Apocalyptic Disaster: I Hoard Billions in Supplies and Kill the Saint

13: Chapter 13 Bao Ying Yu XingA black luxury car slowly drove into a vast jade stone trading district.

Compared to last night’s gambling stone market, this place was much more bustling. The three-story exhibition hall was brightly lit, and many jewelers, investors in suits, and even stone gamblers who had come from afar were carefully selecting stones in various raw stone areas.

Compared to the chaotic and gambling nature of the stone gambling market, Baoying Jade Trading House leaned more towards high-end wholesale; many raw stones were supplied directly from mines in Myanmar and Laos.

”At Baoying Jade Trading House, at least 100 million in funds flow through here every day.”

”Those who can enter here are either wealthy or noble; ordinary stone gamblers can’t even touch the threshold.”

”One cut can lead to instant wealth, or it can lead to bankruptcy.”

Ye Nanxing stepped out of the car, looking at the bustling jade stone trading hall before her, her lips curling slightly upward.

If last night’s stone gambling market was just a small trial ground, then this place was a true hunting battlefield!

Chu Yunting walked in front, leading Ye Nanxing directly into the interior of the jade trading house.

A Staff member in the hall noticed him, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately came up respectfully.

”Mr. Chu, why have you come in person?”

Chu Yunting nodded casually and pointed at Ye Nanxing.

”I’ve brought a distinguished guest to select a few suitable raw stones.”

The Staff member glanced at Ye Nanxing, his eyes showing some surprise, but he quickly composed himself and bowed slightly.

”Please follow me, the VIP room is already prepared.”

They were led directly into the VIP room of Baoying Jade Trading House, not the general trading hall.

This was the highest-level area of the entire trading house; only true big buyers or core partners of the jade trading house were qualified to enter!

Ye Nanxing’s eyes flickered; she knew that Chu Yunting’s status here was definitely not low, otherwise he wouldn’t enjoy such high-spec hospitality.

But she was not polite either, walking in generously. After all, the balance in her card was nearly 60 million now, and as long as she wanted, she could double it at any time.

”Since I’m here, I might as well play big!”

Inside the hall, the jade stone display cases were dazzling, with various uncut raw stones placed on specially made display stands. The lights hitting the stone skin made them look particularly mysterious.

Ye Nanxing swept her gaze over them and discovered that the raw stones here were different from those in the stone gambling market; they were more complete and of better quality, with many already having ”windows” opened, revealing a portion of the internal texture and water.

Chu Yunting stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.

”Baoying Jade Trading House is different from ordinary stone gambling markets. Most of the raw stones here are first-hand mineral materials shipped directly from Myanmar and Laos. Real good goods often don’t flow into ordinary markets.”

Ye Nanxing nodded slightly, her eyes quietly observing the surrounding environment, listening to Chu Yunting continue his explanation.

”There are several ways of trading here.”

”The first is the open-window material we see now, which are raw stones that have already had windows opened. The price is high, but the risk is low, suitable for merchants with strong capital.”

”The second is the blind-head material, which are completely unopened raw stones. It all depends on experience to judge. The price ranges from hundreds of thousands to over 100 million, and the risk is extremely high. This is the kind of stone gambling you did yesterday.”

”The third is blind bidding. Ordinary people cannot access this. Some top-tier raw stones will not flow into the market at all, nor will they be sold directly. Instead, buyers bid secretly, and the highest bidder wins.”

He glanced at the people around him, his lips curling slightly.

”Here, there is no real fairness, only capital and information asymmetry.”

Ye Nanxing understood; this was the core essence of the stone gambling market—information asymmetry was the biggest point of profit!

There weren’t many people in the hall, but everyone was either wealthy or noble. The content of their occasional conversations was all about the market, channels, and recent jade stone trends.

”I heard that jade mining in Myanmar’s mining areas has been restricted recently, and prices are going to rise?”

”A rise is certain. If we can’t grab this batch of raw stones from Baoying Jade Trading House, I’m afraid the market will be out of stock for the next half year.”

”Then will the Chu family and the Luo family also be here today?”

”Of course. The two families have been competing for the dominance of the South City jade stone market. Whoever can control the upstream supply chain will be invincible in the stone gambling circle!”

Ye Nanxing’s eyes flickered slightly, and she happened to see a middle-aged man slowly walking into the VIP area.

The man was wearing a dark gray long gown, his expression was steady, and he was followed by several bodyguards, his aura extremely oppressive.

When Chu Yunting saw that person, the smile on his lips faded slightly, and he said in a calm tone.

”Luo Dechuan.”

Ye Nanxing narrowed her eyes and said thoughtfully.

”Your rival?”

Chu Yunting chuckled, his tone carrying a bit of sarcasm.

”I suppose so. He has been operating in the South City jade stone circle for over twenty years, controlling many mid-range jade stone markets, and is also competing for high-end mineral sources.”

Luo Dechuan walked past Chu Yunting, paused slightly, swept his gaze over Ye Nanxing, a trace of scrutiny flashing in his eyes, and then walked away unhurriedly.

Chu Yunting watched his back and said softly.

”He should be here to grab goods today too.”

Ye Nanxing smiled slightly and said softly.

”Then let’s see who can get the best materials.”

The two continued to walk into the exhibition hall. The raw stones around them became larger and larger, and the textures and colors on the skin were more obvious.

Ye Nanxing walked around casually, her fingers sliding lightly over the raw stones one by one. Her thoughts stirred, and she performed a quick scan—

[Bean variety, worthless]

[Glutinous ice variety, market price 3 million, slightly profitable]

[High ice violet variety, market price 15 million, steady profit]

[Glass variety clear water green, market price 40 million, top quality!]

Her steps paused slightly, her fingers landing on that ”glass variety clear water green” stone. She tapped it lightly and said in a calm tone.

”This one.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked over one after another.

”This piece of material looks like it has an ordinary skin, why would she pick this one?”

”Yeah, although there is a bit of pine flower, the cracks are obvious. It doesn’t feel like good material.”

”Could this girl have just picked it randomly?”

”Maybe she’s here to try her luck.”

Ye Nanxing turned a deaf ear to these discussions and just turned her head to look at Chu Yunting.

”Can it be cut?”

Chu Yunting chuckled and signaled the Staff member casually.

”Cut it.”

Although the Staff member was a bit confused, he still nodded and began to operate the cutting machine.

Ye Nanxing was not in a hurry to watch the cutting, but looked at Chu Yunting and spoke calmly.

”Mr. Chu, how do you plan to trade?”

Chu Yunting chuckled.

”How would Miss Ye like to negotiate?”

Ye Nanxing spoke bluntly.

”You provide top-tier raw stone resources, and I will help you select the real good goods. But I don’t want a share of the profits; I just want priority purchasing rights for the raw stones I select.”

Chu Yunting raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly a bit surprised by her conditions.

”You only want priority purchasing rights?”

”That’s right.”

Ye Nanxing chuckled.

”I don’t want to be anyone’s tool; I only make money for myself.”

Chu Yunting looked at her deeply, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slowly.

”Miss Ye, you are indeed interesting.”

He raised his hand and extended his slender palm.

”Happy cooperation.”

Ye Nanxing held it without hesitation.

”Happy cooperation.”

Boom—!

Just at this moment, the roar of the cutting machine stopped, and everyone’s eyes were focused on that raw stone.

The cutting master was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up, his voice trembling.
