Daily Intelligence System: Financial Independence

Temporarily interrupting the live broadcast.

Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo went together into a private meeting room.

Snap~

Jiang Tao opened the silver briefcase.

Inside, a completely black meteorite lay quietly.

This meteorite had an irregular pitted surface that looked like an ordinary piece of coal.

"Is this a meteorite? It’s huge!"

Zhang Bo exclaimed in surprise when he saw the stone in the briefcase!

As the Young Master of Boya Auction House, the future leader.

Although Zhang Bo’s knowledge of antiques and meteorites wasn’t as extensive as his dad Zhang Long’s, he still had some insight.

Jiang Tao smiled and said, "You’ve got a good eye, can you appraise it?"

"Ahem, Brother Tao, you know, I’m just an amateur in meteorites, this kind of thing is better handled by my dad."

Zhang Bo scratched his head a bit embarrassedly; his knowledge of meteorites was quite limited.

Every time Jiang Tao came over to sell meteorites, it was his dad Zhang Long who made the final pricing decision.

"Then give your dad a call, he’s probably gone fishing again, right?"

Jiang Tao chuckled.

Sometimes he envied Zhang Bo’s dad, Zhang Long.

By now, Zhang Long had mostly handed over the family business to Zhang Bo.

He went fishing every day, regardless of the weather, like clockwork.

"Brother Tao, hang on a moment, I’ll call my dad right away."

Zhang Bo didn’t waste words, took out his phone, and dialed his dad’s video call.

Brrr brrr brrr—

The video call connected in less than 10 seconds.

The screen flashed, showing a middle-aged man wearing a fishing hat with a tanned complexion.

The man was sitting on a fishing box with two fishing rods at his side; it was indeed Zhang Long fishing.

"Dad, Brother Tao’s here, he brought a stone for you to look at."

Zhang Bo, on connecting with his dad Zhang Long, didn’t bother with small talk, and directly turned the camera towards the stone in the briefcase.

"Wow! So big!"

Zhang Long was also quite surprised to see the meteorite weighing over 8 kilograms, and his previously lazy demeanor vanished instantly.

This was the largest meteorite he had ever seen!

"Son, bring the camera closer!"

"Yes, show me from all angles!"

"Especially those details of the fusion crust and gas impressions on the surface!"

Over the phone, Zhang Long instructed Zhang Bo to show the details of the meteorite through the camera.

With Zhang Bo’s cooperation, Zhang Long observed carefully for several minutes through the video, becoming increasingly excited.

"This is a big one, it’s a big one!"

"Son, tell Xiao Jiang to wait a bit, I’m heading back right away!"

"This could very well be a Martian meteorite! If verified, that would be incredible!"

"Okay, Dad, we’ll wait for you at the shop."

"Alright, I’m coming right back."

About half an hour later.

Zhang Long rushed into the shop and saw Jiang Tao and Zhang Bo drinking tea.

"Uncle Zhang, sorry to interrupt your fishing."

Seeing Zhang Long, Jiang Tao stood up with a grin and greeted him.

"Hahaha, when you say that, boy, I wish you’d bother me every day!"

Zhang Long laughed heartily, increasingly feeling that the new friend his son recently made was worth getting to know deeply.

Since the end of last year, Jiang Tao had been to Boya quite a few times.

From initially bringing valuable notes worth tens of thousands, to stones, Yuan Shikai coinage worth hundreds of thousands, to ancient copper coins and Auspicious Ingots worth hundreds of thousands.

This time, he even brought a meteorite worth millions, possibly over ten million!

Although Boya gave Jiang Tao the highest market price possible, cutting the profit pretty thin, there was still profit to be made.

Boya had already earned over a million from Jiang Tao.

Moreover, with Jiang Tao’s assistance, Zhang Bo managed to break into the "treasure appraisal live stream" field.

Though still having a significant gap with the number one Qingquan, it was considered a successful first step with substantial future potential.

Therefore, Zhang Long valued his son’s friend and frequently advised him to stay close to Jiang Tao.

After chatting for a while more, Zhang Long began using various tools and instruments for a more detailed and thorough appraisal of the meteorite Jiang Tao brought.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Long finally let out a long sigh, carefully setting down the meteorite, his eyes filled with awe.

Looking at Jiang Tao, Zhang Long said with utmost certainty:

"Congratulations, Xiao Jiang! This is indeed a very precious Martian meteorite!"

"Its composition, structure, and unique fusion crust characteristics all match known Martian meteorite samples."

"Currently, such meteorites are still quite rare worldwide, with high research and collection value!"

"Moreover, given its large size and weight, it could command a higher premium in price."

"According to current international market trends, if this meteorite is sent to Sotheby’s auction house, the final price should reach around 12 million."

After listening to Zhang Long’s analysis and valuation, Jiang Tao felt even more respect for him.

Uncle Zhang truly deserved his reputation as an antique veteran with decades of experience, truly professional!

The system’s valuation of this meteorite was also around 12 million!

"Besides sending it to Sotheby’s for auction, is there a faster way to sell it?"

Jiang Tao, familiar with auction house procedures, knew they involved various formalities, contracts, and fees, which was pretty cumbersome.

Moreover, the payment cycle after the auction was also quite long.

"Or, you could sell it directly to us, and we handle it, but... the price surely won’t be as high as direct auction."
