150: Ask Xiao Chen to help you bargain!
Chen Kai considered the feasibility, and the result was that it was feasible.
He immediately displayed his QR code.
Xiao Chen had just put the material into the Counter behind him and picked up his phone to prepare for the transfer.
Before he could even scan the code, the sound of an Electric Scooter braking hard came from the entrance.
Chen Kai turned his head sharply and was stunned.
Holy crap? Wasn't the guy driving the Electric Scooter the same one he had Score a Bargain from for Jade Rough Stone, and who had helped him find his slippers?
How was he also the exclusive supplier for this Jade Shop?
Chen Kai was instantly dumbfounded, and at the same time, a bold plan emerged in his mind.
If that was the case, he could act like a big-shot, get Xiao Chen to introduce the source of this Jade Rough Stone, and then conduct the transaction directly, wouldn't that work?
Moreover, letting Xiao Chen help him bargain was his best option right now.
Other places would definitely rip him off, but he hadn't even mastered the market price yet.
At least these past two times, when he knew the low price, Xiao Chen hadn't ripped him off.
Yesterday, for the Mosi Sha raw material he managed to Score a Bargain on, the system suggested a selling price of 51,000, and Xiao Chen gave him 52,000 without a word.
And that was without him saying anything or mentioning the price.
It showed that this kid currently had no intention of ripping him off.
In front of someone impressive, people wouldn't dare pull any small tricks.
Xiao Chen likely had the same mindset now.
"Yo! Isn't this the brother who helped me last night?"
The Little foreigner delivering the Jade Rough Stone from Myanmar was also stunned. He spoke a foreign language, which was directly translated into Chinese by the translator worn on his ear, and the mechanical voice of the translator appeared in the room.
"You guys know each other?"
A flash of surprise crossed Xiao Chen's eyes. It seemed that Brother Chen Kai was not only a person with a good eye, but also a big-shot in terms of connections.
This Little foreigner was known as the "Myanmar Informant" and was very well-connected in Jiangnan City; basically, everyone who sourced goods from him were large local Jade Shop businesses.
"We know each other! Last night, this brother did me a huge favor; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to deliver goods to others."
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
The Little foreigner patted Chen Kai on the shoulder, his face full of a friendly smile.
"It is a bit of a coincidence. Is this whole box full of high-quality goods?"
Only then did Chen Kai notice the small crate the Little foreigner was holding in both hands.
It was like those ventilated plastic crates used for wholesale vegetables or grapes.
The crate was packed full of stones, all sorts with Windowing done, and he keenly caught sight of quite a few Old Pakan materials in the crate.
"Yes, they are all high-quality goods. Delivering to Brother Chen, how could they not be high-quality?"
Xiao Chen chuckled, walked forward a few steps, and made introductions.
"This is Brother Chen Kai, the one in our jade circle who created a 200,000 miracle with 50 rmb."
"This is my rough stone wholesaler, the Little foreigner who brings stones over from Myanmar."
After Xiao Chen finished the introduction, the Little foreigner's face was full of shock.
"Oh my goodness! Are you that War God who created the 200,000 miracle with 50 rmb?"
"I've heard so much about you! We must become friends!!"
Chen Kai also smiled faintly and shook his hand.
The Little foreigner then placed the crate he was holding onto the Counter.
"These are all the high-quality goods I have in the room right now. You can pick for yourself; not much stock has come in recently."
Xiao Chen didn't believe it at all.
"Give it a rest. You say that every time you haven't received new stock. Let me take a look."
Chen Kai also became interested. He rubbed the tip of his nose and reached out to take all the Old Pakan materials out of the crate.
Materials from each mine were easy to distinguish; he had done his homework on this before, he just didn't know how to gauge the market price.
"Brother Chen, are you interested too?"
Xiao Chen asked proactively, his face full of surprise.
"Yeah, this batch of materials seems pretty good. What are the prices for these Old Pakan ones?"
Chen Kai looked at the five materials from the Old Pakan mine in his hand and shone a flashlight on them. The texture visible through the Windowing was excellent.
Two were Ice Yang Green, one was Ink Jade with a black-green light, one was yellow light, and one was purple light.
The overall texture of the five materials was quite good, but he was more interested in this piece of Ink Jade.
If he could cut out a pure ink-colored material, he would make a fortune.
Its value would be no less than Ice Yang Green and could even rival purple materials.
Pure Ink Jade was something that could be met by chance but not sought; most Ink Jade had white cotton inside or the color wasn't right, looking grayish.
Pure Ink Jade was just like a solid black stone, only emitting a greenish-black light when shone with a light.
The Little foreigner was handing goods to Xiao Chen when he suddenly turned his head, his mouth immediately stretching into an exaggerated smile.
"That... brother, this piece is 500,000, this one is 800,000, this one is 300,000, and those two are both 400,000."
The Little foreigner introduced them one by one, leaving Chen Kai dumbfounded.
"Myanmar currency?"
"rmb! How could it be that price in Myanmar currency?"
"Are you crazy or am I crazy? You're selling this crappy material to me for 800,000?!"
Chen Kai immediately exclaimed in disbelief, his face full of shock.
"Oh, boss, this material isn't expensive, it's very worth it. For 800,000, if this Ink Jade cuts out full ink, you can easily sell it for 1-2 million. Wouldn't you be making a huge profit?"
"Can you guarantee it will cut out full ink?"
"That definitely can't be guaranteed, boss."
"If you can't guarantee it, what are you talking nonsense for? If you could guarantee it, I'd definitely buy it for 800,000. If you can't, wouldn't I lose a fortune?"
Chen Kai twitched the corner of his mouth, his face full of speechlessness.
Xiao Chen, who was looking at the goods on the side, directly patted the Little foreigner on the shoulder, also looking speechless.
"I've already introduced you; this is the person who managed to Score a Bargain of 200,000 from a Waste Stone Pile with 50 rmb. Are you still here spouting 'millions' to a big-shot with this kind of eye?"
"Do you want to do business in good faith or not? Can you change your habit of spouting nonsense? A piece of material worth a few thousand rmb becomes millions in your mouth?"
"Why don't you just sell it for 100 million then."
Being told this, the Little foreigner immediately felt embarrassed, showing a mouthful of big white teeth and chuckling.
"Sorry, sorry, it's a habit. This Ink Jade, 130,000 is the market price, definitely not overcharging you."
"For this bling-bling purple material, I'll charge you 150,000."
"For those two Ice Yang Green pieces, 110,000 each."
"And this Yellow Wrapped Green, just 20,000?"
Hearing this, Chen Kai gasped, glad he was a bit smart.
This mark-up was too huge, right?!!
Something worth 150,000, and he dared to quote 800,000.
No wonder they say you shouldn't easily bargain in the Jade Market! Even cutting it in half is still a loss.
However, he still had to pressure this guy; he suspected that bargaining down further would be the true market price.
"Still not honestly quoting the market price? Do you really not want to do business with me?"
