Chapter 57: Almost Got There First
After leaving this store, Gu Ning went into another one, where she was lucky enough to find a top-quality jadeite and a mid-quality jadeite.
Top-quality jade is larger than an apple, while medium-quality jade is slightly larger, about the size of half a football.
Gu Ning did not plan to untie the top-grade jadeite now, because he had just untie two top-grade jadeites, and if he were to touch them again, it would be strange if this did not cause a sensation, so he only untie the medium-grade jadeite.
In the end, the medium-quality jade was sold for eight million.
Gu Ning continued to shop, and after visiting five or six stores, he collected seven or eight pieces of top-quality jadeite, of varying sizes and values. The big ones were as big as footballs, and the small ones were as small as apples.
In addition to seven or eight pieces of top-grade jadeite, there are also five or six pieces of medium-to-high-grade and medium-grade jadeite.
As for the inferior ones, Gu Ning simply ignored them.
In the meantime, Gu Ning sold two medium-quality, relatively large pieces of jadeite for 23 million.
However, Gu Ning stopped solving other puzzles, because she was afraid that solving too many puzzles would cause a sensation. She didn't want to be famous yet! So far, Gu Ning has earned a total of 86 million from the jadeite puzzles she has solved.
Because the grades of these raw materials varied, with the expensive ones costing tens of thousands per pound and the cheap ones costing only a few hundred yuan per pound, Gu Ning spent a total of three million yuan on buying the raw materials.
However, the total value of these raw materials is between 600 million and 700 million.
When she has collected most of the raw jadeite, she will sell a few pieces to Mr. Fu and Zhao Yuefeng respectively.
Every time Gu Ning sold raw materials, he put them in his backpack. After he came out, he directly put them into the Yutong space, so now Gu Ning is free of burden.
Gu Ning entered another store. This store was obviously much bigger than the ones she had visited before, with more people coming and going, and even more raw materials.
After listening to other people's discussions, Gu Ning realized that this store had just received a batch of high-quality raw materials with a relatively high green yield.
Of course, even if the green is high, it still depends on luck!
Gu Ning turned on the perspective directly and scanned the raw material. Sure enough, he saw several green pieces, one of which was even red.
The two green pieces are one slightly smaller than a football, one as big as two apples, and the red one is as big as half a football.
Gu Ning fell in love with the red one at first sight.
So he hurriedly took the cart and walked over.
However, just as Gu Ning approached, the rough material with red jade was picked up by a fashionable woman in her thirties, which made Gu Ning's heart tighten.
But she also knew the rules of gambling on stones. As long as the rough material was being viewed by someone, outsiders were not allowed to snatch it away. Only after the person decided not to want it could someone take it.
Having learned his lesson from being beaten to the punch, Gu Ning quickly took the other two pieces into his own hands to avoid being beaten to the punch again.
Gu Ning had been staring at the piece of rough material with red jadeite, waiting for the woman to put it down so that she could pick it up immediately.
"Sister, the skin of this raw material looks bad, it will definitely not turn green." said a young man standing next to the woman.
“What do you know? As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by its cover. The same goes for raw materials. Just because they look bad doesn’t mean there won’t be green inside.” said the woman.
Hearing this, Gu Ning was startled. This woman's words meant that she also took a fancy to this raw material.
Then I heard the woman say, "But if you really want to buy it, you still need to think it over carefully."
After saying that, the woman put the raw material down, but secretly memorized the number of the raw material. Although she liked the raw material, she had not made up her mind yet.
As soon as the woman left, Gu Ning immediately went to pick up the piece of raw material, thinking to himself that it was a close call.
Fortunately, this woman was cautious and did not make a decision easily. Otherwise, she would have missed out on this rare jadeite, which is worth a lot of money!
Gu Ning continued to use the X-ray machine to scan the rough material, and obtained two pieces of jadeite, each of which was two-thirds the size of a football.
These pieces of jade are naturally not enough, but Gu Ning plans to pay first and find a place to store the rough materials into the space before coming back.
Otherwise, she will have too many things and it will be troublesome.
Because these raw materials are all high-quality raw materials that have just arrived, they are relatively expensive. The least is ten thousand yuan per catty, and the most is twenty thousand yuan per catty. Gu Ning's five pieces weigh a total of ninety-three catties, and the total cost is one million and a half.
After Gu Ning went out to collect the raw materials into the space, he came back and continued shopping with the cart.
Soon, Gu Ning found another piece of green jade. This time it was bigger, as big as two footballs.
Gu Ning immediately moved it to his cart. Judging from the gravity, the piece must weigh at least 50 kilograms, and this piece of raw material costs 20,000 yuan per kilogram.
In other words, this piece of raw material costs about one million.
Of course, Gu Ning didn't care about this little money. Knowing that there was cheating inside, she would take it even if it was 10 million.
Because the jade here is worth far more than ten million.
Although Gu Ning could feel the mist of the jade, that is, the concentration of spiritual energy, and knew whether it was top-grade or mid-grade, he could only roughly estimate the specific price, and the specific price depended on the bids offered by others.
"Gu Ning"
Just as Gu Ning put the jadeite into the cart, she heard someone calling her name, and the voice was very familiar, so she knew who it was even before she saw the person.
Gu Ning looked over and his eyes fell on Qin Yifan who was looking at him in surprise. He smiled friendly and said, "Mr. Qin, what a coincidence, you are here to see the raw materials too!"
Qin Yifan was accompanied by Li Zhenzhen and a young man about 27 or 28 years old, with serious expressions.
When Li Zhenzhen saw Gu Ning, her originally good-looking face suddenly darkened, hostility flashed in her eyes, and she secretly hated it in her heart, wondering why she always ran into this Gu Ning everywhere! However, Gu Ning didn't care.
"Yes! This store is opened by an old acquaintance. He notified me to come and take a look because he just received a batch of high-quality raw materials. So I came to G City this time to look at the raw materials here, but I didn't expect you to do the same." Qin Yifan said, his face couldn't help but look happy. He didn't know whether he felt that he and Gu Ning were too predestined to meet, or because Gu Ning also gambled on stones, which made him feel that they had the same interests.
"I am also interested in gambling on stones, but I'm just a novice and don't know much about it." Gu Ning said.
"If you don't understand anything, you can ask me," Qin Yifan said warmly.
"Okay!" Gu Ning did not reject Qin Yifan's kindness, but whether to ask or not was another matter.
Unable to bear the thought of Qin Yifan being so warm to Gu Ning, Li Zhenzhen immediately came over and said, "There is a layer of weathered skin on the surface of the jadeite raw stone, which makes it difficult to see the jade quality inside. So many people think that gambling on jadeite depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can get good materials, but if you are unlucky, you can get nothing. This is actually a wrong idea."
