Su Ran went to collect her monthly salary but was unexpectedly shortchanged by her manager? For Su Ran, she simply quit on the spot, considering the withheld wages as a down payment for his coffin!...
Inside the room, Zhou Aixu asked the master craftsman to bring out the stone-cutting tools. He then went over and carefully examined the large stone that Su Ran had so strongly insisted on removing. He was indeed curious about what was inside it.
Jiang Zhi also became interested, after all, this was the first time he had seen Su Ran make such a request, which meant that the price of this material would rise significantly?
But after looking around at it, he muttered, "This stone doesn't seem special at all. Could it really yield anything good?"
Jiang Zhi was indeed a little puzzled, after all, he didn't understand the ins and outs of gambling on stones, so looking at this seemingly unremarkable stone, he was completely baffled.
Without saying anything more, Su Ran pointed to the large rock in front of her and said, "Since we've already bought it, let's just cut it open and see what it's like."
"Which part are you looking at? I'd like to take a look too!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and the person who came was Wu Ye, the mine owner.
"Grandpa," Jiang Zhi called out when he saw the person who had arrived.
Wu smiled and agreed, then looked at the stones in the room. "Shipping King Zhou brought in a lot of good stuff tonight. Which one are you planning to cut now?"
Zhou Aixu pointed to the large glutinous rice stone.
Wu Ye looked in the direction the finger was pointing, his expression somewhat complicated. "Brother Zhou, why did you spend money to buy this piece of junk? Do you think people worth hundreds of millions would buy jewelry worth tens of thousands to wear? Or are you planning to venture into the low-to-mid-end industry, Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Aixu smiled and shook her head. "I don't believe in this stone, but I believe in this little girl. My intuition tells me that this stone, which everyone looks down on, will produce a good one. Didn't we see that before?"
Upon hearing this, Wu seemed to recall the stone that everyone had previously underestimated, but which Su Ran eventually bought and found to contain a large piece of imperial green.
Thinking of this, Wu didn't say anything, afraid of being embarrassed.
And so, I began to learn about Shi's work. Fortunately, the bathroom was large, so it was easy and effortless to put down this big guy.
Otherwise, they would have to take this big guy down to have it cut into stones.
Su Ran stood quietly to the side, waiting for the results. Because it was a clear material and it already contained green, the master craftsman had a plan in mind when cutting the stone, so Su Ran didn't need to keep an eye on him and tell him how to cut the stone.
During her free time, Jiang Zhi had room service bring up a meal, and it was just her and Jiang Zhi at the table.
"Tell me about it?"
Jiang Zhi paused for a moment upon hearing the voice, then chuckled softly after realizing what Su Ran had asked, “I do have some connection with Old Master Zhou.”
Jiang Zhi then declined to elaborate on the matter and began recounting his past.
"Xiao Ran, do you think I had any way out back then?"
Su Ran picked up some food and said, "Jiang Zhi, you once said that you had no way out."
Jiang Zhi smiled upon hearing this.
yes.
He had nowhere to retreat.
The surroundings were so quiet, except for the crisp sound of machines colliding with rocks nearby.
On the other side, Zhou Aixu and Wu Ye sat on the sofa chatting, preparing to see what they could get from this piece of material.
Wu seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhou Aixu, "Brother Zhou, there's a banquet tomorrow night, do you want to go and take a look? If you want to go, we can go to the premium ingredients section tomorrow morning, or have you already bought enough?"
Wu was unsure of Zhou's thoughts, so he wanted to ask for a general idea.
When Zhou Aixu heard Wu Ye's words, he knew that the top-tier material area required a net worth of at least one billion to enter. For him, entering would be very easy, but he didn't know if the two juniors would be interested.
He came here to look at stones and planned to take some good things back with him. After thinking it over, he said, "I have bought enough stones today, but I don't know how many good ones will be cut out from these stones, and I don't know anything about the quality of the stones after they are cut out."
"I can still check out the top-quality material section tomorrow and buy some more high-quality materials so I can open a business in Hong Kong later."
After all, there are quite a few wealthy people in Hong Kong, too many to count, and he had heard about the jewelry and jade that rich women love most.
After listening, Wu nodded, "Alright, I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow morning. Just go directly to the top-tier material area. Brother Zhou should have already met with the people coming tomorrow, so..."
Before Wu Ye could finish speaking, a surprised voice rang out, "My God! Such top-grade tricolor jadeite! Red, green, and purple—these three colors represent the highest level of fortune, prosperity, and longevity! Moreover, it has a fine, smooth texture and is completely free of any impurities! This piece is simply amazing!"
The sound came from the bathroom, and the two people who were still talking immediately stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi looked at Su Ran with disbelief. "Little Su Su, are you really a prophet?"
Instead of giving a direct answer, Su Ran asked, "Why don't we go take a look?"
The two arrived quite late.
Upon seeing the top-grade jade on the bathroom floor, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The entire stone hasn't been completely cut open yet. But a large piece has already been cut out, with colors ranging from green to red to purple, layer upon layer. The cut material has vibrant colors and a fine texture, captivating even those who know nothing about jade.
Wu Ye's eyes lit up as he looked at the large piece of material. He touched it and said with great affection, "Such a fine piece of material, it will be absolutely beautiful to make a God of Wealth or an Old Man of Longevity!"
Thinking of this, Wu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Tsk tsk, such a good piece of Fu Lu Shou, I didn't expect everyone to misjudge it. Even I, the mine owner, was wrong. Such a top-quality piece should have been placed in the premium material area."
Although Wu Ye said it was a pity, his clear eyes showed no trace of regret.
Having been a mine owner for so many years, I've made countless mistakes, but I never expected to make two mistakes in one day.
Therefore, Wu Ye looked at Su Ran with a puzzled expression.
Is this girl really that amazing?
How come it seems like it's always accurate?
Is that amazing?
As Zhou Aixu listened to Wu Ye's words, he was surprised that the little girl had such sharp eyes, and he was even more surprised that the poor quality glutinous rice seed would give him such a big surprise.
If this top-quality material is handed over to a top-notch carver for carving, the finished product will be no less valuable than the original Imperial Green jade. Moreover, by buying low and selling high, this material will truly be a huge profit!
Wu looked at the material in front of him with some envy. After all, the auspicious meanings of Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿, meaning fortune, prosperity, and longevity) are very good in northern Myanmar. However, this kind of material is rare, and the red, green, and purple Fu Lu Shou is even rarer. In recent years, there has really been no such top-quality Fu Lu Shou material in northern Myanmar.
Wu rubbed his hands together, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Zhou Aixu. He had a favor to ask, but he didn't know...
The old shipping magnate immediately sensed something was wrong!
