Moreover, it seemed that their relationship was quite good and equal. Could this young man also be someone of the same caliber as Song Hushan While he was lost in thought, he saw Xiao Yu enter the ba...Chapter 49: Sheep Fat White Jade

Doubtfully, Mr. Chen glanced at Xiao Yu. He did have some good jade pieces; as a well-known soft jade retailer in the entire ancient city area, he had quite a few quality items in his possession. Since his hometown was in the same city where the demand for soft jade was very low, he opened a small branch store here to sell medium and lower-grade soft jades.

Although Mr. Chen looked at Xiao Yu with some suspicion, as a seasoned businessman who had achieved certain success, he understood that one cannot judge a book by its cover. Therefore, he quickly said, "I do have some! But they're not here; I keep them at my place!"

"Oh... would it be convenient for me to come over and take a look" Xiao Yu thought for a moment and asked. If Mr. Chen really had good jade pieces, he wouldn't mind making the trip since his nephew's first birthday was the next day.

"I'm in business; what could possibly be inconvenient!" Mr. Chen laughed heartily.

After leaving 'Honesty Mall,' Mr. Chen led Xiao Yu to a parking lot where he got into an Audi that he had parked there and drove towards the city's western suburbs. On the way, Mr. Chen handed a business card to Xiao Yu; it read 'Chen Ying, General Manager of Hetian Jade Jewelry Co., Ltd.' Xiao Yu looked at Chen Ying with surprise; he had heard about Hetian Jade Jewelry Company, which was well-known not only in the ancient city but also in the provincial capital for being a dedicated soft jade retailer. He never would have imagined that this chubby man was the president of Hetian Jade Jewelry.

"I'm Xiao Yu and I don't have a business card just yet!" Xiao Yu put away Chen Ying's card into his wallet and said nonchalantly.

"Oh, where does Brother Xiao make his fortune" Chen Ying asked casually as he drove.

"Make my fortune I'm just a doctor... an intern doctor," Xiao Yu chuckled wryly. He never expected that even though he didn't like medicine, he would still end up on this path.

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at a hot spring villa community in the west of the city.

This hot spring villa community was almost household-name throughout Tong City, though it had only been built for a few years. When it was constructed, over 1 billion yuan was invested, and when it was first built, the government publicized it extensively as a model for attracting investment. Even though Xiao Yu hadn't visited this place before, he knew that it was a leisurely resort town combining relaxation, hot springs, business, and residential functions.

When this community was just completed, it could be considered a beautiful sight in the backward Tong City. Its European-style architecture stood out as one of the best in the old city area.

Only when Xiao Yu's car entered the hot spring villa did he gain an overview of the place.

A man-made lake measuring 200 meters in circumference was adorned with small bridges and boats. Green trees surrounded it on both sides, while adjacent to the lake was a golf course as large as two football fields, where several people were chatting and swinging their clubs.

Further inside, an enormous building stood out, with the golden characters "Hot Spring Center" prominently displayed above its entrance. Around these leisure facilities, numerous villas were built, resembling stars encircling the moon.

Following a quiet path, they quickly arrived at the front door of a standalone villa.

The moment Xiao Yu entered the courtyard through his car window, he was immediately impressed by the spacious yard. To the north stood a three-story villa with a bright and elegant style, situated amidst green trees and grass.

On the lawn in front of the main door of the villa, a path made of pebbles ran through it, creating a pleasant scene to look at.

Chen Ying drove the car to a large garage on the west side, and the two of them walked towards the villa.

In Chen Ying's study room, Chen Ying took out more than ten blocks of Hetian white jade. Upon seeing these pieces of jade, Xiao Yu frowned and asked Chen Ying: "General Manager Chen, is this all Although they are not bad, they are just low-grade white jades. Do you have any better ones"

Hearing this, Chen Ying was immediately surprised. He knew the quality of these pieces of jade; although they were not top-notch, they were still considered high-quality Hetian white jades. Don't underestimate their value—each piece started at a minimum price of 100,000 yuan and were definitely luxury goods in Tong City. Unexpectedly, this seemingly inconsequential doctor was still unsatisfied! Could it be that he has intentions to snatch them

Chen Ying then laughed at himself, finding his sudden suspicion ridiculous. He wouldn't choose to rob here even if he wanted to! Although he had grown out of judging people by their appearance over the years, he was still far from perfect in this regard. Just now, he had subjectively assumed Xiao Yu couldn’t afford the top-grade pieces. From now on, he must be more cautious. This is also a key factor for Chen Ying's success—after every matter, he would reflect and ensure not to repeat mistakes.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying took out an exquisite wooden box from his safe and opened it, revealing three blocks of white jade inside. Xiao Yu glanced at them; the jade was smooth and lustrous like fat from a sheep, which is known as fatty lamb jade. Although not the best quality, it still stood out in its beauty. Xiao Yu didn't expect to find such high-quality jade in this small city.

"Hm, I didn’t expect General Manager Chen to have even better jades here!" said Xiao Yu after looking at the jade.

"Hehe, these are newly arrived goods which were supposed to be sent to our branch store in Yan City, the capital. But as I’ve been busy recently and haven't had time to go there yet. If you wait another two days, Xiao Brother, you might not see such fine jades here," Chen Ying said happily upon hearing Xiao Yu’s compliment on his jade.

"How about it Which one do you like I’ll give you a discount!" Chen Ying looked at Xiao Yu and said.

Looking at these pieces of jade, Xiao Yu thought that although he was making just one piece for his nephew now, there were still his mother and sister to consider. He might need them someday as well, not to mention friends who might also require such items. Moreover, with only over ten million yuan in hand, even though he didn't place much importance on money, he should strive to make a good life for his family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu looked at Chen Ying pointing to the three pieces of top-quality white jade lotus inside the box and said, "Mr. Chen, I'll take these few pieces of jade that you have as well as those over there! Please give me a price."

Hearing this, Chen Ying looked at Xiao Yu in surprise. He had thought highly of Xiao Yu because it was unlikely for someone without several million to spend to buy top-quality white jade with millions. However, he hadn't expected that his estimation of Xiao Yu's capabilities might have been a bit low since these pieces of jade hadn’t even sold after being on the market for nearly a year in the provincial capital city of Yan Cheng.

"Come here, Brother Xiao, try this Rain Before Dragon Well tea while we chat!"

Seeing that this young man wanted to buy an amount close to his entire year's sales volume at once made Chen Ying even more enthusiastic.

Chen Ying carefully calculated the value of the jade in front of him. After about ten minutes, he looked up and said, "The total value of these three top-quality white jades and Hetian white jades is five million one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. Just pay me five million!"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "Alright then, let's head to the city bank so I can transfer the money to you."

Chen Ying laughed and said, "Ha ha, Brother Xiao, you may not know that there is actually a bank right in this residential complex. There’s also an agency company here specifically for drawing up contracts. We’ll talk business as business partners; I think it's best to draft a contract now. This way we can both feel more at ease!"

The two of them left and got into Chen Ying's car, heading towards the commercial center in their residential complex.

"Since all the residents here are businesspeople, they sometimes inadvertently strike deals with each other. So when this place was being developed, these aspects were already taken into consideration. The boss who runs this place reportedly has tremendous power and influence in Beijing and a strong background to boot. He managed to get a bank directly connected to high-level connections to set up shop here."al committee and explained what had happened.
