Chapter 317 Earned 3 billion!
When Zhou Wansheng heard Gu Yin say this, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. Now was not the time to talk. He would wait until the bodyguard took the things away.
Zhou Wansheng looked at Zhang Yiren: "We can discuss this at the hotel later. It's too crowded here to talk things out."
Zhang Yiren understood, and seeing that there were still several stones in Gu Yin's basket, she smiled and asked, "Miss Zhou, would you like to cut more?"
Gu Yin didn't dwell on her way of addressing her and nodded: "I'll cut two more and then go back for dinner. I'll take the rest home and play with them myself."
Afterwards, Gu Yin had the cutting master cut out the two scraps, and naturally there was nothing left. The crowd, who had been looking forward to it, felt sorry for her. However, considering that Gu Yin's first stone had made a huge profit, it didn't matter whether there was any green jade in the later stones. She had already made a profit this time! A huge profit!
Back at the hotel, Zhou Wansheng asked Gu Yin and, knowing she didn't want to go down for dinner, had someone bring the food up.
After the meal, Zhou Wansheng had someone take the imperial green jadeite out of the safe.
Upon seeing it again, everyone in the room couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Ayin, do you want to keep this for yourself, or sell it to me? If you sell it to me, I'll buy it at the auction price." Zhou Wansheng actually didn't recommend that Gu Yin keep such an important item; it was too dangerous.
But this is Gu Yin's own property, and he has no right to make that decision. If Gu Yin insists on staying, then he can only hire some bodyguards for her.
Gu Yin wouldn't find it very useful to keep it herself, nor would she consider it a family heirloom. Besides, even if the remaining unopened stones weren't as good as this one, they were still very rare on the market right now!
"Keep it. If you're not opening a shop, you can make some jewelry to be the shop's prized possession." To have such good merchandise right from the start, this shop is already a huge success!
Zhou Wansheng raised his eyebrows: "You still have to pay. I can't just take your money for nothing, or your grandma will definitely divorce me! I've discussed this jade with the experts, and we can make at least 60 bracelets. The core material can be used to make safety buckles or other pendants, and the remaining small pieces can be used to make single-sided rings. After processing, the value will be around 15 billion. Grandpa is giving you the money, and you're already being very generous by giving me this as the store's prized possession!"
With good products, customers like Zhang Yiren will definitely patronize the business. Once they patronize the business, he can turn them into long-term customers! To be honest, he still took advantage of Ayin, but she is his own granddaughter, so it doesn't matter. In any case, these businesses will belong to the siblings in the future anyway.
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "If I really ask you for that much money, Grandpa and Grandma will definitely beat me! How about this, I'll take 3 billion, and after you make the finished products, you can give me 11 safety buckles, okay? I'll give one to each person in my family. As for you and Grandma, you can take whatever you want, since the things are all here with you anyway."
The extra one is reserved for Chu Yan.
"Ah Le, do you have any thoughts?" Zhou Wansheng looked at Gu Le, who was sitting quietly beside him.
Gu Le yawned and looked at Zhou Wansheng with a puzzled expression: "What could I possibly think? This isn't mine, it belongs to my older sister. I have no right to interfere. I have no thoughts, I just want to ask if I can take a nap, I'm so sleepy!"
With so much money, Gu Yin only took a small portion, and Gu Le didn't object at all. Not being blinded by these material possessions, Zhou Wansheng was even more grateful for the Gu family's upbringing of their children!
Zhou Wansheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, then let's do as Ayin said. I'll give you the money when we get back, and I'll send you the certificate once the finished product is made! Go take a nap, we still need to go look at the stones this afternoon!"
After waking up from her afternoon nap, Gu Yin followed the old man to the warehouse again.
This time, she didn't go alone, but followed the old man. After all, she had already bought what she needed to buy.
Because of the big news Gu Yin revealed in the morning, people surrounded them as soon as they entered the warehouse.
Zhou Wansheng raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then smiled and said, "We don't sell that material, but I have opened a jewelry store in Beijing. I will display the finished products made from the stone in the store later. Anyone who is interested can go and take a look! If you see anything you like, you can buy it! If you want to pre-order, you can contact my secretary. Now, I'm going to choose the material."
After saying that, he led Gu Yin and Gu Le towards the open-air food section.
The old man's secretary stayed behind to answer everyone's questions.
“If you see someone you like, you can go for it.” Zhou Wansheng looked at Gu Yin and Gu Le.
Gu Yin shook her head: "I'm not interested anymore. How many did you buy this morning?"
The old man shook his head: "I've only looked at a little bit. Choosing materials requires taking it slowly. You can't rush it. If you get impatient and poke something in the back, all your efforts will be wasted!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, and seeing that Gu Le was learning from Wu Ye's master, she did not go over to disturb her.
To be honest, she was quite interested in gambling on jade at first, but now she's not as excited as she was when she first arrived. The joy of suddenly becoming rich is not as strong or lasting as the excitement she gets from solving a difficult problem. It seems she's not suited for business.
Gu Yin was getting a little bored listening to those technical terms.
Turning around, Gu Yin saw someone cutting stones not far away. She told Zhou Wansheng and went over to watch the excitement.
The person cutting the stone was a foreigner. The stone was about the same size as the one Gu Yin had bought before. The foreigner told the stone cutter to take his time, just as Gu Yin had instructed.
However, even after cutting two-thirds of it, there was still no sign of green appearing.
The man was sweating with nervousness.
"Cut it in half!" the man shouted to the stone-cutting master, wiping away his sweat.
Upon hearing this, the stone cutter sliced the stone in half. After being washed by water, the separated stones remained stones.
Clearly, this person lost the bet.
The man plopped down on the ground, his eyes glazed over, and the people around him sighed in dismay at his appearance.
This person's expression clearly indicates that he is not wealthy. Even if a wealthy person or someone representing a company had lost a stone, they wouldn't look at him like this, as if the sky had fallen. His expression strongly suggests that he had risked all his family's wealth or borrowed money to gamble on getting rich overnight, only to make a bad mistake.
Gu Yin has no sympathy for such a person. If you dare to play these games, you should be prepared to be ruined in one fell swoop. If you can only enjoy the wealth of one fell swoop and cannot bear the poverty of one fell swoop, then you really deserve it!
Just as she was about to leave, Gu Yin saw Xue Wen leading Zhao Feifei and Zhao Tengfei, with the people around him pushing stones toward the stone-cutting area, presumably to have them cut.
Gu Yin stood out in the crowd without being too conspicuous, so she didn't leave, wanting to see how high the green content of the stones Xue Wen bought was.
The Xue family was determined to go to Myanmar. They hired the best jade gambling masters in the country in order to open up the overseas market.
After clearing a space, Xue Wen allowed his own stone-cutting master to cut the stone, which was also permitted.
The first stone yielded a hibiscus-type jadeite, with a bluish-green color, but it wasn't pure. This quality wasn't worth much, but at least it produced some green, so it was a good start.
The Xue family members' expressions turned serious, while the master who had come with them remained expressionless.
The stones that followed successively yielded glutinous, icy, and bean-like varieties. They even found a glutinous-icy variety with spring colors. The master craftsman was truly skilled, as it had an 80% chance of yielding green. Although the texture and water content weren't the best, it wasn't bad either.
After all the puzzles were solved, everyone in the Xue family wore smiles, which was enough to prove that they had made a profit on this trip.
