Wealth and beauty beyond measure

  Zhang Yang was somewhat perplexed. The old man who had been so arrogant just a moment before had suddenly changed his attitude. Could it be because of his own relationship with the jade? It seemed that people were valued only if they had skills, and now that he had gambled away two pieces of jade, everyone's attitude towards him had shifted. If he hadn't won the jade, he would probably have been labeled as someone who didn't know his place.

  Zhang Yang glanced at Duan Fei's envious, jealous and hateful eyes, he had done everything he could do, now all he could do was wait for the result. He smiled and said: "Brother Duan, I'll take my leave first, this piece of jade is really not safe to carry on me."

  Duan Fei Qiang smiled and said: "You go ahead with your business, I'll notify you once I've fixed the time."

  "Alright. Thank you so much, Brother Duan, today really is thanks to you, just like you said, the material here is indeed very good, I'll remember this favor. Another day I'll treat Brother Duan to a meal." Zhang Yang said.

  Duan Fei didn't say anything, he was so jealous that he almost went crazy.

  Manager Ma saw Zhang Yang walking out and asked with a stir in his heart, "Master Zhou, is that piece of jade really good? Does our Jade Pavilion need it?"

  "Of course, such good jade is not easy to come by. Although it's not a rare species, it's indeed the mainstream consumer product in the market. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to let go of it now, and if it goes up for auction, it may not necessarily be our turn." Master Zhou said, shaking his head as he left.

  Manager Ma took a look at Duan Fei's stunned expression, smiled strangely, and hurriedly ran out the door.

  At the entrance of Feicui Pavilion, Zhang Yang said to Liang Pangzi: "Brother Liang, thanks for your trouble today."

  "What's the trouble, to say that my brother still wants to thank you, thinking of jade taking care of my brother. Younger brother, don't you really consider that piece of jade?" Liang Pangzi said with some reluctance.

  Zhang Yang laughed and said: "Let me think about it."

  Li Angzi felt a bit disappointed, but the two didn't have much of a relationship. Now thinking back to yesterday when he bought the jade and left, it was really a big mistake. If he had gotten along with Zhang Yang, maybe things wouldn't be like this now.

  "Alright, let me know when you've made up your mind." Liang Pangzi said as he got into his car with the first piece of jade.

  Just as Zhang Yang was about to get on the bus, he heard someone behind him calling out: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang."

  Zhang Yang turned his head and saw that it was the manager who had been silent all along.

  Seeing Zhang Yang stop in his tracks, Manager Ma let out a sigh of relief and walked up to him, panting slightly, and introduced himself: "Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you, I'm the general manager of Feicui Pavilion, here's my business card."

  Zhang Yang took a look and saw Ma Guojun, the manager of Feicui Xuan's main hall.

  "Is there something? If you want to buy that jade, don't even mention it." Zhang Yang said ruthlessly, unaware of his relationship with Duan Fei, Zhang Yang didn't want his painstaking plan to go down the drain.

  "Mr. Zhang, I know you want to sell at a high price, and if it were an auction, you would definitely achieve your goal. But even if you sold it at a high price, you may not be able to buy that old material," said Ma Guojun.

  "That's how it is! At least I sold it for a good price, didn't I? Although I've just started participating in the jade stone gambling, I've also gained some understanding of the market. This piece of jade in my hand belongs to the high-end variety, and while it may not be impossible to find, there will definitely be no shortage of buyers."

  In fact, all of this was inferred by Zhang Yang from Liang Pangzi, Zhou Yiran and Ma Guojun's series of performances. However, now that he has said so, it gives Ma Guojun an impression that the person in front of him is not as incompetent as he appears to be.

  "Not bad, Mr. Zhang said it's all right. Mr. Zhang, have you ever considered choosing a long-term partner? With your skills, you'll definitely continue to work in the jade industry, and the jade you gamble out will only increase in quantity. If there isn't a stable sales channel, won't you suffer a significant loss? After all, auctions like this aren't always available. As for your friend Mr. Liang, I'm sorry to say that his price wasn't high. Take that piece of jade, for example - if we were to buy it, the price would be at least 100,000 higher." Ma Guojun said.

  Zhang Yang's heart moved, he admitted that Ma Guojun made a lot of sense. He was very clear about Liang Pangzi taking advantage of him, but he had no way out at the time. If he hadn't called Liang Pangzi over, the price offered by Feicui Xuan might not have reached 350,000. However, relying solely on Liang Pangzi wasn't a solution either, and he really needed a new sales channel.

  It's just the Emerald Pavilion, this is Xiao Fei's territory, and cooperating with him, Zhang Yang asks himself if he has such a big heart. However, this Manager Ma is quite interesting, he comes over to find himself, definitely not on Duanshi's orders, because from start to finish he hasn't mentioned Duan Fei.

  "Manager Ma, you mean you want to cooperate with me? Why didn't Brother Duan come himself?" Zhang Yang asked intentionally.

  Ma Guojun smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang may have gotten one thing wrong, Manager Duan is just a manager of the company, not the boss, he's only in charge of the jade stone business. And I'm the hall manager, responsible for all the businesses inside the Feicui Pavilion store. Of course, it's not your fault, after all, you've been dealing with Manager Duan for a long time, maybe there are many things he didn't tell you."

  Zhang Yang and Duan Fei's cause and effect of getting to know each other had already been investigated clearly by him. What he regretted now was that he didn't take charge himself that day, but instead followed his boss's intention, giving the newly arrived Duan Fei some face, letting him take charge, which caused him to miss the opportunity to get to know Zhang Yang.

  "What about the last time I sold gold?" Zhang Yang vaguely sensed Ma Guojun's hostility towards Duan Fei and continued to probe.

  Ma Guojun gritted his teeth, and indeed it was the aftermath of that incident. He could only explain: "Manager Duan had just arrived that day, and the store manager hadn't specifically divided our work yet, which led to the situation that day. But it won't happen again in the future. Mr. Zhang, if you want to sell jade in the future, just contact me."

  "Oh, I see. Then why did Manager Ma look for me?" Zhang Yang said.

  Ma Guojun smiled and said, "Of course, it's to get acquainted with Mr. Zhang, so that we can communicate more conveniently in the future. Also, I want to buy this piece of jade from Mr. Zhang. I absolutely won't disappoint you, and I'll definitely give you the best price as the basis for our cooperation. What do you think?"

  Zhang Yang smiled and circled around, still for the sake of this piece of jade. Indeed, the allure of jade is great. However, this person was clearly dissatisfied with Duan Fei. Not even a familiar face in the Jade Pavilion could provide useful information. When something happened to Duan Fei, there was no way to get any news. Ma Guojun was someone who could be utilized.

  Maybe at the critical moment, this person can still push a fatal blow.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Yang didn't dare to refuse directly anymore. He smiled and said: "Manager Ma, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. However, I just refused Liang Ge, if I sell it to you so quickly, I won't be able to explain myself. How about this? We can keep in touch at any time, as long as your price is suitable, I will prioritize considering selling the jadeite to Feicui Xuan."

  Ma Guojun smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, I'm selling it to you. I will do my best to help Mr. Zhang get a good price."

  "If that's really the case, I'll maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Manager Ma in the future. Of course, I won't let Manager Ma work for nothing, just like Master Shi has a labor fee, I'll also give Manager Ma a consideration." Zhang Yang hinted.

  Through Wang Yue's education, Zhang Yang knew that there was no free lunch in this world. To gain benefits, one had to learn to give benefits and let everyone involved get a share, so the other party would go all out for you as if it were their own business.

  As expected, when Zhang Yang said that, Ma Guojun laughed even more happily. This kid really knows how to be a person and didn't waste his expression for nothing. After Zhang Yang left by car, Ma Guojun returned to Feicui Xuan with a pleased expression. When he thought of Zhang Yang's hint earlier, his heart skipped a beat. It seems that at this price, he really needs to think of a good way.
