Chapter 125
So sensible and realistic was Manuel that he thought not a minute should be lost before they signed the contract. Therefore,
after Oliver agreed, Manuel immediately picked up his phone and called his subordinate excitedly. He asked his subordinate to
prepare the contract, print it out, and send it to the restaurant as soon as possible.
An hour later, the contract was sent over.
Manuel read the contract first and then showed it to Oliver after he was sure that there was nothing amiss.
Oliver read the contract carefully and found that Manuel was not greedy indeed. According to the contract, 50% of the shares of
Aureate Jewelry were transferred to him. To his surprise, Oliver found that his jadeite supplier would not be bound by this
contract as the contract didn’t mention it at all.
Oliver looked at Manuel with a smile and found that Manuel was staring at him expectantly.
Oliver shook his head with a smile and signed his name formally.`
From the moment Oliver signed it, he officially became a shareholder of Aureate Jewelry.
According to the contract, the current market value of Aureate Jewelry was 500 million dollars, which meant that Oliver had a
price tag of 250 million dollars the moment he signed the contract!
Speaking of which, Manuel had suffered a loss anyway. But both Manuel and Oliver knew that with a steady supply of jadeite
from Oliver, Manuel’s net worth would rise to at least 2 billion dollars in one year.
Sometimes, a slight loss might result in more gains. One couldn’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Men should be far-sighted, especially businessmen. Only in this way could they gain more wealth.
Seeing that Oliver had signed the contract, Manuel smiled and held Oliver’s hand.
“Oliver, you are now an owner of Aureate Jewelry. Haha! We are family. We’re brothers!” Manuel grinned.
Manuel waved to his subordinate and ordered, “Go back to the company and transfer money to Oliver’s account immediately.
The company now has more than 140 million dollars in the company’s bank account. Transfer 140 million dollars to Oliver’s
account. The customer’s advance payment will arrive within three days. At that time, transfer 100 million dollars to Oliver’s
account.”
Oliver hurriedly said, “Manuel, you don’t have to transfer all the money the company has now to me. I am not short of money.
The company
also needs working capital. You can keep it first and then transfer it to my account after the company’s money is enough to keep
turnover moving.”
Manuel waved his hand and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. There is no shortage of cash in the company.”
When Manuel showed the high-quality jadeite provided by Oliver to targeted wealthy customers, they were immediately
attracted. The down payment he got on the first day reached 60 million dollars, and he estimated that there would be at least 120
million dollars in three days.
Now 20 million dollars was enough to keep Aureate Jewelry’s turnover moving, so Manuel was not worried about cash at all.
Rich people were not short of money, what they lacked was beautiful jewelry of high quality!
Manuel’s jadeite came at the right time, and high-quality jadeite was more profitable. A top-grade bracelet could be worth more
than 10 million dollars, while a pair of jadeite bracelets could be worth more than 24 million dollars. Moreover, they were in short
supply!
This batch of top-quality jadeite from Oliver could make at least 80 bracelets, and the revenue alone exceeds 800 million dollars.
The total value of the finished products was more than 1.4 billion dollars because Manuel could sell those products at a higher
price. Therefore, even though Manuel would pay a cost of 600 million dollars to Oliver, he could still gain a profit of 800 million
dollars from it.
And this was only a month’s profit. The annual profit was unimaginable. Even though Manuel would give half of the profits to
Oliver, he would still make a fortune from this deal.
Oliver played an important role in this deal. Without the jadeite provided by Oliver, all this would only be fantasy.
After returning from the restaurant, Oliver went straight to the company. Now the company building was magnificently remodeled.
On the first floor, there was a store and an exhibition hall. On the second floor, there was an office, a conference room, and a
recreation room.
Fabian remodeled each area according to Oliver’s requirements. Because Oliver was not short of money, Fabian used the best
materials and magnificently remodeled each room and office in the company building, so the rooms and offices looked
beautiful.
Oliver looked up and down. He was very satisfied, but he had a headache again.
Oliver would supply all the jadeite to Manuel from now on. He thought, “What my company could do in the future? I can’t
leave half of the jadeite and do jewelry business, which would damage Manuel’s interests, can I?”
Manuel was undoubtedly one of the most professional people in the jewelry industry, so there was no need for Oliver to start a
new jewelry company.
But if Oliver didn’t do jadeite business, what was the point of him having such a big and beautiful building?
Fabian misunderstood that Oliver was dissatisfied with the remodeling of the offices when he saw Oliver standing there silently.
He hurriedly asked Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, is there anything you are dissatisfied with?”
“No,” Oliver shook his head and said with a smile. “Fabian, don’t think too much. I’m very satisfied with everything. It’s just that I
planned to do jadeite business, but Mr. Camden of Aureate Jewelry signed a contract with me today. He transferred half of the
shares of Aureate Jewelry to me to trade for our jadeite. He will buy all our jadeite at the price we offered. That is to say,
whenever we get jadeite from the raw jadeite stones we get from Manchernius, he will buy it. Besides, I can still get half of the
profits from selling the finished jadeite products his company produces. He was so generous. In addition to the 50% of the
shares of Aureate Jewelry, he is willing to give half of the profits of his jewelry products for nothing, so I can’t produce jadeite
products and sell jadeite products.”.
Fabian was stunned. He then asked, “But... If so, what can we do with this big building?”
After a pause, Fabian asked Oliver again, “We got a lot of jadeite from the raw jadeite stones we got from Manchernius and
Yrinas. How much did you get from them?”
Oliver nodded and replied, “600 million dollars. Mr. Camden said he would transfer 140 million dollars today. 100 million dollars
will be transferred in three days. In the following 10 months, he will transfer 36 million dollars every month. It is 600 million dollars
in total.”
“600 million dollars?”
Fabian almost fell. He tried to calm himself down and stood firm before asking Oliver carefully, “Mr. Eastwood, you mean we got
600 million dollars from the raw jadeite stones we brought back?”
Oliver nodded seriously and replied, “Yes, it is indeed 600 million dollars.”
Fabian covered his mouth and exclaimed, “Damn it. Mr. Eastwood... We don’t need to do anything else. Just sell raw jadeite
stones. We just need to go get raw jadeite stones once a month. You earn 600 million dollars this time. Why do you want to do
other things?”
Most importantly, 600 million dollars was not all the money Oliver could get. After he sold the jadeite to Manuel, he could still get
half of the profit from the finished jadeite products Manuel’s company produced.
Besides, these raw jadeite stones cost only 6.2 million dollars in total, but they were sold at a price as high as 100 times the
cost!
In addition, Oliver was generous and kind, so he bought the raw jadeite stones for 6.2 million dollars. If it were Fabian who
negotiated with the supplier, 2 million dollars would have been enough.
But Fabian didn’t say much. Oliver was not only far-sighted but also generous and kind. Fabian was sure that Oliver would be
nice to him and those who worked for Oliver since Oliver could be nice to a supplier. Although Oliver was a bit reckless with
money sometimes, the things he bought back would always bring profits for him.
Fabian took himself as a veteran in the jadeite industry, but he felt that Oliver was more professional than him sometimes.
For Fabian, earning 600 million dollars a month was indeed amazing. But compared with that, Oliver’s sharp eyes, which could
help him detect if a raw jadeite stone contained jadeite were a true gift that could bring him a lot of wealth!
