After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"I am truly honored that Mr. Ye could come to this meeting."

After exchanging pleasantries and taking their seats, Li Youfu skillfully began to warm the cups, place the tea, and pour water.

After a smooth and flowing tea ceremony performance, it felt as if one was truly there to savor tea and discuss its philosophy.

Ye Tian watched quietly without saying a word.

Li Youfu's face was full of smiles as he talked about everything from the tea plantations and their vintages to the recent fluctuations in the jade market, and then he inquired about Ye Tian's recent troubles.

His words were full of comforting words, implying that he was now attracting attention because of his success and that someone was trying to sabotage him.

After beating around the bush for a good ten minutes, Li Youfu finally steered the conversation towards the main topic. He leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice, and feigned mystery:

"Brother, I'm telling you, in your current situation, just making excuses won't help."

You need to bring out something, and it has to be something impressive, something classy, ​​right?

Ye Tian sighed, taking the opportunity to back down, appearing somewhat tempted yet helpless:

"Boss Li is right. What do you think is something that can command respect in a situation?"

"Hey bro, you have it right now!"

Li Youfu's eyes lit up, as if he had been waiting for these words.

"Brother, isn't there a rumor online that the origin of the priceless jade in your possession is a mystery?"

In our line of work, everyone knows the saying, "A horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without windfall gains."

If your product is good enough, knowledgeable people will naturally vouch for it when you sell it.

If you keep such a good thing in your hands, there will always be people who are envious and try to smear you.

Even if you get your stuff from the black market, as long as it's good enough, people will still fight over it.

do you understand?

Actually, most of the voices online are directed at you personally; not many people care whether the products come from legitimate channels.

If you are willing to sell your top-quality jadeite, those who would buy it will definitely speak up for you.

With respected figures in the jade industry like Chairman Shi and Elder Zhang Shouren now supporting you, what rumors and gossip won't vanish into thin air?

After Li Youfu finished speaking, he looked straight at Ye Tian.

"Boss Li makes a good point. Please allow me to think about it some more."

Ye Tian did all this in order to sell the top-quality jadeite in his possession.

The Chen family's goal was to use public opinion to smear Ye Tian, ​​severely impacting Ye Tian's antique market, Ye Group, and Murong Group, and causing problems with Ye Tian's financial chain.

If Ye Tian's business empire's financial chain runs into problems, he won't have the extra financial resources and energy to compete for that batch of antiques that are worth more than a country.

Ye Tian has the ability to make it impossible for the Chen family to achieve their goals.

But through this incident, Ye Tian realized that the antique and jade circle in Jiangcheng was now a disorganized mess.

Only by getting them on the same boat can we withstand future storms.

What can most quickly bring them to a united front is shared interests.

Ye Tian wanted to use these top-quality jadeite pieces to tell the entire Jiangcheng jade industry that only by cooperating deeply with him could they continue to profit.

But Ye Tian couldn't easily agree to Li Youfu's request at this moment, because no one would cherish something that is easily obtained.

"Boss Ye, what are you still considering? This is the only solution."

Only by turning your troubles into everyone's troubles, and by working together, can we finally shut up those media outlets and clowns.

I know that top-quality jadeite is rare and hard to come by, and Boss Ye is reluctant to part with it because he feels bad about it.

But in the current situation, only when everyone shares the benefits can resources be shared and everyone work together towards the same goal.

If everyone is willing to work together, your troubles will naturally cease to be troubles.

Li Youfu suddenly changed the subject, probing, "Brother Ye, tell me the truth, what grade are your batch of top-quality jadeite?"

Although Li Youfu was greedy for that batch of top-quality jadeite, what he said did make some sense.

Only when everyone's interests are aligned can we work together wholeheartedly and concentrate our efforts in the same direction.

Ye Tian knew that he couldn't appear anxious at this time; he had to remain calm.

He slowly ran his fingers along the rim of the warm teacup, remained silent for a while, and then, as if making up his mind, looked up at Li Youfu.

"Boss Li, the fact that you're telling me all this proves that you genuinely want to help me."

Brother, I will remember this forever.

To be honest, I have several hundred kilograms of top-grade black jade and over a hundred kilograms of top-grade violet...

"What?" Li Youfu's eyes widened suddenly.

"Top-grade violet? And weighing over a hundred pounds?"

That's an even rarer variety than Imperial Green.

In the past, even a machine the size of a football would cost tens of millions.

Your violet jade, the raw stone alone is worth hundreds of millions.

Moreover, there is currently a severe shortage of top-quality jadeite in Jiangcheng. If it were made into high-end jewelry, the price could increase several times over.

Li Youfu was so excited that he danced around, stood up and paced back and forth in the private room, his chubby face filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"I plan to cut the top-grade violet and top-grade black jade into small pieces and sell them."

This way, many people can participate in the bidding, and the financial pressure won't be too great.

Large, top-quality jadeite rough stones can be broken down into smaller pieces. If you know how to cut them, you can sell them for a higher price.

Moreover, the more jade dealers he gets to buy top-quality jadeite rough stones from, the greater his influence will be.

"Okay, it's better to sell them separately, otherwise I'll be a bit short on cash myself."

"There's no time to lose. Let's head to the rough stone storage area now and complete the transaction as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications!"

Such top-quality jadeite rough stones are extremely rare and hard to come by; buying one is a sure win.

As long as Ye Tian is willing to make a move, Li Youfu has no intention of lowering the price.

Because he can buy them and process them into high-end jewelry, which would yield several times the profit.

"So urgent? Okay, then you can inform your friends."

Two hours later, a top-quality jadeite rough stone will be auctioned at the antique market.

Ye Tian spoke calmly.

"Boss Ye, how did you know I came here on behalf of a group of friends to discuss cooperation with you?"

"And not just my own idea?" Li Youfu's expression froze, and he asked with a look of surprise.

"I saw the electronic recorder you put in the room beforehand."

The reason I didn't expose you the moment we met is because I wanted to know what your true purpose was.

Now it seems that you just wanted to buy the top-quality jadeite rough in my hand, and you were afraid that I would disagree, so you kept a backup plan, right?

Mr. Li, this isn't the first time we've dealt with each other.

Next time, just tell me directly if there's anything you need. Don't go through all this messy stuff.

"As long as you always stand with me, I guarantee you'll have endless wealth."

Ye Tian's expression remained calm, and his tone was unperturbed.

But when Li Youfu heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He bought the equipment from top-notch listening experts, and the place where he installed the electronic recorder was so well hidden that no one could possibly find it.

As it turned out, Ye Tian still managed to find out.

Li Youfu didn't know how Ye Tian had done it, but at this moment, Ye Tian gave him the feeling of being unfathomable, even more so than any of the big shots he had met in his decades of business.

"Boss Ye, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had such thoughts."

I'm completely convinced of your authority today. Rest assured, from now on, I, Li Youfu, will absolutely follow your lead.

And I guarantee there will absolutely not be a next time. If there is, you may kill or torture me as you please.

I will destroy this recording immediately and guarantee that not a single word will be leaked.

Li Youfu bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle to apologize, his attitude extremely sincere.

Then he hurriedly dug out the electronic recorder and smashed it to pieces in front of Ye Tian.

Just as Li Youfu took out a lighter, preparing to burn the broken electronic recorder and the memory card inside, he was about to...

Ye Tian stretched out a hand and gently lifted it upwards, and the electronic recorder and memory card on the ground miraculously floated up.

Li Youfu witnessed Ye Tian snap his fingers lightly, and the electronic recorder and memory card floating in mid-air spontaneously combusted.

In the blink of an eye, it had been burned to ashes!

"I believe you, see you at the antique market later!"

Ye Tian patted Li Youfu on the shoulder and walked out first.

After watching Ye Tian leave respectfully, Li Youfu was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, covered in cold sweat and panting heavily.

He only knew that Ye Tianjian's treasure-appreciation abilities were extraordinary, but he never knew that he also had this unpredictable skill.

If he had known earlier, Li Youfu would never have dared to do anything underhanded in front of Ye Tian.
