When An Wen walked into the study, his father was sitting behind the tea table, pouring a cup of tea.

Indeed, the tea table that his father was using was worth more than 7 million yuan.

Looking at the tea-table now, An Wen could not help but think that it was unworthy.

He then sat down on the stool in front of the tea table.

Remaining silent, he waited for his father to begin lecturing him.

“What are your plans for your stone material business?”

An Zhixin asked solemnly after pouring a cup of tea for An Wen.

“I don’t have any plans, I’ll just sell the stone to whoever wants it.”

An Wen was baffled. As he looked at the solemn expression on his father’s face, he thought to himself: Are there that many ways to run a stone material business?

An Zhixin shot a glance at An Wen before looking down to pick up the cup of tea on the tea table.

After taking a sip, he asked again, “What would you do if someone wanted to buy 10 thousand cubic meters of stone?”

Ten thousand cubic meters?

What kind of fool would buy such a large quantity of stone?

“Of course I’ll sell it! Even if I’m only selling it at one million yuan per cubic meter, 10 thousand cubic meters would amount to a total of 10 billion yuan… Eh… that seems too much.”

As An Wen spoke, he started feeling that something was amiss.

Ten billion yuan was slightly too large of an amount indeed. Even people who purchased gold and diamond did not seem to earn that much.

An Zhixin looked at An Wen, who appeared to be deep in thought, and probed further, “What would you do if someone wants to buy 100 thousand cubic meters of stone?”

“Eh… I won’t sell it then.” An Wen replied after giving it a thought.

“Haha… Is it solely your call whether or not you will make the deal?”

An Zhixin snorted coldly. He was extremely dissatisfied with An Wen’s reply.

At that juncture, An Wen finally understood.

He now knew why his father wanted to have a talk with him.

However, he had never once considered all of the problems his father was bringing up.

He had truly not put too much thought into the stone material business; all he thought about was earning money. Certainly, he had not considered other possible impacts of such.

Now, however, it appeared that earning money was not such a straightforward matter.

It would not be a great deal if he sold tens or hundreds of cubic meters of stone, for that was merely a small amount of money that his father could handle.

However, if he sold thousands or more cubic meters of stone, the sum of money involved would be huge.

There would surely be people who would grow jealous, seeing that An Wen’s father, who had worked earnestly for decades, did not earn as much as An Wen from selling thousands of cubic meters of stone.

If An Wen’s stone material was obtained by ordinary means, it would not be difficult to resolve the situation, since he could get people to join his business as partners and all of them could profit together.

However, the problem was that there was no way for An Wen to partner with other people in the business.

He could not possibly tell them that he obtained the stone from the other world, so it would absolutely be impossible for him to explain the source of his stone.

What a headache.

An Wen was perplexed, unable to think of any way to resolve the situation.

Unless he chose not to earn money from the stone, it was a problem that he ultimately had to face.

As An Zhixin watched his son scratching his head, he also began to grow a headache… Even his teeth were starting to hurt.

It’s my son, it’s my son.

I can’t be angry!

Holding up the teacup again, An Zhixin took another sip of tea and retrieved a kraft paper envelope from the cabinet at the side.

Splat!

The envelope landed in front of An Wen.

“Have a look.”

An Zhixin said gruffly as he shot a glance at An Wen.

What’s that?

An Wen glanced at his father to realize that he had no intention to explain.

Undoing the string of the envelope, he opened it to have a look at its contents.

“Purchase contract for 3000 cubic meters of Black Galaxy stone? It’s dated for the first half of the year with the delivery at the beginning of April?”

“An Ju Stone Material Wholesale Company, registered half a month ago by me, while the legal person is Mom? Is this my company? Since when did I own a company?”

“Tax receipt? Oh, it was reported according to the sales amount of 200 million yuan.”

“Special Grade Black Galaxy Stone Third-Party Examination and Verification Report?”
