Chapter 6 The Thoughts In Regards to Entrepreneurship
From the moment Song Ye entered the shop, he had thought that the other party is someone that is naive and don"t know much about the world.
But when the last sentence was said, his heart dropped and he began to observe the child in front of him.
“What…. Are you planning?”
Zhao Zhen frowned and asked her while being on guard. A moment ago, if this emerald is said to be a good deal to him, it had made him felt like he had made a bad decision now as he was not sure if this was something used by her to trick him.
Even though one can earn quite some money in this field, it can also be said that the compet.i.tion behind the scene is so dark that it is scary.
Facing the interrogative stare directed towards her, Song Ye appeared to be calm despite the situation. While she just raised her arm, the emerald appeared in her hand instantenously. Her movement were so quick that Zhao Zhen were left agape.
“Uncle Zhao also do understand that thirty thousand is not enough for this emerald. This transaction does make sense considering that what you want is an emerald that is able to lift your shop"s reputation, while what I want is to open up a path for me to begin entrepreneurship.”
From the moment she stepped into the shop, she noticed that the stocks in his shop are of low quality; which explained how bad of a situation he"s in and why he was rushing to purchase the emerald.
Song Ye thought that it is a fair deal as their needs and wants are fulfilled through this transaction.
It sounds unbelievable when this sentence was said by a 15 year-old teenage girl. Zhao Zhen even thought that he had heard things wrongly.
“Entrepreneurship?”
“Yes, I"m interested in the field of stone gambling and so, I hope to cooperate with Uncle Zhao.”
Song Ye sat herself back beside the table and toyed with the emerald in her hand. She did not realize how much of an impact her words had on others.
No matter how good tempered Zhao Zhen is, he still felt anger when he heard that. With a face that showed anger, he said,
“Hah, I can"t afford to do so if little miss just wanted to play around. This is just a small shop, I apologize that this shop can"t provide you any service now.”
Although he is concerned by the emerald resources lately, that doesn"t mean his head is not cool enough to fool around with a kid.
Song Ye was not fazed by the rejection. Reversedly, she stood up and lightly threw the emerald up on her hand.
Seeing the emerald going up and down, Zhao Zhen"s heart raised and dropped along with the emerald. He was thinking if this lady is so poor that she"s crazed by the money and prayed that the emerald won"t be droppped onto the floor.
Looking at how pained Zhao Zhen felt for the emerald, Song Ye once again calmly opened her mouth,
“Since Uncle Zhao had no intention to cooperate with me, then thirty thousand it is.”
After saying so, the object in her hand fell precisely onto Zhao Zhen"s hand.
The weight on his hands made Zhao Zhen widened his eyes and he hold onto the emerald out of reflex,
“Selling this for only thirty thousand, are you sure you won"t regret it?”
“I won"t. Do pay me by cash, I don"t have any cards.”
Song Ye nodded her head indifferently, seemingly to have decided against being a shareholder to the shop.
But the more carefree Song Ye appeared to be, the more guilt-ridden Zhao Zhen is. With a difference of fews tens of thousands, why would she agree to this trade even though she"s actually the one that had morr loss. Is it because she don"t care about the money, or is she….
As if she had seen through Zhao Zhen"s thoughts, Song Ye walked to the gla.s.s display in the shop.
“You don"t need to be suspicious of anything, Uncle Zhao, as the item is already in your hands now. If by chance I"m able to get my hands on new goods, I will come and trade with you.”
What? She had ways to obtain the goods?
Zhao Zhen had received countless shocks in this day alone. Not only was he able to extract a rare emerald, he was also persuaded by Song Ye"s mysterious and mature behaviour.
Looking at her att.i.tude, Zhao Zhen had really believed that the raw stone she took out earlier was not a family heirloom as she had proclaimed, and that she really had ways to obtain the emerald resources.
After considering this much, the emerald in his hand felt hot and he made a decision.
“I will give you thirty percent of this shop"s share as a replacement for the remaining forty thousand.”
This means that Zhao Zhen had agreed to cooperate with her.
But what he did not notice is that the Song Ye that had her back facing him had a calculating gaze.
She, of course don"t really have any resources. Both the heirloom or the transaction later on are only used to trick Zhao Zhen.
For Song Ye who had a great deal of knowledge in regards to criminal psychology, it was easy for her to deal with an honest businessman such as Zhao Zhen. Of course, she was not worried that he will go against his words, as she will let him know how cruel the world can be if he was to do that.
Even though she can obtain thirty thousand now, the contract can only be done tomorrow. Song Ye casually waved her hand and left the jewellery shop after telling him that she will be back to get it done tomorrow.
Zhao Zhen stood in front of the shop looking at the teenage girl that had thirty thousand on her walking in a carefree way. He then looked towards the emerald on his hand which made him felt surreal.
The sun had completely went down and the surrounding houses had lighted up. The northern region is colder during winter night.
Turning into a corner, Song Ye smoothly kept the thirty thousand into her pocket s.p.a.ce. Rubbing her flat belly, she decided to fill her stomach up and treat this body, that was abused, well.
Remembering when she learnt that she had missed out on her optimal growth phase during her checkup in the organization and caused her height to stop at only 165cm in her past life, she would not want the same thing to happen again and raise her head just to look at others now that she had a second chance.
Since the G.o.d had given her a second chance in life, then she wanted to eat well, drink well and live well!
When she reached the restaurant by the river, she was attracted by the scent. As the restaurant had just captured some seafood from the icy river surface, the restaurant currently had lots of seafood.
With a tattered cotton clothing on her while standing in front of the restaurant, the restaurant owner creased her brow to the point it can kill a fly. As the restaurant is in the peak hour, there"s a lot of customers in the restaurant. She waved her hand to chase Song Ye out without thinking much about it.
“Shoo, don"t obstruct my business if you don"t have money to pay me. There"s no leftovers for you as well.”
This sentence was said rudely in a high volume. The customers near the restaurant entrance looked over, the smile on their face seemed to be mocking her.
Song Ye lowered her head to look at her attire. Hmm, it is indeed in a bad shape, but she did not even stretched out her hand asking for food; aren"t this restaurant owner too sn.o.bbish for her own good?
“Deep Fried Shrimp, Iron Panned Squid, Steamed Weever, Vermicelli Crab…..”
She raised her eyesight and looked at the menu. A clear voice that is neither soft nor loud can still be heard in the noisy restaurant.
Without waiting for her to finish, the restaurant owner"s face darkened and yelled impatiently.
“Hey, I"m talking to you. Are you trying to cause trouble for me? Hurry up and…” leave.
Before she can finish her sentence, an old man had lightly landed on her hand. The number that showed one hundred had successfully shut her mouth. As Song Ye took out the money very quickly, she was not able to react in time.
“Add in another set of Sauerkraut Clam Soup. Payment first, food later. Do you still have any questions.”
After Song Ye finished her sentence, she walked straight into the corner where the table is not occupied.
The tables near the restaurant entrance went quiet. No one could"ve guessed that a girl that looked so poor would be able to take the old man out just like that.
The restaurant owner came back to her senses a little while later and swallowed her saliva. She felt the gaze that the young girl had given her earlier is blood-curdling.
…165cm and she said that"s short….
:") the me who"s 160cm now feels tiny…..
