"What do you want, then?" Leon frowned. "It's simple. If you want these jadeites, pat first. I want to see if you have that much money or if you're just bluffing!" Lucian sneered and looked at Leon like he was a fool, certain that Leon was just bluffing. "Why you!" Leon's expression darkened. In any business, the exchange of money and goods were always conducted at the same time. At the moment, Leon did not even see the actual commodities and was already being demanded to pay. This was completely out of line. Ever since he met Lucian, Lucian was rude and arrogant in his words. Even someone as good-tempered as Leon was enraged. "Lucian, shut it! If you keep acting rude to Mister Wolf, I'll make you pay for it!" Before Leon could react, Shally reprimanded Lucian. Though she did not think Leon had such a large sum of money as well, that was not the main focus. Leon came to their store to shop out of goodwill and she could understand if Lucian demanded for a deposit if he
At the counter, Shally ordered two saleswomen to take out all clear jadeites from the stock house and the display shelves for Leon to pick. Leon fired up his spiritual energy and soon selected eighteen pieces that were suitable for his purpose. "Alright, I'll take these eighteen!" Leon said. "What?" Both Shally and Lucian were shocked. Clear jadeites were rare and expensive, so they did not have many stock in the store. When customers purchase such expensive products, they often care more about the craftsmanship. Hence, the ones that were not picked were mostly jadeites carved in accordance to outdated styles. Yet, Leon did not seem bothered by that at all and most of the jadeites he selected were old products. This caught the two of them by surprise. "Mister Wolf, are you sure? To tell you the truth, a lot of these styles are outdated. Maybe you should spend more time to go through your option. Don't worry. We have branches in other areas. If you can't find what you li
"What? Thirty percent off? Why would you give him such a big discount? Have you gone mad?" Lucian was shocked. Though the profit was rather high for antique and jadeites, glass jadeites were hard to come by and one could earn double the amount by selling these. By offering Leon thirty percent off, Shally cut off sixty percent of the store's profit. After deducting the labor fee and store expenses, the profit would be further cut down. Such a big discount would cost the store at least 9 million worth of profit and that was a considerable amount. Lucian was not about to accept this. "I'm not mad. Lucian, I'll repeat this one last time. I'm the one in charge here and I know what I'm doing. You don't get to tell me what to do!" Shally said coldly. "I-" Lucian paled and was displeased by her attitude. Still, she was the eldest unwed daughter of the first bloodline and was responsible for managing the family business, so he could not dispute much when she was determined to give
"Miss Summers, I still need a bigger glass jadeite. I'll leave it to you. I hope you'll find one soon," Leon reminded. Now that he gathered eighteen glass jadeites, he needed a bigger one for the Energy Gathering Circle. Still, big glass jadeites were hard to come by and he had no channels to obtain jadeites, so he could only leave it in Shally's hands. "Don't worry, Mister Wolf. I'll do my best and try to get you the clear jadeite within three days. Once we find it, I'll inform you right away," Shally said. "Sure. It's a deal, then. Miss Summers, if that's all, I'll leave now." Leon said and was prepared to leave with Cynthia and the others. In the next moment, something unexpected happened. Just then, a man in his fifties hurried over to the counter. He was none other than the manager of the store, and one of the relatives of the Summers. "Miss, there's a merchant here saying that he has a big glass jadeite that he wishes to sell to us. He is asking if we are willing
"Hello, Miss Summers," Mister Negus greeted politely. "Mister Negus, nice to meet you." Shally smiled. As the person in charge of the store, Shally knew quite a lot about the industry and Mister Negus was a rather famous merchant. Though the two never worked together before, both Shally and Lucian heard about Mister Negus. "Miss Summers, I came because there's an excellent piece of jadeite that I wish to sell to you. Will you be willing to buy it?" Mister Negus cut to the chase. "Mister Negus, where is this jadeite? Please let me have a look," Shally said. "Sure," Mister Negus said and waved his hand at one of the guards, who placed a beautiful box on the table before Shally and the others. As the box opened, a clear piece of jadeite was revealed. It looked to be weighing two to three thousand grams with not a single hint of impurity inside. "It's magnificent indeed. This has to be clear jadeite or even better!"Shally immediately identified that this was a clear jadei
"Who would've thought that this is a Dragon Jade?" Snapping out of it, Leon fired up his spiritual energy to sense the energy within it but was slightly taken aback. Though the spiritual energy within the jadeite was pure, it felt similar to the green jadeite he purchased in the western region. When compared to the imperial green and purple jadeites he obtained from rock gambling, this Dragon Jade would fall short. "That's strange. What's going on?" Leon was slightly confused. He thought that Dragon Jade was of higher quality than imperial green and purple jadeites, so the spiritual energy within it should be higher. Yet, this jadeite before him did not contain purer energy than imperial green and purple jadeites. Leon was baffled, but he never saw a Dragon Jade before and did not know much about it. Hence, he assumed this was just an ordinary Dragon Jade and thus to disappointing quality of its energy. This seemed to be the only possible explanation. "Mister Negus, are y
"Miss, after our inspection, we find this piece of jade to be clear with defined textured. There isn't a single trace of impurity in it. It glows and is cold to the touch, which matches with the characteristics of a Dragon Jade. The three of us have concluded that this is likely a rare piece of Dragon Jade. However, it is just an ordinary Dragon Jade and not a high-quality one within its class," 赵大师 said. "So it is a Dragon Jade. That's wonderful!" Shally was overjoyed and revealed a big smile. In the past months, the Summers' competitors, the Nortons, targeted them cutting off their resources in the central region. This led to the decline in the Summers' business. Thankfully, Mister Negus came with a rare Dragon Jade and intended to sell it to them. With this as the centerpiece of the store, it would make Treasure Hunt famous and the Summers would benefit from it. Apart from that, she went to the northern region and found a new source of supply. With a new supply line an
"You don't need it? That's great!" Shally was relieved and turned back to Mister Negus. "Mister Negus, we are willing to take this Dragon Jade. Name your price.""Well, let's say 215 million," Mister Negus said thoughtfully. "215 million? That's not cheap!" Leon was slightly taken aback. Though he did not know much about the industry, he once obtained a large imperial purple jadeite when he was in the southern region. At the time, a few merchants tried to purchase it and even offered a price of 172 million. However, he needed the jadeite for his circle and did not sell it. The Dragon Jade before him was much smaller than the imperial purple jadeite he obtained and was about one-third of its size. Yet, Mister Negus demanded to charge 215 million, making it far more expensive than the imperial purple jadeite. "Mister Negus, don't you think that's too high a price? It's at least two to three times the price of imperial green or purple jadeites of the same size." Shally frow
