Chapter 501: Great Vision
Old Madam Wang was a connoisseur of valuables and could tell at a glance that the jewelry box contained a complete set of imperial green jadeite jewelry. The delicate, transparent and deep rich green color made it look noble and elegant.
Ordinary jade is nothing, but top-grade jade is hard to come by.
Although wealthy people like the Wang family also have a few pieces of imperial green jewelry, they want to pass them down to their children and grandchildren.
Great Britain has diamond mines but no emerald mines. Although five-carat red and pink diamonds are very rare, it has its own diamond mines and perhaps will have them in the future.
My daughter's family is not wealthy, like most Chinese people. I was shocked and deeply moved when they gave her such a set of jade jewelry with top-notch craftsmanship.
"This... is too precious, I can't accept it!"
Chen Kexin said calmly: "Grandma, by chance last year, I got a large piece of imperial green jade without spending much money. I asked someone to carve it into jewelry. This is a gift from our whole family."
Not to mention the two million pocket money my grandmother gave me, but since we met she has not only given me gifts but also so many diamonds.
One cannot just keep asking for things from even the closest relatives. Besides, one has to consider the opinions of the two aunts and three cousins. Besides, Chen Kexin has the ability to give gifts.
She looked at Wang Jiwen with admiration and said, "Uncle, take a look at the gifts we gave you. Do you like them?"
Wang Jiwen opened the box and was immediately surprised. In the jewelry box was a pair of mutton-fat white jade plaques, one was engraved with Guanyin, and the other was engraved with Maitreya Buddha. There is a saying that goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. It was obviously given to the couple.
The delicate and moist mutton-fat white jade is obviously very valuable and is top-quality goods.
There was also a pair of ruby rings of the same size and color in the jewelry box.
The use of platinum as the base further highlights the bright color and unique luster of the ruby.
Mutton-fat white jade is the finest soft jade; ruby is also top-grade.
Old Lady Wang excitedly opened several other jewelry boxes. The one for her second uncle and his wife was the same as the one for her eldest uncle, but the difference was that the platinum base was inlaid with a pair of sapphires.
Then look at the three imperial green bracelets given to the three grandsons, they are smooth, round, high-end and luxurious.
All the jewelry is exquisitely carved and looks magnificent.
Not only was she surprised, but Chen Jiancheng and his wife, and the three little ones were also surprised.
I didn't expect that the eldest daughter (eldest sister) would ask someone to make jewelry out of white jade and rubies and sapphires.
I didn’t expect that Chen Kexin had such high-end and luxurious imperial green in her hands.
Ping An whispered: "Sister, I want jewelry too..."
Chen Kexin said in a comforting tone: "Ping An, Big Sister has had it made, but it's a pity that we don't have the chance to wear it. When you grow up and someone wears it, Big Sister will give it to you."
Chen Kexin did not lie, she found a sculptor to make a lot of jewelry, but she was worried about her younger brothers and sisters being too young, and her parents being unable to keep the secret, so she put them all in the space.
At this time, if someone in the family goes out wearing jewelry, they will definitely be criticized.
What the jealous gossipers would say: "You have money to buy jewelry, but don't you want to support the frontline?"
The two old men are fighting bravely on the front line. Even if they can't help, they must not fall behind.
Wang Jiwen said sincerely: "Kexin, your grandmother and I accept your gift, but we cannot accept these valuable jewelry."
"Uncle, Ping An and I went to Tibet during the summer vacation a few months ago and bought some mutton-fat white jade and rubies and sapphires. To tell you the truth, mutton-fat white jade and rubies and sapphires only cost three hundred yuan per kilogram..."
Before she finished speaking, Old Lady Wang and Wang Jiwen asked in surprise, "So cheap?"
There was no Internet in those days, and the place where they lived was very far away from China.
Besides, they have no experience with jade and don’t know the price of top-grade jade.
Chen Kexin smiled and explained: "You know that prices in the mainland are low, and the price of clear materials is this price. The uncut mountain stone materials and seed materials are even cheaper. If you don't believe me, ask Ping An."
The two elders looked at Ping An with suspicion.
The little fellow puffed out his chest and said, "Yes! I blamed my elder sister for buying so many stones for being cheap. When we brought them back and cut them, we found jade inside..."
Chen Kexin almost got exposed when she heard her younger brother revealing the secret, who gambled on the stones and found jade inside? You absolutely cannot say that!
He quickly tried to smooth things over, "It was also my good luck. I learned a little bit from an expert, so I have more materials to bet on."
Soon I thought that instead of giving others a bargain, I might as well give my family members some advice, and enthusiastically suggested: "If you go to buy jade materials, just buy clear materials or window-cut materials. Then find a jade craftsman to make jewelry. Both nephrite and jadeite are non-renewable resources, and the price will only go up. The best way is to get them for yourself first."
Old Madam Wang and Wang Jiwen looked at each other and couldn't help but feel moved.
They knew it clearly in their minds. Ke Xin said these were gifts from the Chen family. Judging from the expressions of Wang Qiaolian and her husband, it was obvious that these were the work of this girl alone.
This child is the head of the Chen family!
The Wang family has a diamond mine, but they have never thought about opening a jewelry factory for many years. If you buy nephrite and jadeite, you might as well go here.
"Ke Xin, can you find a craftsman?"
Chen Kexin nodded and said, "Of course, these jewelries are all made by carving masters. As long as the money is in place, he will definitely agree to work. Because the domestic consumption level is not high, the wages of carving masters are not high. I think with the development of reform and opening up, the living standards of ordinary people will be greatly improved, and everyone's demand for jewelry will become greater and greater."
Wang Jiwen found that his niece had a good understanding of business, so he asked frankly, "Kexin, if your uncle buys some jadeite and nephrite to open a jade processing factory, what will the prospects be?"
"A very profitable business!"
Wang Jiwen's eyes lit up and he continued to ask, "So, where is the best place to open a jade processing factory?"
"Of course it's in Shenzhen. Both the nephrite and jadeite mines are close to Shenzhen. More importantly, we can take advantage of this opportunity to gain a foothold in Shenzhen, which will definitely be very valuable in the future. The key is that it's close to Hong Kong, so the jewelry produced there will be invincible whether it's sold to Hong Kong or inland areas."
Wang Jiwen certainly knew the geographical location of Gangcheng, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He quickly thought of something and said, "Ke Xin, didn't you say you wanted to build an ecological park here in Longcheng? Wouldn't it be a loss if the span was so large?"
Chen Kexin smiled immediately. Her uncle had been in business for many years and was very thoughtful.
"Uncle, Shenzhen is a pilot city for reform. It will be rolled out across the country only after it succeeds. I want to build an ecological park in Longcheng just to occupy land. Of course, in the next few years, I can hire people to use this land for planting and build greenhouses. During this period, there is no conflict in purchasing jade and preparing for a jewelry processing factory. There is no conflict in occupying land in Shenzhen. In a few years, or ten years, both the land of the Longcheng plantation and the land of Shenzhen will definitely become gold dolls."
Everyone looked at her in shock. This child, Ke Xin, not only had a quick mind, but also had a great vision!
