Chapter 183 Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing Join Forces Again
After discussing with Shen Wancheng about having Kelin become Shen Wancheng's long-term diamond supplier, Gu Jinxing called Kelin that same day.
He first apologized to Kelin over the phone for concealing Shen Wancheng's true identity. After receiving Kelin's forgiveness, he then invited Kelin to attend his and Shen Wancheng's wedding.
Only then did Gu Jinxing talk to Kelin about wanting him to supply high-quality diamonds on a long-term basis.
Klin was naturally delighted and immediately told him to give him a few days to prepare. He then collected a batch of high-quality diamonds and immediately headed to Hong Kong Island.
Three days later, Colin arrived at Hong Kong Island.
Gu Jinxing accompanied Shen Wancheng to the airport to pick her up.
Kelin came here to cooperate with Shen Wancheng, so Shen Wancheng insisted on not letting Gu Jinxing help arrange Kelin's food and accommodation.
Instead, it was a hotel arranged by Li Su at Shen Wancheng's instruction.
They didn't discuss business that night; Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing accompanied Kelin to eat Cantonese cuisine.
The next day, Shen Wancheng and Kelin discussed the details of their collaboration. Gu Jinxing was also present, but he merely accompanied them and did not offer any opinions.
Shen Wancheng and Kelin had already made a deal once, and this time the deal went even more smoothly. The cooperation was finalized in just two hours in the morning.
Because of the long-term cooperation planned, Shen Wancheng proactively raised the price of the ordinary to mid-to-high-end diamonds that Kelin brought in a small suitcase. This pleased Kelin greatly, and he repeatedly praised Shen Wancheng for her business acumen.
The diamonds that Kelin brought this time were of such high quality that Shen Wancheng was pleasantly surprised.
Last time, Gu Jinxing suggested changing the main diamond on their watch, and Kelin brought two top-quality diamonds in orange-red and deep blue as requested.
Both diamonds are even top-quality bicolor diamonds.
Orange-red diamonds gradually deepen in color from the outside in, with a blood-red center. Dark blue diamonds, on the other hand, have a black center.
Such a diamond is already extremely rare, but Klin brought two, which would make a perfect pair.
Shen Wancheng really liked the two diamonds, but when it came to negotiating the price, she cut it short, just like Gu Jinxing had done last time.
"Two diamonds, one worth $400 million."
At the exchange rate at that time, US$4 million was less than HK$20 million.
Upon hearing the price, Klin jumped up from the sofa.
"Miss Shen, I just praised you for being honest, how come you're offering a price lower than Mr. Gu's!"
"A price of $400 million is absolutely unacceptable!"
Shen Wancheng stood up and reached out a hand to reach out to Clark's arm.
“Mr. Klin, this is just my bottom line, not our final price. Please have a seat, and then raise the price for me.”
Kelin was just going through the motions, sitting down again as Shen Wancheng said, but he was still fuming.
"Miss Shen and Mr. Gu are truly a perfect match; every time they offer a price, they cut right into my heart."
Upon hearing Kelin's words, Shen Wancheng couldn't help but smile and look at Gu Jinxing, who was quietly drinking tea to the side.
They happened to meet Gu Jinxing's gaze.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Klin noticed their subtle movements and said something.
"Did you two agree on this beforehand? Miss Shen, the price you just offered was clearly fair. Was the price of this diamond something Mr. Gu asked you to set?"
Gu Jinxing spoke before Shen Wancheng could, "I had no idea you would bring out diamonds of this quality. How could you tell my fiancée what price you were asking beforehand?"
Shen Wancheng deliberately said, "I just followed his example. Mr. Kelin thinks I'm good enough for you and you, so you can add a little more."
Shen Wancheng quoted a very low price. Even if she said that she learned the price quoted by Gu Jinxing and allowed Kelin to increase it, Kelin could not possibly increase it by double, right?
Therefore, Shen Wancheng's low price, which she knew was impossible to sell, was not meaningless; it lowered the upper limit of the diamond's price.
“I knew it, Miss Shen. I’ll give you a fair price: $700 million.”
Shen Wancheng frowned and immediately said.
“Mr. Klin, your price is unfair. You’ve doubled my price.”
"That $650 million."
Shen Wancheng shook her head again.
"Then add some yourself."
$450.
"No."
Shen Wancheng laughed and said, "You said you'd let me add some myself, but $50 is no small amount, Mr. Klin."
Klin pointed again to the diamond still placed in front of Shen Wancheng.
"Take another look at them. Aren't they beautiful enough to make you sincerely want to buy them?"
Shen Wancheng obediently picked up the orange diamond again.
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the orange diamond and filling the eye with a warm, orange glow.
Klin was also admiring the diamond, he said.
"600 million, that really can't be any lower, it's worth the price."
Gu Jinxing, however, was looking at Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng was wearing a dark blue denim shirt paired with a long pencil skirt, a look that was both casual and dignified.
Today, because she was going to see Klin, she wore light makeup, which was unusual for her, making her already striking features even more prominent than usual.
It complements the exquisite orange diamond she holds perfectly, without losing its brilliance.
Gu Jinxing still remembered Shen Wancheng when she saved him in the countryside, and now she was like a completely different person.
Every new stirring of Gu Jinxing's heart comes from the present moment, from the earnest and vibrant Shen Wancheng.
After looking at the diamond for a while, Shen Wancheng carefully put it back into its own small box before speaking.
"470."
"That's too low, Ms. Shen. Aren't we friends now? A partnership is more stable if we all make money together."
Shen Wancheng smiled and said, "Just because we're friends, shouldn't Mr. Kelin give me a friend's price?"
“550 million, I won’t sell these two diamonds for any lower.”
Gu Jinxing spoke up at the opportune moment.
“Mr. Klin, you may not know the purpose of our purchase of these two diamonds. They are to be used to make watches for our wedding. Your sale of these two diamonds to my fiancée is the best blessing you can give us.”
Shen Wancheng echoed Gu Jinxing's words.
"So, the two diamonds, totaling $999 million, with '999' symbolizing longevity, can be considered Mr. Collins' blessing to us."
Kelin looked at Shen Wancheng and then at Gu Jinxing, finally shaking his head helplessly.
"Okay, two $999 million. Wishing my two dear friends a happy and long-lasting marriage."
Shen Wancheng stood up and extended her hand to Kelin, "Thank you, my friend, Kelin."
After Kelin and Shen Wancheng shook hands briefly, Gu Jinxing stood up and gave Kelin a one-armed hug.
"Thank you for your blessing, Klin."
After Shen Wancheng and Kelin finalized the diamond deal, it was noon, and they had lunch at the hotel restaurant.
In the afternoon, Shen Wancheng said she would take Kelin to see the horse race on Hong Kong Island.
Today also happens to be Shen Yao's first time participating in a horse race.
