The man immediately introduced himself and said, "Wang Ruifeng, I own a large jade trading company. Chicken blood stone is also one of our main businesses. I wonder if Mr. Li has brought his collection today?"
Li Xiang smiled faintly, took out the rectangular bloodstone from his pocket, placed it on the turntable on the table, and then gently turned it over.
At this time, more than a dozen people were already seated around the table. The man was diagonally opposite Li Xiang, a little far away.
Wang Ruifeng's eyes lit up when he saw this bloodstone. When he turned it in front of him, he picked it up and looked at it carefully. I was immediately excited. It turned out to be the best of the best, "Mantanghong".
This rectangular bloodstone has blood on all six sides, and the blood is evenly distributed, making the entire jade look "bright red". The blood patterns on the six sides are unique and very beautiful. It is truly a rare fine product.
There is a myth about bloodstone, which says that the blood and eggs of the Phoenix were buried for tens of millions of years and then enlightened by the Jade Emperor to form a beautiful red stone. Although the legend is not credible, it adds a mysterious and romantic color to the bloodstone and enriches its cultural connotation. The saying that bloodstone can make a family prosperous and ward off evil has been passed down to this day.
There are so many colorful ordinary bloodstones placed in Li Xiang’s backyard, which is not only beautiful but also has feng shui considerations.
Chicken blood stone should be called phoenix blood stone. When it was mined, it was found that its color was similar to the blood of a freshly slaughtered chicken dripped on jade, so it was habitually called "chicken blood stone".
During the Qing Dynasty, the most emperors and empresses had their jade seals carved with chicken blood stone, including Qianlong, Jiaqing, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Xuantong, Cixi, etc. It also once replaced coral red and agate red as the gem on the top hat and peacock feather.
"This is a rare treasure among rare treasures. Last year, a similar piece appeared in Chengdu. The transaction price was 3.8 million. I will add a little more to it, 4 million. What do you think, Mr. Li?"
Li Xiang nodded, this price is reasonable. Although there was a bloodstone auctioned for 4.83 million before, the auction scene is special, sometimes someone will deliberately raise the price, either for face, or really like it and want to buy it. In short, the auction price is usually higher than the market price.
Auctions may not be able to be replicated, and Li Xiang has too many goods. If he auctions, it will be impossible to sell multiple goods at once, which will affect the bidding. That means it will take a long time to ship, requiring more effort, and there will be some variables.
"Since Mr. Li agrees and Mr. Xu introduced us, then we can have a happy cooperation. There is no need to sign a contract. I will arrange for the financial department to transfer the money to you this afternoon." Wang Ruifeng stroked the bloodstone in his hand and liked it very much. With his eyes, he knew it was a genuine product without identification.
Li Xiang said: "Wait."
"Ah?" Wang Ruifeng was stunned. Was he dissatisfied with the price? However, he offered 4 million yuan for Xu Xuan's sake. If an ordinary person took it, he would at least lower it to less than 1 million yuan.
Anyway, if you can fool him, try to fool him. If it doesn't work, just increase the price a little bit, and you will definitely get it in the end. Giving 4 million now is really good. Even if he resells it after processing, he may not make much money.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "This is just a sample. I have many more."
"ah?!"
Wang Ruifeng was even more surprised. This top-grade bloodstone was just a sample? In everyone's surprised eyes, Li Xiang stood up and dragged the inconspicuous box in the corner of the box over.
This suitcase was bought by him when he was working in a big city. It cost just over 200 yuan and he had used it for a long time. It was a very ordinary suitcase, but when I opened it, I was shocked to see red everywhere.
There were lights in the box, including a large ceiling light and some spotlights. At this moment, Li Xiang's box happened to be placed under a spotlight, and when it was illuminated by the light, it suddenly shone brightly with a red light.
Everyone stood up and gathered around. Even Xu Xuan was amazed.
There are not only red flowers, but also azaleas and many other beautiful reds. The blood veins on each stone are different. Those blood veins floating on the stone are vivid, dazzling, shining and fascinating.
A large box filled with precious jades is very impressive.
Wang Ruifeng was even more stunned. He looked at Li Xiang in surprise for several times, thinking, Brother, did you dig a mine? Otherwise, where did you get so many precious bloodstones?
The output of bloodstone mines is usually not large, and most of them are ordinary quality stones. To produce so many precious stones, it must be a mine, right? Don't mention it, he guessed it right. Li Xiang secretly dug a mine.
It should be said that it is a small mine of a small scale.
Of course, this is also good luck.
This was the collective property of Lijia Village, so Li Xiang took care of it. Anyway, when the end of the world comes, the people of Lijia Village will be protected by him. To put it in a bigger way, this was the country's property, but in the future, more than just the people of Lijia Village would be protected by him, and his underground city would have to accommodate at least 100,000 people, right? This little money was just a drop in the bucket.
Li Xiang knew that he would not be able to do it by his own strength, but if he wanted to cooperate with the country, he had to find the right time. Now was still early in the end of the world, so there was no rush.
"This, this quantity is too large. I have to ask my men to take it for identification and re-estimate." Wang Ruifeng checked Li Xiang's goods and said very seriously.
Originally, he thought it was a small business, and since it was introduced by Mr. Xu, he took it on the spot. As a result, Li Xiang took out a top-quality bloodstone, which exceeded his expectations.
And that’s not all. He actually took out another large box, which contained several items of the same quality, and the next best ones weighed more than ten kilograms.
The amount involved is too large, so it needs to be carefully identified and appraised, after all, he is doing business.
"Okay." Li Xiang nodded.
Wang Ruifeng made a phone call to notify someone to come over. He introduced that his jade trading company was not far from here and it had a special appraisal agency and valuation department under it, and would definitely give a fair price.
At this time, Xu Xuan ordered people to serve the dishes, which were all specialties of Chengdu and the signature dishes of this hotel. Everyone ate while waiting.
Xu Xuan invited us to dinner, and he personally ordered the dishes, so of course they wouldn't be bad, they were all delicacies. There were both red and white wines. Xu Xuan brought his own wine, not the ones from the store.
About ten minutes later, three of Wang Ruifeng's subordinates came in. They were all very surprised to see the box full of high-quality bloodstone.
"Take this box of bloodstone back, appraise it carefully, and give a reasonable price. Mr. Li is Mr. Xu's friend, so don't slack off." Wang Ruifeng told his men, implying that they should not play any tricks.
Li Xiang looked at Xu Xuan and saw him nod slightly, so he agreed.
He Zhixiang finally found an opportunity to show his presence, and quickly told his driver, "Qiangzi, you come along, and cooperate closely with us if there's anything we can help you with."
He Zhixiang didn't know that Li Xiang wanted to sell bloodstone, and he was extremely surprised at this time. Just the small sample was priced at 4 million, so the value of this box of goods can be imagined.
How could such an expensive item be dragged away casually without a reliable person watching over it? Although Xu Shao was trustworthy, it was his first time dealing with the other party, and it was not Xu Shao who bought it, but another boss. It was understandable for him to send his own people over.
Li Xiang was alone, with no one to turn to, but he brought a driver with him.
The driver immediately stood up, pulled himself together, and followed. The driver was also excited. Oh my god, Mr. Li was carrying these tens of millions of dollars casually. No wonder he didn't let me touch them before.
He Zhixiang was thinking for a moment. He had also seen Li Xiang digging a cave before. He thought to himself that when a red light flashed, could it be that he had really found a mine? Was Brother Xiang really lucky, a man of good fortune? However, he would not say it out loud. He was thinking about getting closer to Li Xiang in the future, because being with such a lucky person would make him lucky too.
No one wants to be around unlucky people, right? Some bad luck is contagious, and the same is true for luck.
Not only did he guess it, but some people on Xu Xuan's side also guessed it, such as Zhang Youyou. She also entered the live broadcast room at that time, and at this time she leaned close to Xu Xuan's ear and whispered a few words.
Xu Xuan glared at her and told her not to talk nonsense or spread the story.
"I know." Zhang Youyou secretly pinched Xu Xuan's thigh. In fact, Zhang Youyou's family background was also very extraordinary, otherwise she would not be able to be with Xu Xuan.
The elders of both families hoped very much that they could become a couple, and the two of them secretly slept with each other, but they had not yet reached the stage of discussing marriage.
Zhang Youyou felt that Xu Xuan didn't love her enough, while Xu Xuan felt that Zhang Youyou was too wild. She was quite exciting in bed, but she always lacked a little dignity and was not his ideal type.
The atmosphere was tense with people toasting each other.
Because Xu Xuan was not alone, he brought several friends who were good at creating an atmosphere. One of them boasted that he could drink a lot and wanted to compete with Li Xiang in drinking.
They drank white wine, of course, while Zhang Youyou and the other girls drank red wine.
As a result, Li Xiang threw three bottles into the air without changing his expression, and he was still chatting and laughing as usual, as if nothing had happened to him. However, the man could no longer bear it and lay on the table begging for mercy.
Xu Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, you useless thing. But he didn't know that Li Xiang could drink so much.
Li Xiang laughed and said, "I usually drink 58-degree Moutai, and this 53-degree Moutai is a little softer."
Everyone: “…”
The people on Wang Ruifeng's side were quite efficient. Of course, that was mainly because of Xu Xuan's relationship. In addition, the big boss Wang Ruifeng personally instructed that the relevant staff of the jade company did not even have lunch and worked overtime to conduct the appraisal and evaluation with the fastest efficiency. The final price given was 32 million yuan.
