"What did you say? That kid can earn hundreds of millions from those stones?" Boss Zhuang asked the driver in surprise.
Master Zhang paused for a moment before bursting into laughter, "I say, you working stiff, do you even know how many zeros are in a hundred million?"
"Hundreds of millions? Haha, you really know how to brag to your own people!"
"I'm not bragging, Boss Li, it's the truth!" The driver's face turned red with anger. He stopped the car and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask later when we go back."
"If I'm bragging, I won't take my wages for these few days. I'll work for free!"
"Alright, I just said one thing to you, and you're already this short-tempered," Master Zhang said with some annoyance.
Just a truck driver, daring to talk back to him! After this matter is settled, he must never let the boss hire him again.
However, Boss Zhuang instinctively felt a trace of unease and hesitated, "Old Bai, are you telling the truth?"
"Absolutely true! Everyone in Jiangcheng's gambling stone circle knows how exceptional Boss Li's eyesight is!" Driver Old Bai immediately said, "Moreover, he is also proficient in appraising antiques. Even Zhen Banshan Zheng Xibei, the esteemed Master Zheng, who is renowned in the antique circle, lost to him and is now working in his antique shop!"
"Ah?" Boss Zhuang's expression changed drastically. Although he didn't understand antiques, anyone who could be called a master appraiser and had a moniker like 'Zhen Banshan' was definitely an extraordinary figure.
Such a person was defeated by Li Yang, so how could his abilities be lacking?
Master Zhang, however, sneered, "Keep bragging! If that kid were really that capable, he wouldn't have been so unprofessional earlier!"
"Boss, don't believe him. He's just a nobody driving a truck. He believes anything he hears and knows nothing," he continued.
"Who are you calling ignorant? Who do you think you are looking down on!" Old Bai said indignantly.
Master Zhang sneered, "I am looking down on you, and what can you do about it? A mere driver, how dare you meddle in professional matters?"
"Shut up!" Suddenly, Boss Zhuang glared at him and then said to Old Bai, "Drive back."
"Boss?" Master Zhang's face changed, and he looked at him in disbelief, "You don't actually believe him, do you?"
"I already told you to shut up. If you say another word, I'll kick you out of the car!" Boss Zhuang said, his mind unsettled.
If Li Yang had indeed made a fortune from his batch of goods, he would have to re-examine his sources.
A source that could earn hundreds of millions should absolutely not be traded at ordinary prices. In the future, it should at least be doubled.
Meanwhile, Li Yang had finished marking the last stone with an oil-based pen and then said to several stone-cutting masters, "Cut them according to these lines."
"Yes, Boss Li." The stone-cutting masters had already witnessed his skill. Seeing him draw the lines, they immediately began cutting the stones.
To them, the stones chosen by Li Yang were absolutely guaranteed.
They believed they would earn a lot of lucky money today!
Regardless of whether they were hired stone-cutters or not, as long as they cut out something valuable, the boss would definitely give them lucky money.
Shui Xiang asked, "There are still a few stones that haven't been marked. How do you plan to cut them?"
"We won't cut these stones. We'll put them in the gambling stone market and sell them to gambling stone players for one million, one point three million, and three million respectively," Li Yang said with a smile. "We can't take all the benefits, otherwise, who would do business with us in the future?"
"We might as well open a finished product store."
"You're right." Shui Xiang smiled and nodded, instructing someone to take these stones to the gambling stone market at the prices Li Yang had stated.
Li Yang thought of Lin Xiaoyu's matter, "By the way, Sister Shui, how is the matter of having Xiaoyu be our sales agent for jade finished products progressing?"
"The cooperation method has been finalized. We will give her a minimum transaction price, and all profits exceeding this price will belong to her. If the transaction is within the specified price range, after deducting costs, the profit will be split seventy-thirty between us," Shui Xiang said.
"The first batch of jade finished products for agent sales, she took them with her when she went back. If the sales situation is very good, our jade sculptors might not be able to keep up, and there will be a shortage."
"That boss you mentioned a few days ago in South Myanmar who can do contract work, it would be best to contact him then."
"Okay, I'll actively contact him in a couple of days after seeing how things go," Li Yang said with a smile, looking at her charming face. "But shouldn't we go and rest for a while?"
"Rest for what?" Shui Xiang asked suspiciously, and immediately understood. Her pretty face flushed, and she whispered, "It's too early, isn't it?"
"Morning has more vitality." Li Yang smiled and took her delicate hand.
Shui Xiang couldn't resist his request, and blushing, she hummed, "To my office?"
"Boss, Boss Zhuang and Master Zhang are back again," just then, Manager Fang hurried over.
Seeing the two holding hands, her expression changed, and she looked somewhat surprised. Had these two gotten together?
Shui Xiang was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, saying guiltily, "What are they back for?"
"I don't know, but Boss Zhuang looks serious, as if something is on his mind. So I came to inform you in advance," Manager Fang said, shaking her head.
Shui Xiang said suspiciously, "If that's the case, it is indeed strange."
"No matter how strange or not strange it is, we'll just go ask them directly," Li Yang said with a smile.
As the few of them walked out of the internal stone-cutting room, they saw Boss Zhuang and Master Zhang walking quickly towards them.
Li Yang got straight to the point and asked, "Boss Zhuang, why are you back? If you have something to say, just say it."
"I apologize, Boss Li. I have no other intentions. It's just that there's nothing else, and I wanted to find a place to have some fun, so I came back here."
Boss Zhuang certainly wouldn't ask Li Yang directly, "What treasures did you find from the stones I sold you?"
"I was thinking that since we have a good relationship with Boss Shui, we'd like a member price. Is that possible?"
"That is certainly possible. It's just, Boss Zhuang, since you have stones yourself, why would you spend money to gamble on stones here?" Shui Xiang asked him, puzzled.
Boss Zhuang chuckled obsequiously, "This is like having a computer at home but still going to an internet cafe to play games. It's not difficult to understand."
"When you cut your own stones, where's the excitement and flavor compared to cutting stones at a gambling stone场?"
"So that's how it is. Boss Zhuang is truly interesting." Shui Xiang smiled and was no longer surprised.
However, Li Yang always felt that Boss Zhuang had ulterior motives. He smiled and said, "Boss Zhuang, which stone have you taken a fancy to? I'll have someone cut it for you."
