Chapter 4: Hoarding Jade Jade Jade
After getting off the taxi, Jiang Rong stood outside the raw stone field for a while and observed the surrounding environment.
At this moment, there are many other taxis parked around here.
There are more people coming and going here recently, and there are sufficient customers. Most of these taxi drivers are waiting here for people who will leave soon.
After watching for a while, Jiang Rong followed the crowd into the meeting room on the first floor.
Her semi-long hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a white woolen hat on her head, covering her smooth white forehead. She also wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, which concealed the coldness in her almond-shaped eyes, making her look much softer.
In addition, most of her facial features were covered by a white mask. She wore a not-too-thick white down jacket on her upper body and a more casual pair of gray fleece sweatpants on her lower body, exuding a gentle temperament.
Because this jade raw material mine is legal and open, many local young people come to join in the fun when it opens every year. Some of those who are well-off will buy a few pieces of raw stones for a few hundred yuan to try their luck.
It's not expensive anyway, just buy it for fun. It's normal that nothing comes out of it. If some good kind of jade is really opened, it would be unprecedented.
Most tourists come with this mentality.
But according to previous cases, some people do have good luck... They only spent a few hundred dollars to buy a valuable glass-type blue flower jadeite rough stone.
According to rumors, the piece of jadeite is much larger than a basketball and is worth tens of millions.
Unfortunately, the extremely lucky koi tourist had just walked out of the venue with the raw stone when he was robbed by a group of unknown people. In the end, not only did he lose the raw stone, but he was also stabbed several times.
The people present at the time were still envious and jealous, imagining that they could become the next lucky person. They were secretly preparing themselves to buy a few more pieces later, just in case they got lucky.
Then the next second they were brought back to reality by the tragedy outside, and they left in a hurry either obediently or out of fear.
Since then, many people who come here wear masks to prevent others from seeing their faces.
In addition, in recent years, the system of raw stone fields has become increasingly perfect, and incidents of injuring people and stealing goods like before have basically not happened again.
However, this could also be because there hasn’t been a lucky person like the one before here for many years…
In short, Jiang Rong's current attire did not attract any special attention after he entered the first floor conference room.
She was just like any ordinary shopper or tourist here, wandering around the venue casually, seemingly aimlessly, with a clear look but a bit of confusion in her eyes.
Because it was so long ago, Jiang Rong had basically forgotten the specific layout of the first floor of the raw stone field.
Jiang Rong wandered around the venue for a long time before he found a distribution map of the first-floor venue.
According to the description on the distribution map, the ground floor venue covers an area as large as three football fields and is divided into nine areas in total.
The nine districts are Xiaobai, Zhongbai, Dabai, Xiaoqian, Zhongqian, Daqian, Xiaowan, Zhongwan and Dawan.
Xiaobai refers to raw stones with a price between 100-399 yuan, Zhongbai refers to raw stones with a price between 400-699 yuan, and Dabai refers to raw stones with a price between 700-999 yuan.
The prices for thousands and tens of thousands are similar.
Among them, Xiaobai is divided into three levels: 100-199 yuan, 200-299 yuan, and 300-399 yuan.
The same applies to the others.
Therefore, the first floor venue consists of 9 large partitions and 27 small partitions in total.
At this time, Jiang Rong's memory gradually returned, and she basically remembered where Xiaobai District was.
In the extreme south, and then going clockwise, prices increase from district to district.
After sorting out his thoughts, Jiang Rong walked straight towards Xiaobai District.
It took Jiang Rong about 15 minutes to walk about a quarter of the way from the entrance of the venue to the southernmost end.
Then enter the small 100 area, the price range of 100-199.
There is a lot of room here because the lower the price of the raw stone, the less likely it is to produce jadeite. There are more of this type of jade and the more space they occupy.
The raw stones priced between 100 and 199 are basically only the size of a fist, and hundreds of thousands of them are neatly arranged in various areas.
This is also the area with the most tourists.
Fortunately, the pedestrian passage here is quite spacious. In addition, it is still early, so there are not too many people and there is no crowding.
Jiang Rong couldn't see anything hidden inside these stones with his naked eyes.
So she reached into the pocket of her down jacket and grasped the jade talisman that she had placed in it early in the morning. A moment later, she felt her eyes became much clearer.
Then she looked at the raw stones that looked almost the same, and sure enough, she saw a few traces of air of different colors and brightness floating on some of the raw stones.
However, there may be only one genuine stone among ten thousand raw stones.
Later, Jiang Rong bought a total of eight raw stones in the price range of 100-199.
There are five fist-sized ones and three palm-sized ones.
Among them, there is a glass-type spring-colored piece, with a little purple and a little green, two pieces of glutinous-type clear-bottom jadeite, which is opaque blue, two pieces of oily green jadeite, with a dark green luster and three pieces of bean-type jadeite.
These cost Jiang Rong a total of 1,347 yuan.
However, in reality, among the jadeite raw stones she bought, the price of the glass-type spring-colored jade alone was at least one million yuan.
In this industry, one cut can make you poor or rich, and that's not just talk.
Jiang Rong bought a total of 30 pieces of raw stones out of the hundreds of thousands of raw stones in Xiaobai District.
Five of them are glass-type jadeite.
After that is the Zhongbai area, with 27 pieces of raw stones.
40 pieces of raw stones in Dabai District.
The jadeite raw stones from these three areas are basically the same size, and the largest one is about the size of a basketball.
After buying these 97 raw stones of different sizes, Jiang Rong spent a total of more than 55,000 yuan.
After searching the entire 100-yuan area, it was around noon. Jiang Rong deposited the raw stones in the private storage area of the venue, paid the required rent of 100, and left.
Continue to search the thousand-yuan area.
Although the jade raw material mine will remain open for a month, she still wants to work as fast as possible as there are still many things that have not been prepared.
Buy early and run away early.
After that, other customers in the thousand-yuan area watched Jiang Rong buy thousands of yuan without blinking an eye...
Everyone looked at her as if she were a fool.
Who would buy raw stones like this? Do you have too much money and don’t know where to spend it?
In the 100-yuan area in the morning, even if she bought nearly a hundred pieces of raw stones, the total amount would only be a few tens of thousands of yuan, which was not eye-catching.
But in the afternoon, there were 52 blocks in Xiaoqian District, 83 blocks in Zhongqian District, and 102 blocks in Daqian District.
The higher the price, the more people buy...
These total more than 1.365 million.
But this is not the key point. The key point is that she has no intention of stopping and continues to go to the 10,000 yuan area!!!
The people around her watched her buy so crazily, and without much thought, they just took a quick look and asked the service staff beside them to take it out.
Which rich lady is this, using money as paper to play with...
The onlookers all thought to themselves.
But it doesn't look like that. Judging from his attire, not a single piece of clothing on him is branded. He even didn't bother to replace the canvas shoes on his feet until they were washed white.
If this is really a child from a wealthy family, then he is really low-key...
But seeing the way she bought the raw stones, everyone thought that she was just a stupid person with a lot of money.
Jiang Rong walked around the Xiaowan area under the gazes from all directions and bought a total of 148 rough stones for a total of 3.64 million.
The people around them all shook their heads.
This little girl will probably lose her life.
With the way she casually looked and bought things, no one really thought she could buy anything good.
There are at least 100,000 rough stones in this small area. If she can get lucky and buy a real one, that would be great...
Jiang Rong didn't care what others thought. As long as she knew clearly whether the raw stones were good or bad, that was enough.
And such attitude of those people was actually beneficial to her.
Jiang Rong looked at the people around him who were shaking their heads and sighing, and the looks of "you're going to lose everything, little girl" in their eyes, and he felt very satisfied.
She felt that the more people she had to compensate, the fewer people would covet her batch of raw stones, and the safer her precious jade raw stones would be.
At this point, Jiang Rong only had about 100,000 yuan left in her pocket. She didn't have much money left, so she prepared to pack up and go back home, and come back tomorrow.
Jiang Rong spent a total of about 5 million here today, which makes him a considerable customer.
After all, this is the first floor, not the second floor where you have to dig deep.
Compared with these people on the first level alone, she is already qualified to enjoy VIP exclusive services.
Safe home delivery service.
Two black sedans in front and behind escorted her precious rough stones.
In the middle is a large truck loaded with raw stones.
There are a total of 482 raw stones of different sizes, qualities and varieties.
All the raw stones were safely delivered back to the warehouse she rented without missing a single one.
The people from the rough stone mine delivered the goods and then left.
Jiang Rong closed the door of the warehouse and turned on the dim lights. Within a few seconds, she had collected all the raw stones piled up on the ground into the space.
And during this entire day, she did not show her face to anyone else.
Jiang Rong hadn't eaten for almost the entire day and was now starving.
She took out a bowl of fragrant, still hot, fried noodles with chopped green onions and shredded pork from the space and ate it voraciously.
After finishing the meal, he opened a can of yellow peaches and chewed them slowly.
Half an hour later, the lights in the warehouse went out.
In the middle of the night, outside the remote and quiet warehouse, more than a dozen tall and strong figures appeared one after another.
Those people were agile and moved quickly and orderly. Their faces were all covered with turbans and almost all of them had weapons in their hands.
Only one person out of a dozen people knows how to pick a lock.
The other dozen people were standing guard, waiting quietly.
The person who opened the lock was very fast. It took only about two or three minutes. With a mechanical click, the lock of the door was broken.
Then the four people at the back stepped forward together and slowly opened the ten-meter-long door.
After the iron door was opened, the bright moonlight outside suddenly shone into the warehouse.
But now it was empty inside.
"Empty?" The leader turned around and questioned the person who had just opened the lock.
"I... I clearly delivered all the raw stones into this warehouse today, and I have been guarding outside just now, and no one has gone out of this warehouse!!!" The masked man who opened the lock looked stunned.
