Chapter 960: Separate Actions
Back at the hotel, Qu Xingye was quite nervous. After all, he had already seen this piece of jade worth at least 200 million.
Shi Lei understood what he was nervous about and said, "Mr. Qu, are you worried that something might happen to this piece of jade in my hands?"
Qu Xingye waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly explained: "Master Shi, please don't misunderstand me. I am indeed worried, but it is not what you think. I am not worried about you, but worried about the jade itself. What will happen here?" People who grow local gambling stones are definitely not the kind of well-known brands that can be compared. They are inferior to those companies in terms of scale and financial capabilities, but these people have some..."
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Mr. Qu just told me directly that these people may be cheating on others."
Qu Xingye sighed and said: "With 200 million soft girl coins, we have to be careful. After all, this piece of jade weighs 20 to 30 kilograms, and it is not so easy to bring it back home. At the trade fair, all we saw were those They are just businessmen. In fact, they are different from us. They would never dare to come to a place like this without bringing three or five bodyguards. Therefore, the best choice is to make a deal on the spot. Once the money enters the account, these people will stop. After thinking about it, they are not so bold to do things like kidnapping and extortion, but Jade is..."
Shi Lei is also an expert and daring person. He relies on ancient martial arts cards and marksman cards, and he is not afraid at all.
"As the organizer, shouldn't Gonda ensure your and my safety?"
Qu Xingye sighed again and said: "Theoretically, he has to make such a guarantee, but the terrain here is complex, and it is still three hours' drive from the border, especially the airport in Banna. It is less than the airport in Banna. We can’t even say it’s safe.”
Shi Lei saw that Qu Xingye was hesitant to speak, and said: "Actually, you are more worried about Gonda, because he may also attack us, right?"
Qu Xingye sighed and said nothing. It was enough for Shi Lei to understand what he meant. Some words did not need to be said so clearly.
"If Gonda takes action, won't he destroy his reputation? Who will dare to come to him to gamble on stones in the future? And to be honest, the prices here for gambling on stones on the black market are not low. Once the reputation is gone, it is not the only option. Sell the rough stone to the official? The price is outrageously low."
"But this is 200 million. This amount of money is enough for Gonda to make several years of income. Moreover, he has so many people to support. It seems that the price of rough stones is not low, but in fact, he does not get much himself. . If he really has these 200 million, he can go to Thailand and become a rich man, so why spend half his life in the mountains and forests?"
Shi Lei nodded, this makes sense.
He roughly estimated the price of rough stones that could be sold at the entire fair. The total price must not exceed 200 million. Moreover, with the entire organization, manpower deployment, various security measures, and profit distribution, it is impossible to have all the rough stones sold. All profits belong to Gonda alone.
Adding these together, I'm afraid it would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Such trade fairs are held at most twice a year, which means that after this trade fair ends, he will have to support his subordinates for half a year. This expense should not be underestimated, so although it seemed like all the money was in vain, in fact, Gonda himself did not earn much.
And if he has 200 million, Gonda can quickly sell the jade mine, and the net profit will never be less than 100 million or 200 million. With these three to four billion, Gonda can really spend the rest of his life in any country in Southeast Asia.
After thinking for a while, Shi Lei said: "After dinner, we will take advantage of the darkness and leave on our own without notifying anyone. Including Gonda."
Qu Xingye thought for a while and could only do this. He nodded and agreed.
"If something happens on the way, just go back to your country. Well, Mr. Qu, can you believe me?"
Qu Xingye looked slightly depressed. After all, he could have left calmly with the cash, but now, the situation was obviously complicated.
But he really had no doubts about Shi Lei, so he said: "How can I have any doubts about Mr. Shi, it's just..."
Shi Lei nodded with a smile and said: "As long as Mr. Qu is willing to believe me, I promise that no matter what, after returning to China, whether this piece of jade is still in my hands or not, I will pay Mr. Qu at least 100 million soft sister coins. If Mr. Qu If you are worried, I can write an IOU to Mr. Qu now.”
Qu Xingye quickly waved his hand and said: "I can buy this rough stone because Master Shi has taken care of me. I can also see that Master Shi can't bear to see me fail. Otherwise, Master Shi would have long seen that this rough stone can be used for gambling." There is no reason to buy it together with me. How dare I ask Mr. Shi to write an IOU?"
Shi Lei smiled and said: "That can't be said. After all, you were also interested in that rough stone at that time. This is the result of the two of us having the same goal. I just wanted to stop the loss."
"Master Shi, please stop comforting me. In short, as long as we can return home safely, I can also redeem the factory. From now on, Master Shi's affairs will be my business, Qu Xingye. If you have any instructions, I will frown. Just let me strike with thunder..."
Shi Lei smiled faintly. He didn't quite believe in this kind of promise, but since Qu Xingye said it, Shi Lei believed that he would not be able to go back on it. Swearing and swearing is simply a psychological comfort. However, Shi Lei, who has a black card in his hand, does not have this concept. This is equivalent to Qu Xingye signing a contract with Shi Lei. Once he redeems the factory, it means that the contract between Shi Lei and him is completed, and the lottery chance is second. More importantly, Shi Lei will get a subordinate with a intimacy level of 100. Even if the industries are different and the preparations are not complete, Qu Xingye can still help Shi Lei.
"Needless to say these words, you try to return home as safely as possible, and I will also bring Jade back safely. You said that those people should not use kidnapping methods, then, as long as you and I are separated, and Jade is with me In your hands, you should be safe, right?"
Qu Xingye thought for a moment and nodded: "Those guests should not do such a thing, but Gonda... However, in Gonda's eyes, Mr. Shi and I are just partners because of this jade. As long as the jade is If it's not in my hands, Gonda must understand that kidnapping me is meaningless, as it is tantamount to helping Mr. Shi monopolize this jade. But, Mr. Shi, it is too dangerous for you to carry the jade alone. "
"Don't worry, the worst result is to hand over the jade. Even Gonda will not kill himself in order to gain wealth. Gonda can't bear the price of killing me. As for you, As long as I return to China, I will definitely pay you at least 100 million soft girl coins..."
"Master Shi, please don't say such things. Of course I hope you can return home safely with the emerald, but if Master Shi returns alone and the emerald is taken away, how can I have the face to ask for 100 million from Master Shi?"
"If you trust me with this piece of jade, it's worth 100 million."
Qu Xingye looked at Shi Lei and was speechless. His lips were open for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Shi Lei patted Qu Xingye on the shoulder and said: "Then it's decided. Don't have any dinner. Let Gonda arrange the manpower to take you to the airport in Banna. Let's leave now. You won't leave empty-handed." Someone will make things difficult for you. It could be tomorrow or three or five days, and I will definitely meet you in Wudong."
