Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Story of the Chaebol

Assistant Xiaoer was very quick. Sun Tong and Xiaoer had just finished lunch when the assistant led a few people to Sun Tong's house.

"Mr. Sun, we can start now."

"No problem, please take a look."

This time, Sun Tong took out a total of thirteen gems.

If we classify the batch of gems that Sun Tong bought before traveling through time, then we can divide them into three grades.

Sun Tong didn't have many of the top-grade gems, only twenty in total. All of these twenty gems were over fifty carats. Even though these gems were man-made, the price was not low when Sun Tong bought them.

The second tier is ten to fifty carats. The number of gemstones in this tier is relatively larger, about three hundred or so. What Sun Tong took out this time was the extra pieces from this tier.

As for the last tier, which is three to ten carats, the price of this tier of artificial gemstones is relatively much cheaper, so Sun Tong directly bought more than two thousand of them.

This transaction is just a drop in the ocean. You should know that although the gems Sun Tong took out this time are all second-tier, there are still four of them weighing more than 40 carats. Such gems are very valuable no matter when they are placed.

"It's really beautiful, especially this pigeon blood red. Not only is its clarity grade one, but its weight is definitely over 40 carats. It's really rare in the world."

Hearing this, Sun Tong's heart was filled with joy.

Aren’t gems of this level rare?

If you compare naturally formed gemstones with artificially made ones, the difference in purity is naturally huge.

However, what makes Sun Tong happiest is that the more these experts praise this batch of gems, the more confident Sun Tong will be in the next transaction. Anyway, he has the upper hand over Xiao Er.

"We have appraised them, Mr. Shaw, and can confirm that these are top-grade gemstones!"

Even though Xiao Er had already sold these appraisers a thousand times in his heart, he still had a smile on his face.

No matter what, as long as he can take over this batch of gems, he will make a profit, it's just a matter of how much.

He gathered these appraisers around, and then several people quietly discussed the value of this batch of gems.

"Mr. Shaw, the value of this batch of gems is inestimable. The price of the pigeon blood ruby ​​alone is definitely more than 10 million francs. The other 12 gems are all top-quality. So we can't give you an accurate number for the price. But I think Mr. Sun on the other side should have a rough idea of ​​the value of the gems in his hand. So if the price you offer is too low, this deal is likely to fall through. After discussion among several of us, the final offer is 20 million francs. As long as the purchase price does not exceed this price, we will definitely make a profit!"

"Twenty million francs?"

From the looks of these appraisers, Shore knew that the value of the gems in front of him must be very high, but he was still shocked when he heard the offer of 20 million francs.

"Yes, if we can really buy these gems at this price, after returning to Europe, we only need to hype them up a bit, and these gems can make us at least 10 million!"

This group of appraisers may not understand other things, but they have a very thorough understanding of the gem market. Although the batch of gems in Sun Tong's hands have been cut, they have not yet been made into jewelry. This provides room for jewelers to operate.

"Okay, I see."

After learning the approximate price of this batch of gems, it was his turn to come on stage.

"Mr. Sun, our Aquitaine Company is going to buy all of these gemstones. So I wonder what your psychological expectation is for the price of these gemstones?"

Xiao Er wanted Sun Tong to make an offer first, naturally because he wanted to take a gamble that Sun Tong didn't know the value of this batch of gems. If Sun Tong's offer was low, then he would have room for maneuver.

Things turned out just as Xiao Er had thought. Sun Tong did not know the specific value of this batch of gems, but before traveling through time, he had also looked up the prices of gems during this period. The thirteen gems he took out this time were definitely the most powerful in this era, so he naturally would not offer too low a price.

"One hundred thousand francs!"

"Impossible, Mr. Sun, the price you offer is too high. We absolutely cannot accept this price."

The quote Sun Tong gave was actually a random one based on the information he had previously learned, but what he didn't expect was that his quote hit Shor's aorta precisely.

"Mr. Shaw, don't be impatient. Negotiations are a process of give and take. Since you can't accept the price I offered, Mr. Shaw, how about taking a look at your offer?"

"How about 1500 million francs?"

"This price is too low. How about this, 2000 million francs, this is my final offer. If it's lower than this price, then I think there's no need for us to talk!"

Sun Tong was too lazy to haggle any more, so he directly lowered the price to 2000 million francs.

But what he didn't know was that the price he offered just hit the final psychological price of Shore and others. This way of quoting also made Shore lose the room for maneuver.

"Okay, let's make the deal at this price!"

Things have come to this point, what else can Xiao Er say? At this moment, apart from regretting that he had handed over the initiative of the negotiation to Sun Tong, he didn't have any other thoughts.

If 2000 million francs were converted into pounds, it would be worth about 80 pounds. Previously, when selling the printing factory's equipment, Shore had already made a fortune from Sun Tong. Now, if he deducted the pounds from this transaction, he would still make a profit.
