Stuart and his apprentice were stunned when they heard Isaac’s words.
“Mr. Garten, are you saying you want to build a house with red nephrite emeralds? A small house of about 100 square feet?” Stuart slowly stood up.
“You can understand it that way,” Isaac replied softly after lighting a cigarette.
Stuart burst into laughter. He showed strong mockery as favonovel.com said, “Mr. Garten, do you know how valuable red nephrite emeralds are? Only three regions in the globe can mine this mineral…”
“If you want to build a too-square-foot emerald house, you would require at least five tons of red nephrite emerald. The raw minerals alone would cost at least 10 billion… Forgive me for being blunt, but your idea is a bit absurd.” He didn’t hide his disdain.
Even if Isaac was wealthy, favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to obtain so many red nephrite emeralds from all over the world. But what Isaac said next almost startled Stuart to faint.
“You don’t have to worry about the raw materials. I’ll acquire five tons of them. You just need to tell me if you can handle this project. If you can, I’ll offer you one billion dollars.”
Stuart and his apprentice couldn’t help but gasp in disbelief.
Right then, Shawn stepped forward and said coldly, “Mr. Wheatly, you don’t need to doubt Mr. Garten’s abilities. I hope you think about it thoroughly before responding. ”
Stuart had been immersed in the study of emeralds and jewelry in Southcloud. He hadn‘t returned to his hometown Layton for many years.
This time, favonovel.com retired and returned because favonovel.com heard that Horace, the former underground lord of Southland, had died. And now, it was Shawn’s world. That was why favonovel.com agreed to Shawn’s request and came here.
However, favonovel.com had no idea who Isaac was, most likely just a company’s boss.
“Mr. Garten, if you can get five tons of red nephrite emerald, l won’t charge you a single penny to build the emerald house. If you can’t, I’ll take this emerald box as compensation. Do we have a deal?”
Stuart still doubted Isaac’s abilities to obtain five tons of red nephrite emeralds.
His apprentice immediately chimed in, “That’s right! If you can’t do it, you should give this emerald box to my teacher as compensation.”
They were on the same page right now, both eyeing the red emerald box in front of Isaac.
“Besides, I have to go to Pecling for an antique appraisal TV show in five days. So, if your materials don’t arrive within five days, I’ll have to leave for Pecling,” Stuart said seriously.
“No problem. Five days is enough. I promise you. I hope you both will keep your promises either,” Isaac nodded with a smile.
After Stuart and his apprentice had left, Shawn stepped forward and said, “Mr. Garten, Stuart Wheatly is too greedy. Should we find someone else?”
“No need. Since we’ve made a bet, we should abide by it…”
Upon saying that, Isaac picked up his phone and dialed Connor’s number.
After listening to Isaac’s words, Connor was stunned and asked on the other end of the phone, “Why do you need so much emerald? That’s five tons.”
“I’d like to do some art recently. It’s most appropriate to ask for your help,” Isaac responded with a smile.
“You want to do art? Well, okay then. I’ll just assume that’s your actual purpose.”
“And also… There‘s an antique appraisal TV show in a few days. Ask them to stop it,” Isaac recalled this matter and added.
Connor was puzzled. But Isaac’s request wasn’t a big deal, so favonovel.com readily agreed to it.
***
The next morning, major news spread in the domestic emerald industry. Several jewelry groups began to purchase red nephrite emeralds. Some multinational corporations also started purchasing them overseas.
In less than two days, Connor contacted Isaac.
