"Next, let's talk about that piece of imperial green jade, as well as the other eight pieces of jade that were auctioned at the exchange meeting."
As is widely known, this imperial green jade is worth over a billion, but it would take selling the entire piece to reach that price.
Imperial green jadeite is an ultra-high-end type of jadeite, and it cannot be sold off all at once unless it is sold at a low price.
I just want to ask you for advice. What do you want to do with the half that belongs to you?
Although I am willing to acquire them all, as this would be more beneficial to my company's development.
However, I simply don't have enough funds to acquire even half of this jadeite right now. Let alone 500 million, I can't even come up with 100 million.
So now I'm in a difficult position. You make the decision yourself. I agree to whatever you want to do, whether you cut it in half and take it with you, or sell your half to someone else at a discount.
As for the other eight pieces of jade, once they arrive, we'll have them cut open in public. The jade will then be handled by my company, and we'll split all the net profits 50/50. What do you think of this arrangement?
Liu Yihang had actually considered it.
He understood that processing such high-end materials was actually more difficult than processing mid-range materials, because finding buyers with the financial means and resources to support them was very challenging.
It would be a waste to entrust this kind of material to ordinary craftsmen, so it will take some time to realize its value.
Fortunately, he's not short of money right now, so he can take his time with this jade and there's no rush.
"Sister Miao, I'd like to entrust my half piece of imperial green jadeite, along with those eight rough stones, to you for processing."
I don't understand this industry either. You are the expert. Leave professional matters to professionals. I believe that in your hands, it can play a greater role.
"I'll just wait to get my share of the money. If you want to use it for advertising or anything, that's fine too, as long as I get my share in the end," Liu Yihang said straightforwardly.
His main focus afterward was on his studies, and he didn't have much time to deal with these miscellaneous matters.
Moreover, Miao Cuihua has a wider network and more channels, so having her handle the processing of this rough stone will maximize its value.
Miao Cuihua initially thought that Liu Yihang might be inclined to cash out as soon as possible, since he wasn't in the jade business and his initial intention in buying raw stones was to make money.
Miao Cuihua felt trusted that he was so readily entrusting her with the handling of the jade.
"Alright, since you trust me, I will definitely find a way to process this rough stone as soon as possible and try to sell it for a billion or so. Then we won't have to work hard for the rest of our lives."
Actually, it's easier to sell this piece of jade as a whole for a higher price. There are many super-rich collectors overseas who want this kind of high-quality jade in whole pieces.
I have contacted several top auction houses abroad. They are very interested in this top-quality jadeite. However, due to its large size and the huge amount of money involved, they have not yet given a specific plan or response.
I'll let you know as soon as I have any news.
Miao Cuihua then told him her plan directly.
She had considered acquiring the jade herself, but she lacked top-notch craftsmen. Fine jade requires top-notch craftsmanship to bring out its full potential.
So she planned to use this piece of jade to boost her company's reputation and do some advertising.
Then she would hand it over to an auction house to sell it, which would allow her to quickly recoup her funds. She could then use those funds to do more things instead of being tied up in a top-quality jade.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yihang thought to himself that Miao Cuihua had deliberately given him two choices to test him.
Fortunately, I chose to entrust the jade to her for processing. Even if I got half, I wouldn't be able to sell it for a high price, since there are too many twists and turns involved.
"Sister Miao, I have another favor to ask. I'd like to have a set of imperial green jadeite made for my mother. I wonder if there's any way to do that?"
Liu Yihang had assumed that the jade would eventually have to be cut open, so he promised Lin Guihua that he would make her a set of jewelry.
Judging from Miao Cuihua's words, she might sell the entire piece of jade, which makes it difficult to make a offer.
Miao Cuihua immediately understood what he meant; in fact, she had thought about this herself.
Despite having dealt with jadeite for most of her life, she has never collected a complete set of old mine glass-type imperial green jewelry.
In her collection, the only piece of imperial green jewelry she owned was a ring made from scrap material, which cost her hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars at the time.
I finally managed to find Imperial Green this time, so I have to get myself a set of Imperial Green jewelry, whether to wear it or collect it.
“We’re on the same page. I also want to collect a set of jewelry. Well then, that piece of jade needs to have its outer layer removed and it needs to be cut before it can be auctioned.”
The scraps and edges that were peeled off the surface can easily be used to make two sets of jewelry. I'll ask Master Yuheng to help me make two sets of jewelry, since he still owes us a favor.
Once they're finished, we'll each take one set of these two pieces of jewelry. How does that arrangement seem?
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Miao!" Liu Yihang was very satisfied with this arrangement.
That's how things were tentatively settled.
"By the way, Sister Miao, I'd like to get a stone-cutting machine. Could you help me out?"
"Is it for those uncut stones you haven't opened yet? The stone-cutting machine is no problem, leave it to me."
You're being so mysterious, I'm starting to wonder if you're hiding some good jade.
"If you find any high-quality jade, don't forget to consider me. I'll definitely give you the highest price!" Miao Cuihua was now completely convinced of Liu Yihang's discerning eye.
"Haha, that's great! If I find any good jade, I'll definitely come to you first."
"Your skill in appraising stones is truly amazing. I'm even thinking of hiring you as a professional stone-appraising consultant in the future, but I just can't afford the price, haha," Miao Cuihua joked tentatively.
Since returning from Yunnan, Miao Cuihua has been thinking about how to get Liu Yihang on the same boat. Although the two are currently in a state of mutual benefit and misfortune, bound by a shared piece of jade, who can say for sure what the future holds?
Based on her decades of experience judging people, she was certain that this young man was destined for greatness, and that their circumstances would be drastically different in a few years or a decade.
While he's currently in a weakened position, let's leverage him and tie him to our own interests; there might be unexpected surprises in the future.
However, she hadn't yet figured out the specifics of how to tie her up.
She knew Liu Yihang's skill in appraising jade; with him around, it would be difficult to buy a raw jade at a loss.
This confidence comes from Liu Yihang's recent achievements.
Liu Yihang certainly didn't want to be used as someone else's pawn. Once was considered helping, but two or three times would be considered exploitation.
So he just smiled and moved on from the topic.
"You're at the height of your fame right now, what kind of raw stone consultant can't you afford? Master Niu is quite good too, so please don't joke with me."
Miao Cuihua thought to herself, no matter how capable they are, they are not as good as you!
