Chapter 5: Hoarding Jade Jade Jade
A group of people stood outside the warehouse door, looking at each other, with a look of anger as if they had been fooled.
At this time, the lights in the warehouse had been turned on. The dim light illuminated the entire warehouse. There was nothing inside. How could there be any raw stones? !
"How could that woman, a living person, disappear out of thin air? Even if she ran away, what about those jadeite stones? The ones she bought weighed more than four tons, how could they disappear with her?! Fourth Brother, are you kidding us?!"
The man nicknamed Lao Si was shocked and frightened when he heard the leader's questioning. He began to wonder if he had seen a ghost or if his memory was confused.
Where are the people?
What about living people?
And the several-ton stone...
He personally helped with the moving in the evening, and has been standing guard outside the warehouse ever since?!
The fourth brother stammered and was unable to defend himself. The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed. The hairs on his body stood up, a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he felt a little chilly around him.
"Brother, there is a ventilation hole in the warehouse. Could the woman have escaped from there?" The partner who was called to investigate came back jogging.
"Impossible. If the person escaped from the vent, then where are the rough stones? Could she have escaped from the vent with so many rough stones?!"
Upon hearing this, the leader rejected it outright.
He is now certain that it was the fourth brother who lied.
"Old Four, you'd better think about how to explain it to your boss when you get back later!"
The fourth one...
I really feel that Dou E was not as wronged as I am!
Afterwards, the group of people returned empty-handed with a lot of anger in their hearts.
About half an hour later.
Jiang Rong felt that there was no movement outside, so he slowly jumped out of the vent, then patted his clothes. The pipe was full of dust.
The lights in the warehouse were still on and the iron door was wide open.
Jiang Rong didn't care. She just found a dark place, changed into a clean coat, made her bed on the floor and went to sleep.
I guess I will have to be busy all day tomorrow, so it is necessary to conserve my energy.
The next morning, at the same time as yesterday, Jiang Rong took a taxi again and headed straight to the raw stone field.
Because her clothes were dirty yesterday, she wore a long white horn button cotton coat today, a black long skirt inside, a black knitted hat on her head, and silver-rimmed glasses in her eyes, exuding a youthful and literary atmosphere.
Although his face was covered by a mask, one could tell from his appearance that he was definitely not very old, perhaps twenty at most.
Jiang Rong followed a group of tourists into the venue.
I spent a whole day yesterday shopping in the 100-yuan, 1,000-yuan, and less than 10,000-yuan areas.
Today, only the Zhongwan District and the Dawan District are left.
The prices for the remaining two areas are 40,000-69,999 and 70,000-99,999 respectively.
This price is already quite high for ordinary people.
Usually tourists just go in to look around and rarely make any real purchases.
Otherwise, if you lose one dollar, it would be tens of thousands.
For this reason, there are far fewer people shopping in these two districts than in other districts, and the environment is also of a different level, with elegant and refined decorations everywhere.
There are four styles of elegant rooms for you to choose from: plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
The sizes of the raw stones vary from large to small. The big ones can be as tall as a person, while the small ones may only be the size of a pigeon egg.
Jiang Rong walked around the two areas separately. Although the space here was much smaller than the other areas and the number of raw stones was only a few thousand pieces, the quality was much better than that of other areas.
The quality that Jiang Rong was talking about was the probability that these rough stones could produce jadeite. At a glance, she saw that it was almost one-third.
However, it is difficult to say the quality of the jade in these raw stones.
After Jiang Rong walked around and got a general idea of what was going on, he walked out and returned to the Xiaowan area where he had visited yesterday.
That is the price range of 19999-39999.
The three areas of Xiaowan District, Zhongwan District and Dawan District each have a window where the raw stones are revealed.
A windowed raw stone means that a surface or a cut has been opened on the raw stone, which allows people to intuitively know that there is indeed jade inside, but no one knows the specific situation of the entire raw stone, which is a bit like gambling.
Open now means that you must open it on the spot after you buy it.
This is quite exciting for both buyers and onlookers, and is also an attractive gimmick.
A windowed rough stone in the small Wan District costs 100,000 yuan a piece. A piece in the medium Wan District costs 150,000 yuan a piece. A piece in the large Wan District costs 200,000 yuan a piece. Whether you can win depends on luck.
Jiang Rong's current deposit balance is just over 100,000 yuan.
Jiang Rong looked at the hundreds of window-cut raw stones in front of him. Only two of them were good. The others could also be cut, but their quality was relatively poor.
The only two good pieces among the hundred pieces were a spherical ice-type red jadeite with a diameter of 30 cm and a palm-sized high-ice-type violet jadeite.
Both pieces are worth a lot of money.
Take bracelets as an example.
A glass bracelet usually costs more than 800,000 yuan.
High ice grade jade is 500,000 to 1,000,000.
The price of genuine ice type is between 100,000 and 500,000.
Glutinous ice type, 50,000-100,000.
Next are glutinous varieties, glutinous varieties, oily green varieties, and bean varieties.
The prices decrease gradually.
Therefore, Jiang Rong conservatively estimated that the total price of these two pieces of jade should be about 30 to 40 million. This should be enough for her to buy later, at least enough for the mid-ten thousand area.
The first piece that Jiang Rong chose was the high ice-type violet jadeite.
This piece alone should be worth several million.
However, before she had time to signal to the staff, a female voice as sweet as a silver bell sounded beside her.
"Don't choose this one. This piece of pine flowers only has the cluster on the top. There is a high probability that there is no jade in it."
Xiao Chu's family is a jade family, and her grandfather is a leading figure in this field. Today, she finally persuaded her grandfather to go out with her to visit the venue, and then she saw a girl about her age choosing window-cut rough stones. However, she saw that the girl was dressed in ordinary clothes, and her family conditions should be very ordinary. If she loses money, she will be scolded when she returns home, right?
Thinking of this, she stepped forward and reminded him subconsciously without further hesitation.
The old man standing behind her had white hair and was wearing a Zhongshan suit. He was leaning on a shiny and smooth mahogany cane and was looking at his granddaughter with peaceful eyes.
Afterwards, they were followed by a group of bodyguards in black, all of whom were tall and mighty, with an intimidating aura.
After that, many passers-by also looked over here, with curiosity in their eyes, and then slowly approached.
"Hey, hey, is there anyone who wants to buy window-cut rough stones?"
"Tsk, if I remember correctly, those stones were placed here last year, right?"
"Who is so stupid as to buy the ones with windows?"
"I guess I'll lose everything."
"Nine times out of ten, if she opens the window, she will lose money. Unless she buys all of them at once, she might win one or two. But if the quality is not good, she will lose money, a lot of money."
Jiang Rong turned around to look at the girl, while listening to the passers-by's loud and unconcealed discussions, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
However, she knew that the girl had no ill intentions. She was simply afraid that she would suffer a loss, so she spoke out to remind her in a friendly manner.
So she politely responded: "Thank you, but I like this one and would like to open it."
Xiao Chu...
Why doesn't this person listen to advice?
Still don’t believe in your ability to identify rough stones? !
She was born into a jade family, so her ability to identify raw stones is absolutely on point!!!
"You will definitely have to pay for this. It's worth 100,000 yuan. Won't you be scolded when you go home if you pay so much?" Xiao Chu was often scolded at home and could empathize with this.
"No, thank you for your concern." Jiang Rong replied patiently.
Then he told the service staff next to him that he wanted to open the purple one.
After hearing this, the waiter immediately called out the stone cutter. The stone cutter was in his fifties and looked surprised when he came out.
No one has chosen to buy these freshly opened ones for several years.
Seeing this, Xiao Chu stomped his feet in dissatisfaction, feeling that he was being looked down upon.
She doesn't believe in herself!!!
This is simply outrageous.
"Grandpa, what do you think of that stone?" Although Xiao Chu was a little unhappy, the upbringing he had developed since childhood was still there, and he finally returned to his grandfather helplessly.
Xiao Zhen's eyes fell on the jadeite rough stone that had been taken by the stone cutter. He looked at it for a while before replying, "The probability of opening it is not high."
After Xiao Chu heard this!!!
He immediately took two steps forward.
"Why don't you think about it again? My grandfather is an expert in this field, a top-notch expert. He just said that the chances of your stone opening up are slim!"
"Is that Mr. Xiao? Oh my God, why is he here?"
"He is a leading figure in our field."
“I didn’t expect to see the real person here today.”
"Since Old Master Xiao has said so, the girl will most likely lose everything. There is no hope at all."
"Little girl, you should listen to advice. Mr. Xiao will definitely not lie to you."
The spectators who gradually gathered around also began to speak enthusiastically.
After all, we already know the result, so why waste the money?
Jiang Rong glanced at the people around him. Although he knew they all meant well, he was unwilling to explain further.
There are so many people, I have to explain them one by one...
Jiang Rong thought, just forget it.
Seeing is believing, just wait until the jade comes out.
At this moment, the stone cutting master also stopped his actions. Based on his personal experience of more than 30 years, he also felt that the probability of finding jadeite from this raw stone was not high, or even very small.
Seeing that the girl was very young and dressed in ordinary clothes, he was reminded of his granddaughter who was studying abroad. He didn't want to cheat her anymore, so he stopped what he was doing.
"Little girl, the probability of this piece being able to be opened is indeed very small. Are you sure you want to buy it?" the stone cutter asked again and again.
Jiang Rong nodded.
"Open it, Master."
Xiao Chu...
He stomped his feet in frustration, then returned to his grandfather unhappily.
Xiao Zhen shook his head when he saw this. His granddaughter had good character, but she had this temper and was still a little impatient.
At this time, more and more people came to the not-so-big Xiaowan District, and they gathered in several circles inside and outside, all of them coming to watch the fun.
It’s so fun to open it live.
Some people have even started placing bets at this point, but they don’t know whether the lottery can be opened or not.
However, most people bet on it not being able to open it.
Rational people would think it was impossible, because this was a window? The girl opened it once she thought about it, and it was glass-type violet jadeite... It was nothing short of a fool's dream.
It's fine if you're just playing around, but if you really want to get rich overnight, it's indeed a bit unrealistic.
