Instead of taking out a bank loan in Shanghai, Yu Shu used all of her demolition compensation plus all of her bank savings to pay for the entire land parcel.
With this arrogant attitude, Ye Chenming easily gained the support of the local government. He then had Yu Shu take the opportunity to obtain the necessary permits and procedures for building a large supermarket.
As for the construction company, Ye Chenming declined the kind recommendations of some people. His Ye family already had its own construction team, and they would not cooperate with outsiders for the time being.
This land has been handed over to Chen Bo. From now on, you, Chen Bo, will be in charge of managing the large supermarket here. As for whether you will receive any shares, that depends entirely on your abilities.
Chen Bo straightened his chest. He had the ability, but lacked experience. He believed he could handle the job by observing and learning more, thinking more, and consulting with Chen Sheng.
Ten days later, Ye Chenming and Yu Shu returned to the capital. They didn't even go home; instead, they picked up Tianru, Ye Wen, and the others and went up the mountain.
Yan Xiaonan gave Zhu Jiajun's phone number to Yu Shu, telling her to sell the jadeite rough when she had time. As for how much to sell it for, she should ask Yan Aidang for a final construction cost, plus the marketing expenses needed for her shopping mall.
Yu Shu readily agreed. Her mother had said that the jade here would be divided into three parts, with Yu Shu getting half, because without her special ability, they wouldn't be able to obtain such good jadeite rough.
The remaining half will go to Tianru and Enming, who are also descendants of the Ye family and Yan Xiaonan's sons, so they naturally have a share of the family's property.
Yu Shu agreed without hesitation. As long as she had money in her pocket, she could go to the Myanmar auction to look at goods. However, she needed to start a business right now, so she didn't plan to do so for the time being.
Zhu Jiajun had been waiting so long that the flowers were practically withering. He even suspected that the phone was broken, so he went out and bought two mobile phones. After trying them many times, he finally realized that the phone was not broken.
My dad is really something. Why does he have to make me wait for the phone call? Can't he just call? But when he thought about the job of that aunt named Nan Nan, he immediately chickened out.
The phone finally rang, and Zhu Baojun answered it in a second, speaking in a voice he had practiced countless times: "Hello, this is Zhu Jiajun, Zhu Baodi's eldest son. Are you Ye Yushu?"
This was the first time Ye Yushu had given such a detailed self-introduction. Thinking of how his uncle Zhu Baodi had taken care of them in the past, he softened his voice and said, "Hello, I am Ye Yushu. May I ask if you know how to cut stones?"
Zhu Jiajun nodded repeatedly, then suddenly realized that he was on the phone and the other person couldn't see him, so he quickly said into the receiver, "I can, I can cut stones. When would you like me to cut your stone?"
"Tomorrow, if you're free." Yu Shu was delighted. It was good that he could cut stones; that meant he understood jade. He could then charge the price he was owed without any haggling.
"Okay, what time will you be coming tomorrow? Will you be coming to your house? And do you have any stone-cutting tools here? If not, I'll bring them with me," Zhu Jiajun asked.
"I think so, but I'm not really sure. Why don't you bring it over? I'll be waiting for you at home at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
After Yu Shu hung up the phone, she asked Tian Ru to move the jade out and put it in the outer courtyard. Tian Ru started moving the jade with great speed, which made Ye Ren shake his head. This kid.
After Yu Shu hung up the phone, Zhu Jiajun happily kissed the phone, then saved Yu Shu's phone number into his phone. He then called Zhu Baodi to tell him that they had arranged a time.
These past few days, Zhu Baodi has been like a headless fly, anxiously waiting for news from Yan Xiaonan. News has arrived from the Myanmar jade auction; the price of raw stones there has risen again, while the quality of the raw stones has dropped by two levels.
They've already cut open many rough stones, but they're all only of medium to low quality jadeite. The jeweler from Taiwan did cut open a piece of yellow jadeite, but the quality isn't very good either, and he absolutely refuses to sell it.
Zhu Baodi quickly packed all the documents and prepared gifts, booked a flight for that day, and arrived in Beijing that evening, planning to visit the eight-courtyard house together the next day.
When Zhu Baodi brought his son to this eight-courtyard house for the first time, he was intimidated by the guards at the gate. Fortunately, Yushu arrived at the gate on time and waved happily to Zhu Baodi, saying, "Hello, Uncle Zhu."
Zhu Jiajun couldn't bear to look at the beautiful girl in front of him, and a voice in his heart told him that he wanted to pursue her.
Seeing his son looking a little dazed, Zhu Baodi knew exactly what was on his mind. The little princess had grown up and was more charming and sweet than when she was a child.
"Be natural, be composed, and don't lose your composure," Zhu Baodi said quickly.
Zhu Jiajun quickly took a deep breath, greeted Yu Shu with an elegant air, and then walked into the courtyard.
Zhu Baodi immediately spotted an elderly man sitting in the living room, with a young boy and a middle-aged man beside him. These were Tianru and Ye Wen. Zhu Baodi quickly went over to greet them.
He presented the gift with utmost respect. Ye Ren was a figure of great stature, and he dared not be presumptuous.
Ye Ren politely invited them to sit down and have a cup of tea first. After all, he was a god of wealth, so it was best to be a little more courteous to him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the stone-cutting officially began. Zhu Jiajun went to the guest room to change into the work clothes he wore for stone cutting. At this moment, all his emotions disappeared, leaving only his seriousness.
Ye Ren nodded inwardly. This young man was not bad. Just from his dedication, he knew he wasn't a good-for-nothing playboy.
Zhu Baodi's original obsequiousness disappeared, and his shrewdness as a businessman was revealed after the stone was cut open; the green color made his eyes narrow into slits.
Emerald, oh emerald, why do you always end up in the little princess's hands? Zhu Baodi held a fist-sized emerald, wishing he could rub it into his heart.
Seeing that Zhu Jiajun was in good spirits, Yu Shu handed him another piece of raw jade. After the stone was cut open, Zhu Baodi was speechless. It was a small piece of chicken-yellow jadeite, and the color was perfect, especially the center part.
This piece of yellow jade is quite large, and its color radiates outwards from the center, gradually fading. The afternoon sunlight shines on this jade, making it as clean as a colorful sunset in the sky.
“Princess Yushu, I’m offering 100 million. Would you be willing to part with it?” Zhu Baodi asked.
Yu Shu glanced at Ye Ren; she didn't know either.
Ye Ren said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu, you handle it. We don't understand these things."
Zhu Baodi laughed. Actually, doing business with people who don't know anything about it is very unpleasant. If you give them too much, they might not know, but if you give them too little, they will definitely know.
Zhu Baodi was eager to befriend the Ye family. He also had a dream that Yu Shu could become their son's princess, or even empress and empress dowager.
