159: The foreigner is getting anxious! He's offering a high price to buy it back!
After Chen Kai watched the lady boss walk quickly out of the Kitchen, he casually found a bag and reached directly into the meat filling with his hands.
After digging around for a while, he indeed pulled a small ring out of the meat filling. The ring was inlaid with an arched piece of white jade, which seemed to be the mutton fat jade.
However, the mutton fat jade ring was coated in greasy oil stains, and there were even a few bits of meat stuck to it.
He hurried to the faucet, turned on the water, and rinsed the ring, looking around from time to time.
Once he was sure the lady boss was still outside taking orders, he quickly put the cleaned ring into his pocket.
To complete the act, he wrapped up the whole basin of meat with a plastic bag, carried the bag out of the Kitchen, and took out his phone to scan the QR code.
Coincidentally, the lady boss had just finished taking orders and was walking towards the Kitchen with a smile. When she ran into Chen Kai scanning the code, she quickly said with a grin, "Young man, you've packed everything up?"
Chen Kai nodded, "Yes, it's all packed, it's all here."
He also casually lifted the plastic bag in his hand to show the meat filling inside to the lady boss.
"Hehe, alright. If you guys like eating this, then... then I'll take care of your lunch from now on."
The boss said with a smile, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Remember, if it's good, come find me. I can definitely handle lunch for your twenty-plus people all by myself, and I'll give you a discount."
Chen Kai quickly nodded, "Got it, lady boss. I'll head off first, and if it's good, I'll come back to you."
"Deal!"
After saying this, Chen Kai hurried away. When he walked out of the restaurant and headed towards his mercedes-benz car, he passed a trash can.
He had originally intended to throw the meat filling directly into the trash can, but upon taking a closer look at the overpass nearby, he noticed a homeless old man under it.
He decided to walk over there instead. It would be a bit wasteful to just throw it away, and giving it to a sanitation worker... he wouldn't run into one, plus his hand had been inside, which wasn't great.
It was perfect; the homeless man was likely hungry. As long as the meat filling was cooked, it could be eaten. Being able to have the next meal was already a luxury, so he wouldn't mind whether or not his hands had been in the meat filling.
He walked quickly under the overpass and placed the meat filling on the old man's table.
"Old man, this is for you. It's fresh; just cook it in a pot tonight and you can eat it."
The old man, who was hiding in the corner worrying about his next meal and shivering, saw that Chen Kai was truly giving him food.
He immediately bowed with his hands clasped together, "Thank you... thank you."
Chen Kai smiled, "You're welcome."
He turned and walked away, thinking that it was a good deed done.
He immediately took the mutton fat jade home and carefully rinsed it again. He had been too rushed when rinsing it at the restaurant, only washing off the meat scraps on the ring.
The slippery oil stains on the ring hadn't been washed off.
Following an online tutorial, he washed it with baking soda, which wouldn't damage the jade, to absorb the oil and remove the grime, and only then did he store the ring away properly.
Only then did he start thinking about how to sell this mutton fat jade ring.
After thinking for a long time, he realized jade dealers might not necessarily buy it, so he decided to just ask Zheng Liu Chang tomorrow.
Just then, Chen Kai's phone suddenly rang.
He picked up his phone and took a look. Wasn't the person sending him a message the Little foreigner from before?
Why was he messaging him so suddenly? And he seemed so anxious.
He had sent three or four messages in a row, and it even showed that the other party was still typing.
Chen Kai raised an eyebrow, picked up his phone, and took a look.
【Little foreigner: Are you there, brother? Are you there?】
【Little foreigner: The Old Pakan material I sold you last time, have you sold it yet?】
【Little foreigner: I want to buy it back for 120,000. Can I? You'd make a net profit of 80,000, and there's no risk. How about it?】
Chen Kai raised an eyebrow. This Little foreigner was really getting anxious.
It showed that the Jade Market was truly blowing up. It was only the third day, and it was already blowing up?
Since that was the case... he wasn't in a hurry to sell everything at once. The market price would only get higher day by day.
But he couldn't be greedy. If he got greedy, he would be ruined. He had to sell one or two pieces a day; he needed a stable sales channel.
As for this Little foreigner... he would just tell him it was sold out. Make 80,000? That would mean he and Liu Yunshang would only make 40,000 each, which was pointless.
At the very least, they had to make 100,000 each, for a total price of 200,000, before he would sell.
That was the price that fit the system; otherwise, making money wouldn't be interesting.
He quickly typed a reply, "Sorry brother, it's gone."
After replying, he casually picked up a piece of Ice Yang Green Old Pakan material, went downstairs, drove, and headed towards Jade Street.
He would see if he could sell it on Jade Street, or selling it directly to Xiao Chen would also work.
But Xiao Chen might not buy it; after all, he didn't buy it at the time.
Plus, he had bought it for 100,000 directly, making a risk-free profit of 50,000, so the other party might feel unbalanced.
Chen Kai decided to go there first and see the situation before deciding. If it was possible, he would sell it to Xiao Chen.
He quickly took the stone downstairs and drove towards Jade Street.
...
Twenty minutes later, he parked his car in the parking lot of Jade Street and walked into Jade Street with the raw stone.
At this moment, A Tao and Xiao Chen were chatting at the entrance.
Both of them looked worried and let out several long sighs.
A Tao scratched his head, "Damn it, I never expected that the price of Old Pakan material would skyrocket. And our shop is short on Old Pakan material. Now that it's so expensive, I don't even know if we can recover the costs."
Xiao Chen also looked helpless, "Sigh~ Now Old Pakan has become a hot collectible for the big Jade Shops. Who knows when they will resume shipping routes in Myanmar."
"I can't afford it~~ And just at this time, so many customers are coming to me asking for Old Pakan material. Damn it, am I supposed to sell at a loss?"
"The market has increased by nearly 200%. Material that was originally 50,000, they are now asking for 200,000 right off the bat. It's impossible to even negotiate."
A Tao was also full of helplessness, "Sigh, if I had known, I would have collected more. How great would it be if someone were selling Old Pakan material at a low price right now?"
Xiao Chen smiled disdainfully, "Are you dreaming? At a time like this, everyone is rushing to sell at high prices. I could even accept a premium, as long as they don't gouge me!"
Chen Kai listened to their conversation and smiled faintly.
Wasn't A Tao doing quite well a couple of days ago? What happened, is he struggling now?
So even big Jade Shops are affected by this wave of impact.
He really hadn't expected that.
The two of them noticed Chen Kai's arrival at the same time. Xiao Chen immediately stood up, "Brother Chen, you're here? What do you want to sell this time?"
A Tao also smiled, "What jade did you bring this time, my great gambling god?"
"If it's junk, just give it to Xiao Chen, haha."
Chen Kai smiled faintly and took out the Ice Yang Green Old Pakan material from his pocket.
