Therefore, people were used to dealing with the spoils of war in their backpacks after the battle. They had to manage the space.

Passing through the bustling street, Lin Xiu returned to the trading market he went to yesterday.

Perhaps because it was noon, there were not many people in the stalls and some shops in the trading market.

Finding the only gold exchange shop in the market, Lin Xiu chose to exchange all 76 gold coins he had obtained from farming monsters.

Looking at the deposit message prompt on his phone, after transferring 15,000R in cash, the deposit in Lin Xiu’s bank card had already reached more than 20,000R.

“Is there anything else I can help you with?”

On the other side of the special glass, the bank staff immediately asked politely after seeing that the customer had no intention of leaving.

“I should be able to exchange my ores here, right”

Lin Xiu took out a piece of flawless jade that weighed more than ten grams from his backpack and asked tentatively.

“Umm… Yes, but to recover such expensive ores, our manager will have to negotiate personally. Please wait a moment.”

The staff member did not expect that the seemingly young customer across the glass would actually be able to take out such a high-purity Flawless Jade. While she was panicking, she immediately stood up and walked towards the office behind the counter.

Lin Xiu waited patiently for a few minutes. After a while, he saw a woman in a plain cheongsam with an excellent figure walk out.

Judging from the badge on her chest, she should be the manager of this bank.

“Manager Chen, this is the VIP I told you about earlier. He’s the one who wants to sell the Flawless Jade.”

The staff member who had served Lin Xiu earlier immediately introduced him.

“Understood. You can go back to work.”

After sending the attendant away, Manager Chen immediately nodded politely at Lin Xiu.

“Sir, there are too many people here. Please come to the lounge for a chat.”

Lin Xiu did not refuse. Under the manager’s lead, he walked into the lounge.

Sweeping a glance at the uniquely styled lounge, Lin Xiu immediately sat down at the negotiation table at the side.

“Sir, can you take out the jade stone and let me take a look?” Manager Chen asked politely. She did not dare to neglect the young guest in front of her.

“No problem.”

Lin Xiu directly placed a dozen grams of Flawless Jade on the table, not worried at all that the other party would pick it up.

Manager Chen carefully picked up the transparent and pure jade and observed it under natural light for a while.

“Sir, your jade is extremely pure and the energy inside is rich and stable. If you’re willing to sell all of it, we can offer you a maximum price of 1800R per gram.”

After she finished speaking, Manager Chen immediately observed the other party’s expression, wanting to know if this young customer was satisfied with her offer.

However, her plan was destined to fail. After the young customer heard Manager Chen’s offer, his expression did not change at all.

“Looks like your esteemed bank doesn’t intend to carry out this transaction.”

A few seconds later, Lin Xiu slowly straightened up. He gently stroked his palm, and the jade on the table immediately disappeared.

Seeing that the other party actually intended to terminate this transaction, Manager Chen could not help but feel a little anxious.

Most of the daily business in the trade was to exchange gold coins and the like. There was not even a single mortgage loan for all kinds of equipment and rare materials.

It was not easy to get a slightly higher transaction today, but seeing that it was about to fail, Manager Chen could not hold it in anymore.

“Sir, we can discuss the price. I can increase it by 150R on top of 1800R per gram, which is 1950R per gram, how about it?”

Faced with Manager Chen’s urging to stay, Lin Xiu immediately stopped in his tracks.

“Regarding the price, I’ll only say it once. 2100R per gram…How about it?”

Lin Xiu knew that after this kind of ore-type material was made into inlaid gems or accessories, there was a lot of room for the price to rise.

If he did not need some cash to maintain the family’s operations, Lin Xiu would have wanted to keep these jade stones as materials for forging equipment in the future.

After all, jade of this purity was rarely seen on the market. Whether it was collected or carved into jewelry, the price would rise.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to sell 40 grams of it.

As for the remaining 77 grams, Lin Xiu used it as the main material for jewelry and gemstones.

His gaze was indifferent and his tone was extremely calm, as if he was not in a hurry to sell it.

Seeing this scene, Manager Chen could not help but mutter in her heart, ‘Who said that it is easier to earn money from young people? This customer in front of me is more cunning than most middle-aged bosses. He’s simply an old fox.’

The reason why she thought this way was because the price Lin Xiu offered was completely stuck at the limit of her psychological expectations.

Although the profit of jade ores was very high, the production process also required manpower, material resources, and a certain amount of liquid funds.

If the profit was less than 50 percent, there was no need to do anything.

However, Lin Xiu’s offer just happened to be stuck at this position, so Manager Chen was in a dilemma.

After thinking for a few seconds, she had an answer in her heart.

Manager Chen immediately stood up and said earnestly, “Sir, you’re really a shrewd businessman. Although this price is higher than I expected, in order to make friends with you, we’re willing to give up some profits.”

After saying that, she took the initiative to initiate a face-to-face transaction with the customer.

Lin Xiu saw that the other party had agreed to the price he had proposed, so he put all 40 grams of jade stones into the trading column.

Manager Chen, who was in front of him, was obviously stunned. The surprise on her pretty face was beyond words.

40 grams of jade could be used to make a large gemstone necklace, and its value would definitely increase.

However, Manager Chen was a little puzzled. How did the young man in front of him obtain these primitive jade stones?

After the initial shock, she immediately made up the remaining price difference.

40 grams of Flawless Jade, the total recovery amount was: 84,000R.

After confirming that everything was fine, Lin Xiu immediately pressed the trade button.

Manager Chen had already become the new owner of the 40 grams of jade, and Lin Xiu had also received the payment from the bank card.

“Happy cooperation!” the corners of Lin Xiu’s mouth curled up slightly as he immediately said with a smile.

“It’s our honor to work with a successful person like you,” Manager Chen said respectfully as if she was treading on thin ice. Then, she immediately handed a golden membership card to the customer in front of her.

“This is our Linyue Bank’s membership card. You can enjoy 1.2 times the recovery price and all kinds of services provided by our bank. You are welcome to our bank anytime.”

Seeing Manager Chen’s obvious gesture of goodwill, Lin Xiu smiled and kept the card.

Although he did not want to get involved with any random people, banks were state-owned institutions and would not be as chaotic as private enterprises.

Not to mention that Class-holders had strict requirements for gold coins exchange and material recycling. Becoming a member of Linyue Bank would definitely provide a lot of convenience for his future life.

After all, the 1.2 times recovery price could increase his future income by a lot. This could also delay the decline of his family!
