Chapter 130 I want this, and this... never mind, I'll take them all!
There were only 23 pieces of top-tier jade in the entire private vault, and none of them were very large.
It was completely different from what Ling Yue had imagined.
Next, they looked at the Second Tier materials, with prices ranging from several million to ten million yuan.
Individually, they were stunning and quite pleasing to the eye.
One could only say that comparison is the thief of joy.
Compared to the top-tier materials, they were instantly eclipsed and paled in comparison.
Finally, they looked at the Third Tier.
This tier had the largest quantity and decent quality, but the transparency and color were far inferior. While they could easily sell for hundreds of thousands or even a million yuan outside, the contrast here was so tragic that Ling Yue had absolutely no desire to buy them.
Yu Shuo gave Ling Yue a few dozen seconds to think.
Seeing a look of determination in Ling Yue's eyes, she took the initiative to ask, "Miss Ling, which materials have you set your sights on? I will immediately arrange for staff to release them from storage for you."
It just so happens that I've also invited the company's designers over. If you have time, we can go upstairs to discuss the designs right after you purchase the materials."
She was certainly well-prepared.
It coincided perfectly with Ling Yue's own plans.
One could only say that whether it was cooperation or a transaction, working with efficient people was indeed relatively easy.
She swept her finger across the display case. "According to your classification, I'll take all the jade in the first and Second Tiers."
Yu Shuo: ???!!!
She hadn't misheard, had she?
"You... you want them all?" Yu Shuo couldn't help but confirm instinctively.
Top-tier jade was incredibly valuable. Even if the Kan Family came, they would take two pieces at most!
It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, but rather that mobilizing over a hundred million in cash flow was quite troublesome.
Ling Yue was used to the expression of someone being shocked.
She nodded slightly and said, "Let's hurry up. I want to complete the first batch of jewelry before October."
Yu Shuo took a deep breath. "Alright!"
In the span of two sentences, she finally managed to calm herself down.
She patted the shoulder of the staff member who was still immersed in surprise and told her, "Release all the materials Miss Ling wants and bring them to Meeting Room 4 on the second floor."
Ling Yue had Cheng Jiao stay behind to supervise the entire process.
Meeting Room 4.
The receptionist was about to pour tea for Ling Yue, but Yu Shuo quickly stopped her. Then, she took out a small red iron box from her handbag.
She then explained to Ling Yue:
"At my aunt's birthday banquet yesterday, I noticed Miss Ling really enjoyed a certain flower tea. Since my aunt still had some at home, I was bold enough to ask for it."
"Miss Yu is very thoughtful." Truth be told, being served by someone with such high EQ was truly comfortable.
Shortly after they sat down, the quotation list was brought in by a staff member.
Seeing the numbers on the final row, Yu Shuo gasped inwardly.
Once the staff had brought all the materials to the meeting room and arranged them on the table, Yu Shuo once again explained the price, origin, and appraisal report of each product to Ling Yue.
Finally, she gave the quote: "There are a total of 23 pieces of jade in the First Tier, including 20 slabs and 3 finished pieces, for a total price of 623.76 million yuan.
There are a total of 186 pieces of jade in the Second Tier, including 171 slabs and 15 finished pieces, for a total price of 662 million yuan.
The total for both tiers is 1.28576 billion yuan."
Yu Shuo's voice was trembling.
Last year, the total revenue for the company's private custom sector was only 1.783 billion.
This year, Ling Yue alone had contributed nearly 1.3 billion!
This meant that this year's private custom sector would very likely break all previous revenue records!!
Yu Shuo was so joyful her heart felt heavy with emotion.
As long as the transaction was successful, Ling Yue would instantly become the highest-spending VIP among the company's clients to date.
As for herself, she would benefit even more!
The uncles on the board of directors would immediately appoint her to a core position with actual power!
As long as she maintained a major client of Ling Yue's caliber, her influence within the company would only grow.
It was equivalent to needing to walk 100 steps to establish a firm foothold in the company.
She currently had one foot in the door, barely hanging onto a passing grade of 60.
Securing this cooperation with Ling Yue was like taking a giant leap of 30 steps, reaching 90 and entering the ranks of excellence!
How could Yu Shuo not be excited?
Ling Yue cleared her throat, bringing the red-eyed Yu Shuo back to her senses.
"Miss Ling, how would you like to arrange things next?" Yu Shuo coughed lightly, suppressing her emotions.
Ling Yue arranged: "For the 20 jade slabs in the First Tier, I want to have them made into finished products first. You can have the designers come in now.
As for all the jade in the Second Tier, have it delivered to my home."
Then she looked at Cheng Jiao. "Contact the bank regarding the payment and the delivery."
"Understood!" Cheng Jiao went out to make the call.
At the same time, Yu Shuo also sent a message to the designers.
Seeing her put down her phone, Ling Yue added, "Let's calculate the design and processing fees together; I might as well pay for everything at once."
Yu Shuo said, "Our processing fees are assessed based on the complexity of the design. Generally, a deposit is paid first, and the balance is settled upon delivery.
Since you have... quite a large quantity... how about this: you only need to pay for the materials now. The design fees can be paid all at once when the finished products are delivered."
Ling Yue: "Very well, go prepare the account to receive the funds."
Yu Shuo had the staff immediately go to assist Cheng Jiao.
Seeing them busy, Ling Yue sat down and looked at her phone.
She had recently discovered something very interesting.
The lottery screen could change size based on the object her gaze was locked onto.
For example, she was currently staring at her phone.
She silently chanted in her mind: Lottery.
The lottery page then appeared the same size as her phone.
All those 'bathroom summons' were for nothing after all!
At this very moment.
Ling Yue appeared to be tapping on her phone, but she was actually clicking the lottery button that only she could see on the screen.
As expected.
It was [2x Cashback] again.
A moment later, Cheng Jiao returned.
Based on Ling Yue's Red Card status, the bank quickly approved the application.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
[Bank card ending in 4456 transferred 1,285,760,000 yuan to another account on May 16th at 10:22. Balance: 30,514,240,000 yuan.]
[Bank card ending in 4456 received a transfer of 2,571,520,000 yuan on May 16th at 10:22. Balance: 33,085,760,000 yuan.]
[Lottery attempts: 17]
*Knock, knock, knock.*
Yu Shuo: "Enter."
Two female designers arrived.
One was 60 years old, the other 35.
"These two are currently the best designers in our company. The elder designer specializes in classical and elegant styles, while the younger one excels at innovative fashion."
As Yu Shuo finished speaking, both designers approached Ling Yue and presented their past design portfolios.
All the portfolios provided a comprehensive display from sketches to finished products. Each piece was a unique design, such that there were no repetitions at all.
"This one..." Ling Yue saw a Lavender Jade necklace in the elder designer's portfolio. "It feels so familiar."
Yu Shuo leaned over to take a look and said, "Someone wore it at the banquet yesterday."
Ling Yue remembered.
That piece of jade was so large back then; she had taken a liking to it at first glance!
Ling Yue roughly finished flipping through the portfolios and began a heated discussion with the two designers.
That top-tier Yellow Jade slab would be made into a bracelet, and the remaining material could still make a three-piece set of earrings, a ring, and a necklace.
A long piece of Imperial Green jade worth 26 million yuan that she bought later could just happen to be made into a personal seal. Her name could be carved on the bottom, with carvings on the sides. It would be so prestigious to pull it out and stamp documents when signing contracts!
That pigeon-egg-sized Imperial Green jade would be made into a ring. It had to be surrounded by diamonds; the jade was large, and the diamonds were sparkling!
Ling Yue finally understood why everyone loved pigeon eggs—because they were big!
Just thinking about it made her happy.
There were also two pieces of top-tier Red Jade; one would be a jade pendant, and the other a bracelet...
...
As Ling Yue made arrangements, the designers took notes beside her.
The conversation in the meeting room was lively.
Hurried footsteps also sounded outside the meeting room.
Huang Jingluo, who had been called away, finally rushed back after dealing with his business.
He pushed the door open, so anxious that he even forgot to knock.
Only after bursting in and finding the room silent, with everyone staring at him, did he realize his own rashness.
"I'm glad you haven't left yet, Miss Ling. I hurried back as fast as I could, fearing I'd be late." Huang Jingluo didn't seem to think he had offended anyone. He unbuttoned one button of his suit jacket and walked over to sit in the seat below Ling Yue.
"How is the progress?" He asked Yu Shuo with the posture of a host.
Yu Shuo remained silent.
Seeing this, the younger designer said, "We are currently selecting preferred styles."
"You're already discussing designs?" Huang Jingluo's eyes widened in surprise.
Wasn't this a stage that could only happen after the slabs were paid for?
So fast—the money had already been paid?!
Then wouldn't this commission be credited to Yu Shuo?
Damn it!
This vile woman had actually conspired with the shareholders to lure him away. She was full of schemes and far too calculating!
Heh.
It was just one order; there was no need to be petty. He'd let her have it this time.
After all, he was generous.
"Madam, I'm sorry, the meeting room is occupied. Madam, you cannot go in!"
"Move!"
"Madam, you cannot go in!"
A sudden argument broke out outside the door again.
The glass door wasn't soundproof, so Ling Yue heard every word.
