Zhao Lei's words stirred something in Sun Xing.
However, their family's company was only a small enterprise with assets just over ten million yuan, and fifty thousand yuan was still a considerable sum for him.
If he invested the money and received no return, wouldn't his parents beat him to death?
So, he still hesitated, saying, "Is this really going to work? What if it all goes wrong?"
Zhao Lei quickly replied, "How could it go wrong? Boss, just trust me, this is my chance to get rich."
"If you don't seize this opportunity, there won't be another!"
"Besides, if you make such a large sum of money, wouldn't your parents be so happy that they'd let you inherit the company?"
"Then your brother wouldn't have any part in it!"
Sun Xing was slightly taken aback. He wasn't an only child; he had an older brother, and the two of them were constantly vying for the inheritance in secret.
If he could secure the inheritance, truthfully, that would be a tremendous stroke of luck!
With this thought, Sun Xing's hesitation gradually disappeared.
He gritted his teeth, nodded, and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll take this gamble!"
"The boss is wise!" Zhao Lei's sole objective was to annoy Wu Tian.
Seeing that Sun Xing had agreed to his plan, he was naturally overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Wait a moment!"
Wu Tian hadn't had a chance to pay yet. Hearing Zhao Lei's words, he couldn't help but ask, "What is it? Is there something else?"
Zhao Lei said with a sinister smile, "I'm about to announce something! Our boss has taken a liking to this stone, and we want to buy it!"
"What?" Everyone was also surprised by Zhao Lei's statement.
Someone said, "Are you mistaken? This stone has already been bought. What do you mean by wanting to buy it now?"
Zhao Lei retorted, "Who says it's been bought? Hasn't the payment been made yet?"
"If the payment hasn't been made, then the transaction isn't complete, is it?"
Having said that, he looked at the boss again and said, "Boss, would you sell this stone to us? Consider it a gesture of friendship with our boss. What do you think?"
The boss hadn't expected someone to jump in and try to snatch the deal. He said, "This isn't right, is it? They're already preparing to pay. If I sell it to you, wouldn't that be bad business?"
Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Boss, don't worry, we understand the rules."
"We're not planning to buy this stone at the original price. How about this, we'll offer ten times the price. What do you say?"
"What?" Zhao Lei's words shocked everyone again.
The boss's eyes widened. "Ten times? Young man, ten times the price is fifty thousand yuan."
"Do you know what fifty thousand yuan means?"
Zhao Lei chuckled, "It's fine, our boss has plenty of money. A mere fifty thousand yuan is nothing to him."
"I just want your answer. What do you think of this offer?"
The boss's expression began to change slightly. As a businessman, he naturally felt that the more he could earn, the better.
And everyone knew Zhao Lei's intentions. While they might disdain him, if Zhao Lei could truly produce fifty thousand yuan, then they would have nothing to say.
Seeing the boss's silence, Zhao Lei knew that this matter was likely to succeed.
He then pressed further, "Boss, answer my question. Fifty thousand yuan, are you selling or not?"
The boss thought to himself, I'm here to make money. Who I sell it to doesn't matter.
So he nodded and said, "I'll sell! As long as you have the money, you can take the stone!"
Wu Tian frowned and said, "Boss, this isn't right, is it?"
"I picked out this stone, and I've already agreed on a price with you. You're saying you won't sell it? Is this how you do business?"
Actually, the boss felt a bit uneasy, but making money was not shameful.
So he braced himself and said, "That's not how it works. You haven't paid for this stone yet, right? If you haven't paid, then this stone is still mine?"
"Since it's my stone, I can sell it to whomever I want. Isn't that only natural?"
"I've heard of forced buying and selling, but I've never heard of forced selling and buying!"
"You're going too far!" Wu Tian said angrily, "If you do business like this, your stall will eventually fail!"
The boss was displeased upon hearing this.
He said, "What you're saying is too much. You can sue me and see who has the right argument, me or you!"
Wu Tian fell silent, but everyone could see that he was very angry.
Zhao Lei, seeing this, was delighted. He walked up and sighed, "Alas, it can't be helped. This is how the world works; whoever has money is the boss!"
"If you're not convinced, you can do this too. You have a jade bead on you anyway, so take it to exchange for some money, and then bid against us!"
The boss immediately saw a business opportunity and said, "Yes, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you really want it, then increase the price."
"If you offer a million yuan, I'll sell it to you. What do you think?"
Everyone thought the boss had gone mad for money.
This stone might not even yield anything, yet he dared to ask for a million yuan. What else could this be but greed?
Wu Tian was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I admit defeat today. Since that's the case, I don't want this stone anymore!"
"Before I leave, let's be clear. I can pay the fifty thousand yuan now."
"But his fifty thousand yuan might not be available immediately. If he defaults later, don't regret it!"
The boss heard this and realized it was true. Fifty thousand yuan was not a small sum, and it was better to be cautious.
So he turned to Zhao Lei and said, "That's a good reminder. This fifty thousand yuan must be paid in cash, otherwise, I won't sell it!"
Zhao Lei sneered at Wu Tian, "Don't insist anymore. Do you think your words will change anything?"
"Let me tell you, our boss might not have anything else, but he has plenty of money!"
"Isn't it just cash payment? Boss, let him see what real money looks like now!"
Sun Xing's eyes were also blinded by the super imperial green jade.
He nodded, took out a bank card from his pocket, and handed it over, saying, "There's exactly fifty thousand yuan in this card. The password is six sixes. You can check if you don't believe me."
The boss took the bank card and immediately went to the bank within the market to check it without a word.
He returned with a face full of excitement and said, "There is indeed fifty thousand yuan in this card. Alright, I'll sell this stone to you!"
