Chapter 560: Easygoing Transaction

Liang Rong blinked his eyes and said, "Young Master Wu, I didn't expect you to come in a Rolls-Royce."

"Sorry for being abrupt."

"I actually arranged to meet you at a breakfast shop, hoping it won't affect our upcoming discussion of a multi-million deal."

Wu An became even more confused.

"What a mess."

"No, you had your bodyguard invite me, right?"

Although puzzled, he still went along with Liang Rong, half-jokingly saying: "Eh."

"What's the big deal?"

"I've always been approachable."

"Then."

His phone vibrated; he glanced at it and saw a message from Liang Rong explaining what had just happened.

Wu An suddenly understood.

Liang Rong is actually a nice guy; he even helped him show off in front of others.

Liu Wanwan slammed the table and shouted sharply, "Hey, Wu An, what are you pretending?"

"This is your classmate, this is someone from your village."

"Others may not know, but don't we know your situation?"

"Outsider, don't be fooled by him; he's just a fisherman."

"Young Master Wu, they actually thought I didn't know you were a fisherman, hehe." Liang Rong smiled at Wu An, glanced at Liu Wanwan, and unleashed his big move: "Frankly, this multi-million deal is exactly what I want to discuss with a fisherman."

Wu An took out a Beautiful Joy Pearl.

Gao Qiangqi had one; he gave one each to his older sister-in-law and Gu Anran, leaving two, which he intended to sell both to Liang Rong.

He kept none for himself.

He and Anran will be family from now on, so there's no need to be so particular about dividing things.

Moreover.

Beautiful Joy Pearls are indeed rare, but there should be plenty of them in the sea.

However, very few people have such good luck to obtain a Beautiful Joy Pearl.

He's using a cheat, so he will definitely have more chances to get Beautiful Joy Pearls in the future.

For him,

Now accumulating startup funds is the most important thing; don't look at him having a few million in hand, which is a lot for ordinary people and even enough to live off.

But for what he wants to do next, it's still far from enough; to put it bluntly, it's just a drop in the bucket.

Not mentioning anything else.

A 70-80 meter ocean-going fishing vessel costs tens of millions to build.

Once an order is placed, it means he now has to invest all the money he has on hand.

Furthermore, the investments he plans to make in the village going forward are actually heavy-asset projects.

Without sufficient funds invested, it can't be done well; even if done reluctantly, it would only be half-hearted.

For a cheater, this is absolutely intolerable.

He doesn't want to become the disgrace of reincarnators.

Liang Rong took a napkin to wipe his hands, then took some Beautiful Joy Pearls from the box and started playing with them.

He's not really a professional; bluntly put, he's just a hobbyist.

He rubbed it in his hand, then brought it up to his eyes for a careful examination.

Wu An asked, "Did you figure out what it is?"

Liang Rong coughed; although he was embarrassed to admit he hadn't seen anything, he solemnly nodded: "The quality is not bad."

"Saying it's top-notch is not an exaggeration."

"The actual object looks far more beautiful than in the video."

"You can hardly find anything better than these two pearls on the market."

What he said wasn't an exaggeration.

Because Beautiful Joy Pearls are hardly circulated on the market now; when they occasionally appear at auctions, they are snatched up frenziedly.

Hearing his praise, Wu An asked, "How much?"

Liang Rong frowned slightly: "A An, we're friends; let me be frank—honestly, I really can't say how much these two pearls could sell for."

Wu An nodded.

Liang Rong continued: "A few years ago, there was an auction in Gang Cheng; I went too, and coincidentally they auctioned a pearl about the same size as yours. I recall the transaction price was around 2.7 million."

Wu An wasn't surprised; nowadays it's not like before, the internet is well-developed, and he has also searched online for plenty of information about Beautiful Joy Pearl auctions.

There are high and low prices.

Genuine and fake.

To be honest, no one can be certain.

What Liang Rong said is still highly credible.

Wu An remained relatively calm, while Liu Wanwan and the four others beside him were as if struck by lightning.

Especially Liu Wanwan; seeing Wu An's Beautiful Joy Pearl that could sell for over two million was almost harder for her to accept than if her parents had died.

Liang Rong tentatively asked: "A An, between us friends doing a private transaction, how about 2.7 million per pearl?"

"'Young Master Liang, I certainly have no problem.' Wu An paused, then said solemnly: 'But you also said it's a private transaction; I have no appraisal certificate, so it's just cash in hand, pearl in hand, with no after-sales guarantee.'"

"'Haha, you really like to joke; I never ask for after-sales guarantee when I buy things.' Liang Rong laughed heartily, then added: 'As long as you think it's suitable, that's fine. To be honest, Beautiful Joy Pearls are uncommon; if you send them to an auction house, you might get an even higher price.'"

"I got the biggest bargain."

Wu An smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, anyone who dares to cheat you, Liang San Shao, will naturally have someone to handle the after‑sales.

Liang Rong took out his phone and made a call.

It didn't take long.

Wu An's phone rang once here, a bank SMS notification.

5.4 million was credited.

Wu An was quite pleased; although he didn't go to sea, the incoming money was truly substantial.

According to the previous agreement.

A Qing, Mei Wu and Lao Fu Tou each got ten percent; based on 2.7 million per Meile Pearl, five pearls total 13.5 million, each receiving 1.35 million.

The 5.4 million, after being divided among the three, left exactly 1.35 million.

As for Qiang Ge's pearl, just take a few hundred thousand at will later.

The transaction was completed.

Wu An asked, "Do you still want to eat?"

Liang Rong put the box away into his bag, shook his head and said, "No, I'd like to sit in your Rolls‑Royce."

When he arrived at Shen Nan's table, he stopped in his tracks and said, "How many of you?"

"Don't look down on the fishermen."

"The money they earn casually might be more than you could ever make in a lifetime."

"A Rolls‑Royce is nothing compared to a few pearls."

After speaking, he let out a light laugh and continued walking out.

Liang Rong's words were actually without any flaw.

Truly not bragging.

It's a fact.

Wu An added, "Don't listen to his nonsense; he's an outsider who knows nothing. Which of the fishermen here who go out to sea isn't hardworking?"

"They come with the wind and go with the waves."

"Earning a bit of money isn't easy."

Cao Zhiqiang gave an envious wry smile and said, "A An, stop being modest."

"Over five million!"

"In my whole life, even if I ate nothing and drank nothing, I might still not earn that much!"

Shen Nan suddenly spoke, his face beaming, and said, "Brother Liang, your words shake the deaf and the mute; I'm taught, I'm taught."

"A An and I have been childhood friends."

"My name is Shen Nan, I just invested in a small project in the village."

Liang Rong, a bit surprised, turned his head, smiled and said, "You've misunderstood; I wasn't joking earlier, I was helping Wu An step on you."

After speaking, he walked out without looking back.

A Qin stood by the car and opened the door.

Then he hurried to the other side, opened that door, and, facing Wu An, sat inside.

Finally, with a disdainful glance at Shen Nan and the three others, he opened the driver's door, sat down, and soon the Rolls‑Royce started and sped away.
