The twenty-third act is also for the rich.

  After returning to the backyard of Huispringen from Tan Ni, Roger immediately rushed towards the wooden box with a sly smile. As for jade and other precious stones, Roger had never been interested in them because he knew that the jade bought with his own money would inevitably be fake or inferior products, so it was best not to see or hear anything about them.

  But now, Roger was mesmerized by the colorful stones in front of him, and in their crystal clarity, he saw his future, endless wealth!

  In modern times, he bought various medicines at the price of dirt and brought them to this world to sell at a high price in exchange for small, valuable items such as jade jewelry, which he would then transport back to modern times to make money. The money earned was used to buy more medicine, creating a cycle where 10 or so yuan worth of penicillin could ultimately become tens of thousands of yuan worth of jewels! Simply by walking back and forth in the cave, Roger had earned a profit of thousands or even tens of thousands of times! With this money, he could continuously bring modern items that were already outdated but were super-advanced technology in the Republic of China to this side.

  He tossed the small piece of crystal clear jade in his hand and muttered to himself, "After selling this batch of jade, I wonder if I can also start a company in modern times."

  ……

  Two days later, Roger returned to modern times and found the most reputable jewelry company in Hainan, Bao Haitang, according to the information he had previously gathered.

  "Welcome! What kind of jewelry are you looking for? Our Treasure Hall has the best designers in all of Hainan, each piece..."

  Before the salesgirl could finish, Roger interrupted her: "Sorry, I'm not here to buy anything. My name is Roger and I had an appointment with your manager to discuss business. Could you please take me to see your manager?"

  "Oh, it's Mr. Luo, this way, our manager is on the second floor."

  As the salesgirl entered the manager's office, Manager Xu and several others were already waiting inside.

  "After sitting down, Roger first introduced himself: 'Manager Xu, I'm Roger, a newcomer to the jade business circle. Please take care of me.'"

  Manager Xu smiled slightly and said, "If your goods are really as excellent as you mentioned on the phone earlier, then I'm afraid it's me who needs to take good care of you. In today's jewelry industry, raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce, it's not a matter of money, but even with money, you can't buy good materials! As long as you have good goods in hand, we will definitely not let you suffer on the price aspect. It's really hard to find a stable and reliable supplier nowadays."

  Manager Xu is telling the truth. Although saying so obviously shows weakness, these things are also well-known in the jewelry industry, and there's no need to pretend to be something you're not.

  "Haha, hearing Manager Xu say that makes me feel at ease. As long as Bao Haitang is sincere about making this deal a long-term one, I guarantee my goods will not disappoint you all!"

  As he spoke, Roger confidently placed the password box on the table and suddenly opened it. Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to the fist-sized, completely transparent emerald green object inside.

  "This is a top-notch glass kiln! Whether it's the water or the kind, they're all of the highest quality!" With years of experience, Manager Xu and several expert appraisers he had specially invited almost immediately came to this conclusion.

  "Is this the stuff you were talking about?!" Manager Xu's excited expression quickly subsided, although Myanmar's old pit jade mining has been going on for a long time and its momentum is weak. However, this kind of top-grade old pit glass species can still be seen, although it's rare, but for Manager Xu who has experienced many storms, it's not worth making a big fuss about.

  "Uh, this is one of those goods, and compared to the others, its quality is a bit inferior, but fortunately, it's relatively small in size, so it's convenient to carry, so I brought it along. If you want to take a look at the others, just call someone downstairs to help move them, and we can estimate their value while we're at it."

  "The quality is a bit inferior!? The volume is relatively small!?"

  Director Xu and his team exchanged glances, their faces turning red with rage, almost to the point of exploding. Several old experts nearly jumped up to fight Roger to the death!

  Can these few be considered as having no leisure time? Can they even be considered second-rate?! What about the treasure in their own store, shouldn't it also be thrown away?! A fist-sized one can be considered small, does he think that jade is like any ordinary stone from a mountain?! Who has ever seen a desktop-sized, completely transparent, and flawless piece of top-quality jade?!

  It's not that there aren't any top-quality jade pieces, but nowadays who gets a premium piece and doesn't put it in the store to admire, unwilling to use it? Who has it like him, casually hauling it over to sell?! That's something worth tens of millions! Is he driving a tank here or what?! Does he really feel that safe?!

  "I'm asking you all, are you going or not? Give me an answer! What's with the silence?" Seeing that no one responded, Roger waited for a while before finally losing his patience.

  "Go! All of you come with me to take a look!" Manager Xu regained his composure and immediately summoned the experts from his company, who rushed downstairs in a flurry.

  This time Roger rented a car for transporting jade, and all the goods were placed in the trunk.

  As soon as they went downstairs, Manager Xu and the others immediately surrounded Roger's car trunk, all wanting to see what this "better quality, bigger piece" of jade that Roger had been talking about looked like. If it was indeed a top-quality piece, then Bao Hai Tang would have made a huge profit!

  These days, what many jewelry companies lack is not money, but good sources of goods!

  Seeing everyone's anxious faces, Roger smiled slightly and opened the trunk.

  "Shut... shut it! Quick, shut it, don't let others see it! Little Cui, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and call the security guards, all of them! And also, immediately contact the bank to get an armored car! Old Zhang, aren't you familiar with the armed police? Quickly get 180 people over here! It's not safe to keep this thing here, store it in the bank vault!"

  With just a glance, Manager Xu was almost scared to the point of wetting his pants. Several pieces of jade with unit prices of at least tens of millions were piled up in the carriage, and apart from being padded with something, there were no other protective measures!

  What if a robber comes at this time... I'm afraid the robbery case with the largest amount of money in nearly ten years will be born, even if you rob a bank, you can't get something so valuable!

  Manager Xu has made up his mind! A supplier with such a good source of goods must be seized!

  "Mr. Luo, I don't know... is there still stock of this quality on your side?"

  Roger thought for a moment and said, "To be honest with you, this batch of goods is from a wealthy family in Myanmar, it's a treasured heirloom. I personally don't have any jade mines in my hands, all the goods are collected through some external connections. It will be difficult to get such high-quality goods again in the future, but I can guarantee that our future goods will not disappoint you! If you have any doubts, we can sign a long-term contract next time when I deliver the goods. My company is still running and needs to wait for some time to register, by the time the second batch of goods arrives, my strength should be proven, and then we can sign a long-term contract, how about that?"

  "Alright then, I'll do as you say. Let them re-evaluate the price carefully later, and I assure you that you won't be at a loss! When is your next batch of goods arriving?"

  Roger smiled, he believed that Manager Xu would not let himself be taken advantage of. The quality of this batch of goods was extremely rare, even if the quality of the goods he supplied later was slightly inferior, it was still an absolutely worthwhile supplier to cooperate with. You can cheat him once, but you will lose all long-term benefits!

  "What about the next batch, how about half a year later? It takes time to receive the goods, and you also need to recover your funds. Even if I take out another batch of goods immediately, you may not dare to accept them too quickly."

  Baohaitang is a large company, but the jewelry industry has extremely high costs for receiving goods. They cannot use all their liquid funds to receive goods, and even if they do not cause a break in the capital chain in the short term, they will still suffer greatly.

  Manager Xu nodded: "That's right, so I'd like to discuss with you, can we pay in installments this time? We really can't come up with such a large amount of cash at once! You know, your goods are truly rare and valuable, estimated to be worth at least 100 million, so..."

  Roger thought for a moment and then came up with a sentence: "Is this installment payment calculated based on the loan interest rate or the savings interest rate?"
