Chapter 965 (Page 1/2)

Song Jingjing went south alone to purchase goods, while Lin Man and Huo Qingci went directly to find Zhou Yang, preparing to go to Zhou Zhe's factory to pick up the goods.

Because they were acquaintances, even though Lin Man did not wholesale large quantities of certain styles, Zhou Yang and his colleagues still gave Lin Man a discount based on the wholesale price.

After completing the purchasing, Lin Man handed over the clothing store to Fang Jia, the flower shop to Li Luo, and hired two new employees for the newly opened shoe store.

That morning, Huo Qingci suddenly rushed to the newly opened shoe store to find Lin Man, his face filled with excitement.

"Manman, my classmate invited us to go to Jingshi Hotel tomorrow!" Huo Qingci said excitedly.

"Oh? What are you going there for?" Lin Man asked curiously.

Huo Qingci whispered carefully in Lin Man's ear, "Gambling on stones!"

"Gambling on stones?" Lin Man was a little surprised.

Huo Qingci nodded. "Yes, didn't I tell you some time ago that Wei Chaoran and Shen Hao went to Myanmar? This time they brought a truckload of raw stones here and planned to hold a small auction in Kyoto."

They got the raw stones from Myanmar, so shouldn't they auction them in Hong Kong? Why would they think of auctioning them in Beijing? Lin Man was really puzzled.

"What do they want to do?" Lin Man asked bluntly.

"They're planning to open a jewelry store in Beijing, so they're organizing a small auction for rough diamonds. Manman, should we go take a look?"

Lin Man thought for a moment and said, "Go, why not?"

She was secretly thinking about how to get closer to them. After all, if she had the opportunity to do business in Hong Kong in the future, having a guide would definitely help her achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As night fell, Lin Man and Huo Qingci dragged their tired bodies back home.

As soon as she returned to the room, Lin Man couldn't wait to move a basketball-sized stone from the space. The stone looked inconspicuous and had a light gray surface.

Lin Man gently placed the stone on the living room floor, then turned to look at Huo Qingci, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and said, "Qingci, what do you think of this rough stone? I think there's a good chance it might contain green!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Qingci walked forward curiously and looked at the stone carefully.

He touched the surface of the stone, feeling its texture and temperature, then asked doubtfully, "Manman, is this raw jade? Will it really turn green if I cut it open?"

Lin Man nodded, "Of course! Don't underestimate this inconspicuous rough stone. I got it from the Misty Space Warehouse.

Although it looks ordinary on the outside, I have a strong feeling that it may be full of green inside."

"Oh? Really?" Huo Qingci was obviously skeptical of Lin Man's words. "Then what are you going to do with this rough stone?"

Lin Man thought for a moment, then suggested, "I think we can take this rough stone to the processing factory and open a window. If it explodes in color, we can sell it to Shen Hao and Wei Chaoran. This way, we can not only make some money, but also use this opportunity to build a closer relationship with them!"

Huo Qingci listened to Lin Man's plan and thought it made sense, but he still said with some worry, "But, Manman, if this rough stone doesn't produce green, then we'll be making a fool of ourselves."

Lin Man quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, Qingci. This rough stone will increase in value once it's cut. Have you forgotten the mutton-fat white jade seed material I gave you before? Every piece is high-quality, right?"

Huo Qingci nodded and said, "Okay, Manman, since you are so confident, let's give it a try. However, before we take it to the processing factory, we should first find a professional to identify this rough stone."

"Let's keep this one at home for now. Tomorrow we'll go to the Jingshi Hotel to see how they auction the rough stone. Then we'll figure out a way to sell it to them."

"Manman, they've imported so many raw stones, how could they possibly buy ours?"

"Because my rough stone is definitely better than the ones they import from Myanmar. I believe they must have shipped those good goods back to the port city long ago."

"Perhaps you are right. If they ask us where we got this stone, how will we explain it?"

"Just say it's an ancestral stone used to press kimchi."

Huo Qingci chuckled, "Okay, just say it's an ancestral stone. But it's best not to let Qingyan and the others know about this, otherwise they might take it seriously."
