Chapter 41 Buying Raw Materials at the Jade Market



Li Yang turned around and saw an old man with a gray goatee and a neat old Chinese cloth suit. He looked energetic and his face was rosy, so it was difficult to guess his exact age.

Li Yang shook his head: "I don't really understand, I'm just watching for fun."

The old man was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "I just saw you looking at the stone and shaking your head, and I thought you might know something about jade."

Yes, Li Yang looked so young, and those people who had been playing with jade for decades couldn’t see it clearly, so how could we expect her to see it clearly?

Besides, there are not many women in the jade industry, let alone a young girl like Li Yang?

It seems that he was thinking too much.

Seeing that the old man also dealt with jade, Li Yang, with a learning attitude, tried hard to recall what he had read in books over the past two days and said, "I only have a superficial understanding of it. Please don't laugh at me when I tell you this."

The old man perked up when he heard this and said, "Tell me about it."

Li Yang pointed at the rough stone and said, "They say miracles happen there, but because they are miracles, the probability is extremely low.

I see that the window in the stone is only in a small circle on the side; the yellowing area on the other side is not open. Although the open window shows an extremely fine Yang green, if you look closely, that green band may only be on the surface, with no color absorbed into the inner layer.

Li Yang paused, and seeing that the old man didn't have a mocking look in his eyes, he continued, "Besides, the owner of this rough stone is just taking advantage of this little bit of green, and he's asking for 80,000 or 90,000. I think the risk is too high and not worth it."

In fact, the raw stone she saw through her left eye was pale white with a little green bean-shaped seeds, and there were several large cracks in the middle. If she bought such a raw stone for 80,000 or 90,000 yuan, she would suffer a heavy loss.

Of course, if most of the jade inside is of the right color, and you carve it into various jade articles and sell them, you can conservatively make hundreds of thousands.

The old man smiled and nodded, "Not bad." He then asked Li Yang, "Do you have any favorites?"

Li Yang pointed to a piece of gray-black wool the size of an adult man's fist in the corner and said, "I think that piece is good."

The old man looked in the direction she pointed, his eyes fell on the small stone, and he smiled: "Why is this?"

Li Yang wanted to say more, but her knowledge of jade was limited, so she could only scratch her head awkwardly: "Well, it's just intuition."

The reason why she chose that piece of raw stone was, firstly, because it was small and no one would notice it. If she wanted to buy it, it shouldn't cost too much. Secondly, because she saw that it was full of bright green and had almost no cracks. In this way, she could make at least four or five bracelets.

She just walked over and saw several half-yang green bracelets, the asking price of which had already reached over ten thousand. The price of this full-yang green bracelet would only double.

Hearing this, the old man laughed: "You little girl, you are very interesting."

At this time, someone had already raised the price to 100,000, and the others also wanted to buy it, but after all, the price was there, and they didn't dare to take the risk, so they watched with regret.

The person who bought the piece of raw wood stone was a middle-aged man who looked like a nouveau riche. He wore a rare Yang Green jade pendant on his chest. He took out a large bundle of cash from his briefcase with satisfaction and pride, and asked the boss to count the money.

Li Yang looked at the man's arrogant look and swallowed again.

She had only one thousand yuan in her pocket and was as sensitive as a lunatic all the way, while others went out with one hundred thousand yuan without blinking an eye.

Oh, the pattern, the pattern.

The old man saw the man pay, shook his head, and said softly: "I'm afraid it will be a loss."

Li Yang also nodded and responded softly, "Yeah."

The conversation between the two was not heard by anyone, and it was taboo to be heard by others, so the two just exchanged glances and didn't say much.

Seeing the man pay the money and ask someone to take the raw stone away, the boss smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line.

Li Yang also took the opportunity to raise his hand and said, "Boss, how much is that piece of raw material?"

The little girl's voice was cool and clear, and it was particularly obvious among the crowd of men.

When the boss saw Li Yang, he was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the raw stone that Li Yang pointed to. Although he was a little reluctant, he still took it, obviously treating her as a little girl who came out to play.

Li Yang stared at the raw material in front of him for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he asked the boss, "Boss, how much is this?"

Anyway, she didn't know much about the price of raw materials, so it would be best if she could buy it for a thousand yuan. Otherwise, she would just pretend that it was not her destiny.

The boss originally thought Li Yang was just looking, but he didn't expect him to directly ask for a purchase. This behavior seemed very careless to him, and he couldn't help but say, "Do you really want to buy it?"

Li Yang opened his eyes brightly and said, "Yes, I want to buy it."

Li Yang is a well-behaved girl, and with two sweet dimples on the corners of her mouth, she looks like a naive little girl.

The owner hadn't been optimistic about this rough stone at first; it had been on the stall for a while without selling. But when he saw Li Yang wanted to buy it, he took advantage of his recent big profit and didn't offer a high price. He said, "If you want it, take it for 800 yuan."

Li Yang's eyes widened: "Eight hundred?"

Feeling a little embarrassed by the girl's overly clear eyes, the boss impatiently tried to withdraw his offer: "At least seven hundred and fifty, take it or leave it."

"Yes, I want it." Li Yang hurriedly stopped him and took out money from his bag.

At this time, someone watching the excitement laughed and said, "You have kept this piece of raw material for a long time. Selling it to someone for 750 yuan is a bit unfair, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's not big, and it still costs seven hundred and fifty."

Even though the boss was thick-skinned, he felt a little burned when he heard everyone teasing him. Seeing Li Yang hand over the money, he gave her fifty yuan in change in a bad mood: "I'll take seven hundred yuan from you, okay?"

Li Yang said no, and thanked him hurriedly. He took the raw material and put it into his bag, protecting it carefully.

Seeing this, everyone just thought she was a silly girl who had been cheated and shook their heads.

The old man found it amusing and said to Li Yang, "Little girl, aren't you afraid you'll end up buying a piece of junk?"

Li Yang smiled indifferently: "Gambling on stones means winning and losing. If it's a waste stone, I'll accept it."

Some people gamble on jade for fun, but more people do it to try their luck and want to buy the best jade at the lowest price. Of course, she also has the latter mentality. Who made her poor?

After hearing Li Yang's words, the old man stroked his beard and laughed. "You are quite an interesting girl." He whispered, "I think your rough material won't fall."

After that, he patted Li Yang's arm in appreciation and said, "Come here again when you have time."

Obviously, the old man also thought she was here to play.

Li Yang didn't explain, just smiled and said, "Okay, old man."

What she didn't know was that the fate between her and the old man had just begun.

Li Yang happily returned home with the raw materials, but his good mood disappeared instantly when he saw Li Jianhai standing at the door.
