149: Holy crap! This thing's awesome!

But... Liu Yunshang should know a little bit about the Jade Market.

Thinking this, Chen Kai called Liu Yunshang. It wasn't long before the call was answered, and a slightly sultry voice came from the other end.

"Little brother~ Did you miss me so much that you couldn't wait to see me after meeting today?"

"Why don't you just come over and have a late-night snack with me? Sister will grill some oysters for you~ Hehe~"

Listening to the voice on the other end, Chen Kai couldn't help but feel he was losing control.

It had been so long, yet every time he heard Liu Yunshang's sultry voice, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

He quickly suppressed his burning urges; he really couldn't handle it lately.

He had overexerted himself too much before. If he kept indulging, he might have to start taking Liuwei Dihuang pills.

"No, I'll come find you in a couple of days."

"Oh~ alright then. What did little brother want to tell me by calling?"

"Well... I recently got news from a friend in Myanmar. Things aren't looking good over there, and the jade smuggling routes into the country will definitely see a massive reduction. In my estimation, the amount of Jade Rough Stone entering the country will drop significantly. I think the price of Jade Rough Stone is going to skyrocket, especially the material from the Old Pakan mining area; it's definitely going to shoot up."

"I was thinking of hoarding some Old Pakan material with Sister Liu. I don't think we can hoard too much; there's only a seven-day profit cycle. If we hoard from today to tomorrow, it's bound to skyrocket within seven days."

"But according to my friend, don't hoard too much. Jade is a major source of trade income for Myanmar, so they won't be able to stop exports for too long before resuming."

Chen Kai had just finished speaking, before he could even explain the specifics.

Liu Yunshang muttered without hesitation, "I don't know much about jade."

"So~ I'll just transfer one million to you. You can handle the buying, okay?"

"I trust your judgment, little brother. It doesn't matter if we lose money; Sister will just take it as supporting your vision. I'm transferring it to your account right now."

"Wait!! Sister, that's too much. It's easy to break the phone; two hundred thousand is enough!"

"Alright, I'll listen to you. Two hundred thousand it is."

The next moment, Chen Kai's phone received a transfer notification.

Chen Kai twitched his lips. He had originally wanted Liu Yunshang to take a look, but if it was going to be like this, he would have to do it all himself.

"Um... I received it, Sister."

"Good~ you handle the arrangements~ Now~~ since we've finished talking about business, shouldn't we talk about... other things?"

Chen Kai froze! After chatting about adult topics for a long time, he slowly hung up the video call.

After hanging up, he immediately scratched his head, his face full of awkwardness.

What a headache.

How was he supposed to handle this? He hadn't expected that Liu Yunshang wasn't very proficient in jade either. The reason she had attended the jade exhibition before was because the prices were clearly marked, so there was no risk of being scammed and no way to haggle.

Just kidding, how could one haggle at an auction? It was an occasion where prices were bid up, so there was no way to get scammed.

She didn't really know how to haggle either.

He had actually forgotten about this!

Chen Kai scratched his head, looking at the two hundred thousand in his hand, and then checked his balance. His current balance was one hundred and fifty thousand; the rest of the money had been invested in maotai liquor Stocks.

Once he sold the Jade Rough Stone he managed to Score a Bargain on tomorrow, his cash on hand would reach two hundred thousand.

The system suggested not exceeding four hundred thousand, so just going all-in with the four hundred thousand from the two of them was fine.

He couldn't be bothered to borrow any more money.

Chen Kai thought for a long time, but couldn't think of where to buy some Jade Rough Stone.

"Forget it, it is what it is. Let's go to sleep first."

He immediately put down his phone, set an alarm, and fell fast asleep.

...

The next morning, Chen Kai was woken up by his phone alarm.

He unlocked his phone screen and saw that it was just past nine o'clock.

He immediately got up and got ready; he only had one day to buy Jade Rough Stone today.

He would probably need to pick three or four pieces of Jade Rough Stone, which was a significant undertaking.

He couldn't laze in bed at home anymore; he was afraid he'd have to spend the whole day haggling at the Jade Market. After all, this stuff wasn't something where you could just agree on a fixed price.

Many stall owners were selling on behalf of others; the sellers would definitely set the price extremely high, a sky-high price.

They would only sell once the buyer haggled down to a price they were comfortable with.

Sometimes they even had to act out the "if you won't sell, I'm leaving" scene several times.

Buying things wasn't an easy task, and furthermore, he didn't have much common knowledge about jade, so he could only compare more.

Zheng Liu Chang was also completely clueless about this, so he could only rely on himself, or ask Xiao Chen at the jade shop, who had a decent attitude.

Chen Kai shook his head helplessly, took the palm-sized Jade Rough Stone, went out, got into his mercedes-benz car, and hurried towards Jade Street.

...

In less than half an hour, Chen Kai parked his car in a parking spot next to Jade Street.

He hurried towards Xiao Chen's shop, and as he passed A Tao's shop, he noticed A Tao sitting at the entrance basking in the sun.

Seeing Chen Kai coming over again, he took the initiative to greet him.

"Yo, what kind of goods are you bringing today? Bring the good stuff to me; take the junk to Xiao Chen's place, he likes that stuff, hehe."

Chen Kai twitched his lips, ignored A Tao entirely, and walked straight into Xiao Chen's shop.

As soon as he walked into the shop, he saw Xiao Chen on the phone. Judging by his tone, he was placing an order.

"Hello, Taomasang, did you put on the translator? You did? Send me a few pieces of Mosi Sha material. Our shop is really short on Mosi Sha goods lately."

"Old Pakan? How is that possible? There's been a huge batch of Old Pakan material on the market recently, and you guys are rushing to send Old Pakan too. How could the price be going up?"

"Fine, just send me a few pieces of Mosi Sha material, we'll discuss the price in person."

"Alright, I'll hang up now, a customer is here."

After Xiao Chen hung up the phone, he immediately put on a smile and enthusiastically poured a cup of plum juice for him.

"Brother Chen, what good material did you bring me today?"

Chen Kai smiled faintly and pulled a palm-sized piece of Mosi Sha material from his pocket.

"Take a look and see if you want to buy it."

Xiao Chen immediately gasped and took the material into his hands as if it were a rare treasure.

It couldn't be ruled out that he was acting, but the material, which the system suggested selling for fifty-one thousand, definitely wasn't worth that much.

"Holy crap. Brother Chen Kai, this material of yours is too good. It's a waxy variety, blue-green, perfect for one of the big bosses at our shop."

"And the window cut, it's so skillful, brother! It completely exposed the flesh, awesome!"

"I'm definitely willing to buy this, but as for the price... you know, the price of Jade Rough Stone in the Jade Market is falling across the board. It doesn't sell for much, not like when it was valuable before."

"So... do you think you'd sell this material for fifty-two thousand??"

Chen Kai immediately agreed happily, "Sell. You take it."

This kid really didn't scam him; he could be trusted.

But on the phone, he mentioned Old Pakan material... could he use his help to acquire four hundred thousand worth of Old Pakan material?
