The Amazing son in law Chapter 6672

Zhang Ermao (Cade) was astute enough to grasp Jacob’s underlying motives right away.

However, his intentions weren’t driven by a desire for profit. Instead, he aimed to win Jacob’s favor. By assisting Jacob in expressing his frustrations and potentially earning some money, he thought Jacob would be more appreciative of his efforts.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Zhang Ermao (Cade) declared, “President Jacob, since you’re the one funding this, I’ll make sure you receive a significant share of the profits once we’re successful.”

Jacob responded with a grin, “Oh my, how can you feel embarrassed? I certainly can’t let you work for nothing after we make some money!”

With a wave of his hand, he cheerfully added, “Here’s the deal, Er Mao: I’ll cover all the expenses, and you’ll get 20% of the net profit!”

Zhang Ermao, smiling, replied, “President Jacob, let’s not rush into profit-sharing just yet. I must remind you that once we select something, we need to pay upfront. When it comes to purchasing imitations, we have to pay for them and arrange for their delivery. If we choose them and Zhou Liangyun doesn’t take the bait, we’ll end up wasting our money. We can’t be sure if we can sell them to someone else, so I must clarify this risk for you.”

Jacob smiled back, “To be honest, Er Mao, if it were up to me to make a choice, I wouldn’t be confident. But don’t you have a role as a consultant? Everyone in the antique street knows how skilled you are at this! When it comes to packaging and storytelling, you, Zhang Ermao (Cade), are definitely at the top of your game. I trust your judgment. It should be easy to fool Zhou Liangyun with your selections.”

Jacob continued, “And remember, even if Zhou Liangyun doesn’t take the bait this time, he’s not the only one with funds. I have faith that, with your skills, you can still find a buyer.”

Jacob’s words brought a mix of joy and frustration to Zhang Ermao (Cade). He couldn’t help but think, “Mr. Jacob wants me to be honest! Does this imply that even if he can’t trick Zhou Liangyun, he still expects me to find someone else to deceive and collect the money? How shameless…”

At that moment, Zhang Ermao (Cade) regretted his decision to help Jacob seek revenge.

Initially, he thought he could seize the chance to do Jacob a favor and impress him. But now it seemed that if this plan fell through, he would be facing significant financial loss. If he really led Jacob to spend 50,000 yuan on something with the intention of swindling Zhou Liangyun out of 500,000 yuan, would he be left to cover that 500,000 yuan if it all went awry?

With that thought, Zhang Ermao (Cade) sighed inwardly, “This is dark! It’s incredibly shady!”

Yet, he also understood that there was no turning back now. “Once you embark on this path, there’s no regret medicine to take. Since we’ve come this far, I must proceed as a way to repay Master Wade’s kindness.”

So, he assured Jacob, “Don’t worry, President Jacob. Even if we can’t win over Zhou Liangyun, I, Zhang Ermao (Cade), can promise you that no matter how much you invest, you will at least double your return.”

By making this promise of doubling, Zhang Ermao (Cade) effectively set a limit on his potential losses.

The goal was to swindle Zhou Liangyun out of several hundred thousand yuan, so the maximum investment should only be around 100,000 yuan. Spending more than that wouldn’t be wise.

It’s illogical to spend a hundred yuan to buy a fake hundred-yuan bill and then attempt to use it in a store, right? That’s just foolishness!

As for the 100,000 yuan expense, Jacob would be responsible for that. If Zhou Liangyun declined the item, he would owe Jacob 200,000 yuan. If they found another buyer for the item, they could still make a profit without incurring a loss.

Jacob had just received two payments of 50,000 US dollars from Claire and Charlie the day before, so he felt financially secure and confident. He said excitedly, “Er Mao, you’re more reliable! When are we going to check out the items? We should do this sooner rather than later. I’m heading to Dubai in two days. Let’s try to wrap this up before I leave!”

Zhang Ermao (Cade), taking on the risk, quickly responded, “President, since it’s best to act now, let’s head out immediately!”

Jacob slammed his hand on the table, declaring, “Let’s go! Time to have some fun!”
