Chapter 792: 787 Jade King has arrived

If he didn’t understand this simple logic, then he really would have lived in vain.

He knew everything, and understood it all very well in his heart.

About four hours had passed.

In these few hours, Gu Chen didn’t do much other than silently wait here.

Finally, the long hours passed by.

And soon, he finally arrived here.

The place wasn’t big, just a small county town.

But there were indeed too many cars, and from their license plates, it was clear that they had all come from all over the world.

This indicated just how famous the black market of Su City was.

"Let’s find somewhere to stay for now. Even the price of a hotel room has gone up to nearly a few hundred yuan a night," he said to Gu Chen.

At this point, he spoke to Gu Chen in this manner.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen glanced at him, not expecting that this thing would be so in demand.

At last, the three of them found a place that was decent enough.

After all, this was just an ordinary small county town; it was clearly unrealistic to expect more.

So they couldn’t set their expectations too high.

After finding a place to settle down,

Gu Chen’s mind was still dwelling on today’s events.

"The black market officially starts tonight at nine, and lasts until nine in the morning the day after tomorrow.

During this time, stick close to us, we can’t get separated. The most important thing is not to get cheated by someone."

At this moment, Old Yuan spoke to Gu Chen earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen instantly perked up with interest.

"I’m such a big person, could I actually be kidnapped?" he asked with a laugh.

"It’s not likely that you’ll be kidnapped, but what’s more probable is your wallet might be ’kidnapped.’

Every year around this time, the black market has quite a few pickpockets.

And most importantly, don’t think they are just idle people from the streets; they are all well-known pickpockets."

Old Yuan said this to Gu Chen at that time.

After hearing this, Gu Chen understood what Old Yuan meant.

But Gu Chen didn’t take it too lightly, nor did he treat it as a priority.

He didn’t have much cash on him, so pickpockets would only be coming and going empty-handed.

Just like that, they didn’t continue the subject, as they still had to head to the black market at nine tonight.

So they all wanted to take advantage of this time to rest well and then take action at nine in the evening.

Lying on the hotel bed,

Gu Chen actually didn’t get much peaceful sleep because there was always a bustling noise coming from outside.

People were always coming to this place, all from other places.

And they all shared one characteristic: they were all here for the black market.

So Gu Chen’s ears were almost calloused with the constant chatter about jade and gold.

By the time nine o’clock in the evening arrived and Gu Chen woke up, he felt a bit mentally exhausted.

He almost couldn’t get up at all.

By half past eight in the evening, the three of them went to the restaurant downstairs in the hotel and had a casual meal.

And it was during this meal that Old Yuan suddenly said to Gu Chen, "I’ll tell you some news, I heard that the Jade King might be coming today."

When he heard the name Jade King, Gu Chen just felt very unfamiliar with it, not knowing what it was.

Ghost Eye, on the other hand, immediately tensed up upon hearing it.

"What’s he coming here for? What business does he have here?"

He seemed to ask with a bit of befuddlement.

"I heard that tonight there’s a big shipment going out here.

It’s said to be a very fine top-grade glassy jadeite that has come from far away.

I’ve heard the estimated price has almost reached a whopping ten million."

At the mention of this price, Gu Chen was surprised, having not expected a shipment worth tens of millions.

Next to him, Ghost Eye remained silent, seemingly uninterested in these matters.

He was lost in thought, looking somewhat dejected.

"He already has so much merchandise, does he really care about this one item?"

At that moment, his tone sounded somewhat disdainful.

Gu Chen didn’t understand why he had such animosity towards the Jade King, but it was clear that the Jade King had a very high reputation and status in the industry, or else they wouldn’t all know of him upon mention.

"It’s hard to say on that aspect, maybe he just came over to take a closer look at the merchandise recently."

At that point, Old Yuan shook his head too, offering no answer to the question.

Gu Chen remained silent on the side, not seeming too concerned about the matter.

"What good does buying jadeite worth ten million do for our jewelry company?" Gu Chen asked with a slight curiosity at that moment.

"Good? Not necessarily.

At most it accumulates some reputation, and it also serves to prove the strength of the jewelry company.

You can think of it this way, having merchandise worth a full ten million in the company assures others that your company won’t have any disputes over money, as there’s such a valuable item sitting there, and the people can’t just run away."

After explaining this to Gu Chen, the old man seemed to have made everything clear to him; it sounded akin to some sort of deposit.

Of course, there are definitely differences from a real deposit, but Gu Chen felt they were not that significant.

"But these things certainly don’t concern us; we should just honestly wait here and enjoy the spectacle when it happens," the old man said at that time, treating the matter lightly, as though it was not really serious.

Everyone was there to watch the excitement; how many could really afford to spend ten million on jadeite?

At least that’s what he thought, feeling there was nothing more to it.

After hearing all this, Gu Chen became very cautious, as if deliberating carefully.

Jadeite worth tens of millions was something Gu Chen had never really understood before.

Now, upon hearing it, he found it quite novel and wondered how much the two items in his possession could be worth.

After finishing the meal, it was almost time for the black market to start.

They left immediately.

When they went outside, they found it was completely different from the daytime.

During the day, it looked like an ordinary small county town, just with a few more cars and people.

But now, it was entirely different.
