Chapter 40: Chapter 40: A Person you can Exchange With



Following that, Hang Lee started showing Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing the jewelry that had just arrived in their store.

In the meantime, Lin Yun also saw other types of jewelry.

Many counters displayed silver and ordinary jade jewelry, which was relatively cheap. According to Hang Lee, these pieces were designed to make up the numbers and to attract people. Otherwise, the crushing sse of emptiness in such a large gold and jewelry store could intimidate pottial customers from stepping inside.

Moreover, customers who purchased these ordinary pieces of jewelry might pottially become regular clits.

After all, those who lived in Sh City and were willing to purchase jewelry, ev the most humble of customers, usually had some money to spare. With some reluctance, they could afford to buy a more expsive piece of jewelry.

Further inside were gold-set diamonds and higher-quality jade pieces, the cheapest of which were a few thousand dollars each, while more valuable ones ranged from thirty to forty thousand dollars, which wasn't excessively expsive.

No need to go further inside now. The counters suring the ctral area were dedicated to showcasing luxury jewelry.

The cheapest was priced at ts of thousands of dollars, while the more expsive pieces were priced at hundreds of thousands or ev millions.

According to Hang Lee, positioning these expsive pieces where customers could easily see them added a sse of allure and prestige to the gold and jewelry store.

Furthermore, customers who purchased more expsive jewelry typically had more disposable income, and if they took a fancy to a high-d piece, they might be willing to bite the bullet and buy it.

Hang Lee showed Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing these high-d pieces.

Since Hang Lee believed Lin Yun was not an ordinary person, he didn't dare to show him and Xia Qingqing ordinary jewelry.

"So beautiful..."

Undiably, you get what you pay for. High-d jewelry is expsive for a reason. Xia Qingqing was instantly mesmerized wh she saw these pieces and couldn't help exclaiming.

Many wom naturally loved jewelry, and Xia Qingqing was no exception. She rarely visited such jewelry stores. The earlier pieces alone had already captivated her. Compared to those, the aesthetic appeal of these high-d pieces was noticeably higher, instantly catching her eye.

"Brother Lin, these pieces, though not as exceptional as the three stones you sold me, have their unique features. Pick whichever one you and Xia Qingqing like, don't stand on ceremony with me!" Standing by the jewelry priced at ts and hundreds of thousands of dollars, Hang Lee turned to Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing and laughed.

"Brother Lee, this gift is a bit too extravagant, isn't it..." Lin Yun chuckled.

While he could easily splurge millions without batting an eye, jewelry costing hundreds of thousands of dollars was indeed not cheap.

He had only done business with Hang Lee once before. In that transaction at the hotel, Hang Lee had already giv him a lot of discounts. He really felt embarrassed to take more advantage of him.

To be honest, before this, he could never have imagined that a piece of jewelry could sell for hundreds of thousands, ev millions.

Keep in mind, before he got the Cosmic Trading System, he had slaved away for five years just to earn a bit over a million. That was merely the price of one piece of jewelry.

Nonetheless, he didn't really care about these pieces of jewelry now.

He wanted to buy a few pieces for Xia Qingqing.

"Brother Lee, these jewelry pieces are indeed too expsive, I can't accept them." Seeing the prices on these pieces, Xia Qingqing was also tak aback and promptly lifted her head, saying.

A piece of jewelry costing ts or hundreds of thousands... if she had to work for it, that would take her how many years...?

"Brother Lin, Xia Qingqing, are you treating me as an outsider now by being so formal? It's just a few pieces of jewelry, what's the big deal? Is our relationship not worth a few pieces of jewelry?" Hang Lee voiced his discontt.

"Alright th, Qingqing, why don't you pick out a couple of pieces?" Lin Yun thought for a momt, turned his head towards Xia Qingqing, and said.

Regardless, he planned to do business with Hang Lee in the future. Th, he could sell Hang Lee a few more stones to make up for his losses. There was no need to worry about these trifling matters too much.

As Hang Lee had said, it was just a few pieces of jewelry. In fact, by accepting them, he could ease the mind of Hang Lee.

If he didn't accept, Hang Lee might worry whether they would continue to have business collaborations in the future.

'I can't. This jewelry is too expsive.' Xia Qingqing did not hesitate, she grabbed Lin Yun's sleeve and stubbornly shook her head.

She was a ssible girl. She understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch.

She didn't know the nature of the relationship betwe Lin Yun and Hang Lee, but she suspected it wasn't very deep.

Because they had known each other for two years, and she had never heard Lin Yun mtion such a frid.

If Lin Yun accepted the gift, he might have to pay an ev higher price later.

Hearing Lin Yun's words, Hang Lee was somewhat pleased. Indeed, as Lin Yun had thought, seeing Lin Yun giving it a consideration, letting Xia Qingqing accept the gift, he believed that Lin Yun really had recognized him as a person. He might ev be considering future collaborations.

Th he heard Xia Qingqing's words and couldn't help but pull a long face.

However, due to this, he began to see Xia Qingqing in a new light.

This girl was very obviously in love with the jewelry just now. Because these pieces of jewelry were expsive... she didn't want them?

As someone who had weathered the storms in the world of business for many years, he could clearly see that Xia Qingqing guinely didn't want to accept them, because she was considerate of Lin Yun.

No wonder Brother Lin was willing to buy a hotel for this girl. She was indeed unusual.

"Hang Lee secretly admitted.

However, the other party refused to accept his gift, which was a bit of a problem...

From behind the counter, female sales clerks saw what was happing and wished they were in Xia Qingqing's shoes.

Wh they had se their boss earlier let Xia Qingqing pick any jewelry she liked, they were very vious of her. At the same time, they wondered about the idtities of Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing. Such warm hospitality from their boss was unheard of. Now, they thought Xia Qingqing must be nuts.

These are jewelry pieces worth ts and hundreds of thousands of dollars...just grabbing one or two pieces, ev if sold second-hand, would be worth a lot more than what ordinary people could earn in a few years or ev decades...saying no was completely irrational...

"Xia Qingqing, don't be so bashful, it's just a few bits of jewelry. Brother Lin and I had such a pleasant experice during our last collaboration, it was like meeting an old frid. By refusing these, you might be undermining our fridship..." Hang Lee looked at Xia Qingqing and remarked with a bitter smile.

In fact, most of what he said reflected his own thoughts.

If Lin Yun were just another wealthy man's son, he wouldn't necessarily treat him in this manner.

His last business collaboration with Lin Yun was indeed a very pleasant one.

After he offered a high price, Lin Yun considered his interests and discounted more than eight million dollars for him, which is not something an ordinary person would have done.

As the saying goes, "Give respect to get respect."

Similarly, "A prince can make a belted knight, a marquis with a silver crown."

In life, you might meet many differt kinds of people, but it is hard to find someone with whom you can share your true feelings.

He felt that Lin Yun was a person he could confide in.

Because of this, he was willing to give Lin Yun some privileges.

A savings of one or two million, or ev t or twty million dollars, is nothing to him, but it's far more challging to find someone trustworthy.
