The phone reading Qin Feng stared at Lei Feng with disdain until he felt embarrassed, then spoke: "Look around at the stores—aren't they all struggling to make a profit?" "They're doing okay, I think their business is a bit better than mine. Eighty Electronics Book (txt02.com)." The uncle said timidly. Nonsense! How could they be any better? Clearly, they're much better. Opening a specialty store in such a mall requires substantial investment. If they weren't profitable, they'd have closed down and transferred ownership long ago. In fact, you simply lack business sense. You bring over a few stones from another world, process them a bit, and sell them as precious gems—this very model doesn't generate profit. It raises serious doubts about your intelligence, doesn't it? "What exactly do you have in mind?" the uncle finally lowered his tone and asked earnestly. Qin, the young man, snorted. "Did you see the girl who came in with me just now?" "Um, quite a lovely girl, and I also know you've been spending several hours with her, shopping for quite a few things." He nodded, then shifted tone: "She's the very woman people call a spendthrift mother-in-law, isn't she?" "You're the spendthrift mother-in-law! Your whole family is! Su Su is one of my most outstanding girlfriends." Of course, all my other girlfriends are equally excellent—each with her own strengths, you understand. He said, frowning: "My girlfriend's holding a group company that generates over hundreds of billions in annual revenue and earns over tens of billions in profit. How could she possibly be a spendthrift? The purchases she made just now are nothing more than a drop in the bucket. I suggest you hand over the management of your jewelry store to her—let her take charge. Even if she doesn't bring in much, she'll guarantee you several tens of millions every year!" "Really?" The uncle's eyes lit up, just like a wild wolf seeing a young lamb. "Of course, by then it won't just be this one store—she'll expand her operations, opening branches all across the capital and throughout the entire empire. She might even pay you several hundred million a year." Qin Shao said with great conviction. "Qin has rarely seen him fooled, and though he was thrilled inside, he said, "You can't possibly be idle. To ensure the quality and grade of our jewels, I believe you should handle the supply chain—everything else I'll take care of. How does that sound?" "Excellent. The supply chain is crucial. Without strict oversight, counterfeit goods would flood in and damage our reputation." The uncle didn't realize he had already stepped into the pit. By "supply chain," he simply meant sourcing stones from other worlds. Qin had generously assigned this responsibility to him because, frankly, they couldn't manage it themselves. He smiled and said, "Isn't that right? The uncle certainly isn't lacking in business acumen—especially in his commitment to quality!" "Indeed. Even if I don't have the finest skills, I've been in business for so long that I've deeply understood the ins and outs of it." The uncle felt proud and added, "Since this is a partnership, how about we split the profits?" Qin lightly stroked his chin and said, "Whether we achieve high profits ultimately depends on operations. Since I'm responsible for the most critical part, let's settle on a 30-70 split." "Great! I'll take 70, you take 30!" The uncle clapped his hands happily. "Wait a minute—shouldn't it be me at 70 and you at 30? I've already emphasized that our side handles the more crucial work. How can you possibly take the larger share?" Qin's face darkened. "You're only responsible for sourcing. Three-tenths is already generous!" "Really?" The uncle rubbed his hands. "Then you guarantee me several million—or even several hundred million annually!" "I personally guarantee it," Qin pounded his chest with vigor. The uncle nodded and said, "Alright, then. As long as we secure solid profits, the exact share doesn't matter." Qin couldn't help but smile—such intelligence, one would think, even when sold, would still be able to count the money. Indeed, being short-sighted is a condition that needs treatment. The two reached agreement and walked out of the lounge together, smiling Liu Su had already selected several jewelry pieces. When he came out, she excitedly said, "Honey, come take a look at what I've chosen!" The sales associate immediately agreed, "This lady has excellent taste—she's picked our store's signature pieces, which will surely enhance her style, and all the prices are very competitive!" Qin Shao's face had turned green. If he hadn't known the origins of these jewelry items, he'd be fine. But since these were items he didn't have to spend a single cent on, how could he possibly pay a premium price for them and still appear sophisticated? "Are you not satisfied?" Liu Su was surprised. "We're not buying," Qin Shao said with a sniff. "Why not? I really love them," the beautiful sister-in-law said, slightly displeased. In her mind, Qin Feng shouldn't be someone so stingy—just a moment ago, he'd clearly been generous. Lei Feng gave her the answer with a smile, saying, "Ms. Liu, we've already reached an agreement. From now on, this jewelry store will be under your management. You're already the owner here—why would you need to pay for your own products?" "Really? I'm the owner?" Liu Su was astonished. The staff were equally surprised. They wanted to know exactly what had been discussed between Qin Feng and the owner in the lounge, and how quickly the ownership had changed. "Indeed," Qin said, adding, "I plan to partner with Lei. Together, we'll grow this jewelry store into something truly successful. Su Su, you'll have to work harder—whether we make a profit or not will entirely depend on you!" Liu Su now understood, yet she still couldn't figure out what had happened. What exactly had Qin poured into this kind-hearted gentleman's mind? Just in a few minutes, he had willingly handed over the store—how astonishing was that! Qin Feng whispered to her, "Your uncle is also a cultivator..." The beautiful senior student immediately understood, stood up, and said with serious determination, "Mr. Lei, please rest assured. With my connections in the capital and my company's sales network and influence across the Chinese nation, I will certainly bring noticeable improvements to this jewelry store within a short time. Moreover, I plan to establish a chain of stores—possibly even expanding overseas to earn foreign customers' money!" Lei Feng was thrilled: "Excellent! Then let's finalize the contract right away. From now on, this store and all its branches will be under your full authority, Miss Liu!"
