Chapter 60: Jia Lei, who doesn't talk much!

"I've been working hard for three years to set up this jewelry store, but because I don't have enough strength and financial resources, many friends and connoisseurs think it's not reliable!" Huang Weichang said helplessly.

"It's really unreliable, and the strength of your small store can't guarantee the future income of the store at all. The jewelry store sells valuables, what if you roll up other people's goods and money? I'm afraid that many people are reluctant to join because of this!" Jia Lei picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite and asked casually.

"But we've known each other for so many years, how can they not believe me as a person?" Huang Weichang said disappointedly.

"Wealth moves people's hearts! Not to mention that there are a few people who can not be tempted by the real money and silver year. Jia Lei said and took a sip of the hot tea for the guests, he was a little anxious to eat just now, and he accidentally choked.

"Now that you know everything, why are you coming to me for this?" Huang Wei often asked.

"Doing business with you! Didn't I say it at the beginning? Jia Lei said.

"What business do you want to do?" asked Huang Weichang.

"I want to work with you to open that jewelry store!" Mr. Jia said.

"What did you say? I heard you right?" Huang Weichang stood up in surprise when he heard this.

"You heard me right! I mean I'm going to work with you to open a jewelry store! I'm going to invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars in you plus these diamonds for the first batch of goods, and I'm going to take half of the shares in this jewelry store. However, the money from the sale of these diamonds is not within the scope of investment, they are only lent to you to support the scene, and you can take a part of the sales as a commission. Jia Lei said.

"10 million Hong Kong dollars plus a batch of diamonds, is it really fake?" Huang Wei often asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true! Jia Lei clapped his hands and said.

"Yes, boss!" said Kerr, telling his men to bring in the ivory, while he himself took out a few black velvet bags from his bag.

"Whoa!" Jia Lei casually took one and fell on the table, some transparent stones rolled out of it, and one almost rolled to the ground because it was too round.

"Be careful!" Huang Weichang hurriedly reached out to catch the rough stone.

"This ...... Is this a rough diamond?" Huang Wei often asked, holding the stone in his hand and shining it into the sun.

"Yes! If the Kimberlite diamond is a fake one, the origin is in Siberia, and I have a certificate of purchase and sale from the mine. Jia Lei said, and Farr immediately took out a stack of proofs and handed it over.

"These are gem-quality rough diamonds, and after cutting and polishing, you can get more than one carat of diamonds, which is good, but our main customers are ordinary citizens, and I am afraid that few people can afford this kind of large carat diamond rings, and the sales will not be too high. Huang Wei often said.

"But that's enough to support you!" Jia Lei said, picking one out of several bags and pouring them out, this time all of them were rough diamonds of more than two carats.

"Enough! Enough! With these high-grade goods, my jewelry store can be opened!" Huang Weichang said excitedly.

"Don't be happy, it's not all! In fact, these diamonds are good, but the sales cycle is too long, which is not conducive to the return of funds, I brought a batch of cheap diamonds this time, all of them are rough stones! After they are polished, they are estimated to be all under one carat, as far as I know, this should be the best-selling style. Jia Lei said.

"You're right! This is indeed the best-selling style and price, can you show me the raw materials?" asked Huang Weichang excitedly.

"I'm afraid not, because there are too many to carry, so I put it in the safe. Jia Lei said.

Although Jia Lei had heard of Huang Weichang's character and various deeds in his previous life, Jia Lei still would not easily trust a stranger he met for the first time.

"I'm sorry! I was reckless, I was just too excited. Huang Weichang said hurriedly.

"It's okay, I understand! I'm not going to give you these things for a while, you're going to have to help me cut out these diamonds in a processing plant. And I'm here because I've heard that you know a lot of veterans in the jewelry industry! I have a few excellent products that I need to work on, not just diamonds but also a batch of ivory. Jia Lei said, Kerr immediately took off the ivory flannel cloth.

"I don't know about ivory, but the luster looks good! I know a few good carvers, and I can ask them to carve it for you. It's a pity that this ivory is too small to make a big ornament. Huang Weichang looked at a palm-sized piece of ivory in front of him and said.

"I had someone sawn off a whole tusk on purpose, and the whole ivory was too long. It's not easy to carry!" Jia Lei said.

"It's a waste of you to do this...... Huang Weichang said regretfully.

"You have to get used to it, this batch of my ivory is very large, and basically it has to be carved and sold in sections, otherwise ordinary people can't afford it. Jia Lei said.

"But the tusks are only more than a meter long, so why do they need to be divided into so many sections?" asked Huang Wei in confusion.

"I'm not the tusks of Asian elephants, but the tusks of mammoths that survived the Ice Age, each tusk is at least 1.5 meters long!" Jia Lei explained to him.

"Although I don't understand this, I can help you find someone who knows how to do it!" Huang Wei often thought about it and said.

"Okay, what about the cooperation? Jia Lei asked.

"Of course I do, but aren't you really afraid that I'll run away with your money and diamonds?" Huang Wei often asked.

"Whoa!" the sound of a bullet loading sounded, and a pistol was pressed against his temple.

"Of course I'm not afraid, I'm afraid it's you! Since I dare to spend so much money and diamonds to cooperate with you, of course I have no fear. These former agents of the KGB are my bodyguards, do you think you can escape their sight?" Jia Lei asked after taking a sip of tea.

"No...... Yes!" Huang Weichang swallowed hard and foamed.

"That's fine, put the gun away and don't scare our new friends. Jia Lei said, and Kerr immediately took the gun back into his arms.

"Do you still remember the Sino-British agreement a few years ago? Hong Kong Island is about to return to the motherland, and if you want to do business here in the future, you may have to deal with the mainland government! I have someone over there ......," Jia Lei said meaningfully.

Liwei is not just brute force, the real threat is definitely not force but power!

"It's a pleasure to work with you, and with a strong partner like you, I can more easily convince others to join. Huang Wei often said sincerely.

Although Jia Lei's action of putting the gun on his head was very unfriendly, Huang Weichang didn't mind at all, Huang Weichang knew that if he really wanted to make the jewelry store bigger and stronger, he needed such a partner with strength, skill and backing!

"This is my business card, we can call in the future if there is something! If you have any difficulties, just say it, I will try my best to help if I can, after all, this will be my own industry in the future." Jia Lei said.

"It's not good to always ask you to help, I really don't know when I can help you!" Huang Wei often couldn't help but say.

"You can help me now, I recently got two gemstones, and I just want someone to help me make jewelry and identify what gemstones are. Jia Lei said.

"Hmm...... According to common sense, shouldn't you first determine what kind of gemstone you want to buy before you buy it?" Huang Weichang asked cautiously, only then did he realize that his partner was too young...... It's very likely that some aspects are unreliable!

"Oh, these two gems were not bought, they were given by an elder in the family. This is a small test given to me by the elders, she just let me choose among the boxes of gems, as for what gems I choose, it depends on my luck and vision!" Jia Lei pouted and said helplessly.

"Then I'm afraid I'm going to have to find an appraiser uncle to help you see! I don't know if you have any doubts about gemstones, because different gems have different appraisers and setting schools. Huang Wei often asked embarrassedly.

"One piece is definitely an emerald, which was a gift from the original owner to my elders, and the other is a blue gemstone...... This is the one that needs to be identified. Jia Lei said.

"Give emeralds as gifts!" Huang Wei was often shocked when he heard this, and Jia Lei's background was unfathomable.

"I'm going to call you to ask a few masters for tea, don't you know your gemstone belt?" Huang Wei often asked.

"Bring it!" Jia Lei nodded, one of the purposes of his visit to the jewelry store was to identify this gem that he had been thinking about for several days.

"Let's go to the Cantonese teahouse, I have been abroad for a while, and now I want to go to the Cantonese teahouse to eat authentic Chinese food. Jia Lei picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea and said. After eating a piece of snack, he became more and more hungry, so he could only drink some tea to fill his stomach.

"Master Sang, Master Lan, and Boss Gan, you are here, please go here, I have booked a private room. Huang Wei often stands at the door of the teahouse to greet several veterans in the jewelry industry.

"Xiao Huang, why did you come to us?" asked Master Sang.

"I said on the phone, this time it was a friend who asked me to ask a few people to help identify a gemstone. Huang Wei often said as he walked.

"Huh, Xiaohuang, you are not honest, if it is really enough to identify gemstones, Master Sang and me, why did you call Boss Gan too." Master Lan asked, turning two walnuts.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, in fact, I only called three people today for selfish purposes, do you remember that I have been busy preparing for the jewelry store in the past two years?" Huang Wei often stopped and asked.

"But Xiao Huang, our small jewelry stores are barely maintained, and it is impossible to hand over all the goods to you, so don't you lose the name of your family? Boss Gan said.

"There may have been shortages in the past, but it won't be a problem in the future. Today we are going to meet the largest shareholder of our future jewelry store, he promised to give me 10 million Hong Kong dollars as start-up capital, and will also take out a batch of diamond jewelry to sell in the newly opened jewelry store, to support the store! In this way, the trouble of opening the store is solved, and we only need to gather another 10 million worth of goods. Huang Wei often whispered.

"Oh, I've been in the business for so long, but I've never heard of a few people with such a big hand. You won't be relying on those jewelry families surnamed Zhou, right?" asked Boss Gan.

"No, the reason why you haven't heard of this big boss is simply because he is not a person in the industry at all, I have already talked about it. He was a layman's little master, and he had money in his hand and bought a lot of rough diamonds. He wanted to go to the jewelry store in a daze, but he didn't know anything about it! Huang Wei often said.

"Oh, that's kind of interesting, I'd like to see where this stunned boy came from, and the water in the jewelry store is so deep that I'm not afraid of drowning. Boss Gan said.

"I'll take you to see it, but everyone's attitude should be better, don't scare our simple young master away. Huang Wei often instructed.

"Got it! We've all been mixed up for decades, isn't it easy to coax a kid who has just started in the industry? Master Lan said.

Then Huang Weichang took them to the booked private room, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Jia Lei happily eating a cage of shrimp dumplings, and several bodyguards stood straight behind Jia Lei.

"Oh! What a 'little' young master!" Boss Gan said in surprise when he saw Jia Lei after entering the door. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
