"No wonder the store managers of all the major jewelry stores in my Xu family have been calling me recently.
"They all said the same thing. They all said that recently several big customers are very interested in Zhengyang green glass jade rings.
"As long as it is available in the store, I am willing to buy it at a price that is 10% higher than the market price.
"Now it seems that Lao Li has already laid a trap for me to jump into."
Xu Duofu complained angrily.
Shen Yu thought for a while, "It's not necessarily to trick you. His ultimate goal should be to use you to raise the price. If I'm not wrong, he will show you something after this."
Xu Duofu was immediately confused by Shen Yu's words, and asked with a confused look: "What do you mean? You said Lao Li will give me benefits?"
Shen Yu gently patted Xu Duofu's shoulder, "Fat man, have you forgotten your identity? The only heir to the Xu family in Chuzhou and the nephew of the actual helmsman of the Gu family.
"Li Haiyang is a native of Chuzhou, and Mr. Li is no longer here. If he really set up a trap to trick you, how could he withstand the anger of Mr. Xu and Aunt Huiping?
"Even if he dares, Mr. Wu will not agree."
Xu Duofu nodded and then scratched his head, "That's right, Shen Yu, but I really want to buy that string of jade beads. There is really a shortage of jadeite materials in the store recently. I have some jade ornaments at home. Even made into bracelets."
Shen Yu shook his head, "I have a piece of ice-grown Zhengyang green jadeite, which is about a little bigger than a fist. I definitely can't make a bracelet, but there is no problem in making jade plaques, ring faces, and pendants. If you need it, I can give it to you today." You.
"Of course, you can't lose a penny of money."
Li Qing'er's piece of ice-grown Zhengyang green jadeite has been kept by Shen Yu in the safe in the store since it was cut.
Since Xu Duofu's jewelry store is very short of jadeite, let him use it first.
For Xu Duofu, Shen Yu has always been grateful.
At Jiang'an Villa, he ostensibly saved the other party, but in fact if Xu Duofu hadn't reminded him, he might have died if Li Jinrong hit him in the back of the head.
Hearing that Shen Yu actually had such high-quality jade, Xu Duofu's face turned from gloomy to clear in an instant, and he was full of surprise, "Ice Zhengyang green? Or is it a bright material bigger than a fist?
"Brother, you are really a timely gift to me. Polish a dozen ring faces and make three or four pendants, and I will be able to retain many of my big customers of Xu Jewelry."
"What is the timely rain? I am not a kind-hearted person like Song Jiang." Shen Yu was furious.
Xu Duofu quickly changed his mind, "I'm wrong, I said the wrong thing, brother. OK, OK, OK, I'll give you my Audi S7, and I'll transfer the ownership to you tomorrow."
"That's pretty much it."
……
When Shen Yu and Xu Duofu returned to Guanbao Pavilion again, they saw everyone in the room sitting on wooden chairs chatting.
"Hey..."
Mr. Wu sighed heavily: "Six years ago, my store once sold a pair of high-ice yellow-green bracelets. The price at that time was 260,000 yuan.
"Because the other party's business has encountered financial difficulties recently, and they want to cash in, how much do you think I paid for the repurchase?"
Li Haiyang quoted a price of 1.5 million.
Chen Guangnan’s is 800,000.
Xu Duofu casually said 2.2 million.
Jing Shuiyang moved his mouth and said 1.7 million.
Mr. Wu shook his head, "That's not right. It's a total of 2.8 million. In just six years, it has more than doubled.
"But I also made some money and sold it to other customers for more than three million yuan."
"Why is it so expensive? It's because jade is scarce now, and high-end raw materials are even rarer.
"After extensive mining, the potential reserves of Myanmar's jade mines are already very small.
"It can even be said that it is almost exhausted. Maybe in another 30 to 50 years, there will be no jade left in Myanmar. By then, future generations will not be able to eat jade jewelry."
Everyone was silent.
After staying for a while, Li Haiyang suddenly said something that surprised Shen Yu a little. He actually refuted Mr. Wu.
"Mr. Wu, you are overly worried. Jade is certainly a non-renewable and precious natural resource. It is a reality that the more you dig, the less it will become.
"But it is impossible to say it is exhausted.
"As far as I know, the current area of jade deposits in Myanmar is about 3,000 square kilometers, and this is still proven.
"Only less than one-fifth of these have been mined. The depletion of jade resources is nothing more than commercial speculation.
"One thing is that the jadeite produced in Xinkeng is very rare in high-end materials, which is far inferior to that in old pits.
"The materials grown in Laokeng are indeed becoming less and less."
Mr. Wu took a bite of the pastry that was just served and said, "I hope so. Most of Wu's jewelry business is related to jade. If we don't have the raw materials in the future, it will be really troublesome."
Jing Shuiyang, who had been silent on the sidelines, coughed twice: "Mr. Wu, since the material is so valuable, why don't everyone bet more on stones?"
Mr. Wu glanced at the other party. Although he still had a smile on his face, there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, "Jing Xiaoyou, betting on stones is a contest of experience, strength, and luck. It is not that easy to bet on high-end jadeite." ."
Shen Yu could see this hint of sarcasm, and Jing Shuiyang could naturally see it too.
An ordinary person would be unhappy to be looked down upon by others, let alone a nobleman like him who grew up in fine clothes and fine food?
Jing Shuiyang couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I guess you don't know how to gamble on stones?
"I have personally seen someone bet on a piece of ice apple green by looking at the surface of jadeite, which is as big as half a football.
"This is none other than Mr. Zheng next to me, who is also the chief stone gambling consultant of our Jingshi Jewelry.
"Haha, Mr. Zheng, would you like to say hello to Mr. Wu?"
After he finished speaking, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Before Jing Shuiyang said the words Mr. Zheng, Mr. Wu still had a smile on his face.
But when he said the three words Mr. Zheng, Mr. Wu's face immediately turned cold, and his hands even trembled slightly with anger.
The middle-aged man named Zheng was sitting on a pincushion at this moment, his face was pale, and he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Xiao Zheng, you must have made a fortune since I, Mrs. Wu, left without saying goodbye?" Mr. Wu's voice was not loud, but the tone of his words was chilling.
"Wu, Mr. Wu, hello, I...I'm pretty good." The middle-aged man named Zheng stuttered in fright.
"Huh!" Mr. Wu snorted coldly and stopped talking to him.
Shen Yu and Xu Duofu looked at each other, and each read the words "I see" from each other's eyes.
Only then did Shen Yu finally understand. No wonder the middle-aged man named Zheng seemed very reserved before. It turned out that he had switched jobs from Mr. Wu's Wu Jewelry to Jing Shuiyang.
At first Shen Yu thought he was afraid of Jing Shuiyang.
Jing's Jewelry?
It seems that Jing Shuiyang is preparing to enter the jewelry and jade industry.
When he got involved in jewelry and jade, he didn't want to slowly cultivate talents, but took a shortcut and directly poached the other party's stone gambling consultant from Wu Jewelry.
This is tantamount to forming a feud with Mr. Wu.
As for the newly opened Jingshuiyang store, it will definitely need the best jade from the Yatangzhen store.
When Li Haiyang invited him, how could he not come?
But Mr. Wu couldn't swallow this breath, so it was only natural that he and Li Haiyang would play a game to make the other party bleed.
In Shen Yu's view, this situation is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.
Next, it’s time for Li Haiyang to speak out, right?
Sure enough, Li Haiyang took over and said, "Mr. Jing's words are wrong. A piece of old pit stone wool was mined from Myanmar. It was transported to Chuzhou through thousands of mountains and rivers, and then to you and me. I don't know how many times it passed in the process."
Hands, if you only look at the appearance of the skin, then there is no need to gamble.”
"Huh?" Jing Shuiyang raised his eyebrows and sneered sadly, "Let me tell you, Lao Li, although you know how to gamble on stones, you will lose nine times out of ten, hahaha?"
Although he did not continue what he said, his expression and tone expressed his dissatisfaction and disdain for Li Haiyang, "How dare you question me with your little eyesight?"
If it were not for buying Li Haiyang's string of jade beads, on any other occasion, Jing Shuiyang would spit on Li Haiyang's face, and Shen Yu would not be surprised at all.
Before his family was ruined, Shen Yu had dealt with many people like Jing Shuiyang. Their parents and ancestors had suffered a lot when starting their own businesses, so they doted on their children.
Hold it in your mouth for fear of melting, hold it on your head for fear of falling.
A spoiled person is like a murderer. He is dissatisfied with only one bottle, but has a bad temper. Spending a little money on eating, drinking and having fun is nothing. If you really start a business, you are often the easiest to be cheated.
That's the case with Father Shen Yu. If he didn't start a business, didn't want to prove himself, and just wanted to eat and spend money, he wouldn't be able to ruin his grandfather's huge family business.
Just as Shen Yu thought, Li Haiyang didn't care at all, "Oh, Mr. Jing, I'm just telling the truth. Because of good performance, green and stable stones can't reach our Chuzhou.
"I remember that in Dongjiang, a very experienced jade merchant, after consulting three stone gambling consultants, just bought a piece of Laokeng black black sand worth 20 million and a total weight of 600 kilograms. Wool.
"I have seen that piece of wool with my own eyes. It performs very well and is impeccable.
"But after cutting it, it was just ordinary bean green seeds, and only a small part was glass green bean sprouts. Although the jade flesh of bean green beans was very big, I lost more than 10 million this time.
"To put it simply, stone gambling in Chuzhou is not about looking for treasures in the garbage, but some of the rules and regulations of stone gambling do not apply to our Chuzhou wool."
When Jing Shuiyang heard this, he glanced at the middle-aged man surnamed Zheng beside him, who nodded slightly.
