175: Upgrade to advanced intelligence!
Chen Kai took the last piece of violet Old Pakan out of his pocket and smiled faintly.
"Is this what your boss said he wanted? I was just thinking about selling this piece of violet Old Pakan today."
As soon as Chen Kai said this, Xiao Chen and A Tao were both stunned.
They widened their eyes in disbelief and swallowed hard.
"No way... Brother Chen, are you my savior? This... I happen to need this Old Pakan material!!"
"And it's a top-quality violet Old Pakan! If this piece of Old Pakan material were put on the market, they would dare to ask for eight or nine hundred thousand!!"
"Brother Chen, do you really want to sell this to me? I... I will definitely take it! I'll pay a high price! I'll give you all the subsidies the Female Boss gave me for the ink jade yesterday!"
Xiao Chen was instantly so excited that he didn't know what to do. Just a moment ago, he had been frowning, not knowing how to keep the Female Boss satisfied.
If he couldn't complete the Female Boss's task, it meant he couldn't retain the client, and he wouldn't be her first choice for buying jade next time. But as long as he handed over this violet jade this time...
...then he would definitely be the first choice the next time she wanted to buy jade!!
This was truly Chen Kai chasing him down to feed him!
A Tao, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded, his face full of confusion, his eyes revealing a hint of disbelief.
This is... violet jade?! And it's raw Old Pakan material?!
Before the export restrictions, this was worth over a hundred thousand, but now that it's appearing on the market, wouldn't they ask for eight or nine hundred thousand?
Plus, he had a boss who was currently very anxious to get this piece of Old Pakan violet jade and was willing to pay a high price, even willing to pay a premium of double the price!
If only this stone were sold to him!
Thinking back to what he had just said—that if anyone could pull out a piece of Old Pakan violet jade right now, he would call them 'daddy' on the spot.
A Tao couldn't hold it in anymore and lunged forward.
"Foster father! Sell this stone to me! I'll buy it for 200,000! I really need it!"
Chen Kai was stunned. It was all just trash talk before, but he was actually calling him that?
He finally understood why this guy had a crappy personality and low emotional intelligence, but he really would call someone 'daddy' if he needed to.
However, he had no intention of acknowledging this rebellious son; wasn't he just a pure rebellious son? When he needed something, you were his foster father; when he didn't, he'd ask what kind of junk you brought.
He probably wouldn't have any more dealings with him in the future.
Before Chen Kai could speak, Xiao Chen immediately got anxious.
"Brother!! Brother!! I'll also give you 200,000! 180,000 is for the purchase, and the 20,000 bonus is all yours! Brother!!"
Xiao Chen's eyes were full of longing, along with a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
He needed this piece of violet Old Pakan too much.
"Foster father! I'll give you 210,000, this is my limit, please sell it to me, foster father!!"
A Tao's eyes were also filled with longing and anticipation; he was just one step away from kneeling to Chen Kai.
Chen Kai didn't doubt for a second that if the profit was right and it would fill his pockets, he really would kneel.
"Forget it, I'm not worthy of being your foster father. Xiao Chen, transfer it to my card later."
Chen Kai handed the violet Old Pakan directly to Xiao Chen and turned to leave, leaving only the sound of A Tao's wailing behind him.
"Thank you, Big Brother!!"
After getting the stone, Xiao Chen immediately transferred the money to Chen Kai. He looked at A Tao with eyes full of surprise, seemingly showing off a bit.
"A Tao, look at you. I told you long ago that Brother Chen Kai has top-tier eyesight and was able to Score a Bargain of 200,000 from a 50-yuan Waste Stone Pile."
"Who told you to keep mocking him before? Do you regret it now? Isn't it too late to regret it now?!"
"Sigh~~ Off to sell the stone, off to sell the violet jade~~"
A Tao's eyes instantly turned red with anxiety, and he returned to his Jade Shop, gritting his teeth. He was just too jealous!
This Chen Kai really is a big shot. Old Pakan has been out of stock for so many days, six days, and he can pull out one piece a day. If this isn't a big shot, what is!
Sigh... regret, so much regret. If only he had known not to offend Chen Kai earlier... Otherwise, the ink jade, the violet jade, and the sky blue jade—those three Old Pakan pieces could have let him make a nice profit of 100,000!
100,000! That's two months of sales commissions!
...
As soon as Chen Kai sat in the car, he received a notification that 200,000 had been deposited into his account.
He immediately curled his lips into a faint smile. Calculating this, he and Liu Yunshang had a total principal of 400,000, and now the principal was 660,000.
By hoarding jade, he and Liu Yunshang had each earned 130,000.
The main thing was that it had only been six days; earning 130,000 from 200,000 in six days was already a huge profit!
He immediately transferred the 340,000, principal and profit included, to Liu Yunshang.
The next moment, Liu Yunshang's call came through.
Seeing this, Chen Kai immediately answered, a hint of a smile still hanging on the corners of his mouth.
"Little brother?? You didn't transfer the wrong amount, right? Didn't I give you 200,000? How did you transfer 330,000 to me in just six days?"
Liu Yunshang's voice rose several octaves, filled with surprise and shock, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Yeah, I made some money, so I transferred it to you."
"You know that Old Pakan jade has skyrocketed in the last two days, right?"
There was a pause on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then she asked with a strange tone, "Little brother, you said you had a jade business; you didn't go and hoard Old Pakan, did you?"
"Yeah, otherwise how could the profit be this huge? It nearly doubled in six days."
There was another silence on the other end of the line.
"Little brother, your eye for this is too good, right? I heard about the Myanmar export ban on Old Pakan mine materials; it seems to be causing quite a stir over there."
"People in our Antique Trade are all regretting not hoarding some jade, but you actually did it, little brother? And you earned 130,000 from 200,000. If word of this gets out, little brother, you'll be mythologized and flattered by quite a few people again."
"My little brother is just too amazing. Your eye for this is always so sharp!!! Amazing, I'll reward you properly next time you're on break."
Chen Kai chuckled, "Then I'll start looking forward to it."
Afterward, they chatted a bit more casually before hanging up.
The next moment, the daily intelligence system suddenly chimed.
【Ding!】
【Congratulations to the host for achieving the goal. Now, please choose which day's intelligence to upgrade to Advanced Intelligence.】
Chen Kai immediately rubbed his hands in excitement; he had finally waited for this day.
He immediately checked the date. It was Tuesday, and the intelligence that would refresh tonight was Wednesday's intelligence.
"Upgrade Wednesday's intelligence to Advanced Intelligence!"
【Understood! Upgrading Wednesday's daily intelligence to Advanced Intelligence for the host.】
【Upgrade successful!】
Chen Kai was instantly excited, but then he looked at the time and immediately panicked, rushing toward his residential complex.
