Chapter 787: 782 Jewelry Black Market

He was afraid that Gu Chen might have bought junk and then got stuck with it in his own hands.

But at this moment, Gu Chen did not take out the item.

"Just trust me for now, we’ll take a look when the time comes."

Right then, Gu Chen unexpectedly played coy with his secret.

However, after hearing his words, Old Yuan still felt it was unreliable.

"Brother, let me tell you, the jade business is incredibly deep. So many bosses have been disgraced and ruined, losing everything because of this stuff.

Listen to me, from now on you better not touch these kinds of things, especially those gambling stones, you mustn’t get involved at all."

That’s what he said to Gu Chen at the time.

When he spoke about it, he was extremely cautious and earnest.

Having been in this industry for a long time, he had seen all sorts of people.

He had seen many high fliers reduced to a state that was neither human nor dog-like, all because of jade.

So he really didn’t want to see Gu Chen end up in the same way.

That’s why he had such a serious talk with Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, after hearing this, nodded in recognition.

"Don’t worry, I understand all that you’ve said. But my jade is really top-notch. I guess if it were put up for auction, it would easily fetch a million without a problem."

At that time, despite everything, he still spoke with confidence in his jade.

The first point is that his jade could absolutely not possibly be a fake.

That’s because all of his jade came from the system, and there’s no way the system would play such a trick on him.

Furthermore, since the jade came from the system, it surely had to be of very high value.

However, upon hearing what Gu Chen said, Old Yuan sitting across from him immediately felt his head start to spin.

"Brother, I’ve been in this business for so many years, almost every boss I know talks like you do, but I’ve seen firsthand what ends up happening to them."

After hearing all Gu Chen had to say, he felt that Gu Chen was completely a novice.

Under such circumstances, he felt as if he could already foresee the eventual outcome of this matter.

"Brother, stop while you can from now on. You mustn’t get involved anymore. Treat this time as just playing around, let’s take it as paying for a lesson and getting some discipline from the industry."

He said directly to Gu Chen at that moment.

Not daring to let Gu Chen continue investing.

He was truly scared.

"Old brother, you really don’t have much faith in me, do you?

I can say I have some understanding in this field; how could I possibly fall into such a trap?"

At that moment, Gu Chen felt very helpless. He certainly understood Old Yuan’s good intentions, but he couldn’t grasp why Old Yuan had such little confidence in him.

In all this time, when had he ever done anything unreliable?

Since he had said it was high-quality jade, then it must be high-quality jade.

"It’s not that I doubt you, brother, but this industry is too deep for you, you just don’t understand.

Let me tell you this, if your two pieces of jade are really of high quality, then I’ll eat all the steaks in this restaurant.

Forget the steaks, I would even eat all the kitchen utensils in this place."

As he said this to Gu Chen, his words had absolute certainty, he was utterly confident.

Gu Chen gave a wry smile at this moment, not expecting Old Yuan to be so resolute.

And since Old Yuan was so adamant, it seemed inappropriate for him to bring that thing out now.

After all, he couldn’t possibly reveal it and then just watch Old Yuan metaphorically slap himself in the face.

So at this moment, he could only act as if nothing had happened.

He was at a loss, for what else could he do now that things had come this far?

"Young bro, oh young bro, you have a long way to go. If you’re really interested in this field in the future, just let me know, and I’ll take you to have a look," Old Yuan said to Gu Chen at that time.

Old Yuan spoke those words with great earnestness, much like an experienced mentor.

Gu Chen just smiled casually upon hearing this, not taking Old Yuan’s words too seriously.

Because Gu Chen understood all the principles that Old Yuan was talking about.

Moreover, what he was doing was not at all as Old Yuan had imagined.

However, he didn’t delve further into the issue, since things had already reached this point.

It was at this moment that something suddenly occurred to Old Yuan.

"If I remember correctly, there should be a jewelry black market in Su City in about three days.

If you’re interested, young bro, I can take you there to have a look," Old Yuan suddenly proposed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen’s interest was immediately piqued.

"Alright, then. Let’s take the opportunity to check it out in three days. I can also get my jade appraised and see if there are any top-quality items. We could buy them all and prepare for our jewelry company," Gu Chen said to Old Yuan then.

Old Yuan couldn’t help but feel amused upon hearing that Gu Chen was still not giving up on his two pieces of jade.

But after thinking about it, he found it quite normal, since almost every boss who wanted to get into jade was stubborn about their own pieces.

It’s like those who gamble on stones; when they first slice the stone open and glimpse a hint of green.

If they cut their losses at that point and sell the stone, they might recoup some of their investment.

However, most bosses are not satisfied until they cut the stone completely open, refusing to give up hope until they hit rock bottom.

More often than not, once the stone is fully cut open, they are only left with worthless scrap.

After spending a long time in this industry, the mentality of the old-timers differs from that of ordinary people.

But now, he completely understood Gu Chen’s behavior, finding it to be perfectly normal. He figured Gu Chen would learn his lesson after a setback.

In his view, it was futile to say anything, since Gu Chen lacked firsthand experience.

But after experiencing it himself, he would understand how things worked in this industry.

At that moment, as he looked at Gu Chen, his eyes expressed a bit of helplessness, as if unsure how to dissuade him.

In the end, however, he didn’t say anything to Gu Chen, deciding to just wait for three days.

After arriving there, Gu Chen would understand.

So, the two continued their conversation, shifting to matters concerning the jewelry company.

Gu Chen truly did not understand the jewelry industry as well as Old Yuan.

Managing the jewelry company, Gu Chen had entrusted all authority to Old Yuan to handle; he did not plan to intervene in it at all.

There’s a world of difference between professions, and if he were to meddle carelessly, the company might end up being unable to operate smoothly.

Old Yuan being a professional, Gu Chen felt very reassured leaving it in his hands.
