Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  Just as Zhang Yang had expected, Duan Fei didn't sleep well that night. As soon as he closed his eyes, all he could see was the jade rough stone and piles of cash. He tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. The next day when he got up, his eyes were red, his head felt heavy, but he gave off an exceptionally excited feeling. The employees at Fei Cui Xuan carefully avoided Duan Fei.

  Duan Fei's temper was originally not good, and with his foul language, the staff in the jewelry sales department were very uncomfortable. If he wasn't a high-ranking executive sent from above, he would have been driven away by employees long ago. Since they couldn't afford to offend him, they just avoided him instead. As a result, no one taught him about the jade gambling industry, and now Duan Fei's understanding of the jade gambling industry was not even as good as Zhang Yang, the new employee.

  This also doomed Duan Fei to be slightly pulled by Zhang Yang into a trap.

  This store is nominally a joint venture, but in reality, Xiao Fei's main investment goal is jade rough stones, and Duan Fei's work is also focused on gambling on stones. After all, compared to selling jade, gambling on stones can bring greater profits. Xiao Fei's nature is that of a speculative businessman, and the jade market has become increasingly hot in recent years, gradually becoming a target for many speculators. Seeing the price of jade rising continuously while raw materials are becoming scarce, Xiao Fei plans to make a big move. He wants to buy large quantities of gambling stones, then speculate on them until the market price rises, and finally sell these stones at a profit.

  But to achieve this, a stable customer base is needed. After all, it's not real estate, and even if the situation is bad, there are still ordinary people who will come to buy. If you can't find someone to take over, the funds will be tied up, which is a big trouble. If you rely solely on this one store for sales, how much can you sell?

  Duan Fei's job was originally very simple, which was to gradually promote the reputation of Feicui Xuan, let more people know about this place, come here to gamble on jade, just like Lido Jade Company did, and become the first choice for jewelers and jade gamblers.

  He was used to being the big brother, giving orders and fighting, so when he suddenly had to manage and operate these things, he couldn't adapt. Because of his temper, he also offended employees, and there wasn't even anyone to remind him. If he had been given some time to slowly adapt to this change, perhaps Duan Fei would have really adapted, gradually making a name for himself and completing Xiao Fei's task. Unfortunately, he encountered Zhang Yang here and lost this opportunity.

  Duan Fei paced back and forth in the store, anxiously waiting for Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang had already arrived, seeing Duan Fei walking back and forth in the store. He didn't get out of the car, just watching Duan Fei until he saw his patience wear off, then got out of the car and walked into the store.

  "Director Duan, sorry about this, something unexpected came up and I'm late," said Zhang Yang.

  Duan Fei saw Zhang Yang coming and let out a sigh of relief, saying: "It's okay, it's okay, little brother, we'll talk about this later."

  Zhang Yang nodded and followed Duan Fei to the warehouse behind the store.

  The hall manager noticed something unusual about Duan Fei, and when he saw Zhang Yang come in, his eyes flickered for a moment. He remembered this man, the one who had rushed over to sell gold that day, which Duan Fei had taken charge of purchasing at a not-low price. Could it be that these two knew each other?

  The hall manager was not Xiao Fei's person. He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously returned to the manager's office and called his boss to report.

  "Boss, that's what happened. They've gone together to the warehouse in the back, probably to look at the jade rough stones." The hall manager said.

  "Little Ma, you're doing a great job. Keep an eye on Duan Fei and let Master Zhou go through with it. Don't let him play any tricks. These rough stones were hard to transport to the capital, and I need to sell them to make money. I don't want anything to happen. I've inquired about Duan Fei, he made a mistake in Tianjin and was transferred here. However, he is indeed Xiao Fei's right-hand man, so without solid evidence, we shouldn't move against him. This is our first time cooperating with inland merchants, let's be cautious and not make any mistakes."

  "I know, I'll call Master Zhou over right away," said Manager Ma.

  "Uh-huh, that's it, if there's anything else just let me know." The boss hung up the phone.

  Manager Ma revealed a hint of a triumphant smile. The store manager of Feicui Pavilion, who was invited back from outside at a high price, was only responsible for the affairs within the store. Originally, he thought he would be the second-in-command, but after the store's preparations were complete, Duan Fei suddenly descended upon them. It was impossible not to feel angry. As long as Duan Fei was removed, he could become the second-in-command of the store, and the control of the gambling stone would fall into his hands.

  The space inside can be operated more freely, and there are more benefits to be gained.

  As for whether this would offend another boss, it was completely not something he needed to consider. What he wanted to do was get rid of Duan Fei, the obstacle in his way.

  "Little brother, the goods here at Duan Ge's place are not bad, right? These are all from the old pits of Myanmar. Ordinary places don't have such good materials." Duan Fei said, actually Duan Fei didn't know what "old pit material" meant either, nor did he know where these rough stones were good for, and could only introduce them randomly.

  Zhang Yang looked even more like a rookie, patting this and looking at that, then smiling at Duan Fei: "Brother Duan, I don't understand these things. I just got lucky yesterday when I gambled on that one. I randomly picked it, and unexpectedly there was jade inside."

  Duan Fei heard Zhang Yang say that and felt suffocated, bumping into good fortune, such a great thing, why didn't it happen to himself?

  "Alright, take your time and pick one out, I'll give you a good deal," said Duan Fei.

  Duan Fei is now most looking forward to Zhang Yang's gamble with the stones. These rough stones have been transported here, but none of them have been opened yet. What exactly is inside? Duan Fei was extremely curious.

  Zhang Yang smiled and looked towards the emerald rough stone.

  Just as Zhang Yang was slowly selecting the jade rough stone, Manager Ma brought in an old man with white hair and walked in. Duan Fei frowned slightly and went forward to greet the old man: "Master Zhou, why have you come?"

  This is Master Zhou, whose name is Zhou Yiran. He is the gambling stone master of Feicui Xuan and also the person Xiao Fei requires him to respect. The pricing of the original jade stones is entirely under his control, and these original stones are also brought back by him from Myanmar.

  "Xiao Duan, I heard Manager Ma say that a customer has arrived, so I came to take a look," said Master Zhou.

  Duan Fei glared at Manager Ma with a fierce gaze, and Manager Ma hastily lowered his head. He then explained to Master Zhou: "He's just a small friend of mine, not a big client, so I didn't invite Master Zhou over."

  "It doesn't matter. Whether big or small clients, they are all our customers, and my big clients were also small clients who grew up, by the way, what's your name, little friend?" Zhou Yiran asked.

  Duan Fei said, "Zhang Yang." After a moment of hesitation, he added, "He was at the Lido Casino yesterday and won a piece of jade, selling it for 16 million."

  When he heard this number, Master Zhou didn't say anything. He had seen such situations too many times. Not to mention 1.6 million, even if it were a 16 million yuan jadeite, he would have personally cracked it open. This is the difference between new and old people. Many people who do gambling stone business don't easily gamble on stones because once they lose, the whole store will be finished. So for original stones that look good on the surface, they would rather mark a high price to sell them out than crack them open themselves.

  Duan Fei couldn't resist this, and since he found out about it, his hands have been itching terribly. He can't wait to personally crack open a raw stone. Don't forget, Duan Fei was originally a casino owner, and the nature of gambling has long been deeply ingrained in his bones. Xiao Fei sending Duan Fei here may have been doomed to fail from the very beginning.

  Zhang Yang didn't notice the conversation beside him, his whole attention was focused on the jade rough stones in front of him. In order to let Duan Fei wear it, he must find a piece of material with jade.
