Gold is valuable, but jade is priceless. Among all jadeite, except for the extinct dragon species, the top and most valuable jadeite is none other than imperial green!
However, the value of Imperial Purple is not much different from that of Imperial Green.
In ancient times, purple symbolized the color of the emperor, such as the purple myrtle and the auspicious purple qi donglai, as well as the purple ribbons of the royal family, etc. This makes the value of imperial purple almost as much as that of imperial green!
In addition, the imperial purple piece in front of him is relatively large, and the imperial green has never appeared in such a large size, so Lu Chen cannot estimate the value of this imperial purple piece!
"Little brother, do you want to sell this imperial purple piece of yours?"
"I'll pay 700 million!"
"And me, I'll pay 800 million!"
...
At this time, after several jade merchants reacted, two middle-aged wealthy businessmen immediately rushed to quote the price, wanting to purchase this extremely precious and rare piece of imperial purple.
As for the other jade merchants, they all looked regretful because they were not financially strong enough and were unable to compete with the two middle-aged wealthy businessmen in front of them.
"Sir, if you plan to sell this piece of imperial purple, our jade shop can bid 1.2 billion for it!"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and directly gave the highest price.
"What?"
"Two billion?"
...
As soon as this statement came out, everyone watching, including Lu Hong and Shao Tang, were completely shocked!
Originally, they all thought that Qin Ming would definitely pay compensation if he spent 150 million to buy a rubbish red jadeite!
But now, what they never dreamed of was that inside this piece of red jadeite was an extremely precious and rare piece of imperial purple, and Lu Chen even offered a sky-high price of 1.2 billion to acquire it!
As long as Qin Ming changes hands, he can make a lot of money!
For a moment, you can imagine what they felt in their hearts!
Especially Lu Hong, his expression was extremely ugly, and he felt so regretful that his intestines were almost green!
He had always been 'valued' of this rough red jade stone before, and even made several bids with Qin Ming to snatch it, and finally raised the price to 150 million!
If he had known earlier that this piece of red jade contained imperial purple, he should have continued to increase the price by hundreds of millions just now, so that the imperial purple might be his!
"hateful!"
Lu Hong's face was full of annoyance and jealousy, and he secretly resented Qin Ming, feeling that Qin Ming had robbed him of the imperial purple that should have belonged to him!
"Young Master Lu, I'm sorry, I have other uses for this piece of imperial purple, so I can't sell it to your jade shop..."
At this time, Qin Ming smiled apologetically and politely rejected Lu Chen's acquisition.
When everyone was laughing at him just now, thanks to Lu Chen, he helped him polish off the red jadeite on the outer layer of the raw jade stone and confirm the imperial purple inside.
He was very grateful to Lu Chen for this, and his first impression of Lu Chen was also very good.
If it weren't for the fact that this piece of imperial purple had other uses for him, there would be no harm in selling it to Lu Chen.
Unfortunately, there is no if!
"That's...okay."
Lu Chen was very disappointed.
Originally, he wanted to buy this piece of imperial purple, which was larger than the Zhaoyi Star, as a treasure for the store. This would definitely greatly increase the reputation of their jade shop!
Unfortunately, Qin Ming was unwilling to sell.
In this case, if a gentleman does not take what others like, he can only give up.
