Chapter 2560: The Man Looking for Trouble
Gu Ning was very polite to the old man's kindness. "Thank you for your concern. My family is in the jewelry business. I have come to gamble on stones with my elders many times before, so I have some experience and my luck is pretty good. I don't know if I will win, but if I lose, it is unlikely. And I came here to buy a large amount of raw materials because of the test from my family."
"I see!" After hearing Gu Ning's explanation, the old man was no longer so worried and didn't say anything more. However, he gave Gu Ning a blessing in the end: "Then I wish you, young lady, to find jadeite."
"Thank you very much, old man. I'll borrow your good wishes." Gu Ning thanked him.
Then, Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue continued shopping.
The rough material market is a long street with big shops and small stalls. However, the rough materials of jadeite are almost all in the big shops. Since there are more rough materials inside, the chance of finding rough materials of jadeite is higher.
If you go to a small stall, you can occasionally see some selling jadeite.
There are hundreds of raw material shops in the raw material market. An hour has passed so far. Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue have visited nearly twenty shops and carried the raw materials back to the car three times.
However, after the raw materials were transported back to the car, Gu Ning put them into the space. Since it was impossible to put the raw materials into the space in public, he could only push them back into the car and then put them into the space.
Although many people watched Gu Ning put the rough materials into the car, no one thought of taking these rough materials. After all, they were just rough materials, not jadeite. No one believed that a few jadeite could be produced from this pile of rough materials.
Moreover, it's in public and there are surveillance cameras. If someone tries to touch these raw materials, he will be sued if he is caught!
After transporting the raw materials three times, Gu Ning had bought about forty or fifty pieces of raw materials, some large and some small, but there were more small ones than big ones. However, the overall value was estimated in the billions.
Baili Zongxue also got about ten, but not all of them had jadeite. There were some things that he didn't want Baili Zongxue to know too much about, so among the ten or so rough materials selected for Baili Zongxue, two-thirds had jadeite, and one-third did not.
However, the jadeites are all of medium or upper-middle quality. There are no upper-quality or top-quality ones. Despite this, their value is still over 100 million.
As for the top-grade and the best quality ones, Gu Ning would be reluctant to give them to Baili Zongxue, but he would still find a top-grade one for Baili Zongxue later.
At almost eleven o'clock, Gu Ning received a call from Qi Tianlin, who asked her if she was still in Rui City. If so, he would treat her to a meal, and he would also go back in the afternoon.
Gu Ning said she was there, but had something to deal with and couldn't have dinner with him.
In this case, Qi Tianlin did not force it and roughly guessed that Gu Ning must have gone to gamble on stones.
After all, Gu Ning is so good at gambling on stones, and this place is the production site of raw materials. It would be strange if Gu Ning didn't go to gamble on stones.
Because no one knew Gu Ning in Rui City, it was very smooth for Gu Ning to buy the raw materials.
However, this was not smooth sailing all the way to the end.
Just when Gu Ning and Baili Zongxue were halfway through their shopping, and after loading the raw materials back to the car for the fifth time, they returned and entered a relatively large raw material store, which was also one of the three major raw material manufacturers.
It was almost twelve o'clock at this time, so there were already a lot of people in the raw material market.
Especially in this big store, there are more people.
When Gu Ning just entered, she was recognized by a man, who then took the initiative to greet her.
"It's Miss Gu! You've come to Rui City too! You're going to make a lot of money again!" The man's voice was so loud that many people around could hear it. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
Gu Ning had seen this man before, but because he was just a passerby when he met him, Gu Ning didn't know who he was.
The other party had seen her unlock several jades when she was in Teng City, so he knew that she was capable.
However, he said this deliberately, probably to stop her from making money.
As for why the other party did this, they had no grudges against each other, it was just out of jealousy.
Yes, the man was jealous. He was jealous of Gu Ning, a little girl who was so lucky that she opened several jades and made a fortune, while he himself bought so many but didn't open any.
Everyone who heard the man's words looked towards Gu Ning, their eyes filled with suspicion.
Of course they understood what the man meant, which was that this girl was very good at gambling on stones and could find jade and make a fortune.
But, is this true or not? The other party is just a little girl! How can she have such ability?
Although Gu Ning was not angry at being targeted by the other party, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he responded indifferently: "This gentleman is too flattering to me, but I can also make a lot of money with this gentleman's good words."
"Isn't this an easy task for Miss Gu? Last time in Teng City, Miss Gu was able to make three jades out of five rough stones, which made others envious!" The man continued, becoming even more sarcastic.
Hearing this, there was a sudden sigh among the people around, and everyone looked at Gu Ning with surprise.
"What? This girl can make three jades out of five rough pieces. Is this true?"
"If this man says so, then it must be true!"
“This is too amazing!”
"Who says it's not true? Not to mention three, even if you can only give me one, I'll be satisfied!"
“······”
"Who can find three jades from five rough stones?"
Just then, a surprised male voice came from outside the crowd, and then a man came over. He was a young man in his early thirties.
"Hello, Mr. Kang, I'm Zhao Rong, the general manager of Liv Jewelry. It's an honor to meet you here, Mr. Kang." The man who was targeting Gu Ning stepped forward as soon as he saw the man coming and greeted him in a servile manner.
And this man is the young master of this store, the second young master of the Kang family, one of the three largest raw material miners, Kang Shaojie.
"Hello, Manager Zhao," Kang Shaojie also responded, but without any enthusiasm. He just gave a polite and distant, formal response.
If someone greets him first and he doesn't respond, it would seem that he has no manners.
However, the Kang family still has some quality.
"Did you just say that someone could make three jades from five rough stones?" Kang Shaojie asked. Although he did not see Zhao Rong say it just now, he heard the voice.
