Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 148

"Oh, is the supply channel usually a kind of trade secret? Or is it an open secret in the industry? " Jacob seemed to be interested in this question.

Alice thought it was just Jacob's hobby and didn't take it seriously. "Well, usually stores just publicize the news of their purchasing, but they would never tell where did they purchase these goods. It's a well-recognized business secret."

Jacob frowned and looked serious. "I see. Uncle once said that he wanted to open a jewelry store to live a peaceful life in old age. After all, uncle is very interested in jewelry. It seems that he couldn't manage to do that. "

Alice was suddenly enlightened. It turned out that James wanted to open a shop. This was an excellent opportunity to please James and Jacob. Alice felt complacent, but she pretended to be serious. "That's indeed a problem. Usually people won't disclose their supplying channels."

James sighed and put down his chopsticks. His eyes seemed to be a little disappointed. "I've told you that it won't work, Jacob. I'm just a layman. How can I open a jewelry store? "

Jacob sighed, "I've thought it too simply. It seems that you'd better stay in the company."

Seeing that the two were a little disappointed, Alice was a little anxious. "In fact, there is also a way. Where there is a will, there is a way."

A delighted expression flashed through the eyes of James. For a person who was more than fifty years old, finding his own career, and the career he really liked and was not easy.

"In fact, it's very simple. Money makes the mare go. Some items in jewelry industry were not allowed to be sold openly, so there was an underground black market. Maybe you can go to there and ask. It was always rewarding. The people inside are omnipotent, they have relationships in both black and white world. " Alice said confidently. She had never been to the black market, but she had heard it from Thompson by chance.

After all, when peers were together, even a word said carelessly might become a business opportunity. At that time, Alice just kept it in mind secretly. She didn't expect that the news would be used so soon.

"Oh, where is the black market?" Jacob asked hopefully. He always felt something was wrong with Alice today, but he didn't know what's wrong with her.

"The time and place of opening the black market are not fixed. Only the insiders could get the information and do business there. Black market couldn't be seen, you have to find it yourself. I'm sorry but I'm not one of the insiders. " Alice said slowly. Even if she had the information, she wouldn't reveal everything today. After all, she needed to leave room for further movements.

"I see. Thank you for letting me know all these, Alice. " James held up the wine glass in the air. It was enough for him to know this information today.

Alice also stood up with a glass of wine. In her eyes, James's behavior was meant to show appreciation. But Alice had to be modest, "Uncle, I'm flattered. I didn't really tell anything useful."

Jacob also said calmly, as if he was talking to himself, "That's already enough. Thank you, Alice. Uncle can finally realize his dream of jewelry."

With a smile on his face, James said, "Jacob was right, I'm really lucky today to talk with you."

Alice was a little complacent, with a contented smile on her face. She just said a few words and didn't reveal any business secrets, but was greatly rewarded. It was obvious that they were really laymen.

"Why are you becoming so polite, Jacob. Uncle, if you have any further questions about jewelry, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know. " Alice picked up the glass and drank it up. Putting the glass on the table, she felt delighted in her heart.

James burst into laughter, "Interesting. I like you, Alice. Come on, have some food." James picked up a piece of sea cucumber for her.
