Chapter 222 - 222 222 Why Is Everything Green

222: Chapter 222: Why Is Everything Green 222: Chapter 222: Why Is Everything Green With Liu Jiayin’s matters temporarily settled, it was time to focus on his own affairs.

Despite being busy recently, Zhao Guang hadn’t neglected his plans.

As time had passed, the Faith Extraction Technique had been improved by over 30%.

With continued effort, it should be completed within a few days.

But just as Zhao Guang was sprinting towards this goal, Guo Siyu suddenly sought him out.

“What’s happened for Miss Guo to come herself?”

Zhao Guang was surprised, as Guo Siyu rarely took the initiative to visit him; she usually only came with her older sister if there was a deal to be made.

But this time, Guo Siyu had come alone.

Of course, she hadn’t come completely alone; she wasn’t without company.

Given her current worth, venturing out alone would indeed be worrying.

“Isn’t it about the gemstones you asked me to appraise?

Here, new ones have just come in.”

“Gemstones?

Oh, right, right, did you find anything?” Zhao Guang remembered how last time the Beastmen had brought him a pile of stones to appraise.

It seemed the results were in.

“Here are the results, out of all these stones, only these two types are valuable gems, the rest aren’t worth much.”

“These two types?

They look the same to me; how are these any different from the emeralds last time?” Zhao Guang asked, puzzled.

They were all green.

Did foreigners really like green that much?

No wonder their heads were all green as well; they don’t seem to mind, like it’s natural to them.

“Can’t you tell the difference?

How can this be the same as that?”

Guo Siyu was somewhat speechless.

Despite his status and vast network, he couldn’t differentiate these gem types?

Guo Siyu picked up one and said, “This one is peridot, a very famous gemstone.”

Then she picked up another green stone and said, “This is malachite, and their differences are…”

Zhao Guang listened to her slew of technical jargon and felt his head spin; he had absolutely no interest in these things.

Uninteresting topics only made him feel sleepy.

“Stop, stop, I’m not interested in knowing the differences.

Just give me the data and I’ll let the channels know.”

Data?

Guo Siyu was puzzled, but since he asked, she would provide it.

Guo Siyu wasn’t aware that Zhao Guang’s channels were in the Otherworld with the Beastmen who also didn’t know these distinctions.

Without the data, they would surely treat them as the same.

In the Otherworld, the biggest difference was whether or not they could hold magic power, not these superficial traits.

“But honestly, I’ve never heard of this stuff.”

“The domestic markets for peridot and malachite are rather small; these are more popular overseas.

Foreigners like these sorts of things.

Over here, we’re more into gold and jade.”

That was true, most ordinary people wouldn’t recognize other gemstones unless they were professionals.

“So, these foreigners really like green that much?

Are wine bottles almost the same then?”

Guo Siyu didn’t want to converse with him anymore.

How could wine bottles compare to this?

“Anyway, just prepare the gemstones.

Oh, and there’s another thing.

Japan contacted us wanting to make an acquisition.”

“Those damn bastards, do they even have the capability for that, always thinking only good things for themselves.”

“I felt the same, so I rejected them immediately.

They said if we want to enter their market, we either accept their acquisition or partner with them.”

Zhao Guang pondered, “It seems cooperation is their real goal.

The Japanese are learning some bad tricks.”

To achieve their goal, they start by asking for the moon—the famous words of Mr.

Lu Xun.

“So, what do you plan to do?”

“We should set prices as usual; after all, it’s just gemstones, can’t eat or drink them, it could siphon off their domestic capital.” Zhao Guang had learned a few things recently.

Trading gemstones for their domestic capital would definitely create an obstacle for them.

It might not be evident in the short term, but it could make a difference over time, especially once the capital volume reached a certain level.

Then, there would be some real fun to watch.

Others didn’t have so many gemstones, but he was different; he had plenty.

“What about gold then?

They also want to acquire some gold.”

“They’re dreaming, tell them we only cooperate with gemstones, no gold at all.”

Zhao Guang had always been whimsical in his dealings, although Guo Siyu already knew how he operated.

This visit was merely to let him know and to deliver samples of peridot and malachite.

It’s a wonder where Zhao Guang’s channels are that the locals don’t recognize these stones.

“I got it, I’ll go reply to them.

Lastly, there’s another issue.

If we don’t merge Haimanjin into Da Manjin, we’ll have excess capital.

Transferring it all domestically might be troublesome.”

“What’s so troublesome about moving capital in?” asked Zhao Guang, surprised.

“It’s that several other countries don’t allow large sums of capital to be moved, so we can only withdraw a small part.

The remaining funds, according to their laws, must be invested within their country.”

“Are we being targeted?”

“Although all countries have these rules, considering the wide scope, it seems we are being targeted.”

In recent times, selling large amounts of gold and gemstones had possibly exposed them to such targeting.

Being targeted by many countries simultaneously might indicate other unknown factors.

“So, what are your thoughts?” Zhao Guang decided to directly ask the person handling the matter.

Guo Siyu responded directly, “My thought is, since we can’t withdraw the funds, we might as well invest them overseas.

I plan to set up an investment firm, but since most of this money is yours, regarding the shares…”

Indeed, although the company was theirs, the gold and gemstones sold were Zhao Guang’s.

And as future transactions could continue, the funds involved would only grow.

After a moment of thought, Zhao Guang simply said, “What are your ideas then?”

“The Guo family can only assist, sort of like a housekeeper, and we’ll also need other talents and forces from overseas.

Our idea is that we own 5%, you take 80%, and the rest is used to attract talents.

When it comes to going public, we can discuss how to distribute the other shares.”

Worried Zhao Guang might disagree, Guo Siyu added, “Overseas is different from domestic; it’s nearly impossible for a sole proprietorship to thrive.”

Zhao Guang nodded; he wasn’t ignorant, of course he knew about these matters.
