Chapter 25 Indecision
In gambling on stones, the word "luck" is very important. Some people have a superb sixth sense, and they can bet on green even without knowing much.
Yang Ze frowned and said nothing. At the last season's trading conference, something went wrong with the Yuan family and they actually lost three quarters of the raw materials. This had never happened before.
Although it is not a crisis for a giant like Yuan Corporation, the materials of each branch have been a little tight recently, and everyone is thinking about it.
Today, with the booming economy, the demand for jewelry and jadeite jewellery is growing, and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce.
Yang Ze has always wanted to develop a brand series in the provincial capital branch, but he has not found suitable raw materials in the past one or two years.
If he could increase the value of this large piece of raw material, it would solve the problem that had been bothering him.
But this is not a small amount. If he fails, not to mention the huge impact on the company, he will also lose face in front of his cousin. Yang Ze is a little hesitant.
Bet? Or not?
As he was hesitating, another group of people came over from the front, led by a fat man dressed very "nobly".
He wore a gold necklace as thick as his finger around his neck, and half of his ten fingers had gold bracelets. His hair was shaved in a very unique way, half shady and half yang. He wore flashy clothes, had a beer belly, and held his chin high, giving him a look that said, "You are poor."
When Yang Ze saw Jin Bao coming, his brows wrinkled inadvertently.
As soon as Jin Bao saw Yang Ze, he smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Yang? Are you also interested in this piece of raw material?"
Yang Ze said: "I just came to take a look. What is Mr. Jin doing..."
Jinbao looked like a wealthy man. He said, "I'm here to get the raw material. I want this piece of material."
Yang Ze's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the piece of wool again.
He said half-truthfully, "Although the material is good, gambling on stones is always a mixed bag. Mr. Jin, why don't you consider it?"
Jin Bao waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it anymore. I don't believe that I can go bankrupt again and again."
Speaking of this, Jimbo felt depressed. He didn't know if it was because his father missed a character when naming him that his luck in gambling was always a little bad.
You said his old man was the same, I don’t know what he was thinking, he named him Jinbao. If he added the word Yuan in the middle, wouldn’t it be perfect?
Yang Ze's secretary Xiao Zhang leaned close to his ear and whispered something, which made Yang Ze's brows furrow even deeper.
He is really undecided now. The shop owner said that Mr. Jin offered one million and was determined to get this piece of raw material. If he wants it, he must pay more than this price.
Yang Ze was a little hesitant. He looked at Xiao Zhang. Xiao Zhang didn't dare to say anything. This was no small matter. How could he dare to give any advice?
Mr. Yang turned back to look at his father again. He whispered to Old Man Yang, "Dad, what do you think?"
Old Man Yang understood what he meant. He frowned and said thoughtfully, "If you look at the performance, it's good, but this matter..."
Yang Ze nodded. In fact, he had already made up his mind that he wanted this piece of material. He just needed someone to push him, or to help him make up his mind.
Just as he was about to speak to the shop owner, he heard Du Ruo muttering to himself, "Although the green shown by the skylights is good, the cracks are also good, quite even, and look quite like the real thing."
Yang Ze's heart skipped a beat, as if someone had hit him on the head. His confused mind suddenly became clearer. He calmed down and said to Xiao Zhang beside him, "Give me the magnifying glass."
Xiao Zhang hurriedly took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and handed it to Yang Ze, and also handed a high-intensity flashlight to him.
Yang Ze began to re-examine the raw material. Jin Bao said, "Old Yang, look again, can you still see a flower? I have already bought this material."
After Jin Bao finished speaking, he glanced at the shop owner, but the owner didn't say anything.
We agreed, but we haven't paid yet? Wouldn't it be better if someone offered a higher price?
It would be best if the two of them started a fight and raised the price so high that he could reap the benefits.
Seeing that the shop owner didn't say anything, Jin Bao became anxious and asked, "Old Yang, do you want it or not?"
Jin Bao was afraid that Yang Ze would say yes. The most fearful thing about buying things is price gouging. If the two of them really started to compete, there was no telling how high the price would be.
Fortunately, Yang Ze walked around the stone and observed it. He exhaled fiercely, as if he had suddenly made up his mind.
He said, "I don't want this material anymore."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the shop owner's eyes. Since Yang Ze had withdrawn, Jin Bao successfully got the raw stone.
Although Yang Ze withdrew from the competition, he was still eager to try. He asked Jin Bao with a smile: "Mr. Jin, are you going to cut the stone now? Can I come and watch?"
Jin Bao waved his hand and said, "Let's cut the stone now!"
The shop owner was very happy, this was the treasure of his shop, and today he finally sold it. He would also sell it as a stone for public inspection. If he could make a profit, as long as it turned out to be green, his shop's business would surely be booming today.
The boss waved his hand and called the shop assistants over. They all worked together to move the stone-cutting tools to the center of the site. Suddenly, a group of people gathered in three layers inside and outside.
Jinbao's secretary was very smart and had someone prepare a large string of firecrackers and put them aside, waiting to set them off as soon as the green number came out.
Yang Ze frowned slightly. Although he had decided not to buy the rough material, he still felt a little regretful. What if he could make a profit? If he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait for the next trading event.
But they couldn't give all the raw materials obtained at the trade fair to him. Their branch company also got limited materials. If they wanted to make it a treasure of the store, they had to either transfer them from the head office or find another way.
More and more people gathered, some even moved a table and stood at the back to get a closer look.
Such a large piece of raw material, and at such an expensive price, is not something you can get every day.
The sound of the machine turning was buzzing, and everyone was nervous. Life or death would be decided with just one cut.
The stone cutter cut the rough material along the marked lines.
"It's up, it's up, it's up a lot?"
"Oh, this water type is at least ice type. If we cut it further, it will definitely be high ice type. I just don't know how many glass types there are?"
"It's already ice-type after just cutting the surface. It must be glass-type. Even if it only weighs a few kilograms, it's still an astronomical figure, right?"
"What did I say? I guarantee that there will be an Emerald King. Just wait and see."
“Is it the king of jade? It’s hard to say now, but it will definitely rise sharply.”
