Hang Lee had made this decision after careful consideration.
Now, he felt more and more that Lin Yun had massive potential.
Within a few days, Lin Yun had decimated a business group valued at over 10 billion, but that was besides the point.
Lin Yun himself could acquire a large number of premium jades, he had access to top-notch carving channels, and if he were to venture into the jewelry business himself, it was safe to say his success would be near astronomical.
His Lee's Jewelry Store, if it aligned with Lin Yun, would undoubtedly be beneficial.
A ten percent stake? Twenty percent? That's too little.
At least a thirty percent stake would encourage Lin Yun to dedicate more to Lee's Jewelry Store.
Only then would Lin Yun perhaps not contemplate venturing into the jewelry industry by himself, but instead, truly focus all his attention on Lee's Jewelry Store.
As long as Lin Yun gave a bit more effort to Lee's Jewelry Store, his sacrifice of a thirty percent stake would be worthwhile.
"Transfer a thirty percent stake to me? Brother Lee, are you joking?" Lin Yun said, surprised.
He initially thought Hang Lee had some kind of request. But this? This was quite something — who initiates to allocate shares to others?
"No joke, Lee's Jewelry Store was just an ordinary jewelry chain. Without the jades you provided, it would have been hard to stand out in Shen City; it would perhaps stay ordinary. Without your contribution, the store itself wasn't worth much," Hang Lee said, shaking his head.
"With the jades you provided, plus the advertisement, the reputation of Lee's Jewelry Store significantly increased. If we also take into account these exquisite accessories, the potential of Lee's Jewelry Store has increased immensely and its value has multiplied several times over," Hang paused, then added with a smile.
"Now tell me, under such circumstances, what does my transferring thirty percent of Lee's Jewelry Store shares to you amount to?" Hang Lee turned to Lin Yun.
"Brother Lee, you don't have to do this. We're only conducting a fair trade. The appreciation in the value of Lee's Jewelry Store is what you deserve," Lin Yun said, frowning.
"If you do not accept, then I can't take a thirty percent cut from the trading amount of these jade accessories. In fact, not only can I not take any money, but I also may have to pay you a certain fee. Since you have called me Brother Lee, I can't let you down. You may not fully comprehend the influence of a luxury brand.
Selling these top-grade accessories in my store will only benefit me and won't do any harm," Hang Lee said, shaking his head.
"The value of these accessories exceeds half a billion, more than enough to cover the 150 million represented by thirty percent. Even if we consider the value of the accessories you've already sold to me, it's worth at most about a billion. So in fact, I'm not at a disadvantage."
"If, in the future, you sell even more accessories in my store, chances are, I will be benefiting greatly."
Hang Lee paused, then added with a smile.
"Alright then, I must thank you, Brother Lee." Lin Yun wasn't a demanding man. After giving it some thought, he agreed.
Hang Lee put it clearly. If you think about it carefully, with his participation, Hang Lee's jewelry store had a very promising future. Therefore, his taking a thirty percent stake was nothing out of the ordinary.
There were many industries in the world; he couldn't possibly get involved in every one of them himself, or else he would be spread too thin. Holding some shares and providing some goods while leaving the rest to the business operator wasn't a bad idea.
Hang Lee was a person he could trust, and he didn't mind helping him.
Though Lin Yun's talent was a bit less than their young lady's, he was still incredibly gifted!
Their young lady was a rarely seen martial art prodigy!
But there was something in which their young lady came behind Lin Yun!
That was endurance and a strength far surpassing those of the same level!
Lin Yun, when at the Mid Mingjin Stage, was far stronger than the average martial artists of the same stage. Now, he had probably surpassed the strength of an average martial artist at the Late Mingjin Stage, after a bit of adjustment and training.
In terms of talent, it is hard to tell between Lin Yun and their young lady who was stronger!
Their emotions were mixed.
They were hired by Lin Yun as his bodyguards.
Lin Yun's strength was already much higher than theirs, and now it had grown even more.
This felt like quite a blow to their self-esteem.
If something happened, would they be protecting Lin Yun, or would Lin Yun protect them?
However, having such an employer, they couldn't deny their stress was much less. At least, they didn't have to worry too much about the safety of their employer.
"Late Mingjin Stage..."
Lin Yun opened his eyes and whispered to himself. Discover gems at m-vle-mp _yr.
The breakthrough process didn't take long. It felt as if he had suddenly tapped into a certain pressure point and a mysterious force had emerged from nowhere. His entire body had undergone a sort of cleansing. The hardest part to advance — his physical body quality — had suddenly increased significantly.
Moreover, in the following couple of days, as he replenished his energy and training, his physical body quality would increase a bit more until he stabilized at this stage.
This situation had already happened to Lin Yun twice before.
Once was when he broke through to the Early Mingjin Stage, officially becoming a martial artist.
And the second time was when he broke through to the Mid Mingjin Stage.
"Late Mingjin Stage, what would Master's reaction be if he found out I've reached the Late Mingjin Stage..." Lin Yun's lips curled into a sublime smile as he mused.
It was December and the New Year was approaching. It was about time for him to go home.
After five years away from home, he could finally return.
When he left home, he had told himself that he must make his mark before he could come back.
Now, he had made his mark, hadn't he?
