Chapter 3 Cut Jade

"Here, here!"

When Li Mu saw Jiang Mingyue, Jiang Mingyue also saw Li Mu, and a smile suddenly emerged from the corner of his mouth, and he waved to Li Mu hurriedly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. When we eat noodles later, I will punish you by giving me two more braised eggs!

"

Li Mu laughed loudly, and sat down opposite Jiang Mingyue. He put the milk tea on the table: "You can add ten braised eggs. Hey, that milk tea on the street."

Jiang Mingyue smiled and said: "Ten? Then I can't eat it. Let's replace it with braised dried tofu, tofu rolls or something."

She took the milk tea, took one cup herself, put another cup with a straw and pushed it to Li Mu: "Oh, this shop is still open? I remember the little girl selling milk tea, she must be not young now, right?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I think I got married, and now my body is a little swollen, two or three times fatter than before."

Jiang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Really or not? I remember that the little girl was quite beautiful."

She was wearing a light blue and black windbreaker, a white shirt underneath, and white casual pants. The clothes were neat and straight, with a bit of a professional attire, which set off her outstanding temperament. You could tell at a glance that she was a woman from a wealthy family.

Or the feeling of being a rich person yourself.

Logically speaking, a person dressed like her would never appear in a small noodle shop with heavy fumes and worrying health conditions. Only five-star hotels and high-end restaurants are in line with her style of painting.

Compared to five or six years ago, she has shed her immature air and has become a mature and intellectual woman, exuding amazing charm in every move she makes.

At this time, he covered his mouth and smiled softly, and the majestic part of his chest also trembled slightly, which made people think endlessly.

"What are you looking at!"

Seeing Li Mu looking at her chest, Jiang Mingyue's pretty face blushed slightly, and she rolled her eyes at Li Mu: "Why are you still so perverted?"

Li Mu chuckled: "I can't help myself, I can't help myself! I didn't expect that the former goddess would become more and more beautiful after not seeing each other for several years!"

Jiang Mingyue: "Che, virtue!"

Li Mu smiled: "Should we still eat noodles? A big bowl or a small bowl?"

Jiang Mingyue said: "A small bowl is fine. I can't eat spicy food now. I get acne when I eat chili peppers. It's very troublesome."

"receive."

Li Mu turned around and looked at the boss below: "Boss, two bowls of Ban Mian, one large and one small. The big bowl should have wide noodles and more chili. The small bowl should not be spicy and should have thin noodles. Well, put the same toppings in your bowl.

Even if it’s the same, give me one.”

The restaurant owner turned around in surprise: "I have a lot of toppings, can you two eat it?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a big appetite. If I can't eat it, we will take it away and we won't waste it."

The boss stopped asking any more questions: "Okay, you two, wait a moment——!"

He spoke in a long tone and began to pick up a few dough sticks and smash them.

Jiang Mingyue approached Li Mu: "Hey, my appetite is much smaller now. If I can't finish it in a while, as usual, you have to be responsible for cleaning up."

Li Mu smiled and said, "No problem! I have a bigger appetite now than before."

When the two were studying at Wencheng University, Li Mu often took Jiang Mingyue to this snack street to eat. What they ate the most was the beef noodles.

In fact, this beef noodles is spicy and salty, so many women avoid it, but many boys with strong taste flock to it and like it very much.

Li Mu himself has a strong taste and likes to drink strong liquor and eat heavy oily and spicy food. Therefore, among the noodles, he is particularly fond of pan noodles. He has recommended this noodle restaurant to Jiang Mingzhu more than once.

At that time, I just wanted to recommend something I thought was delicious to the people I liked, but I didn’t consider whether Jiang Mingzhu would like it or not.

Now that I think about it, Jiang Mingzhu, who comes from a wealthy family, has always had a bland taste and may not like this kind of salty and spicy pan noodles, but because of the recommendation of her boyfriend Li Mu, I am afraid I can only force myself to like it.

She had been in love with Li Mu for two years. When she went out to eat, she usually ate simple meals in small restaurants at the school gate, such as ramen noodles, pan noodles, and simple stir-fries. Occasionally she went to eat simple meals, grilled fish, etc.

It can be considered a luxury.

But she never showed any sign of dissatisfaction. When eating noodles with Li Mu, she would be happy for a long time if she could add an extra braised egg.

At that time, happiness between lovers was really easy to satisfy.

When the noodles were served, the boss personally placed a plate of toppings in front of Li Mu: "Don't waste it!"

There are more than ten kinds of braised meatballs, dried tofu, kelp rolls, braised eggs, sausages, etc. on the plate, filling the plate full.

Li Mu put a braised egg in Jiang Mingyue's bowl and took a bite of the dried tofu himself: "It still tastes the same as before!"

Jiang Mingyue glanced at Li Mu with a smile: "Hey, you are polite now. I remember that I used to pick up food for you, but you have never picked up food for me."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Are you a little flattered? These braised eggs are not for nothing. When the stones are sold later, you can just ask a higher price!"

Jiang Mingyue: "Isn't it? You are too utilitarian. To put it this way, your braised egg is too valuable. Can I not eat it?"

Li Mu raised his fist, shook it in front of Jiang Mingyue, and said fiercely: "Don't eat it? Have you ever seen a fist as big as a casserole? How dare you not give it to Brother Mu? Humph, you don't want to ask what Master Mu does!

"

"puff!"

Jiang Mingyue suddenly laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you! Let's eat noodles first. I haven't eaten in a small restaurant for a long time."

After finishing the meal, Li Mu felt very comfortable. When they walked out of the noodle shop together, Jiang Mingyue raised her sleeves, smelled it, frowned and said, "The smell of the noodle shop is too strong, and now my clothes are smelling of it."

Li Mu smiled and said: "It's okay, I don't dislike you!"

Jiang Mingyue: "I hate it!"

After walking out of the snack street, the two came to a nearby parking lot. Jiang Mingyue looked at Li Mu: "Where is your car?"

Li Mu pointed to the nearby domestic Dongfeng SUV: "Hey, that's the one."

Jiang Mingyue put her hand on her forehead and looked speechless: "You are too good at it. With your salary, a medium-sized car should be fine. Driving such a car is a bit too low-key."

Li Mu said puzzledly: "The performance of this car is not bad, the space is quite large, and it can sometimes haul goods. I feel good about it."

Jiang Mingyue shook her head and said: "It's usually okay, but if you want to sell stones today, you need a better car, and you can ask for a higher price when the time comes. Otherwise, if you really drive a car like this, I'll give you the price.

Can’t lift it up.”

She said this: "Hey, where is the stone you are talking about? Give me a few looks first. I have already asked several jewelry appraisers from the company to wait in the silver building. Don't let the stone you take be worthless by then. Then I will

It’s such a shame and a huge loss.”

Li Mu waved his hand: "Come here, I just want to show you first."

He came to the back of the car, opened the trunk, took out a piece of raw jade and handed it to Jiang Mingyue: "Hey, this is the worst piece."

Jiang Mingyue took it in her hand and looked at it carefully for a few times, then her face became serious: "Let's go to the store and have a good appraisal."

Nowadays, major jewelry stores are short of good raw materials, especially jade raw materials.

With the improvement of the country's economy, residents' consumption has also reached its peak. Even if some jewelry is sold at sky-high prices, there is never a shortage of buyers.

As for jadeite raw materials, which are imported from abroad, the export quantity has been restricted by small southern countries many years ago, causing prices to rise repeatedly, and the supply is still in short supply.

All these bullshit stones that no one looked down upon before are now branded as jade, made into various ornaments, and sold in jewelry stores.

Many merchants hold events and sell so-called jade jewelry at discounts, which are basically made of this shitty stone. Most of them are not even as good as shit, but as long as they are dyed well and polished a little, they can still work.

Sell ​​it for a good price.

These fakes are acceptable to ordinary people, but for rich people, this trick cannot be used all the time. For rich people with money and power, let alone tricks, it is too late to flatter them, so naturally they cannot make fakes.

Real top-quality jewelry is still in short supply in the market.

Jiang Mingyue's family runs a gold shop and jewelry. She is now the manager of the Jiangjia Silver House. Naturally, she is very clear about the market of the jewelry industry. Now she sees that the jadeite rough stone brought by Li Mu is of extremely high quality. It seems to be the legendary Laokeng glass type. The color

Zhengyang, it didn't look like he was fake, his attitude immediately became correct.

If it was really the Laokeng glass type, the price of this fist-sized rough stone would have skyrocketed, so she couldn't have been careless.

On the way to the jewelry store, Li Mu wanted to drive his own car, but Jiang Mingyue refused: "You can take my car. Well, go change your clothes before others look down on you."

"No, I'm just selling jade, why do I need to change my clothes?"

"Change your clothes to look dignified."

"What the hell does this have to do with solemnity? I'm just a seller. Let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, isn't it settled?"

"If you want to sell it at a good price, you have to listen to me."

"Well, you are the biggest today."

Li Mu found it difficult to understand the way Jiang Mingyue acted, but seeing that she insisted on doing so, Li Mu had no choice but to let her go.

So the two of them drove to the mall first, wandering around the mall for a long time and shopping for a long time.

Jiang Mingyue not only bought clothes and shoes for Li Mu from head to toe, but also bought a set of clothes for herself, and then drove her BMW radiantly to Mingyue Silver Building.

That's right, the silver building of Jiang Mingyue's family is called Mingyue Silver Building.

At that time, when his parents were just preparing to open the bank, Jiang Mingyue was born, so the bank was registered as Mingyue Bank based on Jiang Mingyue's name.

This shows how much Jiang Mingyue's parents love Jiang Mingyue.

The two got off the car and came to the bank building together. The manager on duty had already come to greet them: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Li, please come inside. Teacher Zhang and the others are waiting in the office."

Li Mu carried the big bag and looked at Jiang Mingyue with a teasing look on his face: "Mr. Jiang, please go first!"

Jiang Mingyue sighed and walked away first: "Are you jealous? Let me tell you, I am very powerful now!"

Li Mu chuckled: "Jiang Shanhe's daughter is certainly extraordinary."

Jiang Shanhe is Jiang Mingyue's father, and Li Mu has met him once.

He was a middle-aged man with a scholarly air. He did not express any clear objection to the relationship between Li Mu and Jiang Mingyue, but he did not stop Jiang Mingyue's mother from making small moves towards Li Mu.

This kind of person has a deep mind and cannot express his joy and anger, which Li Mu dislikes.

When talking about him at this time, it was just a casual joke without any personal emotions.

Jiang Mingyue in front turned around and glared at Li Mu: "You are the only one who knows more!"

She led Li Mu through the counter, into the back corridor, took the elevator to the sixth floor, stopped in front of the third door, and knocked lightly.

After a while, the door opened.

An old man with gray hair stood at the door and said with a smile: "The bright moon is here? Little girl, what kind of treasure is it that makes you call us old guys over?"

Jiang Mingyue said with a smile: "Hello Uncle Zhang, are Uncle Xie and Uncle Tian here too?"

An old man's voice sounded in the room: "Mingyue is here, come in quickly and let uncle see what good things are there?"

Jiang Mingyue pushed Li Mu: "Don't take the things over yet. These are some of my father's friends. They are all experts in jade appraisal. It depends on them what texture your jadeite stone has and how much it can be sold for."

The identification results are out.”

There were two old people sitting in the living room, and together with the old man who opened the door, there were three old people in total.

These three old men are all in their sixties. Except for the thin man named Zhang who opened the door, the old men named Xie and Tian in the living room are all chubby. Their hair is neatly combed, their clothes are neat and clean, and they have a good temperament.

Not vulgar.

When the two old men in the room saw Jiang Mingyue, they both nodded and said, "Sit down quickly. Where are the things?"

After Jiang Mingyue introduced Li Mu to everyone, Li Mu took out a rough stone from the bag and gently placed it on the tea table in the living room: "I am Mingyue's friend Li Mu. These are some jade rough stones I brought. Please give me three more.

A teacher palms his eyes."

"Oh, the stone with the window open?"

The old man named Xie is called Xie Dongchang. The old man was the first to take the stone in his hand, put on his reading glasses, took out the flashlight, and looked at it carefully for a while: "Hey, Zhengyang Green? How is this possible?"

"Don't get it wrong, right?"

"let me see!"

“It’s rare to see jadeite with this kind of water.”

The old man surnamed Zhang next to him was named Zhang Heshun, and the man surnamed Tian was named Tian Jianguang. After hearing Xie Dongchang's words, they both became a little excited and gathered around them.

After a long time, the three of them gently placed the original stone on the table and looked at Li Mu at the same time.

Li Mu smiled and said: "Teachers, how do you like this stone?"

The three of them were silent for a moment, but Xie Dongchang was the first to speak: "Xiao Li, the water quality of your jade is good, but you only have one skylight. No one can tell how much jade is left inside. So it's hard to say the price."

Zhang Heshun and Tian Jianguang also nodded in agreement with Xie Dongchang's point of view.

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then you can help me look at the other stones."

He took out the remaining stones one by one and placed them in front of everyone: "Three teachers, please take a look."

Xie Dongchang and others looked at each other, each picked up a stone and examined it carefully. Their faces kept changing. After a long time, they began to exchange stones with each other and immersed themselves in observing.

The faces of the three people became more and more solemn.

Finally, the three people put down the stones. Xie Dongchang looked at Jiang Mingyue: "Mingyue, your family may not be able to eat these stones."

Jiang Mingyue suppressed her surprise and asked, "How much do you value these stones?"

Xie Dongchang said: "There are a total of seven rough stones here, all of which have skylights. The best one among them is imperial green or Zhengyang green. Based on its appearance, even if there is only one skylight, it will still be worth it."

It’s tens of millions. The remaining stones, if added up, are worth thirty million.”

He said to Jiang Mingyue: "Although your Jiang family is wealthy, I'm afraid you may not be able to withdraw so much cash at once."

Jiang Mingyue nodded: "Well, I have to discuss this with my family."

Li Mu asked: "If this was cut out, would it sell more?"

Xie Dongchang said: "You have to think carefully. If these stones are not cut, they are worth at least 40 million, and more. If they are cut, the value will be greatly reduced."

Jiang Mingyue looked at Li Mu: "What do you think? If not, just for this skylight, I will make the decision. For 43 million, our bank will buy it as a package!"

Li Mu shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, it's hard for a fairy to cut off an inch of jade. I can't let you take this risk. If it breaks down, your company will lose a lot of money. It's better to cut it out and negotiate the price so that everyone feels at ease."

Jiang Mingyue nodded and said: "Okay, you can make the decision yourself. There is a cutting machine behind, we can cut it now and take a look."

As the manager of a bank, she couldn't let her feelings affect the company's business. Besides, the amount of money involved in this business was not small, so she didn't want to take the risk.

Since Li Mu insisted on cutting open the stone, she would no longer persuade him.

Then several people went downstairs together and went to the third underground floor.

There is a rough stone cutting machine here. After calling the cutter, the cutter did not dare to cut it in a big way. He could only grind it from the edge surface along the skylight little by little.

The first stone cut was the imperial green rough stone.

This rough stone is only the size of a fist, but it has enough water and the right color. Just looking at it gives people a very comfortable feeling.

When the microdermabrasion started, everyone present, except Li Mu, held their breath and concentrated, fearing that something might go wrong.

With such a precious seed material and such a good quality skylight, it would indeed be a pity if it really collapsed.

Everyone was excited to see that the skin was getting less and less and the green area was getting bigger and bigger.

"It's gone up! It's gone up!"

Xie Dongchang murmured to himself: "I haven't seen such good material in Laokeng Imperial Green for so many years!"
