The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism-Chapter 1405: Scheme 2

"But why would our company do that?

"First, it's to respond to the national appeal.

"Second, it's to advertise for our company. Once everyone has fun, you can help our company advertise more when you return."

When everyone heard that, they nodded and said, "Don't worry, Tour Guide Li. Once we're done having fun, we will definitely help you promote it."

"That's good. After a short time together, everyone should be able to tell that I'm not someone who likes to beat around the bush. I'm an honest and straightforward person. If there's anything you want to say, don't hide, and don't beat around the bust," Tour Guide Li said.

Everyone nodded as Red Boy nodded.

Fang Yunjing frowned. Fangzheng shot a glance at Fang Yunjing and smiled. He did not nod or say a word as he watched silently.

Seeing that everyone was nodding, Tour Guide Li continued, "Then I'll let everyone know another piece of news."

Everyone's interest was piqued when they heard that. Those that were dozing off stopped dozing off. They all looked up at Tour Guide Li.

Tour Guide Li said, "Actually, our company has sponsors."

Everyone was puzzled.

Tour Guide Li continued, "Everyone can see that we're on the highway. That way, we can reach our destination quickly and save everyone's time. But we didn't include it in the group pricing, so where do we get the money from? Also, where do we get the money for the next series of events? If our company pays for it, that would be a huge loss.

"This event is mainly sponsored by a large company. In other words, the money that everyone paid is only the fee for joining the tour group. The company will pay for the entertainment that everyone will be enjoying later."

Red Boy could not help but ask, "Then why would a large company pay for us?"

Tour Guide Li said, "There's no free lunch in this world. The sponsor is naturally doing it for fame. Therefore, from now on, please remember the name of this company—Dark Red Jade Limited."

Everyone silently memorized it.

Tour Guide Li said, "In a while, we will pass by a branch of Dark Red Jade Limited. But don't worry, there's no need to spend a single yuan. On the contrary, the water inside is free of charge. Everyone can drink as they please. Everyone can take a simple rest there and all I need to do is sign something to prove that I brought everyone over. It's not a waste of the sponsor's money. Therefore, please wait patiently when we alight later."

Everyone frowned slightly, but Tour Guide Li kept emphasizing that there was no need for shopping, so everyone kept quiet.

Fangzheng saw a smile in the depths of Tour Guide Li's eyes. As for the smile, Fangzheng was very familiar with it. It was the smile of a fisherman when a fish bit at the bait…

Fang Yunjing said, "Can we not get down?"

Tour Guide Li shook her head and said, "I have to sign something later. If some get off the bus while others don't, it will be troublesome if anything gets lost. Therefore, according to the requirements, everyone must alight. Little Sister, don't worry. I guarantee that there won't be any compulsory expenses. If there is, everyone can immediately lodge a complaint."

At this point, Fang Yunjing did not know what to say. She nodded silently and kept quiet.

Soon, the bus turned into a small road. At the end of the road, there was a factory building. The bus entered the yard and stopped. The moment Fangzheng got out of the bus, he saw two huge red rocks placed at the entrance of the factory. Although Fangzheng wasn't knowledgeable, he could tell at a glance that these rocks were good stuff.

Everyone alighted. For some reason, Fang Yunjing followed Fangzheng and Red Boy.

At this moment, Tour Guide Li shouted, "Come, come, everyone, take a look. This is one of the branches of Dark Red Jade Limited. However, the things here are basically not for sale. This is just the display area, and the factory behind is the processing area. Therefore, the stones displayed here are mainly for suppliers, and not for sale."

Upon hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Tour Guide Li walked to a large red stone and patted it, saying, "Everyone, come and take a look at this stone. It's a piece of oriental jasper that hasn't been polished. But from the edge of the stone, everyone should be able to tell that there is good stuff in it. But just look at it because it's impossible to buy it. It has already been reserved by a rich businessman in Hong Kong. Guess how much this stone is worth?"

Everyone shook their heads in confusion.

Tour Guide Li smiled and said, "This stone is worth 300 million!"

Everyone was astonished. Fangzheng did the same as well. In fact, he couldn't figure out why a stone was so expensive.

However, when he recalled the price of Frost Bamboo tea being bid to the heavens, he came to a realization. Thinking of the Frost Bamboo tea, Fangzheng felt a little guilty. Back when he was trying to save people, the System had taken back everything, including Frost Bamboo.

Therefore, Fangzheng believed that he would need to extract a Frost Bamboo seed in the future. Then, he would head to One Finger Village to plant it again to restart the Frost Bamboo tea business again. This would make up for what he had done to the villagers of One Finger Village, Nguyen Vo Ming, who had invested in Frost Bamboo tea, as well as Yalman and company.

"Everyone, look at this color. As the saying goes, wealth comes from the body. Come over and touch it and get some of its wealth. That way, you'll be lucky this year. You'll earn a lot of money and make a fortune!" Tour Guide Li shouted. Everyone was curious and went forward to touch it.

Fangzheng remained motionless.

Fang Yunjing asked curiously, "Why aren't you touching it?"

Fangzheng smiled. "You can get rich just by touching it? Tour Guide Li touches it everyday, but she's still a tour guide."

Fang Yunjing was stunned for a moment before she burst out laughing, "You… Heh heh… That's right. I won't touch it either."

When everyone was done, Tour Guide Li brought everyone to another big rock. This red piece of stone did not lie horizontally, but stood vertically, like a small mountain.

Tour Guide Li continued, "This one is the same as the one over there. However, this one is polished oriental jasper. You can touch it too."

The tourists swarmed over again, touched it, and took photos.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Tour Guide Li waved her hand and said, "Everyone, follow me now. We'll head to the resting area to have a break and have a casual walk around. I'll do the signing, and once I'm done, we'll leave."

Thus, everyone obediently followed her and entered the main door. The interior was decorated beautifully and the lights were dazzling. More importantly, there were large pieces of oriental jasper every three steps. Every piece of rock had a variety of labels, as well as price tags. They had listed prices of millions to a few hundred million. Some were not for sale.

At the same time, there were photos on both sides of the wall. It included the developmental history of the Dark Red Jade Limited, as well as pictures of an old chairman and of interviews with the various major television stations, as well as summaries.
