"Brother Lee, how has business been these past few days?" Lin Yun asked with a smile.
.
"Fantastic, the number of custors has increased several tis over, haha!" Hang Lee laughed heartily.
"Though we don't have enough high-end jade jewelry in our store. Many people co in, so wanting to buy, others just wanting to see, but we simply don't have enough stock. Therefore, several powerful jewelry stores have seized the opportunity to suppress us with promotions and such…" paused for a mont, Hang Lee said with a bitter smile.
Competitors often make the worst enemies. Relative to other jewelry stores, Shen City was an extensive and high-quality market. Naturally, Shen City had many powerful jewelry stores and the rising montum of Lee's Jewelry store naturally attracted suppression from these powerful competitors.
Unfortunately, many of the jades he bought from Lin Yun were not yet made into finished products. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been suppressed so severely.
"Could it be, Brother Lee, that the jade you bought from the other day was insufficient? Or has Brother Lee already sold them all?" Lin Yun was taken aback.
"How could that be possible, the jade I bought last ti was plentiful, it's just…" Hang Lee hurriedly explained.
Then, he told Lin Yun about their current situation.
Because the jade he bought from Lin Yun were all top-grade, they needed to be very careful in the production process. Each piece of jewelry could not be made quickly, and most importantly, Lee's Jewelry did not have many expert jewelry makers. They were afraid of wasting the jade if they let diocre craftsn work on it.
"I see…" Lin Yun pondered thoughtfully.
This problem seed easy to solve, he had never thought of it until Hang Lee reminded him.
There were many jewelry-making equipnt on the Cosmic Trading System.
Moreover, there were many exquisite designs.
The vast starry sky, the weird and beautiful sceneries, the tall and mighty, and the cute Star Beasts, were all thought of as designs.
"If that's the problem, I can solve it." Lin Yun gave a slight smile and said.
So owners of the Cosmic Trading System even made a fortune by carving all sorts of items, why couldn't he?
"Does Brother Lin know any expert jewelry-makers?" Hang Lee asked in astonishnt.
"Not only that, Brother Lee, if you have ti, let show you so jewelry. You'll understand when you see them." Lin Yun said with a smile.
"I am available anyti." Hang Lee answered imdiately.
"Good." Lin Yun nodded.
Later, the two agreed to et at Qingyun Hotel.
Half an hour later, they both arrived one after the other. This ti, instead of eting in the restaurant, they t in a small conference room.
On his way there, Lin Yun had already purchased a jewelry-making machine and had selected so jewelry styles. He had carved them from top-grade jade.
"Brother Lee, what do you think of these things?" Lin Yun asked cheerfully as he placed the items on the table.
There were several bracelets, rings, pendants, earrings, and so ornants. Among them was a fierce beast ferociously roaring towards the sky, giving off a strong aura, and another was a cute beast with big eyes staring at you, very adorable. There were also several sceneries that looked very nice, realistic and dreamlike.
"This...this...this..." Hang Lee stuttered, his face changing dramatically as he looked at the jewelry.
These pieces were too exquisite, each one like a work of art.
Even Elder Zhang couldn't carve such fine pieces.
Looking at these exquisite pieces, he couldn't bring himself to touch them, for fear of breaking them.
"So, no good?" Lin Yun laughed.
His words were sowhat teasing. Although he didn't understand Huaxia's carving style, he was confident that these pieces were well made. He knew Hang Lee must have been stunned.
"If these pieces of jewelry don't make the cut, then nothing will," Hang Lee took a deep breath, looking at Lin Yun, and said with a bitter smile, "Unexpectedly, Brother Lin, you knew such an impressive master engraver. I've seen a few pieces engraved by top engravers before, and these pieces are just as outstanding.
Most importantly, the engravings on these pieces are very unique, sothing I've never seen before, which greatly enhances their value."
"Well, are you planning to take these pieces, Brother Lee?" Lin Yun blinked.
"Brother Lin, you may not be too clear about the value of these pieces. Good carving can greatly increase the value of a jade piece. These pieces, each and every one of them is a gem. Their value is unimaginable if used well. I really want to buy them but I've just bought those jades from you. I'm kind of strapped for cash," Hang Lee said with a bitter smile.
"These pieces are valuable?" Lin Yun said in surprise.
He had rely used five pieces of jade to carve these, each piece of jade was pretty similar to those he had previously sold to Hang Lee.
"Very valuable. The combined value of these pieces even exceeds that of the jades you sold before," Hang Lee nodded earnestly.
"Uh..." Lin Yun was sowhat speechless.
He truly had no idea that this kind of carving could be so valuable.
The total value of the items carved from five pieces of jade exceeded the value of fifteen pieces of jade, more than tripling in value.
And the cost of this kind of carving was almost negligible, as he only spent so spiritual energy points when buying the equipnt.
If only he had known, he would have carved those jades first before selling them.
But it didn't really matter, he had sold the jade to Hang Lee, and his impression of Hang Lee was quite good, so he didn't regret it. Moreover, he sold Hang Lee fewer than twenty pieces of jade in total, which weren't worth many spiritual energy points.
"If, Brother Lin, you can wait until I sell those jade pieces..." Hang Lee looked at the exquisite pieces on the table and could not bear to part with them. He gritted his teeth and said.
At this point, he had made up his mind to have Elder Zhang quickly carve those jades. Even if he had to sell the resulting pieces for less, he would deal with them quickly, and use the funds raised to purchase Lin Yun's pieces.
"How about this, Brother Lee, if you don't mind, you can take these pieces and sell them for whatever price you see fit. We'll split the profits, 20-80%, what do you say? You take 20%, I take 80%?" Lin Yun thought for a mont and said.
Having said this, Lin Yun suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Wasn't he competing with Hang Lee for business? If these pieces were sold in Hang Lee's store, would those wealthy custors still be willing and have money to buy other pieces?
"I'm okay with a 30-70% split as well," Lin Yun quickly added.
"Sell these pieces?" Hang Lee said in surprise and joy.
He was truly in love with these pieces. If it weren't for his lack of money, he would have liked to buy them imdiately. Now, upon hearing Lin Yun's proposal for him to sell them, he was overjoyed. Even if he just got the chance to sell these exquisite pieces, he would be very happy and willing to do so!
What's more, Lin Yun was going to give him a share of the profits.
Besides, he knew very well that these pieces, which could be considered works of art, could elevate his store to new heights if handled well.
Lin Yun's concern was sowhat unnecessary.
Shen City had many wealthy people, they wouldn't be coming to his store if the pieces weren't good enough.
His store was lacking high-quality, top-tier pieces.
If his store had a lot of high-quality, top-tier pieces that attracted a lot of wealthy custors, would he worry that the other items in his store would go unsold?
"Agreed, we'll split the profits 30-70%. But, I have a condition," Hang Lee agreed promptly.
"What condition?" Lin Yun asked curiously.
The 30-70% split was actually quite high for Hang Lee. Yet, Hang Lee still had a condition. Lin Yun didn't feel it was excessive, because, judging from his interactions with Hang Lee so far, Hang Lee shouldn't be asking for anything unreasonable.
"I want to transfer 30% of Lee's Jewelry's shares to you," Hang Lee said, smiling slightly.
