Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 331 - 330: The Raw Material Tycoon

"Of course, of course!" Zhang Yaku hurriedly nodded when he heard this.

"Then thank you, Brother Zhang," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.

"No, no, don’t call me Brother Zhang. That makes me nervous. You can just call me by name, or call me Old Zhang. After all, you are a billionaire!" Zhang Yaku said hastily.

"Haha! Is it really that big of a deal?" Ge Dongxu laughed and said.

"Of course, it’s a big deal, a billionaire! How many are there in Huaxia Country now? Let alone someone as young as you. If I go back and tell my wife, she certainly won’t believe me! And another thing, Qinghe Herbal Tea is truly a great product. In summer, our family mostly drinks Qinghe Herbal Tea, and we rarely let the children drink other beverages," Zhang Yaku said earnestly.

"Still, herbal tea is herbal tea, and it can’t replace water. So in the summer, when the kids are thirsty, they should still drink more water; that’s the healthiest way," Ge Dongxu said.

"Boss Ge, aren’t you damaging your own brand there!" Zhang Yaku was slightly surprised upon hearing this, then laughed and said.

"Don’t, don’t call me Boss Ge, that makes me nervous, too," Ge Dongxu said hastily.

"Haha, then I’ll take the liberty of continuing to call you by your name," Zhang Yaku said.

"That’s how it should be," Ge Dongxu laughed and said.

They chatted and laughed all the way until the car reached Yingjiang.

Zhang Yaku’s hometown was in Yingjiang, and his parents and several brothers were still there.

Before returning to Yingjiang, he had already called his eldest brother, who he was closest with, so upon arriving at Yingjiang, Zhang Yaku booked a hotel for Ge Dongxu, and then took him to his elder brother’s house.

They had an authentic local home-cooked meal at his elder brother’s house at noon.

After the meal, with Zhang Yaku’s introduction, Ge Dongxu visited a few of his close friends’ shops and took a look around.

They indeed had some good items on hand, and by the afternoon, Ge Dongxu had spent a total of one hundred thousand and managed to find a stone with Glass Type Jadeite inside it.

Then, Ge Dongxu requested to open the stone in private. The jadeite extracted from the stone was not big, enough to make only three Jade Tokens.

Even with Ice Type Jade, Ge Dongxu could now complete a Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation in one breath, but the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation was much more difficult. Even using Glass Type Jadeite, Ge Dongxu was not sure he could successfully carve one out of ten pieces, so three was definitely not enough.

According to Ge Dongxu’s thinking, he needed to gather at least a hundred pieces of jadeite at this level.

Firstly, there was the issue of success rate; secondly, the trip was time-consuming; and thirdly, he needed to reserve some supply for the future.

He couldn’t possibly run to the border every few days.

Luckily, Ge Dongxu didn’t tell Zhang Yaku his plan, otherwise it would probably scare Zhang Yaku silly.

A hundred pieces of Glass Type Jadeite, even if those Jade Tokens aren’t particular about shape or color, it’s still Glass Type!

They really think it’s as common as mung bean jade, found everywhere on the streets!

"Your friends have decent stock, but it’s too little. Do they know anyone who has more?" After half a day of looking around, Ge Dongxu said to Zhang Yaku.

"You really are a big boss, dissolving a hundred-thousand-dollar stone so easily, and still not satisfied," Zhang Yaku said.

Ge Dongxu looked at Zhang Yaku with a smile.

"We do have a boss in the rough jade business here, who has at least this amount of goods on hand," Zhang Yaku said, making a gesture for the number eight.

"Eight million?" Ge Dongxu’s eyes lit up slightly.

"No, it’s eighty million!" Zhang Yaku shook his head, his eyes filled with longing.

"Eighty million!" Ge Dongxu was also startled by the words.

Eighty million, even for the current Ge Dongxu, was no small sum, and for the average person, it was a astronomical figure.

"That’s right, eighty million. Many of the raw stones from the Myanmar public auctions pass through his hands. Not only that, but it’s said that many raw stones are directly transferred from the mines to him under the table. Every year, many jade businessmen go there to get goods, including those from the mainland as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, they are basically all big bosses, because the stones there are very expensive," Zhang Yaku explained.

"That’s great, take me there tomorrow to have a look," Ge Dongxu said, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

"His place isn’t open every day, it opens only once a quarter. You’re lucky in timing; the day after tomorrow they will open for business, just for one day. Tomorrow, I’ll take you around other places in Yingjiang first," Zhang Yaku said.

"Okay, I’m free anyway, might as well take a look around," Ge Dongxu nodded his agreement.

The next day, accompanied by Zhang Yaku, Ge Dongxu made another round of the Yingjiang rough jade market. He picked up a few pieces of nearly glass-type stones, which professionals call high ice type jadeite.

For the raw material production base of Qinglan Cosmetics, Ge Dongxu needed to set up a formation that also required jade stones for stabilization.

The jade stones for stabilizing the formation needed to be operative and present throughout the year, covering a large area. Not only did they need to be of good quality, but their overall volume also had to be large, unlike the small pieces of jade tokens used for the Spirit Gathering Array.

So when Ge Dongxu found suitable ones, he naturally bought them. Of course, the price was not cheap; he spent one and a half to one and six million yuan on a few pieces, which made the nearby Zhang Yaku secretly impressed by the rich’s capriciousness.

Fortunately, Ge Dongxu, not wishing to frighten Zhang Yaku, processed the stones alone, and directly bagged the jade that resulted. Otherwise, Zhang Yaku’s impression wouldn’t have been of a rich man’s capriciousness but that Ge Dongxu was not really buying rough stones but rather purchasing high-grade jadeite.

...

The place Zhang Yaku spoke of was not in the county town but located in a village by the mountains and water.

The site was in a large courtyard at the foot of the mountain, with a temporary warehouse constructed inside. A significant portion of the stones was placed inside the warehouse, and some were laid out in the yard.

There weren’t many cars parked at the entrance of the courtyard, nor many people inside, incomparable to the bustling market of Yingjiang. But the cars that were there were all imports, and Zhang Yaku’s rented Santana seemed particularly shabby in comparison. Everyone in the yard, donned in designer clothes and wristwatches, was obviously wealthy.

Zhang Yaku was clearly a bit nervous, and even his walk seemed uneasy as he entered the courtyard.

It was evident that for a small jade businessman like him, the psychological pressure from rough stones worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan was significant, undermining his usual confidence.

As for Ge Dongxu, he looked relaxed and even comfortable.

At this moment, Ge Dongxu indeed felt quite content, as he discovered that the village was a place with good Feng Shui, featuring clean mountains, beautiful waters, and air filled with more abundant spirit energy than other places.

It was an ideal place for cultivation. Ge Dongxu mentally praised the location and looked up, casting a meaningful glance toward the mountainside behind the courtyard.

There, half up the mountain, a quaint villa was hidden among the trees.

In Ge Dongxu’s view, that was the best Feng Shui spot in the area and where the spirit energy was most concentrated.
