Chapter 40: Cuckold
The two bodyguards kept their word. An hour and a half later, they showed up at Xu Youyou's home, one person lifting one side, and soon lifted the stone sculpture onto the cart.
Xu Fang was already waiting downstairs.
After Xu Youyou got on the car, the car arrived at the destination smoothly. Even though the other three people in the car knew that Xu Youyou liked quiet rules, she still felt that it was too crowded for four people to sit in one car.
"Can you drive?" Xu Youyou asked bodyguard Zhang Jun.
Zhang Jun immediately said, "Boss, I have been driving for ten years."
When Xu Fang heard this, she suddenly became nervous. She was afraid of losing her job, but now she was driving and did not dare to look back at her boss's face.
Xu Youyou didn't let Xu Fang worry for too long, and directly said to Zhang Jun: "Since you can drive, go pick a car later, and you two will drive behind me from now on."
Zhang Jun's eyes lit up. Although he knew that his boss complained that the car was too crowded, the sense of freedom of being able to drive yourself could not be compared to taking a car.
Although Xu Fang kept her job, she still felt a sense of crisis. She needed this job more than anyone else. Only by being more useful to her boss could she have a greater chance of keeping her job.
When the car arrived at the destination, the bodyguard got off first and did Xu Fang's job. Xu Fang suddenly had an idea and pulled out a parasol from the side.
There were a lot of raw stones and a stone-cutting machine piled up in front of the Jade Museum. A group of people were watching the stone-cutting when suddenly someone shouted, "Here comes a fat sheep!"
Everyone immediately turned around and looked over.
The first thing I saw was the car, and I silently put a price on it in my mind.
Then he saw two bodyguards in black suits, which raised the status of the fat sheep even higher.
Finally, a female driver holding a parasol appeared, and in their eyes, Xu Youyou's worth instantly rose to hundreds of millions.
Xu Youyou was surrounded by three people and walked to the door of the Jade Museum.
"Beauty, do you want to play stone gambling? Just one cut can double your worth!" said the boss with a smile.
Xu Youyou glanced at him and said, "It might be a bit difficult to double my worth with just one blow."
The boss's eyes narrowed. He did not expect Xu Youyou to say such a thing. How is this different from admitting that he is very rich? Xu Youyou did not care about the other party's scrutiny and asked directly: "Boss, how much does it cost to cut the stone?"
The boss said: "If you buy stones from me, it's free to cut them. If you bring stones from outside, it depends on the size of the stone."
Xu Youyou looked back at the two bodyguards, and they immediately lifted the stone sculpture down from the car.
The boss took a look and said, "The stone used for stone carving is difficult to get green due to its material. Are you sure you want to untie this good stone carving?"
Xu Youyou nodded: "Boss, please evaluate it and charge us the right amount."
The boss shook his head and said, "Since this is our first meeting, let's just treat it as making friends. I'll help you solve it for free."
The boss makes most of his money from gambling on stones, not from cutting stones. Xu Youyou is worth a lot of money, so he also wants to sell her for a good price.
But Xu Youyou said, "If I don't take money, I won't feel at ease. I don't feel safe making friends like this."
The boss laughed and said helplessly: "Beautiful lady, you are too polite. I will charge you 200 yuan."
After Xu Youyou paid two hundred yuan, she let the bodyguard carry the stone sculpture to the vicinity of the machine.
Just as the staff at the Jade Pavilion was about to take action, the boss waved his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."
Xu Youyou didn't care who took action.
"Beauty, draw a line first." The boss handed a pen to Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou didn't quite understand this kind of thing, so she said directly: "You decide."
The boss first realized that Xu Youyou should be an outsider, but he did not dare to look down on Xu Youyou.
There seems to be a fixed ritual for cutting stones.
The boss started the stone-crushing machine only after he shouted, "Once the machine starts, it will bring you a ton of gold."
He used a relatively delicate stone-cutting method, slowly polishing along the sides of the stone.
After going around, I couldn't see any other colors at all, it was all fluff.
"Boss, this stone doesn't look like it's valuable. Don't bother grinding it with water. Just cut it in half with a knife." A spectator shouted.
The owner of the jade museum hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Xu Youyou beside him.
Xu Youyou shook her head: "Just keep grinding like this."
The boss had no choice but to continue polishing the stone sculpture.
Such delicate work takes too long, and many spectators have become bored and have gone to watch other machines cutting stones. Not many people are paying attention to Xu Youyou's stone anymore.
Twenty minutes later, a curious person came to take another look. After seeing that the process was still slow and laborious, he shook his head and said, "Boss, this beauty is an amateur. Why are you also an amateur? Are you really willing to accompany her?"
The boss was in a dilemma at this time. He thought Xu Youyou was an important person and wanted to make friends with him, so he served him personally.
He already felt regretful at this moment, and his skills slacked off a bit, not looking carefully at what the stone sculpture looked like.
"Stop!" Xu Youyou suddenly shouted.
The boss looked at her puzzledly.
Xu Youyou said: "It's green."
The boss replied casually: "Beauty, your stone is a stone carving material, it is difficult to produce green..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked down and was stunned.
Under the stone cutter, a little bit of rich green color is revealed.
The boss wiped off the stone chips in disbelief, and then all he could see in his eyes was that hint of green.
It is a very bright and rich green, the color is extremely uniform, without any color difference or spots, and one look at it will make people fall in love with it.
The boss has been in the jade business for many years, so he could recognize what it was: "Imperial green!"
His voice was trembling, but it was accurately conveyed to the ears of everyone present.
In three seconds, everyone gathered around.
“It’s really imperial green!”
"I never thought that I would be able to see the Imperial Green revealed in my lifetime!"
"There's also a piece of stone this big, I guess it can yield several kilograms!"
"I'm rich! Where did you buy this stone? Which pile of raw stones did it come from? I want to buy it too!"
The people around were talking about it. Their eyes turned red as they looked at the stone. They wished they could rush up and grab the stone into their arms.
As the owner of this stone, Xu Youyou was exceptionally calm: "Boss, continue to solve it."
The boss did not move immediately, but said: "Beauty, if you want to sell it? I am willing to buy it for 50 million."
Betting on stones is actually a two-part gamble. The first is to bet on whether your stone can produce green. The second is to bet on how much green can be produced by the half-opened stone.
A more conservative person may choose to sell the stone after seeing the green color, so that the jade stones that are opened later will have more or less nothing to do with him.
Xu Youyou spent about 300,000 RMB to send this stone sculpture back to China.
If three hundred thousand is exchanged for fifty million, some people may choose to stop.
But Xu Youyou didn't. Instead, she said confidently, "Continue solving it."
