The scrawny old man patted his chest and said, "The rough stones we have here are the best in the world. I say that to you while putting my reputation on the line."
Jay looked contemptuously at him. "Well, why don't you show us how much your reputation is worth, then?"
Jay pointed at the pile of rough stones and said domineeringly, "Open them all. I only want the best rough stone."
The scrawny old man was dumbfounded.
"All of them? Do you know how much the rough stones here are worth?"
Jay looked at the scrawny old man with contempt. " How much are they? I’ll buy them all."
Baby Robbie looked at Daddy in astonishment. "We'll lose money if we do this."
Jay patted Baby Robbie on the head. "When has Daddy ever sustained any losses in business?"
Baby Robbie was extremely puzzled. How could Daddy not lose money after buying all those rough stones?
The scrawny old man hesitated. He eyed Jay suspiciously. "Do you have the money to buy them?" "Nope," Jay replied.
The boss was speechless. "Why are you so arrogant when you don't even have money?"
Jay said, "Boss, you're a businessman yourself.
Haven't you heard of the saying, a small investment brings a 10,000-fold profit?"
The boss sneered, "So you're trying to gain valuable things with nothing?"
Jay assured him, saying, "You won't suffer any losses."
The boss studied Jay carefully. When he observed his extraordinarily high-born and elegant aura, as well as his strong and powerful speech, he felt an inexplicable urge to trust him.
