Chapter 25 Ten million, betting on your vision
"Mediocre, unproductive people are just commonplace. Miss Jiang, despite being mediocre, comforts herself that being ordinary is precious. She even immerses herself in her own world. She claims that appearances don't tell the whole story, but in the eyes of others, you're actually worse than an animal!"
She pointed at Gu Shengsheng and trembled with anger: "You..."
"What do you mean by 'I'? Put yourself in the right place as the granddaughter-in-law of the Lu family. Stop talking nonsense and don't take yourself too seriously."
After Gu Shengsheng said this, Jiang Xinyi was almost sober.
After all, she is the beloved daughter of a big family in Beijing. How can she be allowed to be bullied by others at this time?
"You don't know anything, and you really think you can hold the position of the eldest grandson's wife of the Lu family?"
Gu Shengsheng touched her chin and looked at the jewelry she dropped on the ground.
"Miss Jiang's jewelry is indeed valuable. That new Chinese-style hairpin is inlaid with kingfisher feathers, right? Imperial concubines during the Kangxi era often used this style. Your specially customized, modified one has a market value of around 300,000 yuan, but you bought it for 2 million."
"Hmm... and Miss Jiang's bracelet, it's inlaid with many pink diamonds. Do you really think pink diamonds are the most valuable? You've read too many domineering CEO novels and you really think you're the heroine of a novel from a famous family."
"Actually, sapphire is the most valuable." Gu Shengsheng pretended to explain science.
Then he picked up the pair of high heels and said, "These shoes are not bad, they are indeed a famous brand. But you, Miss Jiang, spent at least 700,000 more on them."
"How can a fool like you, who can't even figure out your own jewelry, come here to humiliate me? How can you be so busy and convincing? Miss Jiang, you just can't do anything right. Don't doubt it."
Jiang Xinyi frowned: "How can someone like you judge my things? It's dirty! I don't want it anymore."
"But Gu Shengsheng, you said some nonsense and pretended it was true. Do you think I would believe you?"
Lu Linlin said directly, "Isn't Miss Yang here? Sister Yang is a leader in the jewelry industry. Let her come and take a look, and you'll know."
"Don't frame my sister-in-law."
Miss Yang Jiao has never been on good terms with anyone, and usually never gets involved in these messy things.
I thought I would embarrass Lu Linlin, but she came out wearing white gloves and looked at the thing in her hand.
She said to Jiang Xinyi, "Ms. Jiang, you bought the jewelry yourself. You know it better than anyone else. Even what Madam Lu said is true."
After Yang Jiao finished speaking, she stood a little further away, looking very calm. Gu Shengsheng looked at her and smiled gratefully.
Jiang Xinyi, on the other hand, went crazy and wanted to punch and kick people, but was thrown to the ground by Gu Shengsheng over her shoulder.
Then he lay down and couldn't get up, and the Jiang family hurriedly sent someone to pick him up. He was completely embarrassed at the banquet.
After Jiang Xinyi left, several women started gossiping.
"Last time, Madam Lu also said that Gu Shengsheng was a swindler, always saying that other people's things were fake. He even bought a jade pendant to curry favor with Madam Lu."
"Now, you're still here to criticize Jiang Xinyi. She brought her sister-in-law with her. Isn't this bullying?"
"If you have the guts, come and appraise the bracelets on our hands?"
Gu Shengsheng walked over and said with a smile, "I can appraise the bracelet."
"The bracelets on the ladies' hands are all very expensive. The quality and water content are both excellent. Even if it is a poor item, it is still precious in your hands."
A few people laughed, feeling a little embarrassed, but seeing Gu Shengsheng say this, they felt a little more pleased.
One of them said arrogantly, "Don't try to curry favor with us. We've heard what Madam Lu said about your disrespect for elders. Do you think you can prove that you can identify bracelets in just a few words?"
"I just got a good thing from Rui City. Take a look at it." He said with confidence.
Gu Shengsheng smiled and agreed, feeling relieved. Her goal had been achieved. These ladies were so rich, who else could she make money from if not from them?
Gu Shengsheng said, "I can appraise, but I'm not doing it for free. Appraisers are rich, and even though I'm the young lady of the Lu family, I can't do it for free."
"Okay, those are all valuable items. I'm going to donate them to a museum for exhibition. If you can really identify them, I'll give you one million for each exhibit."
She was just talking casually. There was no way Gu Shengsheng would get the one million.
Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "Okay!"
Lu Linlin whispered, "This lady is Yang Jiao's stepmother, but she's not a good person. She's just waiting to eat your money to bring honor to the family."
"I guess she thinks her stepdaughter shouldn't help you, so she comes out to suppress you now. Sister-in-law, should I move out of our Lu family to bully others?"
"Although my mother is the only one supporting the family, we won't be bullied."
Gu Shengsheng squeezed her hand: "Don't worry, I can do it."
As he spoke, Gu Shengsheng was still a little surprised when he saw some of the ornaments.
One is a money tree made of jadeite, and the other more prominent one is a Qilin beast made of black jadeite.
Gu Shengsheng pointed at the black jade and asked, "How much did you buy it for?"
There are good materials for black jadeite, but most of them are dangerous materials and are the easiest to be cheated. Outsiders in this industry only know that the green material under the light is good.
Sure enough, the properties panel pops up:
Item: Black Jade Qilin Beast
Year: Unearthed in Myanmar
Specific description: Poor quality, 90% hazardous materials and waste, not even black jadeite, disguised as other black raw materials.
Market price: 40 yuan
Repurchase price: 3 yuan
Gu Shengsheng: ...Outrageous, it turns out that none of them are good people.
After she asked how much it cost, Yang Jiao's stepmother smiled and said, "What's the problem? I bought this for 10 million yuan, but I just brought it back from the war in Myanmar."
"There were all sorts of people fleeing there. I was at the Yunnan border at the time and met a lot of Burmese people. They even asked someone to show me this uncut jade! This kind of material is rare in the world. Ten million is really a steal."
Gu Shengsheng felt speechless after hearing this. This was a typical case of a person who was stupid but had a lot of money.
There's nothing you can do about being cheated by this kind of person. Who can act like a naive person at their age?
Do you buy something just because you see something like this? Do you really think you're getting a great bargain?
Gu Shengsheng looked at her like she was stupid. "Madam Yang, if someone bids more than thirty yuan for this thing, I lose."
After saying this, everyone around laughed!
Most people laughed at Gu Shengsheng's self-righteousness. Although Madam Yang was a woman, she had so much money after all. How could no one offer more than thirty yuan for something worth ten million?
This is too arrogant!
"But if I ask an expert, he can determine that this thing is worth no more than thirty yuan. Madam, are you willing to use this ten million as a bargaining chip?"
"Ten million, bet on your vision."
