Chapter 254 Is he just bored out of his mind?
He felt that the two times he had provoked Zhang Dong, he had been dealt with badly each time.
So when he learned that his son had been brutally beaten, he only scolded Zhang Dong in front of his son. Now, hearing his subordinate explain the situation—that Zhang Dong had bought an abandoned mine—Wang Jianguo's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.
"There's no doubt that this kid may not have the ability to predict the future, but the fact that he's buying this mine means that it still has value for further development and utilization. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
Wang Dong was very dissatisfied when he heard Wang Jianguo say that.
"Dad, isn't what you're saying tantamount to admitting that this kid has the ability to predict the future?"
When he heard his son contradict him, Wang Jianguo's eyes widened.
“Shut up. Zhang Dong is about your age. He started from scratch and has achieved this.”
"Look at you, what do you do every day? Besides feeding the dog, walking the bird, and chasing girls, what do you have that can compare to Zhang Dong?"
"What right do you have to look down on others?"
Hearing his father scold him angrily, Wang Dong's face darkened.
He felt that what his father said was indeed true. Ever since this kid extorted a mine from their family, it was as if he had a cheat code, and he rose to prominence overnight.
At such a young age, he has already diversified his business across industries and now has assets worth over a billion yuan.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Dong has now far surpassed the Wang family in terms of assets...
He then realized why his father hadn't attacked Zhang Dong after he had been beaten recently.
It turned out that they had realized that if they attacked the other party again, they would have no chance of winning.
Even in that situation back then, when his family had the upper hand, his father still didn't gain the slightest advantage over Zhang Dong.
Moreover, he is now a well-known young talent.
Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but feel incredibly ashamed, so he obediently shut his mouth...
Seeing that his son had finally stopped talking, Wang Jianguo turned his gaze back to his lackeys.
"Next, you should continue to monitor Zhang Dong's situation and see what kind of scheme he's up to."
Wang Jianguo sensed that Zhang Dong had been operating across industries, but recently he had suddenly made a big move in the mining sector, something he had to pay close attention to and be wary of.
Of course, after taking it seriously, he also wanted to learn from Zhang Dong's experience...
A few days later, at Wang Jianguo's home, several of his henchmen came to report again.
"Boss, this Zhang Dong guy has been making a lot of big moves these past few days. He's bought three more abandoned mines, and at rock-bottom prices..."
"What? They bought three more abandoned mines?"
Wang Jianguo muttered to himself in shock, his big eyes darting around furtively.
"Including the one he bought before, this kid bought four abandoned mines in just a few days?"
"Have you investigated thoroughly? What exactly is this kid trying to do?"
"Boss, we are also puzzled, so we specifically sent our subordinates to follow up on this matter."
"After Zhang Dong bought these four mines, he left Snail Village and did not make any further purchases..."
"Oh, he's already left. Then keep an eye on him. I have a feeling that this time, he won't be gone for long and will be back soon."
Wang Jianguo also felt that after Zhang Dong bought the abandoned mine, he wouldn't just leave it idle; there would definitely be follow-up actions...
A dozen days later, Wang Jianguo received the news again.
"Boss, you really are amazing! You guessed right. Zhang Dong really did come back with his men."
"What? There's been some activity from Zhangdong?"
Wang Jianguo, who was drinking tea, quickly put down his teacup: "Tell me quickly, who did this kid bring back?"
"Boss, we've investigated and found out that the guy brought some experts and scholars in geology and mineral resources."
“I heard that these elderly men who came are all experts in mining research and development.”
"Oh, is that so?"
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Wang Jianguo stood up abruptly.
"So, those four abandoned mines that Zhang Dong bought before weren't actually abandoned, but still have great mining value?"
Wang Jianguo wasn't stupid; he immediately thought of this.
The boss's words left his lackeys completely bewildered.
"Boss, that's not right. These four mines previously belonged to two different bosses. When Zhang Tong bought these abandoned mines, the two bosses were overjoyed, since they thought these mines had no mining value and were essentially useless."
"But Zhang Dong paid for them, so the two bosses were very excited at the time."
"That's strange. Those two bosses aren't fools, are they? If there really is mining value, why wouldn't they continue developing it?"
"Well?" Wang Jianguo frowned. "I think you've all guessed wrong. These two bosses are really fools."
"What? Those two owners who sell scrap metal are idiots?"
Wang Jianguo's subordinates were quite surprised by what he said.
Wang Jianguo said firmly, "That's right. If you don't believe me, keep gathering information and see if what I said is true or not."
"Think about it, if these four mines have no exploitation value, why would Zhang Dong bring so many mineral development experts and scholars here to conduct research? Is he just bored out of his mind?"
"This... this, boss, things are indeed strange."
Wang Jianguo was speculating about the situation with a few henchmen when two more of his men entered.
"Boss, the situation has changed dramatically. That Zhang Dong is fucking amazing. It's like magic. The four abandoned mines he bought have all been assessed by experts as having great mining value."
“The owner who sold the mines previously only scratched the surface of these four mines.”
"According to those experts, the truly valuable mineral resources have not yet been developed..."
"What? It's like this?"
Those lackeys who were standing next to Wang Jianguo just now, who had been full of doubts, were now full of shock.
"Boss, this is too mysterious! How does this kid know about those mines, even though only a small part of them have been developed?"
"To put it bluntly, in the world of antiques, this kid has struck gold."
"You're right, it's an absolute steal. Four mines, and the other owners have only scratched the surface. This... this..."
"Damn it, Zhang Dong is really unpredictable."
Listening to his subordinates' exclamations, Wang Jianguo kept gasping for breath.
At that moment, his eyes narrowed.
