Chapter 80 A Piece of Purple Jade



Perhaps because this red stone set a good precedent, Liu Yihang subsequently saw two more stones containing jade.

However, both of these pieces are green, and the color looks quite ordinary, somewhat cloudy. But they are much larger than the red jadeite from before, so they should be worth some money.

So Liu Yihang stayed as well.

Liu Yihang looked at all the stones in the area priced at 200 yuan each. There were about 100 stones in total, but he only found four stones with jade inside.

That's not bad.

He carried his basket over there.

Xiang Tianhong and Yunyin had almost finished picking out their items in the 300 yuan per kilogram area.

The two of them tried to cram at the last minute, listening to the young man's tips on how to look at stones, while searching for stones that caught their eye.

After some picking and choosing, each of them placed two stones of moderate size in their baskets.

Liu Yihang wanted to see how lucky they were, so he quietly looked at the stones in the box.

One of the two stones in Yunyin's yard actually contained jade, and it was a very beautiful purple color. However, it was a pity that there was only a thin layer of it, which was better than nothing.

Over there, on the other side of the rainbow, there were two white stones.

It seems this guy isn't having much luck!

Liu Yihang had originally planned to help them find stones with jade, but the two of them happily carried the stones they had chosen and were ready to pay the bill.

Liu Yihang offered to pay the bill for Yunyin, but she refused firmly. He let it go and respected her wishes.

Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future.

After the Yunyin Stones were discounted by 20%, the total price was 1,800 yuan.

The two stones on the Xiangtianhong side are larger, totaling two thousand three.

Liu Yihang knew perfectly well that Xiang Tianhong's business was a complete loss, but he couldn't tell him, after all, even a god can't judge a fine piece of jade.

He wanted to take another look at the material priced at 300 yuan per kilogram, so Xiang Tianhong and Yunyin took their own stones to be cut open.

The material that costs 300 yuan per kilogram is less than the stone that costs 200 yuan per piece; it's about a few dozen yuan less.

Liu Yihang looked around and only found two pieces of jade.

It is worth mentioning that one of the pieces is a two-color jadeite, with both violet and green hues.

It's quite big.

I don't know if this two-tone color is valuable, but I imagine it won't be too bad.

The other piece is a piece of green jadeite of good quality.

Liu Yihang took a total of six stones.

"Guest, the stone is priced at two hundred yuan, and there's no discount."

"I can give you a 20% discount if it's sold by weight."

"Okay, let's weigh it!"

"These two raw stones weigh a total of seven jin (3.5 catties) and cost 2,100 yuan. After the discount, the total price is 1,680 yuan."

In addition, these four stones total eight hundred.

A total of two thousand four hundred and eighty dollars.

After Liu Yihang paid the money, he took the stone over and heard cheers from the crowd.

"It's actually purple jade."

"Such a large cut surface, if it's all jade underneath, it would be very valuable."

"I think it's pretty much true. This girl has hit the jackpot. She said she picked it out from among stones that cost 300 yuan a pound. She got a real bargain."

"Young lady, are you selling this jade? I'll offer 30,000 yuan," someone in the crowd called out.

Among these people were merchants who dealt in jade, and it was common for them to buy good pieces when they came across them.

Before the jade is unearthed, it might cost 30,000. But if it takes a long time to unearth, it could cost more than 30,000.

Some people are afraid of performing poorly later on, so they sell the project halfway through, and it's normal for it to change hands midway.

Upon hearing someone bid, Liu Yihang quickly tugged at Yunyin's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Let's sell it if the offer is over 50,000. I don't know why, but I don't have a good feeling about it."

Liu Yihang's words made Yunyin's heart tremble. She had witnessed Liu Yihang's good luck with her own eyes today.

He said he wasn't feeling well, and she couldn't help but feel nervous. She had originally intended to insist on untying all the knots, but now she was starting to feel uneasy.

"Thirty thousand? You have the nerve to offer that? I'll offer fifty thousand." Such a good performance is worth the price. There's still such a big stone below; it should yield at least two kilograms of jade. Getting it for fifty thousand would be a huge profit.

Yunyin didn't speak; she wanted to wait and see if anyone else would bid.

A minute later, the person who had previously quoted 30,000 couldn't help but say, "60,000!"

"Seventy thousand!"

Once it reached 70,000, no one made any more offers.

Yunyin decisively sold the purple jade.

Xiang Tianhong looked at the jade with envy. His two stones had already been cut open, and they were all white stones.

I never expected this girl to find such a large piece of purple jade.

After Yunyin completed the handover and confirmed that the money had been transferred, the process of unraveling the stone continued.

Everyone gathered around to watch, filled with great anticipation for the stone.

"how so?"

"Oh no. It's all over!"

"Such a large cross-section, yet there is only a thin slice of jade flesh."

"Old Gao has lost out this time. Seventy thousand yuan for such a small amount of jade. It's worth at most ten thousand yuan."

The man called Lao Gao was so angry that he hung his head and stamped his feet, regretting that he hadn't held back a little.

Xiang Tianhong patted his chest, feeling excited.

He had just thought that Yunyin shouldn't be sold, and that continuing to dissect it might earn him more money. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the jade worth 70,000 yuan was only worth 10,000 yuan.

Yunyin was also startled and kept patting her heart.

I can't believe it! So this is what they mean by "one cut makes you poor, one cut makes you rich"!

If she hadn't listened to Liu Yihang's judgment and insisted on solving everything, she would be the one suffering now.

Although there is still a profit, it won't be as much.

"You guys bought stones?" Yuan Tiangang finally finished choosing his stones and saw the three of them gathered together.

"I bought two to play with," Xiang Tianhong said.

"Pay your tuition, huh?" Yuan Tiangang asked with a malicious smile.

"Old Yuan, you've underestimated your friends. That young lady just opened a purple jadeite and sold it to Lao Gao for a full 70,000 yuan!"

"Purple Jade?" Yuan Tiangang rushed in and saw that there was only a thin piece, and burst into laughter.

"Old Gao, you've finally met your match!"

That Lao Gao is a hypocrite; I had a bit of an unpleasant experience with him before.

Yunyin made money off Lao Gao, so it was time to swindle him. Yuan Tiangang was overjoyed.

Next, it was Liu Yihang and Yuan Tiangang's turn to cut the stone.

Yuan Tiangang initially thought Liu Yihang was arrogant because he had taken six stones, but after learning that they were stones worth two hundred yuan each...

He offered words of comfort in advance: "Don't get your hopes up too high. Those scraps are what the boss has carefully selected, and there's almost no chance they'll turn out green. Just consider it tuition."

Liu Yihang said modestly, "I know, it's just for fun, it's not expensive."

Yuan Tiangang held a piece of fabric weighing nearly ten pounds with great anticipation.

This was the piece of material he looked at all night and thought was the best. It was clearly priced and cost him nearly 50,000 yuan.

Liu Yihang glanced over, pretending not to care.

The scene within the stone appeared before my eyes.
