Liu Guifu met Yu Wuwei's puzzled eyes and then remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet. He quickly said with a smile, "Brother Yu, this is my mentor who introduced me to the jewelry industry. He is jeweler Yang Kaishan, one of the leading figures in the imperial capital's jewelry industry. You can just call him Master Yang. My skills were basically taught to me by my master."
"My master's expertise in the jewelry field is undeniable. You can't go wrong by listening to him!"
Yu Wuwei nodded when he heard this, and he also had some ideas in mind.
Yang Kaishan! One of the great masters of the imperial capital's jewelry world! Almost everyone in the jewelry industry knows Yang's name! Doesn't it sound quite impressive?
However, Yu Wuwei remained silent. He was not from the jewelry industry, and as an outsider, he had no idea who Yang Kaishan was.
However, since this old man is respected as a leading figure in this field, he must be very authoritative in this area. He wants to see what this old man has to say.
Yang Kaishan waved his hand and said, "What master or no master? I, an old man, just look at gems and jades to amuse myself!"
Then he looked at Yu Wuwei and said seriously, "Little brother, your last name is Yu, right? Then I will call you Little Brother Yu too."
"Brother Yu is obviously an amateur. Even if I casually quote a few million, I guess you won't have any doubts. You'll even be happy to think you've gotten a bargain, right?"
Yu Wuwei nodded. It was true. The price he had in mind was the five million that Boss Liu had mentioned last time. If he could sell it for tens of millions, he would definitely think he had made a profit.
Yang Kaishan continued, "To be honest, I, an old man, am indeed very envious of your beautiful jade. If I had just offered a low price, you might not have found anything, and I would have gotten this top-grade jade myself."
"But I've been in the jewelry business all my life, and conscience is everything."
"For us jewelers, we absolutely cannot allow a pearl to be covered in dust. This thing is worth its price!"
"A few million dollars is not only a deception to the seller like you, my little brother, but also a desecration of this top-grade jade! Seeing others do this makes us righteously indignant, let alone us doing such a conscienceless thing ourselves?"
"Little brother, if you insist on selling this beautiful jade, without 30 million, it would be a pearl covered in dust. Even if a priceless treasure is sold, it can't be sold so cheaply. Even if I, an old man, am greedy, I can't do such a thing."
"But the price is too high, and I, an old man, really can't afford it, so I said we can't eat it!"
Yu Wuwei was deeply touched when he heard what Yang Kaishan said, and he admired the old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.
Businessmen value profit, and it is not easy to have their own ethics in such a materialistic society and stick to them for a lifetime.
And this old man before us, in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars, for the sake of his conscience and in order not to desecrate this beautiful jade, he told the truth and gave a kind reminder without blinking an eye, refusing to cheat. He is definitely worthy of the title of master!
His moral realm is far higher than his own way of gaining and losing.
At this moment, Yu Wuwei truly identified with the old man in front of him.
In Yu Wuwei's eyes, the man in front of him was no longer a crazy old man, but an admirable old master!
After hearing what his master said, Liu Guifu straightened his chest, his eyes filled with pride and honor, and he felt honored to be his master's apprentice.
He made up his mind once again that he must unremittingly pass on his master's sentiments and never bring shame to his master.
Yu Wuwei took a deep breath, calmed his inner turmoil, and slowly said, "But I'm in urgent need of money. What do you think, Mr. Yang, do with this piece of jade?"
Yang Kaishan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Since you are determined to sell it, even though I can't eat it here, there will always be someone who can."
"How about this, I remember there's an auction at the Jialide Auction House tonight. I have some connections with their director, so I can put this beautiful jade up for auction. Those guys are all wealthy, so they can definitely afford it. What do you think, little brother?"
Yu Wuwei thought about it for a moment, nodded, and said, "I'm an amateur in this area, so I'll just listen to Master Yang!"
"Okay!" Yang Kaishan was also a man of swift action. Since Yu Wuwei agreed, he stood up, handed the immortal stone back to Yu Wuwei, and said, "There's no time to lose, let's go now."
Yu Wuwei did not take the immortal stone back, but instead pushed it to Yang Kaishan and said, "Since Mr. Yang likes this stone so much, let's keep it with him for now! I trust Mr. Yang's character."
In fact, Yu Wuwei was not afraid that the other party would embezzle the immortal stone. After all, he now had the means of an immortal. If the other party really dared to embezzle it, then he would definitely have a way to make the other party regret it for the rest of his life!
Upon hearing this, Yang Kaishan looked at Yu Wuwei with appreciation, and his evaluation of Yu Wuwei suddenly rose to a new level.
"In that case, I, an old man, will be greedy just this once!" Yang Kaishan did not refuse. The opportunity to play with this top-grade jade was truly unique, and there was only a short time left. It would be sold soon, so he had better look at it for a while longer.
While playing with it in his hand, he was thinking in his heart that he must be more careful this time and must not let his little brother suffer any loss.
Yang Kaishan went to the inner room to tidy up his appearance. After all, he was suddenly woken up from his nap and ran out in a hurry. His image was really not very good.
Liu Guifu also explained something to the clerk, and then the three of them drove to Jialide.
Jialide can be said to be the largest auction house in Linhang City. There will always be auctions of varying sizes held here, lasting from a week to a month.
Tonight's auction is not the big auction held once a month, but its scale is not small.
Walking into the auction house, Yu Wuwei finally felt what high-end, classy and elegant meant. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as splendid and magnificent with jewels and gems. Its luxury was simply incomparable to that of his own small restaurant.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, a receptionist came over. When he saw Mr. Yang leading the way, he immediately welcomed him in warmly.
It is obvious that Mr. Yang is very famous here and everyone in the auction house knows him.
The lobby manager also walked over quickly and said with a respectful smile, "Mr. Yang, you actually came in person today. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please come in!"
Then he led the three people into a more spacious reception room and gave a wink to the receptionist next to him.
It was Yu Wuwei's first time to enter such a high-end place. He was full of curiosity for a moment, but he couldn't be rude. He sat down respectfully with Mr. Yang and listened to Mr. Yang and the lobby manager exchanging greetings.
At this moment, a coquettish, somewhat mischievous, yet majestic voice came from outside: "Oh, Mr. Yang, you actually came in person today. What good things did you bring us?"
