Chapter 59 - Unsuccessful Deal (1/2)

In the gem speculation industry, there were a lot of different ways to conduct business dealings like openly speculating and secretly doing it. Some people were like Qu Bai, who would book in advance from a company that had guaranteed good quality, so when a good jade was produced, they could have the first shot to get it.

Before the material was opened, the buyer who booked in advance had to bear all the risks; and the seller just had to sell it at two times the cost, which was a sure-win deal.

When the Qu family wanted to buy things, they never thought much about money. When Zhao Zhen was seriously considering it, he lightly added another condition. “I want to buy all the material that Yu Fu Jewelry bought this time.”

“All?” Zhao Zhen instantly gasped a breath of cold air as his face changed color. “Master Qu, Yu Fu Jewelry invested in five million dollars this time.” Five million dollars…

If he bought everything, it meant that Yu Fu Jewelry could safely earn five million dollars without any risk, and this amount was not a small sum in the entire Stone City.

However, Qu Bai did not even bat an eye. “If CEO Zhao is willing, I can immediately transfer the ten million dollars to you.”

Zhao Zhen was very tempted by such a huge sum of money, and there could never be someone who would not be tempted. He was even certain that Song Ye would not object to it so he looked at Song Ye emotionally, but her gaze immediately poured cold water all over him.

“If you drink too much wine, it will go to your head. Uncle Zhao, do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea?” Song Ye calmly poured him a cup of tea, and even though it was a question, her actions and hints were very obvious.

“Oh, hehe, yes, yes. I’m too emotional.” Zhao Zhen coughed dryly and patted his burning forehead before he recovered his calmness. “Master Qu, this thing is not urgent. Let’s sit down and talk about it slowly.”

Even though on the surface he was the one in charge of Yu Fu Jewelry, the owner was actually Song Ye; he had to seek her approval before he did anything. However, his heart was very cold when he drank the tea that Song Ye brought over.

Zhao Zhen was frozen until his teeth were sour and finally understood that Song Ye did not think well of this deal.

Besides, it was important to have some guts when doing business deals. From the moment she gave the cup of tea to him, Qu Bai also noticed the change in atmosphere. If he did not continue to show his cards, it would be hard to close the deal.

“To be honest, CEO Zhao, I’m helping Young Master Qin find something. If the quality of the jade is good enough, you can make any requests in terms of the price.” Qu Bai grasped the timing well and pulled out the biggest wealth source.

Not only was Zhao Zhen stunned, but even Song Ye—who was always calm and collected—had a reaction.

It turned out to be Qin Zhan who wanted to find jade.

When this idea flashed in her mind, Song Ye decided to not be polite and poured a cup of water for Zhao Zhen. Then, she pretended to be ignorant and said, “Uncle Zhao, I thought we will only know if the jade of the material is good after we take it out. If we find good things in it but we sold it, then won’t we be at a loss?”

The fifteen-year-old child’s voice was child-like and filled with naivety as she talked without cutting any corners.

Qu Bai’s face tensed up and confirmed that Song Ye was just causing trouble. In business, they hated to be seen through. He liked the gems at Yu Fu Jewelry and knew that Zhao Zhen was not smart enough so he wanted to push the price down. However, when Song Ye caused havoc, how could he continue with his business dealing?
