Imperial Treasure

Chapter 509 - 335 Rainy Day

Chapter 335

"No rush,"

Sui Yi contacted Yang Gaodan and after talking for a while, she hung up the phone and said, "The jade mine has already produced a portion worth about three hundred million dollars. We’ll first transfer the four billion in funds from Sui Tang Square into these companies for operations, to sustain them for a while. By then, Sui Tang Square should be able to absorb these jades... If the extraction at the jade mine goes smoothly, three rounds of sales should cover these companies’ financial gaps. That’s how we’ll handle the financial issues. As for the commercial operations, I’m not well-versed in that; you two will have full control."

What Sui Yi meant was that she would only act as the main shareholder and the actual authority in operations would be left to these two who already had experience with their own companies.

Gong Jiu said, "I’m not doing it, I’m swamped with just one company, and I don’t even have time to go grave-robbing,"

Flower Demon said, "I’m not doing it either. Haven’t you all noticed that I’ve become much more haggard recently?"

Sui Yi said, "..."

All three looked towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Don’t look at me, I really don’t understand this area, and I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in three days,"

So, there was no choice but to find an international manager to handle the management...

Since things were settled, Sui Yi, after finishing her college entrance exams, returned to her leisurely days of practicing swordsmanship, reading books, writing, occasionally meeting up with friends for tea, strolling around the nearby mountains and waters, and collecting some antiques, all very at ease.

Ah Guna also accompanied her, and at first glance, he seemed to have forgotten the hatred of his clan’s annihilation, but Gong Jiu reminded Sui Yi that this person might be looking for an opportunity...

Either to kill Sui Yi or to determine whether Sui Yi was indeed the murderer, either case proved this person had inscrutable intentions.

Sui Yi just smiled it off.

It was only half a month later that the main headquarters of Sui Tang Company was established, in a skyscraper at the bustling center of the city district, forty stories high, with Sui Tang Square occupying the first to the third floor.

The day of the relocation was a ceremony, quite grand, and many media outlets were there. However, they wondered why Sui Tang Square, supposedly a jewelry company, needed such a whole skyscraper as its main headquarters, considering it too extravagant.

It wasn’t until Lin Yun said that this was the headquarters of Sui Tang Company, and Sui Tang Square was just a part of it, along with several other divisions...

The Yun Family’s companies were ostentatiously merged under the name of Sui Tang, and it was also on that day through the writings and images of these media people that this became known to the public...

Sui Tang seemed to signal an era on the rise.

————————

Sui Tang was a large company, and aside from the majority of companies being integrated, Sui Tang Square was definitely not to be underestimated. Soon, people discovered that Sui Tang Square had set up another department apart from sales.

—A pawnshop.

A pawnshop? This industry, prevalent in ancient times, wasn’t exactly rare today either. Sui Yi should probably be thankful that the turbulent tides of history had not erased this cultural practice. Therefore, Sui Tang Square establishing a pawnshop wasn’t considered particularly strange, but not many people came to pawn items.

"It’s quite normal. Those who come to pawn are either rich or poor. For the rich, if they pawn something, most of the items are already regarded as treasures by them. They would rather find buyers directly in their own circles than pawn them off cheaply to a pawnshop. Even if it’s not a dead pawn, they feel such acts are shameful and prefer to settle it privately rather than come to a pawnshop... For the poor, they mostly harbor suspicion of being cheated, so..."

Gong Jiu seemed very familiar with this, stemming from her previous experiences in the industry.

However, Sui Yi’s attitude towards this left them feeling puzzled.

"Leave it to fate," she simply said, as if spending a significant amount of money to establish a pawnshop and hiring several pawnbrokers was just a whim of hers...

But those who knew her were aware that the pawnshop had already been planned before the establishment of Sui Tang Square, indicating she was quite serious about it.

Well, they knew her way of doing things was always ethereal and elusive; they just watched on.

————————

Three days after the pawnshop’s opening, Dongfang Bubai and Jiang Chenyu were not at home. Gong Jiu and others were also busy. In the entire house, there were only Ah Guna and Sui Yi.

Ah Guna was a taciturn man, sitting cross-legged in silence on the back courtyard terrace. Fortunately, Sui Yi was someone who disliked noise, so she spent the whole morning reading in the study... Suddenly, the peaceful tranquility of her heart was disturbed by the rustling of raindrops splattering against the window.

It was raining, a light drizzle.

What started as a sunny day had turned into a rainy one, and unusually, Sui Yi felt a bit stifling, so she went downstairs and said to Ah Guna, "Ah Guna, I’m going out for a bit."

Ah Guna stood up and said, "I’ll come with you."
