Chapter 631: Fifteen Billion Yuan

Yu Ding Xuan was also the Lord of Jade’s lodgings. His office was also the living room, so huge that it was scary. The bright lights shone onto the ancient Chinese-style decorations, showcasing a magnificent modern atmosphere.

In the Lord of Jade’s “office”, there was Ling Yun, Long Wu, Song Zhengyang, Murong Wenshi, Murong Feixue, Han Laosan, and more than twenty people in the living room.

The Lord of Jade personally brewed some tea for Ling Yun. It was the best Kungfu Tea, soaking the house in fragrance.

The firecrackers roared outside, exploding with joy and celebration for Ling Yun.

It was the first time Tang Meng had the chance to step into the office of the Lord of Jade. He didn’t take the chance, however, preferring to stand guard over the Imperial green jade. He felt as though he was losing money as the security guards took one more glance at it.

Tie Xiaohu and his brothers from Green Dragon stood guard by the three carts of raw stones Ling Yun picked. The stones in the three carts were worth so much more to Ling Yun than the King of Stones.

The more than a dozen spatial spiritual stones within the load were priceless to him.

“Eighty million yuan of trash flipped at least a hundred times in the hands of my little pal, Ling Yun. You have really proved us wrong…”

The Lord of Jade prepared tea while Han Laosan, who was by the Lord of Jade’s side almost every day, jested as he played host.

Ling Yun was slightly embarrassed by Han Laosan’s jokes. He scratched his head and smiled. “I can return this King of Stones and the three carts of stones to you if you’re regretting your decisions…”

Ling Yun was obviously joking. The Lord of Jade wouldn’t need to appear in the stone gambling arena any longer if he even dared to do that. Ling Yun wouldn’t let him off either.

“Really?”

“Clank!” A teacup broke as it slipped out of the shaking hands of the agitated Lord of Jade.

Han Laosan was tempted by Ling Yun’s words as well but changed it into a laugh instantly. “My little pal here is really extraordinary. He knows that we won’t regret it but insists on making such a joke…”

“Pardon my shameful conduct…” The Lord of Jade didn’t clean up the broken cup but proceeded to pour Ling Yun a cup of the freshly brewed tea. His tea ceremony skills were exquisite and elegant.

“Two hundred million for a chance to cut such a King of Stones. It’s so worth it…”

The Lord of Jade handed the cup of tea to Ling Yun with a respectful smile.

No wonder Ling Yun repeatedly emphasized that this King of Stones was to be the treasure to ward off evil spirits. His own treasure was nothing compared to the value of this King of Stones. It was worth at least a hundred times more.

Of course, it was exactly the opposite in the eyes of Ling Yun. To him, the biggest treasure was the Green Dragon Out at Sea.

Ling Yun took a sip of the finely brewed tea and praised it. He then put the teacup on the table and proceeded to take out a checkbook from his pocket. He signed a check for five hundred million yuan and gave it to the Lord of Jade.

“Lord of Jade, I cannot take your treasure for free. I heard that the highest offer last year was four hundred million yuan. I won’t negotiate with you and would like to just give you five hundred million yuan for it. What do you think?”

Song Zhengyang and Murong Wenshi couldn’t help but nod to each other secretly. Ling Yun was one of a kind. Everything he did was out of the norm. The Lord of Jade said that he wouldn’t take a single yuan, but Ling Yun offered him five hundred million instead.

However, with that Imperial green jade and that candied gourd, five hundred million yuan was simply a hair on his body. It wasn’t something to be concerned about.

The Lord of Jade pretended to give a sigh and took the check. He quickly returned it to Ling Yun. “Ling Yun, please ask everyone here. I, Yu Shengjin, have two principles for doing business. First, credibility. Second, keeping true to what I say. I have never lost anyone’s trust in me.”

“As to why I accidentally broke a cup just now, it wasn’t because of the value of the King of Stones, but my little pal’s spirit…”

Song Zhengyang didn’t wait for the Lord of Jade to finish speaking. “Ling Yun, I can guarantee that the Lord of Jade is a man of his word. Put away your five hundred million yuan check!”

Ling Yun didn’t push it further. He simply pocketed the check and smiled. “What can I do for you, Lord of Jade?”

Ling Yun didn’t want to have dinner there. He had to go to Lin Menghan’s house to eat tonight. His future father-in-law would be there waiting for him.

The Lord of Jade sat straight up and exchanged glances with many of his best clients. “Little pal Ling Yun, we aren’t going to beat around the bush. I invited you here because I want to discuss business with you.”

Song Zhengyang had a feeling it would be this way. If not, why would the Lord of Jade allow these jewelry merchants to enter such a private conversation?

Ling Yun naturally understood as well. “Oh? I didn’t think I would have the qualifications to discuss business with the Lord of Jade. It’s my honor. Please proceed, Lord of Jade.”

“Little pal, my guess is that this King of Stones should be filled with jade…” the Lord of Jade started slowly.

The Lord of Jade paused deliberately, allowing the message to sink in.

Such a huge stone of a dozen tons. How much would it be worth if it was filled with jade, not forgetting that the jade was of Dragon Stone Imperial green jade grade!

In that case, Ling Yun’s net worth would be comparable to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett!

That was why the Lord of Jade wouldn’t dare to keep the King of Stones even if Ling Yun really wanted to give it back to Yu Ding Xuan. He was afraid that he would be polished off by people with envy.

More money was always good, but one had to have the fate to use it.

“The best things, if put on display at home, aren’t valuable. They will only be valuable if they are sold. Little pal, I’m sure no one will be able to afford it if you sell such a huge jade by itself. My proposal is for you to cut a portion of it off. We will then contact the best jewelry carvers to make a variety of jewelry. After, we will help you sell the jewelry through our channels. What do you think?” the Lord of Jade continued.

“You have the raw material, we have the channels. You make a huge profit, while we earn a small amount from the difference between the selling price and the price you give us. We’ll cut more after we sell the first batch. How about this?”

The Lord of Jade had once again made the business cost of the King of Stones zero.

All eyes were on Ling Yun now, fearing that he wouldn’t agree.

Ling Yun knew that this was the best way forward now. He didn’t even hesitate. “Let’s do what the Lord of Jade has proposed! Everyone can make something in the meantime…”

The jewelers finally released their breaths.

The Lord of Jade admired Ling Yun’s decisiveness. “Little pal, as for the purchase price that we buy it from you, let’s just go by the market price, shall we?”

Ling Yun was a novice in this. He looked at Song Zhengyang and Murong Feixue for help.

Murong Feixue nodded slightly.

Song Zhengyang, on the other hand, gave it some thought. “Ling Yun, may I represent you in this transaction if you really believe in me?”

Ling Yun had absolute faith in him. What was the difference between earning a bit more and a bit less with so much Imperial green jade? Ling Yun nodded swiftly.

“Brother Song, I’ll pre-order one billion yuan worth…”

“I want 1.5 billion yuan…”

“1.8 billion yuan…”

“Two billion yuan…”

“Three billion yuan…”

The jewelers had already started to give their prices before Song Zhengyang could get another word in.

Song Zhengyang waved his hand, rejecting the offers calmly.

“This is not the way to do this. The saying goes, that which is rare is dear. The Imperial green jade is valuable, but that isn’t only because of its excellent color and texture. It’s because it’s also extremely rare. We don’t need to think about making money if so much Imperial green jade were to flood the market suddenly…”

Song Zhengyang thought of the most critical point in this deal.

Ling Yun was secretly relieved. He now knew that Song Zhengyang was completely on his side.

“How about this, each of you can pre-order one billion yuan at most at the current market price. Come back to buy only after you’ve finished selling it. I’ll prioritize your re-orders.”

Song Zhengyang was in complete control. He was the general in a military camp, calm and commanding. It was also his first time making such a big deal. It felt really good.

To be honest, the Lord of Jade was green with envy. Why didn’t he know Ling Yun earlier?

“Sure! Whatever you say. One billion yuan it is. Zhou Da Fu will take one billion yuan worth…”

“We at Zhou Shen Shen will also take one billion yuan worth. I’ll give you the check now…”

“Zhou Da Shen Jewelry, one billion yuan worth…”

“Lao Feng Xiang, one billion yuan worth…”

“I represent Lao Miao, one billion yuan worth…”

“Xu’s Jewelry, one billion yuan worth…”

Only the Lord of Jade of Yu Ding Xuan and Murong Wenshi of Tianxi Pavilion didn’t bid. They weren’t worried, Song Zhengyang wouldn’t run away.

There was no need for the Pearl Jade Court to worry since Song Zhengyang was the boss!

Fifteen jewelers rushed to order, and all of them ordered one billion yuan worth without exception. Ling Yun obtained fifteen billion yuan in the blink of an eye.

Every one of them was elated, having obtained one billion yuan worth of supplies.

“Brother Song, my treat at Shangri-La Hotel tonight. Let’s not stop until we’re drunk…”

“Brother Song, don’t go with him. I’m putting up at Dream Paradise Hotel, let’s head there instead…”

…

Song Zhengyang smiled lightly at all the invitations, but his eyes were on Ling Yun.
