Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Gold and Jade

"I have to be honest, I hadn't intended to sell this hotel at first, but after hearing from Jiayun that Mr. Lin is quite young, I figured I might as well meet with him. If I could become acquainted with a young talent like Mr. Lin, it would be more than ideal." Hang Lee thought for a moment before revealing his thoughts.

"This hotel doesn't mean that much to me. I have always been interested in venturing into other industries. If Mr. Lin could guide me into other fields, I would even consider giving this hotel to Mr. Lin as a goodwill gesture. If Mr.

Lin ever wants or plans to buy this building in the future, I can even offer him a discounted price." Hang Lee gazed at Lin Yun as he said this, a smile on his face.

He would even consider giving this hotel to him?

Lin Yun was amazed.

Wasn't Hang Lee too generous?

Based on the information Hang Lee had just provided, the hotel was worth at least ten million. Was he really willing to give away this ten-million-dollar asset? And also offer him a discounted price if he wanted to buy the building in the future?

The benefit was immense!

Lin Yun wasn't a fool. He clearly understood Hang Lee's intentions!

If Hang Lee was willing to concede this much, naturally he was hoping to reap significant benefits from him as well!

However, did Hang Lee really have that much faith in him?

As of now, even after factoring in every bit of his wealth, he only had less than six million. Even if he planned to buy the hotel, it was valued at just one to two million...

Lin Yun really didn't understand just why the other party was so optimistic about him.

In truth, Lin Yun overlooked one thing.

Although the hotel was only worth a couple of millions, it was hard for Hang Lee not to overthink when a young man wanted to buy a hotel just because.

Listening to Hang Lee's words, Jiayun Lee was also slightly surprised.

He would even consider giving this hotel to this youthful-looking young man? Did he really have that much potential?

With that thought, Jiayun Lee blinked her pretty eyes at Lin Yun, trying to gauge anything from him.

Lin Yun was tapping his fingers on the table, once more lost in thought.

If everything Hang Lee said was true, he indeed had substantial strength, and Lin Yun desired to form a partnership with such a strong ally.

Albeit, the power banks he was selling had a sizable profit, but if Hang Lee didn't have a distribution network for electronic products, it would be difficult to quickly push out the product and capitalize on the opportunity.

"Mr. Lee, what business do you currently work in?" After some thought, Lin Yun asked.

After mulling it over, he decided to start from the business Hang Lee was currently dealing with. This way, he could better utilize Hang Lee's strength.

"The business I'm involved in?" Hang Lee pondered.

"I partnered with someone a few years back in the real estate industry, which is how I accumulated some properties. However, as the real estate industry is increasingly challenging, I slowly backed out of it. I tried my hand at various sectors due to my uncertainties; hotels, a couple of high-end restaurants, a few gold and jewelry shops.

They all are small-scale ventures; not a lot of them are big..." Hang Lee expressed his thoughts.

"You own several gold and jewelry shops?" Lin Yun's eyes sparkled.

He planned to visit a gold and jewelry shop soon to explore the process of buying gold. If Hang Lee owned several of these shops, he wouldn't have to make that trip. He could directly ask Hang Lee now.

"Does Mr. Lin wish to venture into the gold and jewelry industry as well?" Hang Lee asked in surprise.

With this insight, his brain started working overtime—gold and jewelry had a promising future. The wealthy were growing in number, and especially women, purchasing jewelry was increasingly considered normal. Yet, the industry was somewhat challenging to develop. Without notoriety, it was hard to attract the affluent.

To establish a brand, one would need high-end jewelry. The value of gold is certain, but the price of jade is immeasurable. Jade jewelry was the best avenue for growth. However, the jade industry was too complicated. Even though he wanted to develop it, he lacked the connections to do so.

If Lin Yun had connections to help him out, it would be fantastic.

"I haven't ventured into the gold and jewelry industry yet, but I'm interested in purchasing a batch of gold. Does Mr. Lee have any suggestions on this?" Lin Yun shook his head.

"Mr. Lin intends to buy a batch of gold?" Hang Lee frowned slightly.

If it was merely a simple gold purchase, Lin Yun could easily do it directly from a gold shop. However, Lin Yun's enquiry into it...was he asking for a cheaper channel to purchase gold?

"Gold prices are incredibly transparent. If Mr. Lin wishes to buy gold at a much lower price..." Hang Lee said hesitantly.

He did indeed know some cheaper ways to obtain gold, but he was unsure if he should reveal them to Lin Yun. He befriended Lin Yun because he wished for Lin Yun to guide him, yet Lin Yun hadn't done so. Instead, it appeared Hang Lee would have to guide Lin Yun, leaving him slightly speechless.

"Mr. Lee, you have misunderstood me. For gold pricing, the market price is fine. I plan on purchasing a large quantity so I don't want to cause any hassle. Therefore, I was hoping you could help..." Lin Yun cut Hang Lee off before he could finish speaking.

"Are you fine with market prices? Might I ask how much gold you plan to purchase?" Hang Lee was shocked again.

If that was the case, this wasn't a matter of him guiding Lin Yun. Rather, Lin Yun was bringing Hang Lee a substantial deal. It seemed Lin Yun needed quite a bit of gold.

"The more, the better. May I ask how much gold does Mr. Lee have at his gold and jewelry shop?" Lin Yun offered a slight smile as he spoke.

"I don't have much pure gold inventory in my shop, only a few dozen kilograms. However, pardon my straightforwardness, if Mr. Lin isn't concerned about the price, I can get several hundred kilograms of gold anytime. If you need more, that might cause some minor issues, but I can assure you a slightly lower price than the market rate." Hang Lee thought for a moment, then replied.

A kilogram equals a thousand grams, and the current price of gold is around 270 yuan per gram, making it approximately 270,000 yuan per kilogram. A hundred kilograms amounts to around 27 million yuan, and a thousand kilograms would be around 270 million yuan.

If Lin Yun required a thousand kilograms, and even if Hang Lee only made ten yuan per gram, he would still make over ten million.

He can get his hands on several hundred kilograms of gold anytime?

Lin Yun's fingers started tapping on the table again.

Several hundred kilograms would require at least a few tens of millions. He only had less than six million at present, which was far from enough.

Not to mention, he also intended to buy Hang Lee's hotel.

The main issue was the power banks; he didn't know when he could start selling them.

If not, he could first buy some gold to convert it into Spirit Energy Points, and then purchase power banks to convert into Huaxia Currency. The almost tenfold difference meant he could quickly profit tens of millions.

Right, gold and jewelry shops? Then, they should be selling more than just gold, right?

Lin Yun had a moment of clarity and suddenly remembered something he saw on the Cosmic Trading System.

"Mr. Lee, does your gold and jewelry shop need jade?" Lin Yun turned towards Hang Lee and asked with a grin.
