Tan Xiu was disgusted by Yang Hui's attitude and disliked Qi Changxing's means of pursuing a girl, especially a girl who didn't know how to be polite. However, he couldn't help but sigh at how small the world was. He never expected to bump into an old acquaintance like Qi Changxing as soon as he arrived in Hong Kong.
"You …"
Qi Changxing's words had just come out when he saw Tan Xiu's face. The words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back into his stomach in a flash, and even his calves couldn't help but shiver.
"Fiend … fiend?"
At this moment, Qi Changxing regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that he would run into a living evil star like Tang Xiu here. What scared him the most was that he had kicked him lightly just now.
"What about me?" asked Tan Xiu indifferently. "Are you not satisfied with my answer? Or do you think you kicked me too lightly just now? "
Qi Changxing's heart turned cold in an instant. He would've knelt down before Tan Xiu if it weren't for his goddess. Squeezing out a smile, Qi Changxing respectfully bowed and said, "Mr. Tang, Changxing absolutely doesn't dare to have any dissatisfied thoughts. Had I known it was you, I wouldn't have dared to kick you even if I had the courage to do so! Please be magnanimous and don't stoop to my level. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and sighed, "Why do you never learn from your mistakes? Was the previous lesson too light?"
"I've never done anything out of line since we parted ways in Hong Kong, Mr. Tang," said Qi Changxing bitterly. "It's just that I like Xiaohui, so I just wanted to … perform better."
Tan Xiu could understand Qi Changxing's thoughts, but he didn't approve of his means of pursuing a girl. He lightly said, "Pursuing a girl doesn't depend on material or money. It's the mutual affection between a man and a woman that can last a long time and spend a lifetime together. You're on your own now. "
Having said that …
Tan Xiu didn't want to talk to Qi Changxing anymore. He closed his eyes again and waited for Hao Lei's arrival.
Yang Hui looked at Tan Xiu with a strange expression, and her eyes darted to Qi Changxing from time to time. Suddenly, she became curious about this handsome young man in front of her. His words and actions were filled with a mature charm. She knew Qi Changxing's identity and knew that he must have a powerful background if he could make him act so respectfully in Hong Kong.
"Who are you?"
Yang Hui could not help but ask.
Tan Xiu didn't answer her. He didn't even bother to answer her. His actions caused the beautiful woman to reveal a surprised expression. The way she looked at Tan Xiu was completely different from before. Even the two burly men guarding the elevator door looked at each other with a confused look on their faces.
"Buzz …"
The elevator door slowly opened and Hao Lei strode out. Her eyes swept over Qi Changxing and Yang Hui before finally landing on Tan Xiu. She paced a few steps forward and respectfully called out, "What brings you here, Boss?"
Tan Xiu opened his eyes, stood up and said, "I need to talk to you about something. I happened to pass by Hong Kong, so I dropped by. Get me a work permit later, lest I get turned away again. "
Hao Lei abruptly turned around and glared at the beautiful woman next to the bar counter, shouting, "He's the Big Boss of our Grand Fortune Jewelry. How dare you stop him before?"
The beautiful woman's pupils shrunk and the hairs all over her body stood on end. She hurriedly said with a frightened expression, "I … I'm sorry. I didn't know you were the Big Boss."
"It's alright. You can't be blamed for not knowing." Tan Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's your duty to stop people who don't meet the standards. Hao Lei, please don't blame her. Alright, let's find a quiet place and talk about something. "
Hao Lei quickly nodded and ignored the beautiful woman. She led Tan Xiu into the elevator and then pressed the button for the 33rd floor. As the elevator went up, Tan Xiu asked, "How's the business of the Grand Fortune Jewelry recently? Did you encounter any difficulties? "
"Our business has been good recently, but the sales have decreased by 20% compared to the first half of last year," said Hao Lei. "It has nothing to do with the money. The main thing is …"
"What's the main thing?" asked Tan Xiu.
"I don't know the reason, but there's a force in the country that suddenly purchased jade raw materials on a large scale, leading to an extreme shortage of jade raw materials in the market. We originally had a supply channel, but the price has skyrocketed recently and the quantity has obviously decreased, leading to a shortage of our stock. The increase in price has also greatly affected our sales. "
A smile appeared on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth. He naturally knew which force in the country was secretly purchasing jade raw materials on a large scale. But he didn't expect that the price of jade raw materials would skyrocket due to this reason and even affect his business.
"Is our Grand Fortune Jewelry the only one affected? Or … "
"It's not just us," said Hao Lei quickly. "All the major jewelry merchants in the country have been affected. Many of them are secretly regretting that they didn't stock more jade raw materials! "
"Since everyone is affected, then it's not an internal matter of Grand Fortune Jewelry." Tan Xiu nodded with satisfaction. "You have a need in this regard, so I'll solve it. That's right, how many jade raw materials do you need to solve the shortage of stock? "
Hao Lei was stunned. She didn't expect that her Big Boss could help solve the jade reserve problem. She thought for a while and said, "A ton of jade raw materials can solve the urgent problem. If the quantity is too much, half a ton is barely enough. "
"If I give you 5 tons, can you use it to make more profits?" Tan Xiu smiled. "When the jade raw materials are sufficient in the future, can you use the profits to buy more jade raw materials?"
Hao Lei was at a loss whether to cry or laugh. "You don't know the scarcity of jade raw materials, do you, Boss? Although the major jade mines all over the world produce a lot of jade raw materials every year, the total output is less than 5 tons. You actually … Alright, alright, don't stare at me. If you can really get 5 tons of good quality jade raw materials, I guarantee that you can buy at least 2 tons more in the future. Of course … you can buy at least 5 tons more if you sell the engraved products after processing. "
"Doubled?"
Tang Xiu's expression moved and asked with a slightly surprised expression.
"That's right. I can definitely double it." Hao Lei firmly nodded.
Tan Xiu nodded and followed Hao Lei out of the elevator. After coming to her office, he directly took out an interspatial ring and handed it to her, saying, "This interspatial ring is for you. It's a reward for the benefits you're about to earn for the company. There are 5 tons of jade inside. You can take out the jade raw materials and see their quality after you've bound it with your blood. "
An interspatial ring?
Hao Lei's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning and she directly froze on the spot. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. After a while, she carefully took the interspatial ring with trembling hands. Then, she bit her finger and dripped her blood on it.
Whoosh …
A fist-sized jade raw material appeared in her hand out of thin air and was then put into the interspatial ring under her control. After repeatedly testing it more than a dozen times, she excitedly said, "I just observed it with my spiritual sense and found that there are indeed a lot of jade raw materials inside, Boss. That's great! The reputation of our Grand Fortune Jewelry will definitely be greatly improved with these jade raw materials, and we'll be able to obtain more benefits in a short time. "
"The quality is really good, isn't it?" asked Tan Xiu with a smile.
"Very good." Hao Lei firmly nodded and said, "Though it can't be compared with those top-grade jade raw materials, it's still considered as top-grade jade raw materials. I'll immediately contact all the carving masters and have them carve the finished products day and night. "
"You'll see what happens next," said Tan Xiu. "I'll give you three months to buy a batch of jade raw materials with the money you get from selling the jade wares. Do keep in mind that the market price is very high, so try to suppress the price and maximize the profits. "
"No problem."
Hao Lei solemnly replied.
Tan Xiu suddenly recalled something and asked, "What's the most valuable item in the VIP area on the 18th floor of our Grand Fortune Jewelry? How valuable is it? "
"It's a blue crystal named the Heart of the Ocean," said Hao Lei with a smile. "This blue crystal is the size of a baby's fist and has a blue color all over. It was carved by the most outstanding carving master in Hong Kong in 6 to 10 years, and it's also the signature treasure of our Grand Fortune Jewelry. As for the price, it's priced at 1,888,888,888 million. Some super-rich people in Hong Kong want to buy it, but they eventually flinched after seeing such a high price. "
Tan Xiu was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that a blue crystal could be priced at such a high price. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "Take me to have a look."
"Alright."
Hao Lei replied and led Tan Xiu to the VIP area on the 18th floor. Several security doors were opened and the two of them appeared in a transparent glass room.
"Is this the blue crystal?"
Tang Xiu had a look of disbelief when he saw the flawless, sparkling and translucent "Heart of the Ocean" inside the tempered glass cabinet on the booth.
Hao Lei didn't notice the strange expression on Tan Xiu's face. She looked at the Heart of the Ocean and couldn't move her eyes away. She gently nodded and said, "That's right. This is the Heart of the Ocean. Rumor has it that it was fished out from the sea by a Country Y, but I don't know how exactly it was fished out. You can give it to your beloved girl if you like it, Boss. I'm sure every girl will love it. "
"Give it to a girl I like?"
Tan Xiu nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He glared at Hao Lei and nearly cursed her for having eyes but failing to recognize Mount Tai and recklessly wasting God's gift.
What is this?
This is a treasure that Immortals yearn for, and it's something that countless top Immortals are looking forward to getting. Once this thing appears in the Immortal World, it will definitely set off a bloody battle for it.
But!
This treasure is actually regarded as … jewelry?
