycoon. After seeing the purchase price and comparing it with the prices from his own supply channels, he immediately came up with a selling price: add the tariff and multiply by 3!

Then there's the issue of quality. If the quality is really as good as he understands, then the price should double again.

If Zhang Long knew what Chatchai was thinking right now, he would definitely give this partner a good dressing down, saying that his heart was truly black-hearted, and then praise him for doing a great job!

The higher the price, the higher the status of the dragon fruit industry.

Many people in China like this kind of thinking, believing that buying expensive things is always the right choice.

That night, Zhang Long stayed at the manor. Chachai specifically instructed the manor's steward to "make sure" his "distinguished guest" was well entertained and to satisfy him as much as possible.

After making the arrangements, Chhachai left in a hurry.

After all, he was one of the core members of the Yukun family, and he had to report to the family on matters that required the family's support.

The patriarch of the Yu Kun family didn't care too much. Since Zhang Long had saved his grandson, it was only right to give him some reward.

Chatchai is quite shrewd. He wants to keep his business dealings with Zhang Long a secret for now. If it's exposed now, it will definitely cause complications. He'll make it public after everything has settled down.

After all, there are so many people in the family, and quite a few core figures are competing with him. There are only a few positions at the top, and everyone wants to be in one spot. So what can be done? They can only fight for it!

Living in such a top-tier wealthy family is not easy. If you want to become a person in power within the family, you have to demonstrate your value.

Of course, it's fine to only care about enjoying yourself, but that only applies to your own generation. The next generation will just be ordinary members.

Without the power of core members, they will become just one of the leaves of this great tree after a few generations.

Zheng Xia's negotiation team arrived the next day, and Zhang Long arranged for them to stay in the closest five-star hotel to the manor.

He also asked the housekeeper to keep an eye on these people, lest they be "taken care of" by the local gang.

In foreign countries, especially in small Southeast Asian countries, the DZ forces have been very active in recent years. It's better to be safe than sorry, so it's always better to be cautious.

That day, Zhang Long and Xin Xin strolled to an antique street in Bangkok. In recent years, there has been a craze for antiques in China, and Southeast Asian countries have also joined in the fun.

Zhang Long and his companion walked up to a vendor, squatted down, picked up a silver coin, and examined it. The patina was excellent; it was clearly a genuine product.

It's just so-so, nothing special. Most of the hundreds of silver coins on this stall are fake.

These are all used to scam tourists from China. During peak tourist seasons, these vendors can easily earn over 10,000 yuan a day.

Zhang Long casually asked in Thai, "How much does this thing cost?"

When the vendor heard that the other person was speaking Thai and didn't seem to be a local, he quoted a price of 1,000 baht.

Zhang Long did some mental calculations and figured it would be worth around 300 RMB. He could make a small profit of 700 RMB by bringing it back.

But thinking about it, I decided to pass on this ordinary item and casually tossed the silver dollar down.

Just as he was about to get up, he noticed two interesting things.

He picked up the two silver coins that had been pressed down from where the first silver coin had been and examined them carefully.

"Huh?"

"Isn't this a Qianbao silver coin?"

"How did this thing end up in Thailand?"

These two silver dollars are in so-so condition, but they are genuine.

Zhang Long picked out a few more fake coins from the stall and then took them away for 5,000 Thai baht.

Whether it's a big or small bargain, I'm happy to find it!

I made a small profit!

However, he didn't expect that his good luck was yet to come. He actually stumbled upon an incredible windfall, a windfall he could brag about for the rest of his life!

Zhang Long strolled leisurely, looking around at the various stalls. Whenever there were stalls selling domestic silver dollars or old coins, he would stop and take a look.

Time flies, and it's already eleven o'clock. We're almost at the end of this antique street.

Suddenly he saw a shop selling Buddha statues. Buddhism is very developed in Thailand, with countless temples and many people having Buddha statues in their homes.

Many shops that sell Buddha statues collaborate with temples.

It is said that some Buddha statues have been blessed by various masters, which has led to a surge in their prices. For example, many people from the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industry used to come here specifically to acquire Buddha statues.

He wasn't interested in these things at first, but on a sudden whim, he went inside.

I was startled as soon as I stepped inside.

The reason he was frightened was that he had triggered the system's hidden task once again.

"bite!"

Congratulations, host, for triggering a hidden quest—the return of a national treasure.

Mission objective: Please bring at least one of the twelve bronze animal heads from the Old Summer Palace back to the motherland.

Task rewards: Determined based on task completion rate.

“What the hell, what the hell, what the hell!!!”

"What does this mean?!"

"Could this shop be hiding at least one of the twelve bronze animal heads from the Old Summer Palace?!"

So he started looking around. The shop was full of all kinds of Buddha statues, big and small.

This shop has at least several hundred to several thousand Buddha statues.

Having no other choice, he had to use the process of elimination. The twelve bronze animal heads of the Yuanmingyuan should be very large, so he would eliminate these small Buddha statues first.

Otherwise, did they melt down the animal heads and turn them into bronze Buddha statues?

What kind of return is that?!

You can't exactly bring a Buddha statue back and tell people that it's a transformation of an old animal head!

After eliminating the small Buddha statues, things become much simpler, leaving only seven large stone Buddha statues.

The term "large Buddha statue" is relative; these seven Buddha statues have different appearances, some are dignified and graceful, some are fierce and menacing, and some are in a half-dreaming state.

But they all have one thing in common: they are big, the kind that can fit an animal head inside.

The prevailing attitude now is to rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free, so let's just be straightforward and bring them all back.

Then, they chatted happily with the shop owner in Thai, and through bargaining, finally bought all seven stone Buddha statues for 100,000 baht each.

During this time, Hu Xinxin remained silent and just watched Zhang Long perform.

Zhang Long must have discovered something extraordinary, otherwise why would someone who has little interest in Buddhism suddenly bring back so many Buddha statues?
