Chapter Twenty-Six: Purchasing Jade

"Jade? Does Mr. Lin have connections in the jade industry?" Li Hang's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

He had just been thinking that it would be great if the other party had connections in the jade industry.

“I can get all sorts of jade from a friend of mine, but I’m not sure which kind of jade would be the most cost-effective for me,” Lin Yun said with a slight smile.

"All kinds of jade?" Li Hang's eyes lit up.

Judging from Lin Yun's tone, his friend seems to have considerable influence.

He already regarded Lin Yun as a scion of a powerful family, and by extension, he regarded the friends Lin Yun mentioned as being on the same level as Lin Yun. This excited him greatly. If he could establish a stable connection with the jade industry, why would he have to worry about not being able to open his gold and jewelry store?

“I have some information on jade of different grades and prices here. Mr. Lin can take a look. Various best-selling jades are marked on it…” Li Hang walked to a table next to him, took out several books from the drawer below, and handed them to Lin Yun.

These books were ones he would occasionally flip through during his free time when he came to this hotel; they weren't valuable.

"Thank you, Mr. Li," Lin Yun said, taking the book.

As he spoke, Lin Yun had already opened the books. At the same time, he mentally activated the Cosmic Trading System and quickly browsed the information about jade.

"Mr. Lin, you're too kind," Li Hang said with a smile, not saying anything more so as not to disturb Lin Yun as he looked through the documents.

"Sure enough, my feeling last time was right. Buying jade from the Cosmic Trading System and reselling it in reality is a good approach. Most items on the Cosmic Trading System are based on practicality, while luxury goods on Earth are valued for their rarity. But these rare items are nothing in the grand scheme of things in the universe..."

"For example, on Earth, many types of jade are valued for their transparency and purity because they are relatively rare. However, their practical value is not much different from those jades that are not very transparent or pure, and their prices on the cosmic trading system are not much different..."

As Lin Yun continued to examine the document, he nodded slightly in approval.

Before this, he had occasionally paid attention to information about jade, but only glanced at it. Now, he wanted to confirm it again.

"Mr. Li, what's your account number? I'll pay you a deposit of two million. Could you please help me collect some gold? As for the jade, I'll contact my friend later and he can bring some for you to see." After a moment, Lin Yun had a better idea of ​​what to do. He looked up at Li Hang and smiled.

“That’s no problem, but I wonder how much gold Mr. Lin plans to buy first?” Li Hang asked.

As he spoke, he took out a card from his breast pocket, handed it to Lin Yun with both hands, and said with a smile, "This is my account number."

"Mr. Li, please send over the several dozen kilograms of gold from your store first, and then help me purchase another five hundred kilograms of gold. Is that alright?" Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.

Five hundred kilograms of gold is worth more than one hundred million Chinese yuan. As long as the jade business is viable, it shouldn't be difficult for him to earn that much money. Power banks are already being sold on the market, and if he makes some more moves in the next couple of days, he can recoup a considerable amount of funds.

"Five hundred kilograms of gold?" Li Hang's eyes lit up.

“No problem. The price of one gram of gold is 271 yuan on the market right now. How about I give Mr. Lin 265 yuan?” Li Hang tentatively asked.

At 265 yuan per gram, because it is pure gold, there are no miscellaneous expenses to be made. However, since there is no need for a storefront or manpower for sales, he can earn a profit of about 10 yuan per gram. With 500 kilograms, he can earn approximately 5 million yuan.

Undoubtedly, this is a big business deal.

"No problem," Lin Yun said with a smile.

He doesn't care about the price difference of a few yuan or a dozen yuan per gram. He's in business with a price difference of nearly ten times. If he were to haggle over such a small difference, he would be too stingy. To put it simply, he eats the meat and doesn't mind his partners drinking some soup too.

"I've already transferred two million. Mr. Li, you can check it." Lin Yun said after successfully transferring the money via his mobile phone.

"I'll arrange it right away." Li Hang glanced at the message on his phone, nodded readily, and immediately started calling his subordinates to do it.

Beside her, Li Jiayun watched this scene with a somewhat astonished expression.

A deal worth hundreds of millions of yuan was settled just like that?

You really can't judge a book by its cover. I never expected this young man to have such great wealth.

“I’ll go upstairs to be with my girlfriend first. After my friend brings the jade over, I’ll discuss the hotel with Mr. Li, how about that?” Lin Yun stood up and said.

"No problem, no problem, Mr. Lin, please go ahead with your work. I'll arrange the gold purchase for you first." Li Hang had just hung up a phone call when he heard Lin Yun say this, so he quickly stood up and shook hands with Lin Yun.

Purchasing 500 kilograms of gold at once is no small matter; it cannot be resolved with just one phone call. He needs to contact other people and make other arrangements.

Lin Yun had already paid a deposit of two million, so he wasn't afraid that Lin Yun would fool him.

"Okay." Lin Yun nodded and turned to leave.

Not far away, some female waitresses looked at Lin Yun with envy as he walked away.

They had mostly overheard Lin Yun's conversation with their boss, and they were all secretly amazed by the young man's extravagant spending.

"I wonder what this boy's girlfriend looks like..."

"He wants to buy this hotel because it's where his girlfriend confessed her love to him. How romantic! His girlfriend must be very beautiful..."

Some of the waitresses whispered among themselves, envying both Lin Yun's wealth and his girlfriend.

The elevator is going up. Inside the elevator.

"According to the analysis of the cosmic trading system, this jade should be jadeite from Earth. According to the information I just checked, jadeite seems to be selling very well on Earth right now. A top-quality piece of jadeite the size of a fist can actually sell for hundreds of millions. It's unbelievable..."

A sharp glint flashed in the depths of Lin Yun's eyes as he was secretly surprised.

Jade can store special energy, and its price is not cheap in many civilizations around the universe.

He might not get a good deal buying some low-grade jade on the cosmic trading system, and might even lose money, but the prices of top-grade jade on Earth are so outrageous that he would never lose money.

"Let's choose these types of jade... Let's buy a few to try first..."

He quickly selected and bought more than a dozen pieces of top-quality jade, spending a total of ten spiritual energy points.

By the time he exited the elevator, the transaction was already complete. He estimated that within a minute, the dozen or so pieces of top-quality jade would be transferred to his trading space, where he could retrieve them at any time.

However, he couldn't just show it to Li Hang directly, because then he wouldn't be able to explain where the jade came from.

Lin Yun started calling Ding Wei, asking him to buy a better suitcase and bring it over.
