Yan Yueqing transmigrated into a book, becoming an 18th-tier cannon fodder in a baby variety show. The female lead became hugely popular through the show, while the cannon fodder, with her 'sim...
His face was still cold and looked like a piece of black iron, but his frown had relaxed a little.
"So you are the boss of Manchang. Hello, my name is Chen Luo, and everyone in this area calls me Brother Luo."
"Hello, Brother Luo." Seeing that he was quite old, Yan Yueqing followed Du Manchang in calling out.
Chen Luo nodded: "Ms. Yan, this is a newly mined raw stone mine. It is not as old as other mines, but the market saturation is not that high, and the price is relatively cheaper..."
The raw stone mine and the raw stone market are never too far apart, but after the stones mined from the mine are brought to the market, the pricing power is in the hands of the merchants who sell the stones.
The market size of new mines is quite small now, not as big as other markets, and for this reason, there are not so many local tyrants here. Whether it is pricing or buying price, it will not be too excessive.
The raw stones that the Du family bought this year were not very good. Most of the stones that came out were mosses, and there was almost no good jade.
Mr. Du plans not to buy raw stones for the time being and to do some second-line business.
But the profits from gambling on stones are huge. After the board is opened, it is easy to tell whether it is stone or jade, and the price fluctuations will not be too large, so they naturally cannot make much money.
Chen Luo's father is from Country T. He has been in the raw stone business since he was a child. He was influenced by his father and has been working in the raw stone industry since he grew up.
As he walked, he introduced to Yan Yueqing: "Our jade here is divided into three lines. The first line is raw stone, the second line is plate, and the third line is processing. Miss Yan, do you usually pay attention to the jade market?"
Chen Luo heard from Du Manchang that the person who invested in the Du family was a newcomer who had never been involved in the jade industry before.
Yan Yueqing nodded: "I know a little bit, but not much."
"It's okay, I'll tell you in detail so you don't get cheated in the future."
Chen Luo is a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart. Since he was one of Du Manchang's own people, he spoke without reservation.
"The first-line ones are people like me, who are responsible for purchasing raw stones. For jade, not only are the stones mined in different mines different, but even the quality of the stones mined from the same stone is often completely different. However, some pits produce good stones, and it is easy to get good ones. Especially for stones from the same batch, buried at the same depth underground, the year of formation is almost certain..."
"For example, in the rough stone market in Beiman, most of their rough stones are transported from the Yinkou Mine and the Haihe Mine, where the materials are very mixed... But the rough stone market in Ximan controls the entire Bliss Mine, where most of the jade is produced... This market is next to the new mine, and the materials have not been determined yet. Some people who come here win and some lose..."
"Recently, my buddy told me that a great piece of stone was unearthed. The stone was in excellent condition, but it was too big to be priced, so it could only be sold at an auction."
Then he pointed somewhere and said, "Look, that's the stone."
Everyone looked over there.
A stone weighing nearly half a ton and much taller than Chen Luo came into view.
Jun Yan exclaimed, "What a big stone."
In the market, smaller ones can be placed on the table, but larger ones can only be placed on the ground.
This stone is the largest and most valuable in the market, so the market has set aside a separate area for it.
At this time, a dozen people were surrounding the stone, looking up and down.
Some people held magnifying glasses, some held lights, and they all wished they had a pair of X-ray eyes to see everything inside clearly.
"Old Xiao, look at this moss belt, it's pine green and has a clear shape, and the concave moss belt is very easy to spray color! Didn't you shoot a piece of this kind of stone last time, and ended up getting an ice-type stone out of it?"
"Just talking about the ones that are rising, there are also many that are losing money under the moss belt! If you ask me, it's still not as safe as this small piece of dead moss! The loose flowers on its edge are of many colors, and there are many high-quality water underneath, and often accompanied by floating blue flowers... Lao Xiao, how about we buy it together? I want this piece!"
"Damn! We can buy the raw stone together, but when did it become a rule to cut a piece for you alone? I say, Old Meng, you really know how to take advantage. If the price goes up when you cut it, you want all the profits. If you lose money when you cut it, will you only give me the money for this piece?"
Lao Meng had a dark face: "I will follow the increase in compensation!"
Everyone was discussing lively, and when they saw Chen Luo bringing people over, they obviously knew his importance here and made way for him.
"Brother Luo, are you here to see this stone too?"
"Xiao Du is here too?"
"Who are these two?"
Yan Yueqing greeted them with a smile: "Hello, I heard that a powerful stone was found here, so we came here to see it."
Lao Meng likes beautiful jade and beautiful women.
Seeing such a beautiful girl like Yan Yueqing, he couldn't help but step forward and say, "Welcome, welcome, it's so lively here."
As he said this, he became horny and wanted to hold her hand.
Jun Li stood in front of him calmly, distant and indifferent: "No need."
Two words, full of aura.
Even the two little ones looked cold.
The father and his two sons all had black faces, and their imposing manner was very intimidating!
Lao Meng didn't know who he was, but he was frightened by his aura. He withdrew his hands and took a few steps back in dismay.
A ragged sneer came from behind him, clearly mocking his arrogance.
Chen Luo was very unhappy. After all, Yan Yueqing was someone he brought here. Old Meng's behavior was really too much!
"Meng, just look at the rocks. If you look around, I'll punish you!"
Jun Li's momentum was enough to make him feel bad, and after hearing what Chen Luo said, Lao Meng felt even more guilty.
He originally thought that the beautiful girl was a playmate brought by the other party, but he didn't expect that her identity was quite important and everyone was so protective of her.
"Haha, it's just a joke, don't mind it."
Old Meng knew when to stop.
The topic turned to stones again.
Yan Yueqing didn’t know much about the jade industry, and was even more confused about the raw stones!
She only knew that gambling on raw stones was popular in the world. One cut could make you rich or poor, and whether the stone would increase in value or lose money when cut often brought about huge ups and downs in her mood. The charm of it was much more satisfying than buying stones by herself.
Jun Li seemed to be quite knowledgeable in this area, staring at the huge rock in front of him with sharp eyes.
Jun Yan whispered to Yan Wang, "Brother, this stone is so big. Do you think there is a high chance of getting jade?"
"I don't know much about the rough stone industry." Yan Wang explained gently to his brother, "But I have heard that the probability of finding jade has nothing to do with the size of the stone. Except for 10% that can be judged by professionals, the rest is up to fate."
Jun Yan said, "If only I had X-ray vision, I would be able to see the condition of the jade inside."
Yan Wang smiled when he heard this: "How is that possible?"
Jun Yan stuck out his tongue mischievously: "I know it's impossible, it's just a thought!"
Yan Yueqing's heart suddenly moved when she heard them talking.
"System, system, do we have something that can see through rocks?" (End of this chapter)
