Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Take Down
Seeing some of the restaurant customers crowding around, Lin Yun did not stop them.
Beside him were five Class A bodyguards. His skills surpassed even a Class A bodyguard. He was not afraid of anyone taking his jades, was he?
"This jade is worth twenty-three million on the market, this one's worth twenty-seven million, this one's worth twenty-one million, this one's worth thirty-five million..." Elder Zhang, a lifelong jade collector, was quickly quoting prices for each jade as he examined them.
"A jade for twenty to thirty million? Did I hear that right?"
"Damn, that's expensive!"
Some onlookers gasped in surprise.
The prices of these jades really shocked them.
They were able to dine in this restaurant, which meant they were quite well-off. But compared to the price of these pieces of jade, they felt insignificant.
Twenty to thirty million for a jade, and there are over ten pieces here. So, they are worth several hundred million?
Apart from the extremely wealthy, few people could overlook such an amount.
"These pieces of jade are extremely high-quality and indeed worth that much..."
"Exactly, the last time I saw a bracelet of similar quality, it cost five million. From this jade alone, you could easily make five or six bracelets and still have plenty left..." said some connoisseurs, their expressions serious.
"I was planning to buy a set of jade jewelry, but now it seems, I should be grateful if I could afford a single ear stud..." a woman dressed like a wealthy lady bitterly laughed.
"Does all this jade belong to Mr. Lin? Mr. Lin is so young and yet so rich..."
"What business is Mr. Lin into? Not only does he have those awesome power banks, he also manages a restaurant that serves such delicious food, and now he has revealed jades worth several hundred million..." the wholesalers were awe-struck.
"This jade has a market price of forty-nine million, this one is fifty-seven million, this one is sixty-three million..."
At this moment, when Elder Zhang began talking about the larger pieces of jade and quoted astronomical prices, the surrounding crowd was shocked more than ever.
"Fifteen jades, market price totalling four billion two hundred and thirty million. Calculating at a 20% increase on the market price, that would be five billion seventy-six million. My dear friend, you really gave me a big surprise..." Hang Lee looked up at Lin Yun and gave a wry smile.
It bears mentioning that there is a reason Hang Lee owns such a big business. At least, his ability to calculate on his feet was commendable. As soon as Elder Zhang finished quoting the market price for the last piece of jade, Hang Lee had already calculated the total and the final price after adding the 20% hike.
The final price of five billion seventy-six million!
Hearing this price, everyone was shocked!

The fact that buying a large number of high-quality jades at once did not make them cheaper, but made them even more expensive, was a surprise for the crowd!
"Brother Lee, can you manage it?" Lin Yun asked with a smile.
"I will! I have to get it no matter what!" Without any hesitation, Hang Lee gritted his teeth and nodded.
It was already hard for him to purchase a piece of high-quality jade on a normal day. Now that more than a dozen pieces of high-quality jade were laid in front of him, how could he possibly pass them up?
With this bulk purchase, he could easily grab the spotlight. This could also ensure the supply of high-end jewellery in his store for quite a long time, preventing a potential situation where there would be no stocks left even after he gained fame.
Actually, the more high-quality jade he bought, the more economical it was for him.
Because he had already planned on spending some money on promotion. Promotion needs a promotional budget. At this time, the more high-end jewellery he had, the more cost-effective his promotional expenditure would become. Otherwise, if people came to his store and he did not have much to sell, it would become awkward.
If you have goods worth a hundred million, you would dare to spend ten million on advertising. If you have goods worth five hundred million, you would dare to spend fifty million on advertising. But if you have only a hundred million worth of stock, would you dare to spend fifty million on advertising?
It was simple logic.
"Hey, Brother Qi, I need you to sell all my stocks immediately and try to get the money out." Hang Lee started making phone calls in the next moment.
He did have assets worth five billion, but not five billion in cash.
"Hello, Brother Ma, I need you to transfer one hundred million to my account immediately. I really need it. I will pay you back in a few days. Yes, yes, hurry up." After hanging up the first call, Hang Lee started the second one.
Seeing Hang Lee scrounge money like this, Lin Yun couldn't bear to watch and said, "Brother Lee, if you don't have enough money, don't panic. It's fine to give a day or two later."
Even if he was to make changes in the Tianyu Group's stocks, it would not be a matter of one or two days.
"No problem, let's keep everything distinct. I've already arranged for the money." After hanging up the call, Hang Lee looked at Lin Yun and smiled.
"Brother Lee has had a hard time. The price of these jades is five billion. As for the small change, let's ignore it. And these two days, I will give Brother Lee a big gift." Lin Yun nodded and smiled.
He did not discard the 20% increase on the market price completely because it was too much. That was seventy to eighty million. He was a poor guy once upon a time, so he was still somewhat stingy.
However, with one sentence, Lin Yun rounded down the sum of seven million six hundred thousand, shocking the crowd once again.
Many people wished they were Lin Yun and the removed change was given to them instead.
Seven million six hundred thousand! This was an amount many of them might not earn even after working for many years.
They were more stingy than Lin Yun.
"Then I won't be modest. This time, the amount of jade you brought is too much that it almost emptied my pocket." Hang Lee laughed.
"Oh right, a big gift? What's the big gift you want to give me?" Suddenly, Hang Lee noticed the latter part of what Lin Yun said and asked in surprise.
"In a couple of days, Brother Lee will know." Lin Yun laughed.
"Alright, I will wait for your big gift, my dear friend. Okay, I need to make a quick call to the Gold Sword Security Company. The security level I brought this time seems a bit low." Hang Lee laughed before picking up his phone to call the Gold Sword Security Company.
By the time Hang Lee hung up the phone, all his money had already been arranged. He immediately started transferring money to Lin Yun.
The total weight of the gold he brought was five hundred kilogrammes.
If calculated at two hundred and sixty-five per gram, the total was roughly one hundred and thirty million.
Likewise, Hang Lee rounded down the fractional amount of one hundred and thirty million.
Five billion minus one hundred and thirty million, he transferred three hundred and seventy million to Lin Yun.
After three hundred and seventy million was deposited into his account, Lin Yun greeted Hang Lee, saying he was going to check the gold.
As Elder Zhang was examining the jades, the gold had already been delivered upstairs.
Lin Yun asked them to send the gold to the room he and Xia Qingqing were staying in.
Hang Lee insisted on accompanying Lin Yun.
Upon thinking it through, he had brought in the gold, and the quantity was also determined by him. It was only reasonable for him to accompany Lin Yun for inspection.
Lin Yun did not refuse. He actually wanted to transfer the gold into the trading space as soon as possible and exchange it for Spirit Crystals.
However, even if Hang Lee went with him, it was not a big deal. He could completely avoid Hang Lee's sight and transfer the gold into the trading space after checking the gold.
