C960 Stolen Treasures

Although Ms Merkel has the real power, these activities are carried out by the heir to the Sotullah family, who is still more trusting than Ms Merkel, the outsider, despite his short-sighted and petty greed.

So on the same day, Merkel took Jiang Chen and his wife to the Sotullah family's manor house, where she introduced them as co-workers to the family's heir, Jones.

After all, the Merkel Family had a diamond business for one to two hundred years. Thus, the decorations of their villa were extremely luxurious, like a church. All of the decorations were gold and white, giving off a luxurious feeling.

As soon as they entered, someone greeted them like they were in Europe, and led them inside. Jones sat on the sofa and didn't get up. He just stuck his head out slightly, looking very arrogant.

"Welcome to our manor. You can call me Jones. My knees have hurt from riding on horseback for the past two days, so I won't stand up to welcome you."

Jones' reasoning made Jiang Chen feel even more that it wasn't easy for Merkel. The Sotura Family was on the verge of collapsing, and this Jones guy actually had the heart to ride a horse and enjoy himself. Indeed, he was too weak to support a wall.

Jiang Chen nodded. He pulled Soong Ying along and sat down in the main hall. After the two of them sat down, Jones said impatiently.

"I heard from Uncle Merkel that you were willing to help our family and supply us with goods. Although I trust Uncle Merkel a lot, I would like to ask, why are you willing to help us? We didn't have any relationship before, did we? "

Jones' tone made people feel uncomfortable. With the current situation of the Isotura Family, if someone was willing to help, he would at least be grateful. However, he still maintained a haughty attitude, not knowing his own position!

However, Jiang Chen came to plot against him after all. The more brainless this brat was, the more relaxed he would be in his heart and he wouldn't care about being impolite.

"I do some charity work every year. The Sotura family has been in operation for so many years, and I can't bear to see them decline. What do you think I'm up to?"

This was what it meant to deal with someone else in their own way. In terms of bickering, Jiang Chen would never repeat it again.

The two of them spoke in such an unpleasant manner that it seemed that they would not be able to continue the conversation. It was as if a crack had appeared on Jones' exquisite mask.

Seeing the two of them at loggerheads, Ms Merkel rushed out to smooth things over.

Jiang Chen knew that if Merkel was born, Jones would think that the two of them were working together to plot against the Sotulla family. When that time came, it would be even more difficult to work together, so he restrained his temper and secretly waved at Merkel to get her to sit down.

"Mr. Jones, there is no need for us to fight over such a small matter. I am a businessman investing in you for the sake of making money, so you should know that the best businessman in the entire X District is the Shi family. I don't have a good relationship with the Shi family, so I hope to help you regain your composure."

"Forget it, Mr. Jiang Chen. From the moment you entered the door, I could tell that you have ill intentions towards our family. Since Merkel called them here, you must be conspiring with him to plot against our family!"

Jones' attitude towards Merkel was so arrogant that he did not even care about what he directly said. Jiang Chen finally believed that Merkel was in such a hurry to replace all these idiots, because his position in the family was too low, and he did his best to not receive any return or respect.

He couldn't stand being treated like a servant like this.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to explain, Jiang Chen pulled Soong Ying along and stood up, "The cooperation between merchants is the most important. Since Mr. Jones has so many doubts, then let's forget about this matter. There is a saying in China that being in a hurry is not a business deal.

Jones immediately stood up from the sofa before the two of them reached the door. He stopped them and bowed deeply: "I'm really sorry. My temper hasn't been good these two days because of my unwell condition. I apologize for my earlier. I hope you will give us another chance. Let's sit down and have a good chat."

It seemed like Jiang Chen had made the right bet, this Jones was just putting on an act to test him, the more eager he was to cooperate, the more convinced he would be of his collaboration with Merkel, and the opposite was true, only then would he gain the trust of the other party.

Jiang Chen didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he rolled his eyes and pretended to say, "Mr. Jones has a lot of reasons today, but I don't like doing business with people who are always perfunctory towards me."

Jones quickly waved his hand as well. He put on a cold smile and said, "The Sotura family has been developing for so many years, I don't wish for the family's property to be lost in my hands. I have to be very careful, I was just testing you just now, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Jiang Chen nodded, dusted his sleeves and went back to the sofa.

This time, Jones completely released his heart, telling the truth about the Sotulla family's situation. After the introductions were finished, he added, "Although we are still being watched by outsiders, due to the worms in our family, our current business is really difficult. You have chosen to work with us now, we will definitely be grateful in the future!"

When he said this, he gave Merkel a fierce look.

Jiang Chen was speechless. The Sotura Family had so many descendants, why did they choose the dumbest one as their successor?

"Of course, this is also why I chose to work with you. Your family's reputation is well-known, so it is my honor to work with you. My business in the country is hindered by the Shi family, so I want to find another way to develop my business in this area."

What Jiang Chen said was half true and half false, but Jones felt that it was very enjoyable. He liked to listen to these praises the most, "Mr. Jiang is really straightforward, how do you intend to help us?"

"I've already talked to Mr. Merkel about this. I'm a gem merchant and I have many excellent diamond products, so rather than pouring funds into your shop, I'd rather have these finished products in order to help you solve your urgent needs and relieve the pressure on my own inventory. What do you think?"1

Jones was overjoyed and immediately nodded his head. If the other party had really chosen to give him money, he would have thought that it was meaningless. After all, he was lacking in goods and not money.

"Mr. Jiang Chen is too sincere. I agree with your suggestion, but how should we set the price of the diamonds? After all, if you want to inject money into the goods, we have to write a specific amount. "

It seemed that Jones was not entirely a fool.

During the conversation, Merkel looked very nervous, rubbing her hands from time to time, as if she was afraid that her plan would be exposed. His behavior also made Jiang Chen more trusting of him.
