I Know Everything - Chapter 632
Chapter 632: Buying Materials.
Chen Huan didn’t hesitate now that he decided to finish it quickly.
He went out to shop alone early the next morning.
Shui Qianyu was very bored of it yesterday so just stayed in the hotel to rest.
Chen Huan wasn’t as conspicuous as yesterday without Shui Qianyu at his side.
There were a lot of people wearing masks in this city as some of them were people doing business while others wanted to look cool so there were at least a dozen when looking around.
People may recall the boy who got 3 million yesterday if Shui Qianyu followed him this time.
Who would know who he was now that he was alone?
Chen Huan went to the largest market in Ruili where there were the most people and stones.
He now had 1.2 billion yuan with him and it was all the money he had saved the last few months.
He felt a bit nostalgic when he thought back on how the Good Lord plundered him when he made his first 100 million yuan and he couldn’t afford a 3 million yuan property.
Chen Huan was at ease now that he had money.
He already made up his mind to invest in real estate and leisurely collect rent.
He already knew what the Good Lord was like so the system should be satisfied if he donated 100 million before doing that.
Ruili’s five big markets were mostly the same.
There were storey shops, stalls, street stalls and hawkers.
But unlike the other market, this one was close to Myanmar so many Burmese people came through here.
They would put a piece of clothes at their designated places in the market and put their stones in a basket for sales.
They shouldn’t be looked down upon as they also had expensive stones, ranging ten thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Of course, the best stones were found in the shops.
Chen Huan ignored the call of the stalls owners on the way as he went straight to a five story shop.
The shop was quite large as there were fifty square meters with densely packed stones on the shelves.
There was a fifty years old with glass wiping the stones vigorously as he seemed to pay a lot of attention to his business.
Seeing Chen Huan enter, he greeted him, “Mis… Little Bro, are you here for stones?”
Before he could say ‘Mister’, he saw Chen Huan looked quite young and was obviously a teenager.
Was someone like that come to stone gamble?
He looked more like a tourist.
So his enthusiasm immediately lowered.
Chen Huan smiled and said, “Right, I’m here to see if there’s good ones.”
The boss also smiled and said, “Little Bro, how much do you know about stone gambling? The stones here aren’t cheap, if you spend money to end up going back with empty rocks and your parents come back here to find fault, there’s no responsibility on me!”
“It’s okay!”
Chen Huan’s indifferent attitude made the boss unable to say anything more.
“Where are the good stones?” Chen Huan asked, “I have limited time and I can’t keep looking at these scraps.”
Good stones…
The boss looked at Chen Huan’s clothes before he pointed at the stones beside the door and said, “Those are good stones…”
The shelves were made of steel so they could withstand a lot of weight.
Of course, the stones on it were mostly a few kilo and ten kilos at most, bigger and they wouldn’t be placed on the shelves.
Chen Huan picked one, took a look before putting it down and took another one, putting it down…
The boss shook his head after seeing him do the same thing for seven or eight stones straight.
Those glances were like looking at flowers.
This teenager was like a baby and even if he had some knowledge, he had no practical experience.
“Boss.” Chen Huan turned to him and suddenly, “Bring the good stones out.”
“Huh?!” The boss didn’t know what Chen Huan meant.
“Those eight pieces of stones, except this one that came from Damakan and this one that came from Hpakant, none of these others are good stones.” Chen Huan calmly said to him, “I have the money, just bring out the good stones!”
Boss, “?!”
He took a glance at the stones Chen Huan touched and if he memories were right, there was indeed one that came from Hpakant while the others were from newly opened pits.
There was one that was actually from Damakan!?
He made a mess!
Wait!
Why would he believe the words coming from a teenager?
Did he believe that he was an expert?
Having those thoughts, the boss was a bit stunned before he went inside and came back with a ten kilos stone and showed it to Chen Huan, “Take a look at this one.”
Chen Huan took the stone and said, “This is a typical stone from Mameng but there’s too much fog in it as it occupies one third of the stone so the chance of getting good jade from it is not high.”
“You’re right.” The boss took the stone back and said with a wry smile, “Are you from Yuedong, Jieyang? Your family is in the business?”
Jieyang was in eastern Yuedong and was another place famous for their jade market in China and it was the most famous place for jade carving as their craftsmen were among the best in China.
There were several generations’ families who worked in the industry so it wasn’t unusual to have a teenager expert.
Chen Huan just smiled, didn’t deny or admit it and said, “Take out the good stuff.”
This was the fourth time he said it since coming into the shop.
The boss this time didn’t ignore him as he closed the shop’s door before gesturing to Chen Huan, “Please, this way!”
After entering a door with a curtain, Chen Huan saw a row of small and big safes.
The boss opened a medium sized safe in the middle and took five or six stones out of it before placing them on the table.
Those stones weren’t too big as the biggest was at the size of a watermelon while the smallest was at the size of a fist.
Chen Huan immediately took them into his hands.
“A medium quality stone from Hau Giang, 39% chance of yielding jade.”
“A high quality stone from Hpakant, 82% chance of producing jade.”
“A high quality stone from Damakan, 91% chance of yielding stone.”
…
Chen Huan took two minutes to watch those stones before he took two and asked, “How much for those two?”
“Little bro, you really have good eyes. They are the two best stones from this batch,” The boss boasted, “Those are treasures I’ve treasured for a long time.”
He was obviously hyping them up.
It was already long enough to hold into a good piece of jade for one to two years.
If he kept all the good stones in his hands, where would he get the money to keep the inventory stocked and have profits rolling in?
The boss smiled sheepishly when he saw Chen Huan’s deadpan expression and said, “600k for the big one and 400k for the small one.”
“The two pieces for 300k.” Chen Huan said without hesitation.
“Little Bro, are you joking with me?” The boss was dumbfounded, “You’re offered not even one-third in counter offer? You think this is a vegetable market or what?”
“I think this is a very appropriate price.” Chen Huan said, “You know that I’m not some novice. Don’t tell me you don’t know how much these kinds of stones are worth?”
“No and no! You’re cutting it too far!” The boss shook his head.
“Can you be a bit faster?” Chen Huan said, “If we have a deal, you can take more of your babies out and I’ll buy them if they’re good! If we don’t have a deal, I’ll just leave and take it as I’ve never been here!”
“No… Hey, Little bro, Little bro!”
The boss quickly grabbed Chen Huan and said with a difficult expression, “300k for the two stones really cannot be accepted. You already know those two are good stuff so you should add a bit more, how about 800k?”
“500k, last offer.”
“This… alright!”
The pained expression on the boss would make people that didn’t know him feel that he was selling under constraint.
However, Chen Huan knew that he made a profit between 50k to 100k from those two stones and that wasn’t bad at all.
In business, both sides must make money in order to have a happy and smooth cooperation.
Chen Huan just sent him 500k Yuan via Habao Pay.
After seeing the money coming in, the boss happily watched as Chen Huan wrapped those two stones in foam paper before putting it in his bag.
Then he took more stones from the safes.
Chen Huan also paid 500k without blinking his eyes, which proved he was very rich.
The boss obviously would become more active after the customer proved his economic strength.
