The strongest shopkeeper

Chapter 4 Rental Diamonds
Jiang Kun was overjoyed to get a large diamond weighing nearly one catty, and immediately opened six rooms for Dre and the others.

What he wants to do most now is to sell this diamond, exchange for some money, and solve the urgent need.

"Let's go, let's go to the jewelry store in the city center to exchange some money, and then have a big meal." Jiang Kun said to Ye Gucheng and Ximen.

When the two heard that they had something to eat, they were equally excited and followed Jiang Kun out the door.

The three of them had no money and were unable to take a taxi, so they walked for more than an hour to the city.Unlike the urban-rural fringe where Hotel No. 81 is located, the urban area is extremely bustling and lively, with many shops and people coming and going.

Countless high-rise buildings, dazzling neon lights, and layers of billboards are the scene that an international metropolis should have.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen looked at the surrounding environment curiously. They didn't know much about modern society. Compared with the era they lived in, all this was incredible.

Jiang Kun used his mobile phone to search for nearby jewelry stores. The largest jewelry store around was Huangcheng Jewelry Store, which was in the next street.

The three of them walked around to a side street and stood in front of Huangcheng Jewelry Store. There were two large stone lions over three meters high at the entrance. The imposing gate had indescribable luxury.

Jiang Kun is a person who has seen the big world, so he is not surprised by this, but Ye Gucheng and Ximen are like bumpkins entering the city, looking around and looking at all kinds of novel things.

"Just follow me, don't make a fool of yourself." Jiang Kun said to the two.

The two of them didn't speak, they withdrew their gazes from looking around, straightened their backs, and stood behind Jiang Kun like his bodyguards.

Seeing that Jiang Kun was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, the security at the gate did not stop him. However, Ye Gucheng and Ximen were dressed in ancient costumes and had waist-length long hair.

"You two killers are not allowed to go in." The security guard said to Ye Gucheng and Ximen.

"Brother Security, they are my bodyguards. Although their appearance is a bit sharp, they are definitely not bad guys." Jiang Kun explained with a smile.

Seeing that Jiang Kun was smiling and had a good attitude, the security guard waved his hand and let them in without saying anything.Most of the people who come here are dignitaries and wealthy people who look down on the low-status security guards. There are very few people with a kind attitude like Jiang Kun.

"Boss, we can easily kill those security guards, just break in." Ye Gucheng said to Jiang Kun.

Just now the security guard looked at him, as if he saw something different, which made him quite upset.

"I'm a cultural person, an intellectual, how can I be violent? It's better not to do things that can be solved with my mouth." Jiang Kun explained, "My principle is that a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands. Beat like a dog."

Ha ha!

Ye Gucheng and Ximen laughed. The boss looked gentle on the surface, but deep down he must be a violent maniac.

The lobby on the first floor of the jewelry store is full of glass showcases. Many wealthy people from Chongjiang City come here to shop, mainly middle-aged women.

Jiang Kun approached the staff of Huangcheng Jewelry Store and explained to him the purpose of his visit. The staff took the three of them to the elevator and went up to the [-]th floor, which is a place dedicated to buying jewelry.

A group of people walked into a room, which was filled with all kinds of jewels, full of jewels and embarrassment.At the desk, a middle-aged man was appraising jewelry with a magnifying glass.

"Director Liu, someone is here to sell jewelry." The staff asked cautiously in a low tone.This man is a master in the jewelry industry, even the owner of the Huangcheng Jewelry Store has to be courteous.

Director Liu ignored them, still holding the magnifying glass, looking at the things in his hands carefully and attentively.

"Director Liu, someone is here to sell jewelry." The staff asked again.

"Go out and wait. I am appreciating a rare pearl that is rare in a hundred years. I am busy." Director Liu said impatiently.This pearl is really rare. A person like him who has been in the jewelry business for decades has never seen it a few times.

The staff turned to look at Jiang Kun, with a slightly embarrassed face, and waved, signaling them to go out and wait, the master has such a temper.

Wait until Director Liu finishes appreciating the pearl before coming in.

Jiang Kun smiled, walked directly in front of Director Liu, threw the cloth bag in his hand on the table, and said, "Director Liu, look at this."

"Didn't I ask you to go out and wait?" Director Liu stared at Jiang Kun and said rather angrily.

"Don't be angry, read it before you talk." Jiang Kun said.

Director Liu glanced at Jiang Kun suspiciously, took the cloth bag on the table, opened it, and was shocked immediately, because he had never seen such a big diamond.

"How?" Jiang Kun asked.

"This diamond is too big! If it is real, it will definitely rank among the top ten in the world." Director Liu couldn't help but marvel.

Generally, a diamond the size of a pigeon egg is already very valuable, but Jiang Kun's diamond is the size of a tennis ball. Why isn't it surprising?
Director Liu immediately threw the pearl aside, and carefully studied Jiang Kun's oversized diamond.After more than ten minutes, joy gradually appeared on that serious face, and finally turned into ecstasy.

He exclaimed: "Sir, your diamond is pure and flawless, it weighs 496 carats, and it is spherical, easy to cut and polish, it is simply perfect. It is a treasure among treasures, a rare treasure that is rare in a thousand years."

When Jiang Kun heard Director Liu's evaluation, he was also a little surprised that a diamond that Dre picked up at random would be so precious.

"I heard that you want to sell this diamond? To be honest, this item is a priceless treasure, and our Royal Jewelry Store can't afford it." Director Liu said with a wry smile.

"I'm short of money, how about I give you a discount and sell it to you for [-] million dollars?" Jiang Kun said.Even if it is a priceless treasure, you can't eat it if you keep it. It is more practical to sell it and exchange it for banknotes.

"[-] million US dollars? Our jewelry store really can't afford this price." Director Liu said, "But I have a solution that can solve your problem."

"any solution?"

"You can store your diamonds in our jewelry store for exhibition, and our jewelry store will pay you rent every year."

Director Liu has his own plan in mind, as long as he can rent this super-large diamond and display it as a treasure of the town store, he will be able to attract more customers and increase the popularity of Huangcheng Jewelry.

Even if you can't afford it, you can still get a lot of benefits.

"Well, how much rent do you give me every year?" Jiang Kun asked.

"500 million, how about it?" Director Liu opened his palm and drew a five.

Jiang Kun was so happy that he didn't even bother to bargain with Director Liu, so he agreed directly.

Seeing that Jiang Kun agreed, Director Liu was also very happy, and then said, "You are the owner of the diamond. Give it a name. It will be more convenient for us to exhibit."

World-class precious jewelry has a name, Jiang Kun thought for a while and said, "Let's call it Starlight."

This diamond was brought back from outer space, but it is actually a meteorite, called Starlight, which is pretty good.

"Okay, I'll have someone write you a check for 500 million."
