Chapter 541: Pleasant Cooperation!
"What did you just call Mr. Song?"
The middle-aged man glared at his son angrily and asked.
When he saw his son's evasive gaze, his heart suddenly felt a sense of foreboding! He must have said something unpleasant!
"Your son called me, Song Gou!"
Song Yun smiled and said, "I don't know why his hostility towards me is so great. I only organized an exhibition, and it's a free exhibition at that. It's not only a charitable act, but also a place for the citizens to enjoy their weekend. Yet, your son chose to believe some people on the internet and cursed at me openly."
"Did you really say that?"
The middle-aged man felt a wave of dizziness. He had been busy with work, with his career, and neglected his son's education, thinking that providing material compensation was enough.
But now it seemed that it wasn't the case at all!
"Mr. Song..."
The middle-aged man found some words hard to say; after all... his son had caused trouble at someone's exhibition and insulted the host. Even a clay Buddha has three points of anger!
And that's not to mention the status of the person involved!
"To be honest, I don't care about those opinions on the internet. They can say what they want, and I'll do what I need to do. But many people just talk and don't act, whereas your son actually did something."
Song Yun stubbed out his cigarette and said, "To be so easily incited by a few words from netizens, I think it's not just a simple lack of brains, but a serious lack of a social beating."
"Mr. Song, you can consider our proposal carefully. Of course, all we can do is suggest. If you don't agree, we can also claim compensation," said an employee from the Eagle Country museum with a smile.
In this affair, they were the real winners.
So everyone fell into a vicious cycle, unable to decide what to do with Song Yun's diamond, nor could they forcefully tell Song Yun to complete the transaction, after all, Song Yun had done nothing wrong.
Even if you stand on the moral high ground, you can't find a single fault with him.
Putting oneself in their shoes, if they were in the same situation, they certainly wouldn't agree either.
Everyone knew the huge diamond on display was the one recently hyped by all the major media!
It was truly a priceless treasure!
If you insist on saying that the young man is just a child, that the diamond is just a cold stone, to those people, I can only say they are right.
And then what?
There is no 'then.'
"If... if no compensation is reached, does he have to go to prison?" asked the young man's mother through her sobs.
"He does."
"How long might that be..."
"If sentenced concurrently for multiple offenses... at least ten years or more... and since it's an international case, the sentencing will also consider the international impact."
"Over ten years..."
The middle-aged man looked at the young man's face, his eyes full of reluctance. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire
"Excuse me, I need to take a call."
Song Yun stood up and walked outside, curious, he answered the call from John saying, "What's up?"
"Boss! You're damn a god of wealth! You're damn my god!!!" John's excited voice came through the receiver.
Song Yun laughed and said, "Tell me what happened?"
"Hahahaha! Boss, first promise me my bonus will be doubled this year!" John said with a burst of laughter, "You definitely won't regret this decision!"
"Hahaha, okay, I promise you,"
Song Yun knew that something good must have been unearthed.
"Today we dug up a new diamond rough that's twice the size of the previous one! And its purity is on a par with that one! No! It's even slightly better!"
John shouted excitedly, "I believe our stocks are going to hit the limit up for several days in a row! No, for several months! Hahahaha!"
"Even bigger?"
Song Yun was stunned for a moment, he hadn't expected this at all!
So now the diamond on display, wasn't that important anymore?
The diamond itself was not what Song Yun valued, what's more, he had promised to give the best diamond to his wife.
So he would rather be cursed than casually meddle with even a fraction of that diamond.
"Alright, let's keep this matter secret for now, don't spill any information."
Song Yun had an idea in his mind.
"Ah? Why, boss?"
John asked, puzzled.
Shouldn't the explosive news continue to be released, causing the investors in the stock market to buy frantically?
"Don't ask too many questions, I have my plans, oh right, tell the workers that this month's bonus performance will be doubled, but make sure to keep it a secret."
Having said that, Song Yun hung up the phone.
"What kind of game is the boss playing... Ah! I got it! John, oh John, you really are a fool!"
On the other end of the phone, John slapped his head hard.
Following the impact of the last diamond, the stock price of Philly Mining Company was already at its peak!
All that was needed was to wait for the stock price to drop slightly before releasing this news, and it would definitely send people into a frenzy!
On the contrary, if this was told to the media now, a continuous stream of news might lead to suspicion or desensitization.
Indeed! The boss is the smartest!
...
Song Yun pushed open the door of his office, took a sip of water, and thought about how to use the diamond downstairs to knock on the door of the Eagle Country's museum. After all, their appreciation for that diamond was higher than for those porcelains or paintings.
These foreigners only admired the famous works from foreign schools of art, regarding Hua Country's works merely as items for trade.
"Cough cough, if I say, and I mean if, I agree to your terms, what else can you give me?"
Song Yun's words filled everyone present with bright eyes.
The staff of the Eagle Country museum hurriedly said, "What do you want?"
"I want all the exhibits below."
"No! That's absolutely impossible! Although your diamond is priceless, but... but those exhibits are also quite valuable!"
The staff of the Eagle Country museum shouted excitedly.
"Heh, you might have misunderstood me. I meant that I am willing to exchange the diamond for ten exhibits first, and for the remaining ninety, I am willing to make an offer to buy them. Of course, I know that your museum has never had a precedent for auctioning exhibits, but this is the best solution I can think of."
Hearing this, the staff of the Eagle Country museum were silent for a while before saying, "This matter is too significant, I don't have the authority to agree. Please let me report back first."
Song Yun made a please-go-ahead gesture.
About half an hour later, the museum staff returned and extended his hand towards Song Yun, saying, "Pleasure doing business!"
"Pleasure doing business!"
Song Yun smiled and said, "I hope you can give me a price list as soon as possible, so I can make the payment."
"Mr. Song... what about our side?"
The middle-aged man said sheepishly.
"I'm not a saint, if there's a mistake, punishment must be received. However, I'm willing to be lenient considering his youth, have him reformed for three years. That's my bottom line!"
"Song..."
The young man's mother wanted to say something more, but was stopped by her husband.
It was just three years, and by the time the son came out, he would only be twenty. This was already the best outcome!
