After more than a week, Thomas successfully sorted out all the top-quality raw stones. He discussed matters with the three major suppliers, and promised to give them each eight hundred million dollars in purchases. A total of two billion and four hundred million dollars’ funds would be spent for this purpose.
Now, the last thing was to sign the contract and pay the money.
Since such a large amount of purchase funds would require a little time to prepare, Thomas had reached an agreement with them to sign the contract and pay the money in two days. Thomas had repeatedly exhorted them not to sell these raw stones to others. These raw stones could only be sold to Stellar Jewelers, and only to Thomas.
The three major suppliers fully agreed with him.
In fact, even if they did not agree on it, there would not be other companies that were willing to buy these raw stones. Besides, if other companies dared to buy this batch of goods, they would be setting themselves against Stellar Jewelers. They could not afford to do so. Secondly, the other companies would not have such a huge amount of funds as Stellar Jewelers. Not every company could fork out two billion and four hundred million dollars.
After finishing the discussion with them, Thomas left the supplier’s company calmly and returned to Stellar Jewelers.
During this period of time, Benjamin was watching Thomas’ every move. As soon as Thomas completed the sorting, Benjamin had called Weiss and informed favonovel.com about the news.
Thomas returned to the company and locked himself directly in the office. Everyone else was not allowed to step into his office, except for the chairman, Zach. Even the cleaner who collected garbage in the office was forbidden to enter his office.
This showed the level of importance Thomas was placing on this task.
Everyone thought that Thomas is making the final effort in the office. He would be gathering funds in the shortest possible time to secure this large number of raw stones.
However, as Zach opened the office door, what came to sight was Thomas sipping a cup of coffee and listening to a song relaxingly.
“You are really having a leisurely time.”
Zach immediately closed the door, walked in and sat on the sofa. He said with a smile, “When you shut yourself in the office, everyone thought you were working hard.”
Thomas put down his cup and said, “Only by this way the people in the dark would be feeling nervous. This can further stimulate their desire to resist. At the same time, by shutting myself in the office, isn’t this more convenient for them to take action?”
Zach nodded.
“During this period of time, Benjamin has been watching every move you made. They must have learned that you have completed the sorting out of the raw stones. The next step would be to wait for them to take the bait.”
After a pause, Zach continued, “The only thing I’m afraid of right now is that Elite Jewelry doesn’t have that much money. Mr. Mayo, perhaps the two billion and four hundred million dollars we’ve offered is too high?”
Thomas smiled lightly, “Don’t worry, I have already calculated it. Elite Jewelry could bid up to three billion dollars. Bidding at this price will spend all their money.”
Zach said with a smirk, “That’s the best thing to happen. Now that we have set up the traps, we just have to wait for the other party to get trapped themselves.”
Thomas smiled but remained silent. He picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee.
“Well, this coffee tastes unexpectedly fragrant!”

At nightfall, one of the bosses of the three major suppliers, Oswin Wilton walked out of the office building with a wallet in his hand. Before getting into the car, favonovel.com saw a thin-looking man wearing a pair of spectacles walking towards him.
“Oswin, it has been a long time since we last met each other.” The man who was approaching favonovel.com was Weiss.
Oswin took a glance at Weiss and said enthusiastically, “Oh, Weiss, what brings you here today? So, are you coming here to order goods from me?”
Weiss waved and said, “No, the reason I came here today is to ask you to go get a bath together.”
“Get a bath?”
