On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.
However, on the verge of death, s...
Zuo Ling first filled two tanks with water by the waterfall, then carried the gray rabbit back to the inn.
After settling the bill with the shop owner, I went directly to Wucheng.
Xinzhou is a production area of Hetian jade, and Wucheng is home to many merchants who collect stones.
She thought the jade was useless and that she should exchange it for money to stockpile supplies.
After asking around, they arrived at Wucheng Jade Street.
The street, which is more than 2,000 meters long, is lined with shops of all sizes that sell jade and related products.
In front of forty or fifty shops, there are signs advertising the purchase of jade.
Zuo Ling selected three companies that ranked among the top ten in China's jade industry.
The first one was a jade shop run by people from Ningcheng.
Zuo Ling didn't know how to identify jade, so she picked out 40 rough stones that she thought were bad.
The stones were placed in the van. After inspecting them briefly, Ningcheng was puzzled: "Young lady, most of these are not Hetian jade."
The stones Zuo Ling brought came from all over the country, from south to north. It's understandable that the jade capital of Hetian would find it strange to receive jade from other places.
Do you only accept Hetian jade?
The energy crystals are colorful. If all the energy crystals in the cave were collected by that senior, it's impossible that they only contain Hetian jade.
Master Ningcheng shook his head:
"No, I was just curious. I've lived in New South Wales for many years, and this is the first time I've seen so many stones other than Hetian jade, and of such good quality."
He gestured for the shop to enter:
"Miss, I need to check again. Please come inside and rest for a while."
"Okay, but the stone must remain in my sight."
"Of course, of course. Please, please, young lady."
The person who could produce so many high-quality jade stones at once was definitely not an ordinary person, so Master Ningcheng did not refuse and his attitude became more polite.
Excessive mining of jade has led to the depletion of jade resources. Although the main store still has some inventory, it can only last for one or two years. With this batch of jade, it can last for another two years.
Moreover, the stones Zuo Ling brought were not only Hetian jade, but also raw materials such as red jadeite, green jadeite, and yellow jadeite.
Acquiring this batch of stones will greatly enrich the jewelry selection at the main store, and he will also receive a substantial reward.
The group examined various items with instruments, exchanged glances, and then went to the next room to discuss things for a while before finally coming out.
Master Ningcheng said:
"Young lady, we'll take all the stones. But the price..."
He cleared his throat and continued:
"Although the stones have all been cut open and the texture looks good, they haven't been fully opened, so no one can say for sure what's inside. It's like a semi-gambled stone. If it were at an auction, it could fetch 30 to 40 million, or even 70 to 80 million or more. But this isn't an auction, so the price will be much lower."
After hearing what he said, Zuo Ling understood:
"30 million. If you don't think that's enough, I'll find someone else."
The stones were all obtained for free; given Zuo Ling's mentality, selling them would be like making money off the ground.
Selling at a loss is fine, but if you're stuck with the stock, you'll lose even more.
Seeing her attitude that said, "Don't try to bargain with me, or I'll leave," I realized she was giving me the impression that she was going to walk away.
Master Ningcheng gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Fine, 30 million it is."
In reality, they were overjoyed.
What an idiot! Girl, you know what? You've really lost out.
Jade needs to be polished. What she saw was dark and unlit, so how could she tell anything good about it?
Zuo Ling judged the value of things based on what she saw through the window, which was obviously a disadvantage for her.
After leaving the Ningcheng jade shop, I found I had 30 million more in my account, and the balance was... 1 small goal.
Zuo Ling never imagined that she would have more and more money the more she spent.
The second shop was a jade shop run by people from Shanghai.
Similarly, with 40 pieces of jade, a similar scene of stone inspection is reproduced.
The difference is the selling price, which is 35 million.
With the previous deal worth 30 million, Zuo Ling's confidence soared, and she raised the price.
When the driver in Shanghai tried to lower the price, Zuo Ling turned and walked away, and the other party immediately agreed.
The third one is a jade shop in the capital.
Forty pieces of jade, similar stones, similar stone testing... something went wrong.
In the middle of the inspection, someone ran back into the shop from outside and whispered a few words in the shop owner's ear. The shop owner glanced at Zuo Ling expressionlessly.
Zuo Lingxian was extremely bored, stroking the rabbit's fur and feeding the gray rabbit pine nuts, and didn't notice the commotion over there.
After examining the stone, the shop owner smiled and said, "The stone is of good quality. How much would you like to sell it for, young lady?"
Zuo Ling raised her eyelids slightly, then raised the price: "40 million."
Although she doesn't know much about goods, she is good at calculating gains and losses. When the price is raised to a point that the shopkeeper can no longer afford, she can roughly estimate how much money she has been spending.
The shop owner's eyelids twitched. There are no secrets on Jade Street; everyone is keeping an eye on each other.
Zuo Ling's sale of 80 pieces of jade has already spread throughout the jade street, and almost everyone knows how much they cost.
30 million, 35 million, and then 40 million came to him. Does he think he's a sucker?
Although 40 million isn't expensive considering the quality of the stone, he wasn't willing to accept it.
Why can others buy it for 30 million, but I get 40 million? Are you taking advantage of my honesty?
Oh, young lady, you've misjudged me.
His eyes held a sinister glint, and his smile deepened.
"Alright, 40 million it is. But, young lady, I can only give you half in cash and half in gold."
Zuo Ling was surprised. Half cash, half gold? What did that mean?
40 million, that's a huge amount!
The shop owner rubbed his hands together, looking ashamed.
“We don’t have that much money in our account, and we haven’t had time to deposit it in the bank yet. You see, it’s getting late, and by the time we get to the bank, they’ll be closed. We have plenty of cash and gold in the shop, though.”
