The lackey couldn't help but glance at Ming Xiaoxiao. This woman was so dramatic. But was she perhaps an idiot?
"What do you mean 20,000 yuan isn't completely wasted? It's a huge, crazy increase, okay?" He said with a grin, arms crossed. "Thank you for your optimism."
Ming Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, feeling that his smile was somewhat strange.
But if you only spend 20,000 yuan to cut a piece of material worth more than 10,000 yuan, is it really necessary to try so hard to save face?
She lost interest in watching and turned to leave, saying, "Let's go eat."
Looking up, he found Jiang Yifan still staring at the rough stone, his pupils contracting and his brows furrowing.
"This is..." Jiang Yifan wasn't entirely sure either.
"Young lady, are you selling them all? I'll offer two million!" Someone rushed over and dropped a bombshell.
Ming Xiaoxiao felt as if the thunder was exploding right next to her ears, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Are these people crazy?"
She couldn't see anything special about the stone; at most, it was a bit greener, but wasn't it too fake to be that green?
She looked at Jiang Yifan, seeking his approval, but found that Jiang Yifan's expression had turned ugly and he wasn't paying any attention to her at all.
After this man made his offer, other buyers gathered around. "Brother, that's not fair... I'll offer five million!"
"I'll offer six million!"
"Eight million!"
Someone sighed with regret, "Oh dear, if it hadn't been cut in half, but was a whole piece, it would have sold for over ten million!"
Xie Li: "Sorry, this half is not for sale."
The cutter finally spoke up: "The young lady wanted to keep half for her friends to make jewelry to wear and play with."
To be honest, Xie Li's prediction was so accurate that even he hadn't expected it.
Even those who have been in this industry for decades wouldn't dare say they have such a ruthless eye.
One thunderclap after another exploded in her ears, and Ming Xiaoxiao felt her blood running backward, feeling bewildered and inexplicably aggrieved.
Xie Li knew everything all along. If he knew, why didn't he tell her beforehand, making her worry for nothing and argue like a clown?
Watching Xie Li skillfully haggle with people, and finally half of the deal was settled for five million, Ming Xiaoxiao's eyes reddened.
The shop owner was also very happy. Xie Li received two good pieces of meat and quickly set off firecrackers to celebrate and spread the news.
Many people dared to come and watch the spectacle, and most of them took out their wallets to buy raw stones, hoping to share in the good fortune and have a lucky break.
The shop was bustling with activity; business was booming.
Xie Li received far more attention than she did as the champion of some poetry challenge competition.
Some people even wanted to shake hands with Xie Li, hoping to pass on his good luck.
Xie Li was surrounded by a huge crowd.
Ming Xiaoxiao was pushed out of the crowd, and suddenly felt that the jade pendant in her hand was no longer appealing.
"Tch, Xie Li just got lucky." The acne-faced guy curled his lip in disdain, his tone sour.
Jiang Yifan was also in a bad mood. He really didn't expect Xie Li to be so lucky. What was this all about?
Although his family was relatively well-off, their annual income was only around one million.
How could Xie Li, a village girl who knew nothing, make a net profit of more than five million yuan by simply buying two stones?
“So many people are buying them… Should we buy a rock to play with too?” someone suggested.
Not that he's saying anything, but Xie Li, a country bumpkin, can casually buy something worth tens of millions. These guys come from decent backgrounds, and some of their elders like jade and emeralds. They know a little about it, so maybe they can also buy something worth... well, not much, but even a million would be fine!
