Du Ruo was thinking that she would be going on a business trip in three days, so she let Xiaozhe stay in the kindergarten for a while. By the time she came back, the project would be almost done, and the mother and daughter could move into the main house.
After three days of observation, Du Ruo gradually felt relieved.
Brother Chen is worthy of being a company commander. He has strong leadership skills. Several of his subordinates are his former comrades-in-arms, and they have a high degree of tacit cooperation.
What is rare is that they have a decent style and the quality of the projects they produce is very convincing.
Du Ruo said, "Brother Chen, have you ever thought about taking on the project yourself?"
In fact, Brother Chen’s leg injury was not serious, and he could do some odd jobs.
Brother Chen smiled and said, "Sister, it's not as easy as you say. The big construction teams have all kinds of equipment, but we only have a few trowels and a few broken wooden frames. Who would give us the project?"
Du Ruo asked, "Is the equipment expensive?"
Brother Chen smiled and said, "It's not cheap. These days, building construction is all about efficiency. It requires a lot of large machines. A medium-sized construction team would need at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to equip them."
Du Ruo looked at the red line on Chen Yuan's head thoughtfully.
After making arrangements for his son, Du Ruo set off three days later.
This time, we went to the jade market on the border. Due to its special geographical location, it has gradually become the largest raw stone market in the country in recent years.
This trade fair was held in a grand manner, inviting dozens of powerful Asian jewelry groups to participate, and there were also countless domestic jade processing companies of all sizes.
Their Linshan City Jade Processing Factory is a medium-sized enterprise. Among the big crocodiles, it is not very noticeable. Director Shen also knows the situation of his own company and is very low-key.
Not all of these people come here to gamble on jade. Most of them want to select some of the jade that has increased in value on the spot and take it back home. The same goes for their factory.
Director Shen personally led the team this time, one to purchase raw materials, and the other to build relationships and expand business.
After arranging everyone, Director Shen left in a hurry.
Du Ruo locked the door of the room, put a wad of money in his pocket, and went directly to the wool market.
There weren't many people in the rough stone market. Everyone had just arrived here and hadn't had time to come and see the raw stones.
Those who can rush here first are all people who are extremely interested in gambling on stones.
As expected of the largest raw stone market in the country, in just a short while, Du Ruo had already seen the horizontal lines above the heads of several people fluctuate, but the intensity was different.
It seems that in order to increase its popularity, the quality of this batch of raw stones is indeed good.
However, for a raw stone like this, the possibility of producing green is high, but the chance of producing top-quality jade is still small.
If top-quality jadeite is unearthed, it will definitely sell for a good price under such circumstances.
But the difficulty is about the same as buying a lottery ticket. Even gods cannot tell the quality of jade. No one can tell what is under the surface.
There was a group of people gathered at the door of a shop in front. Du Ruo squeezed over to take a look and found that there were actually two huge raw stones.
The piece on the left has a very strange shape, looking like a big pear, and its name is also very strange, "Heart of Eternity".
It is about three meters high, nearly two meters wide and weighs ten tons.
The rough stone next to it is even larger than it, three meters high, more than three meters wide, and weighs twenty-five tons. It has a very vivid name "Big Mac".
Most people can't afford to gamble on this kind of raw stone, which costs hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Not to mention bidding, the reserve price is beyond the reach of many people.
There were more than a dozen people doing evaluations in the center of the huge raw stone area. The leader was wearing a black French shirt and trousers of the same color. The materials were exquisite and the tailoring was fine. Gold cufflinks inlaid with rubies adorned the man's wrists. He was staring at the raw material expressionlessly. It was Yuan Tingchuan, whom Du Ruo had met once before.
It seems that Yuan Group is very interested in these two pieces of raw materials?
Although this kind of raw material has high risks, the profits it brings are also considerable. Not to mention that after the bet goes up, the value will increase by more than ten times, and the advertising effect and influence it brings cannot be underestimated.
Du Ruo was watching the excitement from the outside when a man who looked like a bodyguard walked up to her and said, "Ms. Du, Mr. Yuan wants you to come over."
Du Ruo glanced at Yuan Tingchuan, and the man was still staring at the raw material.
Unable to resist her curiosity about the raw materials, she followed the bodyguard to the central area.
This is a special area with not many people around.
Before Du Ruo could say anything, she heard Yuan Tingchuan say, "This piece of rough material performs well. The moss and blue and white are evenly distributed." The man's narrow, long, phoenix eyes, with a hint of coldness, fell on Du Ruo's face. He asked slowly, "What do you think, Ms. Du?"
Du Ruo looked at her own slender white fingertips, smiled slightly and said, "Even gods cannot judge the quality of jade. Who said that?"
She is not a stone gambler who receives commission from Yuan's family, nor is she shameless enough to think that she has any cooperative relationship with Yuan's family. Naturally, she will not offend anyone.
A strange light flashed in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes. For various interests, the people around him were eager to please him. Even if he didn't ask, they all wanted to show their courtesy. This Ms. Du...
Du Ruo was also someone who had experienced many ups and downs. Although the strange look in Yuan Tingchuan's eyes was only for a moment, she noticed it.
Du Ruo sneered in her heart. There is an old saying that goes "no desires make one strong." She had no demands on the Yuan family, and Yuan Tingchuan was just a passerby to her.
As for buying and selling jade antiques, if there is no Yuan family, there are still Li and Zhang families. As long as the items are good and there is enough profit, she will never lack buyers.
This big guy is used to being in a high position and thinks everyone has to indulge him?
When they met for the first time, Du Ruo discovered that Mr. Yuan's humility and politeness were just to maintain his upbringing. Deep down, no matter who he was, he had a subtle arrogance towards everyone.
Yuan Tingchuan pursed his lips. For some reason, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He ignored Du Ruo like a child, and the coldness from his body kept people away.
Du Ruo was happy to be alone and quiet. She didn't come in to enjoy the "air conditioning".
Du Ruo looked at the rough material inch by inch with interest, searching his memory for the anecdotes of the gambling stone world. Such a huge gambling stone rough material, whether it was a bet on a rise or a fall, could not go quietly.
Du Ruo was staring at a crack in a trance when he heard several of Yuan's jade betting experts say, "Mr. Yuan, we all agree that these are later-grown cracks and will not affect the quality of the jadeite itself."
"Post-natal cracks" are cracks that appear on the periphery after the jade has been formed. Since the jade has already been formed, they will not cause any damage.
Du Ruo had already withdrawn her hand thoughtfully. She gently patted the dust off her palm and stood aside without saying a word.
