Zhang Mingyue thought to herself that Qin Yun had too big an appetite.

The jade raw material bought for ten million might not even sell for twenty million.

"Xiaoqi!"

However, she quickly stopped her sister and looked at Qin Yun, apologizing: "Mr. Zhao, my sister has a bad temper, let me apologize on her behalf. Xiaoqi, apologize quickly."

Zhang Mingqi originally disliked Qin Yun, but subjected to her sister’s pressure, she reluctantly said, "Sorry."

Yet she secretly cursed inside: "You big fat man! You want so much, be careful not to overeat!"

After Zhang Mingqi apologized, Zhang Mingyue continued, "Mr. Zhao, ten million is too high."

She glanced at Zhang Mingqi, and Qin Yun said nothing now; he looked at Zhang Mingyue and continued, "Miss Zhang, the ten million I mentioned is only the price for the jade raw materials I provide; if I provide more, then the cooperation fee will be higher."

"Generally speaking, the price of jade raw stones I provide should be matched by your cooperation fee. This way, the jade materials I provide can all be cooperated with your Yueqi Jewelry Store."

A slight smile spread across his face, but it was like a big bad wolf, scaring the two little lambs in front of him.

Zhang Mingqi clenched her right hand, loosened it, and then clenched it again. Her breathing increased noticeably as she forcibly controlled her temper.

Zhang Mingyue also furrowed her brow slightly.

"Mr. Zhao, your demands are too high." After pondering for a while, Zhang Mingyue shook her head.

She’s unlikely to agree to such cooperation.

With this approach, she’s not even sure she could profit.

"Miss Zhang, the jade industry is a highly profitable one. You should be well aware if my demands are high."

Hearing this, Qin Yun smiled and said, "Of course, I can provide jade raw stones worth over fifty million."

Just from Jin Xin’s stone gambling venue, he got jade worth eighteen million, and by visiting other places, Qin Yun was confident he could exceed fifty million.

He now had enough time.

"Over fifty million?" Hearing this, Zhang Mingyue felt a movement in her heart.

If there were that much, there would certainly still be profits.

Qin Yun looked at her and said again, "Okay, think about it. If you disagree, forget it. I won’t be staying here for long; I will leave in seven days."

"Seven days?" Hearing this, Zhang Mingyue was taken aback.

Right then, Zhang Mingqi couldn’t help but speak up, "Seven days? Can you obtain jade raw materials worth over fifty million in seven days?"

Unless Qin Yun had stocks on hand, she simply wouldn’t believe it.

Glancing at Zhang Mingqi, Qin Yun didn’t answer her question.

This act of ignoring made Zhang Mingqi grind her teeth in anger.

After Qin Yun finished speaking, he said no more, sipping tea slowly, while Zhang Mingyue’s face clearly showed a hint of struggle, until after more than ten seconds, she finally said: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, if you can provide raw jade materials worth over fifty million, I can offer an equivalent cooperation fee."

It now appeared quite possible that Qin Yun had raw jade materials. In the stone gambling market, when good materials emerge, several jewelry shops often scramble and bid for it, paying more than the actual market price.

In fact, their jewelry shop was mainly in desperate need of raw materials, and they didn’t want to miss out if Qin Yun had them.

After she finished speaking, Zhang Mingyue added: "We need good quality jade materials; as for low-grade ones, we don’t need much."

In the jade industry, middle to high-grade materials are rare and are what they need most.

"Alright." Qin Yun nodded.

With his luck, at store prize draws, he’d hit the jackpot every time.

While in the stone gambling market, he’d sure to hit the highest grade of jade.

"Next, Miss Zhang, prepare sufficient funds, and I will deliver the jade raw materials to your jewelry shop." Qin Yun smiled.

"Okay, I have things to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now."

Having said that, Qin Yun said no more and directly turned and left.

Watching Qin Yun leave, Zhang Mingqi bit her teeth and then said to Zhang Mingyue, "Sis, do you really want to offer such a high cooperation fee?"

The cooperation fee is too high, and spending it is really a lot of money.

"Yes, though the cooperation fee is relatively high, if Mr. Zhao can really provide so much jade raw material, we still profit, and it greatly eases our jewelry shop’s tight supply." Zhang Mingyue nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingqi suddenly fell silent.

She secretly mused, doubting if Qin Yun could truly come through.

After all, if he really had stocks, wouldn’t Qin Yun have disposed of them already?

If he had no stock, could he get jade raw materials worth over fifty million in seven days?

...

Unaware of the conversation between Zhang Mingyue and Zhang Mingqi, Qin Yun left the hotel and directly headed to a stone gambling market by car.

He continuously selected, buying nearly a million worth of raw material, then cutting them all open afterward.

"Fifteen million!"

Staring at each cut-open jade raw material, having an old expert estimate the value, Qin Yun’s lips formed a faint smile.

"Tomorrow, again!"

By now it was late at night, Qin Yun didn’t go any further.

The next day came, and Qin Yun continued to the next spot.

Because of what happened with Zhang Mingyue before, Qin Yun was much more cautious.

Zhang Mingyue gave him a business card, seeking cooperation, which felt peculiar, and afterward, after some digging, Qin Yun found out Zhang Mingyue and her group often visited the stone gambling market; they might have seen him there, possibly deducing he was a stone gambling expert. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Thus, when Qin Yun picked the raw materials, he slowed down significantly.

In a blink, five days passed, and Qin Yun roamed throughout Hang City’s stone gambling market.

As "Bandit Qin" passes through, likely not much good material would be left in Hang City’s stone gambling market afterward.

Carrying the cut-open jade raw materials, Qin Yun returned once more to Yueqi Jewelry Store!

"Ninety million jade raw material, old pit glass type, water type..." Zhang Mingyue, gazing at them, her eyes were full of delight.

She had been waiting all along, worrying that Qin Yun might back out.

And now, Qin Yun brought so much jade at once, with most of it being of high quality, exactly the mid-to-high-grade jade their store lacked.

"Miss Zhang, can your Yueqi Jewelry Store handle this much?" Qin Yun smiled.

"Yes!" Zhang Mingyue quickly nodded.

It’s a joke, if such were sent to other jewelry stores, they’d surely want it too; if she refuses, isn’t she just courting trouble?

"Very well, according to our cooperation agreement, the jade raw material price is ninety million, so the cooperation fee is ninety million, totaling one hundred and eighty million." Qin Yun said calmly.
