Volume 1, Chapter 72: Gambling Stones

Zhan's Group

Zhan Yanxun seemed to be handling the company's affairs, but he was very unhappy in his heart. That woman deliberately gave him a lot of tests in the hospital, and he was so angry that he had to be discharged from the hospital. After he was discharged, she was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, ignoring him as if nothing had anything to do with her!

Zhan Yanxun was very angry. At this time, Qiao Weiwei came in and said, "Boss Zhan, the jade auction is about to start. We have to set off now."

"The jade auction has been cancelled."

Zhan Yanxun was getting more and more upset the more he thought about it, and he had no intention of attending the jade auction. He wanted to go find that leisurely woman.

When Qiao Weiwei heard that Zhan Yanxun was not going to the jade auction, she became anxious instantly.

How could this be possible? She bribed Mr. Qin's assistant to give him some information, and also wanted to take the opportunity to show off in front of Zhan Yanxun.

How will she react if Xun doesn't go to the war banquet?

Qiao Weiwei said anxiously, "Boss Zhan, Mr. Qin's assistant from the Jade Association said that Mr. Qin has been waiting for you for a long time."

Mr. Qin from the Jade Association is a highly respected person. He watched Zhan Yanxun grow up, and Zhan Yanxun has always respected Mr. Qin.

"Ready to go."

Qiao Weiwei was very happy to hear Zhan Yanxun's words. Today she wanted to perform well in front of Zhan Yanxun.

Jiang Qiansui's Office

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think of this sample?"

"The jade is of good quality, but the color is not good enough. Can you tell me if they have imperial green jade?"

"Boss Jiang, I've asked the purchasing department, and they say Imperial Green is extremely scarce."

Jiang Qiansui fell into deep thought. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Imperial Green is not rare, it's just not discovered. I'll take you to see it."

"Mr. Jiang, where are you taking me?"

"Jade auction."

Jiang Qiansui remembered that there was a large jade auction today, and in her previous life, she had produced top-quality imperial green jade.

Let her pick up leaks and make money in this life.

Jade auction site.

The jade auction site is divided into three areas. The western area is for the much-anticipated rough materials, jade rough materials and jade raw materials.

Each booth was crowded with people, most of whom were investors or processors. In recent years, the price of jadeite has continued to rise. In addition to investors and jewelry processors, it has also attracted many people with funds to hoard raw materials and sell them when the market rises sharply to make a fortune.

"Boss Jiang, what are those people doing with flashlights looking at these stones?"

"Those people and their flashlights are trying to see if they can get green."

At this time, Hu Yi, a jadeite rough stone merchant, saw Jiang Qiansui and said with a smile, "Two beautiful ladies, are you new to the industry?"

Hu Yi looked like he was going to ask them to pay for the tuition, and Jiang Qiansui asked, "How did you know?"

"The lady just now said that these are stones, which are called rough stones in the industry. And this industry emphasizes first come first served. You can't intervene when others are still looking at them. This lady squeezed in next to others to look at them as soon as she came in."

When Zhao Youling heard what Hu Yi said, her face became even more embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. It's fate that you came to my booth. Let me tell you a little bit. There is no machine that can detect the inside of jadeite rough stone. So no one knows whether there is jadeite inside a rough stone or what the grade of the jadeite is without cutting it open. As the saying goes, one cut can make you rich or poor, so buying rough stone is called gambling with stones."

Zhao Youling had never been to a gambling site, and she felt curious and excited.

"I saw some stones... jadeite on the rough material, and some were black. Can't I just buy the ones with jadeite?"

"The green you see is called half-bet. Half-bet means I cut a little bit of the rough material, called opening a window, or grind off a little of the outer skin, called polishing the stone. Regardless of opening a window or polishing the stone, the purpose is to let the rough material reveal green, which will naturally attract people. The price of this half-bet will be higher than the price of the one without opening a window or polishing the skin. Moreover, the buyer has to judge the quality of the jade in the rough material, how many colors it has, and to what extent the quality of the jade is based on the exposed green. For example, this piece."

Hu Yi picked up a stone and said, "This stone has green on the cut. It looks good when you shine a light on it. Generally, the quality and color of jadeite is best near the center of the stone, but it is also possible that nothing will be left after a cut, like going back to the days before liberation. So you have to make your own judgment. In the jade gambling business, luck and vision are both important."

Zhao Youling said in surprise: "You mean, this little bit of green, maybe this is all I see on this stone."

"It's entirely possible that it contains glass."

Jiang Qiansui looked at the jeweler in front of her and felt that he looked familiar.

In his previous life, a piece of glass appeared on his stall, which is the one he has in his hand.

"How much do you sell this stone for?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"What? This piece of broken stone is sold for two hundred thousand!"

Zhao Youling cried out in surprise, then shut up immediately after that.

She yelled too loudly. Jiang Qiansui took the rough stone from Hu Yi and said, "I want this one."

When Zhao Youling saw Jiang Qiansui said she wanted to buy it, her eyes widened.

"Mr. Jiang, are you serious? If there is nothing inside, isn't it too much of a gamble to buy a broken stone for 200,000 yuan?"

"Don't worry, these are glass-type jades! Come on, I'll take you to experience how one cut can make you rich or poor!"

Jiang Qiansui paid the money and took Zhan Youling to the stone cutter.

When the jadeite industry's big shot, Mr. Qin, saw Zhan Yanxun coming over, he happily walked over and said, "Yanxun, you're here. We are studying this batch of jade. Do you see anything that catches your eye?"

Zhan Yanxun carefully observed the raw stones. At this time, Qiao Weiwei picked up a stone and said.

"I think this rough stone No. 67 is good."

Old Qin said approvingly, "Yanxun, the little girl you brought has good taste. I am also optimistic about this rough stone No. 67. Yanxun, where did you find this little girl?"

"This is my secretary, Qiao Weiwei."

Jiang Qiansui brought the raw stone she had just bought, and Qiao Weiwei was about to go to the stone cutter to cut the stone when they happened to see this scene. Zhan Yanxun led Qiao Weiwei and chatted happily with Qin Lao, a big shot in the jade industry.

In the previous life, the rough stone No. 67 that they bought did produce top-quality jadeite, and they were so glorious.

But the real amazing thing is not the rough stone No. 67.

At this exhibition, a piece of top-quality imperial green jade was discovered, which shocked everyone. She wanted to find this piece of top-quality imperial green jade later.

"Boss Jiang, Boss Zhan is here too. I wonder if Qiao Weiwei is too close to Boss Zhan. Boss Jiang, should we go over?"

"Wouldn't it affect our ability to make money if we went there? Let's go cut stones."

Jiang Qiansui took Zhao Youling's hand and walked towards the stone cutter.

When Jiang Qiansui walked past, Zhan Yanxun suddenly felt as if he saw Jiang Qiansui in the crowd.
