Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Chapter 619: Another Large Source of Income

The boss scratched his head and gave a wry smile. This girl asked for 50% right away. She was too harsh.

He knew that in front of such a master, it would be impossible for him to negotiate terms.

"Miss, let me calculate the cost for you. We're going to the foreign country in the southwest to purchase goods. The journey is long, and the manpower, carriages, and various expenses including food and accommodation during the trip will all cost a lot. The 30% I mentioned has already offset 20% of the cost, which is equivalent to splitting it evenly."

Qiao Jianer smiled and said, "Boss, I think I don't know how to calculate. I used to run a tour group. A team of fifty people could travel from the southwest to the capital, round trip in a month, and the cost was only three hundred taels. There was still some surplus."

"A piece of stone is worth three thousand taels. These three hundred taels are only one tenth of it. In this business, stones worth five or six thousand taels, or even ten thousand taels, are inevitable. The cost of traveling is almost fixed. As for the share of the profit, the higher the value, the more the boss gets. The purchase cost is not included."

"How many valuable stones can be picked depends on the boss's discerning eyes, experience, and qualifications. If the purchase cost increases due to a misjudgment, I will not be responsible."

The boss was in a bit of a headache. He couldn't find many reasons to continue to persuade the other party. The most important reason was that he needed help from others and it was not easy to charge those costs to the other party.

I calculated in my mind that if I could get a few more good stones, these costs would not be a big deal.

However, in the business of gambling on stones, even the most experienced people can easily make mistakes.

Qiao Jianer said, "How about this, Boss, give me the address where you buy the goods. I also know a few experts in this field. When the time comes, I can ask her to help you make a judgment."

If she wants to earn more, she has to do it herself.

The boss's eyes lit up.

Indeed, the master must have other extraordinary friends around him.

Qiao Jianer continued, "In order to protect my interests, I won't make a clear assessment of the stone's interior. I'll only give a rough estimate and won't specify its value. Buy them all and I'll make a further assessment."

"Don't try to bribe my friend. There's no way she'll betray me."

Indeed, how could she betray herself?

As a businessman, if there is a convenient way, of course you will think of making connections.

However, Qiao Jianer had said it in advance, and the idea that had not yet arisen in the boss's mind was suppressed.

It's a good thing that someone has defined the scope, which reduces unnecessary cost losses.

Moreover, he can also process and create jewelry by himself, which are all extra profits he earns.

"Okay, since you've done this much, I won't argue with you about that. Let's sign the contract and the cooperation will take effect immediately. I have over 400 stones on my stall, including inventory. Once the contract is signed, you can go and pick some."

Qiao Jianer also agreed happily.

The contract was signed, both parties stamped their fingerprints on it, and each of them held a copy.

The boss's surname is Zuo.

Qiao Lian'er did not use her real name, but adopted the pseudonym Chen Xin. Otherwise, it would be easy to find out that she was a princess just by looking at her name. Sometimes identity can bring convenience to oneself, but sometimes it is a burden.

"Boss Zuo, let's go look at the stones." Qiao Lianer stood up.

Boss Zuo smiled and gestured for invitation.

For convenience, Qiao Jianer put on a veil. There were about a hundred stones on the stall. She scanned them with a space instrument and immediately identified seven good stones.

As agreed upon earlier, she pretended to pick these stones, using different finger gestures to indicate different values.

There was an inconspicuous little stone that was actually worth eight thousand taels. When it was opened, it was found to be full of top-quality jadeite.

Boss Zuo had an idea in his mind and invited Qiao Jianer into the warehouse again.

There were still three hundred pieces in the warehouse, and Qiao Jianer picked out seventeen pieces, all worth more than one thousand taels.

The boss wanted to verify Qiao Jianer's strength, so he asked someone to open a big stone that she said was worth 15,000 taels.

As soon as the stone was opened, the boss's eyes lit up. He quickly looked outside the door and immediately closed the stone again.

He whispered to Qiao Jianer, "Miss Chen, of the stones we just looked at, those under three thousand taels will be given to the guests. For those over three thousand taels, keep one for four thousand and one for seven thousand. The rest will be divided between you and me."

"Let's meet at a place, right at the teahouse we were at. After noon tomorrow, once the stone is cut and proven to be correct, I'll send the money to you."

Cutting the stone was a quick process, and fearing misunderstanding, Boss Zuo added, "With so many customers during the day, it's not good for me to take the stone out from under their noses. I'll have to wait until night to do it. Ahem."

"Okay, let's cooperate for a long time, and everyone just needs to follow the established rules." Qiao Jianer said.

She calculated in her mind that among the twenty-four stones, ten were worth less than three thousand taels. The remaining fourteen stones, excluding the two worth four thousand and seven thousand, had an average price of six thousand taels. She could probably get thirty-six thousand taels.

You can earn so much money just by talking, without any pressure.

Although the materials in the space are sold all over the world, except for the royal families of various countries who have a high demand for durian, lychee, etc. and do not mind the high price, the sales of other materials are all based on the profit accumulated by quantity.

Earning more than 30,000 taels in one go is already one of the major sources of profit.

This is why Qiao Jianer is willing to do the gambling stone business.

The next day at noon, when we arrived at the agreed location, Boss Zuo was already waiting there and had prepared refreshments.

As soon as Qiao Jianer appeared, he pushed a box in front of him.

"Miss Chen, please count it. It's a little over 40,000 taels. There's a detailed list in the box."

A few thousand taels more than expected.

This amount meant there would be no problem. Qiao Jianer just took a quick look at the details and put the box away.

The boss pulled another piece of paper from his sleeve. "The team is about to leave. This is the address we're going to purchase the goods from. Miss Chen, I have to warn you, these places aren't very safe. Either the mountain has been excavated too much and there's a risk of collapse, or someone might see the good stuff and want to steal it. In places with huge profits like that, all kinds of evil are going on. Tell your friends to be careful."

"I understand. Thanks for the reminder, boss." Qiao Jianer put the note away and silently adjusted the location in the space. There is such a place. Due to excessive mining, no grass grows, just like a barren mountain, but it is buried with rich raw stone materials.

Since she was going, she had to earn a little extra money.
