Chapter 364 Big Money Boss
Banxia said in surprise, "This… this… is this real diamond?"
As a woman, she was well aware of the value of diamonds; a single one could easily fetch a six or seven-figure price. If all of these were real, their value would be immeasurable.
Da Qiang said, "The way you put it, how could something Ye Bufan brings out be fake?"
"I didn't mean that, but, it's just…"
The intense shock made Banxia a little incoherent. She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and said, "I mean, where did so many diamonds come from?"
Da Qiang said, "Does that even need asking? Ye Bufan just returned from Africa; he must have bought them from there."
His thinking was very direct, because Africa is rich in diamonds, and one can buy them with money.
"That's not very likely, is it?" Banxia organized her thoughts and said, "So many diamonds would probably require tens of billions in funds, and Ye Bufan didn't use any funds from us. Where did he get so much money?
Besides, bringing so many diamonds in and out of the country at once, I'm afraid they wouldn't even pass customs."
Da Qiang scratched his head, realizing his consideration was too simple, and said awkwardly, "Does… does this stuff cost that much money?"
Banxia said, "Of course it does. These are diamonds, not stones! One hundred billion is just my initial estimate; the actual calculation might be even more."
At this, Da Qiang also looked at Ye Bufan: "Ye Bufan, how did you get them back?"
"You don't need to worry about that," Ye Bufan said, "With these diamonds, the raw Materials for the jade industry base won't be a problem for a short time."
Chu Chu and the others nodded. With so many diamonds, even if production increased, it would be enough for at least three to five years.
Banxia said, "Ye Bufan, how much did you spend to buy these diamonds? If it's too much, the company's funds might not be enough for a short period."
Although Brothers Investment Company had a total of 20 billion in funds, that was the total capital for the jade industry base, the film and television city, and tourism investment.
And a large sum would be spent on infrastructure investment. If over 10 billion were used to purchase so many diamonds, it would clearly make the investment somewhat imbalanced.
Ye Bufan said, "No money needed. I can't be the chairman for nothing. These diamonds will count as my investment."
Da Qiang immediately said, "How can that be? It was agreed that the 51% shares were given to you. How can we make you spend money?
Like this, I'll immediately tell my dad

to allocate more money."
After speaking, he pulled out his phone to call Gao Jiajun, but Ye Bufan stopped him.
"Da Qiang, we've already agreed that we're Brothers; there's no need to be so clear about money."
"But…"
Da Qiang was about to say something else when Ye Bufan said, "There's nothing to 'but' about. Actually, I didn't spend much money on these diamonds."
"No money?"
Everyone looked astonished, not understanding how so many diamonds could be obtained without spending money.
"It's like this: when I went there, I happened to catch a large tribe suffering from a plague. I helped them treat it, and to show their gratitude, they gave me so many diamonds."
Some things were inconvenient to explain clearly to everyone, so Ye Bufan found this reason, slightly altering what happened with the Zuma Tribe.
Hearing him say this, the others didn't think much of it. With so many diamonds as a backing, the jade industry base was pretty much set; the rest was just to proceed step by step.
Banxia continued, "In terms of investment in the film and television industry, we have no foundation whatsoever. We need to find a strong partner. We have money; the other party needs to have resources in this area."
Ye Bufan said, "It is said that the Tian Family has a strong foundation in the film and television industry. How about them as a partner?"
Da Qiang said, "Those brats from the Tian Family provoked you and have already been blacklisted by my dad. There's no need to cooperate with them."
Ye Bufan said, "Those are minor matters, and the Tian Family has already bowed their heads. Don't consider other factors; just see if they are suitable as a partner."
Banxia said, "The Tian Family has been involved in the film and television industry for many years and owns a good film and television company. If other factors are disregarded, they are indeed a very good partner."
Ye Bufan said, "Then it's settled. Later, people from the Tian Family will actively seek us out for cooperation talks. At that time, feel free to ask for a higher price."
Afterward, they discussed some specific work details, and the meeting concluded.
Leaving the conference room, Ye Bufan said to Dao Niangzi, who was guarding the door, "When are you going to handle your matter?"
He knew that for Dao Niangzi, the biggest matter was revenge.
A hint of hatred flashed in Dao Niangzi's eyes, but she still said rationally, "I want to wait a little longer, until I advance further and reach the Grandmaster Realm. That way, I'll have more confidence in my revenge."
Ye Bufan said, "Is there anything
(End of chapter, please turn page)
you need my help with? Just say so."
Dao Niangzi said, "I want to get revenge with my own hands."
"Alright, you stabilize your cultivation first. After a while, I'll refine some Medicinal Pills to help you improve your cultivation."
"Mm!" Dao Niangzi nodded, "Once I've taken my revenge, my life will belong to the boss."
"No need to say so much. From now on, we are family."
Ye Bufan sent her to the Zui Jiangnan Grand Restaurant.
Now that Da Qiang's family was reunited and Xia Zihan had left, the task of protecting Ouyang Lan was given to Dao Niangzi.
In the five-star suite of the Zui Jiangnan Grand Restaurant, Shang Tiantian got out of bed and tried her voice. There was no sign of improvement; in fact, her voice was even hoarser than yesterday.
Just then, her phone on the bedside rang. She looked at the caller ID; it was a call from her big patron.
It was no wonder, though. The news about her being a transvestite was causing a huge uproar online, and even if her big patron didn't use the internet, he couldn't possibly be unaware.
After hesitating for a moment, she said to her assistant, "You answer it. Just explain the situation clearly."
She was afraid her voice would sound too unpleasant and scare off her big patron, so she could only let her assistant answer the phone.
The assistant nodded, picked up the phone, and pressed the answer button.
From the other end of the line, a deep voice came: "What exactly is going on? Give me an explanation."
"Mr. Gao, it's like this…"
The assistant first stated her identity, then proceeded to explain the situation in detail, starting from when Shang Tiantian had a conflict with Ye Bufan.
Finally, she said, "According to Young Miss Shang's speculation, this matter must be related to that little doctor."
"Bastard!" A crash came from the other end, clearly something being smashed. "A mere little doctor, daring to touch my woman."
At this moment, Shang Tiantian couldn't hold back her grievances and sobbed, "My dear, you must help me!"
Although the other party had some mental preparation, hearing a man's voice call him 'my dear' still made him get goosebumps.
But unexpectedly, the other side roared at her again: "You trouble-making woman! If you mess up my big plans, I'll sell you to Africa and make you ****** there."
Shang Tiantian was startled and habitually pouted, "My dear, I really can't be blamed for this. That guy was too overbearing, and my bodyguards were no match for him."
