Since they could no longer contact each other via space, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao returned to their respective rooms and packed up the things they wanted to take with them.
Gu Yanqi, on the other hand, wanted to streamline the items that had already been packed.
Without space, many of their plans will have to change, including the direction of their stockpiling, and they will no longer be able to buy some large items.
After quickly tidying up their things, the three sat down at the dining table downstairs to prepare and discuss their stockpiling plan again.
Before the discussion, Gu Yanzhi tried to contact the space again and was pleasantly surprised to find that the space could be contacted again.
"Huh? The space seems a bit different now," Gu Yanzhi said in confusion.
After careful observation, Gu Yanzhi excitedly discovered that the space had become larger. Previously, the space was about the size of two football fields, but now it had increased by almost half again.
Gu Yanzhi tried taking things out of the space and putting them back, and succeeded. She then tested the space's preservation function with ice cream and found that there was no change; it could still keep things fresh indefinitely, which made Gu Yanzhi even happier.
"Could it be that there was something in that box that we just put in that could upgrade the space?" Gu Yanlin guessed. In the novels he had read, there were plots where the protagonist would accidentally obtain something that would upgrade the space.
Gu Yanzhi quickly found the box and took it out. The three of them took out the contents of the box and placed them on the table.
"It seems like a necklace is missing. It was a gift from Dad to Mom for our 20th anniversary." Gu Yanlin packed everything up. In his memory, the necklace seemed to have been in this box, but Gu's mother had too much jewelry, so he didn't remember it very clearly.
The three of them quickly went upstairs and brought down all the things from their parents' room. After checking them one by one, they found that the necklace was indeed missing.
"Could it be that the emerald will upgrade the space?" Gu Yanzhi still remembered that the necklace was a 100-carat emerald necklace, which Gu's father had bought at an auction for 200 million.
"It's possible, let's give it a try."
The three of them gathered all the jewelry and antiques in the house together, picked out pieces of various materials, and had Gu Yanzhi try them on one by one.
In the end, it took the three of them two whole days to determine which types of jade would upgrade the space. The size and quality of the jade would affect the extent of the upgrade, and the time required for the upgrade would also vary.
The more valuable and larger the jade, the greater the space upgrade, but the more time it takes.
For example, the size of the space upgrade is about the same for a 1-carat old mine glass-type imperial green jadeite and a 100-carat icy jadeite, and the time required is also the same.
After finalizing these details, I spent another day putting all the remaining jade stones in my house into the space to upgrade it.
Gu Yanzhi initially wanted to just throw everything in at once, but Song Zhao worried about the potential harm to her body and insisted she throw it in piece by piece. Gu Yanlin also nodded in agreement. Unable to persuade Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin otherwise, Gu Yanzhi had no choice but to agree.
While Gu Yanzhi was busy throwing jade stones to upgrade his space, Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin were not idle either.
Now that it was confirmed that the space could be upgraded, the stockpile list was revised, with more items added and a requirement to collect as many kinds of jade as possible.
Song Zhao contacted Gu Qiang and Gu Li, saying that he could buy their jade jewelry at market price and use it to offset the 10 billion yuan debt.
Although Gu Li and Li Hong thought Song Zhao was trying to humiliate them, they agreed because he was willing to pay the market price as a discount.
The day after the contract was signed, Gu Qiang transferred the initial payment of 10 billion yuan to Gu Yanzhi's account. He then proceeded to auction off a large number of his shares, properties, and luxury goods. However, the sheer volume of these items entering the market at once resulted in many being sold at below-market prices.
Of course, another reason for agreeing was that they believed that once they had the Gu family's property, dealing with a few powerless people would be a piece of cake, and their beloved jewelry would be able to return to them without spending a penny.
Gu Li and Li Hong's jewelry was used to offset 1 billion yuan. This shows how much money the siblings Gu Qiang and Gu Li have drained from their parents over the years.
The Gu family business was built from scratch by Mr. and Mrs. Gu. Even after they became wealthy, they didn't forget their younger siblings. Although they didn't directly join the group, they gave them shares, helped them with their business ventures, and provided them with financial support.
Unfortunately, greed is insatiable. The father, who was kind to his younger siblings, raised two ungrateful wretches who, for money, even murdered his own brother and sister-in-law and even tried to exterminate his nephews and nieces.
