These stones are worth an average of five thousand taels each, totaling one million five hundred thousand taels, of which Qiao Lian'er can take seven hundred and fifty thousand taels.
This is different from the situation of the two expedition teams. The expedition teams get the best goods directly from her, in large quantities, so the price is high and the profit is large. She selects the best goods for Captain Tang from the miscellaneous stone areas of various warehouse districts, and the output of good goods is small.
Boss Zuo beamed and handed a large wad of silver notes to Qiao Lian'er: "Miss Chen, please take these."
Just as Qiao Lian'er was about to take her leave, she remembered something: "Boss Zuo, future collaborations will be different; the contract needs to be revised."
Mr. Zuo's heart skipped a beat. The cooperation was going well, could it be that something had changed?
"Miss Chen, please, please speak."
Seeing his nervous and uneasy look, Qiao Lian'er found it somewhat amusing: "From now on, you will directly get the goods from Miss Shui. They will all be high-quality products, so it won't be like before where you had to gamble with luck. The cost and consequences are incomparable. If I take 50% of the profits, you won't make any money."
The value of the raw stones has been roughly determined in the warehouse area.
Once reminded, Boss Zuo immediately realized that things were different now. If he followed the previously agreed-upon contract, he would lose a fortune.
Fortunately, Ms. Chen is an honest person and brought this up herself. Otherwise, he would have suffered in silence, burdened by the contract, and unable to voice his grievances. Such a cooperation was destined to be short-lived.
The two drafted a new contract, under which Qiao Lian'er could take 10%, because the appraisal from Miss Shui was only a rough estimate, while she could make a more precise judgment.
This is also an extra avenue that Qiao Lian'er has reserved for herself. Not only Boss Zuo, but other families in the jade gambling industry will also seek her out for accurate appraisals.
Looking at the new contract and then at Miss Chen's figure disappearing outside the door, Boss Zuo sighed, "It's a blessing to cooperate with someone like Miss Chen."
For the rest of the time, Qiao Lian'er went to his fiefdom to train the troops. The ten thousand newly arrived soldiers were all veterans with several years of service and had a lot of training experience. With the guidance of his uncles and brothers, they quickly got the hang of things and the training became easy.
When she got tired, Pei Shijiu would take over, and they worked like this until sunset.
Back in Kachin, the villagers began to go up the mountain at dawn, but they didn't look too good. They seemed to have been frightened, and some of them were in a daze, as if they hadn't recovered from the unexpected event.
They were discussing it anxiously, their state of mind was uneasy, and some were even shivering.
"Aunt Duye's head was chopped off, and blood gushed out high, staining most of Uncle Yin's yard red. She died a terrible death."
"And then there's Brother Labu, who was stabbed through the chest. He didn't die immediately, but then his throat was slit. It's too cruel. Uncle Yin has never killed any villagers before. What if this is just the beginning? How will we live in the future?"
"He is a devil. Our lives have finally started to look up, and he is going to destroy them."
“Miss Water helped us, but this place can’t tolerate a good person like her. This is hell.”
"What should we do? This mine has just started operating. Are we just going to let Water Girl leave and go back to our old lives?" An old woman sobbed. "But what if Water Girl is in danger if we stay here?"
Qiao Lian'er landed behind a small hillside, taking in the scene and hearing the words.
Uncle killed someone, and the victim was an unarmed villager. Has he gone mad?
