Jay looked at the remaining 20 high-quality jade stones, chose two of the most inferior quality suet white jade, and weighed them in his hand. Then, he yelled out, "A high-quality 2.2 pounds suet white jade will cost at least 50,000 bucks per 0.022 pounds in the market. This would cost 500 million, but I'll let it go for 200 million today. Also, Imperial Capital Grand Asia's jewelry designer will design it for you until you're satisfied with the finished product."
Jay glanced at the unenthusiastic customers and said again, "I heard that Mount Pearl will start closing off the route down the mountain tomorrow and will not open it until the end of February. This means that these will be the last two pieces of jade you can buy before that happens. I'm sure you have friends or family members who are getting married during New Year’s. What better gift than a gemstone?"
The customers remained unmoved.
The scrawny old man said with a smile, "Mister, I'm afraid only the young masters and ladies of Yorks Stronghold can afford such an expensive jade. The customers here are all ordinary citizens. How are they supposed to fork out so much money?"
Jay explained, "Those who aren’t experienced in
business will only look at the deprivation of the outside world. Those who are experienced in business believe that there are more solutions than problems in this world."
The scrawny old man sneered, "Everyone knows how t o boast.”
Jay let out an arrogant laugh. All of a sudden, he changed his sales strategy and said, "You don’t have t o purchase this high-quality suet white jade in one piece. If you like it, you can decide on the weight that you want based on your own purchasing power. The minimum weight is 0.022 pounds... Of course, the benefits that I promised will still be applicable."
Baby Robbie picked up the loudspeaker and said," Anyone who wants to purchase it can come to me and make your reservations. There's only a limited quantity. We won't be selling more once these are sold out."
As soon as he said those words, the customers who had gathered around to watch started rushing up to Baby Robbie...
"I'd like to buy one, please..."
For those who lacked purchasing power yet valued quality, the ability to purchase high-quality suet white jade in retail was simply a temptation too hard to resist.
When the business transactions ended, Jay gave all the money he earned today to the boss and said with a smile, "300 million in total. They're all yours. I'll take the remaining 18 jade pieces."
