Chapter 32 Han Ming
Yuan Tingchuan remained silent, seemingly pondering the judge's judgment, when he heard someone behind him shouting in exaggeration: "Oh, such a big treasure, I must buy it back, cut it out completely, and put it in the pond in the yard, it must be very beautiful!"
Everyone had black lines on their heads. Which idiot is talking nonsense?
Such top-quality jadeite should be properly preserved even if it is taken out and not processed. What's the point of throwing it into the pond in the yard?
Du Ruo looked at the man wearing a floral shirt, a gold-thread bow tie and a gold watch, who looked like a glittering golden butterfly. A smile flashed in her eyes.
When Assistant Bai saw that Yuan Tingchuan still had a cold face, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Master Ling is here?"
The man ignored him and jumped around the raw material. After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head. When he turned around and saw Du Ruo, his eyes lit up.
He pulled Du Ruo's sleeve and said, "A beauty's luck is always good. Tell me, is this piece of raw material worth betting on?"
Everyone present was speechless. This was worth hundreds of millions. How could he be so careless? Didn't he bring a stone gambler with him?
The same opening remarks as in the previous life made Du Ruo laugh. She glanced at this "old friend" and said half-seriously, "I don't think it's very good."
The man blinked, turned around, pointed at the "big pear" and asked, "Can I eat this?"
Du Ruo also blinked and said, "It should taste good."
The man said happily, "Then I'll buy this big duck pear. There's no need to cut it up. Just throw it into the pond and let it soak for a hundred years."
The way people looked at him was beyond speechless. He was definitely a fool with lots of money. Some people had a golden light flashing in their eyes, and were ready to go up and test his prowess.
The smile in Du Ruo's eyes deepened. Her old friend was an expert at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Take the third branch of the Ling family for example. More than a dozen descendants were fighting for the position, and in the end it was Ling Yun who took the position, which surprised everyone.
Ling Yun was already instructing his assistant to bargain, looking like he was determined to get the "big pear".
He didn't care. He waved his hand at Yuan Tingchuan, who had a cold face, and said, "I understand the first-come-first-served rule. I'll give you the big thing. I just want this big pear."
Yuan Tingchuan gritted his back teeth. The third son of the Ling family is just out of tune.
Ling Yun continued to talk nonsense: "High-quality jade is a beauty, so we should listen to the beauty, and we will never go wrong. By the way, beauty, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I haven't asked your name yet?"
Du Ruo smiled and said, "I am Du Ruo."
Ling Yun opened his mouth in surprise: "The name of a beauty is so beautiful, Du Ruo? I'll call you Ruoruo? You see I listen to you so much, how about we be friends?"
Du Ruo said meaningfully, "Do you really listen to me?"
Ling Yun's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said with a smile: "Yes, I will listen to you."
Du Ruo smiled, and Ling Yun said that he listened to her and decided to buy the "big duck pear" with a wave of his hand. In fact, he should have done his homework a long time ago and had made up his mind, so he went with the flow.
Ling Yun looked at Du Ruo's smiling face and a smile flashed in his eyes. This beauty was interesting and very much to his liking.
Assistant Bai came over and said to Du Ruo respectfully, "Mr. Yuan asked Ms. Du to come over. He has something important to discuss with you."
Du Ruo nodded and was about to walk over when Ling Yun said with a smile, "We are friends now. I will go with you."
Special Assistant Bai frowned. Isn't this against the rules?
He turned around and looked at Mr. Yuan, and did not stop him.
Yuan Tingchuan said to Du Ruo, "I have great faith in Ms. Du's ability, so I invite you to temporarily join the Yuan team and be my chief consultant. The minimum amount is two million. For every piece of jade you bet, I will pay Ms. Du 10% of the price of the jade."
This is a sky-high price. With the strength of the Yuan Group, the raw materials they purchase must be worth hundreds of millions. Even if one-third of it is jade, according to the value of jade, the commission may be tens of millions.
This kind of contract is usually signed by a big shot in the industry, and only those with decades of experience in gambling on stones and a successful past are eligible, so everyone looked at Du Ruo with a hint of surprise.
Ling Yun also looked at Du Ruo with surprise. Is this beauty extraordinary?
If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you're a bastard. Although Du Ruo can also bet a sky-high price for jadeite, it's good to lean on a big tree for shelter. With the Yuan family's strong financial resources, perhaps her gains will be even greater.
Of course, the one who made the most profit was Yuan Group. There was nothing they could do about it. Who would want to be a small shrimp while others are big crocodiles?
Du Ruo thought for a while before nodding in agreement.
There was a hint of deep meaning in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. His pie was painted very big, but in fact it was all thanks to Du Ruo's own ability to make money.
If Du Ruo was just a show-off, Yuan Tingchuan's loss would only be two million, which is nothing.
But if she is a person with real ability, the benefits she brings to the Yuan family will be immeasurable.
Since she agreed, Yuan Tingchuan asked bluntly: "Excuse me, Ms. Du, can I gamble on this piece of raw material?"
Several of Yuan's gambling masters looked at her nervously. In their hearts, they disapproved of Du Ruo, but as Mr. Yuan's power grew day by day, they dared not show it.
Du Ruo said: "The risk is extremely high. As the saying goes, we are not afraid of big cracks, but small cracks. We can easily observe the direction of big cracks, but cracks, whether deep or shallow, more or less, are difficult to figure out."
What she said was well known in the industry. A Yuan's stone gambler could not help but say: "However, risks often come with opportunities. We have already observed that the texture of this strand is different. It should be a young strand, and it will not have much impact on the raw material."
Du Ruo stepped forward and said, "The direction of the crack is here. If the crack spreads in this direction, the consequences will be disastrous. The whole casino may collapse."
A woman behind him said loudly, "What do you know? The crack and the streak are not connected, there is no harm at all. You rely on your beauty to drug men like a vixen. Do you have any shame?"
Du Ruo looked back and saw that the person coming was a girl. She was dressed in exquisite and valuable clothes. The imperial green jadeite jewellery on her body was priceless. She had willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes. There was a hint of harshness between her eyebrows and a hint of irritability.
This is a very typical, spoiled rich girl.
Next to her was a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and sharp eyes. He had a smile on his face. He was very friendly and appealing to everyone at first sight. It was Han Ming.
